Adventures in The Fairly OddParents: Abra-Catastrophe

The wild ride through the portal was becoming slowly better for the Mane 5, Sparky and Misty, but the fillies screamed and shrieked in terror as they went through the tunnel of blinding light. Soon the ride ended, and everypony collapsed into a huge pile on some cold concrete. “You know…” Zipp groaned. “You would think the ride would get less bumpy and we would land more on our hooves.”

“Ugh…” Hitch put a hoof to his head as he stood up, and then, once he got a good look as to where they were, his eyes widened. “Guys… either we’re in a human-version of Zephyr Heights… or I don’t know what this place is.”

In the ponies’ eyes, it looked like a bustling human city, where the air was nice and warm, and the people seemed to go about their everyday lives without really paying much attention to them. Nevertheless, they moved to an alleyway nearby to avoid being seen. “What is this place?” Misty asked. “Hang on,” Pipp pulled out her phone. “I’ll do a search by image.”

She stuck her hoof out of the alley and took a picture of the street, putting it into the search engine of her phone and letting the website pop up. “According to this other-worldly website,” she said, “it looks like we’re in some town called… Dimmsdale. Oooh... hooftag mysterious and trendy!”

“Wow… it looks like Zephyr Heights, but on the ground!” Glory said, pointing to the tall buildings above them. “Look at all those buildings!”

“So… what do we do now, Sunny?” Seashell asked curiously. “Now, we… uh…” Sunny chuckled nervously-- what did they do next? They never really followed any sort of pattern with these adventures, so it was hard to tell. “Let’s see if there’s anyone who needs to solve a friendship problem around… or at least look for something magical,” the earth pony/alicorn said. “That ought to get us somewhere.”

Meanwhile, back in Equestria, Opaline had watched the group exit the portal and saw they were now moving through Dimmsdale in a stealthy manner. “Here those pathetic ponies go again, going to another world to help with some sort of calamity,” she sighed. “Unfortunately, I am too weak from the previous battle to follow them. However… I might be able to have someone in this ‘Dimmsdale’ place be my underling for the time being.”

She then took out a locket that was similar to the one that she gave Misty not long ago, and tossed it into her viewing pool. “Hopefully, some stupid little idiot will find this,” Opaline muttered, “and they will help me destroy those ponies once and for all, so Equestria will be MINE!!!! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”

The ponies had been wandering the alleyways of Dimmsdale for quite a while now, and they were beginning to get tired, hungry and confused. Why hadn’t they found any sort of friendship problem or why hadn’t they seen anything magic-related yet? Sunny wasn’t giving up hope, though-- she knew that the Unity Crystals had sent them there for a reason. They just had to keep looking.

They soon arrived on a quiet street with not much activity, where one house caught their attention. The exterior of the house was painted white, with a red-colored roof, a chimney running up the right side of the house, and a satellite dish and garage on the left. There was some nice plant life on the front of the house, too-- not really striking their fancy as exciting. “Come on, ponies,” Sunny said. “Let’s keep moving. I don’t think there’s anyting worth looking at here. Pippsqueaks, stay behind Pipp and Zipp.”

The three fillies nodded, but as the group walked down the sidewalk again, Seashell stopped her friends, causing them to become confused. “W-What are you doing, Seashell?” Peach Fizz asked. “We’re supposed to stay with Pipp and her friends.”

“Still… I can’t help but feel there’s something… off with this house. And if we find out what, maybe Pipp and the others will let us come with them on another mission someday!” Seashell said. “Come on! Let’s go see!”

“...I have a bad feeling about this…” Glory sighed, but nevertheless, she and Peach Fizz followed Seashell over the white picket fence and into the front yard of the house. It seemed pretty standard on the outside, but on the second level, there seemed to be some kind of laughter. “Listen… up there!” Peach Fizz said, pointing to the window on the second level. “Let’s go see who’s up there. Maybe they have a friendship problem we can help solve.”

Glory unfurled her wings and flew up to the window while Peach Fizz used her horn to levitate herself up there and Seashell used a springy flower to bounce her way onto the roof. That’s when the three peered inside the window and gasped at what they saw.

Inside the room (a bedroom more specifically) there was a young human boy, playing volleyball with two beings that had small wings, crowns floating above their heads and wands within their reach. The boy had tan skin, brown hair, bright blue eyes, a pink hat and shirt and dark blue pants, while the beings, which Seashell remembered seeing in a book once (called fairies) each had their own looks:

• The male had green hair, green eyes, a white shirt with a black tie and black pants.
• The female had pink hair that had a curl at the end, pink eyes, a yellow shirt and black pants.

