Author's Note

This is another instance where I thank god that pre-readers are a thing. My most recent pre-reader, a user by the name of Max Bet, pointed out a fatal flaw in as far as I know an otherwise perfect execution. This user in particular didn't find many issues with it as a whole, few grammatical errors, captivating, etc. But one of their future comments made me realize a fatal flaw in it. People didn't know what FNF was. I know that seems like a stupid mistake to make. But in my defense, FNF is an internet-wide phenomenon. There are youtubers who make dedicated content for it that have 28 million subscribers. But I guess I underestimated the vastness of the internet. So I decided to make this, a Prologue chapter that'll hopefully make the rest of the story make sense for those of you who have no idea what FNF is.

This chapter explains how bf and gf know and are friends with the Mane Six, and this chapter is heavily influenced by the official MLP mod for the game. This'll hopefully help clear some air since otherwise their friendship won't make sense to some.

This chapter is for all intents and purposes, just the official MLP mod for the game put into story form, except for a few major changes so it would fit the context of my story. I'll link it HERE if you want to look at it. Something I wanna point out is that the pony designs for bf and gf in this one are NOT what I'm using for the story, gf's is fine but bf's is cursed. The pony designs for them come from another mod based on the pinkamena creepypasta, which I'm sure everyone here will know about. I have the images of their designs already in the story so you don't have to go off site, but in case you want to see the mod these designs come from, it'll be linked HERE. Bf and Gf's designs in this one are great, much more natural and are loyal to the MLP artstyle, so they're the ones I'm using for the story.

Mild warning for language/suggestive content BTW, FNF is not a kids franchise in any sense of the word despite the impressions it may give most people. I went out of my way to make that very clear in this chapter so there's no confusion.

Without further ado, enjoy.


Prologue: FNF x MLP: Funkin is Magic

Equestria... approx. 1-2 years before the apocalypse...

"OOF!" They cried out, hitting the ground with a hard thud. Bf turned around, facing the portal that they had just been thrown out of.

"WAIT STOP! I SWEAR I WAS ONLY TOUCHING THE HIPS!" Bf yelled at the portal that closed with a pop sound behind them.

"Fuck you, you purple prick." He said, throwing the bird to the now empty space.

"Watch your mouth, that's my dad you're talking about," Gf replied, shooting him a death glare.

"Why can't he just punish me like a normal dad or something, I don't, like kick me out of the house or something." he stated, kicking at the ground.

"Well, he isn't a normal dad by any means."

"Where are we anyway?" Bf asked, looking around where they found themselves.

"Looks like some whacky forest." She replied, looking around. They were in a dark forest, where everything seemed to be either black or green. Looking behind them, they saw a path. One way led towards a colorful town from the look of it, and the other continued to lead into unending blackness.

"Hmm, left or right?" Bf asked.

"Huh, I don't know, Boyfriend. Should we pick the path leading to unending darkness, or the one leading to the end of the damn thing?" She replied, very obviously sarcastic.

"Hmm, this is a tricky one..."

"Just- let's go." She said, going left, Bf followed. They made their way down the path to the end, walking at a brisk pace. Upon exiting the forest, they spotted 2 things. The first was a city, the tallest buildings just visible beyond the horizon. Much closer, however, sat a mare with a blue coat and light-blue mane, eyes transfixed on a book sat in front of her. They continued their walk towards the town on the horizon, simply ignoring the mare until they walked past her.

"GAHH!!" She screamed upon seeing them, before curling into a ball, using her book as an impromptu shield.

"Wha-What are you?!" She yelled at the two, who had been equally startled and frightened by the mare's outburst.

"What do you mean? We're just walking!" GF shouted back, she and BF having retreated a few feet. They stared at each other for a few seconds, both parties afraid to move, fearing what the other would do. Eventually, the tension in the air lifted, and the fear was replaced by the curiosity of the other. The mare slowly picked herself up, before moving closer to the two once she knew there was no threat.

"What are you?" she asked again rhetorically. She circled the two, scanning them up and down while they did the same to her. After a few seconds, she walked away, picking up the book she had been reading in an aura of magic, now quickly flipping through the pages as if searching for something.

