My Little Pony: The Human Nine's Adventures In Equestria and Earth

Sarah's POV

As we were just arriving at Rainbow Falls, Pinkie couldn't help but squeal out loud from the window in excitement. "Ahhhh! Yes! Best day ever!" She pulled herself away from the window and looked at us. "We're all going to the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange!"

At that moment, the train came to a stop and began letting ponies out. Applejack was the first one to walk out so she could get her cart out of the way.

Outside, she began making sure everything that belonged to the others was inside of the cart. As for the others, they were able to stretch their legs on the platform next to the train while Pinkie Pie continued to jubilantly talk. "And not just going – we're accompanying a Queen and Princess on an official royal duty!" She mentioned us as Twilight was retrieving her box of books.

"Please, it's not that big of a deal." Twilight brushed off lightly, as well as hinting back at her dislike of being treated more than any other pony. "There always has to be a princess at the Exchange." She explained as we began walking towards the main part of Rainbow Falls. "Last year was Princess Cadence. This year it's Sarah and Me. It's just a formality. I'm sure none of the other ponies will even notice we're here."

We suddenly heard a large cheer of a crowd. On the other side of the tunnel, a banner unfurled before us as confetti immensely dropped from above. "Wow, look over there! It's the prince and princess!" One of the ponies from the crowd shouted out.

"Oh, this is amazing!" Another exclaimed.

The unexpected festivities left mostly Twilight paralyzed in surprise. While I was pretty startled as well, it didn't affect me as much.

"Could be wrong…but…" Applejack began to say. "I think it's still pretty new to them." She mentioned with a teasing and slightly smug grin.

Twilight laughed nervously as she forced herself to place on a welcoming and thankful grin for the crowd.

After managing to share the endurance of all that attention, Twilight and I were able to have a breather once we pulled out of that mess. It was more of a mental mess, not a physical mess, to clarify.

"Hold on a second." Applejack brought up. "You said there always has to be a princess at the Exchange. Why does it have to be the both of you this year?" She questioned. "I thought it would be something like you being this year and Sarah being next year."

"Yeah and Sarah is a Queen so that would mean only you have to be at the exchange." Ren pointed out as well, he was holding some mint comic books in his hands.

"Well, Sarah and I both agreed that we are a team." Twilight almost proudly recalled. "Whatever we're tasked with, we both talk over and make a choice together. The both of us are just as important as each other." She clarified, glancing over to me.

"Ooh." Applejack understood.

"Oh, my goodness!" Fluttershy exclaimed at the sight of what appeared to be a cupid bunny that was coincidentally pointing a heart arrow at both Fluttershy and me.

"You said it!" Rarity exchanged, observing herself wear an elegant hat in a mirror. "The Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange is simply divine. You can get anything you want here!"

"I can see.." Kaede said, looking at a beautiful flora hat.

"If'n you got the goods to trade for it." Applejack made an almost doubting point. Nevertheless, Rarity completed her trade for another hat and joined us back in the group.

Ren and the others had some stuff to trade for the exchange as well and I had my saddlebag with me with some things that I would want to trade. Snowflake, Pikachu and Zoura joined me for the exchange today.

After a few seconds, we heard something small trip and fall, causing us to look back.

"Nooo!" Spike cried out at the sight of something in front of him beginning to make its way to a small muddy puddle. However, Twilight quickly grabbed ahold of it with her magic and returned it back to Spike. "Thanks, Twilight. Whew. One ding, nick or dent, and this Power Ponies comic book wouldn't be in perfect mint condition anymore." He explained his reaction. "And if you want to trade for a mint comic, you gotta have a mint comic."

"That's a fact." Ren smiled.

"That's nice…" I was only able to comment before ponies caught sight of us and began murmuring in excitement, giving us unneeded attention once again.

Twilight quickly trotted to my side, placed a hoof on me, and gestured me with her head that we should get going. Then, she walked in a fast pace while I followed calmly behind.

"I guess a pony who's here on official princess business has to expect a little fussin'." Applejack mentioned.

"I don't really see why." Twilight wondered as she reached her stand and began preparing her books. "I know we're royalty and all, but all we're supposed to do is settle disagreements over whether a trade is fair or not. And since the rule is that a trade is fair as long as both ponies get what they want, there's never been a disagreement. So there's really no reason for anypony to treat us as anything special." Twilight noticed a small little filly that appeared before us excitedly. "Hi!" She warmly greeted. "Can I help you?" The filly grinned brightly and turned to surprisingly pull out a couple of photos of Twilight and me, appearing to want our autographs. This led Twilight to sigh, pull out a quill, and sign the pictures.

"There's a pony here who's got a signed first edition of Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue, and I'm gonna get it!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed out loud as Twilight did her signing. "I've been able to get first editions of all of the Daring Do books, except this one!"

Once Twilight finished, she lent me her quill so I could autograph my signature as well. "Nopony's ever put together a whole set, and I'm gonna be the first! If it hasn't been traded yet... It's the only one in all of Equestria!" The filly couldn't help but hug us both before she hopped off in joy.

