Chapter 1: prologue

Author's Note

Hey, for anyone who doesn't know what a Graboid is, you should watch a series of movies called Tremors, you should get all your info from there. My Graboid Has the jaws from the first four movies. And my Graboid doesn't stink like ass and won't turn into shriekers, or ass blasters, so goodie for my Graboid. It also doesn't spin around like it did in the 5th, 6th, and 7th movies though it is cool, my Graboid won't be doing that unless it's intentional

Chapter 1: prologue

Hi my name is jeff, and I have just finished making my Graboid costume. I put my costume on and looked myself in the mirror. "Looking good, skreee" I said. I took my costume off and packed it up.

I got in a taxi and went to the convention center. As soon as I arrived, I put on my costume and walked in. I began walking around the con, and saw some cool stuff. As i was walking around, I saw a merchant who had a few Graboid tongues from tremors 6 a cold day in hell. "Hey dude, nice Graboid tongues, how much" I asked. "$300,plus tax" said the merchant. "Ok" I said. I got out $320 and gave them to the merchant and he gave me the tongues. "You know, you look a lot like the mlp fanfic description of a few displaced stories, some guy they call the merchant, wait a minute!" I said doing a double take then instantly regretting as I got dizzy and passed out.

---Later---

I woke up later and realized that my world was dark. "SKREEEEEEEE" I said. I then realized that I was a Graboid. I opened my mouth and let out my tongues, one, two, three, yup I'm a Graboid. That also means I'm in Equestria. I closed my mouth and tried moving around. It was pretty easy, considering I didn't have any limbs. 'Alright, time to dig' I think to myself. I began digging down and tried listening around. I heard a lot of hoof steps nearby. It sounded like a town. I began heading to where I heard the sound coming from.

I stayed underground until I heard the voice of Pinkie Pie and the sound of cake pans. 'I must be under Sugarcube Corner' I think to myself. I start to go up a little and I try to find an edge I find it. I send up my tongues and feel around for a window. I find the window and luckily I also find a few pies on the windowsill. I grabbed them one at a time and pulled them down. I brought them into my mouth. 'Mmmm, Pie' I thought. I went to grab another pie, then I heard mrs. cake scream. I grabbed the pie and pulled it down into my mouth. I went to grab another, but Mrs. cake began hitting my tongue with a broom, so I brought my other tongues out and grabbed her broom. As soon as I did I put it next to the wall and left it there. Mrs. Cake was still screaming. I grabbed her and put her a few feet away from the window. I then proceeded to grab another pie. I then took it and left as fast as I could.

I could hear a tree being kicked. 'Sweet Apple Acres' I thought. I began head in that direction. As soon as I heard Applejack, I sent up a few tongues and grabbed a few apples from her barrels. "Oh no you Don't you varmints" Yelled Applejack as she lassoes my tongues. I began to surface my top half and loomed over her. I undid her lasso and began grabbing Apples and tossing them into my open maw.

As soon as I've eaten all the apples in the barrel I went back underground and tunneled my way to find some water. I found it in a few minutes. I began surfacing. I brought my whole body onto the beach and put my head in the water and began drinking. My drinking was interrupted by Applejack, who I could hear coming a mile away. "Come back here ya big varmint, I don't care how big you are, you are not getting away from me" said Applejack. I kept drinking. I then made my way over to a nearby tree and curled up. Applejack began kicking me. "SKREEEEEEEEE!" I roared at Applejack. She began screaming and ran off. I just laid there and decided to take a nap.

---Applejack POV---

I looked over my shoulder and saw the giant worm wasn't following me. "What the? Why is it just sittin' there?" I asked myself. 'I better find Fluttershy, she oughtta know what that thing is' I think to myself. I ran off in the direction of Fluttershy's cottage.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Fluttershy in her back yard feedin her critters. "Hey Fluttershy, I'm not disturbing you am I?" I asked. "Of course not Applejack, is something wrong?" Asked Fluttershy. "Well, I kinda have a new critter problem and I was hoping you could help me out" I asked. "It's not the vampire fruit bats again is it?" asked Fluttershy. "No, this thing is different" I said. "What kind of animal is it?" Asked Fluttershy. "A worm" I said. "A worm? That doesn't seem like a big problem" said Fluttershy.

