Discord's Last Riddle

Where in Celestia's Name Am I?

Episode: Season 2, Episode 2
Perspective: Third-Person perspective

“Equestria’s saved, I’m sure about that, but here is another tricky task. I bring these two being’s from another land; I hope that you would understand; the twists and turns that they must face, while traveling through dimensions and and the fabric of space. So good luck ponies, though I doubt you can do this, because you seem so hopelessly clueless.”

This was Discord’s last riddle right before he turned into stone. At the snap of his fingers, a blinding light appeared. The 6 ponies covered their eyes as the light grew brighter and brighter, until it faded away. Where Discord once stood, a pegasus and a unicorn lay on the ground, unconscious.

The pegasus’s coat was light blue and had a, somewhat long, dark blue mane with a streak of red. Her mane seemed to have been taken care of. Her wings were an average size, and was a very light blue color. Her cutie mark were notes formatting shape of a star, this probably meant she had an interest in music.

The unicorn was smaller than the pegasus, and had a light green coat. Her mane was short, jagged, and was pure red, and looked like it hasn't been brushed in a while. Her tail was the same as her mane, except longer and well groomed. Her horn was smaller than the normal horn, but that is what made her cute. Her cutie mark was a small flower, with each petal a different color, in the order of a rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and then red again.

The pegasus groaned and sat up, opening her eyes. It revealed dark red eyes. “What i-” The pegasus stopped and sighed, “For pete’s sake! I’m not in the mood for hallucinations...” The pegasus closed her eyes, groaned, and fell back.

The unicorn wakes up, with dark brown eyes showing deep shock as she looks around. “Wh-Wha? How did I--When did--Did I...What?!” Not knowing what is happening, she only knew one thing. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack were standing right in front of her; but most importantly, her favorite pony Rainbow Dash. She sprung up onto her legs and yelled “RAINBOW DASH! OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!”

As the unicorn leaped at Rainbow, Twilight froze her in mid-air with her magic. “Hey! Put me down!” Yelled the unicorn. “Not until you explain what is going on...” Twilight demanded. “Yeah! What are you doing here in ponyville anyways? I have never seen you before! Also, how did you know my name? Huh?!?! Are you a spy?! If you are, I’m gonna kick your butt!” Exclaimed Rainbow Dash, punching the air. “She is not a spy, Rainbow.” Twilight sighed. “You’re right, Twi, but whoever these strangers are, I reckon we better find out.” Applejack stated. “Can you put me down now?” Asked the unicorn. Twilight dropped her and the small unicorn fell, landing with a “Oomphf!”

Fluttershy hid behind Pinkie Pie as she suspiciously walked towards the pegasus. Pinkie circled around the pegasus, when suddenly, one of the pegasus’s eye opened. Pinkie Pie jumped up, as high as gravity would take her, and got into a fighting stance. “Pinkie, will you calm down?” Rarity asked, carrying her element with her magic. “They might be spies like Rainbow said, and besides, they came from Discord’s spell!” Pinkie Pie reminded.

The pegasus sat up and proclaimed, “I don’t know why I’m here, but I’m Tiffany, call me Tiff for short.” The unicorn became more aware of her surroundings, and saw that both herself AND her friend, Tiffany, have turned into ponies! The unicorn screams as she points at her friend, then seeing her own hooves, screaming at her own appearance.

Tiffany got on all four hooves, trying to adjust the new feeling of walking on all four. She tried moving her wings, which worked. “So, Ponyville, eh?” Tiffany confirmed. Twilight looked at her and nodded. Tiffany pointed at the unicorn. “That screaming pony is Eileen. We don’t know why we’re here, so we are kindly going to walk off.” Tiffany explained, biting Eileen’s horn and dragging her away. Twilight used her magic and levitated them in the air. “Ooh! Me too!” Pinkie begged. Twilight groaned and made Pinkie, who was spinning around, float in the air also.

“AGH! PUT ME DOWN!” Eileen shrieked, as she is terribly afraid of hights. Tiffany crossed her hooves, as she was slowly spinning uncontrollably. “Discord sent you ponies here. That means he knows you ponies will cause chaos. So, we’ll have to watch over you two.” Eileen’s face filled with shock “We didn’t mean to be sent here by Discord --I-I-I mean, w-w- we were only playing by the pond b-back home and poof we came here! This is all a b-b-b-big misunderstanding! Now will you please take the time to PUT ME DOWN?!?!?” Eileen stammered.

Twilight sets the 3 down, carefully. “Well, let’s just bring them to the library and we can figure this out.” Eileen got excited, she always wanted to be in Twilight’s library! This may be her only chance to try out some magic tricks!

Location: Outside Twilight’s Library

Time: Afternoon

The 8 ponies walked towards Twilight’s library. There was a huge rock sitting next to it; Aj and Rainbow both looked at Rarity, smiling and giggled, “Wow! Look at that shiny diamond!” Aj and Rainbow fell onto their back, laughing. “I thought we were to never speak of this again...” Rarity snaps.

