Sari-Sariby CortezDudeChaptersMorningAfternoonEveningMorning7:41 AM Friday The alarm on my charged Iphone blares loudly in my bedroom and when it did, my eyes groggily adjusted to the brightness of the ceiling whilst I grunted in bed and got up to my feet as I headed to the bathroom. When I arrived inside, I relieved and washed myself, and I went back to the my bedroom in which I unplugged my phone from the charger; I looked at the time and knew one thing: It's time to open my store Oh sorry, I need some introductions, my name is Jose DeMott and I'm 22 years old, and if you ask me on where I live, reader? Then, I'm currently living in Equestria and to be exact, Ponyville; I was born in Quezon City, Philippines but had to move to San Francisco, California, USA along with my parents, Ronaldo and Danielle as well as my younger brother, Andoy. When I was young, my parents told me that they once had a Sari-Sari Store back in Quezon City and I was fascinated by their stories, even showing me and Andoy pictures of their store which caused me to love having a Sari-Sari Store someday When we heard of the portals to a magical land called Equestria open for Earth so that people and Equestrians can visit for fun or for work, I took the opportunity to live there instead of any other place; I could recall on them asking me if I want to be in pony form or in normal form and when I asked on what my pony form would be, they said I would turn into an Earth Pony stallion with a yellow-orange coat, a short chestnut mane and tail, and a cutie mark of a cash register. But I decided to keep my normal form since there are some advantages and disadvantages of being an Earth Pony and I'm not complaining about it to be honest I went to Equestria and then headed towards Ponyville which is well known for many antics and where Twilight Sparkle and her friends did adventures, big and small. There, I went to the town hall and there I met Mayor Mare in which I told her that I wanted to set up my house as well as a small store in there too and she acknowledged it. She then called out the real estate agent and had me sign the documents for me so that I can move in to my new home and when it was done, they showed me my house and it was exactly I needed; Afterwards, I paid the exact amount of bits that I exchanged my Dollars to Bits and settled in to my new home Over the next months, I built up my own Sari-Sari Store containing local goods in Equestria and some imported goods from the Philippines and America. When it was done, I had a soft opening of the store and almost every creature in Equestria and Beyond wanted to buy some snacks, drinks, frozen foods, school supplies, etc.; Word got out of my small store and now, almost every Equestrian wanted to visit it and buy some goods inside this foreign store But anyways, I'm losing track here, so back to where I was right now; I went downstairs and had breakfast which were Eggo Chocolate Chip Waffles that were topped with butter and maple syrup along with a cup of Milo with milk and finally washing it down with a glass of water in order to get rid of the sugar in my body. After breakfast, I headed back upstairs and took a bath, wore a new set of clothes which were a plain white, short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and my red Converse Chuck Taylors. When I was done, I looked at my phone and the time now read, "8:00 AM", and I knew that it was time to open the store in order to start business I headed outside and then, I opened the binds of my Sari-Sari Store as well as picking up the local newspaper and flipping the CLOSED sign to OPEN. I then patiently waited for customers to arrive and sure enough, many ponies and other creatures entered my store, buying some food, drinks, body care, or whatever they feel that it's a need or want thing likely. I gave some customers their exact change and helped others who have trouble with anything. This has been a normal routine that I've gotten used to and I feel like I've already known everypony living in this place I checked my phone and the time now read, "10:30 AM", and it has gotten a bit boring lately, so with no time to waste, I decided to pass the time while waiting for a customer/s to arrive in my store as I left a bit and entered my house so that I can get my Ipad and watch some videos or play some games. But when I arrived back to my store, I heard 3 voices talking and those voices started to come closer and closer, thus knowing that they were arriving at the store to buy something "Okay, it says "Jose's Sari-Sari Store", and 'Sari-Sari' means 'variety' in Ponish, right?", said a mare with a bit of a high pitch voice that reminds me of a cute anime character to be honest "Yup! And it looks like that this one is different since this is from our homeland of Equestria, rather than the Philippines when we visited that beautiful country for our little vacation. Can you believe it?! A Sari-Sari Store in the land of Equestria and to be