"So Flutters, what do you have to trade?" Ren asked his girlfriend.

"I did want to trade this bear call I've got for a bird whistle…" She pulled out a small wooden whistle from beneath her wing.

"Then I'll help you get your bear call whistle." Ren smiled.

"Oh, thank you Ren." Fluttershy smiled.

"Meanwhile, I'll help Skittles get her puny book." Jack stated.

"Great! Let's go!" Rainbow Dash quickly grabbed ahold of Jack dashed out of the area.

"Well, I'm off to take a gander at some of the vintage stalls." Applejack mentioned next after pulling her bag out of the cart holding the others' stuff.

"Did you say vintage?" Rarity asked in piqued interest and grabbed ahold of her saddlebag to join Applejack on her trot. "Why, old and rare items are so in style right now! I'm hoping to get a vintage item as well…" Her voice trailed off as she grew further away from us.

"I'm also off to find a nice piece of minty-ness to exchange for this bad boy." Spike held up his comic before walking off happily.

As Twilight removed the last of her books from the box to place on the stand, Pinkie stood behind in a confused state. "Um, shouldn't your Queen and Princessness be headed to the royal box seats?" She asked and pointed towards the other side of the Exchange.

"We may be the Queen and Princess on duty, but I don't think that means we have to sit up there all alone doing nothing." Twilight responded. "Ever since I became a princess, Celestia's been sending me more books to read than ever. The library's overflowing, so I figured while we're here, I might as well trade away some books I don't need anymore!" She presented a reasonable point while placing away the cardboard neatly.

"Mm-hm!" Pinkie happily agreed. "I guess I should go take a look around too! Bye!" She waved swiftly and bounced off.

As Twilight continued carefully angling and perfecting the sight of her books, she turned to me as she still noticed me standing behind her. "If you want, you can go check out the area too. You don't have to stay by me the whole time."

"Well... if you're sure." I said.

"Yes, Sarah, now go.. this'll be nice for you.." Twilight smiled and I nodded.

Snowflake, Pikachu, Zoura and I went off through the exchange to find something that would catch our eyes to trade for. "See anything, you three?" I asked my friends. Pikachu and Zoura looked over the stalls, but didn't see anything that they would like.

However, Snowflake suddenly perked up as we approached the Rare Creatures tent. "What is it Snowflake?" I asked and Snowflake walked inside of the tent. It had some lights in it, showing what was inside of the cages. Snowflake came to nine cages specifically and what was inside made us all gasp.

Inside the cages..... were dragons like Snowflake...!

The first one was about 30 feet long and bipedal but this one had an overbite, nasal horn, a break like upper beak and a tail covered in spines. It had a crown of spikes on its head as well. This dragon was a teal with tints of pink, purple and yellow on its wings and body and it had a pale underbelly. This dragon was known as a Deadly Nadder.

The second one was also 30 feet long but it had three tails with stingers on them as well as a set of pincers which made it resemble a scorpion. It also had two ear appendages on its head. This dragon was brownish with orange stripes on its wings and a yellow underbelly. One tail was brown, one was yellow and the other was light yellow. This one was called a Triple Stryke.

The third one was about 61 feet long with two pairs of long horns along with double clawed wings, a snake-like neck and a snake-like tail with frills on it. This dragon was a mixture of purple, yellow and magenta and it was known as a Monstrous Nightmare.

The fourth dragon was 31 feet long and had two pairs of wings! It’s face had two long spines that branch off their brow to the side and it had a "smashed" face, kind of like an owl. It also had a three-finned tail and also had many spines down their back and a large "crown" on its head. This dragon was blue with dark blue spots. It has shades of lavender and white on its wings, tail and head and it was known as a Stormcutter.

The fifth dragon was 20 feet long and a bipedal dinosaur-like dragon with small arms and two claws at the end of each limb. It had a short thick neck and a small head. Its upper jaw resembles a beak of a parrot, while the lower jaw is more round and full of small teeth. It had three spikes on its head, which are asymmetrically placed. It’s wings had a claw on each of them. It had only a few sharp spikes on its back, and it has a long tail that ends with a large fin. This dragon was a darker blue color with red patterns on its back, wings, and tail. Its spikes are also dark blue and it is known as a Titan Wing Dramillion.

The sixth dragon was about 66 feet long and had two heads and a split tail. This one was the strangest looking out of all of them. It looked almost like Zweilous only much bigger. This one was a blue-hued green base color with darker splotches over its body and wings. It had a yellow nasal horn and blue leaf-like spines on its necks and back and it was larger compared to the other dragons. This dragon was called a Titan Wing Hideous Zippleback.

The seventh dragon was 60 feet long with purple eyes, a horn on snout, sharp spines and spikes on the edge of wings. It also a long, slender neck, as well as metal-like, reflective scales. It has a long ledge on the top of its snout and a short, stumpy one on the bottom. Its body is covered in metal armor with two talons on each foot. The dragon is completely silver and it was called a Razorwhip.