---Later---
---Graboid POV---

"SKREEEEEEEEEE" I roared as soon as heard Applejack again. "Oh my goodness!" Said a new voice. 'That sounds like Fluttershy' I thought. I kept still and waited for them to approach. "See what I mean?" Asked Applejack. I could imagine Fluttershy had her mouth hanging open in awe.

"Ive never seen a worm like this!" Said Fluttershy. I moved my head in her direction. "Eep!" Went Fluttershy. "I think its safe Fluttershy, it doesn't seem like it wants to eat us, it just ate a whole barrel of apples a while ago" said Applejack. "Are you sure?" asked Fluttershy. "It's alright Fluttershy, I'm right behind you" said Applejack. I could hear Fluttershy coming closer. I could feel her touch my beak. Then jump back. Then she saw I didn't move. So she got closer and began to rub her hoof on my beak. "Hello there, can you tell me what you are?" She asked. I tried to make a few sounds, instead all she got was a skree. 'I'm a Graboid' I try to say. "A Graboid? I've never heard of that" said Fluttershy. If I still had eyes they would be jumping out of my skull.

I skree again.'you can understand me?'. "Yes, I can, do you have a name?" Asked Fluttershy. I shook my head. "Wait, you can understand that thing!?!" Exclaimed Applejack. "I think so, but he says he's called a Graboid" said Fluttershy. "Graboid why is he called that?" Asked Applejack. I answered her question be grabbing her with my tongues and holding her in the air. "Ok, I get it, can you put my down now!" said Applejack. I did as she asked and gently put her down and brought my tongues back in and laid back down. "Mr. Graboid, would it be alright if I gave you a name?" asked Fluttershy. I skree again 'sure, but don't name me anything cute, like cuddles, or anything like that'. Fluttershy giggles. "Sure, lets see, what to call you..." said Fluttershy rubbing her chin in thought. The more I heard them, I began being able to see them. Makes me think of daredevil. "Oh, I can't think of anything! Applejack can you help me think of a name" asked Fluttershy. "How about apple thief, he ate my apples" said Applejack. I responded with a skree 'sorry'. "He said he's sorry" translated Fluttershy. I skree again 'how about you name me tunneler'. "Tunneler? That sounds like a good name" said Fluttershy. "Well then nice to meet you Tunneler" said Applejack.

'What am I supposed to to about food?' I skreed. "Oh you're right what are we supposed to feed you?" asked Fluttershy. 'I'm an omnivore, so I can eat anything' I skreed. "Oh that seems good, would you like to come with me to my cottage, that way you can let Applejack get her apples" said Fluttershy. I nodded. "Great, come with me Tunneler" said Fluttershy as she left.

I began digging down and followed her from deep underground. I followed her all the way to her backyard. I brought myself completely out of the ground and went next to her house and relaxed. She looked over to me and giggles. I could hear all her animals. "Come on out everyone, he's not going to hurt you, Tunneler is going to be staying here with us" said Fluttershy.

"SKREEEEEE" I said. That didn't help. Fluttershy looks to me and smiles, at least I think she does, hard to see without eyes. I lay there and began to feel sleepy. A while later I fall asleep.

Chapter 2

The next morning I awoke to the sound of three little girls screaming. I began screaming too. "SKREEEEEEE!"

"Girls stop scaring him!" Said Fluttershy. The girls looked to Fluttershy. "We are scaring that thing?" exclaimed Scootaloo.
"That thing has a name, and it's Tunneler, now go apologize, here give him an apple" said Fluttershy, hoofing each girl an apple. I heard them walk closer, then I opened my mouth and grabbed each apple with my tongues and brought them into my mouth. I couldn't hear anything but Fluttershy giving her chickens their feed.

