Teamwork is Overrated
Chapter 2: Brotherhood
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe pegasus briefly looked at his unicorn bro; his facial expression showed a slight hint of annoyance, they both knew it was going to take a while before they could meet Twilight. The unicorn went back to being the leader, he didn't give a shit, and meeting Twilight was his top priority. The pegasus sighed, flicked his phone out of seemingly nowhere and, using his wings, started going through his Team Fortress two soundboard, playing a few heavy weapons guy lines. The unicorn was leading the pegasus into town, the road was just smooth dirt covered across the ground. The houses were simple wooden structures buried in white paint, the roofs were made of hay and for some odd reason, the houses seem stable.
“Can you stop that shit?” asked the unicorn, the annoyance in his voice was obvious.
“Stop what?”
“You bloody well know, the soundboard, stop it, I’m trying to think here”
“Nah, I'm good.”
“Seriously dude, it’s pissing me off, I’m trying to figure out how we’re going to approach Twilight, and you are just dicking around.”
“I don’t think we need a tactical plan to deal with Twilight.”
“You get what I fucking mean.”
“Whatever.”
There was a brief silence between the two, the silence was broken with a couple of Pyro lines, mentioning something about “Mmph” and “Mhhhhoooo!”
“Just do me a favor, and stop playing the stupid soundboard, or else I’ll have a serious conversation with your mother about your behavior young man!”
“Fuck you!”
“Well stop fucking around with your phone.”
“Fine.”
The duo arrived at the library, it actually looked far better than how it was presented in the show. The branches on the tree swayed slightly, which was not surprising considering it was a windy day. The bros approached the front door, a few ponies stared at the duo, the unicorn thought that the reason was the laptop bag that was strapped onto him.
“Okay man, what I’m about to do is knock on Twilight's door, don’t look suspicious, or else shit will go down, and we may never get to taste Pinkies special surprise cake!” whispered the unicorn.
The Pegasus gulped, he really wanted to try some of that cake, considering that the cake was not a lie this time. The unicorn lifted his hoof and knocked on Twilight's door, no answer. After 3 tries, the unicorn gave up.
“Fuck this.” the unicorn growled.
“May I make a suggestion? Sugarcube Corner?”
“Fine.”
“Hey I don’t make the rules here, I just enforce them.”
“Shut up.”
“No you.”
“No fuck you.”
“Dude, you need to calm the fuck down.”
“And all I want is to go home at the moment, but no, I need to take the long fucking way!”
“Actually, have you noticed how there are very few ponies around?"
“Now that you mention it, yes, there is barely anyone out here, maybe they are all staying home because of the wind?”
“That is a retarded reason.”
“Like your mom.”
“Well you keep having sex with her...”
“Okay I admit, you got me there”
The duo laughed at the little joke, and within minutes they arrived at the front of Sugarcube corner, it looked like a real life version of the ginger bread home that the witch lived in, in Hansel and Gretel. Noises of what sounded like cheering and dubstep came from inside, the bros knew that the party has already started. The pegasus sighed, walked up to the entrance, and slightly opened the door. Within seconds, pink hooves grabbed him and pulled him in, quickly closing the door afterwards.
“The fuck?”
The unicorn slowly approached the door, then, unlike his friend, he opened the door fully, inside was a large crowd of dancing ponies, they all seemed like they were dancing to dubstep. The ceiling had a disco ball, lights went everywhere, and there was also a table with food on the side. The unicorn couldn’t help himself; he quickly ran to the food and started digging into the sweets. There was cupcakes, candy, and even punch that tasted delicious, food was one way to attract a man, that and bouncy titties.
“Oh there you are!” came a voice from behind.
The unicorn quickly turned around to see his bro with Pinkie Pie doing some awesome break dancing.
“Well at least I know where you are!” the unicorn exclaimed.
“And yet you didn’t attempt to find me.”
“Hey, you know I like food.”
“Yea, but I’m saving my appetite for the cake.”
“Well, I can fit this and the cake.”
“Whatever.”
“Have you seen Twilight?”
“Um, yea, a couple of times, but she is deep in the crowd of ponies.”
“What?!”
“Yea, I saw her when I got taken in here, she seemed busy having fun, within a crowd of what looked like a hundred ponies.”
The unicorn groaned “Now it seems impossible to get to her.”
“Not exactly, once Pinkie announces the cake, we may have a chance to find Twilight.”
