Chapter 1: Ponies of the park

It was a typical day in South Park, Colorado. The sun was shining, the snow was ice cold, and a new kid had moved into town. His name is Hector Parker, and he was on a quest, a quest of friendship. It sounds cheesy, but he was living in a redneck town so he started this mission for a reason.

“Okay, the internet says this neighborhood is full of kids, but I don’t think that means my quest will be easy,” said Hector, as he took a walk outside of his ‘house’.

While he was walking around the neighborhood, he bumped into four boys around his age. Their names were Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick.

“Hey guys look, it’s the new kid,” said Stan, as he pointed at Hector. “Hey kid, what’s your name?”

“I’m Hector Parker. Me and my family just moved to this town,” said Hector. “What are your names?”

“I’m Stan. This is Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny,” said Stan, as he pointed to his friends. “You wanna hang out with us?”

“Woah, hold on Stan! You want to add a member to our group without letting us take the time to get to know him. Isn’t that a little concerning?” asked Cartman.

“Just ignore captain fatass, he thinks our group isn’t worthy of new friends,” said Kyle, causing Cartman to throw a rock at him. “Ow! What the hell was that for?!”

“You know damn well what you said jewboy,” said Cartman. He then faced Hector. “So, are you joining our group or not?”

“Sure, I could use a friend group,” said Hector. “So, what’s on the agenda for today?”

“We were going to play kingdom of Zaron, someone lost the stick of truth,” said Stan, pointing at Kenny. “Because of that, we’re going out into the woods to look for a new stick of truth. If you want to come with us then that’s fine, but it might be a long trip so you might want to pack some stuff for the road.”

“Way ahead of you,” said Hector, who packed his backpack while Stan was talking. “I took the liberty of asking your parents for your backpacks.”

“(Thanks dude),” said Kenny, in his muffled voice. “(To the woods).”

Once the five boys were in the woods, they all started looking for the perfect replacement for the stick of truth. “How about this one?” asked Hector, holding a sixteen inch stick, with a little leaf on the top.

“That’s perfect,” said Stan. “Alright, we found the perfect stick, but since we have some time to spare, I guess we can explore the forest while we’re here.”

As the boys searched the forest for something interesting, Hector found something unusual. It was an old looking door, with carvings of what appear to be ponies. “Hey guys, check out this weird looking door,” said Hector, as his new friends showed up next to him. “What do you think is behind this door?”

“(Maybe it’s a parallel universe),” said Kenny.

“Or a place where being a hippie is against the law,” said Cartman, causing everyone to give him weird looks. “What? A kid can dream, can he?”

“Well, whatever’s behind this door is probably gonna be boring, so we might as well go home,” said Kyle.

“Yeah, but it could also be something dangerous. Maybe we should leave it closed,” said Stan.

“We could do that. But on the other hand, we won’t know if it’s dangerous unless we either open it and wait for something to come out, or we can open it then go inside if nothing happens,” said Hector. The five friends nodded in agreement, as Hector (without hesitation) began to slowly open the door. “Looks like the darkness consumed this room, let’s go inside and take a closer look.”

The five boys then walked into the room, all the while chills went down their spines. Suddenly, a magical force closed the door and began pulling the five friends down a spiraling path, causing them to scream in terror.

Somewhere, in another world…

After what seemed like forever, the five friends landed in a dark cave where they regained consciousness. “Ugh, my head hurts,” said Stan, as he rubbed his head with (what he assumed was) his fist. “Is everyone alright?”

“I think so, but for some reason I can only walk on all fours,” said Hector, who (along with the others) was walking on all fours. “Let’s get the fuck out of this cave.”

As the five friends walked out of the cave and into the sunlight, they made a surprising discovery. They turned into… ponies (more specifically, colts). “AHHH! PONY FACE!” yelled Stan, as he looked at his reflection in a puddle of water. He turned to his friends, which made them realize the same thing. “Holy crap! We’re all ponies!”

(In case you’re wondering, Stan and Hector are unicorns, Cartman and Kenny are pegasi, and Kyle’s an earth pony.)