All three of them seemed to have a good time, unaware that the three little ponies were watching them. “Guys! Move over!” Peach Fizz jumped up to see the boy and the fairies. “I can’t see! I can’t-- WHOA!!”

Peach Fizz accidentally landed on Seashell and Glory, causing them to fall through the window without breaking it and landed on the floor in front of them. This seemed to catch the boy and his fairies offguard, and the pink one quickly used her magic wand to make the volleyball supplies disappear. “Whoa-- where did these little horses come from?” the boy wondered. “We’re not horses!” Glory shook her head. “We’re ponies.”

“Ponies, horses, who cares? They’re still four-legged,” the green haired fairy shrugged. The fillies soon became nervous-- what should they do now?

“All right, guys-- I think I see an older house up ahead, and it looks like nopony’s home,” Hitch said as the others continued to walk down the sidewalk. “We can rest there until we can find our friendship/magic problem.”

“Yeah, let’s--” Misty managed to look back after a moment, and seeing no sign of the Pippsqueaks caused her to gasp. “Oh no! Pipp! The fillies! They’re gone!”

“WHAT?!” Pipp looked around frantically. “Where could they have gone?” Sunny wondered. “They were right behind us!”

“I don’t know, but don’t worry-- we’ll find them before they get off too far in a human world where they could be hunted down,” Zipp said. “We’ll backtrack and see if they accidentally got separated from us a little down the road. Knowing those three, they’ll probably stay right where we last saw them.”

Glory, Seashell and Peach Fizz sat on the human boy’s bed, looking a little scared as the fairies brushed off the dirt and dust that was on them from their little collision. “There you go, sweeties,” the girl fairy said. “Do you feel better?”

“A little… thanks,” Peach Fizz gave a shy smile. “Sorry we crashed into your window. We thought we saw some magical activity in here, and we wanted to see if it was the thing we were called to help with… well, with Pipp and her friends.”

“It’s okay-- we’re kinda used to the whole magical creatures coming out of nowhere thing,” the boy said with a smile. “I’m Timmy Turner, and these are my fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda.”

“Hello, little horsies! I mean, ponies! I-I mean…” Cosmo stammered, but the fillies giggled midst the stammers. “Don’t worry about it,” Seashell said. “I’m Seashell, and these are my best friends, Peach Fizz and Glory.”

“Hi,” Glory waved. “Nice to meet you three,” Timmy said. “So… where did you guys come from? And who’s Pipp?”

This caused the three fillies to gasp deeply in shock. “You don’t know Princess Pipp Petals? The greatest popstar/diva/princess in Equestrian history?!” Peach Fizz practically screeched. “Peach Fizz… we talked about this,” Glory told her friend. “When it comes to Pipp, just play it cool.”

“PIPPSQUEAKS!!!!!!” came a shrill voice, and Glory looked out the window to see Pipp and her friends searching for them. “Well… except for when Pipp gets mad,” Seashell said, joining Glory at the window. “Pipp! We’re over here!”

At the sound of Seashell’s voice, the ponies raced to the house, careful not to be seen, before they used Sunny and Hitch’s plant growing powers to get to the window and climbed inside the room. “Pippsqueaks! There you are!” Pipp sighed in relief. “Where have you three been?! You should have told us where you were going before sneaking off like that!”

“And you were supposed to stay with me and Pipp so something like this wouldn’t happen,” Zipp said sternly, making the fillies frown in shame. “Hey… it’s okay,” Timmy said, coming to the fillies’ defense. “It wasn’t there fault. They were just curious to see what we were doing.”

“Timmy, maybe we shouldn’t meddle in these nice ponies’ affairs,” Wanda told her godson. “I’m sure they’re here for an important mission like Peach Fizz said, and I don’t think we should get in the way.”

“Well… we are here on a mission, but we can take a little break,” Sunny said after a moment. “Thanks for looking out for them… Timmy, was it? I’m Sunny Starscout, and this is Izzy Moonbow, Hitch Trailblazer, Pipp Petals, Zipp Storm, Sparky Sparkeroni and Misty Brightdawn.”

“Pleased to meet you all, Sunny. And no problem-- they practically crashed through our window, but we were happy to look out for them,” Timmy shook Sunny’s hoof. “Whoa… what are these things?” Misty tapped Cosmo’s rear with her hoof out of curiosity. “Hey! These things have names, you know!” Cosmo huffed. “I’m Cosmo, and this is Wanda, and you guys REALLY shouldn’t be here right about now!”

“Huh? Why’s that?” Zipp asked suspiciously. But before any of them could respond, there came a sudden boom behind them, sending them flying. When they turned and looked again, there was a tall muscular man holding a giant magic wand standing behind them. “Because,” he said in a very gravely voice, “Timmy Turner knows that he can’t let other people see his fairies!”