"That was awesome!" said Scootaloo. I then began to move to a good spot and began to dig. I kept digging down until I found a rock, it seemed lighter than what it should have been. I opened my mouth and grabbed it and began digging straight up. I over did it with how fast I was going. I dropped the rock as soon as I was at the top of my ark, I then began digging again as soon as I came down. I dug all the way back to my spot next to Fluttershy's cottage. I then crawled over to the rock and rolled it to the three fillies. I screed to Fluttershy. "He wants you to break it open" said Fluttershy.

"Why can't he break it open?" asked Sweetie belle. I skreed to Fluttershy. "He said he can't dig through solid rock, so he can't break it" said Fluttershy. I crawled over to my spot and sat there. I could hear the little fillies trying to break the rock. But they just couldn't break it. Then I could hear a pony coming this way. I began digging down into the ground to hide.

"Where is he going" asked Applebloom. "I don't know" said Fluttershy. 'So glad Graboids have excellent hearing'. "Fluttershy darling, it's time for us to go to the spa" said Rarity. 'Thought so'. I began digging around and brought my tongues up behind Rarity and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hmm, AAAAAAH" screamed Rarity. I brought them back down and went over to Scootaloo and brought one tongue up to and I closed it to give a fist bump which she understood and gave me a bump. "Fluttershy what were those things" shrieked Rarity. "That was Tunneler, those were his tongues, he just wanted to say hello" said Fluttershy in her cute innocent way. "Tongues? What kind of creature is he!?!" Asked Rarity. "He's a Graboid" said Fluttershy.

I began digging up and behind Fluttershy and let only half of me show. Fluttershy turned around and looked up. "Tunneler say hello to Rarity" said Fluttershy. But when Fluttershy turns back to look at Rarity, she's gone. "Where'd she go?" asked Fluttershy. I then went back underground and began digging my way to a pond.

I came up and began swimming through the water. The CMC ran to the edge to watch. "Cool" they said in unison. I did a few spins in the water then came on land. I then proceeded to dig into the ground and dig my way back to my special spot, but Then I heard hoof steps coming.

"Hey Fluttershy, Applejack tells me you are caring for a new animal, where is it?" asked Twilight. "He should be digging around here somewhere" said Fluttershy. I began to slowly surface and get to my spot. "SKREEEEEEEEE!" I roared making Spike and Twilight scream. I then settled down and kept my mandibles closed. "What is that thing!?!" asked spike. "Tunneler, is a Graboid" said Fluttershy. "I've never heard of anything like that" said Twilight looking through her books. I can hear the pages turning.

"Fluttershy, would it be alright if I studied him?" asked Twilight. I skreed to Fluttershy. "He said its ok with him" said Fluttershy. "Wait, he can understand us?" asked Spike. I lifted my head up and nodded. "Amazing, no other worm is this intelligent, I must begin studying him right away!" Said Twilight.

---Later---

We were next to Twilight's library and I could tell that ponies did not like seeing a Graboid. "Hmm, could you open up your mouth please" asked Twilight. I did as she asked and let her examine my tongues.

"Ok you can close your mouth now" she said. I began getting antsy. 'I want to move somewhere, anywhere!, wait which episode is this?' I heard Rarity's hoofsteps. I began to dig down as fast as I could. I stopped and began to listen.

"Come Twilight, darling, its time for us to be on our way to Manehattan, I have a fashion competition to enter" said Rarity.

'Hmm, Rarity takes Manehattan, season 4 episode 8, well that answered my earlier question, but at least I know Twilight is an alicorn, and that I'm in season 4, oh shit, that means I'm two episodes away from three's a croud episode 11, where they finde a Tatzelwurm, although in original mythology it looks more like a cat with a serpent's body, ok, getting off topic, huh, oh crap their leaving'

I began following them from underground, I made sure to stay close, but not enough that I was obvious.

"Tunneler Go home, do not follow us to Manehattan" said Fluttershy sternly. I began digging through the dirt towards Fluttershy's cottage, when I heard Mrs. Cake leave out another pie, I made my way over quietly, then stopped. 'This has to be a trap' I could hear Mrs. cake shuffle around with a broom.

