The Storm (Earth) Minutes before the storm (Earth) On top of a grassy hill a single tree stands. Its height towers the overseeing forest. beyond the woods is a city home to the person that's laying on top of the hill Cloud watching. "Man... what a beautiful sky... but there's something that's missing" he retorts to himself laying down on the grass, hands behind his head, legs crossed, he sits up and glances toward the other half of the sky where it's completely dark. "This storm is coming in fast. Good" He stands up with force. he takes his jacket off and tosses it to the ground. he runs his fingers through his hair. cracks his knuckles, does some stretches to limber up, preforms some martial art forms to get the movements fresh in his head. "Storms are always the best for training, it makes me feel as alive as fighting strong opponents, I wonder if I'll ever fight IN a storm... heh that would be so awesome!" he unexpectedly shouts. suddenly a drop of water hits his forehead as he looks up. "Looks like it's time, I've been waiting for this for a while. Let's go" He quietly shrouds himself in his own words. quickly he puts his wireless earphones that loop around the ear in his ears and begin playing his music. Almost as if on que the water starts to pour almost immediately after he plays one of his favorite songs. In the air tonight by Phil Collins Cover by State of Mine. The wind has picked up into a roar of spiraling energy. The lightning dances in the sky. With every other punch and kick thrown the lightning strikes creating an exhilarating feeling of wonder. Not knowing whether or not he is going to get struck down. The training is getting intense as the storm seems to be getting stronger. In the sky almost right above him a ball of energy is forming. "What in the world is that thing?... and... is that a rainbow around it?" He questions the ball of energy in the sky. Lightning is now starting to also emerge from the ball of energy in the sky. "Okay curiosity may kill me but I have to get a closer look somehow... The Tree" he glances over at the tree then picks up his jacket and ties it around his waist. He runs to the tree and begins his ascent. He only gets about halfway up the tree before he notices that lightning struck the base of the tree and begins to fall. "Oh no, no NO NO NO!" clinging to the tree it falls and crashes against the earth. a luckily timed jump to avoid recoil was the only thing that kept him alive. landing on the ground in a similar fashion as his tree friend, he rolls about 10 feet away from the tree. "HOLY SHIT!! THAT WAS CLOSE! *cough cough*" gathering his breath he looks at the ball of light in the sky. It explodes in a rainbow of color. Lightning erupts out of the light source and strikes the tree and the tree evaporates into nothing leaving behind a small crater. "OKAY OKAY, THIS IS NOT A NORMAL STORM ANYMORE! gotta live to see another day before I get Thanos Snapped" He spits out quickly as he jumps to his feet. However the moment was cut short. he looks at the light source and before he knows it lightning strikes him directly in the chest. He fades and feels like he's falling then becomes Unconscious...

The Storm (Equestria) Minutes before the storm (Equestria) In the sky on a single cloud sits a resting Pegasus, sky blue is her fur and her mane a vibrant spectrum. A little messy but falls naturally in all the right places. "I'm excited! It's not every day the most awesome pony around becomes even more awesome" she exclaims to herself as she looks off into the distance to see a storm approaching. She pauses. She looks to the ground for a moment with a sorrowful look in her eyes. "Huh... you know... kinda wish somepony was here to witness the most awesome thing in the making... It's almost as if something important is missing..." She pauses as to let her own words seep into the confusion as to why SHE would feel this way all of a sudden. "Ha! I'm Rainbow Dash. The Fastest Pony in all of Equestria. At least after this storm I will be. After I beat the one thing nopony has ever beaten in a race... Lightning" she smirks to herself as she gazes upon the incoming storm. The storm is almost above her now. She steps down from the cloud and begins stretching her wings as well as the rest of her limbs. Rain starts coming down hard almost as if a wall of water was trying to level the ground. She lifts of the ground and flies above the storm for only a moment to see the sun again before taking the plunge. "Ohh the weather team did a good job with this storm, I'm glad I scheduled this day off, GO TIME!" With that motivation she dives through the clouds punching a hole straight through them. She flies in the sky dodging Lightning that comes close to striking her. Swift movements keep her in the storm as her focus drives her to go faster... Faster "Faster.... Gotta get Faster" A cone of Rainbow Energy begins forming around her body and in a sudden burst of light she destroys the rain around her. *BOOM* "Sonic Rainboom achieved! ALRIGHT! Time for the next level!!" She shouts to the sky. The Sonic Rainboom destroys the rain for a small amount of time before the storm starts picking right back up with even more ferocity. she ascends upward directly seemingly attempting to leave Equestria above the sky leaving a blinding rainbow in her wake. She turns in the air way above Equestria and starts her accelerating decent toward the ground. As she descends, she notices that Lightning is coming from the Sonic Rainboom she left behind previously. A thought came over her she contemplates. 'I wonder what would happen if I did another Sonic Rainboom in the same place twice? Who knows!? I might get faster!' Her mind made up she descends toward the exact space her sonic rainboom explosion happened. She slows down a bit for another cone of rainbow energy appeared around her. Perfectly Timed she allows her braking to stop and let's off another explosion happen behind her. *BOOM* *CRASH* *BOOOOOM* This sonic Rainboom had extra power in it propelling her toward the ground at an alarming rate she glances back at the Rainboom and notice a bolt of Lightning coming from the Rainboom is headed her way. She moves off to the side and races alongside the Lightning Bolt in a blaze of glory. Finally she is racing Lightning and she's winning. She Strikes the ground with all four hooves and makes a crater in the ground around her. *huff huff* she gasps for air. "That *huff* was *huff* AWESOME *huff huff*" she looks over to where the lightning struck the ground next to her and sees something strange "well that is weird. I've heard of Lightning striking trees down NOT making them appear out of nowhere..." Just then more and more Lightning comes from the Rainboom in the sky. She looks up and sees a Bolt of Lightning like no other leave the Rainboom before the Rainboom dissipated and a creature falling out of the sky hurtling toward the earth. "OH MY GOSH!!!" She notices that the creature doesn't have wings and is unconscious to make matters worse. She leaves the ground faster than she ever did before into the sky. She gets right above him and see him open his eyes in a squint. "STAY WITH ME NOW!" She yells at her descending ally. In a haze of comedic consciousness He retorts. "You'll have to catch me then heh..." Just then she wraps all four hooves around her acquaintance as a powerful flap of her wings creates a gust of wind toward the ground slowing the decent drastically. they both hit the ground which separates them two flinging them in opposite directions. She gets back up as fast as she can and quickly sprints in the direction the creature had landed. she looks around and notices he landed in the small crater in the branches on the tree that had appeared not a minute earlier. Meeting a StrangerMeeting a Stranger In/From a Strange World The rain has cleared leaving behind puddles of mud throughout the field like landmines. Small craters strum about the battlefield the storm left in its wake. He stands up and puts his hands on his hips to try and hold steady after the fall. Still nauseous he notices that the sky-blue Pegasus is still laying on the ground gasping air and her eyes are halfway open. He sprints toward her to check if she's alright. His own speed surprises him as he stops right behind her. He overshot the destination. He shook it off, turned around, and kneeled down in front of the pony. he noticed that this pony had wings, had all sorts of color on her body like a vibrant art piece, not to mention that he believes she spoke to him while he was falling. "Hey... Thank you for saving me... you okay?" He asks with concern in his voice. She senses the concern in the words and determines he's not hostile at least yet, he does seem fast at least. "Yeah I'm good. My Awesomeness is still in tact" She correlates as she is helped up by a strangers arm. She steps back and scans the anomaly that is standing in front of her. He seems to be doing the same thing. He speaks first "Okay since you were the one that saved me certain doom, I'll introduce myself first. I'm Anon." He says sternly as he waves at his new acquaintance. "Okay sooooo who are you??" "You mean you don't know?? I'm THE Rainbow Dash. The greatest flier in all of Equestria" she retorts as if she needed to announce her title lest she would forget how awesome she is. 'Wow ego much?' Anon thinks to himself "Well you have to be really great flier to catch me out of the sky like that... Actually... come to think about it, I've seen you somewhere before, you seem so familiar..." He exclaims to her as he dives deep into his memory to find more info. "Well Anon, I've never seen you before ever. what exactly are you? you kind look like a monkey but like, less primal?" She questions the Homosapien. "Actually you're kinda close on that one. I am what is called a 'Human'" He takes a quick look at himself taking note that he is drenched. Then he looks around and notices he's on top of a hill similar to his home but the landscape is a bit different. He spots a village in the distance and gazes upon it. "Rainbow, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..." "Uhhh I don't know what a 'Kanzas' is, But I doubt it's anything like Ponyville" she says with a smirk. You could taste the confidence in the air. "Hey uhh... Do you know someone that can help me? I've always wanted to travel which is why I'm not freaking out about where I am, but I still don't wanna be wet and hungry if you know what I mean" Anon states bluntly to Rainbow Dash. "I do have a few close Friends that may be able to help you out, they are SO gonna freak out though. let's walk to Ponyville, that way we can get to know each other a little better" Rainbow states when she steps forward to lead the way to Ponyville. Anon walks beside Rainbow Dash and doesn't give her time to ask the first question as his curiosity is almost literally choking him. "Okay so you're a talking Pegasus and judging by the name of the town you're taking me into the inhabitants are all ponies?" He asks quickly for reassurance. "You are a smart one aren't you? you'll hit it off in Twilight in no time" She responds. So many questions are coming up about where he is and what's going on. But for now Anon will set it off to the side for the moment. Anon wants to learn more about his partner so he turns to look at her however still keeping pace beside her. "You seem so familiar... This whole place does... like I've seen it on TV before. Everything looks actually kinda like Earth but a little more vibrant in color. Not only that but you guys kinda look like cartoon characters, but realistic. Like if a REALLY talented fan artist drew you or something..." Anon rambles on until Rainbow cuts him off. "I'm not sure if that was a complement but thanks anyway. So this 'Earth' is your home?" She asks her Human companion. "Yeah it is" He says losing emotion in his voice. "You're worried aren't you? About getting home that is..." She asks with a hint of sorrow in her already raspy voice. They both stop at the same time. Anon perks up and smiles looking into the sky. "It's a beautiful day, I'm not worried at all actually" He states as he turns to look at his Pegasus companion in her eyes. Anon now has a look of determination in his eyes similar to that of a storm. "I've always wanted to travel and see new places, if I can't get home, then I'll make a new one" Almost as if on que the sun shines a bit brighter lighting the world around them a bit while wind brushes the terrain around them. "Alright! then seeing as how I found AND saved you, you're kinda my responsibility today, I'll show you around, have you meet my friends and get you started on your adventure!" She pumps her hoof in the air which causes Anon to chuckle to himself. Looks like they can make friends from just about anywhere. New Places, New Faces Part 1New Places, New Faces Part 1 As Anon and Rainbow Dash walk through Ponyville looks of confusion and concern are all focused in on the Human. "Don't worry Anon, once we get you to Twilight and you explain your situation, she'll get everything under control, she has a knack for being able to do that, probably Celestia's training" Rainbow says trying to comfort Anon. "It's alright Rainbow, I'm actually glad that you're helping me this far, if I had ended up in any other world I'm pretty sure I'd have a bad time. Who's Celestia?" Anon retorts with a question as Rainbow's ear twitches to the question "I'm sooo glad you asked that before you met Twilight. She is the Princess of the Sun. Princess Celestia Is Twilight's Teacher" Rainbow states as a fact. Anon and Rainbow Dash reach in front of a door that is attached to a humongous tree *knock knock BANG* "Please don't Freak, please don't freak" Rainbow calmly chants to herself. "Just a minute!" Clopping from behind the door gets progressively louder. as the door is opening "The Library opens tomorrow if you... want to...." a purple unicorn stands in the doorway with her jaw half dropped staring at the human. "umm I don't know if you're gonna be open tomorrow Twilight" Rainbow chuckles a little bit as she glances at Anon. 'These ponies seem to only come up to about waist height' Anon takes note of their height and makes eye contact with Twilight. "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Anon, I hope we didn't interrupt your evening?" Anon speaks softly as to not startle his new potential friend. "Oh you're okay Anon. I can't wait to hear your story and find out what you are! This is a spectacular surprise!" She exclaims to Anon causing him to chuckle. "hehehe, I'll be more than happy to give you all the information you want, but first may I come in and use your Bathroom Twilight?" Anon asks genuinely while glancing at Rainbow who had already trotted inside the home. Twilight steps to the side almost immediately upon hearing the request to enter. "Of course Anon! If you go upstairs it'll be the first door on the right" Twilight pointed toward the stairs and Anon started his journey. It only took about four or five steps before he stops dead in his tracks. On the couch sits a small purple dragon with green spikes trailing from his forehead down to his tail. 'I thought everyone was ponies??' Anon thought as he fires a confused to look to Rainbow, then to Twilight, then back at the dragon who gives him the same look. Twilight notices the confusion and nudges in "oh that's Spike he's my assistant" Spike stands up walks toward Anon then Anon meets Spike halfway. Anon kneels down and both parties engage in a proper handshake since Spike actually has opposable fingers and thumbs. "Hello my name is Anon, I'm a human Hehe" Anon chuckles to get a sympathy laugh. It was successful as Spike also starts laughing a bit. "Haha well you probably already got it from my appearance but I'm Spike the Dragon" Spike says in a light tone as the handshake breaks. Anon smiles at the small dragon that only comes up to his knees which makes Spike return his smile. Anon turns to Twilight for one more question. "Hey Twilight, I don't mean to be a bother but do you have a Towel I could use, I'm kinda... Drenched" Anon states while looking at himself. Twilight noticed that he was soaked earlier and used context clues to deduce that isn't normal for 'Humans' "Oh uh actually I have a spell that can make you all dry in the blink of an eye, you mind?" Twilight asks the human. "Wait, you can do like... real magic?" Anon looks at Rainbow for confirmation in which Rainbow smirks and nods her head. "Dude, Magic is the thing that makes Equestria go 'round" Rainbow retorts while jumping in the air, seemingly floating there flapping her wings. "Here, allow me Anon" Twilight states right before her Horn lights up in a purple glow fires a laser at Anon hitting him square in the chest. Anon flinches and braces expecting to explode into oblivion. The water in his clothes seem to just evaporate into the air. Anon rubs his hands on his clothes just to confirm that what just happened, happened. "Okay, this is crazy and super cool, magic doesn't exactly exist where I come from" Anon states which makes Rainbow Twilight and Spike all flinch at the statement. "Oh we've got so much to talk about, I want you to meet the rest of the girls, I'm gonna bring them here real quick, okay?" Twilight says before Anon could tell her "Sure I'd love t..." She flashes and then she's gone. Anon looks at Rainbow Dash for confirmation that she just disappeared "Did she just... disappear?" Rainbow Dash lands and shakes her head while chuckling at his ignorance "she can teleport, oh man you have so much to learn if you're gonna stay here in Ponyville" She says while trotting to the couch to plop down on it with a satisfying *poof*. Anon chuckles "Haha okay Rainbow thanks for the heads up" Anon states as he turns to walk toward the steps to get to the bathroom, he starts his ascent. "I'll be back down in a minute" Anon's ascent not slowing down in the slightest. "Alright!" Rainbow responds to the ascending human New Places, New Faces Part 2New Places, New Faces Part 2 A flash of light illuminates the interior of the tree Twilight Sparkle calls home. Suddenly standing in the room are all of Rainbow's friends she was talking about to Anon. "Okay Twi, Where is this 'Human' y'all were talkin' bout?" An Orange pony with apples on her flank and a fairly sizable cowboy hat on her head conjectures. "oh... umm.... I hope he's not... scary looking" A yellow Pegasus says in an almost inaudible whisper. "Nonsense Darling, He won't look the least bit scary once he visits my Boutique" A white unicorn with swirly purple hair speaks eloquently. "Well whatever he's wearing he can wear it at the PARTY!!! it's gonna be the most amazingepicspectacularsuperduperthanksforcomingtoequestriaeverafter party!! WHOOHOO!!" A pink pony excitedly states as she pulls a canon out of nowhere and fires it at the steps Anon is now coming down. Anon gets blasted by some of the confetti from canon fire then laughs a little bit as he looks around the room. "Haha man my friends are not gonna believe me when I tell them what happened to me" He states to himself as he looks at everyone in the room. There's an awkward silence till Rainbow Dash breaks it with a well timed cough. *Cough* "Ahem, Alright so this is Anon and I just wanna point out that I'm so fast that he came all the way from a different world just to witness my awesomeness first hand" Rainbow says as a matter of factly while striking a pose. Anon steps forward to catch the attention from everyone. "Haha sure Rainbow I came all the way from an entirely different universe just to watch you... wait... What exactly were you doing in the middle of a thunderstorm?" Anon stops to fire a confused look at Rainbow Dash, and everyone else also looks at her with a confused look. "Uhhh, well I was too busy catching a helpless human' out of the sky so yeah..." Rainbow states as she kicks at the ground hiding her real reason. Anon speaks up "Hello everyone, my name is Anon and I'm a human from a place called earth. I'm not sure how I even got here but I assure everyone here that I'm not here to invade or anything like that. I only harm if I or my friends are in danger. So I think I should let everyone know what I can do. In exchange for Information I also want Information because as far as I know I'm the only... human.. here" Reality sets in. Anon slowly drags himself to the couch to sit right next to Spike. His hands rubbing his face at an attempt to wipe away any sentiment that he has for his home. But to no avail. His head rests on his clenched hands. "Oh dear..." Twilight walks over to and stops in front of Anon who just notices her after a moment of disillusion. Rainbow follows suit and takes a seat right next to Anon who is now sitting right in between a dragon and a Pegasus. Can't say this is a normal evening by any means. Twilight is the first to speak up "Anon, you may be the only one of your kind here, but by no means are you alone. We will help you as much as we can. We'll let Princess Celestia know about you and get you citizenship here and get you stable here in Ponyville. Then we'll figure out a way of getting you home" Twilight says with a genuine tone of sympathy. Everyone in the room steps forward in front of Anon except Rainbow Dash who remains beside Anon on the couch. "I agree with Twi, all of us have Ya'll back" The Orange pony states with her country accent. "Ummm and me and my animals can help of course... too.. I mean if you don't mind of course.." The Yellow Pegasus says in a whisper but still heard by all. "Don't worry Darling, get with me and you're gonna like the way you look, I guarantee it." The White unicorn says which causes a small chuckle from Anon. "YEAH! and once you get all settled we'll throw you a party! The biggest anypony has ever seen!!" The Pink pony states in an energetic tone. Rainbow places a hoof on Anon's back which causes him to look to his left to meet Rainbow Dash's gaze. In that moment Anon's world stopped for just a second, just long enough to actually notice something about Rainbow Dash. 'Her eyes are really pretty' Rainbow Dash pauses to look at Anon for a moment as well before speaking up. "Remember that not only did I save you from demise, But I also saved you from being alone too, I'm your first friend, remember that" Rainbow Dash's look goes from a sympathetic one to that of a cocky smirk. Anon also smirks adding some chuckles in there. Spike nudges Anon in the side which snatches Anon's attention. "I'm not chopped liver you know. plus I'm in desperate need for another guy friend around here" Everyone laughs at the terrible joke. "Thanks Rainbow Dash... Thank you everyone. I promise that as much work you put in for me, I'll put in for you as well. I mean what are friends for right?" Anon says looking at everyone. The next few hours was spent with introductions with overall summaries of the world's as well as themselves. Anon now knows all of their names as well as their quirks. The 'Main 6 and Spike' now know about Anon and a little bit of his world as well as his martial art background. However he decided to keep his dreams and aspirations to himself for the time being as he thought it irrelevant right now. It is now about 11 or 12 at night. "Okay since I'm the one that brought everypony here, I'll teleport everypony home" Twilight says as Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie all gathered around Twilight. "Good night Anon" all four ponies say in unison. "I'll be back Anon" Twilight says before her horn glows and a flash of light illuminates the room and all 5 vanish. "Okay Anon that means I'm going to sleep to, night bro" Spike says giving Anon a fist bump before running upstairs leaving Anon and Rainbow Dash alone. "Hey thanks again Rainbow, for having my back I mean, feels good knowing that I can make friends in an alien world haha" "haha says the alien" Rainbow chuckles "Hey, I'm really curious, What WERE you doing in that storm?" Anon asks "The same thing you said you were doing in the storm, I was practicing what I love to do" Rainbow responds while looking at the ceiling. "Racing? but you were the only Person.. ahem.. Pony around when I came to. what were you racing? Lightning?" Anon laughs off before the silence captures Anon. He realized she was serious. "Actually, I wa" *Flash* A sudden flash of light and Twilight is standing in the same spot she left from. "I'm back! oh Rainbow you're still here, did you wanna stay here too?" Twilight asks genuinely. "Oh no I'm actually about to head out. gotta hit the hay cuz I work tomorrow and it calls for a sunny day, sooo clearing the sky for me" She says in a sarcastic tone. Rainbow Dash gets up from the couch and gets to the front door before turning around to meet Anon's eyes one more time. "You know, you make one Tartarus of a first impression" She opens the door and flies off without waiting for a response. Anon not knowing if that is good or bad replies even though she's not there anymore. "Likewise" Small Time Skip Large DiscoveryOne Week Later... Anon sits up in the bed, it's early in the morning, but he's having trouble getting rest. It's around 5 in the morning so Anon goes to the bathroom located less then 5 feet from the bed. he splashes water on his face then goes to the fridge and grabs a jar that has cold coffee Mocha flavored. "man, I'm glad they have caffeine in this world, otherwise I'd be screwed" Anon speaks to himself in the room. he goes to the lone desk next to the window and sit's on the chair while resting his arms on the desk next to the coffee. Anon looks out of the window in thought watching the sun rise slowly over the horizon. He notices there are some early morning joggers about in Ponyville. "I'm glad this Inn allowed me to stay after Princess Celestia gave me citizenship here. They barely know me and they are all so willing to help. I'm actually kinda glad I got to come here, It's so much better than the dog eat dog world I came from." Inner monologue turns to an outer one when a Rainbow colored mane blocks Anon view of Ponyville snapping him out of the trance. Anon open's the window to address the Pegasus. "What are you doing up this early?" "Well I was up practicing some new tricks then I went to take a late night nap" "Late night napping is sleeping Rainbow" "Whatever, anyway that didn't happen so I came to check on you, How's the Inn" "It's a little small but it is cozy, just the essentials" Anon takes a moment to look around the room, then back at Rainbow Dash, "I got some time before I got to work today, wanna hang? maybe show me that new move?" Rainbow's eyes widened and a smile crept on her face "heck yeah!" She flies inside "Uhhhh. Rainbow.." "What's up?" Rainbow looks at Anon and notices that He has no shirt on, a light shade of rose forms on her face as she quickly looks away. "Yeah I gotta grab a shower and get ready for today so uhh you wouldn't mind meeting up in an hour or so?" "Right I gotcha I'll meet you at sugarcube corner in an hour" She swiftly flies through the window and takes a quick glance back Anon only to see Anon's exposed back as he walks to the bathroom. "Wait why did I get flustered, Ponies don't wear clothes all the time sooo... Maybe it's because he's not a Pony... That and the Guy is cut.." Rainbow snaps out of her small daze and flies towards her home to chill for an hour. *Hour later at Sugarcube corner* "Jeez where is this Stallion... I mean Person" Rainbow looks around to see ponies but no humans. She opens her wing to take flight but she catches her new alien friend turning a corner jogging in the direction of Rainbow. "Sorry Rainbow, took a wrong turn" "Dang, I was about to ask if they tell time differently where you're from" "Well maybe, you guys have daylight savings time?" "Daylight Savings what now??" "Haha Figured you didn't" "Whatever anyway I know about this park with an open field, let's go there" "I'm all about open fields, they're perfect for training" "Training? What exactly are you talking about when you talk about training?" "I'll explain on the way and show you when we get there" "That's fair" she puffs her hair with a quick breath *15 minutes and a conversation about martial arts later* Anon and Rainbow passes a few trees blocking the complete view of the park, Anon stops to take in the view while Rainbow takes a couple steps forward and turned around to announce the location. "You may not recognize this place at first but..." "...This is the area I fell" Anon didn't notice the beauty of it all before. "Yeah, and I caught you" Rainbow strikes a pose and spread her wings to full length and stood on her back hooves "You know being the awesome Pony I am" Rainbow smirks before taking to the sky "Haha yeah that ego flies higher than yourself you know that" "Hey! It's the truth! anyway you gonna show me these sick fighting moves or what?" "Hold your horses Rainbow let's head to that hill and I'll show you" Anon chuckles "Race Ya!" "Oh, You're on!!" Rainbow Dash flies directly toward the hill flying right over the semi large crater on the ground. Anon following close behind surprisingly. Anon notices that the crater is just small enough to jump over but he has to miss the tree branches just sticking out of it. Anon tightens his stomach and rushes forward feeling his energy fill his legs he steps forward with a force, so much force in fact that the footstep causes a impact in the ground. Anon jumps. "Hahaha you gotta do better then that to catch up with... WOAHHH!!!!" Rainbow looks behind her and finds Anon soaring through the air while he waves his arms and legs to get stable in mid-air. "WHAAAAT THEEEE FUUUUUUUCK!!!!!" Anon screams as he hurtles toward the earth halfway down on the other side of the hill just grazing the Tree that still stands atop. 