WHY did you go outside!?)News Travels Fast (Or: What Are We Gonna Do!?)Meeting (Or: Pinkie, do You EVER Stop to Breath?)Discovery (Or: Oh No)Arrival (or: OMG! Ponies in My Backyard!)My name is Pinkie Pie (Hello!) And I am here to say (How ya doin'?) I'm gonna make you smile, and I will brighten up your day-aaay! It doesn't matter now (What's up?) If you are sad or blue (Howdy!) 'Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do. I sat on my couch listening to Pinkie Pie’s smile song for the 3rd time that day. To say I was bored was an understatement, I was beginning to wish I had gone with my family on their two week trip to New Zealand, but I’d insisted on staying home. Why? I had no real idea, but I felt like I needed some time alone without my younger brother and sisters to get on my nerves, but after two days I realised I missed them. Sighing as the song finished, I clicked the next song in my playlist, the Gala song. My cockatiel Mystery flew from his cage to perch precariously on top of my open laptop. Smiling, I rubbed his head and he seemed happy enough to let me. Mystery then hopped onto my shoulder and started chewing on my glasses as the song finished and I looked at the time, 12:19, lunch time. As I closed my laptop I heard a noise, a strange, crackling, zappy, thunder like, loud sort of noise. It was a noise I’d never heard before, and it spooked Mystery, so he flew around the room three times then landed on his cage. That’s when I heard them, those voices, coming from the backyard… “Wow! That was one doozy of a spell Twilight!” came a bubbly, bouncy voice, though how a voice could be bouncy I had no idea. “It sure was, but where in Equestria are we?” came a voice with a clear Southern accent. “I… I don’t know, we’re meant to be in Canterlot” another voice said, it sounded tired. “Well where ever we are the weather pegasi here were really slack today, there’s meant to be clear skies throughout all of Equestria” another voice said. Were my ear deceiving my? Was this some sort of joke? My friends knew I loved the show, a few of them did to, but would they really try and trick me like this? Curious, I glanced over the couch. Nothing. The spa, the pool, the stairs up to the small grass area… Wait! A flash of fluffy pink around the corner of the house! I ducked down as a flock of rainbow lorikeets flew over the backyard. “Oh, I’ve never seen those birds before, I wonder what they are?” I heard a soft voice say. “Well, they do have lovely colours in their feathers… It has given me an idea for a new dress” another voice said. “Hey! Let’s see if there’s any pony in this strange building who can tell us where we are!” The voice I was now certain to be Pinkie Pies came again. I heard the other five voices consent to the idea and I glanced over the couch in time to see Fluttershy holding a lorikeet, Rainbow Dash hovering over the pool and Pinkie at the top of the stairs, then ducked down again. They were real and they were here! What should I do, what should I say!? If the show was anything to go by, they had no idea what a human was. Would they be scared of me if I went out to meet them? Or should I just wait on the couch for them to come inside? The screen door was unlocked; it would be a simple matter for one of them to open it, and as if on cue I heard the screen open. “What a weird place, I wonder what that big black rectangle on the wall is for? Hey guys…” Pinkies voice fell silent, and risking a glance up I saw her staring at the large portrait of my family on the back wall. “What in Equestria are those things? Twilight? Do you know?” I heard the other ponies come in. “What is it Pinkie… Oh, no, I’ve never seen creatures like this before, Fluttershy, have you?” Twilight said, she sounded very tired. “No, I’ve never seen anything like them before” Fluttershy said. “Well I must say they do have a good sense of fashion” Rarity said. Fluttershy seemed to have just noticed Mystery as she entered my line of sight, she had yet to notice me, and her focus on my dark grey cockatiel sitting on his cage “Oh, what’s your name little birdy?” She reached out a buttery yellow hoof to him, and Mystery hopped onto it, but then dived off her hoof and flew onto the couch above where I sat. Fluttershy’s eye went wide at the sight of me, she uttered a small ‘eep’ before standing still as a statue. Suddenly Pinkie Pie was in front of me, gasping loudly, and the other four ponies had walked over and were staring at me. “Ummm… Hi?” I said, staring back. Lunch (Or: Pinkie Discovers Television)“Okay, so let me get this straight, in this world, nopony controls the weather? It just, happens on its own?” Rainbow Dash asked incredulously after I had explained why the clouds were strewn so unprofessionally across the sky. “That’s right” I replied, slicing tomatoes for toasted tomato and cheese sandwiches, which was to be our lunch. I refrained from adding ham to my sandwich, as I doubted the ponies would take too kindly to me eating meat. “So you humans never have any idea what the weather will be each day?” Rainbow sounded shocked. “Well, no. We have weather radars and satellites and stuff which can tell us what the weather will be for the next few days, their pretty accurate” I smiled at her. “And… and what of the ahh, animals? D-do they erm, care for themselves?” Fluttershy asked quietly. “Well, the wild ones do, we care for our pets, like Mystery is my pet and I care for him” I told her. She nodded and glanced at Mystery who was singing his hear out in reply to the lorikeets and noisy minors in the bottlebrush outside the window. Applejack shakes her head “Now that just doesn’t sit right with me, it sounds too much like the Everfree Forest.” She looked at the fruit bowl on the bench and too an apple in her hoof. “This apple is mighty small.” “Yeah, perfect for lunchboxes” I said with a smile, but Applejack didn’t seem to agree. “Apples are meant to big, not small, it just aint right” she shook her head again and went to sit on the couch. “Don’t mind her Rebecca dear, she is just fussy when it comes to apples” Rarity told me quietly. “Ah heard that Rarity” AJ said. Rarity just rolled her eyes and looked at my clothes. “So humans wear clothes every day? And have lots of clothes too?” “Yeah, we do” I replied. “Oh my, think of all the business I could get! In fact, you must allow me to design an ensemble for you, I would make it simply divine!” Rarity giggled quietly, a sparkle in her eye. I grinned and nodded “sure, sounds wonderful” I finished slicing tomato and assembled the sandwiches, putting the first four in the sandwich toaster. Suddenly there were voices in the room, and background music. Turning around I saw images on the big Plasma TV on the wall. Pinkie Pie had found the TV remote. “Wow! The black rectangle is a MAGIC black rectangle! Cause it was all black before, and then I pressed the big button on this doohickie here and suddenly colour and sound and… Wowie! Guys! Their cooking cakes on the magic black rectangle! Look, look!” Pinkie pointed at the screen, a huge grin on her face. Looking at the screen I smiled, one of my favourite shows was on, ‘Ace of Cakes’. “It’s not a magic black rectangle Pinkie, it’s a television, it runs on electricity, which is what powers most things. That show is called ‘Ace of Cakes’, they