“I-It isn’t Timmy’s fault-- it was an accident! Our accident,” Glory tried to defend nervously. “Besides, we’re not PEOPLE exacrly,” Seashell said. “We’re ponies. Pegasi, earth ponies and unicorns from Equestria.” The second that Seashell said the word ‘Equestria’, the muscled man’s expression immediately changed. “Equestria, you say?” he asked. “That changes everything-- of course they can see your fairies, Turner!”

“Huh?” Timmy blinked in confusion. “Of course! How could I forget?” Wanda asked herself. “Fairy World and Equestria’s ruler Twilght Sparkle formed an alliance several 1000 years ago, so it seems only natural that we can let them see us along with you.”

“Twilight Sparkle? Well… there’s something you should know about the princess,” Zipp said. “She, uh… she and the Guardians of Harmony passed on a little over 1000 moons ago.”

“Ohhhhhhh… so they passed a test and left?” Cosmo blinked innocently, causing Wanda to knock him into the wall. “...anyway… we’d love to help keep the alliance alive,” Sunny said before turning toward the man with the wand. “I mean… if you’re willing to, um…?”

“I am Jorgen von Strangle. And if you all are really continuing the work of Twilight Sparkle and the Guardians of Harmony,” Jorgen said, “then I would be happy for you to continue the alliance in their place. JUST DON'T MESS IT UP!!!”

And with that, Jorgen poofed away in a giant explosion. “Whoa… that was a tad intense,” Hitch said, clearing away some of the dust from the explosion. “Oooh, nice unicycling, Timmy!” Izzy lifted up a video game console. “It’s like you filled this little phone in little tiny square that make a picture!”

“Uh, that’s my new video game-- please keep your hooves off,” Timmy yanked it away from her. “Ohh, Timmy!” called a voice. “Sport, it’s your dad!” Wanda cried. “We have to get the ponies out of here before he sees them!”

“You’re right!” Timmy said. “I wish they were invisible!”

Cosmo and Wanda raised their wands, and in an instant, the ponies disappeared from sight. Then, Cosmo and Wanda turned into goldfish just as Timmy’s father came into the room. “Hey, son! Look who’s going to look after you while your mother and I go to the movies!”

Out of the doorframe emerged a red haired girl, probably about 16 years old with pink eyes that were as infuriating as a blazing fire, holding an axe behind her back. “Vicky?! Dad, no!” Timmy begged, clamping onto his father's leg. “Don’t leave me with her! She’s evil!”

“That’s ridiculous, Timmy. Vicky isn’t evil-- she’s evilously good at being your babysitter!” Mr. Turner shrugged it off. “Bye, precious gift from above! We’ll be back by 2… a.m!”

And with that, Timmy’s father left him alone with the babysitter, who stared down at him with a menacing look. “Tell ya what, twerp?” she sneered. “I got an idea for a new game-- called ‘Lock the Twerp in His Room While the Babysitter Watches TV and Drinks All the Soda and Blames It on You’! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”

With that, she slammed the door shut and locked it, allowing the ponies to break themselves out of the invisibility magic. “Who… was… that?!” Misty asked with wide eyes-- that human reminded her so much of Opaline. “That… was Vicky, the babysitter that provided me my godparents,” Timmy explained as Cosmo and Wanda reverted back to their fairy selves. “I guess I’m getting punished for nothing.”

“Hey, don’t say that. She only does that if you don’t do something about it,” Sunny said. “Why don’t you use your fairies’ magic to make her go to sleep or something? So she doesn’t drink all the soda and blame it on you?” Timmy thought about it, and a smile quickly graced his face. “Hey… that’s not a bad idea!” he said. “Cosmo? Wanda? Make it so!”

Cosmo and Wanda raised their wands and poofed Vicky into a deep slumber-- just enough to make her sleep until Timmy’s parents got back. “Not bad, Timmy,” Misty said with an impressed giggle. “I think staying with you while we find our mission is gonna be a lot of fun.”

“So, what kind of mission are you here on anyway?” Wanda asked. “It’s sort of complicated, but we kinda need to find some sort of problem to solve,” Zipp explained. “And keep these little fillies out of trouble.”

To this, the Pippsqueaks giggled sheepishly. “Well, you can hang out here until you can find your problem,” Timmy offered. “So… can you us more about this Equestria place?”

Sunny smiled-- this Timmy fellow was sure to help them navigate this world… he seemed to trust them so much already. “We’d love to tell you about it. But then again... we better start from the beginning.”