"Um... Hi." GF started, breaking the silence that had been looming up until then. "I'm GF, and this is BF." She stated. It seemed to fall on deaf ears, the mare continuing to furiously flip through the pages of her book.

"Aha!" She shouted, startling the two of them "A transformation spell!" She shouted. She laid the book down in front of her, taking another glance at the page she was on. "Trixie needs a favor from the two of you."

"Huh, so that's her name" the two thought to themselves. "Why is she talking in the third person?"

"And that would be?" GF asked Trixie.

"Hold still" she stated, before her horn began to glow, her eyes still transfixed on the book.

"Woah Woah Woah," GF said, moving herself and BF farther away. "What do you want to do to us?"

"Ugh" Trixie huffed "Trixie wants to try a new spell on the two of you. I may not know what you are but that doesn't mean anything."

"Um... No." GF replied, moving herself and BF even farther away.

"Please?!" Trixie replied, galloping up to the two before getting on her knees and putting her forehooves up in a begging motion.

"Why?!"

"Because" Trixie started, getting back up, "Trixie needs the practice to defeat her arch nemesis, Twilight Sparkle!" She shouted, standing up on her hind hooves for dramatic effect.

The two paused for a moment, having no idea what this "Trixie" was talking about. Seeing their conflict, Trixie walked back up to them.

"Please, Trixie promises you'll be fine." She said, giving the two a look similar to puppy-dog eyes. GF looked over her shoulder at BF, searching for his approval. He shrugged his shoulders, in a motion that said "I guess?"

"sigh, fine." GF replied.

"Yay!" Trixie shouted, running over and grabbing her book. Her horn began to glow, her eyes on the pages of the book. "Now, hold still, this won't hurt a bit, I think."

"Wait, WHAT!" GF shouted, but it was too late, the two were consumed by an aura of magic, before losing consciousness.

When they woke up it couldn't have been more than a few minutes. The two were laying on their backs, the sun beaming down on them.

"Huzzah! It worked!" They heard Trixie shout, followed by her doing a happy dance in front of them. "Sparkle won't stand a chance when I return!" They still had no idea what she was going on about but went with it. GF tried to stand up but quickly fell flat on her face. A similar thump from behind her indicated that BF was having the same problem.

"Huh?" She asked out loud. Looking down, she found that her hands, or anything else human for that matter, were no longer there. The realization hit her like a truck. She did a double and then a triple take, realizing how similar she and BF's bodies were to Trixie's now.

^^^ (GF's pony design) (Her cutie mark is a speaker)

"Wha-what did you do to us?!" She asked.

"What, you consented to it," Trixie replied, stopping her happy dance. GF was miffed, but at the same time they did consent to it. She attempted to get up again, falling flat again.

"Oop, here, I'll help," Trixie said, reaching a forehoof toward her. She helped GF find her bearings on all fours, before helping BF do the same.

^^^ (BF's pony design)

"This feels weird," GF stated. She tried to take a step forward, only to fall again. BF was in a similar predicament, each of his legs shaking like they'd give out from under him.

Trixie tapped a hoof to her chin. "Perhaps this will be more difficult than Trixie thought..."

Over the next few hours, Trixie attempted to teach the two how to do the basics, mainly walking as that seemed to be their weakest point, the two have used two feet their entire lives until now.

"No, you're doing it wrong"

"No, that's not it either"

sighs "No, that's not- just watch me."

There was a lot of back and forth between them as Trixie attempted to teach them how to use their new bodies, and it was much more difficult than Trixie first thought. Eventually, though, they got there, and the two were ready to continue their journey toward the city they had seen over the horizon before meeting Trixie. The two started ~~walking~~ trotting off, but before they got too far GF turned around to say something to Trixie.

"Hey, Trixie! Why don't you come with us?" Trixie paused for a moment to find the right words to explain her current predicament.

"Sorry, but Trixie can't" she started, starting to sweat "Trixie has to finish her book! Yeah..."