decorate cakes” I explained, but she didn’t seem to hear me as her attention was on the TV, where the workers of Charm City Cakes were making a Hogwarts cake for the opening of one of the Harry Potter movies. I’d seen the episode a few times already, so I tended to the sandwiches while she watched, and the others soon joined her. I smiled and gave them their sandwiches once they were done, and we all ate lunch on the couch watching what appeared to be an ‘Ace of Cakes’ marathon. The Next Day (Or: Jenga!)The day passed quickly, and was filled with many questions and answers. The ponies answered my questions to best of their abilities and I answered their questions as well as I could. Twilight Sparkle only woke to eat dinner, which was pasta with a creamy sauce and more salad, no meat. That night Rarity slept in the guest room, Fluttershy slept in my sister’s room, Rainbow Dash slept in my brother’s room and Pinkie Pie slept in my other sister’s room. Applejack insisted on sleeping in the folding couch bed. I woke the next morning to the smell of fresh bread and baking cake. Walking downstairs I found Pinkie Pie in the kitchen with an apron on, Applejack and Rainbow Dash playing Jenga at the dining table and Fluttershy talking quietly to Mystery. “Howdy Rebecca, sleep well?” Applejack said as I came down. “Yeah, I did thanks, did you?” I replied with a yawn. “Eeyup, sure did” Applejack smiled, then removed a block from the Jenga tower, only to have the tower come crashing down. “Ha! I win again” Rainbow Dash said in triumph “Oh, morning Rebecca.” “Morning Dash” I walked over and sat at the kitchen bench. “Morning Pinkie, I see you raided the pantry, smells great” I said with a smile. “Good morning Beccy! And thanks! I slept super well, you sister had so many pretty things in her room. Is she older than you?” Pinkie asked. “I’m three years older than her, two years older than my brother and I’m about nine years older than my other sister” I replied. “Wow, I bet you’re the best big sister ever!” The timer on the oven went off. “Ooh, the chocolate cake is ready!” Pinkie said happily and bounced to the oven to get the cake out. “Good morning dearies” Rarity said as she came down the hall. “Hiya Rarity!” Pinkie set the cake to cool. “Breakfast is ready everypony!” We all ate fresh bread for breakfast, and I was thrilled to find that the show was right; Pinkie Pie was a great baker. Twilight joined us, no longer tired, and through breakfast she asked me multiple questions about everything she could think of, and I answered each question as well as I could, though it obviously annoyed her when I couldn’t offer an answer to some of her more complicated questions. The others drifted over to the couch to watch ‘Grand Designs’ as Twilight and I spoke. This continued for at least three hours, then Pinkie started to make lunch, and Rarity helped. Twilight finally exhausted her supply of questions as lunch was served. We all sat down to eat our salad sandwiches with our glasses of lemonade, which Pinkie had found in the fridge. If Pinkie or Rarity had seen the meat in the fridge or freezer, they didn’t ask me any questions about it. We were happily eating, with ‘Pets 101’ on the TV, when all of a sudden there was a loud knock at the front door. My Friends (Or: Yes Nick, Pinkie Pie Really Did Just Take Your Chocolate)Whoever was at the front door knocked again, louder this time, the ponies looked at me. “Expecting any guests?” Twilight asked. “Umm, not that I know of…” I replied, standing. “You guys stay here, I’ll see who it is” I walked down the hall to the front door as whoever was there knocked again. I unlocked and opened the door to see the big smile and enthusiastic face of my friend Nick. “Hey Rebecca!” he said happily. “Hey Nick, what are you doing here?” I asked, then noticed two of my other friends behind him, Chris and Bethany. “Oh, hey Chris, Bethany.” All three of them were Bronies, though Beth preferred to be called a Pegasister, I didn’t really care. “Hi” Chris and Beth replied in unison. “You posted on Facebook yesterday that you were dead bored, so we thought we’d come keep you company!” Nick said, then pointed to a bag Chris held. “We got movies, popcorn, lollies, chocolate…” “CHOCOLATE! Oh wow YUM!" Pinkie Pie appeared seemingly out of no where and grabbed the bag from Chris, taking the chocolate from it before passing the bag back. "We could bake choc chip cookies or something! Oh wait, I’ve never seen any of you before! Well of course I haven’t, Beccy here is the only human I’ve EVER met, until now that is! So who are you all? I’m Pinkie Pie! Do you like being humans? Why do all your faces look so funny?... Ha ha ha!” Pinkie Pie rolled in the doorway laughing loudly at the stunned faces of my three friends. The pink mare was suddenly surrounded by a rose/pink aura as Twilight Sparkle appeared, floating the giggling, chocolate holding Pinkie away. “I’m so sorry Rebecca, we couldn’t stop her…” She noticed Nick, Chis and Beth all staring at her, and she said a quick “umm… Hi” then quickly took Pinkie away. My friends spent a few minutes just staring down the hall, stunned and shocked into complete silence. Nick was the first to recover and looked at me. “Explain. Now.” “Umm… Well… Umm, Twilight Sparkles teleportation spell went haywire and she and the rest of the mane six showed up in my backyard yesterday” I said. “So the show is real?” Chris asked “Seems so” I replied. "And the ponies are here, like, right here, in your house?" Beth asked. "Thats right" I replied “That’s… that’s so freaking AWESOME!” Nick said, his face lighting up. Explanation (or: Cue Pony Marathon!!!)“So… We’re characters, on a TV show? Or at least, that’s what most humans believe? And there’s a particularly large group humans who love to watch this show?” Twilight asked. “Umm, yeah” I replied, “the six of you are loved by so many Bronies, my friends here and myself included.” Beth, Nick and Chris had helped me to explain to the ponies everything we dared tell about the show, the fandom, and the Bronies in general, leaving out things like clopping and such. Rainbow Dash humphed, “told you they were spying on us.” “I don’t think so Rainbow, some of these things they just told us about haven’t happened, so it might be that they are seeing our futures. The changeling invasion and the wedding occurred last month, but from what Rebecca has told us, the humans knew about it many months ago” Twilight reasoned. “Spying on the future then, it’s still spying” Rainbow replied, annoyed. “I for one am flattered that these Bronies would pay us so much attention” Rarity said with a smile. “We should have a massive party, to tell the Bronies that we’re real!” Pinkie Pie said. “I’ll bake another cake or twelve!” Nick grinned, “I’ll help you!” “Hooray!” Pinkie and Nick bounced over to the kitchen, getting ingredients from the pantry. “Umm, Rebecca, would we be able to see this show? Just to see how true to life it is? Though nothing past my brothers wedding of course” Twilight requested. “Of course” I said with a smile. And so we spent the whole day watching a season 1 and 2 marathon. We ate two of the cakes Pinkie and Nick made throughout the day, absolutely delicious. Nick, Chris Beth and I didn’t so much watch the episodes as watch the ponies watch the