exact, Ponyville!", another mare with a voice that sounded like those young women in a mall, chatting away like it's nothing personal to them "Okay, ladies; let's not waste time and head inside so that we can buy something, got it?", a stallion's deep voice came last in my ears and the mares nodded in unison with "Mhm's" I then saw the silhouettes of 3 ponies that I've never seen before and they were in the forms of an Earth Pony stallion, a Pegasus mare, and last but not the least, a unicorn mare. They were checking on some products that were local to them and others that we're foreign to their land, their eyes brimming with curiosity over the imported goods whilst trying to think on what to buy. After a long time, the unicorn decided to buy some Lucky Me Original Instant Pancit Canton while the Pegasus chose 2 cans of Sunkist Strawberry Lemonade Soda for herself and her friend, and last but not the least, the Earth Pony picked out a bag of Chippy BBQ corn chips and a bottle of water The trio headed towards the counter and the Earth Pony stallion volunteered to greet me as he cleared his throat and spoke to me, "Magandang umaga po, Sir. Kumusta na kayo?" "Okay lang. There's no need to use Tagalog since I can speak English too.", I replied back and that caused him to be surprised along with his 2 friends "Oh, we're sorry.", the Pegasus mare profusely apologized to me, "We thought that you wouldn't speak Pon- English I mean, so that's why we had to learn Tagalog in order to communicate with you" I smiled and dismissingly waved my hand, "It's okay. Though I'm impressed that you've visited my birthplace despite me, moving to another country. I assume that you've seen such beautiful landmarks in there?", I asked "We sure did!", the unicorn mare giddily replied with a big smile on her face, "Your country is a beautiful land to visit and the Filipinos are so hospitable to us too.", she then remembered something, "Oh I almost forgot! Introductions. My name is Diamond Jubilee and these are my friends, Little Cloud and Shine Treat", she pointed her hoof to them and her friends waved at me I chuckled at their cheerful personalities as I introduced myself, "Well then, my name is Jose DeMott and I'm the owner of this place. You're welcome to visit here anytime." "Thanks", they said in unison And with that, they decided to pay up and I gave them their change. The ponies then left the store, saying goodbye to me and waving their hooves and I responded by waving my hand at them. Equestria never disappointed me since the day I resided in here and set up my store and I know that surprises can come in anytime and anywhere But little did I know that I will be getting a massive surprise to someones I've never seen again since I visited them for the holidays. Author's Note Here are the OC's in this chapter: Shine Treat Little Cloud Diamond Jubilee 2 characters will make a comeback in my 1st story. Afternoon12:34 PM It was already the afternoon when I checked the time and feeling my stomach grumble, I decided to close the store for a while so that I can go to a place where I can eat. I left a sign that said, "WILL RETURN SHORTLY", and then, I locked the store and house as I headed to find a restaurant or a diner for lunch Luckily for me, Ponyville opened a diner before Equestria made contact with Earth and what makes this diner special is that this diner is not just for ponies, but for all creatures as well. In other words, it has foods that are just like back on Earth which perfectly fit for omnivores (like me) and carnivores while also having the same menu items for herbivores too. I opened the door and headed to a seat near the counter I waited patiently until a waitress in the form of an Earth Pony mare gave me a menu and I looked on what I wanted to order and after looking at it, I signaled her and she went towards me as I told her my order which is a double bacon cheeseburger along with a side of fries and a strawberry milkshake. She then asked me if I would like any additions and I replied "No" to her, thus she nodded in confirmation as I patiently played the waiting game I waited patiently and after about 25 minutes, my order came and I thanked the waitress for it as I blessed the food and ate it with glee in my face. When I was done eating my food, I signaled her again and made a sign for the bill in which she nodded and went to the register in order to type the amount of the food I ordered. She then came back with the bill and I paid the amount needed and the mare went back again to the register and returned with the bill and some change. I took some and left some Bits there as I exited the diner, satisfied of my meal that I had today When I returned to my house, I reopened my store and took off the sign and as usual, there were some customers I knew and most of them bought the usual goods or some decided to buy some new goods and I of course, had to give them some change or none to those that had the exact Bits to pay for the exact price. So