'Okay, Okay think think, All you have to do is land just roll afterwards, Here we go!' Anon bends his legs as to not break them upon meeting the ground. Both feet hitting the ground still halfway down the hill, Anon begins to spin however it becomes uncontrollable once he hits a steeper area. "Ahh ouch seriously what the hell just happened?" Anon asks himself still laying on the ground. "HEY ARE YOU OKAY!!" Rainbow asks while flying toward Anon in a hurry. "Yeah I'm alright... just... surprised is all" As Anon gets up and checks himself for any injuries. To his surprise he couldn't find any. "Jeez Anon you gotta work on your landing, Why didn't you tell me you could fly?" "Rainbow Dash... I can't fly" "Then what was that just now?" "I'm not entirely sure, but on earth, Humans can't fly without machines" Anon looks at his hands for reassurance that what he just did actually happen. "Rainbow I have a theory, let's get on top of the hill, I wanna try something" Rainbow Dash fires a look of confusion at Anon. They both start up the hill in a light jog. They arrive at the top of the hill where the view oversees just above the surrounding forest. "Okay let me give it a test, then I'll give you my theory" Anon gestures for Rainbow to get behind him. 'Okay Anon, I think this might work just like in anime, If I'm right I shouldn't cause any damage to anyone from up here, I don't see any Pegasi around so it should be fine' Anon presses his palms together and begins to focus his energy into his right arm, 'I've always wanted to try this...' He draws back and quickly throws a jab with about half strength "SMASSSHHHHH!!!!" Anon screams as he punches straight forward. Just then a blast of gale shot in the direction the fist was facing. The wind whirling around attempting to gain equilibrium. The wind settles quickly "WOAHHH!! So THAT is your world's martial arts? or is that another thing that human's aren't supposed to be able to do?" Rainbow says picking up her jaw. "Well in its core yes that was martial arts, but it doesn't have that much power on earth, here's my theory. Since there is an abundance of 'magic' in this world, The energy I have in my body, The very energy I use to master my martial arts, Has taken the property of 'magic' probably to adapt to this world." "Yeah you're a little bit of an egghead like Twilight but how did you know what you could do even before using this... Magical energy?" "Well in my world, people who practice martial arts for a long time use what they call 'chi' or in other words, Energy that lives in every living thing. We use this Energy to 'Enhance' our physical bodies to be able to do crazy things. Like breaking bricks or stop spears with your body and not get hurt. Which is probably why I didn't get hurt in that fall" "Wow That is a lot to digest" Rainbow looks at Anon then off into the distance toward Ponyville "So what does this mean?" "Nothing actually" Rainbow looks at Anon with confusion just like earlier "huh?" "Well not gonna lie it's super awesome! And this means I can help you Elements of Harmony to fight any evil that comes to threaten this land and our Friendship. But no matter what, I'm not gonna let this power corrupt me" "Haha well I'm glad you're on our side then but, I wouldn't let anything corrupt you, They don't call me 'Loyalty' for nothin!!" Striking another pose "Yeah, I think I gotta get back to the Inn cuz Applejack might need some help soon" "Alright hey let's hang out next off day we need to see what you can do" "Oh I intend on finding out myself, let's do it!" Anon and Rainbow get excited and head off on the road back to Ponyville "By the way.... Smash?? Hahaha" Rainbow chuckles "Oh yeah" Embarrassment fills Anon "Yeah I watch a lot of TV shows called anime. I'm kinda a big fan" Anon clears his throat to sound more cool. "Well whatever it was, it was pretty Awesome" Rainbow bumps her side into Anon to reassure him "It was awesome wasn't it?" "Not as much as me though" Rainbow smirks "Keep that up and your head will explode from the expansion of your ego" "As if!" New BeginningsAnon wakes up as soon as the sunlight coming in from the window hits his face. "Ugh, I haven't slept in in a while" Anon gets up and does some stretches to limber up. Anon steps over to the shower and turns on the water. *Knock knock* "The front door? at least I know it's not Rainbow. I'm Coming!!" Anon leaves the shower water on and steps to the door to open it. Anon opens the door to find Applejack standing on the other side of the threshold. "Howdy Sugar cube" Applejack tips her hat. "Oh Gosh! I'm not late for work, am I?" Anon glances quickly at the clock to check the time. "Ahh no no, don't getcha horseshoes inna twist y'here? I actually came to tell ya that'cha don't have to come to work today" "So like a day off" "Well Sorta, Mind if I come in?" "Oh of course, make yourself at home, It's small but still cozy" "Funny you say that Sugar, That's why I'm here" Applejack goes over to the lone chair next to the window and desk and sits down. Anon comes back from turning off the water and steps out of the steam covered room. "What do you mean?" Anon sits on the bed all the while shooting a confused look at the Orange Mare. "Well none of us knows exactly when or even HOW Ya'll gonna get back to your home" "Yeah neither do I but in the short time I've been here i gotta say. I love it here" "That's mighty fine of you to say. So what's say bout gettin you a house?" "Well, I'd love to have my own house. But for one I have not nearly enough bits, And for two I think all the buildings in this village are owned" "Except one" "Oh yeah?" "Yeah, There's an ol' Shack closer in between Town and the Park you fell in at" "Actually now that you mention it I did notice it while I was walking to the park with Rainbow Dash the other day, I'd love to get that but there's still a 'bit' of an issue hehe" Anon chuckled a little at his own joke "Well, it is kinda run down, That an' the rest of the girls wanna help you, So meet us at that shack and we'll discuss it witcha. Sound good partner?" "That sounds great! I'll see you guys there!" Anon says with excitement apparent in his voice Applejack gets up and heads toward the door. Anon opens the door for her but just before the Orange mare can get too far... "Hey Applejack, just curious... but why are you guys going out of your way for a stranger like me?" "Anon... You're not a stranger, you are a friend, plus don'tcha think it's cramped in here? at least a little?" "You got a point, Thanks Applejack, I appreciate it" "Anytime Anon, Call me AJ" Anon is about to shut the door when AJ is the one that stops him this time. "Just so ya know, Dash was the one to orchestrate this whole shindig" "Oh Okay cool I'll be sure to thank her by giving her competition in our next race since our last one was a bust Haha" Anon shuts the door then goes to get in that shower that he yearned for when he woke up Walking through Ponyville Anon notices that not many of it's residences were around, businesses were still open and ponies were running them but there was no one walking around like usual Anon gets on the street that leads somewhat away from the village. That's when ponies start to become visible "What's going on here??" Anon asks himself as a familiar red stallion trots and converges paths with his human friend "You'll see when we get there" replies Big Macintosh, a stallion with a voice that could do All-State commercials "So I suppose it's a surprise??" "Eeyup" Anon and Big Mac get to what used to be an old shed. Now it is a fully sized house that sorta resembles the shed, only bigger and it is surrounded by most of Ponyville's residents as well as the 6 friends you made when Anon got here. "Surprise!!!!" Everypony says in unison, Shock isn't even the word to describe what Anon is feeling right now, feeling all sorts of emotions Anon can only stand there mouth slightly ajar and struggling to speak the Mayor of Ponyville trots up to the human while his 6 friends approach as well "As Mayor of this town I humbly offer this beautiful house to you Anon. In the short time you've been here you have shown us hospitality in your actions and your words as you have helped the residents of Ponyville on your own time even when you weren't working." "But miss, I've only been here for about a week or so I don't think I deserve a whole house, I mean back where I come from-" "Just hold on Anon" Rainbow says as she flies to him "after work you carry groceries for earth ponies that bought too much, you stopped a swarm of bees that was gonna attack Zecora by doing that air blast thingy, Hoof! you even saved Scootaloo from crashing into a tree because she was going too fast down a hill" Twilight speaks up "Anon you helped me clean up the library when Spike and myself was too tired" Fluttershy steps forward "You watched all of my animal friends when I went to get medicine for Angel" She says in a soft yet sweet whisper "You know I do these things becau-" Anon was interrupted by Rarity "Because that's who you are, we all know this darling but you've helped just about everpony here, you helped me by pulling 5 carts full of gems I can use for new dress designs" "Yeah silly! You mean to tell me that when you taste tested my new baked goods that THAT wasn't helping?" Pinkie pie says while bouncing and stops in midair in front of Anon's face before falling slowly " Well, I mean they were pretty tasty" Applejack hits Anon's side her hoof "Anon, Granny Smith said ya gave her a piggyback ride back home after you were headin home yaself after you had got done workin for us, An when she turned around to thank ya you were already runnin back home" The Mayor speaks up "Not to mention that every time somepony wants to compensate you, you decline and always say that you were taught growing up to help others" Rainbow lands in front of Anon "You always help but never wanna be helped, don't let your ego stop others from helping you" Everyone stops to look at Rainbow Dash in surprise at what She just said... "Haha I guess no one expected you to say that" Anon says as he laughs light heartedly "I appreciate what everyone did for me I'm thankful to not only be here, but to have you guys as friends, jeez you guys make me so cheesy" he says as he laughs a little bit to cover the fact that his eyes are getting watery The Mayor clears her throat to catch Anon's attention "Ahem, anyway you have showed us that not only you aren't a threat, but you have showed us that we can rely on your assistance, we only ask that you allow us to help you when you also need it and help you feel at home here in Ponyville" The Mayor offers her hoof as a sign for a Hand/Hoof shake "This house is our Thank You and a Welcome to Ponyville gift" Anon shakes her hoof and smiles in gratitude "Thank you miss Mayor" He looks at everypony standing behind her. "Thank you Everyone!" The crowd cheers and a Canon goes off from behind Anon and confetti rains down on everyone while Pinkie jumps above everyone "ALRIGHT LET THE HOMECOMING PARTY COMMENCE!!!" Anon jumps up in excitement and exceeds Pinkie's height "Yeah!!!" Filling The Space"This place..... IT'S HUGE!!!!!" Anon bursts with excitement as he enters the abode. He walks over to the Living Room and sees a Island with a bar top that separates the Living Room from the Kitchen. "I know right! It's so awesome" Dash enters right behind Anon and accidentally bumps into a stopped Anon who is frozen staring at the Kitchen deep in thought. "Uhhhh, Anon... you okay?" Dash walks around Anon and hovers just a foot away from his face "Earth to Anon! Did you hard boil your noggin?" "There is so much space, I have more than enough rooms for all kinds of cool stuff. Can't believe I'm gonna be excited to go shopping, I'm not gonna get used to this haha" "Oh, so the house broke your brain, got it" Rainbow states flatly with a small grin. Out of nowhere Anon grabs Dash from the air and gives Rainbow a hug "Thank you for making this a possibility, I have so much freedom now thanks to you" Anon lets go a flushed Pegasus that catches herself in the air. "That's what super awesome friends are for you goof" She says bumping Anon in the shoulder with her hoof with some force. "Hey that was a strong hit, wanna spar after the shopping spree?" "Hmmm, sure, but only after our race, Hope you can land on your feet now" "You're on" "Well where to first?" "Let's start with the bedroom, It's not much of a 'Bed' room without a 'Bed" y'know?" Anon states factually, Rainbow nods and they both head to the door. "Hey! Let's race to the center of town, Loser buys coffee Tomorrow" Anon stated as they are now outside stretching "Fine with me, You ready to eat my dust?" Rainbow says excitedly as she gets in a position ready for takeoff Anon in response gets into a horse stance and places a fist on the ground while resting the other hand on a knee "Gear, Secondo!" a loud thud is heard then steam shoots out of his body "3...2.." "What in Equest-" "1!!" Anon takes off leaving behind him air and debris in the form of grass and dirt "SHIT!!!" Rainbow takes off shortly after. Both Anon and Rainbow are flying directly towards the the center of town Rainbow directly behind of Anon, as they are above the center of Ponyville Rainbow smoothly turns from flying straight to flying directly downward. Anon passes it up and is now flying past Ponyville. "Missed it!! I need to turn" Anon struggles at this new speed and throws a punch to change trajectory sharply. "C'MON!!" A blast of air comes from his fist and is now heading downward at an angle toward the center of Ponyville. "ANON! DON'T FORGET TO LAND!" Rainbow yells from the ground while chuckling to herself "Oh NO!" Rainbow ducks to the ground as Anon flies just over her and hits the ground hard "Ugh!! turning in mid air is DIFFICULT!" Anon says in frustration. "Man you have it rough on the flying department, reminds me of when I was a foal" Anon gets up and some cracks can be heard as he turns his head and grabs his shoulder " Yeah well I'm still new to the Flying thing eh.. " *Crack* "Hey after the furniture I'll help you get 'Direction' by giving you 'Directions'" "Are you sure you didn't major in Punology?" "I did in fact!" "In this world I believe it" Anon says as he looks at Rainbow "Also I think I'm done with mimicking my favorite anime characters" Rainbow cocks an eyebrow and looks at Anon with confusion "I guess that was when you said 'Fear yalondo' or somethin and blasted off unfairly?" She says huffing a little bit "Yeah, hey wait I said 1 and then went, That is NOT cheating" "But you didn't say GO after 1 did you?" "Oh we're playing this game aren't we?" Anon said flatly with a small smile "There goes my Free Coffee" ----------------------------------------------------------5 hours and moving a lot of furniture later---------------------------------------------------------- "A little more to the left" Anon jestures with a finger "Right there?" Rainbow asks pushing it further "Ahh too far, move it to the right a little more" "Okay but I'm not moving it anymore after this" "Oh yeah, right there is good" "Good! now I can relax" Rainbow says as she plops onto the couch with a Thud Anon walks over and sits on the chair at the corner of the couch and kicks his feet up on the coffee table "You desereve it, Now we need advertising for your new moving company. Two pegasus and a cloud" Anon lets out a hardy laugh "Whatever, anyway we still hanging out tomorrow?" Rainbow asks half assedly "Yeah why not, but I think I work tomorrow so It'll be after work around 4. If I'm fast I can get out early at 1" "Okay then, I'll see you at sugarcube corner at 2" Rainbow says as she gets up and walks to the door Anon gets up as well and follows her to the door "wait let me walk you home first" "Dude... I live in a cloud, not that I don't think you could keep up but I don't know if you can walk on clouds plus you should chill and get used to the house" Rainbow stated with a gentle yet firm tone "Good Point, It's habit to make sure that everyone is safe, if I couldn't take them home I'd ask for a text or a call but you guys don't have cell phones here except one" Anon pulls his cell phone out of his pocket and inspects it. "Don't worry Monkey Man I'll be fine, I'll see you tomorrow!!" Rainbow says as she takes off "OKAY!! I'LL SEE YOU LATER!!!!" Anon yells then shuts the door to his house. Walks upstairs opens the door to the bedroom, and looks at his bed with fond eyes. "Now the Bedroom is really a Bedroom" Anon says as he dolphin dives into the bed still wearing his short sleeve shirt and pants he wore all day and turned off the lamp at his bed side Living In One WorldApplejack trots over with a barrel filled with a mysterious liquid and sets it down with a little force jostling the nozzle on the side "Anon! C'mon over here for sec!!" Anon sets down the last two pales of apples for the day of labor he endured "Sure Thing!" Anon jogs over at a quick pace and stops in front of Applejack. Applejack takes a couple glasses with ice in them out from behind the barrel and fills both with a yellow like liquid "Have some Lemonade since ya worked ya petunia off" "Sweet! Thank you AJ, you know back in my world *sips Lemonade* There's a ceral named after you" Applejack almost spits out some of her lemonade in laughter "Oh Really? That is kinda funny, Probably why you chuckled after hearin ma name" "Can't lie, that is the reason" "Don't feel bad sugarcube, I can't lie either... quite literally, so where's the fire?" "I'm sorry?" "You seemed like ya'll were in a hurry to get this acre cleared before 4, an it's noon now, that's the fastest ah've ever seen anypony work" "Yeah I'm meeting with Rainbow later to hang out" Anon finishes the last of the Lemonade in the glass "Man that was some good Lemonade" Anon says as he places the glass on top of the barrel "Come to think of it, Rainbow has been acting really weird ever since ya showed on up here" Applejack smiles briefly "I"m thinkin she might like ya, or startin to at least" Anon shakes his head in denial of Applejacks words, "Nah, Idon't think that's it, Besides if she's acting a little differently it's because I'm new she's hanging out with me showing me around. Besides there's that whole difference between species thing" Applejack flinched "Excuse me? Species thing?" Anon notices the shift in tone and pauses for a moment to understand the current tension "wait... are you telling me that it's not taboo in this world?" Applejack set her glass down on top of the barrel "Are ya tellin me it is in yall's world?" Anon scratches his head "It uhhh, yeah it is..." "What in tarnati- "I should explain that most of the other beings we live with in my world don't have any comprehensive intelligence, relationships can't be a thing. It's kinda like if you were to ask me out but I can't say yes or no and I'm not of age to do so anyway and you took me out regardless. It's called bestiality there" Applejack shifts back to her normal tone and sits on the grass "Ah think I understand now. At least if you wanted you could have a love life here. After ya'll are comfortable anyway" Applejack equipped with new understanding get's up and gets her glass again "oh and I do owe ya an apology for snapping at ya, I didn't understand at first" Anon raises his hand in note "No need Applejack, I get it" Applejack pauses after filling her glass and looks at Anon "Wait, are ya sayin that you fell in love with a different speices before?" "Well no actually but for some reason I feel like I truly understand" In that moment an extreme pain shot through Anon's head "Ahh What the--" Visions flash in his head of him training in a meadow with a somber feeling in his heart. Anon drops to his knees and catches his breath "Anon! Are you okay??" Applejack is now next to Anon and has placed her hoof on his back to ensure that he knows someone is with him "Yeah I'm okay... just a headache" "That is one heckeva headache, ya want me to get big mac to take ya home?" Anon get's up swiftly but stumbeling in the process "nah, I'm good, besides ain't nothing a milkshake can't fix" remembering that he will soon hang out with possibly his closest friend here Applejack starts to head back in but not before she wishes him safe journey and speedy recovery. After Anon reassures Applejack he parts ways as well to head back home for a well needed shower. ----------------------------------------------------------------1 Hour Later------------------------------------------------ Anon locks his door turns around and checks his pocket watch "oh, it's only quarter after one, might as well do a little light training in the field next to sugarcube corner while I wait for Rainbow" Anon begins his jog into town, as he jogs he greets everyone with a smile and wave before getting to the backyard size field next to conor of sugary sweets. "Let's get some stretching in get these muscles loosened up" he says while starting with his legs "Still though, what was that earlier" his mind tries to make sense of his vision Just as Anon is finishing up his stretches he hears flapping of wings from behind him. He turns around to see no one. Turns back around and is face tot face with Rainbow Dash "Ahh!" Anon yelps as he puts up his defenses in reaction "Ahhh hahaha gotcha didn't I? haha" Rainbow laughs in mid air while holding her stomach "I'm gonna have fun with you come Nightmare Night" "Yeah well you only caught me off guard is all, you'll get your just desserts" Anon drops his hands from a guarding position and turns to head inside Sugarcube Corner and Rainbow lands and trots next to him "I'm too awesome to be scared of anything Anon" Both walked in the doors and sits down at a booth close to the windows "So what have you been up to" Anon starts the conversation with an exciting tone "Well I woke up, ate Breakfast, Then I spun my house around and took a nap" "haha you spun your house around?" "uh yeah by flying around it really fast" "you never cease to surprise me Rainbow" Pinkie Pie comes from around the counter to greet her friends "Hey Guys!!" "Hey Pinkie Pie" Said both in unison "So what brings you two to the tastiest sweet tooth booth to ever boop your nose?" Pinkie Pie boops both Anon and Rainbow on their noses with her hoof which cause them to chuckle "well I figured that I'd get to know this world a little better from Rainbow and I'll share a little of my world with her" Anon states clearly with a smile Rainbow shoots a look to Anon "You know you made that sound cheezy right? Do you write poetry or romance novels?" She says while chuckling a little Pinkie nudges Rainbow with her elbow "I think it's a little of both Hahaha" Both ponies burst into laughter as Anon's face turns bright red and he even chuckle softly. Pinkie now nudges Anon's arm "don't worry Anon, just joking witcha, so what do you have in mind for sweets you seem like a milkshake guy am I right?" Anon froze but soon recalls that Pinkie is the Random Energetic One "You know it, Strawberry please" "And the usual for me Thanks Pinkie Pie" "Okie dokie lowkie coming right up" Pinkie disappears leaving a smoke after image like a cartoon Anon chuckles a little bit and shakes his head "Sometimes I think this place is like a dream" Rainbow tilts her head in confusion "So you don't think this place is real?" Anon shakes his head again "No not like that it's just there seems to be more good here than bad, you see, in my world it's sorta the opposite" Rainbow nods in understanding "So there's more bad than good in your world huh, Then why try to go back?" "Well my Family and Friends are there and I don't wanna worry them sick. Earth is actually a really beautiful place even with the bad. I've made plenty of memories there. Speaking of memories I had a vision of what seemed to be like a memory earlier" "Were you asleep?" "No I was awake, it happened and it took the breath out of me but I'm good" Rainbow tensed for a moment but relaxed after Anon reassured his safety "That's good, but what was this vision memory thing about anyway" "Well the memory was indeed a memory because the events have happened but the weird thing was the feeling I felt IN the memory" "What was the feeling?" Rainbow leaned toward Anon in anticipation "The feeling was that of loss, like losing a loved one, that's strange becomes if I'm ever training sometimes I feel like something is missing rather than lost" Rainbow leans backward into her seat and ponders what Anon told her "... Maybe your world is trying to pull you back, but then you mentioned that there isn't any magic there" Both Anon and Rainbow discuss theory after theory until "AAAND One usual Chocolate and Vanilla swirl in a bowl with a side of Peaches and Cream MilkShake for the Awesome Flyer AAAnd One Strawberry Milkshake for the romantic poet haha have fun you two" Pinkie saysas she darts to another customer that had just walked in "Well anyway no need to dwell into it now lets enjoy the treats" Anon says when he takes a sip, eyes widen "Oh.. ma.....Gawd" Anon looks at his milkshake in disbelief "This milkshake could end all wars in my world haha" "Ha! really? Try this" Rainbow with the tip of her wing takes a teaspoons worth of ice cream of puts it on Anon's nose surprising him "Keep racking up your bill Ms Dash" Anon says squinting at his rival, he then uses his finger to get the ice cream for a taste test "Whoa, you know it's strange how even the same things that you guys have here are WAY better quality then back home" "Point one for Equestria" "Hey let's not make this a competition... but you can have this one" Anon takes another drink "Anyway you wanna explain Why you love flying so much?" Rainbow sips on her milkshake before starting "Well, to compact all the awesomeness into a shorter story, I defended Fluttershy's honor by racing her bullies"... Rainbow Dash proceeds to tell Anon about the entire story without missing a single detail regardless of of how short or long she thought the story was "Wow so it seems to me that you have the mark of a true hero, standing up for your friend like that" Rainbow smiles at this "Not trying to boost an already large ego Dash haha" Anon takes the last sip of his milkshake he was the last to do so and begins stand up, but as he leans forward to get up his necklace hits the milkshake glass catching Rainbow's attention "Where you going?" Rainbow says as she starts to finish her drink in a quick fashion. Anon puts 6 or 7 bits on the table as payment and tip and begins to jog out the door "And here I thought you were the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" Anon softly shouts to egg on Rainbow "Oh I'll show you fastest flyer all right!" Rainbow responds in earnest before finishing off her ice cream and chases Anon out the door leaving behind a Rainbow Trail as usual but what's unusual is the sparkling effect of the trail Pinkie Pie walks to the now empty table and looks at the bits "Anon tips really well" She says to herself as she retrieves the payment and continues working Learning Another WorldRainbow is in hot pursuit of her Instigater, as soon as Anon steps outside Sugerube Corner he blasts off into the sky in the direction of his house. He looks behind him to see a Rainbow hot on his tail "Shit She's gaining on me!" Anon flips over a small cloud and bends his knees "Hope this works!" Anon successfully jumps off the cloud in the same direction this time with greater speed Rainbow in mid air has a look of surprise on her face "Wait did he just?" Rainbow picks up her pace and sees Anon nearing the ground and crashes in the field he entered the world from next to the lake Anon gets up with a hand on his neck and a disgruntled look "Landings! jeez how are they that DIFFICULT!" he looks behind him in the sky but see's no Rainbow Dash "Huh I guess she really isn't faster than..." He looks straightforward and catches a brief rainbow trail and is tackled to the ground "Meh! ugh!" Spinning on the ground for a second both land and Anon is on his back now with Rainbow standing overtop, She leans her face close to his, Anon blushes "Don't call me slow if you know what's good for ya" Anon can only let out a nervous laugh and Anon tries to get up but feels a hoof on his chest gently pushing him back down. Rainbow spreads her wings and raises them high "heh Dash? What are you-" "This is True Speed" With immense power one flap of her wings sends her high into the air at Sonic Speeds and Anon is left speechless as he stares in the wide open sky. Rainbow is now flying straight toward him and he sees a cone form around her body. "Is she about to break the sound barrier??" *BOOM* A blast of immense proportion and color envoloped the entire sky, a circular rainbow pattern emanated where she was. She starts slowing her decent and right before landing in front of Anon preforms a backflip and touches down softly "And that is speed, Any Questions?" Rainbow with half lidded eyes and a devious smirk looks at Anon who is still comprehending what he witnessed "So many, That was amazing and it shook the ground too!" Rainbow looks at the sky at the clouds moving away from the explosion and at the ground "Huh" "Is something wrong Rainbow?" Anon asks a little concerned "Well that Sonic Rainboom was way more powerful than ever before..." Anon and Rainbow sits down properly next to each other gazing at the lake "I knew you were fast but I didn't know you were THAT fast, that's cool as hell" Rainbow laughs in earnest of her complement "Thanks for the ego boost, and for realizing i'm faster heh" Rainbow takes a deep breath "So anyway, tell me more about yourself starting with the Dog Whistle" she says as she points at the necklace Anon looks down at his necklace and exhales an exasperated sigh and small chuckle "Even in this world? I guess it does look like one" "So it's not I take it" "It's not, it's actually the staff of The Monkey King" Anon takes off the necklace and hands it to Rainbow "Wait so you're a King?" Anon puffs his chest and looks at her with a smirky expression " why of course I am can't ya tell?" Rainbow bumps Anon with her shoulder into his while laughing "Okay so you're not a Monkey King" "Not a, The, There can only be one, haha well I am only in mindset I dont think I actually am, Sun Wukong is his name and he is