“Why would that be the case?”
“Because everypony would have to stop, giving us a perfect chance to find Twilight, and take her to a place where we can privately talk to her.”
“Ooh, I like where this is going.”
“Heh, unfortunately we don’t have time to fuck the mane six.”
“True, but when do you think Pinkie will announce the cake?”
“Maybe half an hour from now, I don’t know.”
“Perfect, we have to play the waiting game.”
“Yes, but during the waiting game, we can locate Twilight, and ask her to come with us when the cake is getting announced.”
“Why didn’t I think any of this?”
“Cause you’re Pinkie, and I am the Brain.”
“Oh god that show.”
“Yes, THAT show.”
“Well, we better start locating Twilight.”
“Agreed”
The duo quickly started trying to locate Twilight within the hundreds of ponies, sure, a purple unicorn would be easy to spot, but not if the only light source you had was just random colours. It was easier said than done at this point, it seemed absolutely impossible to find her until the lights came on. It made such a great difference, Twilight was located somewhere in the middle of the crowd, now that she was found, the duo had to keep an eye on her. All Twilight was doing was dancing, she was a bad dancer, but nopony seemed to mind. After a couple of minutes a loud voice erupted from the far side of the room.
“MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?” yelled out Pinkie from the far side of the room.
Shortly after she yelled that, everypony became quiet, however, Twilight started walking towards the far side of the room that Pinkie was at.
“Oh shit, she is getting away.” whispered the pegasus.
“We can’t lose her now, after we have finally located her.” whispered the unicorn.
The two ponies moved through the crowds of ponies, some big and some small. They got to the far side of the room, ignoring Pinkies Speech, trying to follow Twilight. Twilight finally stopped when she was near Pinkie, the bros were slightly pissed off that they could have just waited there. The pegasus walked up to Twilight, and before he could do anything, Pinkie Pie quickly grabbed him.
“And this is the new pegasus in town! Say Hi everypony!” yelled out Pinkie as she held the pegasus in the air, the unicorn face hoofed.
A loud wave of noises burst from the crowd, only barely making out, ‘hi’, ‘yo’, ‘hello’, ‘what’s up’, and even ‘howdy’.
“Oh yea, sorry Mr pegasus, but I didn’t catch your name, what is your name?” asked Pinkie.
All eyes were staring on the pegasus, he had to think of a name, quickly.
“Um, my name is, uhh, Shadow Mane!” replied the pegasus.
Pinkie dropped "Shadow" on the ground and put a grin on her face.
“Well, welcome to Ponyville Shadow Mane!” yelled out Pinkie, a cheer from the crowd could be heard.
Pinkie turned her head over to the unicorn, the unicorn knew that he was in deep shit. Pinkie Pie quickly grabbed the unicorn and shoved him into the air
.
“And this is the unicorn that had recently come into Ponyville as well!” again yelled out Pinkie Pie.
The crowd again roared in a loud greeting, except this time they weren’t as loud as before, disgraceful fucks. The unicorn groaned, and his heart started beating faster, he had to think of a name before Pinkie asked, he NEEDED a name, or else, who knows what would happen.
“So, what is your name?” asked Pinkie.
“Oh yes, um, my name, my name, is, uh, yea, my name, is, umm.. Spirit Fire!” announced the Unicorn.
Muttering could be heard in the crowd, obviously his name was a bit unusual, Spirit groaned as Pinkie lowered him to the ground.
“Okay everypony, let's give Shadow and Spirit their ca-.“
“Actually no, I have serious business with Twilight Sparkle, I can’t wait any longer at the moment.” interrupted Spirit. His voice was was louder then he had intended most of the ponies heard him.
The crowd stared Spirit, Twilight just glared at him, as if she didn’t know what he meant.
“I’m sorry, but, I don’t recall doing business with a Spirit Fire…”
“Gah, look, Twilight, I need your help with something that is dire, well not just me, but Shadow the hedgehog over here needs the same help”
“Hey, its not my fault if we happen to share the same colour scheme!” called out Shadow.
Twilight didn’t get the joke as she stared at Spirit, Spirit sighed.
.
“Lets just go outside….”
Twilight nodded, and the trio left the gingerbread house, Twilight stopped next to the door, she waited for an explanation. Spirit looked at Shadow, giving him a sign that he should explain the situation.