BF and GF exchanged confused looks before GF replied. "Okay, Trixie! Thank you! You're a good friend!"

Her last sentence made Trixie freeze, unable to reply to a statement like that. "How could they want to be friends with Trixie after what she did?" She thought to herself. She turned to reply but found that the two had already started towards Ponyville. She sat, both confused and happy at the thought of the two wanting to be her friends. She shook her head, she had a nemesis to beat, after all, and she couldn't let friendship get in her way of taking vengeance on Sparkle...

"There seems to be an abundance of colorful quadrupeds," Bf stated. They had now reached the city that they had seen in the distance when they got here. And indeed there was, in fact, an abundance of quadrupeds similar to the one they'd met earlier.

They looked around for a few seconds, taking in the colorful cityscape that surrounded them.

"Hey! You must be new here! I'm Twilight Sparkle!" They were pulled from their look around by a voice behind them. Turning around they saw another mare with a similar build to the one they earlier, except this one was completely purple, a few different shades, sure, but all purple. She also had a cutie mark of a purple star, smaller white stars surrounding it.

"Hmm, so this is the Twilight that Trixie talked about" GF thought, "Wonder what the beef there is about." GF was about to open her mouth to introduce themselves to, apparently, Trixies arch nemesis, when they were interrupted by yet another voice.

"OH, MY-

BRAND!

NEW !!

FACES!!! You know what that means!"

Said voice was loud enough that it felt like their eardrums would burst, Twilight, on the other hand barely flinched. The one this voice belonged to was all pink, with a cutie mark of 3 balloons.

"Uh... No?" GF replied.

"A welcome to Ponyville song!" With this sentence BF perked up, the thought of being able to show off to some new faces a very enticing offer.

OST: Smile! (BF vs. Pinkie Pie)

Being able to perform in front of a new crowd gave BF a euphoric feeling, despite how strange this place seemed compared to everywhere else they'd been. To his surprise, Pinkie had no troubles keeping up with him, a small crowd starting to gather as they were doing this in the middle of the road. Part of him wanted to stop going easy and just mop the floor with her, but he decided against it as this was just a friendly battle, he didn't get many of those. 90% of the time there was always something big at stake, so it was nice to just unwind and have fun.

2 minutes later...

"Golly! Who knew your boop beeps could sound so BANGIN!" Pinkie exclaimed. "But that was just the beginning. Everypony here has had a welcome to Ponyville party! And now it's your turn!"

OST: Fun! (BF vs. Pinkie Pie)

Another 2 minutes later

"Ooh boy! That was a doozy!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Wanna have that 'welcome to ponyville' party now?"

BF looked behind himself to see if GF wanted to, or if she just wanted to go home. One quick look told him she wanted to stay, a huge smile on her face as if she couldn't wait. BF turned back towards Pinkie, giving her a head nod to say "yes."

"Oooooo yay!" She exclaimed. "Stay here, I have to get it ready!" She ran off, where? Neither of the two knew, and after a few seconds it became a bit awkward. The two just stood there, not really knowing what to do. They were about to walk off, presumably to find Pinkie. But before they could, a massive gust of wind him them, accompanied by what could only be described as a rainbow blur. Said gust of wind blew BFs hat away, as well as nearly making the two fall over. Many of the others standing around also felt the shockwave, but BF got it the worst.

His head swam for a few seconds as he tried to get his balance back, before looking for what had caused such a shockwave. In front of him stood another mare, this one blue, with a rainbow-colored mane and tail, a cutie mark of a rainbow lightning bolt emblazoned on her side.

"Rainbow, what are you doing?" Twilight asked from a few meters away. Now he had a name, this one was called "Rainbow."

"What? Did you really think I'd let Pinkie have all the fun?" Twilight responded with an eye-roll.

"So" BF was brought back to reality as Rainbow talked to him, "You ready for a real challenge?" Immediately he knew what was about to happen, and gave his new opponent a smug grin to say "You're on." His opponent returned his look with one of her own, bracing herself as if she was about to race.