'Nope, not gonna fall for that'

I began to continue digging my way to Fluttershy's cottage, as soon as I made it there I decided to go to Sweet Apple acres, to get a little snack. I arrived in a few minutes, I made my way to one of the trees and began to come out of the ground, I got closer to one of the trees and was about to take an apple, until I heard Big Mac stamping a hoof, I moved my head to him, I was caught.

I hung my head and began digging away, I made my way over to Fluttershy's cottage and began to dig deeper, I kept digging until I was at least 300 feet deep. I began to make a burrow, which wasn't easy, mostly due to Graboids excreting a chemical to soften dirt, it took me a while but I finally finished my little burrow. I began to curl up and fall asleep and wait for Fluttershy to come back.

Chapter 3

---The Next Day---

---Third Person POV---

"Tunneler! I'm home!" Said Fluttershy. She began walking around, looking for her new friend. "SKREEEEEEE!" Came a sound below her. Tunneler began to come up to greet her.

In a few short moments the Graboid was above ground. "SKREEEEEEEE" said Tunneler. "I missed you too, and I had a great time in Manehattan, thank you for asking" said Fluttershy.

"I'll save you Fluttershy" said Rainbow Dash. She was coming at top speed. The Graboid could not respond in time. Rainbow ended up kicking Tunneler in the beak. "SKREEEEEEEEE" screeched Tunneler. He grabbed Rainbow and slammed her to the ground. One grip on the neck, one wrapped around a her right front leg, and one around the waist making her eyes bug out.

"Tunneler! PUT. HER. DOWN!" said Fluttershy. Tunneler reluctantly did what he was told and let Rainbow Dash go. He then began digging back to his burrow.

"What was that!?! I had him" said Rainbow Dash. "No, he had you, and you shouldn't have attacked him, Tunneler hasn't harmed anypony, and he's been very sweet" scolded Fluttershy.

"You named it?" asked Rainbow in disbelief. "Tunneler is not an IT he's a he" corrected Fluttershy. "Ok then, what is HE" asked Rainbow.

"Tunneler is a Graboid" said Fluttershy. "Whats a Graboid?" asked Rainbow.
"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEE" said Tunneler from below, startling Rainbow.

"He said, that a Graboid is a Precambrian, subterranean predator, that hunts by seismic vibrations...... oh that explains how he knows when ponies come by he can hear them coming, but why didn't he hear you Rainbow" said Fluttershy.

"SKREEEEEEEEE" said Tunneler. "Oh that's right Rainbow was flying so you couldn't hear her" said Fluttershy. "Uh Fluttershy Hello, he just told you he's a predator" said Rainbow drawing Fluttershy's attention.

"Well he hasn't eaten anypony, he's just been eating apples" said Fluttershy.

Just then Twilight arrived. "Hey Fluttershy, hi Rainbow, I've come to do more research on Tunneler" said Twilight. "SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" said Tunneler from below.

"He wanted me to tell you that a Graboid is a Precambrian, subterranean predator with rough leathery skin, that hunts by seismic vibrations, that grows up to 30 feet long and 6 feet across at its widest point and can weigh up to 10-20 tons, they have a trio of prehensile serpent-like tentacles with taste sensors, that are able to feel around and latch onto its prey and pull it into its mouth, which gives it the name Graboid, inedible objects can be spat out with amazing force, being propelled high into the air, if a Graboid is chasing its prey and the prey gets to an elevated point, it will continue to wait and circle, or find a way to undermine the obstruction, Graboids also have the ability to learn and adapt, and Graboids are incapable of Tunneling through rock or concrete, Graboids also have orange blood, that stems from a cardiopulmonary system, they possess an immense physical strength, allowing them to pull large objects and able to break through brick walls, in order to Tunnel through dirt they have short spikes that move in unison to allow them to move quickly through dirt, and have top speed of 15-20 mph or possibly faster depending on the soil" said Fluttershy as Twilight wrote down all that she said. "But wait, I measured him to be at least twice as big as what you said" said Twilight.