episodes, seeing them cringe, laugh, smile, look sad, and apologise during different parts. Afterwards Rainbow Dash had a nap on the couch and Fluttershy tried to figure out how to convince my Himalayan cat Kimiko (I didn’t mention I had a cat before? Too bad) not to try to eat my cockatiel Mystery. Meanwhile, me and my friends discussed the episodes with Pinkie, Twi, AJ and Rarity. We learned what was different and what was the same, not much really, and we learned about other adventures that weren’t in the show, like the time Pinkie let the Cutie Mark Crusaders throw a party for Blue Day (A day of celebration to celebrate all things blue) to see if their talent was throwing parties… It wasn’t. That night we ate vegetarian spaghetti for dinner, and watched a movie before going to bed. The movie was Johnny English, and the ponies found it as funny as we did. My friends stayed the night, I set up beds for them and we all went to sleep. The ponies had been on Earth for 2 days now, and already knew what humans thought of them, and how popular they were. I just hoped nothing bad would happen, but of course, hopes are always wrong when it comes to hoping for bad thing not to happen, especially when dealing with cartoon characters. Author's Note I'm really sorry for such a massive delay :( Finishing school and starting Tafe has made me completely forget about this. I'm truly sorry. Found Out (Or: Rainbow... WHY did you go outside!?)The next day looked to be bright and beautiful, with just a few clouds in the sky. I woke late, 10am, and found only AJ to be awake. She sat at the window, looking out at the view. I sat with her and smiled. “Mornin’. Ya’ll sleep like logs” Applejack told me with a smile. “Heh, yeah. Sleep well?” I asked, smiling. “I did, the mattresses here are a might bit comfier than the beds at Sweet Apple Acres” She sighed “Ah hope Applebloom, Big Mac and Granny are okay.” “I’m sure they’ll be fine, they were expecting you to be gone for as long as two weeks after all… Why were you all going to Canterlot anyway?” I asked, curios. “Well, Princess Celestia thought we all deserved a nice long holiday after all we’d been through since Twilight arrived at Ponyville. She was gonna send us on an all-expenses paid, 2 week trip to Singahoof, Rarity was over the moon.” Applejack explained. “I guess that never happened in that show of yours.” “Hmm, no, but that sounds like a great trip” I replied. “Yeah, it should have been, Rarity said its one of the only places you can go and see cultures from every part of Equestria and all countries outside of Equestria living harmoniously in one city country. We’d probably be there now but Twi wanted to try out her new transport spell and we ended up here.” She grinned, “not that coming here was a bad thing, Ah love to make new friends, though Pinkie loves it lots more” “Yeah. Let’s go have breafast” I said. “Sure thing sugarcube” AJ smiled and followed me downstairs. We ate toast for breakfast and soon the others followed, Rainbow Dash being the only one not to have made an appearance yet. We’d all sat around the table to play Monopoly when the front door opened and RD flew through, quickly closing it then coming down the hall. “Rainbow Dash? Where have you been too?” Twilight asked her. “Umm, out, for a fly… I had to stretch my wings…” She replied, looking a little worried. “Were you seen?” Chris asked. “Umm… Yeah… I was flying over those strange roads, and there were lots of those car things, and other strange things… I think one followed me back here…” Rainbow replied, “cars are faster then I thought…” “Oh dear” Beth said. “What’s so bad about her being seen?” Fluttershy asked timidly. “When someone finds something rare or new, people want to see or study it. If you guys are found, you might get captured and put in a zoo, or scientists will study you, or you’ll be pony-napped and sold to the highest bidder on the black market or something” Nick explained, getting a quiet ‘Eep!’ from Fluttershy, it was such a cute noise, again I wanted to hug her. “Goodness, why would anypony ever want to do that?” Rarity asked, sounding a little shocked. “It’s what people do. Humans don’t exactly have the best track record for being kind and moral throughout history, many of us constantly try to out-do each other, whether that means being richer, more famous, or having more and rarer things than everyone else” I said. “So basically, if we’re caught we’ll be made to be some ones pet, a zoo animal or a scientific test subject?” Twilight asked. I nodded “pretty much.” Twi sighed.“Then we’ll just have to stay hidden until I can figure out a way to get us back to Equestria, which means no leaving this house girls.” “But I need to be able to fly! Staying on the ground all the time is bad for my wings! I’ll never be able to join the Wonderbolts! I’ll die of boredom!” RD cried out. “Oh stop over reacting RD, that’s a load o’ horse apples an you know it” Applejack chided. Rainbow groaned and slumped in defeat. “You can watch some movies to pass the time, I’ve got some good ones” I offered. “Oh okay” Rainbow followed me into the theatre, AJ, Pinkie, Chris and Nick joining us. I put on Indiana Jones, wondering if Dash would see the similarities between him and Daring Doo. She later told me she did, and that she really enjoyed the movie. I left the theatre, then noticed someone staring through the window next to the front door at the door I’d just come out of. "Hey Rebecca, could we get some popcorn in... here..." Rainbow Dash had stuck her head out the theatre door to ask me for popcorn, but had spotted the guy at the door, of whom she was now in full view of "He's one of the humans who followed me!" News Travels Fast (Or: What Are We Gonna Do!?)The guy at my door had had his phone out, and had recorded a video of Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie, since she had jumped out of the room over Dash to see what we were looking at. She wanted to go and be friends with him of course. Rainbow had finally gotten over her shock, and ran at the door, but the guy had ran to his car and driven away. "Let me go after him! I'll stop him from telling anypon- I mean anyone!" Rainbow Dash pleaded. "No, if someone else get's a picture of you it will only get worse" I told her. "The best thing to do is make sure no one else see's you guys." Rainbow sighed in defeat. "Oh okay." So we closed all the windows and blinds and all sat together in the theatre to watch the movie. Beth and Chris left, since they had to go to work, but Nick stayed, he wasn't going to miss out on hanging out with the mane 6 for anything, plus he was on holidays so he could didn't have anywhere else he needed to be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We watched a two movies before coming out of the theatre. I logged onto the computer to check my Facebook, and found I had more notifications than usual. Looking through them I found that I had been tagged in a video, and upon clicking the link I discovered that the guy and I had mutual friends, and that he had posted his video on Facebook, as well as on Youtube, along with another video someone in the car must have taken of them following Rainbow Dash back to my place. The comments were ablaze with arguments over whether the videos were real or just really good fakes. Most of