OST: (name doesn’t make sense) by Tridashie

“UGH!” Rainbow shouted after they were done. This took BF back a bit, and he showed that, taking a few steps back. Rainbow noticed this and quickly shook her head. This was the first time he’d seen someone get mad here.

“Sorry.” She stated, sort of shrinking a bit, before her look of determination returned. “One more time, and this time, no going easy!”

OST: Rainbow Tylenol by Tridashie (BF vs. Rainbow Dash)

To her credit, his opponent wasn't joking about being more of a challenge. He wasn't expecting a skill level like this from beings he'd only just met. He wasn't complaining though, he loved a challenge as much as his opponent apparently did.

"Ha! That was pretty good!" Rainbow exclaimed, him answering with a flip of his mic in the aura it floated in. Despite the fact he'd beaten her, she seemed to take it in stride. There seemed to be a trend of the locals here being overly friendly. This was a very nice break for him, friendly faces back home were kinda hard to come by. He was too used to the idea of anyone he battled becoming overly angry. If he had to guess, probably about 40% or more of his battles resulted in opponents being angry to the point they would just straight up try to kill him. Perhaps this world wasn't as bad as he'd originally thought.

"So, what's your name?" Rainbow asked, once again shaking BF from his thoughts. He wasn't quite sure how to answer that. Of course he could just tell her his name, but he'd never been much of a talker. Luckily, GF answered for him.

"Oh! I'm Girlfriend, and this is my Boyfriend, Boyfriend!"

"Huh? Those are some odd names." Rainbow replied. "How about I just call you BF and GF?"

BF shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay then" Twilight interrupted, "I'm sure you two have had fun doing this, but I'm sure you want to have a look around here. You've already met me, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. How about I introduce you to the rest of my friends?"

"Okay!" GF said, "I can't wait to see more of this place!" BF couldn't help but notice how gung-ho GF was about this place. Yeah, he liked it too, but he'd rarely ever seen her this happy before coming here. He was never one to stop her from being happy, so he was more than fine tailing GF as she followed Twilight, picking up his hat on the way out.

They trotted through the town, Twilight and GF carrying a conversation, presumably Twilight telling her all about the place. He didn't pay them much attention, preferring to look around himself. This place was wild, but not too far off from what his was like, in his everything from regular guys like him to demons like GF existed, so there wasn't much that surprised him, though he did note just how upbeat everything was. He had yet to find anyone in a bad mood.

"And this is where my friend Fluttershy lives!" Twilight said, again pulling BF from his thoughts. Looking around, he realized that in his daze he hadn't kept track of how far they'd gone. Now they stood in front of a large tree-looking house in a more wooded area. To his surprise Twilight didn't bother knocking or anything like that, she just waltzed in, apparently security wasn't an issue here either.

The first thing he noticed was the sheer amount of animals living inside. It was like a zoo, his eyes went wide the more he watched all of them scuttling around, a bunny going under he and GF.

"Fluttershy? It's me Twilight!" Twilight called into the seemingly empty home, save for all the animals. After a few seconds, a butter colored mare with a pink mane and tail stepped out, a cutie mark of 3 butterflies adorned on her flank.

"Hello." Fluttershy replied in a weak tone. "Guess that's why she has "shy" in her name" BF thought.

"Are they new?" She asked Twilight.

"Yes they are, in fact they haven't even been here a few hours." She said, looking over at the two. "BF over here doesn't talk much, his Girlfriend on the other hand..." She said, looking at GF with a playful smile.

"Hey!" GF said, waving a hoof in the air.

"What kind of cutie mark is that?" Fluttershy asked. Honestly BF hadn't given that much thought before she asked, but looking behind himself he saw a mic emblazoned on him. How fitting.

"BF here sings! It's very unconventional I must admit but I like it." Twilight said. Just then a thought flashed through his mind, and without much thought his levitated his mic out of the satchel on his side before walking closer to Fluttershy, making a gesture to indicate he was challenging her.

"Oh no, I don't sing very good..." Fluttershy responded, backing away from him a little.

"Don't be scared Fluttershy, he means no harm, besides, Pinkie and Rainbow have already done it."