my favorite mythos and quite possibly the most powerful non omnipotent character in fiction" "Say what now? Mythos? What is that?" Rainbow looks at Anon in confusion Anon takes a moment to take in a deep breath and exhales "oh we're gonna be here for a while, you sure you wanna know more about my interests?" " psshhh c'mon Anon I'm invested in hearing about the stuff in your world, sounds fun" "Alright then, here we go..." A couple hours have passed as Anon tells Rainbow all about The Journey to the West and the influence it had on the modern media as well as the anime it inspired and what that is. Rainbow listened very intently and was intrigued by how similar the media between their worlds were similar as well, what with Daring Do being basically Indiana Jones but pony version. More and more topics came up and a couple more hours later they were comparing the differences between the two worlds such as Magic and Technology. At one point the two were joking about AppleJack having the same name as a famous Cereal. They were so involved in each other's world that they didn't even realize the sun had been setting and it was getting dark... The Fall"Man we lost track of time" Anon says, gaze shifting from the lake to the now appearing stars in the twilight sky. "Yeah we sure did" The only sound heard was the distant chirps of grasshoppers and a bat here and there. Fireflies are starting to appear and illuminate the edge of the water. The moon shining a tad bit brighter than usual and full with only a few clouds scattered throughout the sky. Sun has set and the light of the cosmos provides a dim visability to the surrounding beauty that is this world. "Rainbow Dash. I wanna see if I can get on a cloud, you mind helping me out?" "Anon. You didn't even need to ask, I got your back" Rainbow says with a challenging grin, a look that Anon replicates in earnest Both parties stand up in unison and Rainbow points to a cloud way up there in the sky, not the highest cloud by far but the cloud with the most fluff to hold two beings. Anon without saying a word of warning jumps and flies through the sky only focusing on the cloud. Rainbow takes off but soars right past Anon and gets on the cloud before him. Spreading his arms and legs slightly to slow his ascent Anon doesn't make it to his destination and stops jus about 2 feet away. A hoof emerges from over the edge of the cloud and Anon instinctively grabs the appendage. "Ugh C'mon big guy! hop up here!" Rainbow expresses while pulling up her friend, he grabs the edge of the cloud and his hand doesn't go through, Anon smiles at this "Yes!" He pulled himself up and now Anon is sitting on a cloud. He checked out the cloud they were on and noted that the cloud was about the size of a queen size bed and way softer than any other bed before. "Wow Rainbow I can see why you like to nap on clouds so much, I gotta try it out myself onetime" "Yeah cuz you're missing out, remember napping is necessary to being the fastest" Rainbow states as if she were a teacher Anon scoots away from the edge and leans on his hands backwards gazing out at the view he hadn't noticed before. The mountains ahead are in greater detail now that there aren't any hills obstructing the view. There is a river flowing down the mountain off to the right side and the moon is hovering over the second mountain over to the left of the amazing spectacle. Rainbow opts to sit on the edge of the cloud and with back and wings toward Anon obstructing his view with her Cyan frame "Hey... Why do you train so hard?" Rainbow asks glancing backwards at Anon for a moment only to return her gaze to the mountains "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" "Try me" "No seriously if I were to tell you, you would think I'm crazy, like everyone else does..." Rainbow turns her head back at Anon with a serious expression "Listen, I'm not 'everyone else' and besides I already think you're crazy" She turns her head back at the scenery before speaking again "So try me" Anon felt a spark inside of him making him feel a little warm on the inside, a feeling just as foreign to him as he was to this world "Well, I want to show everyone that anything is possible even if it literally isn't, it's a crazy notion but in order for me to do that I have to do something so crazy that it would be impossible to comprehend" Anon stops to take a deep breath in before starting again "I have to Break Infinity" Rainbow chuckles slightly before turning her body sideways to offer more of her frame to the conversation "Infinity? isn't that the thing with like, no limits, plus it's only a concept right?" Anon shakes his head and looks at the cloud picking at it "Yeah, like I said, it's crazy" Rainbow looks at Anon for a moment and turns her body back to her original position "if it was anypony else , yeah they would definitely think you're crazy" She chuckles for a brief second "But not this pony" Rainbow turns her head to Anon "we're kinda alike, trying to do impossible things, but I truly believe that if anyone is as awesome as me and can do anything they believe they can, then they will" Anon looks deep into Rainbow's eyes "are you saying that you believe me" Rainbow remains locked in eye contact "I'm not just saying I believe you, I believe IN you Anon" In this moment... Time seemed to stop. His eyes widened and all he could see was her. Nothing but her. His Heart was missing every other beat. And when his Heart did beat it was almost audible outside his chest. He fell. hopelessly and effortlessly just like the day he fell into this unknown world and she caught him, this time it was her that made him fall in every sense except literally. He noticed everything about her. The way the light traced her colorful mane, her sky-blue coat looks as soft as a cloud and as calm as the sky, The sparkle in her Magenta eyes magnetizes his gaze upon them. He's never been so certain about anything before. Rainbow Dash is the One. Always has been. Always will be. "Oh my god" Anon said in raspy whisper almost choking on his own words Rainbow looks at Anon with confusion "what's wrong? Do I have something on my face?" she says before brushing her face with a hoof "No it's not you Rainbow, actually... It's getting pretty late I think we should get home" Anon scratches the back of his head and forces a small chuckle "guess what though?" "What?" "I can fly with you to your front door, considering that I can walk on clouds and all" "Shoot okay let's go big guy!" Rainbow hops up and spreads her wings getting ready for take off "Alright let's go" They both take off to the sky toward Dash's house in the sky and it doesn't take long to get there. They both land right in front of Dash's front door. Anon looks up at the sky fortress and marvels at the sheer scale "Oh my--" "God?" Rainbow cuts him off "That's the second time now" Rainbow smirks a little "Pretty big huh" "That's what she said haha but yeah. Does it ever get well..." "Lonely?" Rainbow and Anon look at each other for a second "Until I realize how Awesome I am, it does feel empty at times" Rainbow opens the front door to reveal a turtle patiently waiting by the front door "And that's why I have Tank haha" "You know, even being prepared to see your pet because we talked about him earlier, still doesn't really prepare me to see a turtle in the sky but he is still Awesome. Just like you" Rainbow chuckles a little bit "hahah Thanks Anon, say you wanna hang out again next off day" Anon perks up almost immediately "Yes! of course! oh and one more thing" Anon bends to one knee in front of Rainbow Dash and hugs her much to her surprise "Thank you for believing in a crazy person like me" Rainbow submits into the hug and rubs Anon's back with a hoof "And I won't stop believing either, so when you do Break Infinity I wanna be there to see the show" Anon pulls her away back arms length "You front row seats AND a backstage pass" Skyborn WarriorAnon puts down the bucket of apples and wipes the sweat off his brow with an arm "This should be the last one for today AJ phew!" Applejack nods "As always thank ya very much Anon and here's your pay" she takes her hat off and pulls out a sack of gold coins as payment for the week and gives it to Anon Almost immediately after the sack hits Anon's hands he notices that the sack is a little heavier than usual. Anon opens the sack to reveal quite more than the usual amount of bits "Hey AJ I think you gave me too much money" Applejack shakes her head while putting her hat back on "Nah that's a bonus since with yall's help we've been able to fill more orders and grabin more customers in the proccess, consider it a thank you for you bustin ya tail" Anon smiles and kneels down to hug Applejack in thanks of her appreciation. Then he turns to go to his house to prepare for the rest of the day "Thanks again AJ!! I'll see ya!" "Enjoy your weekend Anon!" Applejack yells as she waves then returns to her abode Anon begins jogging toward his house just outside of Ponyville when he notices a certain colorful Pegasus flying right next to him. As soon as he realizes that it's Rainbow Dash he trips and tumbles onto the ground With a hearty laugh from Rainbow she helps Anon up after he starts laughing himself "Wow you don't even know how to land when you're already grounded!" "You just startled me is all jeez what are you doing stalking me anyway?" Anon chuckles but can feel his pulse increase in speed "Well I was wondering if you wanted to go for a fly maybe spar a little if you don't mind showing me some 'Kung Fu' moves of yours" "Right Kung Fu moves huh" Anon says in a whisper while turning his head to hide a blush "Yeah that's cool, just give me like an hour and I'll meet you at the Field where I usually train" "You mean where I usually train but I get ya, I can just wait in your living room until you're finished getting ready" Rainbow lands next to Anon as they both start walking towards his house With each step in awkward silence Anon's heart was beating faster and faster 'Wait did she just say she'll wait in the living room, calm down calm down, she's been in your place before, Hell she's the one that helped put the freaking place in order, it's gonna be alright' Anon puts a hand on his chest and begins slowing down his heart beat but failing when Rainbow notices this "Uh Anon, you okay?" "Yeah I'm okay, just catching my breath anyway yeah you can just wait in the living room" After reaching Anon's house they both enter and Rainbow sits on the couch in the living room to wait for Anon to get done changing upstairs. After getting undressed the redressed with his training outfit on, he sits on his bed and thinks to himself 'After that night, every single time I hang out with her my mind goes crazy, today is the day. I gotta know right? or should I wait...' "hmmm" Anon gets up and starts to head downstairs 'I'll cross that bridge when I get there' Anon gets downstairs and collects Rainbow and heads out the door "wanna race there?" Rainbow with a smile looks at Anon with a look of determination "Of course I'm always down for a race, prepare to eat my dust Anon" she gets into a ready stance prepared to take off any minute Anon matches her determination with a glance of his own and takes his stance "Three. Two...-" "ONE!" Rainbow pushes off the ground with extreme force right before Anon rushes into the sky in hot pursuit. In the sky they seem to be neck and neck until they both spot the field they need to arrive at. Just like that Rainbow Dash pushes the limit of the air around her forming a familiar cone then *BOOOOM* an explosion of color speeds off in every direction. Anon is behind her even further now. Rainbow arrives and lands first and then shortly after, Anon lands, properly this time "Hey you're actually getting better landing, yo've been practicing haven't you" "A little but wow you have got some speed Dash, you remind me of a comic book hero. The Flash" "Yeah but I bet I'm faster than that pony" "haha Rainbow he's a human like me but I'm sure you can be" Both Anon and Dash sit down on the hill just off to the side of the familiar lake "Hey you are very awesome you know that" Rainbow said after taking in a breath of fresh air "Wow that isn't something you hear everyday especially from the awesomest around" Anon looks at Rainbow Dash with a bit of confusion "Scootaloo" "Ah so she's told you about the training" Rainbow looks at Anon with a smile "Yeah she has..." Rainbow clearly holding in some laughter "Sensei" then Dash chuckles but light heartedly "Hey I figured this could be my shot to make it to bruce lee's level you know!" as Anon chuckles with Rainbow "But for real that is pretty cool Anon" "Hey if you want I can give you a crash course on using your energy properly, I've been thinking about your Sonic Rainboom here lately and here's my idea... ---------------------------------------------A couple hours later--------------------------------------------- Crashing could be felt on the ground with what is happening in the air above it. Clouds are breaking apart from the sheer force of the impact. Rainbow throws a spinning hoof kick towards Anon's side. Anon blocks the kick his forearm and smiles while throwing her away from him into a cloud. Anon flies straight toward his target. Rainbow quickly changes the composition of the cloud that caught her into that of a storm cloud. She puts it in front of her and punches the cloud and a lightning bolt shoots out of it. The lightning bolt hits Anon and he falls towards the ground. he realizes what happened and spins to land on his butt instead of his head Rainbow rushes to Anon wearing shock and worry as expressions on her face "OH MY GOSH! Anon are you okay??" Anon looks at her with a small smile and chuckles a bit before answering her "Don't worry, I'm cool. not the first time I've been struck by lightning" 'Guess you could say not the first time I've been love struck either' Anon laughs out loud at his own joke in his head Rainbow lets out a sigh of relief then hovers in front of Anon "sooo, you wanna keep going or should we call it quits for today" He shakes his head "Nah we still have plenty of daylight left plus you're really close to battle prep your new ability, I think you should try it now, if you get it... I'll treat you this Sunday with your favorite restaurant" Anon flinching at his own words 'I wish I worded that differently' Rainbow smirks "I won't fail then, free food, hanging out with an awesome Human, sounds like a great day to me!" Dash shoots into the sky, Anon jumps into the sky and grabs a cloud to sit on and watches Rainbow as she picks up speed Dash flies straight toward a cloud to practice a series of punches and kicks before flying to Anon "I'm ready, you ready?" "Yup" Anon stands on the cloud and gets into a serious stance and closes his eyes for a moment to focus and then opens his eyes along with his hands as if to catch something "Okay then" Rainbow hovers just a few feet away from Anon facing away from him. She closes her eyes and focuses. "Remember what Anon taught me, focus my energy like I did with that cloud..." She opens her eyes and a cone of air forms around her hoof and forearm without even moving it. She cocks her hoof back and prepares to punch. Her hoof is shaking now and the cone is getting wrapped tightly around her hoof "Release that power once you're ready!" Anon yells over the gusts of wind emitting from Dash "Okay here we go, AHHHHH!!!!" *Boooom* Rainbow throws the punch and an explosion of color bursts out of her hoof. The shockwave from her own attack sent her flying backward at great speeds, However, Anon was behind her to catch her. Anon successfully caught her but the force of her hitting him knocked both of them down on the cloud they were on "Hey are you okay Rainbow?" Rainbow shifts herself, gets up and is now standing above Anon looking at him from an awkward angle making him blush a very deep red "Yeah I'm okay, a little shook in up but I'm alright" Rainbow notices how red and flustered Anon is and chuckles a little "I should be asking if you're okay, I did just smash into you back there" She says with a confident smirk "Uhh" Is all that Anon could mutter. Before long he mustered up his courage to return to normal somewhat and gets up "Yeah I'm good" he says as he brushes his clothes off from any dust that might've been attached "You did fantastic Dash and before long you'll be more powerful than even me haha" Anon attempting to put back together his confidence "Well with how red your face was I think I'm already there" Rainbow states in a murmur Anon not hearing his Pegasus friend turns to look at the ground from the cloud they were on "Alright let's go grab some burgers or something then head home to rest up, I always love a good meal after training" Anon gestures Rainbow to come with him then they both jump off the cloud and land onto the ground "Anon..." Rainbow says "Yeah?" Anon turns to face Dash "You are almost as awesome as I am so I was curious" Rainbow looks away for a moment to hide a blush "What are your thoughts on... Love?" Just as the last word left Rainbow's voice his heart picked up speed. Anon had no idea how to react, he froze. 'Wait wait wait, is she seriously asking ME? Does.... does that mean she likes me? has to be. this might be it. The moment I've been waiting for. LET'S GO!' Anon gathers his composure and walks toward Rainbow "Love is power in every sense of the word, It can definitely make the impossible things possible and with it, no one is more awesome then someone who has a never-ending supply of it from someone else" Anon kneels in front of Rainbow Dash and nudges her shoulder with a fist "Why you ask? Like somebody? Hmmm?" Anon asks in a jokingly way Rainbow looks up at Anon who has an encouraging smile "Well actually yeah, it's ----" "Good Evening guys" a mysterious light blue male pegasus walks up from behind Anon and catches the attention of both of them "Hello sir, Who are you?" Anon asks slightly exasperated Rainbow jumps up and down and look at Anon with a surprised expression "You don't know?? I've told you bout the Wonderbolts! That's Soarin!" Anon besting his inner irritation composes a gentle smile and extends a hand to Soarin "Nice to meet you I'm Anon" "Hello sir, I'm here for Rainbow Dash" Soarin says as he finishes the hand/hoof shake and turns to face Rainbow "Hey remember when you preformed the Sonic Rainboom and saved your friend Rarity?" "Of course I do!" Rainbow excitedly projects "You were amazing back then as you were just a moment ago..." Soarin hesitated "I have something important to tell you" Anon's heart sank a little bit in antispation at what response Rainbow was gonna give and how "Yes??" She says with excitement and happiness 'Okay he is part of the Wonderbolts and it's kinda her dream to be one of them maybe it's an invitation' Anon hopes Soarin looks at Anon then back at Dash "I kinda want it to be just us" Rainbow Dash looked a little confused but in the midst of her excitement jokingly chuckled "Okay? When" "I was thinking this Sunday, We'll grab some coffee early morning" Soarin say as he smiles at her then turns to walk away "see you guys!" "Oh. my. Gosh! I can't believe that just happened" Rainbow turns to see Anon walking away "Hey where are you going?" "Home" "I thought you like a good meal after training?" Rainbow asks confused "Love. I love a good meal after training" Anon says deadpan. He then turns around while still walking backwards, giving Rainbow Dash a fake smile "I'm just not hungry anymore, don't worry I'm cool. See Ya!" Anon turns and without waiting for a response blasts into the sky forcefully towards his house Rainbow Dash hesitates to chase after him "What the?" Rainbow shocked at the sudden change in Anon's character left her frozen "What happened?" Unknown F̵͈̹̙̹͈͍̩̬̀̃̌̚e̸̤̱̣̜̹̾̌̎̀̍͘̚ẳ̵̠̗̂̒̚͠ř̴̢̬͈̞̄̚͘Anon tosses and turns in his bed in the middle of the night. He gets up and sits up right at the edge of the bed. He looks over at the window then decides to relocate to the kitchen for a drink of water. As he goes down the stairs he can feel his heart sink with every step "Maybe I overreacted a bit. It is entirely possible that he just wanted to talk to her about becoming a WonderBolt... ugh!" Anon grab a bottle of water from the refrigerator and takes a step outside on his porch and looks up at the clear night sky "This is crazy I've been here for awhile now and I'm living relatively well. I have my own house which I didn't even have in my own world. I have these cool as hell abilities that you would swear came out of a comic book, hell, I'm even living my superhero dreams by saving peop-- err, ponies" Anon shakes his head, his gaze wonders to the lights coming off of ponyville a little bit away "I guess the only thing I'm really missing here is someone to share all this with" Anon looks around even though he knows he has no neighbors to hear him "Man... Falling in love with a Pony is new to me, I mean... I am the ONLY human here. am I not allowed to love even though it's taboo where I'm from? How will my Family and Friends react? Should I even tell them? Will I ever see them again?" Anon chugs the entire water bottle and throws it on his porch landing near the front door "You know, it doesn't matter, I love her and I have to let you know this regardless if whether or not she feels the same way" Anon smiles through the pain in his chest "If I don't ever try then I'll be living in the state of 'What if' for the rest of my life, and I'm not having any of that" Anon turns around and heads inside, locks the door and heads to his bed upstairs The instant his head hit the pillow he immediately felt a throbbing pain in his head. despite this he was able to overcome the pain and fall into a mild slumber... Y̸̟͔̻̊̀́O̸̜̓͗̓́̾Ȕ̷̠̝̳͋̈́͜͝ Anon finds himself standing in the middle of a beautiful field, bustling with flowers and trees. then all of a sudden it switches from a gorgeous view to that of a baron one. The once emanating meadow now scorched, patches of fire strewn about the desolate landscape. A figure approaches, IT mirrors that of a human, however covered in shadow. Any distinct features were impossible to spot, almost as if this very being was comprised of void Ņ̴̺̼̹͒̀̔̍͝Ë̸͔́̄͗̈́ͅE̵̖̱̊̔D̵̜̄ ̵̟͎͙̫͒́̕̕Ť̵̙̖̚͝ͅÖ̴̺͈̠̯͍́ "Who are you?" L̶̥̰̪̠͚̐̔̀͝Ë̵̛͇͖̤́̓̀Ą̶̧͖͐V̷̙̔̚É̵ͅ "Wait What??" Anon awakens in a cold sweat, the rays of sun hits his eyes hard "Ah! Morning already??" The pain from his headache has been subsided but not without confusion "What was that and what did it mean that I had to leave? must've been just a nightmare. nevertheless I have to be ready to face any threat and protect everyone just in case" He jolts up and grabs his training outfit and slaps it on in a hurry "Looks like it's double the training today!" Unexpected ExpectationsSunday finally arrives much to Anon's dismay. All morning was pacing back and forth, trying to get his mind together for the foreseeable future. "It's about 9:30 or so and I think Dash should be with Soarin now getting coffee... no doubt at Sugarcube Corner" An uneasy feeling began to fill Anon's heart, He knew what was the cause of this feeling but didn't want to accept it. Anticipation "Alright settle down man, you know that she'll tell you about it later anyway" Anon smiles to himself "After all, I'm the one taking her to dinner" Looking at the front door Anon grabs his Phone, Wallet, and Keys and heads toward the door "I'll just go for a walk to clear my head and if they aren't there I'll go grab myself some coffee" Anon opens his door, closes it behind him, locks it and heads off on his walk around town After awhile, walking around saying hi to the locals and taking a break walking to sit down at the fountain smack dab in the middle of Ponyville, Anon started to wonder around town again. Anon's mind went blank as he moved, almost as if on autopilot, His legs moving on their own brought him to a familiar location, he stopped in front of Sugarcube Corner Anon scans the windows to see anyone there and to his surprise finds the place at an empty state. He checks to see if the door is locked, It opens, surprised still Anon walks in "Hello?" "HELLO!" Says a bright cheery voice from behind the counter catching Anon off guard "You startled me back there hah" Anon places a hand on his chest, he walks toward his pink friend "Sorry bout that Nonny, to be fair you startled me too" "I did? well that is un-" "Unexpected? I KNOW! but also I was talking to you" "Me?" "No" Pinkie Pie gestures around her "You" Wait... Pinkie Pie... you talking to me? "Yes you" ... 4th wall breaking is strange in stories... catches the writer off guard too Anon looks around confused and shakes his head to regain composure "Anyway Pinkie, why is it so dead in here?" Pinkie perked up "OH! This place got reserved in the morning for two. Said something about a very important conversation so it was only them" "Rainbow Dash?" Anon asked plainly "Yeah Actually!! How'd ya know!?" "Intuition" Anon turns and leaves the establishment without getting his coffee and begins to walk home Anon walks home. His thoughts have become static. He sees his house in the small clearing away from Ponyville "At least I still have tonight" Anon stops walking and shakes his head and pats his face "C'mon man! Pull yourself together! You have tonight to tell Rainbow how you feel about her" Anon says with a forced smile and he enters his house In the few hours that have past, Anon took a cat nap, read a few pages of Daring Do, did some light shadow boxing, and took a shower to freshen up for Dash tonight "Alright!" Anon checks himself out in the mirror "Dressed nice-casual style, looking good" Anon clears his throat "Ahem Sound good" Lifts one of his arms to get a whiff *Sniff* "Smell good too I think I'm all set for this fateful night!" Anon slaps his forehead "I better not be this corny when the time comes" Anon grabs his wallet, phone and keys and heads out the door. Anon looks at the sky noticing that the sun is close to setting which is perfect dinner time "I'll fly by her house and get her then we'll go" he says as he blasts off into the sky toward Dash's Sky Mansion which is located on the other side of Ponyville He spots her house and lands on the part of the cloud that would be considered the lawn area of the abode, however lands on his back "Jeez man!" he gets up and brushes himself for possible wrinkles "Landing on a cloud is something else, don't know how I did it last time" Finally noticing where he is, Anon perks up and his heart begins to beat faster. He walks up to the door and knocks on it, which to his surprise actually feels like a wooden door somehow "What the..." He feels the door just incase he was losing it and yeah it actually felt like a wooden door "Right. I'm in a world full of magical ponies. Key word. Magic" Waiting for an answer to the knocking of the door Anon grows restless "Rainbow!! You in there!?" He yells in hopes for a response yet to no avail "Where could she be right now?" he asks himself. Anon paces back and forth until an idea came to him "Well she could be at our spot" Without hesitation Anon jumps off the Sky Castle and lands on another cloud, then uses that cloud to blast off with. Flying in the direction of the field he lands a couple hundred feet from the lake and begins to walk from there As Anon walks closer he sees Dash and Soarin hovering in the air talking about something but couldn't make out what they were saying from the distance. Anon gets closer until both of them notice his presence approaching, at which point they drop their conversation "Oh Hey Anon!" "Hey Dash, Sup Soarin" "Good evening Anon" Anon lets the awkward silence take hold for a moment before speaking up "So Rainbow did you forget about tonight?" He asks flatly Sudden realization hit Rainbow "OH SHOOT! Sorry Anon I lost track of time" She turns to Soarin and gives him a hoof bump "Soarin I have to go, got plans" Witnessing Rainbow Dash dropping a Wonderbolt so quickly took Anon by surprise and caused his stomach to jump a little "Hope you're hungry, cuz I know I am" Anon says realizing that he didn't eat anything all day "You bet I am, worked up quite the appetite" Rainbow waves at Soarin who waves back "Have a good night you two!" Soarin says as he takes to the sky in the direction of what look like Canterlot Rainbow is walking next to Anon who isn't saying too much "Soooo how about we go to that hayburger place, I hear they have really good pasta too" "Sounds good to me, so what have you guys been up to all day today" Rainbow blushes a bit and turns her head away "It's kinda a secret" she turns back and looks at Anon with a robust smile "But don't worry you'll find out soon enough" They arrive at the restaurant where they enter and promptly sit down and wait for a waiter or waitress to take orders. Soon enough orders were placed Rainbow having a Hayburger with sweet potato fries on the side with Cider as the beverage and Pasta with Alfredo sauce, a fruit salad as well as Cider for her Human companion "So tell me about your day" Anon asks fearing the response "Well first I gotta tell you a little secret" Rainbow gestures Anon to come closer "Just between you and me, I'm next in line to get interviewed to become a Wonderbolt" She whispers a little loudly trying to contain her excitement Anon leans back and puts a hand on his chest and exhales a large amount of air "Oh what a relief" "Relief?" "Oh nothing I'm really excited for you Dash, so was that the secret you couldn't tell me before?" "That's not the secret" Rainbow looks at Anon with a stern expression "But you better keep what I just told you a secret, I wanna surprise the others when I get into the Wonderbolts" Anon chuckles a little "My lips are sealed" He gestures zipping his mouth shut As the night goes on Anon and Rainbow continue discussing the events of the day minus some parts that Rainbow wanted to keep hidden which much to Anon's dismay respected anyway. They finished eating and as promised Anon paid for dinner