"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEE" said Tunneler again. Fluttershy translated.
"He said he must still be growing, the largest Graboid can grow to be a colossal size" said Fluttershy. "Um exactly how big can he get?" asked Rainbow worriedly. "SKREEE" said Tunneler. "He doesn't know, maybe about 50-60 feet long?" Translated Fluttershy. "Oh, I am so going to get a Nobel prize for all this" said Twilight jotting down everything Fluttershy said.

Tunneler began digging away to Sugarcube Corner to Steal a pie. "Ok Tunneler, anything else you'd like to tell Twilight?" asked Fluttershy. She waited a while. "Tunneler?" said Fluttershy, getting confused. "He must have left" said Fluttershy. "And where would he go exactly?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"I don't know, sometimes he just disappears" said Fluttershy. "What could he possibly be doing?" asked Twilight.

---Sugarcube Corner---

I was right under Sugarcube Corner. I could hear Mrs. Cake leaving out a cake instead of a pie. 'Ok she is being way to obvious' I heard the sound of shifting metal. 'She put it on a bear trap didn't she' I got close and reached my tongues up by the window and took the cake. "What? How'd they?" -SNAP-"AAAAAAAAH" screamed Mrs. Cake. "Snrt snrt snrt" I chuckled. 'Serves you right'

"CARROT CAKE HELP ME GET THIS THING OFF" Shouted Mrs Cake. I reached my tongues in and grabbed Mrs. Cake. She began screaming again. I began feeling around for the bear trap, when I found it I pried it off, put her down, ripped apart the bear trap, and left.

I began making my way back to Fluttershy's. Only I heard something new. It sounded like......... OOOH NOOO. Princess Celestia.

"Are you sure this...... Graboid as you call it is safe?" asked Celestia. 'Might as well make myself known' "Perfectly harmless" said Fluttershy. "And where is it now" said Celestia as I came out and began looming over her. She noticed Fluttershy's gaze and turned around.

"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" I screeched, while flailing my tongues around and covering her with slobber. Making Celestia scream.

I then jumped over her and began digging then began spinning and began coming back up fast. I jumped out of the ground, went over Fluttershy's cottage and dug back down, straight to my burrow.

"WHAT WAS THAT THING!" Yelled Celestia. "That was Tunneler, that's his way of saying hello" said Fluttershy. "I've never seen anything like that" said Celestia. I began coming back up and going to my special spot next to Fluttershy's cottage. "Hey Tunneler, this is Princess Celestia, say hello" said Fluttershy. I brought out one tongue and waved. "Did you teach it that?" asked Celestia.

"I haven't taught him anything, He's just very clever" said Fluttershy. "SKREEEEEEEEE" I said to Fluttershy. "Oh he wanted me to tell you that you sound nice" said Fluttershy. "That's.... nice" said Celestia.

"Can it understand what we are saying?" asked Celestia. I got up and nodded my head then got back down. "Did it just nod?" asked Celestia. "Yes, you can pet him if you want" said Fluttershy. I heard Celestia gulp nervously and come closer. A few moments later I felt her hoof on my beak. I grabbed her hoof gently and moved it to my hide. She continued petting. "He is rather smart, do you know where he came from?" asked Celestia.

I made a few clicking noises. "He said he just showed up in Equestria, and he's hungry, here, can you help me feed him" said Fluttershy. Celestia removed her hoof. "What does he eat?" She asked. "I give mostly give him apples but today I brought him some meat" said Fluttershy. I felt Celestia tense up. 'Wuss'

I heard Fluttershy walk over and some crinkling paper. I immediately sent out my tongues and grabbed the meat and pulled it into my mouth. "Aah" said a startled Celestia. I could taste the meat, it was uncooked but somehow it tasted soo good! At some point I began purring.

"Aaaw, im glad you liked it" said Fluttershy petting me. "What was that?" asked Celestia. "What?" asked Fluttershy.
"What he just did with his tongues, what was that?" asked Celestia.

"Thats why his kind are called Graboids, they grab their prey with their tongues, Twilight can fill you in later" said Fluttershy. "Hmmm" said Celestia.