my handful of Brony friends were messaging me to ask why I was in the video. The video's had been posted and shared on multiple Brony pages on Facebook, even two I was a mod on. "News really does travel fast" Nick said, reading over my shoulder. "What will we do?" "I don't know... Lay low, stay inside?" I replied. Nick thought for a moment then nodded. "Yeah, I guess that's all we can do." The ponies sat watching us. "Twilight, how long do you think it will take you to make a spell to get you guys back to Equestria?" I asked her. "Umm, I don't know, it could take a week or more since I don't have any spell books." she said. "You should get working on it, you need to get back to Equestria before this gets out of hand," I told her. "As to the rest of you, help Twilight if you can, otherwise, stay inside and keep the blinds down." They all nodded in agreement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The video's were featured the next day on Equestria Daily. They both now had around 20'000 views, and heaps of comments. The doorbell rang a few times during the day, better people thought I wasn't home. I texted Beth and Chris, and they agreed that it would be best if they stayed away for a while. Two day's passed before anything major happened. We were sitting at the dining table, having lunch. Most of the windows downstairs didn't have blinds, I wish they did. We were eating salad sandwiches when Pinkie got one of her Pinkie Sense twitches. "What is it Pinkie?" Applejack asked her. "Umm, it means someones watching us..." Pinkie replied. Fluttershy 'eeped' and pointed at the windows. We saw three people outside, two girls and a guy, all three had out their phones and were recording. I recognised the guy as someone who had come to my brother's birthday party last year, I think his name was Jake. Jake and one girl fled the moment they got spotted, the other stayed a moment longer, getting Rainbow flying towards the door on camera before fleeing, jumping over the fence. Applejack grabbed Rainbow's tail with her mouth to stop her. "Hey! we need to go after them and stop them!" Rainbow Dash protested. "Then what?" I asked. "No, we need to go somewhere else." "My place," Nick said. "It's not as big as this place but we'll fit, plus my housemate is overseas." I nodded. "Okay, we'll leave tonight then." Meeting (Or: Pinkie, do You EVER Stop to Breath?)“Hiya! I’m Pinkie Pie! I’ve NEVER seen a creature like YOU before! Except in that picture over there, which is REALLY good! I’ve never seen such a good painting before, not even from Paintbrush, and he’s the greatest painter pony EVER!” I had to concentrate hard to properly hear what Pinkie was saying, did she ever take a breath? “So anyway, whats your name? What are you? Do you live here? Are there more creatures like you? Do you have a family? Friends? A bowling alley? Can you talk? Of course you can talk! Cause you said hi just before!” The bright pink pony finally stopped to breathe. Glancing at the others I saw they were all about the size of a Shetland Pony, though better proportioned. “Umm.. Well my name is Rebecca, and I, erm, I’m a human. I do live here and theres ahh, lots of humans all over the place… My family went away on a holiday and I have a few friends, I don’t have a bowling alley and your right, I can talk” I said, doing my best to answer each of Pinkies questions. Pinkie beamed at me, the frowned. “What’s a hoomen?” “Human, umm, well, me, I’m a human” I answered. “Well Rebecca, I am Twilight Sparkle. Could you maybe tell us where we are?” Twilight asked, trying her best not to sound tired, but failing as she yawned loudly. “You are on the Gold Coast which is in the state of Queensland in the country of Australia on Earth” I said “And no, this is not just a part of Equestria you have never heard of, it is another world which you have somehow gotten into.” “A… A new world?” Fluttershy whispered. “Yes, a new world, and your all welcome to stay here until you can find a way back to your own world” I said, not sure if I should reveal to them that I knew a lot about them, that there were thousands of people who adored them. “Thank you, this will be an excellent opportunity to learn things even Princess Celestia has never heard about!” Twilight yawned loudly again and swayed a little on her feet, “nut first… I need to sleep, that spell took a lot out of me.” “Oh, well you can sleep in my parent’s bed, just up those stairs there” I pointed to a short flight of stairs opposite the kitchen. Twilight nodded and wandered up and we soon heard the faint sound of snoring reached them. “Right, anyone hungry?” “Ooh! Me me me!” Pinkie Pie said, jumping up and down with her hoof in the air. “Okay, lets have lunch” I said, smiling at her enthusiasm. Discovery (Or: Oh No)A/N: Sorry it's taken so long, I've been really busy and the motivation to write is lacking :( My other stories are also suffering because of this :( Anyway, to the story! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After a few more moments of shocked silence, well, as silent as it could be with the television blaring a little too loudly in the background, and noisy minor birds and lorikeets chattering noisily outside, my friends bombarded me with questions, which I answered as best as I could . Did they know they were characters from a tv show? How long had they been there? Why hadn’t I called them? Was Spike there? Did the ponies act like they did in the show?... Then they fell silent again, listening to a sound, even the birds seemed to quieten, and the television? Well… it sounded louder than before, and it was the reason we fell silent… My Little Pony, My Little Pony (ah aah aaah aaaah) (My Little Pony) I used to wonder what friendship could be! (My Little Pony) Until you all shared its magic with me! That song, the four of us knew it so well, had shamelessly sung it countless times, but now we realised the implications of this harmless song being played on my television, at this time, with that particular audience… “Just what in the hay is going on here!?” Applejack spoke first, shock clear in her voice. “It’s us! We’re on the Tee Vee! We must be famous! But we’re here, and I’ve never heard this song before… Is this showing the future!?” Pinkie Pie said quickly. “I… I don’t know what’s going on…” Twilight replied. We could hear them from the door. “I’ll tell you what’s going on here! We’ve been spied on, that’s what!” Rainbow Dash cried in anger. “I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation for this Rainbow” Twilight said, trying to calm her friend. “Yeah, and Rebecca knows! She’s obviously a spy!” Within seconds a very angry Rainbow was standing in front of us. ”I want answers spy! Now!” The others quickly followed. Applejack also looked angry; Twilight looked as though she were trying to think of a plausible explanation for this predicament. Rarity seemed to be very unhappy at the thought of being spied upon, whilst Fluttershy was clearly scared and very nervous, I just wanted to give her a big hug. Pinkie Pie seemed to have completely recovered from the initial shock and was just as happy as usual. My friends looked a little nervous now that they were faced with 6 angry and confused ponies. “Umm, okay, I’ll explain everything… you all might want to sit down though…” I replied.