and tipped really well per usual and they left Walking toward Rainbow's Sky Tower Dash was the first to break the silence "You know next time dinner will be on me" "Alright I'll hold you to that" Anon states with a smile as both of them approach the Cloud House floating above them "Hey Anon, I wanna hang out with you next Saturday, there's something really important I wanna talk to you about" "You don't wanna tell me now?" Anon asks with confusion in his voice Rainbow smiles and shakes her head "It's late at night goofball, plus I need to prepare first" "Prepare??" Confusion overtakes Anon Rainbow chuckles and hovers in front of Anon and places a hoof on his shoulder and looks into his eyes with half lidded ones. This only lasts for a second before she takes off toward her house "You'll see soon enough!!!" She yells as she gets further from Anon and closer to her house Anon looks up for a moment and turns to walk back toward Ponyville in the direction of his house "There was something I also wanted to tell you but I guess it'll have to wait... man that girl loves cliffhangers" Unknown DreamStanding in front of Anon is the Mysterious Humanoid made of Void. They face each other for a moment before the Voided figure begins walking towards Anon D̴͔̔i̶͇̾s̶̖̎s̴̳͂ő̶̜n̶͚͑a̵̺̓n̴̨͝c̶̛̳e̴̬͠ The Voided figure stops in front of Anon B̸e̴t̵w̵e̸e̸n̶ ̴H̶e̵a̴r̵t̴ ̴A̷n̸d̴ ̷S̷o̶u̵l̴ "You're hell bent on me getting back home, why the sudden interest now" Anon stares blankly into the voided creature "Because I truly understand" The voided figure speaks clearly suddenly and stares blankly back at Anon A door appears behind the figure and opens to reveal a familiar looking Tree in the clearing "Home..." Anon notices and recognizes that this is the place of his origin, this is earth, this is home ".... It's awaiting you" The voided figure gestures toward the door Anon looks at the door and the only thing going through his head is what he would be leaving behind... Who he would be leaving behind "Hey... whoever you are, let me at least say goodbye..." The voided being looks down for a moment as if to contemplate a memory and returns to correct posture "You may... Please however be hasty... there's little time left..." The hazy dream state was immediately replaced with that of the living room and Anon finding himself to be standing up already. Anon realized that this was much more than a dream and some supernatural entity was trying to guide him back home of origin Anon sits on the couch with an intense surreal feeling overflowing his mind "I don't want to leave, but I think I've been gone for far too long..." Anon gets up and walks slowly to the door not opting to grab any of his belongings, leaving his phone, wallet and keys in the house He opens the door and leaves it wide open as he treads slowly to a small clearing next to his house "Where would I find a Rainbow?" He asks himself as he looks directly at the clouds in the somewhat clear sky "I'll try our usual spot maybe she's there..." Anon begins to walk in that direction, enjoying the fresh air and taking in the sites of this world as if it were his last Ineffable LoveThere she is, on top of the familiar hill sitting next to the Tree. Lots of fond memories were made in this short time. It felt like forever ago when Anon first came to this world hoping one day he will return home. That day has finally come, but he has made family out of the friends he made here and now... he isn't ready to leave his new home... doubt he ever will Anon walks slowly up the hill, the grass crunching beneath his feet giving away his position and arrives behind Rainbow Dash "Rainbow... Can we talk for a moment?" "Oh! Anon! I uhh... Yeah" Rainbow blushes as she turns her head a little to hide it "Sorry I reacted like that" Anon seats next to Rainbow looking out over the huge field next to the familiar lake and the mountains off into the distance, taking in the view as much as he can "It's alright Dash, I am all to familiar with reactions similar to yours, I've never been good with the ladies y'know" "Wait what??" Dash turns her head to look Anon in the eyes with a look of confusion "Yeah I'm not what you would call a stud in my world, I wanted to tell you the moment I felt it in my heart, but I've literally never felt this way before... to describe what I feel for you would be --" "Impossible" Rainbow cuts Anon off There was a silence. "Yeah... Impossible" "Except, all things are possible, you taught me that" "You taught me the same thing, accidentally breaking the laws of physics and grabbing me from a different universe and all" Both of them chuckle "Anon... I lo---" Dash stands up " I wanna show you something" Without saying a word she flies into the sky at sonic speeds. She ascends to a reasonable height and takes a moment to look back at Anon. She begins flying leaving a trail of rainbow in her wake as she seemingly draws a shape in the sky. Anon stands up as he realizes what the shape is Dash finishes up her sky art and sudden realization hits Anon like a freight train. A giant rainbow heart with the Infinity symbol lies smack dab in the center of it. Rainbow looks back to Anon while floating next to her art "THIS IS HOW I SHOW MY FEELINGS!" Rainbow yells so Anon can hear her Dash without waiting for a response from a very surprised Anon flies past her creation higher into the sky. She stops when she thinks she high enough "Anon... I love you" She whispers to herself "And this is how I'm gonna tell you" She plummets towards the infinity symbol at blinding speeds and a familiar cone appears around Dash. The moment she arrives at the center point of the entire piece she preforms a Sonic Rainboom. This Sonic Rainboom was more powerful than all the others she has done thus far. The explosion rips and breaks apart the Infinity symbol along with the heart and the sky becomes as clear as a crystal Rainbow Dash lands on the ground in front of Anon and the moment she makes contact she then leaps of the ground and into Anon which he promptly catches her in his arms and embraces her in a hug "That was my way of saying I love you by the way" Anon speechless just embraces the hug with full intent "Equestria to Anon! Cat got your tongue?" Still in Anon's arms both participants just look into each other's eyes "I don't think there's any words that could describe how I feel about you or this moment... Ever" Anon chuckles and Rainbow jumps and hovers in the air next to Anon "So yeah you could say that a cat got my tongue haha" Both Rainbow and Anon sit and talk about how they felt and when and joked about most of the recent events including the slight jealousy about Soarin "You really thought that my type of stallion would be a wonderbolt?" "Well yes actually!" Anon laughs yet remains slightly serious "Well if it weren't for you being here I might've--" "Hey!" "hahaha!!" Rainbow shoulder bumps Anon "Don't worry big guy, I fell for you the same moment you fell for me" "I would say it was fate but I don't believe in predestined things or prophecy" "But it does feel like it though" "Yeah" There was a brief moment of silence Anon looks at Rainbow and he catches her attention "You know..." Anon gets closer his heart pounding Rainbow senses what is about to happen and inches closer as well her heart pounding as well "No I don't, tell me" Both of them stop for a split second before absolutely losing it in laughter at the absurdity of the reaction Rainbow just gave, especially sense it was out of character for her "You're not afraid of kissing me are ya? big guy" She says with a grin "Well you are a Pony" "So? You're a big hairless monkey" "Touché" They begin to come closer, lips centimeters apart, both able to feel the others breath, able feel each others heart without even touching yet... Then suddenly a vast pressure overcame the both of them at the same time. A chill came over Anon and his hair stood on end when he glances over and realizes what he is looking at... "It can't be" Anon stands up and freezes in a position almost ready for fight Rainbow stands up alongside Anon "You know what that thing is??" "Yes..." The voided figure approaches and stops 20 feet away and stares at both of them. Constantly releasing a dreadful pressure that both of them could feel "And N̸̠̈́o̶̟͋" Love War and The UnknownThe once clear sky is now littered with storm clouds. The wind whipping and thrashing against everything in no particular direction. Even the color of the world seemed a little dim as the Voided figure stands there staring in the direction of the couple "Anon seriously what is that and why does it have your shape?" "Rainbow I'm not sure but we need to get out of here I'll explain once wer--" Before Anon could finish his sentence The Voided Human disappeared from view and reappeared in the air in front of Rainbow ready to throw a punch. Anon realized what was happening and at almost the same speed leaps in the air and throws a kick into The Voided Human's stomach causing it to fly backward into the lake "I don't think that thing'll let us leave Anon!" "Agreed we have no choice but to fight then! Have no idea why it's targeting you though" "What do you mean?" The Voided Human emerges from the water unfazed by the attack "No time to explain Dash" Anon leaps with phenomenal speed directly toward The Voided Human The Void charges at Anon this time readying up and they both clash fists causing gale force winds to explode in every direction from impact "Listen I know why you're here but I'm at peace here" Anon states flatly before throws a kick straight upward sending The Void into the sky Anon lands on the ground then leaps with force into the air toward his target with Rainbow following in pursuit With an unnatural movement The Voided Human stops in mid air and produces a roar that sounds unlike any creature or material thing could make. This roar vibrates the very air and with a strong ripple effect blasts Both Rainbow and Anon out of the sky and towards the ground A Voice echos throughout the area as well as within their minds "That doesn't matter... you have to return to your world regardless" "Anon" Rainbow says with worry in her voice between breaths "What does it mean by that? Why do you have to go?" Anon looks over at Rainbow with sadness in his eyes "I... I really don't know" He wipes away a tear that was beginning to form. He looks up at The Voided Being with determination and a bit of anger "But I do know that Nothing is gonna take me away from you Rainbow Dash" If it wasn't for the situation Rainbow's stomach would've had butterflies but she'll have to settle for having her heart skip a beat "I trust you! Alright let's do this!" The Voided human is now charging at Anon at full speed with an axe kick Anon backflips to avoid it, Void misses and hits the ground causing a human sized crater "Listen Rainbow I need you to get out of here" "WHAT? OF COURSE NOT!!" "Rainbow you just said you trust me right?" "... Yeah but" "NO BUTS GET OUTTA HERE" The Voided Human stands up and waves its hand and a large gust of wind rushes toward Rainbow throwing her away towards some trees in the distance. The Void Entity walks slowly toward Anon "If you do not leave this Realm... It'll be destroyed" "DASH!!" Anon charges blinded by rage and throws a haymaker at what would be it's face The Entity catches it with one hand and with it's other hand places it on Anon's chest "I understand that you have an unlimited amount of questions and all of your emotions are conflicting--" Anon looks over and sees a Rainbow trail leaving the area indicating that Rainbow has fled. Anon smiles with relief that Dash is alright and not in danger "Sure all emotions are conflicting... EXCEPT ONE!!" Anon headbutts The Entity and throws a flurry of punches and kicks However The Entity blocks and evades in stride and returns some of it's own attacks until eventually The Being lands a punch into Anon's stomach causing him to kneel in pain "Anon isn't your name..." The Entity caught Anon off guard with such a ridiculous statement Anon Scoffs in between breaths "Oh Yeah Smartass! What's my name then?!" The Being places a hand through Anon's chest causing Anon to fall the rest of the way onto the ground. The Entity kneeling still having it's hand inside Anon's chest place it's other hand inside of it's own chest "You, Me, All, have no name" Anon is slowly losing consciousness "What the hell... Are you talking about?" Time seems to slow down to a crawl as energy bursts out of both of them in a pulsating fashion, Similar to a heartbeat "Chaos and Harmony. Light and Dark. Being and Non-Being. Same and Opposite. Yin and Yang. Life and Death... All and Nothing... In all omniverse beings inherently create and destroy all things" "What does this... have to do with me" "As we speak you are destroying this universe, you have the exact same properties as a naked singularity here in this realm. If you remain... All and Nothing will be one and the same" As the energy pulses get faster a sudden explosion can be heard which catches the attention of Anon who looks up and sees a Rainbow form in the darkened sky "YOU LET GO OF HIM RIGHT NOW!!!" Rainbow announced as she attacks The Entity at full power. The Being catches her attack and is struggling to hold up while Anon is able to get free Dash emits a Rainbow energy and hits the Void Being causing him to be knocked back a couple feet, allowing both her and Anon some space "I thought you wer--" "AS IF!!" Rainbow shouted, she looks over at Anon "Listen no matter what I'm always gonna be with you, no matter where you go or what you do... I'll be there, with you" "Heh, Rainbow what would I do without ya" "Probably lose, then again you'd lose anyway cuz there's only one winner and that's me" Anon chuckles "There's that ego again" The Voided Entity begins to float "It is time to Awaken from this Dream... The Infinite Dream" Anon stands tall and looks over at Rainbow Dash before looking up at his opponent "Infinity you say? Funny" he says with a wide smile "Rainbow Dash, you ready?" Rainbow with a smile on her face looks over at Anon "Always have been, Always will be" Both Anon and Dash assume a confident attack stance simultaneously "Rainbow Dash... My Love... LET'S GO!!!" Rainbow and Anon blasted off of the ground to take to the skies for an all encompassing Battle Anon begins by throwing another flurry of punches and kicks while Rainbow flanks and begins her own flurry "TAKE THIS!" Dash tells as she continues The Entity from the waist up splits in two torsos complete with arms and a head behind blocking Dash's attack meanwhile Anon is having difficulties landing his own but manages to land only one to the side with a powerful kick sending it soaring Dash looks over at Anon "Don't let up!" Anon acknowledges her encouragement "RIGHT!" The Voided human stops and sprouts large wings made from the same void energy. The Entity now looks as if it is glitching out P̷͉̆l̵̰͋ẽ̷̥a̷̡̚ṣ̴̿e̵͚͘ ̵̯̄d̵͓̎o̵͛ͅn̸͎̈́'̶̰̇t̶̮̊ ̵̧̈d̷̠͝ö̵̤ ̵͇͠t̴̳̓ĥ̸̹ǐ̸̤s̸͚̃ As Dash and Anon are approaching they notice the wings. This causes Rainbow to latch onto Anon's back acting as his own wings "Anon I'll be your wings and speed if you provide the power" "Power you say? Thought you'd never ask!" Anon clenches his fists and concentrates as Rainbow snickers at how proud of Anon's ego she is The Voided Entity and Anon Dash clash in the sky the shockwaves of each and every point of contact rips the moisture out of the surrounding air. Lightning dances to the symphony of wind and rain being thrown in every direction by each clash. Anon Dash spins, Rainbow using her wings to hide Anon's attack which surprises The Entity and allows them to gain distance by forcing The Voided Being backwards "Rainbow let's finish this" "You said it big guy!" Anon Dash fly instantly into a Sonic Rainboom and they've never traveled this fast before. The Voided Being spreads his wings and black lightning shrieks out of them and attacks Anon Dash as time seems to slow. Anon and Rainbow split from each other, not because of the Void lightning seemingly separates them, But for their in sync thought. Anon shoot past The Entity and Rainbow charges a Sonic Rainboom in her hoof "HEY UGLY!" Rainbow yells "I'M FASTER THAN LIGHT! AND I'M FASTER THAN YOU!!!" Rainbow throws her punch and all the stored up kinetic energy and light explodes in front of The Entity even though it caught the punch with one hand "AND YOU MIGHT'VE HEARD OF ME!!" Anon yells as he approaches from the opposite direction, the clouds clearing out from behind him give way to the incoming sunlight making half the sky in Harmony while the other half remains in Chaos. Anon throws his punch and a burst of energy is released as well "IF I DON'T HAVE A NAME THEN LET ME GIVE MYSELF ONE!!" In this moment The Void Entity struggles to hold both of them back "I'M BREAKING INFINITY!!!!" The Entity envelopes Both attackers in a sphere of Darkness and they begin to crack from the inside simultaneously. They both burst open revealing each other. The Void Entity envelopes them again as well as himself in a massive sphere of darkness... Anon and Rainbow Dash are both floating in this area of void unsure of what just happened. A being made completely of light takes on a human shape in front of them. A voice echoes throughout their minds as well the void "Both of you have committed to an impossible challenge" Rainbow Dash was the first to speak "We are the impossible!" "And we won't ever stop even if it was impossible" Anon followed up The Being of Light waves a hand and cracks form in the void behind of Anon and Rainbow Dash. The cracks break open to reveal a window like opening one behind each other. Behind Rainbow was Equestria, Behind Anon was Earth Rainbow Dash's eyes dart behind Anon and sees areas that are unfamiliar to her and her eyes widen when she realizes what this Entity wants "You're not... YOU CAN'T!" Rainbow thrashes toward The Being but is stopped by a force pressure surrounding her, preventing her from even being near Anon Anon however isn't moving. He looks at Equestria and to Rainbow, then turns to meet The Being "So you weren't lying about me destroying her universe huh?" Rainbow looks at Anon shocked "What??" The Being interjects and gets between both of them "Your end isn't here" The Being lifts a hand and briefly shows the infinity symbol as it starts to crack apart but it fixes itself and disappears "Knowing that both of you loving each other would destroy everything, Would you continue fighting?" "Always... I'll be with her no matter what, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let everyone and everything get destroyed. I'll do the Impossible, I will Break Infinity and after that I will retire in her wings and be at peace" Anon states with no fear "And I will catch him no matter how many times he falls. I'll help him accomplish his crazy Dream" The Being's chest begins to form the Infinity symbol in void "Then I will await your arrival" The Being emits a wave of energy that is forcing both Anon and Rainbow Dash away from each other and towards their respected worlds "ANON!!!!" "RAINBOW!!!!" They both desperately fight this immense pressure and getting ever so closer to reaching the other. They catch and spin in mid void Anon holds her cheek "Rainbow... I will never stop till I see you again" Rainbow holds Anon's cheek with her hoof to reciprocate her feelings "Neither will I. I love you..." They inch to close the gap between each other but are ripped apart and sent into they're own worlds... "In order for you to Break Infinity... You must first become Infinitely Broken" From Beyond The InfiniteOn a bench overseeing an expansive green field with a few trees, sits a human. He gazes upon the field with wonder as to how calm and serene everything is right now. He has faced many hardships in his life like most others had, and it's because of these hardships, he grows Looking around he sees no one around him. Realizing that, he sighs in relief that he has solitude isn't disturbed and he is free to speak amongst himself "You have always been with me. Even before we've met. Even before we were. I tried to tell others about my Challenge, my Love, my 'Dream' yet to no avail. There isn't another soul that can truly understand me as I cannot truly understand them. I shouldn't expect them to, I'm not them after all" He gets up and walks through the field slowly, passing by the trees "I'm in love with someone who isn't real" He looks at his phone and looks at images that fans have made of a character in a show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" He laughs a little at this "It's crazy that I woke up a year ago from that Fever Dream" He stops walking and is now in the center of the field Suddenly he gets into a fighting stance and practices his fighting style, Throwing punch after punch, kick after kick, then ending it with a bow. He looks up at the sky "I don't care, I'm free. I'll see you again Rainbow" He looks over at the hill with a single tree on it, The same tree that should've been destroyed now stands proud "Even if it was all just a dream, I'm still not giving up. I may not be as intelligent as some other people on this planet, and I may not be the strongest either..." "I guess you could say I'm stuck in a universe with no way to get to you. But I have at least one thing that might be the key to achieving the Impossible. And it's something we all have deep inside us..." He clenches his fist and holds it to his heart "The Drive. The Will. The Power to Never Give Up. To Never Surrender. I will continue to live life and train and do whatever I want to do as free as you are in the sky and in my heart. I will keep my Oath to you Forever" He begins to walk home and it takes him quite a while considering he stops every so often to feel the breeze and look up at the sky reminiscing. Eventually he reaches his apartment and sits down at his desk with his laptop. He opens the browser and scrolls through google searches of MLP:FIM and finds a website called FIMFiction After opening the site he realizes that it's a story site for people of similar interests post stories, some funny, some serious, and some in between "If nothing else, it would make for a story to kill time with anyway" He starts his own account and brings up a new story tab "Alright need a picture" He looks at his heart locket, opens it to look at it and ponder how this artist was able to capture this moment so perfectly "There is no better image" He finds it online and uses the image He opens and is stuck on the creation of the title for the Story. He sits contemplating to himself "How can I explain something that can't be explained? How can I tell everyone that the only limits are the ones we put on ourselves? How can I say that the strongest opponent we can ever face is within us and that it can take any shape? That our Soul can be chained by our own Heart. How do I explain how I fell in love?" He ponders "The self can be a beautiful dance of Everything and Nothing, But it can also be a storm, a battle and it's all or nothing. In a way, It's a Beautiful Storm. I'm not gonna pretend I'm a writer, I'm no writer. I just want to share a piece of my Soul maybe even break those chains binding it" He takes a moment to breath in and breath out "I know the title of the story" as he writes the title From Beyond The Infinite "Where my Heart is" Late Night ContemplatingAnon lands on the ground in front of the pond that had been present for the entirety of the time he had spent with Rainbow and sits in front of the large pond contemplating "I have fallen in love before but..." Anon looks around to make sure he was alone lest someone thought he was crazy for talking to himself "I wonder if she feels the same way about me, I mean she spends so much time with me anyway right?" Anon sits still gazing at the water before finding a rock to through in it, disrupting the reflection of the stars above "Just the thought of asking any of my friends or family to help with this matter churns my stomach, I mean what would I say 'Hey guys I'm in love with a talking colorful Pegasus you wouldn't have any pointers would ya?' " Anon pauses to take a deep inhale and exhales with the same force Anon looks at the night sky before starting again "Relax man, you got this, even though you really didn't have any luck with the ladies doesn't mean anything now, sure you're shy but when it comes to girls but with Rainbow... She's different, I feel comfortable around her, well, before my heart was jumping out of my chest haha" Anon feels a little silly that he laughed at his own joke Just then Anon heard rustling from behind him and quickly turned around to find a certain small orange Pegasus with a purple mane "Scootaloo is that you? Why are you out so late?" "oh Anon hey umm.. I come out here sometimes heh" "Well still you shouldn't be out here so late" Anon clears his throught and realizes she might of heard him in his ramblings to himself "Sooo... how long have you been here? or did you just get here?" Anon is sweating Scootaloo spots the sweat on Anon's forehead and perks up a little "I'm not sure but it sounded something like Rainbow being different and you being comfortable with her or something like that" Anon turns back around and puts his head down for a moment in shame and lets out a small huff then stares intently at the pond once more. He looks back and gives Scootaloo a reassuring smile and pats the ground next to him. Scootaloo sits beside him "Anon... you're really fond of Rainbow Dash, aren't you?" "Yeah... I am, I uhh really like her" "Ohhhh so you like like her am I right?" "Yeah I uhh I do" "You know I'm a love doctor right I can make another one those love potions and--" "NO, you're cool, don't do that I already heard the story haha" Anon and Scootaloo let out a playful giggle "Scootaloo did you sneak out?" Scootaloo hesitated "You did didn't you..." "Yes... please don't tell my parants" "I'll tell you what, let's make a deal, I won't tell your parant's that you snuck out if you don't anypony and I mean ANYPONY about me like liking Rainbow Dash, sounds cool?" Scootaloo puts a hoof on her chin as if to think about it then chuckles a bit for the reaction Anon gave her for even thinking about "you've got yourself a deal" Both of them take a moment to indulge in the sounds of the night and stare at the stars before Scootaloo starts again "I like Dash too you know, maybe not in the way you do but I do look up to her as a big sis" "Yeah she is pretty amazing isn't she?" "Of course she is the awesomest pony around, I'm trying to grow up to be like her, flying around at super sonic speeds and doing crazy stuff... helping ponies all over the world" "Well... what's stopping you?" Scootaloo looks at her tiny wings "I overhear my parents sometimes talking about my, disability" Anon takes a look at her wings then back at her "a disability just means you're playing life on hard mode, obsticles are oppritunities to rise above and prevail, challenges are difficult but if you learn to smile in the face of adversity you will truly be unstoppable" Scootaloo's expression changed from somber to that of wonder. Anon stands up and gestures Scootaloo to stand as well "Check this out" Anon kneels then jumps with force enough to blast into the sky, While in the sky he grabs a cloud and brings it down to the ground with him and lands right in front of Scootaloo "Whoa" "I know right! I couldn't do that where I come from and look" Anon shows his back to Scootaloo "No wings what so ever" Anon turns back around and breaks apart the cloud into smaller pieces of itself and arranges them in the air in front of Scootaloo "So because I don't have wings I have to fly using what I do have, my legs and arms, I'm a martial artist so I'm capable of using my own energy and the energy around me to enhance my strength. This way I have lift off" "That is SUPER COOL!!! wait, how do you maneuver?" "That's why I broke apart these clouds" Anon points to clouds and explains "Since I don't have wings I have to kick in mid air to change direction, one way to do that is to use these clouds as a platform to jump off of and if there's any in you're way you could just-" Anon juts a fist through one of the clouds "Go right through it, not a different terrain for a strong pegasus like you huh" "That. Sounds. AMAZING! But wait how am I gonna get way up there?" "Well it is gonna take practice but I can at least teach you the basics of energy control" For the next couple hours Anon teaches Scootaloo how to focus and feel the energy around her to amplify the output of power in her legs. Before long she jumps higher than Anon's height as he promptly catches her noticing that she was about to fall face first "Whoa now" He sets down the filly "Hey you're getting good at this. keep this up and you'll end up being fastest one day" "OH YEAH!" Scootaloo jumps into Anon's arms with enough force to make him stumble backward a little "Thank you Anon I'll do my best" Scootaloo gives Anon a smile that could rival Pinkie Pie's He sets her down after sharing a chuckle with her "Hey no problem I believe anything is possible. anything" Anon kneels in front of Scootaloo and points to her wings "It's not the wings that have the power to make you fly" then her points at her chest "It's the Heart" Anon stands back up and shakes his head then places his hands on his face speacking into them "God that was so CHEESY!!" "But you're right" Anon smiles with confidence "I am aren't I haha" Anon pauses for a brief moment to look at the moon "C'mon let me get ya home, I'm sure Princess Luna will be upset if she finds out you're missing sleep" "Hey what about you?" They both start walking towards ponyville "Adults can stay up late at night, plus I didn't sneak out" "Won't happen again" "Good, meet me here every Saturday at noon, I'll help you fly" Unknown Ḑ̶̢̢̖̯͍̞̱̩̬̺́̑̓͒̿̚͘͝͝ŗ̵͚̝̲̣̝͗̍̄̂ę̴̖̮͙̲̯͍͎͓̮͎̻͔͛̄̍̃á̴̞̤̫̰̘̯̠̱̜͈̆̌̽̃̓̃͋̽͝͝ḑ̸̜̘̺͋͆̆͒͂̽̚͝Covered in sweat Anon seems to not be able to find a comfortable sleep position.

