Nittany had walked 10 miles in the past hour, but he didn't give up until he was in-front of a purple cave. "There is no way this cave was here, and how the hell is it purple" Nittany Discord yelled. He entered the cave while licking the last flavor of ice-cream on his ice-cream cone. He noticed that the inside of the cave was covered in slime. Disgusted, he took out a rag and some cleaning spray from his mane and began to clean the the walls of the cave until it began to shake. A loud roar coming from the deeper end of the purple cave.

Nittany ran out of the cave as quickly as possible and saw the purple cave grew giant green eyes! It was lifting itself out of the ground and was heading towards Nittany. Nittany quickly ran under the purple monster, but then it started to lower itself to crush Nittany. Nittany Discord was able to get out from under it in time and was covered in dirt from the event. He took out a lavender colored duster and began to dust himself as he walked on a dirt trail that was behind the monster.

Nittany could see a town in-front of him! It has to be Ponyville! I'm back home!, Nittany thought. As he walked into the town he immediately realized that this was not Ponyville, but instead it was Fillydelphia! As Nittany walked to the taxi station he noticed something odd about Fillydelphia... it was full of parasprites. Nittany noticed a sewer grate and ran to it as quickly as possible. The parasprites were too fast and managed to get every duster out of Nittany's mane. The parasprites flew away satisfied with what they stole. Nittany fell into the sewer and hit the concrete head-first...

Octavia unlocked the padlocks on the door to Nittany's home. "Nittany? Where are you" Octavia called out. She went into Nittany's room and he wasn't there, she went into the adult bedroom and he wasn't there, she went into the bathroom and he wasn't there. She ran outside and saw small hoofprints leading to where an ice-cream stand once stood and then the hoofprints lead to Everfree. "Now I know why they would add so many padlocks to the windows and the door" Octavia told herself as she ran into Everfree.

Nittany slowly opened his eyes and saw 3 ponies completely covered in dust and grime. "Hes waking up" one of the dirt-ponies said. When Nittany looked around he saw he was on the other side of Fillydelphia, which meant he was farther from home than before. One of the dirt-ponies offered him some cooked parasprite, Nittany rejected the disgusting treat and reached into his mane. "Wait, wheres my dusters" Nittany asked, with his pupils shrinking every second. One of the dirt-ponies spoke up, " Those were yours? Sorry, we used them to make the fire"

Nittany's pupils shrank smaller than a crumb of bread, and a tear rolled down his cheek as he remembered the good times he shared with those dusters. He slowly reached for one of the spears the dirt-ponies used to kill parasprites. All three of them stood up, "Look, they were just dusters... its not like they were important to your life or anything." Nittany screamed and threw a spear at the dirt-pony's head who said the dusters weren't important. The female dirt-pony screamed as Nittany threw a spear at her head. Only one dirt-pony remained and when he tried to run away he tripped on the fire behind him and died a slow painful death.

Nittany watched the dirt-pony burn without any regard to the pain he went through. When the dirt-pony was nothing but ash, Nittany walked back into Fillydelphia and looked to see if any of his dusters survived. He only found one, a cracked cyan colored one with 5 of it's feathers missing. He happily put it in his mane and walked the wrong way out of Fillydelphia.

As he walked away he noticed a few ponies that locked themselves inside their shops. He felt bad for them and decided to lend a helping hoof by grabbing a random vibrating object and throwing it at the window. Sadly, it bounced off and hit Nittany in the face then, due to its vibration, vibrated away from Nittany. The vibrating object cracked the window, enough that Nittany was able to punch it and shatter it. A brown pony with a strange, northern accent came out and thanked Nittany then ran away.

Nittany was walking out of Fillydelphia when suddenly a horde of parasprites blocked his path. When Nittany tried going around them, the parasprites got back in-front of him. "Get out of my damn way" Nittany shouted at the parasprites. The unintelligent parasprites thought Nittany was threatening them so they picked Nittany up, high into the sky. Nittany watched how high the parasprites carried him and thought it was about 50 feet. The parasprites disbanded and let Nittany fall, until a grey pegasus with a blonde mane hit Nittany by accident. Because of that unknown pegasus, Nittany was now falling into a lake near Fillydelphia.

Landing in that lake sent pain through Nittany, but he was thankful for not being dead. He created a makeshift duster out of feathers that fell off the pegasus and a twig. He used it to clean the water and mud off of him and then put the duster into his mane. Nittany watched the pegasus fly away and then continued his walk back home. Once he was back in Everfree for 20 minutes, he knew he went the wrong way. Nittany was too late though, he was again, lost in Everfree...