Arrival (or: OMG! Ponies in My Backyard!)My name is Pinkie Pie (Hello!) And I am here to say (How ya doin'?) I'm gonna make you smile, and I will brighten up your day-aaay! It doesn't matter now (What's up?) If you are sad or blue (Howdy!) 'Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do. I sat on my couch listening to Pinkie Pie’s smile song for the 3rd time that day. To say I was bored was an understatement, I was beginning to wish I had gone with my family on their two week trip to New Zealand, but I’d insisted on staying home. Why? I had no real idea, but I felt like I needed some time alone without my younger brother and sisters to get on my nerves, but after two days I realised I missed them. Sighing as the song finished, I clicked the next song in my playlist, the Gala song. My cockatiel Mystery flew from his cage to perch precariously on top of my open laptop. Smiling, I rubbed his head and he seemed happy enough to let me. Mystery then hopped onto my shoulder and started chewing on my glasses as the song finished and I looked at the time, 12:19, lunch time. As I closed my laptop I heard a noise, a strange, crackling, zappy, thunder like, loud sort of noise. It was a noise I’d never heard before, and it spooked Mystery, so he flew around the room three times then landed on his cage. That’s when I heard them, those voices, coming from the backyard… “Wow! That was one doozy of a spell Twilight!” came a bubbly, bouncy voice, though how a voice could be bouncy I had no idea. “It sure was, but where in Equestria are we?” came a voice with a clear Southern accent. “I… I don’t know, we’re meant to be in Canterlot” another voice said, it sounded tired. “Well where ever we are the weather pegasi here were really slack today, there’s meant to be clear skies throughout all of Equestria” another voice said. Were my ear deceiving my? Was this some sort of joke? My friends knew I loved the show, a few of them did to, but would they really try and trick me like this? Curious, I glanced over the couch. Nothing. The spa, the pool, the stairs up to the small grass area… Wait! A flash of fluffy pink around the corner of the house! I ducked down as a flock of rainbow lorikeets flew over the backyard. “Oh, I’ve never seen those birds before, I wonder what they are?” I heard a soft voice say. “Well, they do have lovely colours in their feathers… It has given me an idea for a new dress” another voice said. “Hey! Let’s see if there’s any pony in this strange building who can tell us where we are!” The voice I was now certain to be Pinkie Pies came again. I heard the other five voices consent to the idea and I glanced over the couch in time to see Fluttershy holding a lorikeet, Rainbow Dash hovering over the pool and Pinkie at the top of the stairs, then ducked down again. They were real and they were here! What should I do, what should I say!? If the show was anything to go by, they had no idea what a human was. Would they be scared of me if I went out to meet them? Or should I just wait on the couch for them to come inside? The screen door was unlocked; it would be a simple matter for one of them to open it, and as if on cue I heard the screen open. “What a weird place, I wonder what that big black rectangle on the wall is for? Hey guys…” Pinkies voice fell silent, and risking a glance up I saw her staring at the large portrait of my family on the back wall. “What in Equestria are those things? Twilight? Do you know?” I heard the other ponies come in. “What is it Pinkie… Oh, no, I’ve never seen creatures like this before, Fluttershy, have you?” Twilight said, she sounded very tired. “No, I’ve never seen anything like them before” Fluttershy said. “Well I must say they do have a good sense of fashion” Rarity said. Fluttershy seemed to have just noticed Mystery as she entered my line of sight, she had yet to notice me, and her focus on my dark grey cockatiel sitting on his cage “Oh, what’s your name little birdy?” She reached out a buttery yellow hoof to him, and Mystery hopped onto it, but then dived off her hoof and flew onto the couch above where I sat. Fluttershy’s eye went wide at the sight of me, she uttered a small ‘eep’ before standing still as a statue. Suddenly Pinkie Pie was in front of me, gasping loudly, and the other four ponies had walked over and were staring at me. “Ummm… Hi?” I said, staring back.
Lunch (Or: Pinkie Discovers Television)“Okay, so let me get this straight, in this world, nopony controls the weather? It just, happens on its own?” Rainbow Dash asked incredulously after I had explained why the clouds were strewn so unprofessionally across the sky. “That’s right” I replied, slicing tomatoes for toasted tomato and cheese sandwiches, which was to be our lunch. I refrained from adding ham to my sandwich, as I doubted the ponies would take too kindly to me eating meat. “So you humans never have any idea what the weather will be each day?” Rainbow sounded shocked. “Well, no. We have weather radars and satellites and stuff which can tell us what the weather will be for the next few days, their pretty accurate” I smiled at her. “And… and what of the ahh, animals? D-do they erm, care for themselves?” Fluttershy asked quietly. “Well, the wild ones do, we care for our pets, like Mystery is my pet and I care for him” I told her. She nodded and glanced at Mystery who was singing his hear out in reply to the lorikeets and noisy minors in the bottlebrush outside the window. Applejack shakes her head “Now that just doesn’t sit right with me, it sounds too much like the Everfree Forest.” She looked at the fruit bowl on the bench and too an apple in her hoof. “This apple is mighty small.” “Yeah, perfect for lunchboxes” I said with a smile, but Applejack didn’t seem to agree. “Apples are meant to big, not small, it just aint right” she shook her head again and went to sit on the couch. “Don’t mind her Rebecca dear, she is just fussy when it comes to apples” Rarity told me quietly. “Ah heard that Rarity” AJ said. Rarity just rolled her eyes and looked at my clothes. “So humans wear clothes every day? And have lots of clothes too?” “Yeah, we do” I replied. “Oh my, think of all the business I could get! In fact, you must allow me to design an ensemble for you, I would make it simply divine!” Rarity giggled quietly, a sparkle in her eye. I grinned and nodded “sure, sounds wonderful” I finished slicing tomato and assembled the sandwiches, putting the first four in the sandwich toaster. Suddenly there were voices in the room, and background music. Turning around I saw images on the big Plasma TV on the wall. Pinkie Pie had found the TV remote. “Wow! The black rectangle is a MAGIC black rectangle! Cause it was all black before, and then I pressed the big button on this doohickie here and suddenly colour and sound and… Wowie! Guys! Their cooking cakes on the magic black rectangle! Look, look!” Pinkie pointed at the screen, a huge grin on her face. Looking at the screen I smiled, one of my favourite shows was on, ‘Ace of Cakes’. “It’s not a magic black rectangle Pinkie, it’s a television, it runs on electricity, which is what powers most things. That show is called ‘Ace of Cakes’, they decorate cakes” I explained, but she didn’t seem to hear me as her attention was on the TV, where the workers of Charm City Cakes were making a Hogwarts cake for the opening of one of the Harry Potter movies. I’d seen the episode a few times already, so I tended to the sandwiches while she watched, and the others soon joined her. I smiled and gave them their sandwiches once they were done, and we all ate lunch on the couch watching what appeared to be an ‘Ace of Cakes’ marathon.