He turns his head toward the clock as it reads 4:23am. In between harsh breathing and sweating he looks out the window and he notices that the sky has a faint glow as the sun is getting ready to rise "This nightmare has to mean something" Anon gets up and grabs a shower because of all the sweat. Afterwards he cleans up changes the sheets and goes downstairs to make breakfast "It's just a nightmare I'm sure it doesn't mean anything, plus I have more important things to think about" Anon states with annoyance. He wraps up the breakfast sandwich grabs his keys and heads out the door Anon locks the door and starts down the walkway "Still though" Anon turns and looks at the house "I don't know why but these dreams are starting to get more frequent... How do I deal with something so... Ủ̷̮n̶͖͐k̴̝͝n̸̝̐o̴͉͊w̷͎͐n̴͚̑ " Anon turns around and starts his day... Confiding ColorSitting on the steps of his front porch Anon contemplates recent events. He rubs his face in frustration as to what his dream could mean if it meant anything at all. He glances at his house for a brief moment and turns back around "Maybe my house is haunted" Off in the distance he can hear flapping of wings "Can't mistakes this sound for anyone else" Anon chuckles to himself as Rainbow lands and approaches "What is that supposed to mean huh?" Rainbow asks playfully "It means you couldn't sneak up on anybody if you tried" Anon returns the playful banter "Oh yeah!? Don't worry when Nightmare Night comes around, you're gonna be the one I scare the most" "You'll have to compete with my dreams for that Dash" Anon laughs it off but returns quickly to a serious tone Rainbow sits directly next to him and bumps his shoulder with her own "Your dreams huh? Wanna talk about it?" "Well..." Anon hesitates "I'm having nightmares with this shadow creature that kinda looks human, It's hell bent on me coming back home" "Aren't you hoping you'd go back though" "Of course but I..." Anon stands up and walks down the steps leaving Rainbow who's still seated Anon turns around to look at Rainbow "I do miss my world very much, but I've grown attached to this world... There's something here that my world was missing" "Magic?" Rainbow asks legitimately Anon laughs a little bit "Ha no, actually you could argue that science in my world is just magic explained, and whatever we can't explain, then we call THAT magic" Rainbow giggled to herself "Alright Egghead then what is it?" Anon pauses 'This might be my chance to tell her how I feel about her... Even if she doesn't feel the same way, I don't want to live a life of What Ifs...' "Rainbow Dash... You were the missing piece of my world" There was a small silence before Rainbow responded "Anon what... what are you trying to tell me?" She asks tripping over her own words Both Anon and Rainbow gazes lock onto each others eyes "I'm in love with you Rainbow" Rainbow's face turns cherry "Anon this is... this is..." "Happening fast? yeah it was sudden for me too" "Anon I... I have to go" Rainbow gets up and make a mad dash for a clearing for her to take off Anon's heart is racing as he tries to catch up to her "DASH WAIT!!!" However she was too fast and before Anon knew it she flew off into the sky and disappeared "DAMN IT!!! I should've just kept it to myself!" Anon kicks the ground causing a clump of dirt to form on his front lawn. Anon walks back into his house and shuts it forcefully almost breaking the hinges and lunges onto the couch to retire for the day

Also this is my first story ever created and I'm open to constructive criticism and I Thank all of you who took the time to read my story. Thank you Friends! The Storm (Earth) Minutes before the storm (Earth) On top of a grassy hill a single tree stands. Its height towers the overseeing forest. beyond the woods is a city home to the person that's laying on top of the hill Cloud watching. "Man... what a beautiful sky... but there's something that's missing" he retorts to himself laying down on the grass, hands behind his head, legs crossed, he sits up and glances toward the other half of the sky where it's completely dark. "This storm is coming in fast. Good" He stands up with force. he takes his jacket off and tosses it to the ground. he runs his fingers through his hair. cracks his knuckles, does some stretches to limber up, preforms some martial art forms to get the movements fresh in his head. "Storms are always the best for training, it makes me feel as alive as fighting strong opponents, I wonder if I'll ever fight IN a storm... heh that would be so awesome!" he unexpectedly shouts. suddenly a drop of water hits his forehead as he looks up. "Looks like it's time, I've been waiting for this for a while. Let's go" He quietly shrouds himself in his own words. quickly he puts his wireless earphones that loop around the ear in his ears and begin playing his music. Almost as if on que the water starts to pour almost immediately after he plays one of his favorite songs. In the air tonight by Phil Collins Cover by State of Mine. The wind has picked up into a roar of spiraling energy. The lightning dances in the sky. With every other punch and kick thrown the lightning strikes creating an exhilarating feeling of wonder. Not knowing whether or not he is going to get struck down. The training is getting intense as the storm seems to be getting stronger. In the sky almost right above him a ball of energy is forming. "What in the world is that thing?... and... is that a rainbow around it?" He questions the ball of energy in the sky. Lightning is now starting to also emerge from the ball of energy in the sky. "Okay curiosity may kill me but I have to get a closer look somehow... The Tree" he glances over at the tree then picks up his jacket and ties it around his waist. He runs to the tree and begins his ascent. He only gets about halfway up the tree before he notices that lightning struck the base of the tree and begins to fall. "Oh no, no NO NO NO!" clinging to the tree it falls and crashes against the earth. a luckily timed jump to avoid recoil was the only thing that kept him alive. landing on the ground in a similar fashion as his tree friend, he rolls about 10 feet away from the tree. "HOLY SHIT!! THAT WAS CLOSE! *cough cough*" gathering his breath he looks at the ball of light in the sky. It explodes in a rainbow of color. Lightning erupts out of the light source and strikes the tree and the tree evaporates into nothing leaving behind a small crater. "OKAY OKAY, THIS IS NOT A NORMAL STORM ANYMORE! gotta live to see another day before I get Thanos Snapped" He spits out quickly as he jumps to his feet. However the moment was cut short. he looks at the light source and before he knows it lightning strikes him directly in the chest. He fades and feels like he's falling then becomes Unconscious...

The Storm (Equestria) Minutes before the storm (Equestria) In the sky on a single cloud sits a resting Pegasus, sky blue is her fur and her mane a vibrant spectrum. A little messy but falls naturally in all the right places. "I'm excited! It's not every day the most awesome pony around becomes even more awesome" she exclaims to herself as she looks off into the distance to see a storm approaching. She pauses. She looks to the ground for a moment with a sorrowful look in her eyes. "Huh... you know... kinda wish somepony was here to witness the most awesome thing in the making... It's almost as if something important is missing..." She pauses as to let her own words seep into the confusion as to why SHE would feel this way all of a sudden. "Ha! I'm Rainbow Dash. The Fastest Pony in all of Equestria. At least after this storm I will be. After I beat the one thing nopony has ever beaten in a race... Lightning" she smirks to herself as she gazes upon the incoming storm. The storm is almost above her now. She steps down from the cloud and begins stretching her wings as well as the rest of her limbs. Rain starts coming down hard almost as if a wall of water was trying to level the ground. She lifts of the ground and flies above the storm for only a moment to see the sun again before taking the plunge. "Ohh the weather team did a good job with this storm, I'm glad I scheduled this day off, GO TIME!" With that motivation she dives through the clouds punching a hole straight through them. She flies in the sky dodging Lightning that comes close to striking her. Swift movements keep her in the storm as her focus drives her to go faster... Faster "Faster.... Gotta get Faster" A cone of Rainbow Energy begins forming around her body and in a sudden burst of light she destroys the rain around her. *BOOM* "Sonic Rainboom achieved! ALRIGHT! Time for the next level!!" She shouts to the sky. The Sonic Rainboom destroys the rain for a small amount of time before the storm starts picking right back up with even more ferocity. she ascends upward directly seemingly attempting to leave Equestria above the sky leaving a blinding rainbow in her wake. She turns in the air way above Equestria and starts her accelerating decent toward the ground. As she descends, she notices that Lightning is coming from the Sonic Rainboom she left behind previously. A thought came over her she contemplates. 'I wonder what would happen if I did another Sonic Rainboom in the same place twice? Who knows!? I might get faster!' Her mind made up she descends toward the exact space her sonic rainboom explosion happened. She slows down a bit for another cone of rainbow energy appeared around her. Perfectly Timed she allows her braking to stop and let's off another explosion happen behind her. *BOOM* *CRASH* *BOOOOOM* This sonic Rainboom had extra power in it propelling her toward the ground at an alarming rate she glances back at the Rainboom and notice a bolt of Lightning coming from the Rainboom is headed her way. She moves off to the side and races alongside the Lightning Bolt in a blaze of glory. Finally she is racing Lightning and she's winning. She Strikes the ground with all four hooves and makes a crater in the ground around her. *huff huff* she gasps for air. "That *huff* was *huff* AWESOME *huff huff*" she looks over to where the lightning struck the ground next to her and sees something strange "well that is weird. I've heard of Lightning striking trees down NOT making them appear out of nowhere..." Just then more and more Lightning comes from the Rainboom in the sky. She looks up and sees a Bolt of Lightning like no other leave the Rainboom before the Rainboom dissipated and a creature falling out of the sky hurtling toward the earth. "OH MY GOSH!!!" She notices that the creature doesn't have wings and is unconscious to make matters worse. She leaves the ground faster than she ever did before into the sky. She gets right above him and see him open his eyes in a squint. "STAY WITH ME NOW!" She yells at her descending ally. In a haze of comedic consciousness He retorts. "You'll have to catch me then heh..." Just then she wraps all four hooves around her acquaintance as a powerful flap of her wings creates a gust of wind toward the ground slowing the decent drastically. they both hit the ground which separates them two flinging them in opposite directions. She gets back up as fast as she can and quickly sprints in the direction the creature had landed. she looks around and notices he landed in the small crater in the branches on the tree that had appeared not a minute earlier.
Meeting a StrangerMeeting a Stranger In/From a Strange World The rain has cleared leaving behind puddles of mud throughout the field like landmines. Small craters strum about the battlefield the storm left in its wake. He stands up and puts his hands on his hips to try and hold steady after the fall. Still nauseous he notices that the sky-blue Pegasus is still laying on the ground gasping air and her eyes are halfway open. He sprints toward her to check if she's alright. His own speed surprises him as he stops right behind her. He overshot the destination. He shook it off, turned around, and kneeled down in front of the pony. he noticed that this pony had wings, had all sorts of color on her body like a vibrant art piece, not to mention that he believes she spoke to him while he was falling. "Hey... Thank you for saving me... you okay?" He asks with concern in his voice. She senses the concern in the words and determines he's not hostile at least yet, he does seem fast at least. "Yeah I'm good. My Awesomeness is still in tact" She correlates as she is helped up by a strangers arm. She steps back and scans the anomaly that is standing in front of her. He seems to be doing the same thing. He speaks first "Okay since you were the one that saved me certain doom, I'll introduce myself first. I'm Anon." He says sternly as he waves at his new acquaintance. "Okay sooooo who are you??" "You mean you don't know?? I'm THE Rainbow Dash. The greatest flier in all of Equestria" she retorts as if she needed to announce her title lest she would forget how awesome she is. 'Wow ego much?' Anon thinks to himself "Well you have to be really great flier to catch me out of the sky like that... Actually... come to think about it, I've seen you somewhere before, you seem so familiar..." He exclaims to her as he dives deep into his memory to find more info. "Well Anon, I've never seen you before ever. what exactly are you? you kind look like a monkey but like, less primal?" She questions the Homosapien. "Actually you're kinda close on that one. I am what is called a 'Human'" He takes a quick look at himself taking note that he is drenched. Then he looks around and notices he's on top of a hill similar to his home but the landscape is a bit different. He spots a village in the distance and gazes upon it. "Rainbow, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..." "Uhhh I don't know what a 'Kanzas' is, But I doubt it's anything like Ponyville" she says with a smirk. You could taste the confidence in the air. "Hey uhh... Do you know someone that can help me? I've always wanted to travel which is why I'm not freaking out about where I am, but I still don't wanna be wet and hungry if you know what I mean" Anon states bluntly to Rainbow Dash. "I do have a few close Friends that may be able to help you out, they are SO gonna freak out though. let's walk to Ponyville, that way we can get to know each other a little better" Rainbow states when she steps forward to lead the way to Ponyville. Anon walks beside Rainbow Dash and doesn't give her time to ask the first question as his curiosity is almost literally choking him. "Okay so you're a talking Pegasus and judging by the name of the town you're taking me into the inhabitants are all ponies?" He asks quickly for reassurance. "You are a smart one aren't you? you'll hit it off in Twilight in no time" She responds. So many questions are coming up about where he is and what's going on. But for now Anon will set it off to the side for the moment. Anon wants to learn more about his partner so he turns to look at her however still keeping pace beside her. "You seem so familiar... This whole place does... like I've seen it on TV before. Everything looks actually kinda like Earth but a little more vibrant in color. Not only that but you guys kinda look like cartoon characters, but realistic. Like if a REALLY talented fan artist drew you or something..." Anon rambles on until Rainbow cuts him off. "I'm not sure if that was a complement but thanks anyway. So this 'Earth' is your home?" She asks her Human companion. "Yeah it is" He says losing emotion in his voice. "You're worried aren't you? About getting home that is..." She asks with a hint of sorrow in her already raspy voice. They both stop at the same time. Anon perks up and smiles looking into the sky. "It's a beautiful day, I'm not worried at all actually" He states as he turns to look at his Pegasus companion in her eyes. Anon now has a look of determination in his eyes similar to that of a storm. "I've always wanted to travel and see new places, if I can't get home, then I'll make a new one" Almost as if on que the sun shines a bit brighter lighting the world around them a bit while wind brushes the terrain around them. "Alright! then seeing as how I found AND saved you, you're kinda my responsibility today, I'll show you around, have you meet my friends and get you started on your adventure!" She pumps her hoof in the air which causes Anon to chuckle to himself. Looks like they can make friends from just about anywhere.
New Places, New Faces Part 1New Places, New Faces Part 1 As Anon and Rainbow Dash walk through Ponyville looks of confusion and concern are all focused in on the Human. "Don't worry Anon, once we get you to Twilight and you explain your situation, she'll get everything under control, she has a knack for being able to do that, probably Celestia's training" Rainbow says trying to comfort Anon. "It's alright Rainbow, I'm actually glad that you're helping me this far, if I had ended up in any other world I'm pretty sure I'd have a bad time. Who's Celestia?" Anon retorts with a question as Rainbow's ear twitches to the question "I'm sooo glad you asked that before you met Twilight. She is the Princess of the Sun. Princess Celestia Is Twilight's Teacher" Rainbow states as a fact. Anon and Rainbow Dash reach in front of a door that is attached to a humongous tree *knock knock BANG* "Please don't Freak, please don't freak" Rainbow calmly chants to herself. "Just a minute!" Clopping from behind the door gets progressively louder. as the door is opening "The Library opens tomorrow if you... want to...." a purple unicorn stands in the doorway with her jaw half dropped staring at the human. "umm I don't know if you're gonna be open tomorrow Twilight" Rainbow chuckles a little bit as she glances at Anon. 'These ponies seem to only come up to about waist height' Anon takes note of their height and makes eye contact with Twilight. "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Anon, I hope we didn't interrupt your evening?" Anon speaks softly as to not startle his new potential friend. "Oh you're okay Anon. I can't wait to hear your story and find out what you are! This is a spectacular surprise!" She exclaims to Anon causing him to chuckle. "hehehe, I'll be more than happy to give you all the information you want, but first may I come in and use your Bathroom Twilight?" Anon asks genuinely while glancing at Rainbow who had already trotted inside the home. Twilight steps to the side almost immediately upon hearing the request to enter. "Of course Anon! If you go upstairs it'll be the first door on the right" Twilight pointed toward the stairs and Anon started his journey. It only took about four or five steps before he stops dead in his tracks. On the couch sits a small purple dragon with green spikes trailing from his forehead down to his tail. 'I thought everyone was ponies??' Anon thought as he fires a confused to look to Rainbow, then to Twilight, then back at the dragon who gives him the same look. Twilight notices the confusion and nudges in "oh that's Spike he's my assistant" Spike stands up walks toward Anon then Anon meets Spike halfway. Anon kneels down and both parties engage in a proper handshake since Spike actually has opposable fingers and thumbs. "Hello my name is Anon, I'm a human Hehe" Anon chuckles to get a sympathy laugh. It was successful as Spike also starts laughing a bit. "Haha well you probably already got it from my appearance but I'm Spike the Dragon" Spike says in a light tone as the handshake breaks. Anon smiles at the small dragon that only comes up to his knees which makes Spike return his smile. Anon turns to Twilight for one more question. "Hey Twilight, I don't mean to be a bother but do you have a Towel I could use, I'm kinda... Drenched" Anon states while looking at himself. Twilight noticed that he was soaked earlier and used context clues to deduce that isn't normal for 'Humans' "Oh uh actually I have a spell that can make you all dry in the blink of an eye, you mind?" Twilight asks the human. "Wait, you can do like... real magic?" Anon looks at Rainbow for confirmation in which Rainbow smirks and nods her head. "Dude, Magic is the thing that makes Equestria go 'round" Rainbow retorts while jumping in the air, seemingly floating there flapping her wings. "Here, allow me Anon" Twilight states right before her Horn lights up in a purple glow fires a laser at Anon hitting him square in the chest. Anon flinches and braces expecting to explode into oblivion. The water in his clothes seem to just evaporate into the air. Anon rubs his hands on his clothes just to confirm that what just happened, happened. "Okay, this is crazy and super cool, magic doesn't exactly exist where I come from" Anon states which makes Rainbow Twilight and Spike all flinch at the statement. "Oh we've got so much to talk about, I want you to meet the rest of the girls, I'm gonna bring them here real quick, okay?" Twilight says before Anon could tell her "Sure I'd love t..." She flashes and then she's gone. Anon looks at Rainbow Dash for confirmation that she just disappeared "Did she just... disappear?" Rainbow Dash lands and shakes her head while chuckling at his ignorance "she can teleport, oh man you have so much to learn if you're gonna stay here in Ponyville" She says while trotting to the couch to plop down on it with a satisfying *poof*. Anon chuckles "Haha okay Rainbow thanks for the heads up" Anon states as he turns to walk toward the steps to get to the bathroom, he starts his ascent. "I'll be back down in a minute" Anon's ascent not slowing down in the slightest. "Alright!" Rainbow responds to the ascending human
New Places, New Faces Part 2New Places, New Faces Part 2 A flash of light illuminates the interior of the tree Twilight Sparkle calls home. Suddenly standing in the room are all of Rainbow's friends she was talking about to Anon. "Okay Twi, Where is this 'Human' y'all were talkin' bout?" An Orange pony with apples on her flank and a fairly sizable cowboy hat on her head conjectures. "oh... umm.... I hope he's not... scary looking" A yellow Pegasus says in an almost inaudible whisper. "Nonsense Darling, He won't look the least bit scary once he visits my Boutique" A white unicorn with swirly purple hair speaks eloquently. "Well whatever he's wearing he can wear it at the PARTY!!! it's gonna be the most amazingepicspectacularsuperduperthanksforcomingtoequestriaeverafter party!! WHOOHOO!!" A pink pony excitedly states as she pulls a canon out of nowhere and fires it at the steps Anon is now coming down. Anon gets blasted by some of the confetti from canon fire then laughs a little bit as he looks around the room. "Haha man my friends are not gonna believe me when I tell them what happened to me" He states to himself as he looks at everyone in the room. There's an awkward silence till Rainbow Dash breaks it with a well timed cough. *Cough* "Ahem, Alright so this is Anon and I just wanna point out that I'm so fast that he came all the way from a different world just to witness my awesomeness first hand" Rainbow says as a matter of factly while striking a pose. Anon steps forward to catch the attention from everyone. "Haha sure Rainbow I came all the way from an entirely different universe just to watch you... wait... What exactly were you doing in the middle of a thunderstorm?" Anon stops to fire a confused look at Rainbow Dash, and everyone else also looks at her with a confused look. "Uhhh, well I was too busy catching a helpless human' out of the sky so yeah..." Rainbow states as she kicks at the ground hiding her real reason. Anon speaks up "Hello everyone, my name is Anon and I'm a human from a place called earth. I'm not sure how I even got here but I assure everyone here that I'm not here to invade or anything like that. I only harm if I or my friends are in danger. So I think I should let everyone know what I can do. In exchange for Information I also want Information because as far as I know I'm the only... human.. here" Reality sets in. Anon slowly drags himself to the couch to sit right next to Spike. His hands rubbing his face at an attempt to wipe away any sentiment that he has for his home. But to no avail. His head rests on his clenched hands. "Oh dear..." Twilight walks over to and stops in front of Anon who just notices her after a moment of disillusion. Rainbow follows suit and takes a seat right next to Anon who is now sitting right in between a dragon and a Pegasus. Can't say this is a normal evening by any means. Twilight is the first to speak up "Anon, you may be the only one of your kind here, but by no means are you alone. We will help you as much as we can. We'll let Princess Celestia know about you and get you citizenship here and get you stable here in Ponyville. Then we'll figure out a way of getting you home" Twilight says with a genuine tone of sympathy. Everyone in the room steps forward in front of Anon except Rainbow Dash who remains beside Anon on the couch. "I agree with Twi, all of us have Ya'll back" The Orange pony states with her country accent. "Ummm and me and my animals can help of course... too.. I mean if you don't mind of course.." The Yellow Pegasus says in a whisper but still heard by all. "Don't worry Darling, get with me and you're gonna like the way you look, I guarantee it." The White unicorn says which causes a small chuckle from Anon. "YEAH! and once you get all settled we'll throw you a party! The biggest anypony has ever seen!!" The Pink pony states in an energetic tone. Rainbow places a hoof on Anon's back which causes him to look to his left to meet Rainbow Dash's gaze. In that moment Anon's world stopped for just a second, just long enough to actually notice something about Rainbow Dash. 'Her eyes are really pretty' Rainbow Dash pauses to look at Anon for a moment as well before speaking up. "Remember that not only did I save you from demise, But I also saved you from being alone too, I'm your first friend, remember that" Rainbow Dash's look goes from a sympathetic one to that of a cocky smirk. Anon also smirks adding some chuckles in there. Spike nudges Anon in the side which snatches Anon's attention. "I'm not chopped liver you know. plus I'm in desperate need for another guy friend around here" Everyone laughs at the terrible joke. "Thanks Rainbow Dash... Thank you everyone. I promise that as much work you put in for me, I'll put in for you as well. I mean what are friends for right?" Anon says looking at everyone. The next few hours was spent with introductions with overall summaries of the world's as well as themselves. Anon now knows all of their names as well as their quirks. The 'Main 6 and Spike' now know about Anon and a little bit of his world as well as his martial art background. However he decided to keep his dreams and aspirations to himself for the time being as he thought it irrelevant right now. It is now about 11 or 12 at night. "Okay since I'm the one that brought everypony here, I'll teleport everypony home" Twilight says as Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie all gathered around Twilight. "Good night Anon" all four ponies say in unison. "I'll be back Anon" Twilight says before her horn glows and a flash of light illuminates the room and all 5 vanish. "Okay Anon that means I'm going to sleep to, night bro" Spike says giving Anon a fist bump before running upstairs leaving Anon and Rainbow Dash alone. "Hey thanks again Rainbow, for having my back I mean, feels good knowing that I can make friends in an alien world haha" "haha says the alien" Rainbow chuckles "Hey, I'm really curious, What WERE you doing in that storm?" Anon asks "The same thing you said you were doing in the storm, I was practicing what I love to do" Rainbow responds while looking at the ceiling. "Racing? but you were the only Person.. ahem.. Pony around when I came to. what were you racing? Lightning?" Anon laughs off before the silence captures Anon. He realized she was serious. "Actually, I wa" *Flash* A sudden flash of light and Twilight is standing in the same spot she left from. "I'm back! oh Rainbow you're still here, did you wanna stay here too?" Twilight asks genuinely. "Oh no I'm actually about to head out. gotta hit the hay cuz I work tomorrow and it calls for a sunny day, sooo clearing the sky for me" She says in a sarcastic tone. Rainbow Dash gets up from the couch and gets to the front door before turning around to meet Anon's eyes one more time. "You know, you make one Tartarus of a first impression" She opens the door and flies off without waiting for a response. Anon not knowing if that is good or bad replies even though she's not there anymore. "Likewise"
Small Time Skip Large DiscoveryOne Week Later... Anon sits up in the bed, it's early in the morning, but he's having trouble getting rest. It's around 5 in the morning so Anon goes to the bathroom located less then 5 feet from the bed. he splashes water on his face then goes to the fridge and grabs a jar that has cold coffee Mocha flavored. "man, I'm glad they have caffeine in this world, otherwise I'd be screwed" Anon speaks to himself in the room. he goes to the lone desk next to the window and sit's on the chair while resting his arms on the desk next to the coffee. Anon looks out of the window in thought watching the sun rise slowly over the horizon. He notices there are some early morning joggers about in Ponyville. "I'm glad this Inn allowed me to stay after Princess Celestia gave me citizenship here. They barely know me and they are all so willing to help. I'm actually kinda glad I got to come here, It's so much better than the dog eat dog world I came from." Inner monologue turns to an outer one when a Rainbow colored mane blocks Anon view of Ponyville snapping him out of the trance. Anon open's the window to address the Pegasus. "What are you doing up this early?" "Well I was up practicing some new tricks then I went to take a late night nap" "Late night napping is sleeping Rainbow" "Whatever, anyway that didn't happen so I came to check on you, How's the Inn" "It's a little small but it is cozy, just the essentials" Anon takes a moment to look around the room, then back at Rainbow Dash, "I got some time before I got to work today, wanna hang? maybe show me that new move?" Rainbow's eyes widened and a smile crept on her face "heck yeah!" She flies inside "Uhhhh. Rainbow.." "What's up?" Rainbow looks at Anon and notices that He has no shirt on, a light shade of rose forms on her face as she quickly looks away. "Yeah I gotta grab a shower and get ready for today so uhh you wouldn't mind meeting up in an hour or so?" "Right I gotcha I'll meet you at sugarcube corner in an hour" She swiftly flies through the window and takes a quick glance back Anon only to see Anon's exposed back as he walks to the bathroom. "Wait why did I get flustered, Ponies don't wear clothes all the time sooo... Maybe it's because he's not a Pony... That and the Guy is cut.." Rainbow snaps out of her small daze and flies towards her home to chill for an hour. *Hour later at Sugarcube corner* "Jeez where is this Stallion... I mean Person" Rainbow looks around to see ponies but no humans. She opens her wing to take flight but she catches her new alien friend turning a corner jogging in the direction of Rainbow. "Sorry Rainbow, took a wrong turn" "Dang, I was about to ask if they tell time differently where you're from" "Well maybe, you guys have daylight savings time?" "Daylight Savings what now??" "Haha Figured you didn't" "Whatever anyway I know about this park with an open field, let's go there" "I'm all about open fields, they're perfect for training" "Training? What exactly are you talking about when you talk about training?" "I'll explain on the way and show you when we get there" "That's fair" she puffs her hair with a quick breath *15 minutes and a conversation about martial arts later* Anon and Rainbow passes a few trees blocking the complete view of the park, Anon stops to take in the view while Rainbow takes a couple steps forward and turned around to announce the location. "You may not recognize this place at first but..." "...This is the area I fell" Anon didn't notice the beauty of it all before. "Yeah, and I caught you" Rainbow strikes a pose and spread her wings to full length and stood on her back hooves "You know being the awesome Pony I am" Rainbow smirks before taking to the sky "Haha yeah that ego flies higher than yourself you know that" "Hey! It's the truth! anyway you gonna show me these sick fighting moves or what?" "Hold your horses Rainbow let's head to that hill and I'll show you" Anon chuckles "Race Ya!" "Oh, You're on!!" Rainbow Dash flies directly toward the hill flying right over the semi large crater on the ground. Anon following close behind surprisingly. Anon notices that the crater is just small enough to jump over but he has to miss the tree branches just sticking out of it. Anon tightens his stomach and rushes forward feeling his energy fill his legs he steps forward with a force, so much force in fact that the footstep causes a impact in the ground. Anon jumps. "Hahaha you gotta do better then that to catch up with... WOAHHH!!!!" Rainbow looks behind her and finds Anon soaring through the air while he waves his arms and legs to get stable in mid-air. "WHAAAAT THEEEE FUUUUUUUCK!!!!!" Anon screams as he hurtles toward the earth halfway down on the other side of the hill just grazing the Tree that still stands atop. 'Okay, Okay think think, All you have to do is land just roll afterwards, Here we go!' Anon bends his legs as to not break them upon meeting the ground. Both feet hitting the ground still halfway down the hill, Anon begins to spin however it becomes uncontrollable once he hits a steeper area. "Ahh ouch seriously what the hell just happened?" Anon asks himself still laying on the ground. "HEY ARE YOU OKAY!!" Rainbow asks while flying toward Anon in a hurry. "Yeah I'm alright... just... surprised is all" As Anon gets up and checks himself for any injuries. To his surprise he couldn't find any. "Jeez Anon you gotta work on your landing, Why didn't you tell me you could fly?" "Rainbow Dash... I can't fly" "Then what was that just now?" "I'm not entirely sure, but on earth, Humans can't fly without machines" Anon looks at his hands for reassurance that what he just did actually happen. "Rainbow I have a theory, let's get on top of the hill, I wanna try something" Rainbow Dash fires a look of confusion at Anon. They both start up the hill in a light jog. They arrive at the top of the hill where the view oversees just above the surrounding forest. "Okay let me give it a test, then I'll give you my theory" Anon gestures for Rainbow to get behind him. 'Okay Anon, I think this might work just like in anime, If I'm right I shouldn't cause any damage to anyone from up here, I don't see any Pegasi around so it should be fine' Anon presses his palms together and begins to focus his energy into his right arm, 'I've always wanted to try this...' He draws back and quickly throws a jab with about half strength "SMASSSHHHHH!!!!" Anon screams as he punches straight forward. Just then a blast of gale shot in the direction the fist was facing. The wind whirling around attempting to gain equilibrium. The wind settles quickly "WOAHHH!! So THAT is your world's martial arts? or is that another thing that human's aren't supposed to be able to do?" Rainbow says picking up her jaw. "Well in its core yes that was martial arts, but it doesn't have that much power on earth, here's my theory. Since there is an abundance of 'magic' in this world, The energy I have in my body, The very energy I use to master my martial arts, Has taken the property of 'magic' probably to adapt to this world." "Yeah you're a little bit of an egghead like Twilight but how did you know what you could do even before using this... Magical energy?" "Well in my world, people who practice martial arts for a long time use what they call 'chi' or in other words, Energy that lives in every living thing. We use this Energy to 'Enhance' our physical bodies to be able to do crazy things. Like breaking bricks or stop spears with your body and not get hurt. Which is probably why I didn't get hurt in that fall" "Wow That is a lot to digest" Rainbow looks at Anon then off into the distance toward Ponyville "So what does this mean?" "Nothing actually" Rainbow looks at Anon with confusion just like earlier "huh?" "Well not gonna lie it's super awesome! And this means I can help you Elements of Harmony to fight any evil that comes to threaten this land and our Friendship. But no matter what, I'm not gonna let this power corrupt me" "Haha well I'm glad you're on our side then but, I wouldn't let anything corrupt you, They don't call me 'Loyalty' for nothin!!" Striking another pose "Yeah, I think I gotta get back to the Inn cuz Applejack might need some help soon" "Alright hey let's hang out next off day we need to see what you can do" "Oh I intend on finding out myself, let's do it!" Anon and Rainbow get excited and head off on the road back to Ponyville "By the way.... Smash?? Hahaha" Rainbow chuckles "Oh yeah" Embarrassment fills Anon "Yeah I watch a lot of TV shows called anime. I'm kinda a big fan" Anon clears his throat to sound more cool. "Well whatever it was, it was pretty Awesome" Rainbow bumps her side into Anon to reassure him "It was awesome wasn't it?" "Not as much as me though" Rainbow smirks "Keep that up and your head will explode from the expansion of your ego" "As if!"