far, there were no customers so I decided to open my Ipad and watch some videos on YouTube I was watching random videos when I checked the time and it read, "3:33 PM", and that caused me to be snapped back into reality because I kept on checking if there were new customers but sadly, there were none. I also did an inventory check before I opened my store in the morning and knew that I had to make deliveries to some of the local goods I need to restock for the Sari Sari Store tomorrow. I turned off my Ipad and waited.....and waited......and......still.....waited.....but none came to the store and it was getting boring so far I kept on waiting until I heard some familiar voices and these voices were someone or should I say, some people I've never heard again since the holidays back in the Philippines. I looked at the entrance and then saw silhouettes of 2 ponies: one is a unicorn stallion that had a gold coat accompanied with pink eyes, a mane and tail of the colors, black and red, and a cutie mark of a Killer Whale and a Great White Shark in the form of a yin-yang while the other one is a Pegasus mare that had a light-emerald green coat accompanied with olive eyes, a mane and tail of the color, yellow orange, and a cutie mark of a lion's pawprint. They emerged inside my Sari-Sari Store and I knew who they were in an instant "Oh my God!", I exclaimed and the 2 ponies looked at me with surprised eyes, "Luke! Maggie! Is that the both of you?" "Jose!", the Santos Twins exclaimed with delight in seeing my face for the first time since Christmas I exited the counter and gave the twins hugs and they too responded by standing on their hind legs and hugging me back. I noticed that Maggie slimmed a bit but Luke.....well.....his flank kinda looked chubby lately "Hey.", I asked Luke and he replied with a "Mhm?", "Has your butt gotten a bit chubbier?" Luke had a massive blush on his face, "No.", he tried to hide it, "Not really", but Jose raised his eyebrows knowing that he isn't fooled by his denial as he gave up in defeat, "Okay, like a bit if you ask me....." "Nah, he's been wanting to have the biggest butt when he enters Equestria", Maggie giggled which caused Luke to blush with embarrassment on what she said I broke off the hug, "Well, it's good to see you guys again. Hey, why don't you come to my house and let's have a little bonding time. What'd you say about that?", I asked them The twins looked at each other and nodded in unison, "We'd like that idea, Jose", Maggie chimed "Yeah, why don't we hang out and let's say watch something or chat", Luke piped his ideas up, "We wanna know what you've been up to after the holidays "That's sounds wonderful", I told them They decided to break off and buy some goodies in my store whilst I headed back to the counter and waited for them; Luke decided to buy a bag of VCut BBQ Potato Chips, a Mountain Dew Zero Sugar soda, a pack of Skittles, and a Popsicle©️ Retro Fantastic Fruity (good thing that Popsicle©️ decided to reintroduce these retro flavors from the 90s again in the future). Meanwhile, Maggie decided to buy a bag of Moby Caramel Puffs, a bottle of Gatorade grape, 5 Jolly Ranchers of all the original flavors, and lastly, a Magnum Cookies and Cream ice cream bar When they were done, I calculated the products that they bought and told them the total price in which they paid me the total amount and I gave them their change. They took the stuff that they bought and thanked me while the twins headed out of my store and headed to their home that they've bought for their vacations in Equestria. I couldn't help but smile because I got a chance to reunite with my twin friends ever since I saw them last year. Author's Note Surprise! The Santos Twins, Luke and Maggie are back! Evening10:00 PM It had been a long time but I decided it was time for me to close the store and rest for tonight. Earlier, I had called out to the customers that the Sari-Sari Store will be closing so I warned them to buy what they want or need to buy so that there wouldn't be any frantic last minute call for them and sure enough, some of them bought the stuff that they wanted to get and paid me as some ponies and creatures exited my store I turned off the lights, locked the cash register, shut the gate, and locked the door as I headed back to my home and waited patiently at the sofa for my friends to come by so that we can hang out before they leave my home and head back to their own home. The time now read, "10:10 PM", and sure enough, I heard my doorbell ring and I got up to my feet and headed to the door and as I opened it, I saw Luke (who had a Terabyte in the magic aura of his horn) and Maggie waiting at the front of my door "Hey, Luke. Hey, Maggie. Come on in", I beckoned the twins They entered my house and when they were finished entering, I closed the door and we headed to the living room as we sat down in the sofa deciding to have a little chat on what has been happening to us for the past months we've been together