The Next Day (Or: Jenga!)The day passed quickly, and was filled with many questions and answers. The ponies answered my questions to best of their abilities and I answered their questions as well as I could. Twilight Sparkle only woke to eat dinner, which was pasta with a creamy sauce and more salad, no meat. That night Rarity slept in the guest room, Fluttershy slept in my sister’s room, Rainbow Dash slept in my brother’s room and Pinkie Pie slept in my other sister’s room. Applejack insisted on sleeping in the folding couch bed. I woke the next morning to the smell of fresh bread and baking cake. Walking downstairs I found Pinkie Pie in the kitchen with an apron on, Applejack and Rainbow Dash playing Jenga at the dining table and Fluttershy talking quietly to Mystery. “Howdy Rebecca, sleep well?” Applejack said as I came down. “Yeah, I did thanks, did you?” I replied with a yawn. “Eeyup, sure did” Applejack smiled, then removed a block from the Jenga tower, only to have the tower come crashing down. “Ha! I win again” Rainbow Dash said in triumph “Oh, morning Rebecca.” “Morning Dash” I walked over and sat at the kitchen bench. “Morning Pinkie, I see you raided the pantry, smells great” I said with a smile. “Good morning Beccy! And thanks! I slept super well, you sister had so many pretty things in her room. Is she older than you?” Pinkie asked. “I’m three years older than her, two years older than my brother and I’m about nine years older than my other sister” I replied. “Wow, I bet you’re the best big sister ever!” The timer on the oven went off. “Ooh, the chocolate cake is ready!” Pinkie said happily and bounced to the oven to get the cake out. “Good morning dearies” Rarity said as she came down the hall. “Hiya Rarity!” Pinkie set the cake to cool. “Breakfast is ready everypony!” We all ate fresh bread for breakfast, and I was thrilled to find that the show was right; Pinkie Pie was a great baker. Twilight joined us, no longer tired, and through breakfast she asked me multiple questions about everything she could think of, and I answered each question as well as I could, though it obviously annoyed her when I couldn’t offer an answer to some of her more complicated questions. The others drifted over to the couch to watch ‘Grand Designs’ as Twilight and I spoke. This continued for at least three hours, then Pinkie started to make lunch, and Rarity helped. Twilight finally exhausted her supply of questions as lunch was served. We all sat down to eat our salad sandwiches with our glasses of lemonade, which Pinkie had found in the fridge. If Pinkie or Rarity had seen the meat in the fridge or freezer, they didn’t ask me any questions about it. We were happily eating, with ‘Pets 101’ on the TV, when all of a sudden there was a loud knock at the front door.
My Friends (Or: Yes Nick, Pinkie Pie Really Did Just Take Your Chocolate)Whoever was at the front door knocked again, louder this time, the ponies looked at me. “Expecting any guests?” Twilight asked. “Umm, not that I know of…” I replied, standing. “You guys stay here, I’ll see who it is” I walked down the hall to the front door as whoever was there knocked again. I unlocked and opened the door to see the big smile and enthusiastic face of my friend Nick. “Hey Rebecca!” he said happily. “Hey Nick, what are you doing here?” I asked, then noticed two of my other friends behind him, Chris and Bethany. “Oh, hey Chris, Bethany.” All three of them were Bronies, though Beth preferred to be called a Pegasister, I didn’t really care. “Hi” Chris and Beth replied in unison. “You posted on Facebook yesterday that you were dead bored, so we thought we’d come keep you company!” Nick said, then pointed to a bag Chris held. “We got movies, popcorn, lollies, chocolate…” “CHOCOLATE! Oh wow YUM!" Pinkie Pie appeared seemingly out of no where and grabbed the bag from Chris, taking the chocolate from it before passing the bag back. "We could bake choc chip cookies or something! Oh wait, I’ve never seen any of you before! Well of course I haven’t, Beccy here is the only human I’ve EVER met, until now that is! So who are you all? I’m Pinkie Pie! Do you like being humans? Why do all your faces look so funny?... Ha ha ha!” Pinkie Pie rolled in the doorway laughing loudly at the stunned faces of my three friends. The pink mare was suddenly surrounded by a rose/pink aura as Twilight Sparkle appeared, floating the giggling, chocolate holding Pinkie away. “I’m so sorry Rebecca, we couldn’t stop her…” She noticed Nick, Chis and Beth all staring at her, and she said a quick “umm… Hi” then quickly took Pinkie away. My friends spent a few minutes just staring down the hall, stunned and shocked into complete silence. Nick was the first to recover and looked at me. “Explain. Now.” “Umm… Well… Umm, Twilight Sparkles teleportation spell went haywire and she and the rest of the mane six showed up in my backyard yesterday” I said. “So the show is real?” Chris asked “Seems so” I replied. "And the ponies are here, like, right here, in your house?" Beth asked. "Thats right" I replied “That’s… that’s so freaking AWESOME!” Nick said, his face lighting up.