Chapter 4

'Today is the day, I need to follow Twilight immediately, where ever she is so is Cadence, then eventually Discord'
I began digging through Ponyville making sure to be deep enough that I don't let myself be known. 'Can't have an angry mob, I don't want to end up being blown up by this world's version of Burt Gummer, if he even exists here that is'

I continued digging until I heard a train pull into the station. I heard Twilight and Cadence exchange pleasantries. I dug up until I was a few feet below. I brought one tongue up. "Aah" began Twilight. "Don't worry Twilight I'll take care of that snake" said Cadence. "Wait, Don't he's harmless" said Twilight. "But it looks dangerous" said Cadence.

"This is Tunneler, although this is just one of his tongues" explained Twilight. "Tongues?" Parroted Cadence. "He has 3, and he's underground right now, wait why are you here Tunneler?" asked Twilight. I began bringing another tongue up. I tried my best to make a "D" shape. "D?" Said Twilight. 'Yes' I made my tongues look like a check mark. I began making an "I" then an "S" then a "C" then an "O" then an "R" and finally another "D". "Discord?" Said Twilight.

I brought my tongues down. Just before Discord appears.

I tuned out their conversations and just followed them wherever they went. It wasn't long until Discord brought up the flower that would supposedly cure him from being blue.

It wasn't easy to follow them when they were in the sky, but I tried my hardest. Then they landed. I waited for them to get the tatzelwurm's attention. I didn't have to wait long. The tatzelwurm sprung out of the ground and both Twilight and Cadence began fighting it.

I waited for them to reach Discord and for the tatzelwurm to show up. As soon as it showed up began spinning as I dug through the ground and made a leap "SKREEEEEEEEEEEEE" I roared as I took it out before it could make Discord really sick. I went back underground and dug over to Twilight. I surfaced. "Tunneler!?! How did you find us?" asked Twilight. "That is Tunneler?" asked Cadence. "A GRABOID? HOW DID THAT THING GET HERE?" shouted Discord. "You know what he is?" asked Twilight. "SKREEEEEEEEE" I cried. I brought out a tongue and grabbed Discord's eagle claw.

I then took out another one and tapped Twilight a few times then to me, trying to make him understand. "I think he wants you to do something Discord" said Twilight. "What could he possibly want?" asked Cadence. I began spelling out things with my tongues.

"M-A-G-I-C" said Twilight. "He wants Discord to use magic?" asked Cadence. "What does he want me to do?" asked Discord.

'Damn I feel like thing from the Addams family'

I began spelling things out again, and I could hear Twilight writing things down "M-A-K-E-M-E-A-P-O-N-Y" wrote Twilight. "Make me a pony? That's what he wants? Can you even do that?" asked Cadence.

"I've made it rain chocolate milk from cotton candy clouds, made buffalo ballet dance, and made rabbits have the legs a giraffe, this however might be difficult, but not impossible" said Discord listing what he could do. Discord began charging up his magic. I began to feel all tingly all over.

Then a few moments later it stopped and I felt different. I could feel that I had limbs. I moved my new legs only to fall over. I began trying to open my new eyes. My vision was blurry at first but began clearing up.

I looked to Twilight. I began looking myself over.

I began trying to speak. I moved my new lips around. I started trying to speak. “Tttt” I said struggling. ‘Come on man, you just got to move your lips, speak you fool!’

“T-t-t-tw-t-tw-t-twi-t-Twil-twi-twili-t-Twilight-Twilight” I said finally able to speak actual words. “Oh my goodness, you said my name!” said Twilight jumping up and down excitedly. “C-can w-we g-go h-ho-home?” I asked still struggling to form words.

“Oh, yes, of course we can, Tunneler” said Twilight. I brought out my tongues which startled Both ponies. “He still has those tongues?” asked Twilight looking at Discord. “Ok, so it didn’t change everything about him, but still, it mostly worked, and if I must say that look of his suits him, quite nicely” said Discord. “I think he looks rather cute this way” said Cadence.

‘I wonder if i can still dig through the ground’ I began digging down and to my surprise, I was still able to tunnel through the ground like normal with my legs close to my body. I could even still hear with seismic vibrations. I popped up behind the trio, surprising them. “He can still dig too?” said Twilight in disbelief.