New BeginningsAnon wakes up as soon as the sunlight coming in from the window hits his face. "Ugh, I haven't slept in in a while" Anon gets up and does some stretches to limber up. Anon steps over to the shower and turns on the water. *Knock knock* "The front door? at least I know it's not Rainbow. I'm Coming!!" Anon leaves the shower water on and steps to the door to open it. Anon opens the door to find Applejack standing on the other side of the threshold. "Howdy Sugar cube" Applejack tips her hat. "Oh Gosh! I'm not late for work, am I?" Anon glances quickly at the clock to check the time. "Ahh no no, don't getcha horseshoes inna twist y'here? I actually came to tell ya that'cha don't have to come to work today" "So like a day off" "Well Sorta, Mind if I come in?" "Oh of course, make yourself at home, It's small but still cozy" "Funny you say that Sugar, That's why I'm here" Applejack goes over to the lone chair next to the window and desk and sits down. Anon comes back from turning off the water and steps out of the steam covered room. "What do you mean?" Anon sits on the bed all the while shooting a confused look at the Orange Mare. "Well none of us knows exactly when or even HOW Ya'll gonna get back to your home" "Yeah neither do I but in the short time I've been here i gotta say. I love it here" "That's mighty fine of you to say. So what's say bout gettin you a house?" "Well, I'd love to have my own house. But for one I have not nearly enough bits, And for two I think all the buildings in this village are owned" "Except one" "Oh yeah?" "Yeah, There's an ol' Shack closer in between Town and the Park you fell in at" "Actually now that you mention it I did notice it while I was walking to the park with Rainbow Dash the other day, I'd love to get that but there's still a 'bit' of an issue hehe" Anon chuckled a little at his own joke "Well, it is kinda run down, That an' the rest of the girls wanna help you, So meet us at that shack and we'll discuss it witcha. Sound good partner?" "That sounds great! I'll see you guys there!" Anon says with excitement apparent in his voice Applejack gets up and heads toward the door. Anon opens the door for her but just before the Orange mare can get too far... "Hey Applejack, just curious... but why are you guys going out of your way for a stranger like me?" "Anon... You're not a stranger, you are a friend, plus don'tcha think it's cramped in here? at least a little?" "You got a point, Thanks Applejack, I appreciate it" "Anytime Anon, Call me AJ" Anon is about to shut the door when AJ is the one that stops him this time. "Just so ya know, Dash was the one to orchestrate this whole shindig" "Oh Okay cool I'll be sure to thank her by giving her competition in our next race since our last one was a bust Haha" Anon shuts the door then goes to get in that shower that he yearned for when he woke up Walking through Ponyville Anon notices that not many of it's residences were around, businesses were still open and ponies were running them but there was no one walking around like usual Anon gets on the street that leads somewhat away from the village. That's when ponies start to become visible "What's going on here??" Anon asks himself as a familiar red stallion trots and converges paths with his human friend "You'll see when we get there" replies Big Macintosh, a stallion with a voice that could do All-State commercials "So I suppose it's a surprise??" "Eeyup" Anon and Big Mac get to what used to be an old shed. Now it is a fully sized house that sorta resembles the shed, only bigger and it is surrounded by most of Ponyville's residents as well as the 6 friends you made when Anon got here. "Surprise!!!!" Everypony says in unison, Shock isn't even the word to describe what Anon is feeling right now, feeling all sorts of emotions Anon can only stand there mouth slightly ajar and struggling to speak the Mayor of Ponyville trots up to the human while his 6 friends approach as well "As Mayor of this town I humbly offer this beautiful house to you Anon. In the short time you've been here you have shown us hospitality in your actions and your words as you have helped the residents of Ponyville on your own time even when you weren't working." "But miss, I've only been here for about a week or so I don't think I deserve a whole house, I mean back where I come from-" "Just hold on Anon" Rainbow says as she flies to him "after work you carry groceries for earth ponies that bought too much, you stopped a swarm of bees that was gonna attack Zecora by doing that air blast thingy, Hoof! you even saved Scootaloo from crashing into a tree because she was going too fast down a hill" Twilight speaks up "Anon you helped me clean up the library when Spike and myself was too tired" Fluttershy steps forward "You watched all of my animal friends when I went to get medicine for Angel" She says in a soft yet sweet whisper "You know I do these things becau-" Anon was interrupted by Rarity "Because that's who you are, we all know this darling but you've helped just about everpony here, you helped me by pulling 5 carts full of gems I can use for new dress designs" "Yeah silly! You mean to tell me that when you taste tested my new baked goods that THAT wasn't helping?" Pinkie pie says while bouncing and stops in midair in front of Anon's face before falling slowly " Well, I mean they were pretty tasty" Applejack hits Anon's side her hoof "Anon, Granny Smith said ya gave her a piggyback ride back home after you were headin home yaself after you had got done workin for us, An when she turned around to thank ya you were already runnin back home" The Mayor speaks up "Not to mention that every time somepony wants to compensate you, you decline and always say that you were taught growing up to help others" Rainbow lands in front of Anon "You always help but never wanna be helped, don't let your ego stop others from helping you" Everyone stops to look at Rainbow Dash in surprise at what She just said... "Haha I guess no one expected you to say that" Anon says as he laughs light heartedly "I appreciate what everyone did for me I'm thankful to not only be here, but to have you guys as friends, jeez you guys make me so cheesy" he says as he laughs a little bit to cover the fact that his eyes are getting watery The Mayor clears her throat to catch Anon's attention "Ahem, anyway you have showed us that not only you aren't a threat, but you have showed us that we can rely on your assistance, we only ask that you allow us to help you when you also need it and help you feel at home here in Ponyville" The Mayor offers her hoof as a sign for a Hand/Hoof shake "This house is our Thank You and a Welcome to Ponyville gift" Anon shakes her hoof and smiles in gratitude "Thank you miss Mayor" He looks at everypony standing behind her. "Thank you Everyone!" The crowd cheers and a Canon goes off from behind Anon and confetti rains down on everyone while Pinkie jumps above everyone "ALRIGHT LET THE HOMECOMING PARTY COMMENCE!!!" Anon jumps up in excitement and exceeds Pinkie's height "Yeah!!!"
Filling The Space"This place..... IT'S HUGE!!!!!" Anon bursts with excitement as he enters the abode. He walks over to the Living Room and sees a Island with a bar top that separates the Living Room from the Kitchen. "I know right! It's so awesome" Dash enters right behind Anon and accidentally bumps into a stopped Anon who is frozen staring at the Kitchen deep in thought. "Uhhhh, Anon... you okay?" Dash walks around Anon and hovers just a foot away from his face "Earth to Anon! Did you hard boil your noggin?" "There is so much space, I have more than enough rooms for all kinds of cool stuff. Can't believe I'm gonna be excited to go shopping, I'm not gonna get used to this haha" "Oh, so the house broke your brain, got it" Rainbow states flatly with a small grin. Out of nowhere Anon grabs Dash from the air and gives Rainbow a hug "Thank you for making this a possibility, I have so much freedom now thanks to you" Anon lets go a flushed Pegasus that catches herself in the air. "That's what super awesome friends are for you goof" She says bumping Anon in the shoulder with her hoof with some force. "Hey that was a strong hit, wanna spar after the shopping spree?" "Hmmm, sure, but only after our race, Hope you can land on your feet now" "You're on" "Well where to first?" "Let's start with the bedroom, It's not much of a 'Bed' room without a 'Bed" y'know?" Anon states factually, Rainbow nods and they both head to the door. "Hey! Let's race to the center of town, Loser buys coffee Tomorrow" Anon stated as they are now outside stretching "Fine with me, You ready to eat my dust?" Rainbow says excitedly as she gets in a position ready for takeoff Anon in response gets into a horse stance and places a fist on the ground while resting the other hand on a knee "Gear, Secondo!" a loud thud is heard then steam shoots out of his body "3...2.." "What in Equest-" "1!!" Anon takes off leaving behind him air and debris in the form of grass and dirt "SHIT!!!" Rainbow takes off shortly after. Both Anon and Rainbow are flying directly towards the the center of town Rainbow directly behind of Anon, as they are above the center of Ponyville Rainbow smoothly turns from flying straight to flying directly downward. Anon passes it up and is now flying past Ponyville. "Missed it!! I need to turn" Anon struggles at this new speed and throws a punch to change trajectory sharply. "C'MON!!" A blast of air comes from his fist and is now heading downward at an angle toward the center of Ponyville. "ANON! DON'T FORGET TO LAND!" Rainbow yells from the ground while chuckling to herself "Oh NO!" Rainbow ducks to the ground as Anon flies just over her and hits the ground hard "Ugh!! turning in mid air is DIFFICULT!" Anon says in frustration. "Man you have it rough on the flying department, reminds me of when I was a foal" Anon gets up and some cracks can be heard as he turns his head and grabs his shoulder " Yeah well I'm still new to the Flying thing eh.. " *Crack* "Hey after the furniture I'll help you get 'Direction' by giving you 'Directions'" "Are you sure you didn't major in Punology?" "I did in fact!" "In this world I believe it" Anon says as he looks at Rainbow "Also I think I'm done with mimicking my favorite anime characters" Rainbow cocks an eyebrow and looks at Anon with confusion "I guess that was when you said 'Fear yalondo' or somethin and blasted off unfairly?" She says huffing a little bit "Yeah, hey wait I said 1 and then went, That is NOT cheating" "But you didn't say GO after 1 did you?" "Oh we're playing this game aren't we?" Anon said flatly with a small smile "There goes my Free Coffee" ----------------------------------------------------------5 hours and moving a lot of furniture later---------------------------------------------------------- "A little more to the left" Anon jestures with a finger "Right there?" Rainbow asks pushing it further "Ahh too far, move it to the right a little more" "Okay but I'm not moving it anymore after this" "Oh yeah, right there is good" "Good! now I can relax" Rainbow says as she plops onto the couch with a Thud Anon walks over and sits on the chair at the corner of the couch and kicks his feet up on the coffee table "You desereve it, Now we need advertising for your new moving company. Two pegasus and a cloud" Anon lets out a hardy laugh "Whatever, anyway we still hanging out tomorrow?" Rainbow asks half assedly "Yeah why not, but I think I work tomorrow so It'll be after work around 4. If I'm fast I can get out early at 1" "Okay then, I'll see you at sugarcube corner at 2" Rainbow says as she gets up and walks to the door Anon gets up as well and follows her to the door "wait let me walk you home first" "Dude... I live in a cloud, not that I don't think you could keep up but I don't know if you can walk on clouds plus you should chill and get used to the house" Rainbow stated with a gentle yet firm tone "Good Point, It's habit to make sure that everyone is safe, if I couldn't take them home I'd ask for a text or a call but you guys don't have cell phones here except one" Anon pulls his cell phone out of his pocket and inspects it. "Don't worry Monkey Man I'll be fine, I'll see you tomorrow!!" Rainbow says as she takes off "OKAY!! I'LL SEE YOU LATER!!!!" Anon yells then shuts the door to his house. Walks upstairs opens the door to the bedroom, and looks at his bed with fond eyes. "Now the Bedroom is really a Bedroom" Anon says as he dolphin dives into the bed still wearing his short sleeve shirt and pants he wore all day and turned off the lamp at his bed side
Living In One WorldApplejack trots over with a barrel filled with a mysterious liquid and sets it down with a little force jostling the nozzle on the side "Anon! C'mon over here for sec!!" Anon sets down the last two pales of apples for the day of labor he endured "Sure Thing!" Anon jogs over at a quick pace and stops in front of Applejack. Applejack takes a couple glasses with ice in them out from behind the barrel and fills both with a yellow like liquid "Have some Lemonade since ya worked ya petunia off" "Sweet! Thank you AJ, you know back in my world *sips Lemonade* There's a ceral named after you" Applejack almost spits out some of her lemonade in laughter "Oh Really? That is kinda funny, Probably why you chuckled after hearin ma name" "Can't lie, that is the reason" "Don't feel bad sugarcube, I can't lie either... quite literally, so where's the fire?" "I'm sorry?" "You seemed like ya'll were in a hurry to get this acre cleared before 4, an it's noon now, that's the fastest ah've ever seen anypony work" "Yeah I'm meeting with Rainbow later to hang out" Anon finishes the last of the Lemonade in the glass "Man that was some good Lemonade" Anon says as he places the glass on top of the barrel "Come to think of it, Rainbow has been acting really weird ever since ya showed on up here" Applejack smiles briefly "I"m thinkin she might like ya, or startin to at least" Anon shakes his head in denial of Applejacks words, "Nah, Idon't think that's it, Besides if she's acting a little differently it's because I'm new she's hanging out with me showing me around. Besides there's that whole difference between species thing" Applejack flinched "Excuse me? Species thing?" Anon notices the shift in tone and pauses for a moment to understand the current tension "wait... are you telling me that it's not taboo in this world?" Applejack set her glass down on top of the barrel "Are ya tellin me it is in yall's world?" Anon scratches his head "It uhhh, yeah it is..." "What in tarnati- "I should explain that most of the other beings we live with in my world don't have any comprehensive intelligence, relationships can't be a thing. It's kinda like if you were to ask me out but I can't say yes or no and I'm not of age to do so anyway and you took me out regardless. It's called bestiality there" Applejack shifts back to her normal tone and sits on the grass "Ah think I understand now. At least if you wanted you could have a love life here. After ya'll are comfortable anyway" Applejack equipped with new understanding get's up and gets her glass again "oh and I do owe ya an apology for snapping at ya, I didn't understand at first" Anon raises his hand in note "No need Applejack, I get it" Applejack pauses after filling her glass and looks at Anon "Wait, are ya sayin that you fell in love with a different speices before?" "Well no actually but for some reason I feel like I truly understand" In that moment an extreme pain shot through Anon's head "Ahh What the--" Visions flash in his head of him training in a meadow with a somber feeling in his heart. Anon drops to his knees and catches his breath "Anon! Are you okay??" Applejack is now next to Anon and has placed her hoof on his back to ensure that he knows someone is with him "Yeah I'm okay... just a headache" "That is one heckeva headache, ya want me to get big mac to take ya home?" Anon get's up swiftly but stumbeling in the process "nah, I'm good, besides ain't nothing a milkshake can't fix" remembering that he will soon hang out with possibly his closest friend here Applejack starts to head back in but not before she wishes him safe journey and speedy recovery. After Anon reassures Applejack he parts ways as well to head back home for a well needed shower. ----------------------------------------------------------------1 Hour Later------------------------------------------------ Anon locks his door turns around and checks his pocket watch "oh, it's only quarter after one, might as well do a little light training in the field next to sugarcube corner while I wait for Rainbow" Anon begins his jog into town, as he jogs he greets everyone with a smile and wave before getting to the backyard size field next to conor of sugary sweets. "Let's get some stretching in get these muscles loosened up" he says while starting with his legs "Still though, what was that earlier" his mind tries to make sense of his vision Just as Anon is finishing up his stretches he hears flapping of wings from behind him. He turns around to see no one. Turns back around and is face tot face with Rainbow Dash "Ahh!" Anon yelps as he puts up his defenses in reaction "Ahhh hahaha gotcha didn't I? haha" Rainbow laughs in mid air while holding her stomach "I'm gonna have fun with you come Nightmare Night" "Yeah well you only caught me off guard is all, you'll get your just desserts" Anon drops his hands from a guarding position and turns to head inside Sugarcube Corner and Rainbow lands and trots next to him "I'm too awesome to be scared of anything Anon" Both walked in the doors and sits down at a booth close to the windows "So what have you been up to" Anon starts the conversation with an exciting tone "Well I woke up, ate Breakfast, Then I spun my house around and took a nap" "haha you spun your house around?" "uh yeah by flying around it really fast" "you never cease to surprise me Rainbow" Pinkie Pie comes from around the counter to greet her friends "Hey Guys!!" "Hey Pinkie Pie" Said both in unison "So what brings you two to the tastiest sweet tooth booth to ever boop your nose?" Pinkie Pie boops both Anon and Rainbow on their noses with her hoof which cause them to chuckle "well I figured that I'd get to know this world a little better from Rainbow and I'll share a little of my world with her" Anon states clearly with a smile Rainbow shoots a look to Anon "You know you made that sound cheezy right? Do you write poetry or romance novels?" She says while chuckling a little Pinkie nudges Rainbow with her elbow "I think it's a little of both Hahaha" Both ponies burst into laughter as Anon's face turns bright red and he even chuckle softly. Pinkie now nudges Anon's arm "don't worry Anon, just joking witcha, so what do you have in mind for sweets you seem like a milkshake guy am I right?" Anon froze but soon recalls that Pinkie is the Random Energetic One "You know it, Strawberry please" "And the usual for me Thanks Pinkie Pie" "Okie dokie lowkie coming right up" Pinkie disappears leaving a smoke after image like a cartoon Anon chuckles a little bit and shakes his head "Sometimes I think this place is like a dream" Rainbow tilts her head in confusion "So you don't think this place is real?" Anon shakes his head again "No not like that it's just there seems to be more good here than bad, you see, in my world it's sorta the opposite" Rainbow nods in understanding "So there's more bad than good in your world huh, Then why try to go back?" "Well my Family and Friends are there and I don't wanna worry them sick. Earth is actually a really beautiful place even with the bad. I've made plenty of memories there. Speaking of memories I had a vision of what seemed to be like a memory earlier" "Were you asleep?" "No I was awake, it happened and it took the breath out of me but I'm good" Rainbow tensed for a moment but relaxed after Anon reassured his safety "That's good, but what was this vision memory thing about anyway" "Well the memory was indeed a memory because the events have happened but the weird thing was the feeling I felt IN the memory" "What was the feeling?" Rainbow leaned toward Anon in anticipation "The feeling was that of loss, like losing a loved one, that's strange becomes if I'm ever training sometimes I feel like something is missing rather than lost" Rainbow leans backward into her seat and ponders what Anon told her "... Maybe your world is trying to pull you back, but then you mentioned that there isn't any magic there" Both Anon and Rainbow discuss theory after theory until "AAAND One usual Chocolate and Vanilla swirl in a bowl with a side of Peaches and Cream MilkShake for the Awesome Flyer AAAnd One Strawberry Milkshake for the romantic poet haha have fun you two" Pinkie saysas she darts to another customer that had just walked in "Well anyway no need to dwell into it now lets enjoy the treats" Anon says when he takes a sip, eyes widen "Oh.. ma.....Gawd" Anon looks at his milkshake in disbelief "This milkshake could end all wars in my world haha" "Ha! really? Try this" Rainbow with the tip of her wing takes a teaspoons worth of ice cream of puts it on Anon's nose surprising him "Keep racking up your bill Ms Dash" Anon says squinting at his rival, he then uses his finger to get the ice cream for a taste test "Whoa, you know it's strange how even the same things that you guys have here are WAY better quality then back home" "Point one for Equestria" "Hey let's not make this a competition... but you can have this one" Anon takes another drink "Anyway you wanna explain Why you love flying so much?" Rainbow sips on her milkshake before starting "Well, to compact all the awesomeness into a shorter story, I defended Fluttershy's honor by racing her bullies"... Rainbow Dash proceeds to tell Anon about the entire story without missing a single detail regardless of of how short or long she thought the story was "Wow so it seems to me that you have the mark of a true hero, standing up for your friend like that" Rainbow smiles at this "Not trying to boost an already large ego Dash haha" Anon takes the last sip of his milkshake he was the last to do so and begins stand up, but as he leans forward to get up his necklace hits the milkshake glass catching Rainbow's attention "Where you going?" Rainbow says as she starts to finish her drink in a quick fashion. Anon puts 6 or 7 bits on the table as payment and tip and begins to jog out the door "And here I thought you were the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" Anon softly shouts to egg on Rainbow "Oh I'll show you fastest flyer all right!" Rainbow responds in earnest before finishing off her ice cream and chases Anon out the door leaving behind a Rainbow Trail as usual but what's unusual is the sparkling effect of the trail Pinkie Pie walks to the now empty table and looks at the bits "Anon tips really well" She says to herself as she retrieves the payment and continues working
Learning Another WorldRainbow is in hot pursuit of her Instigater, as soon as Anon steps outside Sugerube Corner he blasts off into the sky in the direction of his house. He looks behind him to see a Rainbow hot on his tail "Shit She's gaining on me!" Anon flips over a small cloud and bends his knees "Hope this works!" Anon successfully jumps off the cloud in the same direction this time with greater speed Rainbow in mid air has a look of surprise on her face "Wait did he just?" Rainbow picks up her pace and sees Anon nearing the ground and crashes in the field he entered the world from next to the lake Anon gets up with a hand on his neck and a disgruntled look "Landings! jeez how are they that DIFFICULT!" he looks behind him in the sky but see's no Rainbow Dash "Huh I guess she really isn't faster than..." He looks straightforward and catches a brief rainbow trail and is tackled to the ground "Meh! ugh!" Spinning on the ground for a second both land and Anon is on his back now with Rainbow standing overtop, She leans her face close to his, Anon blushes "Don't call me slow if you know what's good for ya" Anon can only let out a nervous laugh and Anon tries to get up but feels a hoof on his chest gently pushing him back down. Rainbow spreads her wings and raises them high "heh Dash? What are you-" "This is True Speed" With immense power one flap of her wings sends her high into the air at Sonic Speeds and Anon is left speechless as he stares in the wide open sky. Rainbow is now flying straight toward him and he sees a cone form around her body. "Is she about to break the sound barrier??" *BOOM* A blast of immense proportion and color envoloped the entire sky, a circular rainbow pattern emanated where she was. She starts slowing her decent and right before landing in front of Anon preforms a backflip and touches down softly "And that is speed, Any Questions?" Rainbow with half lidded eyes and a devious smirk looks at Anon who is still comprehending what he witnessed "So many, That was amazing and it shook the ground too!" Rainbow looks at the sky at the clouds moving away from the explosion and at the ground "Huh" "Is something wrong Rainbow?" Anon asks a little concerned "Well that Sonic Rainboom was way more powerful than ever before..." Anon and Rainbow sits down properly next to each other gazing at the lake "I knew you were fast but I didn't know you were THAT fast, that's cool as hell" Rainbow laughs in earnest of her complement "Thanks for the ego boost, and for realizing i'm faster heh" Rainbow takes a deep breath "So anyway, tell me more about yourself starting with the Dog Whistle" she says as she points at the necklace Anon looks down at his necklace and exhales an exasperated sigh and small chuckle "Even in this world? I guess it does look like one" "So it's not I take it" "It's not, it's actually the staff of The Monkey King" Anon takes off the necklace and hands it to Rainbow "Wait so you're a King?" Anon puffs his chest and looks at her with a smirky expression " why of course I am can't ya tell?" Rainbow bumps Anon with her shoulder into his while laughing "Okay so you're not a Monkey King" "Not a, The, There can only be one, haha well I am only in mindset I dont think I actually am, Sun Wukong is his name and he is my favorite mythos and quite possibly the most powerful non omnipotent character in fiction" "Say what now? Mythos? What is that?" Rainbow looks at Anon in confusion Anon takes a moment to take in a deep breath and exhales "oh we're gonna be here for a while, you sure you wanna know more about my interests?" " psshhh c'mon Anon I'm invested in hearing about the stuff in your world, sounds fun" "Alright then, here we go..." A couple hours have passed as Anon tells Rainbow all about The Journey to the West and the influence it had on the modern media as well as the anime it inspired and what that is. Rainbow listened very intently and was intrigued by how similar the media between their worlds were similar as well, what with Daring Do being basically Indiana Jones but pony version. More and more topics came up and a couple more hours later they were comparing the differences between the two worlds such as Magic and Technology. At one point the two were joking about AppleJack having the same name as a famous Cereal. They were so involved in each other's world that they didn't even realize the sun had been setting and it was getting dark...