Explanation (or: Cue Pony Marathon!!!)“So… We’re characters, on a TV show? Or at least, that’s what most humans believe? And there’s a particularly large group humans who love to watch this show?” Twilight asked. “Umm, yeah” I replied, “the six of you are loved by so many Bronies, my friends here and myself included.” Beth, Nick and Chris had helped me to explain to the ponies everything we dared tell about the show, the fandom, and the Bronies in general, leaving out things like clopping and such. Rainbow Dash humphed, “told you they were spying on us.” “I don’t think so Rainbow, some of these things they just told us about haven’t happened, so it might be that they are seeing our futures. The changeling invasion and the wedding occurred last month, but from what Rebecca has told us, the humans knew about it many months ago” Twilight reasoned. “Spying on the future then, it’s still spying” Rainbow replied, annoyed. “I for one am flattered that these Bronies would pay us so much attention” Rarity said with a smile. “We should have a massive party, to tell the Bronies that we’re real!” Pinkie Pie said. “I’ll bake another cake or twelve!” Nick grinned, “I’ll help you!” “Hooray!” Pinkie and Nick bounced over to the kitchen, getting ingredients from the pantry. “Umm, Rebecca, would we be able to see this show? Just to see how true to life it is? Though nothing past my brothers wedding of course” Twilight requested. “Of course” I said with a smile. And so we spent the whole day watching a season 1 and 2 marathon. We ate two of the cakes Pinkie and Nick made throughout the day, absolutely delicious. Nick, Chris Beth and I didn’t so much watch the episodes as watch the ponies watch the episodes, seeing them cringe, laugh, smile, look sad, and apologise during different parts. Afterwards Rainbow Dash had a nap on the couch and Fluttershy tried to figure out how to convince my Himalayan cat Kimiko (I didn’t mention I had a cat before? Too bad) not to try to eat my cockatiel Mystery. Meanwhile, me and my friends discussed the episodes with Pinkie, Twi, AJ and Rarity. We learned what was different and what was the same, not much really, and we learned about other adventures that weren’t in the show, like the time Pinkie let the Cutie Mark Crusaders throw a party for Blue Day (A day of celebration to celebrate all things blue) to see if their talent was throwing parties… It wasn’t. That night we ate vegetarian spaghetti for dinner, and watched a movie before going to bed. The movie was Johnny English, and the ponies found it as funny as we did. My friends stayed the night, I set up beds for them and we all went to sleep. The ponies had been on Earth for 2 days now, and already knew what humans thought of them, and how popular they were. I just hoped nothing bad would happen, but of course, hopes are always wrong when it comes to hoping for bad thing not to happen, especially when dealing with cartoon characters. Author's Note I'm really sorry for such a massive delay :( Finishing school and starting Tafe has made me completely forget about this. I'm truly sorry.
Found Out (Or: Rainbow... WHY did you go outside!?)The next day looked to be bright and beautiful, with just a few clouds in the sky. I woke late, 10am, and found only AJ to be awake. She sat at the window, looking out at the view. I sat with her and smiled. “Mornin’. Ya’ll sleep like logs” Applejack told me with a smile. “Heh, yeah. Sleep well?” I asked, smiling. “I did, the mattresses here are a might bit comfier than the beds at Sweet Apple Acres” She sighed “Ah hope Applebloom, Big Mac and Granny are okay.” “I’m sure they’ll be fine, they were expecting you to be gone for as long as two weeks after all… Why were you all going to Canterlot anyway?” I asked, curios. “Well, Princess Celestia thought we all deserved a nice long holiday after all we’d been through since Twilight arrived at Ponyville. She was gonna send us on an all-expenses paid, 2 week trip to Singahoof, Rarity was over the moon.” Applejack explained. “I guess that never happened in that show of yours.” “Hmm, no, but that sounds like a great trip” I replied. “Yeah, it should have been, Rarity said its one of the only places you can go and see cultures from every part of Equestria and all countries outside of Equestria living harmoniously in one city country. We’d probably be there now but Twi wanted to try out her new transport spell and we ended up here.” She grinned, “not that coming here was a bad thing, Ah love to make new friends, though Pinkie loves it lots more” “Yeah. Let’s go have breafast” I said. “Sure thing sugarcube” AJ smiled and followed me downstairs. We ate toast for breakfast and soon the others followed, Rainbow Dash being the only one not to have made an appearance yet. We’d all sat around the table to play Monopoly when the front door opened and RD flew through, quickly closing it then coming down the hall. “Rainbow Dash? Where have you been too?” Twilight asked her. “Umm, out, for a fly… I had to stretch my wings…” She replied, looking a little worried. “Were you seen?” Chris asked. “Umm… Yeah… I was flying over those strange roads, and there were lots of those car things, and other strange things… I think one followed me back here…” Rainbow replied, “cars are faster then I thought…” “Oh dear” Beth said. “What’s so bad about her being seen?” Fluttershy asked timidly. “When someone finds something rare or new, people want to see or study it. If you guys are found, you might get captured and put in a zoo, or scientists will study you, or you’ll be pony-napped and sold to the highest bidder on the black market or something” Nick explained, getting a quiet ‘Eep!’ from Fluttershy, it was such a cute noise, again I wanted to hug her. “Goodness, why would anypony ever want to do that?” Rarity asked, sounding a little shocked. “It’s what people do. Humans don’t exactly have the best track record for being kind and moral throughout history, many of us constantly try to out-do each other, whether that means being richer, more famous, or having more and rarer things than everyone else” I said. “So basically, if we’re caught we’ll be made to be some ones pet, a zoo animal or a scientific test subject?” Twilight asked. I nodded “pretty much.” Twi sighed.“Then we’ll just have to stay hidden until I can figure out a way to get us back to Equestria, which means no leaving this house girls.” “But I need to be able to fly! Staying on the ground all the time is bad for my wings! I’ll never be able to join the Wonderbolts! I’ll die of boredom!” RD cried out. “Oh stop over reacting RD, that’s a load o’ horse apples an you know it” Applejack chided. Rainbow groaned and slumped in defeat. “You can watch some movies to pass the time, I’ve got some good ones” I offered. “Oh okay” Rainbow followed me into the theatre, AJ, Pinkie, Chris and Nick joining us. I put on Indiana Jones, wondering if Dash would see the similarities between him and Daring Doo. She later told me she did, and that she really enjoyed the movie. I left the theatre, then noticed someone staring through the window next to the front door at the door I’d just come out of. "Hey Rebecca, could we get some popcorn in... here..." Rainbow Dash had stuck her head out the theatre door to ask me for popcorn, but had spotted the guy at the door, of whom she was now in full view of "He's one of the humans who followed me!"