Cartman, Kyle, and Kenny started freaking out, while Hector started breathing heavily for a minute. “Okay, let’s try not to panic. Everybody take a deep breath and let it out,” said Hector, which seemed to calm everyone down. “Okay, now that we’re all calmed down, let’s go look for someone to ask for help.”

While the five friends walked through the forest, they started talking about their lives and getting to know each other. After about two minutes, the five friends found a small town inhabited by other ponies. “Oh great, we found queersville USA,” said Cartman, who was bored after all the walking. “Do you think they have any food? I’m so fucking hungry.”

“Why don’t you and Kenny fly over us to see what it's like,” said Stan, to which Cartman and Kenny used their wings to get a better look at the town.

“(It’s a town full of ponies of different sizes, ages, and colors),” said Kenny, as he and Cartman flew back to the ground. “(Let’s go see if anyone can help us).”

The five colts eventually made it to the town, where they were looking for someone to ask for directions. “Why don’t we ask her?” asked Hector, pointing to a pink earth pony with a poofy pink mane. “Excuse me, can you please tell us where we are?” The pink pony just gasped and ran away. “Okay, that was weird. Let’s ask someone else.”

“But what if they ask about our parents?” asked Kyle.

“That’s easy, I already made up a backstory for us,” said Hector. “You guys come from abusive families, and you ran away to get away from them. Meanwhile, I was put in a foster home, and I ran away because they didn’t care about me.”

“Okay, that could work. Let’s find someone to ask,” said Stan, as he looked for someone (or somepony) to ask for directions. He then spotted a purple pony with wings and a horn. “Let’s ask her, she seems important.”

The five colts then walked over to the winged unicorn (hoping that there was a better word for that). “Um, excuse me, can you please tell us where we are?” asked Hector, which got the purple pony’s attention. “We’re lost and we don’t know where we are?”

“Of course, you’re in ponyville. You colts must be new around here, because I’ve never seen you before,” said the purple pony. “My name is Twilight Sparkle. What are your names?”

“I’m Stan Marsh,” said Stan.

“Eric Cartman, but you can call me Cartman,” said Cartman.

“I’m Kyle Broflovski,” said Kyle.

“(My name is Kenny McCormick),” said Kenny.

“And I’m Hector Parker,” said Hector. He then noticed that Twilight had a horn and wings. “Um, not to be rude or anything, but why do you have wings and a horn?”

“Oh, it’s because I’m an alicorn. I was born a unicorn, but I got these wings when I became a Princess,” said Twilight Sparkle, causing the five colts to bow mockingly. “You don’t have to bow, though. Anyways, are your parents nearby or is it just you five?”

“P-parents?” said Cartman, followed by him and his friends crying.

“What’s wrong?” asked Twilight, sounding concerned.

“C-cartman, Kyle, Kenny, and I lived with abusive families, but we r-ran away to get away from them because they were going to euthanize us,” sobbed Stan, who's clearly done this before. “A-as for Hector, he l-lived in a foster home with a mean provider, and he ran away because she was going to k-kill him.”

“Oh you poor little things. I didn’t know your lives were that bad,” said Twilight. “Don’t worry, I’m going to find each of you a home that you’ll be happy with. But first, you might want to see what my friend Pinkie Pie did for you.” She then walked inside (what the colts assumed was) her castle, as the five friends waited.

“Damn dude, that’s like the sixth time that’s worked,” said Stan.

“This is the tenth time for me,” said Hector. Just then, Twilight peeked out the door.

“Okay colts, you can come in now,” said Twilight, as she led the five colts inside a dark room. When she turned on the lights, it revealed a bunch of ponies of many different colors.

“Surprise!” shouted everypony. Just then, the pink earth pony from earlier hopped her way to the five colts.

“Hi there, my name is Pinkie Pie, what are your names?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“I’m Hector. This is Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny. We’re all new in town,” said Hector.

“Nice to meet you all. I saw you earlier and realized ‘I’ve never seen these colts before, I’ll throw them a party to welcome them to ponyville’. And while I was getting the party ready, Twilight told me your sad backstory, so I thought you’d feel so lonely after running away for so long,” said Pinkie Pie, talking faster than Quicksilver running in a marathon. She then regained her breath, and began talking again. “I just hope you enjoy this party, because I know that a party can cheer anypony up.”