The Fall"Man we lost track of time" Anon says, gaze shifting from the lake to the now appearing stars in the twilight sky. "Yeah we sure did" The only sound heard was the distant chirps of grasshoppers and a bat here and there. Fireflies are starting to appear and illuminate the edge of the water. The moon shining a tad bit brighter than usual and full with only a few clouds scattered throughout the sky. Sun has set and the light of the cosmos provides a dim visability to the surrounding beauty that is this world. "Rainbow Dash. I wanna see if I can get on a cloud, you mind helping me out?" "Anon. You didn't even need to ask, I got your back" Rainbow says with a challenging grin, a look that Anon replicates in earnest Both parties stand up in unison and Rainbow points to a cloud way up there in the sky, not the highest cloud by far but the cloud with the most fluff to hold two beings. Anon without saying a word of warning jumps and flies through the sky only focusing on the cloud. Rainbow takes off but soars right past Anon and gets on the cloud before him. Spreading his arms and legs slightly to slow his ascent Anon doesn't make it to his destination and stops jus about 2 feet away. A hoof emerges from over the edge of the cloud and Anon instinctively grabs the appendage. "Ugh C'mon big guy! hop up here!" Rainbow expresses while pulling up her friend, he grabs the edge of the cloud and his hand doesn't go through, Anon smiles at this "Yes!" He pulled himself up and now Anon is sitting on a cloud. He checked out the cloud they were on and noted that the cloud was about the size of a queen size bed and way softer than any other bed before. "Wow Rainbow I can see why you like to nap on clouds so much, I gotta try it out myself onetime" "Yeah cuz you're missing out, remember napping is necessary to being the fastest" Rainbow states as if she were a teacher Anon scoots away from the edge and leans on his hands backwards gazing out at the view he hadn't noticed before. The mountains ahead are in greater detail now that there aren't any hills obstructing the view. There is a river flowing down the mountain off to the right side and the moon is hovering over the second mountain over to the left of the amazing spectacle. Rainbow opts to sit on the edge of the cloud and with back and wings toward Anon obstructing his view with her Cyan frame "Hey... Why do you train so hard?" Rainbow asks glancing backwards at Anon for a moment only to return her gaze to the mountains "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" "Try me" "No seriously if I were to tell you, you would think I'm crazy, like everyone else does..." Rainbow turns her head back at Anon with a serious expression "Listen, I'm not 'everyone else' and besides I already think you're crazy" She turns her head back at the scenery before speaking again "So try me" Anon felt a spark inside of him making him feel a little warm on the inside, a feeling just as foreign to him as he was to this world "Well, I want to show everyone that anything is possible even if it literally isn't, it's a crazy notion but in order for me to do that I have to do something so crazy that it would be impossible to comprehend" Anon stops to take a deep breath in before starting again "I have to Break Infinity" Rainbow chuckles slightly before turning her body sideways to offer more of her frame to the conversation "Infinity? isn't that the thing with like, no limits, plus it's only a concept right?" Anon shakes his head and looks at the cloud picking at it "Yeah, like I said, it's crazy" Rainbow looks at Anon for a moment and turns her body back to her original position "if it was anypony else , yeah they would definitely think you're crazy" She chuckles for a brief second "But not this pony" Rainbow turns her head to Anon "we're kinda alike, trying to do impossible things, but I truly believe that if anyone is as awesome as me and can do anything they believe they can, then they will" Anon looks deep into Rainbow's eyes "are you saying that you believe me" Rainbow remains locked in eye contact "I'm not just saying I believe you, I believe IN you Anon" In this moment... Time seemed to stop. His eyes widened and all he could see was her. Nothing but her. His Heart was missing every other beat. And when his Heart did beat it was almost audible outside his chest. He fell. hopelessly and effortlessly just like the day he fell into this unknown world and she caught him, this time it was her that made him fall in every sense except literally. He noticed everything about her. The way the light traced her colorful mane, her sky-blue coat looks as soft as a cloud and as calm as the sky, The sparkle in her Magenta eyes magnetizes his gaze upon them. He's never been so certain about anything before. Rainbow Dash is the One. Always has been. Always will be. "Oh my god" Anon said in raspy whisper almost choking on his own words Rainbow looks at Anon with confusion "what's wrong? Do I have something on my face?" she says before brushing her face with a hoof "No it's not you Rainbow, actually... It's getting pretty late I think we should get home" Anon scratches the back of his head and forces a small chuckle "guess what though?" "What?" "I can fly with you to your front door, considering that I can walk on clouds and all" "Shoot okay let's go big guy!" Rainbow hops up and spreads her wings getting ready for take off "Alright let's go" They both take off to the sky toward Dash's house in the sky and it doesn't take long to get there. They both land right in front of Dash's front door. Anon looks up at the sky fortress and marvels at the sheer scale "Oh my--" "God?" Rainbow cuts him off "That's the second time now" Rainbow smirks a little "Pretty big huh" "That's what she said haha but yeah. Does it ever get well..." "Lonely?" Rainbow and Anon look at each other for a second "Until I realize how Awesome I am, it does feel empty at times" Rainbow opens the front door to reveal a turtle patiently waiting by the front door "And that's why I have Tank haha" "You know, even being prepared to see your pet because we talked about him earlier, still doesn't really prepare me to see a turtle in the sky but he is still Awesome. Just like you" Rainbow chuckles a little bit "hahah Thanks Anon, say you wanna hang out again next off day" Anon perks up almost immediately "Yes! of course! oh and one more thing" Anon bends to one knee in front of Rainbow Dash and hugs her much to her surprise "Thank you for believing in a crazy person like me" Rainbow submits into the hug and rubs Anon's back with a hoof "And I won't stop believing either, so when you do Break Infinity I wanna be there to see the show" Anon pulls her away back arms length "You front row seats AND a backstage pass"
Skyborn WarriorAnon puts down the bucket of apples and wipes the sweat off his brow with an arm "This should be the last one for today AJ phew!" Applejack nods "As always thank ya very much Anon and here's your pay" she takes her hat off and pulls out a sack of gold coins as payment for the week and gives it to Anon Almost immediately after the sack hits Anon's hands he notices that the sack is a little heavier than usual. Anon opens the sack to reveal quite more than the usual amount of bits "Hey AJ I think you gave me too much money" Applejack shakes her head while putting her hat back on "Nah that's a bonus since with yall's help we've been able to fill more orders and grabin more customers in the proccess, consider it a thank you for you bustin ya tail" Anon smiles and kneels down to hug Applejack in thanks of her appreciation. Then he turns to go to his house to prepare for the rest of the day "Thanks again AJ!! I'll see ya!" "Enjoy your weekend Anon!" Applejack yells as she waves then returns to her abode Anon begins jogging toward his house just outside of Ponyville when he notices a certain colorful Pegasus flying right next to him. As soon as he realizes that it's Rainbow Dash he trips and tumbles onto the ground With a hearty laugh from Rainbow she helps Anon up after he starts laughing himself "Wow you don't even know how to land when you're already grounded!" "You just startled me is all jeez what are you doing stalking me anyway?" Anon chuckles but can feel his pulse increase in speed "Well I was wondering if you wanted to go for a fly maybe spar a little if you don't mind showing me some 'Kung Fu' moves of yours" "Right Kung Fu moves huh" Anon says in a whisper while turning his head to hide a blush "Yeah that's cool, just give me like an hour and I'll meet you at the Field where I usually train" "You mean where I usually train but I get ya, I can just wait in your living room until you're finished getting ready" Rainbow lands next to Anon as they both start walking towards his house With each step in awkward silence Anon's heart was beating faster and faster 'Wait did she just say she'll wait in the living room, calm down calm down, she's been in your place before, Hell she's the one that helped put the freaking place in order, it's gonna be alright' Anon puts a hand on his chest and begins slowing down his heart beat but failing when Rainbow notices this "Uh Anon, you okay?" "Yeah I'm okay, just catching my breath anyway yeah you can just wait in the living room" After reaching Anon's house they both enter and Rainbow sits on the couch in the living room to wait for Anon to get done changing upstairs. After getting undressed the redressed with his training outfit on, he sits on his bed and thinks to himself 'After that night, every single time I hang out with her my mind goes crazy, today is the day. I gotta know right? or should I wait...' "hmmm" Anon gets up and starts to head downstairs 'I'll cross that bridge when I get there' Anon gets downstairs and collects Rainbow and heads out the door "wanna race there?" Rainbow with a smile looks at Anon with a look of determination "Of course I'm always down for a race, prepare to eat my dust Anon" she gets into a ready stance prepared to take off any minute Anon matches her determination with a glance of his own and takes his stance "Three. Two...-" "ONE!" Rainbow pushes off the ground with extreme force right before Anon rushes into the sky in hot pursuit. In the sky they seem to be neck and neck until they both spot the field they need to arrive at. Just like that Rainbow Dash pushes the limit of the air around her forming a familiar cone then *BOOOOM* an explosion of color speeds off in every direction. Anon is behind her even further now. Rainbow arrives and lands first and then shortly after, Anon lands, properly this time "Hey you're actually getting better landing, yo've been practicing haven't you" "A little but wow you have got some speed Dash, you remind me of a comic book hero. The Flash" "Yeah but I bet I'm faster than that pony" "haha Rainbow he's a human like me but I'm sure you can be" Both Anon and Dash sit down on the hill just off to the side of the familiar lake "Hey you are very awesome you know that" Rainbow said after taking in a breath of fresh air "Wow that isn't something you hear everyday especially from the awesomest around" Anon looks at Rainbow Dash with a bit of confusion "Scootaloo" "Ah so she's told you about the training" Rainbow looks at Anon with a smile "Yeah she has..." Rainbow clearly holding in some laughter "Sensei" then Dash chuckles but light heartedly "Hey I figured this could be my shot to make it to bruce lee's level you know!" as Anon chuckles with Rainbow "But for real that is pretty cool Anon" "Hey if you want I can give you a crash course on using your energy properly, I've been thinking about your Sonic Rainboom here lately and here's my idea... ---------------------------------------------A couple hours later--------------------------------------------- Crashing could be felt on the ground with what is happening in the air above it. Clouds are breaking apart from the sheer force of the impact. Rainbow throws a spinning hoof kick towards Anon's side. Anon blocks the kick his forearm and smiles while throwing her away from him into a cloud. Anon flies straight toward his target. Rainbow quickly changes the composition of the cloud that caught her into that of a storm cloud. She puts it in front of her and punches the cloud and a lightning bolt shoots out of it. The lightning bolt hits Anon and he falls towards the ground. he realizes what happened and spins to land on his butt instead of his head Rainbow rushes to Anon wearing shock and worry as expressions on her face "OH MY GOSH! Anon are you okay??" Anon looks at her with a small smile and chuckles a bit before answering her "Don't worry, I'm cool. not the first time I've been struck by lightning" 'Guess you could say not the first time I've been love struck either' Anon laughs out loud at his own joke in his head Rainbow lets out a sigh of relief then hovers in front of Anon "sooo, you wanna keep going or should we call it quits for today" He shakes his head "Nah we still have plenty of daylight left plus you're really close to battle prep your new ability, I think you should try it now, if you get it... I'll treat you this Sunday with your favorite restaurant" Anon flinching at his own words 'I wish I worded that differently' Rainbow smirks "I won't fail then, free food, hanging out with an awesome Human, sounds like a great day to me!" Dash shoots into the sky, Anon jumps into the sky and grabs a cloud to sit on and watches Rainbow as she picks up speed Dash flies straight toward a cloud to practice a series of punches and kicks before flying to Anon "I'm ready, you ready?" "Yup" Anon stands on the cloud and gets into a serious stance and closes his eyes for a moment to focus and then opens his eyes along with his hands as if to catch something "Okay then" Rainbow hovers just a few feet away from Anon facing away from him. She closes her eyes and focuses. "Remember what Anon taught me, focus my energy like I did with that cloud..." She opens her eyes and a cone of air forms around her hoof and forearm without even moving it. She cocks her hoof back and prepares to punch. Her hoof is shaking now and the cone is getting wrapped tightly around her hoof "Release that power once you're ready!" Anon yells over the gusts of wind emitting from Dash "Okay here we go, AHHHHH!!!!" *Boooom* Rainbow throws the punch and an explosion of color bursts out of her hoof. The shockwave from her own attack sent her flying backward at great speeds, However, Anon was behind her to catch her. Anon successfully caught her but the force of her hitting him knocked both of them down on the cloud they were on "Hey are you okay Rainbow?" Rainbow shifts herself, gets up and is now standing above Anon looking at him from an awkward angle making him blush a very deep red "Yeah I'm okay, a little shook in up but I'm alright" Rainbow notices how red and flustered Anon is and chuckles a little "I should be asking if you're okay, I did just smash into you back there" She says with a confident smirk "Uhh" Is all that Anon could mutter. Before long he mustered up his courage to return to normal somewhat and gets up "Yeah I'm good" he says as he brushes his clothes off from any dust that might've been attached "You did fantastic Dash and before long you'll be more powerful than even me haha" Anon attempting to put back together his confidence "Well with how red your face was I think I'm already there" Rainbow states in a murmur Anon not hearing his Pegasus friend turns to look at the ground from the cloud they were on "Alright let's go grab some burgers or something then head home to rest up, I always love a good meal after training" Anon gestures Rainbow to come with him then they both jump off the cloud and land onto the ground "Anon..." Rainbow says "Yeah?" Anon turns to face Dash "You are almost as awesome as I am so I was curious" Rainbow looks away for a moment to hide a blush "What are your thoughts on... Love?" Just as the last word left Rainbow's voice his heart picked up speed. Anon had no idea how to react, he froze. 'Wait wait wait, is she seriously asking ME? Does.... does that mean she likes me? has to be. this might be it. The moment I've been waiting for. LET'S GO!' Anon gathers his composure and walks toward Rainbow "Love is power in every sense of the word, It can definitely make the impossible things possible and with it, no one is more awesome then someone who has a never-ending supply of it from someone else" Anon kneels in front of Rainbow Dash and nudges her shoulder with a fist "Why you ask? Like somebody? Hmmm?" Anon asks in a jokingly way Rainbow looks up at Anon who has an encouraging smile "Well actually yeah, it's ----" "Good Evening guys" a mysterious light blue male pegasus walks up from behind Anon and catches the attention of both of them "Hello sir, Who are you?" Anon asks slightly exasperated Rainbow jumps up and down and look at Anon with a surprised expression "You don't know?? I've told you bout the Wonderbolts! That's Soarin!" Anon besting his inner irritation composes a gentle smile and extends a hand to Soarin "Nice to meet you I'm Anon" "Hello sir, I'm here for Rainbow Dash" Soarin says as he finishes the hand/hoof shake and turns to face Rainbow "Hey remember when you preformed the Sonic Rainboom and saved your friend Rarity?" "Of course I do!" Rainbow excitedly projects "You were amazing back then as you were just a moment ago..." Soarin hesitated "I have something important to tell you" Anon's heart sank a little bit in antispation at what response Rainbow was gonna give and how "Yes??" She says with excitement and happiness 'Okay he is part of the Wonderbolts and it's kinda her dream to be one of them maybe it's an invitation' Anon hopes Soarin looks at Anon then back at Dash "I kinda want it to be just us" Rainbow Dash looked a little confused but in the midst of her excitement jokingly chuckled "Okay? When" "I was thinking this Sunday, We'll grab some coffee early morning" Soarin say as he smiles at her then turns to walk away "see you guys!" "Oh. my. Gosh! I can't believe that just happened" Rainbow turns to see Anon walking away "Hey where are you going?" "Home" "I thought you like a good meal after training?" Rainbow asks confused "Love. I love a good meal after training" Anon says deadpan. He then turns around while still walking backwards, giving Rainbow Dash a fake smile "I'm just not hungry anymore, don't worry I'm cool. See Ya!" Anon turns and without waiting for a response blasts into the sky forcefully towards his house Rainbow Dash hesitates to chase after him "What the?" Rainbow shocked at the sudden change in Anon's character left her frozen "What happened?"
Unknown F̵͈̹̙̹͈͍̩̬̀̃̌̚e̸̤̱̣̜̹̾̌̎̀̍͘̚ẳ̵̠̗̂̒̚͠ř̴̢̬͈̞̄̚͘Anon tosses and turns in his bed in the middle of the night. He gets up and sits up right at the edge of the bed. He looks over at the window then decides to relocate to the kitchen for a drink of water. As he goes down the stairs he can feel his heart sink with every step "Maybe I overreacted a bit. It is entirely possible that he just wanted to talk to her about becoming a WonderBolt... ugh!" Anon grab a bottle of water from the refrigerator and takes a step outside on his porch and looks up at the clear night sky "This is crazy I've been here for awhile now and I'm living relatively well. I have my own house which I didn't even have in my own world. I have these cool as hell abilities that you would swear came out of a comic book, hell, I'm even living my superhero dreams by saving peop-- err, ponies" Anon shakes his head, his gaze wonders to the lights coming off of ponyville a little bit away "I guess the only thing I'm really missing here is someone to share all this with" Anon looks around even though he knows he has no neighbors to hear him "Man... Falling in love with a Pony is new to me, I mean... I am the ONLY human here. am I not allowed to love even though it's taboo where I'm from? How will my Family and Friends react? Should I even tell them? Will I ever see them again?" Anon chugs the entire water bottle and throws it on his porch landing near the front door "You know, it doesn't matter, I love her and I have to let you know this regardless if whether or not she feels the same way" Anon smiles through the pain in his chest "If I don't ever try then I'll be living in the state of 'What if' for the rest of my life, and I'm not having any of that" Anon turns around and heads inside, locks the door and heads to his bed upstairs The instant his head hit the pillow he immediately felt a throbbing pain in his head. despite this he was able to overcome the pain and fall into a mild slumber... Y̸̟͔̻̊̀́O̸̜̓͗̓́̾Ȕ̷̠̝̳͋̈́͜͝ Anon finds himself standing in the middle of a beautiful field, bustling with flowers and trees. then all of a sudden it switches from a gorgeous view to that of a baron one. The once emanating meadow now scorched, patches of fire strewn about the desolate landscape. A figure approaches, IT mirrors that of a human, however covered in shadow. Any distinct features were impossible to spot, almost as if this very being was comprised of void Ņ̴̺̼̹͒̀̔̍͝Ë̸͔́̄͗̈́ͅE̵̖̱̊̔D̵̜̄ ̵̟͎͙̫͒́̕̕Ť̵̙̖̚͝ͅÖ̴̺͈̠̯͍́ "Who are you?" L̶̥̰̪̠͚̐̔̀͝Ë̵̛͇͖̤́̓̀Ą̶̧͖͐V̷̙̔̚É̵ͅ "Wait What??" Anon awakens in a cold sweat, the rays of sun hits his eyes hard "Ah! Morning already??" The pain from his headache has been subsided but not without confusion "What was that and what did it mean that I had to leave? must've been just a nightmare. nevertheless I have to be ready to face any threat and protect everyone just in case" He jolts up and grabs his training outfit and slaps it on in a hurry "Looks like it's double the training today!"
Unexpected ExpectationsSunday finally arrives much to Anon's dismay. All morning was pacing back and forth, trying to get his mind together for the foreseeable future. "It's about 9:30 or so and I think Dash should be with Soarin now getting coffee... no doubt at Sugarcube Corner" An uneasy feeling began to fill Anon's heart, He knew what was the cause of this feeling but didn't want to accept it. Anticipation "Alright settle down man, you know that she'll tell you about it later anyway" Anon smiles to himself "After all, I'm the one taking her to dinner" Looking at the front door Anon grabs his Phone, Wallet, and Keys and heads toward the door "I'll just go for a walk to clear my head and if they aren't there I'll go grab myself some coffee" Anon opens his door, closes it behind him, locks it and heads off on his walk around town After awhile, walking around saying hi to the locals and taking a break walking to sit down at the fountain smack dab in the middle of Ponyville, Anon started to wonder around town again. Anon's mind went blank as he moved, almost as if on autopilot, His legs moving on their own brought him to a familiar location, he stopped in front of Sugarcube Corner Anon scans the windows to see anyone there and to his surprise finds the place at an empty state. He checks to see if the door is locked, It opens, surprised still Anon walks in "Hello?" "HELLO!" Says a bright cheery voice from behind the counter catching Anon off guard "You startled me back there hah" Anon places a hand on his chest, he walks toward his pink friend "Sorry bout that Nonny, to be fair you startled me too" "I did? well that is un-" "Unexpected? I KNOW! but also I was talking to you" "Me?" "No" Pinkie Pie gestures around her "You" Wait... Pinkie Pie... you talking to me? "Yes you" ... 4th wall breaking is strange in stories... catches the writer off guard too Anon looks around confused and shakes his head to regain composure "Anyway Pinkie, why is it so dead in here?" Pinkie perked up "OH! This place got reserved in the morning for two. Said something about a very important conversation so it was only them" "Rainbow Dash?" Anon asked plainly "Yeah Actually!! How'd ya know!?" "Intuition" Anon turns and leaves the establishment without getting his coffee and begins to walk home Anon walks home. His thoughts have become static. He sees his house in the small clearing away from Ponyville "At least I still have tonight" Anon stops walking and shakes his head and pats his face "C'mon man! Pull yourself together! You have tonight to tell Rainbow how you feel about her" Anon says with a forced smile and he enters his house In the few hours that have past, Anon took a cat nap, read a few pages of Daring Do, did some light shadow boxing, and took a shower to freshen up for Dash tonight "Alright!" Anon checks himself out in the mirror "Dressed nice-casual style, looking good" Anon clears his throat "Ahem Sound good" Lifts one of his arms to get a whiff *Sniff* "Smell good too I think I'm all set for this fateful night!" Anon slaps his forehead "I better not be this corny when the time comes" Anon grabs his wallet, phone and keys and heads out the door. Anon looks at the sky noticing that the sun is close to setting which is perfect dinner time "I'll fly by her house and get her then we'll go" he says as he blasts off into the sky toward Dash's Sky Mansion which is located on the other side of Ponyville He spots her house and lands on the part of the cloud that would be considered the lawn area of the abode, however lands on his back "Jeez man!" he gets up and brushes himself for possible wrinkles "Landing on a cloud is something else, don't know how I did it last time" Finally noticing where he is, Anon perks up and his heart begins to beat faster. He walks up to the door and knocks on it, which to his surprise actually feels like a wooden door somehow "What the..." He feels the door just incase he was losing it and yeah it actually felt like a wooden door "Right. I'm in a world full of magical ponies. Key word. Magic" Waiting for an answer to the knocking of the door Anon grows restless "Rainbow!! You in there!?" He yells in hopes for a response yet to no avail "Where could she be right now?" he asks himself. Anon paces back and forth until an idea came to him "Well she could be at our spot" Without hesitation Anon jumps off the Sky Castle and lands on another cloud, then uses that cloud to blast off with. Flying in the direction of the field he lands a couple hundred feet from the lake and begins to walk from there As Anon walks closer he sees Dash and Soarin hovering in the air talking about something but couldn't make out what they were saying from the distance. Anon gets closer until both of them notice his presence approaching, at which point they drop their conversation "Oh Hey Anon!" "Hey Dash, Sup Soarin" "Good evening Anon" Anon lets the awkward silence take hold for a moment before speaking up "So Rainbow did you forget about tonight?" He asks flatly Sudden realization hit Rainbow "OH SHOOT! Sorry Anon I lost track of time" She turns to Soarin and gives him a hoof bump "Soarin I have to go, got plans" Witnessing Rainbow Dash dropping a Wonderbolt so quickly took Anon by surprise and caused his stomach to jump a little "Hope you're hungry, cuz I know I am" Anon says realizing that he didn't eat anything all day "You bet I am, worked up quite the appetite" Rainbow waves at Soarin who waves back "Have a good night you two!" Soarin says as he takes to the sky in the direction of what look like Canterlot Rainbow is walking next to Anon who isn't saying too much "Soooo how about we go to that hayburger place, I hear they have really good pasta too" "Sounds good to me, so what have you guys been up to all day today" Rainbow blushes a bit and turns her head away "It's kinda a secret" she turns back and looks at Anon with a robust smile "But don't worry you'll find out soon enough" They arrive at the restaurant where they enter and promptly sit down and wait for a waiter or waitress to take orders. Soon enough orders were placed Rainbow having a Hayburger with sweet potato fries on the side with Cider as the beverage and Pasta with Alfredo sauce, a fruit salad as well as Cider for her Human companion "So tell me about your day" Anon asks fearing the response "Well first I gotta tell you a little secret" Rainbow gestures Anon to come closer "Just between you and me, I'm next in line to get interviewed to become a Wonderbolt" She whispers a little loudly trying to contain her excitement Anon leans back and puts a hand on his chest and exhales a large amount of air "Oh what a relief" "Relief?" "Oh nothing I'm really excited for you Dash, so was that the secret you couldn't tell me before?" "That's not the secret" Rainbow looks at Anon with a stern expression "But you better keep what I just told you a secret, I wanna surprise the others when I get into the Wonderbolts" Anon chuckles a little "My lips are sealed" He gestures zipping his mouth shut As the night goes on Anon and Rainbow continue discussing the events of the day minus some parts that Rainbow wanted to keep hidden which much to Anon's dismay respected anyway. They finished eating and as promised Anon paid for dinner and tipped really well per usual and they left Walking toward Rainbow's Sky Tower Dash was the first to break the silence "You know next time dinner will be on me" "Alright I'll hold you to that" Anon states with a smile as both of them approach the Cloud House floating above them "Hey Anon, I wanna hang out with you next Saturday, there's something really important I wanna talk to you about" "You don't wanna tell me now?" Anon asks with confusion in his voice Rainbow smiles and shakes her head "It's late at night goofball, plus I need to prepare first" "Prepare??" Confusion overtakes Anon Rainbow chuckles and hovers in front of Anon and places a hoof on his shoulder and looks into his eyes with half lidded ones. This only lasts for a second before she takes off toward her house "You'll see soon enough!!!" She yells as she gets further from Anon and closer to her house Anon looks up for a moment and turns to walk back toward Ponyville in the direction of his house "There was something I also wanted to tell you but I guess it'll have to wait... man that girl loves cliffhangers"
Unknown DreamStanding in front of Anon is the Mysterious Humanoid made of Void. They face each other for a moment before the Voided figure begins walking towards Anon D̴͔̔i̶͇̾s̶̖̎s̴̳͂ő̶̜n̶͚͑a̵̺̓n̴̨͝c̶̛̳e̴̬͠ The Voided figure stops in front of Anon B̸e̴t̵w̵e̸e̸n̶ ̴H̶e̵a̴r̵t̴ ̴A̷n̸d̴ ̷S̷o̶u̵l̴ "You're hell bent on me getting back home, why the sudden interest now" Anon stares blankly into the voided creature "Because I truly understand" The voided figure speaks clearly suddenly and stares blankly back at Anon A door appears behind the figure and opens to reveal a familiar looking Tree in the clearing "Home..." Anon notices and recognizes that this is the place of his origin, this is earth, this is home ".... It's awaiting you" The voided figure gestures toward the door Anon looks at the door and the only thing going through his head is what he would be leaving behind... Who he would be leaving behind "Hey... whoever you are, let me at least say goodbye..." The voided being looks down for a moment as if to contemplate a memory and returns to correct posture "You may... Please however be hasty... there's little time left..." The hazy dream state was immediately replaced with that of the living room and Anon finding himself to be standing up already. Anon realized that this was much more than a dream and some supernatural entity was trying to guide him back home of origin Anon sits on the couch with an intense surreal feeling overflowing his mind "I don't want to leave, but I think I've been gone for far too long..." Anon gets up and walks slowly to the door not opting to grab any of his belongings, leaving his phone, wallet and keys in the house He opens the door and leaves it wide open as he treads slowly to a small clearing next to his house "Where would I find a Rainbow?" He asks himself as he looks directly at the clouds in the somewhat clear sky "I'll try our usual spot maybe she's there..." Anon begins to walk in that direction, enjoying the fresh air and taking in the sites of this world as if it were his last