—Later at Fluttershy’s—

We all walked to Fluttershy’s. I was behind Twilight and Cadence. “Oh hi Twilight, Cadence, and who is he?” asked Fluttershy pointing a hoof at me. I came forward and showed her my cutie mark. “Hey, how could you get a Graboid as a cutie mark?” asked Fluttershy. I opened my mouth and let my tongues pick her up. “Eep!” She went. I put her down and I put a hoof to my chest. “T-t-Tun-neler” I said. Fluttershy looked me up and down then fainted.

Chapter 5

“Ok Tunneler be good for Ms. Cheerilee, and I will be back later to walk you home” said Fluttershy.

‘I already graduated high school, and now I have to go all the way back and end up in pony kindergarten, just so I can learn how to speak and read again, how humiliating’

“B-b-bye F-f-f-flutt-t-t-tersh-sh-shy” I said. I could see Diamond Tiara with Silver Spoon, and no doubt they think I’m retarded.

Ms. Cheerilee showed me to my seat in the back. I sat down and saw all the stares I was getting.

The bell rang, which hurt my ears. ‘even in pony form Graboids are sensitive to loud sounds, good to know’

“Ok students this pony in the back is your new classmate, his name is Tunneler, he needs to learn how to read, write and speak, so treat him nicely” said Ms. Cheerilee

“Yes Ms. Cheerilee” said all the students.

Then Ms. Cheerilee began teaching. The time went by pretty quickly. ‘Dang, I guess This wasn’t such a bad idea, she makes learning fun!’

The bell rang signaling lunchtime. And again it hurt my ears.

All the ponies and I went outside to have lunch. ‘Fluttershy packed me a good lunch, apples, a Pb and J, a juice box,and oooh cookies!.... this place is getting to me’

“Hi there” said a familiar voice.

I looked for where it came from and saw the CMC. I smiled. “C,M,C, hi” I said.

“You know us?” asked Sweetie Belle.

I pointed to my cutie mark. They looked at it then their eyes turned to pinpricks.

“Tunneler it’s you” said Applebloom. They all tackled onto me in a hug.

“How are you a pony?” asked Scootaloo.

“D-d-dis-disc-Discord” I said. With that they understood.

“Why are you talking like that?” asked Applebloom.

“Wait, he had a beak when he was a Graboid, he has lips now, he must be having trouble speaking because he hasn’t learned how to use them properly” said Sweetie Belle. They all looked to me. I nodded to confirm her theory.

“Hey look the blank flanks are talking to the retard” said Diamond Tiara.

‘Ok, if I was still a Graboid, I would definitely eat her, wait, no she would just give me indigestion’

as soon as she got close I quickly stole her tiara with one of my tongues. “Huh, hey give that back” she said, as I held it with my hoof, just out of her reach, so I could mock her. I just raised an eyebrow. I then took her tiara and covered it in my own natural chemicals that allow me to soften the dirt for digging. Then I struck it with a special rock and lit the thing on fire and had her watch it melt. She looked at me in shock.

“N-n-not r-r-retard, j-just c-c-can’t t-t-talk w-well” I said.

She began to cry and walked away. I began to smile. ‘Yes, take that you little bitch, maybe next time you’ll think twice before messing with someone!’

I ate my lunch and played with the CMC.
Then the bell rang and I covered my ears with my hooves. “Loud n-noise h-hurts” I said.

I then walked inside and got to my seat. The rest of the day went by fast. As soon as the bell rang again, everypony went outside. I found Fluttershy waiting for me.
“Hello Tunneler, how was your day at school?” she asked.

“It was fun, c-can’t wait to c-c-come back” I said surprising her. “G-g-Graboids are fast l-l-learners” I said.

Fluttershy smiled at me. “I’m glad you had fun and were able to learn to speak better” she said.

“M-meet you at home” I said jumping up and digging down. I felt that she wasn’t moving so I want back and popped my head up. She didn’t look happy, which made me frown.
I got completely out of the ground and she began to walk, and I followed.
‘I can’t wait to come back’