Fluttershy eyed BF for a few seconds before gulping. "O-Okay."

"Yay!" GF cheering, lifting a hoof in the air.

OST: Dr Fluttershy by Tridashie (BF vs. Fluttershy)

At first Fluttershy was very cautious about it, BF had never seen someone be this nervous with him, even though he genuinely meant no harm and just wanted to have fun. After a little bit though, the beat seemed to get to her, and she started to unravel from the bind she'd put herself in. The two went at it, briefly forgetting that Twilight and GF were watching, just living in the moment.

"Yay! See, that wasn't so bad was it?" Twilight asked after it was over.

"No. I suppose it wasn't." Fluttershy replied, before turning to BF. "Thank you, that was fun." She smiled, BF returning the gesture.

"Now that that's done, do you wanna come with us to the party Pinkie is throwing for these two?" Twilight asked.

"Yes." She replied.

The now group of 4 made their way back through town, stopping at a place BF had been told was called Sugar Cube Corner. Inside there was a medium large gathering of ponies, all of whom turned to look at the 4 as they entered. BF did not like the sudden attention, and began to back away, only to be pulled back in by a familiar pink hoof.

"Where are you going, silly?" Pinkie asked, "The parties this way!" She dragged him back in, his face becoming one of annoyance.

Once inside he was very rapidly introduced to everyone there, the sheer speed at which Pinkie introduced them he wondered if was actually faster than he could sing. “This is Applejack!” She stated.

“Howdy.” The mare said, this one was orange with a yellow mane and tail, a mark of three apples present on her side, a cowboy-style hat on her head. “Hmm, a country type.” he thought to himself.

“This is Rarity!”

“Hello darling.” This one was white, probably the whitest one he’d yet seen. She seemed to really take care of herself, her mane and tail were done up very well, and he couldn’t spot a single imperfection oh her despite her white coat. On her flank sat three diamonds, all shimmering. Well, now he knew who to ask for fashion advice.

Those were the only ones he could keep up with before Pinkie started going too fast. He attempted to gesture that to her but to no avail. At one point he wondered if she could talk faster than he could rap!

Before he knew it he’d been rapidly introduced to at least a few dozen more ponies, and was quickly grabbed by a hoof and dragged over to a bar.

"So, what do you wanna order? It's on me!" Pinkie said, in response, BF once again levitated his mic between the two, gesturing with it to Pinkie.

"Again? You can't get enough can you?" Pinkie said followed by a laugh. "Okay, one last one, an encore!" She shouted, grabbing the attention of everyone there.

OST: Eye Candy by Tridashie (Pinkie Pie vs BF)

The two went for one last round, the one who he had been told was named Apple Bloom sitting on the barstool between them. The crowd watched and vibed with the two as they went. BF had to admit, he was having a lot of fun here, new faces, aka opponents, a friendly vibe and welcoming atmosphere. As nice as this place had turned out to be, he was still looking forward to going home. This place almost seemed too perfect.

Eventually he had lost track of time, and before he knew it it was almost night. He didn’t really do much, now GF on the other hand... he’d never seen her have so much fun. He hated to ruin it but he was really looking forward to going home. He went inside, whispering that into her ear. She deflated a bit but understood, telling everyone there that they had to leave.

“Aww, you’re leaving already!” Pinkie lamented.

“Sorry, but we do need to leave, I don’t want my parents getting worried.”

“Okayyy...” Pinkie again lamented. “We’d love to see you again soon!”

After some goodbyes, where some, especially Pinkie, were sadder than others, they quickly departed, heading towards the outskirts of town to leave.

Once they were there, GF made a small portal for them to go through, and one after the other they walked in, greeted by a familiar cityscape upon exiting.

“I don’t know about you, but I need a nap.” BF said.

GF chuckled, “let’s go home.”

“Yeah, yeah I’d like that.” The two held hands, before heading off towards home.

a few days later...

“SPARKLE!” Trixie bellowed, attracting the attention of said mare. Across her neck laid a strange amulet...

The end...

Right?

R16HT?!