The eighth dragon was the most surprising. This dragon looked a lot like Winter, but it was jet black with lighter spots and it had two sets of tail fins; one on the tail and the other near the base of the tail. It looked like the mixture of a cat, dog and gecko. It also appeared to have a rougher texture than Winter. This dragon was known as a Night Fury.

"Woah...." All of the nine dragons perked up at the sight of me and warbled happily, "Hey... it's okay you nine, I'll get you out of here.." I vowed to them.

"Ah, interested in those nine huh?" a pony running the tent, who was a big earth pony who was brown with an eyepath over his right eye and he wore a bracelet with spikes on its on his front, left hoof said as he came over to me.

"I found these nine all trapped in nets. They were injured, but nothing serious, so I brought them here to see if anypony would know where they came from or give them a home." the pony stated.

"Well, I would like to trade for these nine, please?" I asked the pony.

"Seeing that you have a dragon yourself, I would say yes, but you'll have to give me something very valuable." the pony bargained and I opened my saddlebag and I levitated a large silver diamond out of it. "Like this..?" I asked with a small smile.

"Woah...." the pony's eyes sparkled at the big gem. "Exactly like that. It's a trade, Miss..."

"Sarah Gem..."

"Miss Sarah Gem. These nine are all yours." the pony smiled before he unlocked the cages and let the dragons out. "Looks like you nine found a home afterall."

The nine dragons cooed and nuzzled the pony in thanks for caring for them after all this time. They came over to me and Snowflake warbled at us. "It's alright, you nine. I know nine people who would love to have you." I smiled at them and they smiled back.

Hehehe.... they're gonna freak when I show them these guys.

The Traders exchange was a great experience for me, cause I got some more things. I got a silver sword with a golden handle, a large heart shaped shield and some silver shoes, like Princess Luna's. Many hours passed until it was time for us to go back to Ponyville.

We all met at the train station where the group saw what I got. "Awesome, shoes, Newbie." Jack smirked.

"Yeah, they look just like Princess Luna's." Twilight added. "And nice sword and shield."

"Thanks, but I got a lot more than them." I smirked.

"Huh?" Ren asked before I whistled and the eight dragons I got came soaring over the train station and landed in front of all of us. Twilight and the girls gasped in awe and shock while Ren and the others gaped, "No... WAY!" Ren exclaimed, "A Night Fury, Deadly Nadder, Razorwhip, Titan Wing Hideous Zippleback, Monstrous Nightmare, Stormcutter, Triple Stryke and a Titan Wing Dramillion!"

"Sarah... where did you get them from?!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"At the rare beast tent. I told them I have the perfect home for them." I smiled.

"With whom?" Twilight asked and I looked at Ren and the Human Nine whose eyes widened. "No way, Newbie.." Jack breathed.

"Yep... these guys are yours..." I presented and Ren cheered, "Awesome! Thanks Sarah!!"

"Now based on your personalities I decided that Ren, you get the Night Fury. Mason and Carrie, you get the Stormcutter. Rantaro and Nicole you get the Hideous Zippleback. Jack, you get the Monstrous Nightmare. Skye, you get the Razorwhip, Kaede, you get the Deadly Nadder and Jamie, you get the Triple Stryke." I explained as the respective dragons went to the new riders.

"Incredible...!" Kaede gasped, feeling the Nadders snout. The Nadder squawked gently at her.

"This is the best gift ever, Newbie." Jack smiled, rubbing his Monstrous Nightmares' snout.

"Your welcome. It's... just my way of saying thanks.... for being my friends... through all of this.." I said to them.

"Of course, Sarah. You've risked your life many times for us. It's the least we can do." Ren smiled at me and the others nodded.

"So.... are you guys gonna take the scenic route back to Ponyville?" Rainbow smirked, looking at the dragons.

Ren and the others looked at each other and smiled. I know the answer to that.

"WOOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!" Ren exclaimed as he and his Night Fury divebombed below and shot back up at the speed of light.

"R-Ren.. c-careful..!" Fluttershy exclaimed holding onto Ren tightly.

Ren giggled, "Relax Flutters, this is fun!"

"Hell yeah!" Jack exclaimed on his Monstrous Nightmare as it lit himself on fire and breathed out a stream of it.

"Hahah! This is awesome, you maggots! Now I really am the General!" Skye exclaimed from her Razorwhip who roared happily for its new rider.

"This is... different.." Nicole said, holding on to the left Zippleback's horns as Rantaro held onto the right horns. "Yeah...." Rantaro stated.

"T-This is great...!" Jamie and Twilight smiled as they rode on the Triple Stryke.

"This dragon is simply divine, just like my Spikey Wikey and Mason." Rarity smiled as she and Kaede rode on her Deadly Nadder.

"Aww... thanks..." Mason blushed as he, Carrie, Pinkie and Applejack rode on the Stormcutter dragon happily.

"Hahaha, who wants to race back to the home-ship?" I called, from Snowflake's back and everyone cheered, accepting the challenge and we all raced back to Ponyville, with our new dragon friends in tow.