Tiffany tried her wings, slowly flying beside Fluttershy. Suddenly, Tiffany shot up, straight into the sky with incredible speed, about just as fast as Rainbow Dash. Rainbow grinned and yelled, “You're not gonna out speed me!” She blasted off into the sky, after Tiffany.

Eileen got impatient, “Come on, the faster we get inside, the faster we can go home!” Rarity asked “Excuse me, but might I ask where your ‘home’ is?” Eileen looked at Rarity. “You know, home, where I live?” Eileen slowly said. “And where is that?” Applejack asked.

“You know, home? The place where I came from before I came to your world. It’s where the humans live?” The ponies looked confused. “What is a human?” Asked Pinkie Pie, as she tilts her head with a smile. “A human is what I am...or used to be...” Eileen said, with sadness in her voice. “Well, um, we can try to find your home.” Fluttershy shyly said. Tiffany suddenly swooped down right after Rainbow Dash. “Ha! I told you no one can outspeed me! I am the best flyer ever!”Rainbow stated. “Rematch!” Tiffany exclaimed.

Twilight started looking crossed, and just wanted to go inside. “You’re on!” Rainbow Dash laughed. Right before they rocketed into the sky again, Twilight used her magic once again to stop them. “Is this gonna be a daily thing with you?!” Tiffany groaned. “Not if we get going!” Twilight stated.

The 8 ponies walked into the library, and then suddenly, a small voice is heard at the top of the staircase. “Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity... Oh Rarity... Are you alright? Did you defeat discord?” Spike yelled, running down the staircase. Tiffany flew in and said “We’re okay, Spike.” Spike’s eyes widen, and ask “Who are those ponies? How did they know my name?” Fluttershy pointed to Tiffany “She’s Tiffany.” Rarity pointed to Eileen “She is Eileen” Both ponies introduced themselves.

“We need to get these ponies back home, to ‘Human’, but we don’t know the spell to get them back, which is why we need the book to find out” Twilight explained. Fluttershy looked really scared, so Eileen asked “What’s wrong, Fluttershy?” Fluttershy looked at Eileen and asked “How do you know our names?”

Tiffany and Eileen looked at each other thought for a moment and Eileen spoke up and explained “Um...well...it’s hard to explain...but you are on a TV show. It’s called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. We love it deeply, we didn’t know it was actually...real...” Everyone stares at Tiffany and Eileen. Tiffany spoke up and said “We don’t know how it happens, but everything you do, is something that we watch for entertainment.”

Rainbow Dash stammers on her words “D-d-does that mean...everyone knows I r-read books??!!?” Eileen said “Yup, it was the time you were in the hospital and you were reading daring-do.” Rainbow Dash stops flying and stands on her feet. She stares blankly and then suddenly, lets out a great, big “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”

Twilight rolled her eyes and said “Come on! We better find this book before these two ponies admit anything else that will emotionally scar us...” A few minutes of looking for the right book, and nothing was found yet. “UGH! I can’t find it anywhere!!!” Twilight groaned. “I FOUND IT!” Pinkie Pie screamed at the top of her lungs, and began to read the title “Major Spells for Dummies: How to use time travel, transport through dimensions, and bend the fabric of space to your will.” “Where did you find that?” Twilight asked. “It was under M!” Pinkie Pie started singing, bouncing around.

Twilight rolled her eyes and opened the book. Suddenly Eileen pushes her out of the way, yelling “LET ME SEE!!!” Eileen scans through the book faster than anypony could read. Twilight brings down another book and gives it to Eileen. “Here, you should read this before trying anything advanced.” Eileen began reading the title “Spells for Beginners”.

Twilight began reading “Ok...lets see...’Step one: Find the problem. You will need to find out what the problem is before doing anything.’ Ok...so what-” Tiffany interrupts and states, “We already found that out! Our problem is: We need to get home!!”

Twilight is beginning to lose her patience at this point “Hush! We aren’t gonna get you home if you keep interrupting me like that! Now...where was I? Here it is! ‘Step two: Choose what would be the best way to fix this problem.’ Well...we need you to get home...would teleportation work?” Tiffany groaned and flew away. Eileen yelled “Tiffany! Wait for me!”

Suddenly, she poofs from the library to Tiffany, not realizing she can’t fly. “Oops...” Eileen said, and then continues to fall, like something you would see in a cartoon. At the speed of light, Rainbow bursts out the door and catches the small unicorn. “Be careful! Sure, you can teleport, but you can’t fly!!!” Rainbow warned. Eileen watches Tiffany fly off, and teleports out of Rainbow’s grip. “Tiff! Wait for me! Wait up! Tiff! Slow down!” Yells Eileen, running to catch up with her friend.