Ineffable LoveThere she is, on top of the familiar hill sitting next to the Tree. Lots of fond memories were made in this short time. It felt like forever ago when Anon first came to this world hoping one day he will return home. That day has finally come, but he has made family out of the friends he made here and now... he isn't ready to leave his new home... doubt he ever will Anon walks slowly up the hill, the grass crunching beneath his feet giving away his position and arrives behind Rainbow Dash "Rainbow... Can we talk for a moment?" "Oh! Anon! I uhh... Yeah" Rainbow blushes as she turns her head a little to hide it "Sorry I reacted like that" Anon seats next to Rainbow looking out over the huge field next to the familiar lake and the mountains off into the distance, taking in the view as much as he can "It's alright Dash, I am all to familiar with reactions similar to yours, I've never been good with the ladies y'know" "Wait what??" Dash turns her head to look Anon in the eyes with a look of confusion "Yeah I'm not what you would call a stud in my world, I wanted to tell you the moment I felt it in my heart, but I've literally never felt this way before... to describe what I feel for you would be --" "Impossible" Rainbow cuts Anon off There was a silence. "Yeah... Impossible" "Except, all things are possible, you taught me that" "You taught me the same thing, accidentally breaking the laws of physics and grabbing me from a different universe and all" Both of them chuckle "Anon... I lo---" Dash stands up " I wanna show you something" Without saying a word she flies into the sky at sonic speeds. She ascends to a reasonable height and takes a moment to look back at Anon. She begins flying leaving a trail of rainbow in her wake as she seemingly draws a shape in the sky. Anon stands up as he realizes what the shape is Dash finishes up her sky art and sudden realization hits Anon like a freight train. A giant rainbow heart with the Infinity symbol lies smack dab in the center of it. Rainbow looks back to Anon while floating next to her art "THIS IS HOW I SHOW MY FEELINGS!" Rainbow yells so Anon can hear her Dash without waiting for a response from a very surprised Anon flies past her creation higher into the sky. She stops when she thinks she high enough "Anon... I love you" She whispers to herself "And this is how I'm gonna tell you" She plummets towards the infinity symbol at blinding speeds and a familiar cone appears around Dash. The moment she arrives at the center point of the entire piece she preforms a Sonic Rainboom. This Sonic Rainboom was more powerful than all the others she has done thus far. The explosion rips and breaks apart the Infinity symbol along with the heart and the sky becomes as clear as a crystal Rainbow Dash lands on the ground in front of Anon and the moment she makes contact she then leaps of the ground and into Anon which he promptly catches her in his arms and embraces her in a hug "That was my way of saying I love you by the way" Anon speechless just embraces the hug with full intent "Equestria to Anon! Cat got your tongue?" Still in Anon's arms both participants just look into each other's eyes "I don't think there's any words that could describe how I feel about you or this moment... Ever" Anon chuckles and Rainbow jumps and hovers in the air next to Anon "So yeah you could say that a cat got my tongue haha" Both Rainbow and Anon sit and talk about how they felt and when and joked about most of the recent events including the slight jealousy about Soarin "You really thought that my type of stallion would be a wonderbolt?" "Well yes actually!" Anon laughs yet remains slightly serious "Well if it weren't for you being here I might've--" "Hey!" "hahaha!!" Rainbow shoulder bumps Anon "Don't worry big guy, I fell for you the same moment you fell for me" "I would say it was fate but I don't believe in predestined things or prophecy" "But it does feel like it though" "Yeah" There was a brief moment of silence Anon looks at Rainbow and he catches her attention "You know..." Anon gets closer his heart pounding Rainbow senses what is about to happen and inches closer as well her heart pounding as well "No I don't, tell me" Both of them stop for a split second before absolutely losing it in laughter at the absurdity of the reaction Rainbow just gave, especially sense it was out of character for her "You're not afraid of kissing me are ya? big guy" She says with a grin "Well you are a Pony" "So? You're a big hairless monkey" "Touché" They begin to come closer, lips centimeters apart, both able to feel the others breath, able feel each others heart without even touching yet... Then suddenly a vast pressure overcame the both of them at the same time. A chill came over Anon and his hair stood on end when he glances over and realizes what he is looking at... "It can't be" Anon stands up and freezes in a position almost ready for fight Rainbow stands up alongside Anon "You know what that thing is??" "Yes..." The voided figure approaches and stops 20 feet away and stares at both of them. Constantly releasing a dreadful pressure that both of them could feel "And N̸̠̈́o̶̟͋"
Love War and The UnknownThe once clear sky is now littered with storm clouds. The wind whipping and thrashing against everything in no particular direction. Even the color of the world seemed a little dim as the Voided figure stands there staring in the direction of the couple "Anon seriously what is that and why does it have your shape?" "Rainbow I'm not sure but we need to get out of here I'll explain once wer--" Before Anon could finish his sentence The Voided Human disappeared from view and reappeared in the air in front of Rainbow ready to throw a punch. Anon realized what was happening and at almost the same speed leaps in the air and throws a kick into The Voided Human's stomach causing it to fly backward into the lake "I don't think that thing'll let us leave Anon!" "Agreed we have no choice but to fight then! Have no idea why it's targeting you though" "What do you mean?" The Voided Human emerges from the water unfazed by the attack "No time to explain Dash" Anon leaps with phenomenal speed directly toward The Voided Human The Void charges at Anon this time readying up and they both clash fists causing gale force winds to explode in every direction from impact "Listen I know why you're here but I'm at peace here" Anon states flatly before throws a kick straight upward sending The Void into the sky Anon lands on the ground then leaps with force into the air toward his target with Rainbow following in pursuit With an unnatural movement The Voided Human stops in mid air and produces a roar that sounds unlike any creature or material thing could make. This roar vibrates the very air and with a strong ripple effect blasts Both Rainbow and Anon out of the sky and towards the ground A Voice echos throughout the area as well as within their minds "That doesn't matter... you have to return to your world regardless" "Anon" Rainbow says with worry in her voice between breaths "What does it mean by that? Why do you have to go?" Anon looks over at Rainbow with sadness in his eyes "I... I really don't know" He wipes away a tear that was beginning to form. He looks up at The Voided Being with determination and a bit of anger "But I do know that Nothing is gonna take me away from you Rainbow Dash" If it wasn't for the situation Rainbow's stomach would've had butterflies but she'll have to settle for having her heart skip a beat "I trust you! Alright let's do this!" The Voided human is now charging at Anon at full speed with an axe kick Anon backflips to avoid it, Void misses and hits the ground causing a human sized crater "Listen Rainbow I need you to get out of here" "WHAT? OF COURSE NOT!!" "Rainbow you just said you trust me right?" "... Yeah but" "NO BUTS GET OUTTA HERE" The Voided Human stands up and waves its hand and a large gust of wind rushes toward Rainbow throwing her away towards some trees in the distance. The Void Entity walks slowly toward Anon "If you do not leave this Realm... It'll be destroyed" "DASH!!" Anon charges blinded by rage and throws a haymaker at what would be it's face The Entity catches it with one hand and with it's other hand places it on Anon's chest "I understand that you have an unlimited amount of questions and all of your emotions are conflicting--" Anon looks over and sees a Rainbow trail leaving the area indicating that Rainbow has fled. Anon smiles with relief that Dash is alright and not in danger "Sure all emotions are conflicting... EXCEPT ONE!!" Anon headbutts The Entity and throws a flurry of punches and kicks However The Entity blocks and evades in stride and returns some of it's own attacks until eventually The Being lands a punch into Anon's stomach causing him to kneel in pain "Anon isn't your name..." The Entity caught Anon off guard with such a ridiculous statement Anon Scoffs in between breaths "Oh Yeah Smartass! What's my name then?!" The Being places a hand through Anon's chest causing Anon to fall the rest of the way onto the ground. The Entity kneeling still having it's hand inside Anon's chest place it's other hand inside of it's own chest "You, Me, All, have no name" Anon is slowly losing consciousness "What the hell... Are you talking about?" Time seems to slow down to a crawl as energy bursts out of both of them in a pulsating fashion, Similar to a heartbeat "Chaos and Harmony. Light and Dark. Being and Non-Being. Same and Opposite. Yin and Yang. Life and Death... All and Nothing... In all omniverse beings inherently create and destroy all things" "What does this... have to do with me" "As we speak you are destroying this universe, you have the exact same properties as a naked singularity here in this realm. If you remain... All and Nothing will be one and the same" As the energy pulses get faster a sudden explosion can be heard which catches the attention of Anon who looks up and sees a Rainbow form in the darkened sky "YOU LET GO OF HIM RIGHT NOW!!!" Rainbow announced as she attacks The Entity at full power. The Being catches her attack and is struggling to hold up while Anon is able to get free Dash emits a Rainbow energy and hits the Void Being causing him to be knocked back a couple feet, allowing both her and Anon some space "I thought you wer--" "AS IF!!" Rainbow shouted, she looks over at Anon "Listen no matter what I'm always gonna be with you, no matter where you go or what you do... I'll be there, with you" "Heh, Rainbow what would I do without ya" "Probably lose, then again you'd lose anyway cuz there's only one winner and that's me" Anon chuckles "There's that ego again" The Voided Entity begins to float "It is time to Awaken from this Dream... The Infinite Dream" Anon stands tall and looks over at Rainbow Dash before looking up at his opponent "Infinity you say? Funny" he says with a wide smile "Rainbow Dash, you ready?" Rainbow with a smile on her face looks over at Anon "Always have been, Always will be" Both Anon and Dash assume a confident attack stance simultaneously "Rainbow Dash... My Love... LET'S GO!!!" Rainbow and Anon blasted off of the ground to take to the skies for an all encompassing Battle Anon begins by throwing another flurry of punches and kicks while Rainbow flanks and begins her own flurry "TAKE THIS!" Dash tells as she continues The Entity from the waist up splits in two torsos complete with arms and a head behind blocking Dash's attack meanwhile Anon is having difficulties landing his own but manages to land only one to the side with a powerful kick sending it soaring Dash looks over at Anon "Don't let up!" Anon acknowledges her encouragement "RIGHT!" The Voided human stops and sprouts large wings made from the same void energy. The Entity now looks as if it is glitching out P̷͉̆l̵̰͋ẽ̷̥a̷̡̚ṣ̴̿e̵͚͘ ̵̯̄d̵͓̎o̵͛ͅn̸͎̈́'̶̰̇t̶̮̊ ̵̧̈d̷̠͝ö̵̤ ̵͇͠t̴̳̓ĥ̸̹ǐ̸̤s̸͚̃ As Dash and Anon are approaching they notice the wings. This causes Rainbow to latch onto Anon's back acting as his own wings "Anon I'll be your wings and speed if you provide the power" "Power you say? Thought you'd never ask!" Anon clenches his fists and concentrates as Rainbow snickers at how proud of Anon's ego she is The Voided Entity and Anon Dash clash in the sky the shockwaves of each and every point of contact rips the moisture out of the surrounding air. Lightning dances to the symphony of wind and rain being thrown in every direction by each clash. Anon Dash spins, Rainbow using her wings to hide Anon's attack which surprises The Entity and allows them to gain distance by forcing The Voided Being backwards "Rainbow let's finish this" "You said it big guy!" Anon Dash fly instantly into a Sonic Rainboom and they've never traveled this fast before. The Voided Being spreads his wings and black lightning shrieks out of them and attacks Anon Dash as time seems to slow. Anon and Rainbow split from each other, not because of the Void lightning seemingly separates them, But for their in sync thought. Anon shoot past The Entity and Rainbow charges a Sonic Rainboom in her hoof "HEY UGLY!" Rainbow yells "I'M FASTER THAN LIGHT! AND I'M FASTER THAN YOU!!!" Rainbow throws her punch and all the stored up kinetic energy and light explodes in front of The Entity even though it caught the punch with one hand "AND YOU MIGHT'VE HEARD OF ME!!" Anon yells as he approaches from the opposite direction, the clouds clearing out from behind him give way to the incoming sunlight making half the sky in Harmony while the other half remains in Chaos. Anon throws his punch and a burst of energy is released as well "IF I DON'T HAVE A NAME THEN LET ME GIVE MYSELF ONE!!" In this moment The Void Entity struggles to hold both of them back "I'M BREAKING INFINITY!!!!" The Entity envelopes Both attackers in a sphere of Darkness and they begin to crack from the inside simultaneously. They both burst open revealing each other. The Void Entity envelopes them again as well as himself in a massive sphere of darkness... Anon and Rainbow Dash are both floating in this area of void unsure of what just happened. A being made completely of light takes on a human shape in front of them. A voice echoes throughout their minds as well the void "Both of you have committed to an impossible challenge" Rainbow Dash was the first to speak "We are the impossible!" "And we won't ever stop even if it was impossible" Anon followed up The Being of Light waves a hand and cracks form in the void behind of Anon and Rainbow Dash. The cracks break open to reveal a window like opening one behind each other. Behind Rainbow was Equestria, Behind Anon was Earth Rainbow Dash's eyes dart behind Anon and sees areas that are unfamiliar to her and her eyes widen when she realizes what this Entity wants "You're not... YOU CAN'T!" Rainbow thrashes toward The Being but is stopped by a force pressure surrounding her, preventing her from even being near Anon Anon however isn't moving. He looks at Equestria and to Rainbow, then turns to meet The Being "So you weren't lying about me destroying her universe huh?" Rainbow looks at Anon shocked "What??" The Being interjects and gets between both of them "Your end isn't here" The Being lifts a hand and briefly shows the infinity symbol as it starts to crack apart but it fixes itself and disappears "Knowing that both of you loving each other would destroy everything, Would you continue fighting?" "Always... I'll be with her no matter what, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let everyone and everything get destroyed. I'll do the Impossible, I will Break Infinity and after that I will retire in her wings and be at peace" Anon states with no fear "And I will catch him no matter how many times he falls. I'll help him accomplish his crazy Dream" The Being's chest begins to form the Infinity symbol in void "Then I will await your arrival" The Being emits a wave of energy that is forcing both Anon and Rainbow Dash away from each other and towards their respected worlds "ANON!!!!" "RAINBOW!!!!" They both desperately fight this immense pressure and getting ever so closer to reaching the other. They catch and spin in mid void Anon holds her cheek "Rainbow... I will never stop till I see you again" Rainbow holds Anon's cheek with her hoof to reciprocate her feelings "Neither will I. I love you..." They inch to close the gap between each other but are ripped apart and sent into they're own worlds... "In order for you to Break Infinity... You must first become Infinitely Broken"
From Beyond The InfiniteOn a bench overseeing an expansive green field with a few trees, sits a human. He gazes upon the field with wonder as to how calm and serene everything is right now. He has faced many hardships in his life like most others had, and it's because of these hardships, he grows Looking around he sees no one around him. Realizing that, he sighs in relief that he has solitude isn't disturbed and he is free to speak amongst himself "You have always been with me. Even before we've met. Even before we were. I tried to tell others about my Challenge, my Love, my 'Dream' yet to no avail. There isn't another soul that can truly understand me as I cannot truly understand them. I shouldn't expect them to, I'm not them after all" He gets up and walks through the field slowly, passing by the trees "I'm in love with someone who isn't real" He looks at his phone and looks at images that fans have made of a character in a show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" He laughs a little at this "It's crazy that I woke up a year ago from that Fever Dream" He stops walking and is now in the center of the field Suddenly he gets into a fighting stance and practices his fighting style, Throwing punch after punch, kick after kick, then ending it with a bow. He looks up at the sky "I don't care, I'm free. I'll see you again Rainbow" He looks over at the hill with a single tree on it, The same tree that should've been destroyed now stands proud "Even if it was all just a dream, I'm still not giving up. I may not be as intelligent as some other people on this planet, and I may not be the strongest either..." "I guess you could say I'm stuck in a universe with no way to get to you. But I have at least one thing that might be the key to achieving the Impossible. And it's something we all have deep inside us..." He clenches his fist and holds it to his heart "The Drive. The Will. The Power to Never Give Up. To Never Surrender. I will continue to live life and train and do whatever I want to do as free as you are in the sky and in my heart. I will keep my Oath to you Forever" He begins to walk home and it takes him quite a while considering he stops every so often to feel the breeze and look up at the sky reminiscing. Eventually he reaches his apartment and sits down at his desk with his laptop. He opens the browser and scrolls through google searches of MLP:FIM and finds a website called FIMFiction After opening the site he realizes that it's a story site for people of similar interests post stories, some funny, some serious, and some in between "If nothing else, it would make for a story to kill time with anyway" He starts his own account and brings up a new story tab "Alright need a picture" He looks at his heart locket, opens it to look at it and ponder how this artist was able to capture this moment so perfectly "There is no better image" He finds it online and uses the image He opens and is stuck on the creation of the title for the Story. He sits contemplating to himself "How can I explain something that can't be explained? How can I tell everyone that the only limits are the ones we put on ourselves? How can I say that the strongest opponent we can ever face is within us and that it can take any shape? That our Soul can be chained by our own Heart. How do I explain how I fell in love?" He ponders "The self can be a beautiful dance of Everything and Nothing, But it can also be a storm, a battle and it's all or nothing. In a way, It's a Beautiful Storm. I'm not gonna pretend I'm a writer, I'm no writer. I just want to share a piece of my Soul maybe even break those chains binding it" He takes a moment to breath in and breath out "I know the title of the story" as he writes the title From Beyond The Infinite "Where my Heart is"
Late Night ContemplatingAnon lands on the ground in front of the pond that had been present for the entirety of the time he had spent with Rainbow and sits in front of the large pond contemplating "I have fallen in love before but..." Anon looks around to make sure he was alone lest someone thought he was crazy for talking to himself "I wonder if she feels the same way about me, I mean she spends so much time with me anyway right?" Anon sits still gazing at the water before finding a rock to through in it, disrupting the reflection of the stars above "Just the thought of asking any of my friends or family to help with this matter churns my stomach, I mean what would I say 'Hey guys I'm in love with a talking colorful Pegasus you wouldn't have any pointers would ya?' " Anon pauses to take a deep inhale and exhales with the same force Anon looks at the night sky before starting again "Relax man, you got this, even though you really didn't have any luck with the ladies doesn't mean anything now, sure you're shy but when it comes to girls but with Rainbow... She's different, I feel comfortable around her, well, before my heart was jumping out of my chest haha" Anon feels a little silly that he laughed at his own joke Just then Anon heard rustling from behind him and quickly turned around to find a certain small orange Pegasus with a purple mane "Scootaloo is that you? Why are you out so late?" "oh Anon hey umm.. I come out here sometimes heh" "Well still you shouldn't be out here so late" Anon clears his throught and realizes she might of heard him in his ramblings to himself "Sooo... how long have you been here? or did you just get here?" Anon is sweating Scootaloo spots the sweat on Anon's forehead and perks up a little "I'm not sure but it sounded something like Rainbow being different and you being comfortable with her or something like that" Anon turns back around and puts his head down for a moment in shame and lets out a small huff then stares intently at the pond once more. He looks back and gives Scootaloo a reassuring smile and pats the ground next to him. Scootaloo sits beside him "Anon... you're really fond of Rainbow Dash, aren't you?" "Yeah... I am, I uhh really like her" "Ohhhh so you like like her am I right?" "Yeah I uhh I do" "You know I'm a love doctor right I can make another one those love potions and--" "NO, you're cool, don't do that I already heard the story haha" Anon and Scootaloo let out a playful giggle "Scootaloo did you sneak out?" Scootaloo hesitated "You did didn't you..." "Yes... please don't tell my parants" "I'll tell you what, let's make a deal, I won't tell your parant's that you snuck out if you don't anypony and I mean ANYPONY about me like liking Rainbow Dash, sounds cool?" Scootaloo puts a hoof on her chin as if to think about it then chuckles a bit for the reaction Anon gave her for even thinking about "you've got yourself a deal" Both of them take a moment to indulge in the sounds of the night and stare at the stars before Scootaloo starts again "I like Dash too you know, maybe not in the way you do but I do look up to her as a big sis" "Yeah she is pretty amazing isn't she?" "Of course she is the awesomest pony around, I'm trying to grow up to be like her, flying around at super sonic speeds and doing crazy stuff... helping ponies all over the world" "Well... what's stopping you?" Scootaloo looks at her tiny wings "I overhear my parents sometimes talking about my, disability" Anon takes a look at her wings then back at her "a disability just means you're playing life on hard mode, obsticles are oppritunities to rise above and prevail, challenges are difficult but if you learn to smile in the face of adversity you will truly be unstoppable" Scootaloo's expression changed from somber to that of wonder. Anon stands up and gestures Scootaloo to stand as well "Check this out" Anon kneels then jumps with force enough to blast into the sky, While in the sky he grabs a cloud and brings it down to the ground with him and lands right in front of Scootaloo "Whoa" "I know right! I couldn't do that where I come from and look" Anon shows his back to Scootaloo "No wings what so ever" Anon turns back around and breaks apart the cloud into smaller pieces of itself and arranges them in the air in front of Scootaloo "So because I don't have wings I have to fly using what I do have, my legs and arms, I'm a martial artist so I'm capable of using my own energy and the energy around me to enhance my strength. This way I have lift off" "That is SUPER COOL!!! wait, how do you maneuver?" "That's why I broke apart these clouds" Anon points to clouds and explains "Since I don't have wings I have to kick in mid air to change direction, one way to do that is to use these clouds as a platform to jump off of and if there's any in you're way you could just-" Anon juts a fist through one of the clouds "Go right through it, not a different terrain for a strong pegasus like you huh" "That. Sounds. AMAZING! But wait how am I gonna get way up there?" "Well it is gonna take practice but I can at least teach you the basics of energy control" For the next couple hours Anon teaches Scootaloo how to focus and feel the energy around her to amplify the output of power in her legs. Before long she jumps higher than Anon's height as he promptly catches her noticing that she was about to fall face first "Whoa now" He sets down the filly "Hey you're getting good at this. keep this up and you'll end up being fastest one day" "OH YEAH!" Scootaloo jumps into Anon's arms with enough force to make him stumble backward a little "Thank you Anon I'll do my best" Scootaloo gives Anon a smile that could rival Pinkie Pie's He sets her down after sharing a chuckle with her "Hey no problem I believe anything is possible. anything" Anon kneels in front of Scootaloo and points to her wings "It's not the wings that have the power to make you fly" then her points at her chest "It's the Heart" Anon stands back up and shakes his head then places his hands on his face speacking into them "God that was so CHEESY!!" "But you're right" Anon smiles with confidence "I am aren't I haha" Anon pauses for a brief moment to look at the moon "C'mon let me get ya home, I'm sure Princess Luna will be upset if she finds out you're missing sleep" "Hey what about you?" They both start walking towards ponyville "Adults can stay up late at night, plus I didn't sneak out" "Won't happen again" "Good, meet me here every Saturday at noon, I'll help you fly"

He turns his head toward the clock as it reads 4:23am. In between harsh breathing and sweating he looks out the window and he notices that the sky has a faint glow as the sun is getting ready to rise "This nightmare has to mean something" Anon gets up and grabs a shower because of all the sweat. Afterwards he cleans up changes the sheets and goes downstairs to make breakfast "It's just a nightmare I'm sure it doesn't mean anything, plus I have more important things to think about" Anon states with annoyance. He wraps up the breakfast sandwich grabs his keys and heads out the door Anon locks the door and starts down the walkway "Still though" Anon turns and looks at the house "I don't know why but these dreams are starting to get more frequent... How do I deal with something so... Ủ̷̮n̶͖͐k̴̝͝n̸̝̐o̴͉͊w̷͎͐n̴͚̑ " Anon turns around and starts his day...
Confiding ColorSitting on the steps of his front porch Anon contemplates recent events. He rubs his face in frustration as to what his dream could mean if it meant anything at all. He glances at his house for a brief moment and turns back around "Maybe my house is haunted" Off in the distance he can hear flapping of wings "Can't mistakes this sound for anyone else" Anon chuckles to himself as Rainbow lands and approaches "What is that supposed to mean huh?" Rainbow asks playfully "It means you couldn't sneak up on anybody if you tried" Anon returns the playful banter "Oh yeah!? Don't worry when Nightmare Night comes around, you're gonna be the one I scare the most" "You'll have to compete with my dreams for that Dash" Anon laughs it off but returns quickly to a serious tone Rainbow sits directly next to him and bumps his shoulder with her own "Your dreams huh? Wanna talk about it?" "Well..." Anon hesitates "I'm having nightmares with this shadow creature that kinda looks human, It's hell bent on me coming back home" "Aren't you hoping you'd go back though" "Of course but I..." Anon stands up and walks down the steps leaving Rainbow who's still seated Anon turns around to look at Rainbow "I do miss my world very much, but I've grown attached to this world... There's something here that my world was missing" "Magic?" Rainbow asks legitimately Anon laughs a little bit "Ha no, actually you could argue that science in my world is just magic explained, and whatever we can't explain, then we call THAT magic" Rainbow giggled to herself "Alright Egghead then what is it?" Anon pauses 'This might be my chance to tell her how I feel about her... Even if she doesn't feel the same way, I don't want to live a life of What Ifs...' "Rainbow Dash... You were the missing piece of my world" There was a small silence before Rainbow responded "Anon what... what are you trying to tell me?" She asks tripping over her own words Both Anon and Rainbow gazes lock onto each others eyes "I'm in love with you Rainbow" Rainbow's face turns cherry "Anon this is... this is..." "Happening fast? yeah it was sudden for me too" "Anon I... I have to go" Rainbow gets up and make a mad dash for a clearing for her to take off Anon's heart is racing as he tries to catch up to her "DASH WAIT!!!" However she was too fast and before Anon knew it she flew off into the sky and disappeared "DAMN IT!!! I should've just kept it to myself!" Anon kicks the ground causing a clump of dirt to form on his front lawn. Anon walks back into his house and shuts it forcefully almost breaking the hinges and lunges onto the couch to retire for the day