“Well, thank you for the party. Come on boys, let’s have some fun,” said Stan, followed by the five colts partying like there was no tomorrow. Stan watched Trixie’s magic act (to see how bad it was), Kyle shared stories about his religion with some of the ponies (who thankfully didn’t know what he was talking about), Cartman chugged down the punch as other ponies cheered, and Kenny was flirting with some of the mares at the party.

As for Hector, he was still wondering about the portal that brought him and his friends to this place. His train of thought was interrupted when he accidentally bumped into a filly his age, causing his glasses to fall off. “Oh my, I’m so sorry. I didn’t see ya there,” said the filly in her country accent, as she placed Hector’s glasses on him. The filly was yellow with a red mane and a bright red bow in her hair. “Hi, I’m Apple Bloom. What’s your name?”

“I’m Hector Parker. Apparently, me and my friends are the guests of honor,” said Hector, trying his best not to gloat. “So, what brings you here, other than the invitation?”

“Well, I overheard Twilight talking to Pinkie Pie about your situation, and I thought I would cheer you up by, you know, being your friend,” said Apple Bloom, who started blushing. “By the way, before I forget, do you by any chance have a girlfriend?”

“Not anymore, my ex-girlfriend tried to get me to rob banks with her before I finally got the guts to break up with her,” said Hector, who was also blushing. “Other than that, I’m single. Why do you ask?”

“Just out of curiosity. I was also thinking that we should hangout if you’re not busy,” said Apple Bloom.

“I’d like that,” said Hector, who (without warning) gave Apple Bloom a kiss on the cheek, causing both of them to blush bright red. “See ya later.” He then met up with his friends, before Twilight and her friends walked towards them. “Hey Twilight, who are your friends?” Twilight then gestured for her friends to introduce themselves.

“The name’s Rainbow Dash,” said Rainbow Dash, in a raspy voice.

“Howdy, my name’s Applejack,” said Applejack, in a country accent.

“You already met me,” said Pinkie Pie.

“My name is Rarity,” said Rarity, in a slight British accent (with a hint of French).

“Oh, and um, I’m Fluttershy,” said Fluttershy, in a nervous tone of voice. “We all heard about your backstory, it must’ve been so hard on you poor little things.”

“It was, but now we just want a place to stay until we get back on our… hooves,” said Hector, who is used to saying hands instead of hooves.

“Which is why I made living arrangements for each of you,” said Twilight, as she pulled out a list. “Cartman will stay with Rainbow Dash, Kyle will stay with Pinkie Pie, Stan will stay with Fluttershy, Kenny will stay with Rarity, and Hector will stay with me. And as a bonus, you five can take turns helping Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres, mainly because I didn’t want Applejack to feel excluded.”

“And I thought Rarity was the generous one,” said Applejack, causing the others to chuckle.

“Anyways, once this party is over, you colts will be staying at the homes you were assigned. Any questions?” asked Twilight, followed by Hector raising his hoof. “Yes, Hector.”

“I have two questions: One, do you have any chili dogs? I'm really craving some chili dogs. Two, if you do have chili dogs, can I go to bed after I finish eating?” asked Hector.

“First off, yes we have chili dogs, but it's vegan meat,” said Twilight, as she handed Hector two chili dogs, which he happily ate. “Second, when you're done eating, I’ll lead you to the room you’ll be sleeping in.”

Suddenly, Hector was done with his chili dogs, letting out a small burp. “Excuse me,” said Hector, followed by Twilight leading him to the guest bedroom. “Thanks for letting me stay here Twilight. Who’d have thought that I would be staying in the castle of a princess.”

“Sometimes things just happen whether we expect them or not,” said Twilight, as she tucked Hector in his new bed. She then put his glasses on the nightstand, turned off the lights, and went to close the door. “Good night Hector.” She then closed the door.

“Good night,” said Hector, as he drifted off to sleep.