News Travels Fast (Or: What Are We Gonna Do!?)The guy at my door had had his phone out, and had recorded a video of Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie, since she had jumped out of the room over Dash to see what we were looking at. She wanted to go and be friends with him of course. Rainbow had finally gotten over her shock, and ran at the door, but the guy had ran to his car and driven away. "Let me go after him! I'll stop him from telling anypon- I mean anyone!" Rainbow Dash pleaded. "No, if someone else get's a picture of you it will only get worse" I told her. "The best thing to do is make sure no one else see's you guys." Rainbow sighed in defeat. "Oh okay." So we closed all the windows and blinds and all sat together in the theatre to watch the movie. Beth and Chris left, since they had to go to work, but Nick stayed, he wasn't going to miss out on hanging out with the mane 6 for anything, plus he was on holidays so he could didn't have anywhere else he needed to be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We watched a two movies before coming out of the theatre. I logged onto the computer to check my Facebook, and found I had more notifications than usual. Looking through them I found that I had been tagged in a video, and upon clicking the link I discovered that the guy and I had mutual friends, and that he had posted his video on Facebook, as well as on Youtube, along with another video someone in the car must have taken of them following Rainbow Dash back to my place. The comments were ablaze with arguments over whether the videos were real or just really good fakes. Most of my handful of Brony friends were messaging me to ask why I was in the video. The video's had been posted and shared on multiple Brony pages on Facebook, even two I was a mod on. "News really does travel fast" Nick said, reading over my shoulder. "What will we do?" "I don't know... Lay low, stay inside?" I replied. Nick thought for a moment then nodded. "Yeah, I guess that's all we can do." The ponies sat watching us. "Twilight, how long do you think it will take you to make a spell to get you guys back to Equestria?" I asked her. "Umm, I don't know, it could take a week or more since I don't have any spell books." she said. "You should get working on it, you need to get back to Equestria before this gets out of hand," I told her. "As to the rest of you, help Twilight if you can, otherwise, stay inside and keep the blinds down." They all nodded in agreement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The video's were featured the next day on Equestria Daily. They both now had around 20'000 views, and heaps of comments. The doorbell rang a few times during the day, better people thought I wasn't home. I texted Beth and Chris, and they agreed that it would be best if they stayed away for a while. Two day's passed before anything major happened. We were sitting at the dining table, having lunch. Most of the windows downstairs didn't have blinds, I wish they did. We were eating salad sandwiches when Pinkie got one of her Pinkie Sense twitches. "What is it Pinkie?" Applejack asked her. "Umm, it means someones watching us..." Pinkie replied. Fluttershy 'eeped' and pointed at the windows. We saw three people outside, two girls and a guy, all three had out their phones and were recording. I recognised the guy as someone who had come to my brother's birthday party last year, I think his name was Jake. Jake and one girl fled the moment they got spotted, the other stayed a moment longer, getting Rainbow flying towards the door on camera before fleeing, jumping over the fence. Applejack grabbed Rainbow's tail with her mouth to stop her. "Hey! we need to go after them and stop them!" Rainbow Dash protested. "Then what?" I asked. "No, we need to go somewhere else." "My place," Nick said. "It's not as big as this place but we'll fit, plus my housemate is overseas." I nodded. "Okay, we'll leave tonight then."
Meeting (Or: Pinkie, do You EVER Stop to Breath?)“Hiya! I’m Pinkie Pie! I’ve NEVER seen a creature like YOU before! Except in that picture over there, which is REALLY good! I’ve never seen such a good painting before, not even from Paintbrush, and he’s the greatest painter pony EVER!” I had to concentrate hard to properly hear what Pinkie was saying, did she ever take a breath? “So anyway, whats your name? What are you? Do you live here? Are there more creatures like you? Do you have a family? Friends? A bowling alley? Can you talk? Of course you can talk! Cause you said hi just before!” The bright pink pony finally stopped to breathe. Glancing at the others I saw they were all about the size of a Shetland Pony, though better proportioned. “Umm.. Well my name is Rebecca, and I, erm, I’m a human. I do live here and theres ahh, lots of humans all over the place… My family went away on a holiday and I have a few friends, I don’t have a bowling alley and your right, I can talk” I said, doing my best to answer each of Pinkies questions. Pinkie beamed at me, the frowned. “What’s a hoomen?” “Human, umm, well, me, I’m a human” I answered. “Well Rebecca, I am Twilight Sparkle. Could you maybe tell us where we are?” Twilight asked, trying her best not to sound tired, but failing as she yawned loudly. “You are on the Gold Coast which is in the state of Queensland in the country of Australia on Earth” I said “And no, this is not just a part of Equestria you have never heard of, it is another world which you have somehow gotten into.” “A… A new world?” Fluttershy whispered. “Yes, a new world, and your all welcome to stay here until you can find a way back to your own world” I said, not sure if I should reveal to them that I knew a lot about them, that there were thousands of people who adored them. “Thank you, this will be an excellent opportunity to learn things even Princess Celestia has never heard about!” Twilight yawned loudly again and swayed a little on her feet, “nut first… I need to sleep, that spell took a lot out of me.” “Oh, well you can sleep in my parent’s bed, just up those stairs there” I pointed to a short flight of stairs opposite the kitchen. Twilight nodded and wandered up and we soon heard the faint sound of snoring reached them. “Right, anyone hungry?” “Ooh! Me me me!” Pinkie Pie said, jumping up and down with her hoof in the air. “Okay, lets have lunch” I said, smiling at her enthusiasm.
Discovery (Or: Oh No)A/N: Sorry it's taken so long, I've been really busy and the motivation to write is lacking :( My other stories are also suffering because of this :( Anyway, to the story! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After a few more moments of shocked silence, well, as silent as it could be with the television blaring a little too loudly in the background, and noisy minor birds and lorikeets chattering noisily outside, my friends bombarded me with questions, which I answered as best as I could . Did they know they were characters from a tv show? How long had they been there? Why hadn’t I called them? Was Spike there? Did the ponies act like they did in the show?... Then they fell silent again, listening to a sound, even the birds seemed to quieten, and the television? Well… it sounded louder than before, and it was the reason we fell silent… My Little Pony, My Little Pony (ah aah aaah aaaah) (My Little Pony) I used to wonder what friendship could be! (My Little Pony) Until you all shared its magic with me! That song, the four of us knew it so well, had shamelessly sung it countless times, but now we realised the implications of this harmless song being played on my television, at this time, with that particular audience… “Just what in the hay is going on here!?” Applejack spoke first, shock clear in her voice. “It’s us! We’re on the Tee Vee! We must be famous! But we’re here, and I’ve never heard this song before… Is this showing the future!?” Pinkie Pie said quickly. “I… I don’t know what’s going on…” Twilight replied. We could hear them from the door. “I’ll tell you what’s going on here! We’ve been spied on, that’s what!” Rainbow Dash cried in anger. “I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation for this Rainbow” Twilight said, trying to calm her friend. “Yeah, and Rebecca knows! She’s obviously a spy!” Within seconds a very angry Rainbow was standing in front of us. ”I want answers spy! Now!” The others quickly followed. Applejack also looked angry; Twilight looked as though she were trying to think of a plausible explanation for this predicament. Rarity seemed to be very unhappy at the thought of being spied upon, whilst Fluttershy was clearly scared and very nervous, I just wanted to give her a big hug. Pinkie Pie seemed to have completely recovered from the initial shock and was just as happy as usual. My friends looked a little nervous now that they were faced with 6 angry and confused ponies. “Umm, okay, I’ll explain everything… you all might want to sit down though…” I replied.