The twins told me on how they've been vacationing a bit in Tokyo, Japan and they showed me some photos of them in Tokyo Disneyland and I can tell you that the Santos Twins were enjoying in that place since their smiles said it all; they even showed me the pictures that they've took in their phones and I couldn't help but have a huge smile etched in my face because I saw them posing with some Disney and Pixar characters I know like Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Alice, Jasmine, Snow White, Woody, Buzz, Peter Pan,& More I told them that I've also decided to take a visit to Equestria and when I told the twins about me in the Grand Galloping Gala meeting Princess Twilight Sparkle along with her friends and the Friendship Ambassador as well as the Crystal Empire's savior, Spike. They were shocked and surprised on it and I even had photos to prove it. I opened my Ipad and showed them the times I had at the gala and it was a blast for me to experience it firsthand "You wanna watch a movie? I'll be the one to pick.", Luke suggested "Sure", Maggie acknowledged "Just make sure it's a good one", I told him I turned on my TV and Luke plugged his Terabyte in it and selected the movie that we wanted to watch before the twins leave my house and to theirs. The movie that he decided to pick was none other than Transformers One because he said that he loved the movie. Maggie decided to set up the popcorn and drinks as we prepared ourselves to watch the movie. I told her that I got some cheese popcorn as well as cans of Arizona Orangeade in the fridge as she started to prepare the snacks as me and Luke waited patiently for our movie munchies to be prepared When the popcorn was done cooking, Maggie placed it in a large bowl she got in my cupboard as well as the drinks and she arrived just in time because Luke decided to start the movie and we watched it from start to finish It was such a good movie to watch and we can't help but feel bad on how Orion Pax and D-16 went from being friends to enemies and they no longer used their old names because they decided to use their new names: Optimus Prime and Megatron. We just couldn't help but know the fact that this movie was the best Transformers movie that had happened since Transformers Bumblebee I opened my Ipad and the time read, "11:35 PM", which meant that the twins decided to head back to their own Equestrian house. Luke unplugged the Terabyte from my TV and I waved him and Maggie goodnight and goodbye as I headed upstairs to get myself brushed and washed in order to got to bed This is just my normal life as the owner of a Sari-Sari Store in a foreign, magical land called Equestria and I'm proud of living in this place. Nothing is going to change my mind when I say this: Though I will live in Equestria, I will never forget on where I was born: Earth I am just proud to be in this place where I can introduce a Filipino thing in the land of Equestria. FIN Author's Note Sorry for the short chapter, there was nothing I could think of to be honest. P.S. Transformers One is the best Transformers movie I've seen! But anyways, if you enjoyed the story, leave a like and remember: NO HATEFUL COMMENTS IN HERE!!!!! Other than that, I hope you loved it.

I told her that I got some cheese popcorn as well as cans of Arizona Orangeade in the fridge as she started to prepare the snacks as me and Luke waited patiently for our movie munchies to be prepared When the popcorn was done cooking, Maggie placed it in a large bowl she got in my cupboard as well as the drinks and she arrived just in time because Luke decided to start the movie and we watched it from start to finish It was such a good movie to watch and we can't help but feel bad on how Orion Pax and D-16 went from being friends to enemies and they no longer used their old names because they decided to use their new names: Optimus Prime and Megatron. We just couldn't help but know the fact that this movie was the best Transformers movie that had happened since Transformers Bumblebee I opened my Ipad and the time read, "11:35 PM", which meant that the twins decided to head back to their own Equestrian house. Luke unplugged the Terabyte from my TV and I waved him and Maggie goodnight and goodbye as I headed upstairs to get myself brushed and washed in order to got to bed This is just my normal life as the owner of a Sari-Sari Store in a foreign, magical land called Equestria and I'm proud of living in this place. Nothing is going to change my mind when I say this: Though I will live in Equestria, I will never forget on where I was born: Earth I am just proud to be in this place where I can introduce a Filipino thing in the land of Equestria. FIN Author's Note Sorry for the short chapter, there was nothing I could think of to be honest. P.S. Transformers One is the best Transformers movie I've seen! But anyways, if you enjoyed the story, leave a like and remember: NO HATEFUL COMMENTS IN HERE!!!!! Other than that, I hope you loved it.
