Author's Note

I wanted to make this into a two parter. I really, really did. But, after thinking about it long and hard after I woke up, I realized that I couldn't come up with enough material to warrent covering the entire movie outside of stuff that Hamtaro gets involved in, and even then, that's minimal enough at best.

So instead, I decided to go with this instead. While the initial plan to make Hamtaro have a key role in this first movie didn't go nearly as planned, I think you'll enjoy this chapter regardless.

As for how I'm going to handle this, well...the subtitle should give it away: This chapter is a first-person account from Hamtaro's P.O.V.

Movie #1: First Equestria Girls Movie - Hamtaro's P.O.V.

My name is Hamtaro. I'm a hamster. And boy am I really glad I have my friends. Especially my girlfriend turned fiancée Bijou. I really need to keep her close. Especially after what I learnt. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning three days ago.

Me alongside all the ham-hams were joining the Main Six as we traveled to the Crystal Empire to attend a Princess Summit, where Twilight Sparkle would be officially recognized as an official alicorn princess. From what information I've gathered, becoming an Alicorn in Equestria is a huge deal. A very huge deal. Huge enough that you end up being officially crowned a princess. No idea what duties Twilight is going to have now that she's a princess, but Princess Celestia assured the unicorn turned alicorn that time will reveal that at some point.

It was the night just after the summit happened when things went south in a hurry: An orange unicorn grabbed Twilight's element of harmony which had taken the form of a crown and then lept into some kind of mirror that was kept at the Crystal Empire's Castle. What struck me as odd was the fact that said unicorn was handling the crown by hoof as these ponies would say.

That brings us to the dawn of the day everything started. Twilight asked Celestia about the unicorn that took the element, and that's when a bombshell was dropped on us all.

"Based on who you saw, Twilight, I have no doubt that it was a former student of mine, the one just before you. Her name is Sunset Shimmer." Celestia said. "She wasn't that much different then you, however, I could tell that she was going to go on a dark path. I attempted to stop her from doing so, but I found myself unable to do so. She ended up becoming thirsty for power, to the point where she wanted to become an alicorn, and her power hungry nature ultimately had me make a very difficult choice: I decided to banish her."

"Wouldn't her coming back here now voilate that banishment?" Twilight asked.

"It would, if I had successfully managed to banish her. She had managed to wrestle herself free from the royal guards and when I followed her, I saw her leap into this very same mirror. A mirror that was created by Starswirl the Bearded when he was my mentor." Celestia said.

"Wait hold the phone; are you talking about Starswirl the Bearded as in the same pony Eqeustria's newest princess idolizes? That Starswirl the Bearded?" Maxwell asked.

"The one and the same. Are you really so surprised though?" Celestia asked.

"In hindsight, I should've seen that one coming. Just like we should've realized Twilight's element turning into a crown meant something special for her." Maxwell said.

"I'm surprised you never brought that up before now." Twilight said.

"He never did finish his mentorship of me before he vanished a thousand years ago. Regardless, I do know one thing: He told me he had created this portal to help out a group of individuals that needed to escape a ruthless group of hamster hunters. After Starswirl vanished, I took it upon myself to round up the entire squadron of Hamster Hunters and had them severely punished." Celestia stated.

"So then, those ponies who Discord made me realize were turned to stone in the garden...they were all..." Boss soon realized something.

"I see Discord tricked you too somehow. He probably didn't bother to change your nature since he already messed you up." I stated.

"I have no idea what sort of world is beyond this. Twilight, only you and Spike are safe to enter this mirror. Though if the ham-hams want to go as well, I don't see the problem with it." Celestia said.

"I can handle things myself guys." I told my hamster friends. "We don't all need to go. I doubt whatever's back there is something that doesn't need all of us."

Oh how wrong I was. In hindsight, I really should've brought them with. It would've stopped Sunset Shimmer from going all demon on everyone in that world. And I most likely wouldn't have gotten captured. See, in that world there were some humans that all looked really strangely colored. Plus, their names all sounded like those from Equestria.

But on the second day of dealing with Sunset Shimmer, she hamster-napped me while I was helping Twilight fix the relationship between the five humans who shared a name with Twilight's pony friends, and she had me see this article about how a bunch of kids went missing. I didn't think much of it at first, until I quickly noticed a very specific name on that list.

The name belonged to my owner, Laura. She and a bunch of other hamster owners went missing around thirty years ago apperently. As did a whole bunch of hamsters as well. That's when I realized, that somehow this human world...it was my world. Thirty years into the future.

When I did return to Equestria; which was after Twilight stopped a demonized Sunset; I didn't waste much time before I gave Bijou the biggest hug I've ever given.

"Hamtaro? What's wrong?" Bijou asked.

"Th-they're gone..." I said. "Every human we knew...their all gone..." I said.

"Wh-what are you talking about?" Twilight suddenly asked.

That's when I revealed what Sunset did to me, and what she showed me.

"N-no..." Bijou looked devastated. "Thirty years...we've been flung forward in time thirty years..."

"This sadly lines up with what I've studied about how you all got here to our world in the first place." Twilight said.

"Where could all those kids have gone though? I'm pretty sure the law of converstaion of mass states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed; only changed from one shape to another." Maxwell said.

"How do you explain the magic of this world then?" Sandy asked.

"We've seen these ponies eat." Maxwell said simply.

"Ah. Some kind of mana pool driven from the food supply." Sandy gathered.

"Something like that." Maxwell asked.

Twilight looked deep in thought suddenly. "What's going on now?" Shade asked. "Am I too late to advise Hamtaro to not follow Twilight alone into the world beyond the mirror?" He asked.

"Yeah, you're a little late to say that." I told him. "Wait, you knew I'd get captured? How? That doesn't make any sense!"

"It does when Shade no doubt comes from the future. I doubt Hamtaro's capture; or lack there of; would've changed anything." Twilgiht said.

"Wait, you come from the future? Why did you come here to the past?" Celestia asked Shade.

"Twilight's future self-sent me because this was the point in time I was needed to come into the past in order to perserve the timeline. That, and your future self-sensed that there is some creature who will attempt to alter the course of history on a drastic level that needs to be stopped. That is my secondary mission." Shade said.

"Right now, what I'm more concerned about is a different question: Shade, in the future, do you know the approximate number of hamsters that existed in our world?" Twilight asked.

"I honestly never bothered to count them all. Why do you ask?" Shade asked.

"Because I have a feeling...there are many more hamsters we just haven't found yet." Twilgiht said.

"Wait, what are you talking about? Wouldn't Luara and the others have come out as ponies because that's how Sunset and you worked?" I asked.

"I don't think so. Call it a hunch, but I'm sure Princess Celestia would've been told if other ponies had been popping up in other regions of Eques." Twilight said.

"...So then your saying they all might have come here as hamsters?" I asked.

"It's a very real possibility. One we need to be ready for." Twilight stated.