“Okay, Twilight Sparkle, we have an otherworldly problem, we are not Ponies, as you call them, we were once human. We came from a universe where Humans are the intelligent breed of animals, ponies are just minor animals. We came from a planet called Earth, with technology from our world; we suffer a minor case of amnesia where we can’t remember our own names. However, the reason why we knew you were great at magic is because we have known about this place for a while now. You are the main character for a show, and if you don’t know what a show is, a show is basically an animated series. Anyways, you are the main character for a show called ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’ and your 5 friends are the main characters. We have both watched the show and we know things, we know about Spike’s crush on Rarity, we know about the cutie pox, and we know about Rainbow Dashes obsession with books. We also know that you are the greatest magical user in Ponyville, so we ask of one request. Will you send us back to earth by doing some sort of teleportation spell that goes through dimensions?”
Twilight froze, she stared at the pegasus in disbelief, but she also showed signs of belief, she was trying to choose if what he said was true, or a lie.
“Please, I want to go home, I want to go back to the life I had.” begged Spirit.
Twilight tilted her head, "Are you sure the punch wasn't spiked? Because this seems highly ill-."
"Once you were a week late sending your next friendship report to Princess Celestia, so you started trying to find any excuse to send her a letter. You went crazy, at one point, you talked to yourself in a puddle. Then, you used the "Want it, Need it" spell and accidentally brainwash the whole town into fighting over a old toy. Now you only send her letters when you learn new things about friendship."
Twilight looked visibly embarrassed, "Ok, maybe you are telling the truth, but even if you are, i doubt that i have any spells which could send you to a different dimension."
“That's fine, any chance of us getting home would be great!” replied Spirit in a dedicated tone.
“Just one thing I ask of you though.”
“Yes?”
“What is that thing strapped onto your back?” asked Twilight as she pointed to Spirits laptop bag.
“Complicated stuff, I’ll explain later, but for now, if you are going to search a scroll that highlights dimensional traveling, then it’s probably going to take a while, so, we’ll need a place to stay at.”
“Actually I could just ask Princess Celestia about the scroll.”
“Oh yea, okay, I guess this could be done within minutes, cool.”
“But for now you could stay at my tree house, if for some odd reason Celestia can’t find one.”
“I sure hope there is such thing as dimensional traveling in Equestria.”
“Yes, but before we do anything, don’t you think you should at least say bye to Pinkie Pie?”
Spirit and Shadow nodded in agreement, it wouldn't be fair to not say farewell to the pink pony that introduced them to Ponyville in the first place. The door to the gingerbread house opened, dubstep and dancing ponies filled the room, and Pinkie Pie could be seen at the back doing some break dance moves. The duo walked up to Pinkie, she seemed a bit too distracted by her dancing, the bros really wanted to leave though, everypony were giving them looks, it was really awkward when it came down to it. Pinkie Pie finally noticed the duo, she quickly stopped her dance moves and put her attention towards Spirit and Shadow.
“Oh hey Pinkie, just here to say bye, sorry, we got to go” exclaimed Shadow
“Awwwww, oh well, bye, oh you should at least have a slice of cake because I made it just for you!” replied Pinkie Pie.
Spirit and Shadow shrugged, why not, having a slice of cake isn’t that bad, besides, she had the reputation of making the best cakes in Ponyville. The duo wandered over to the table, and they took 1 slice of both of their cakes. Spirit’s cake was a vanilla based caked that had cream on the top, there was also jam mixed with the cream on the top. Shadows cake was a dark chocolate, with a creamy chocolate topping, both of the cake tasted absolutely delicious.
The bros exited Sugarcube corner, waving their hooves at Pinkie Pie, they both had a goal to return to Earth, however, Spirit had the idea that returning back to earth seems too good to be true. Spirit had believed in fate, and getting teleported to Equestria was his and Shadow’s fate.
“Hey dude.” exclaimed Spirit.
“What?” replied Shadow.
“Do you want to go home? Because I have basically been talking for you, and I have not actually heard your opinion on the matter, do you want to stay in Equestria?”
“As beautiful as it is, no, I can’t, I have lived on Earth for a long time, Earth is my home, I can't abandon it. ”
“Ah, good, just making sure.”
“If only life was as simple as Equestria.”
“What are you saying back there?” asked Twilight as she turned her head over to the duo.
“Nothing Twilight, nothing.” replied Shadow.
