Riddle Dimensions

"That," Phil continued. "Or, this dimension is still on the tribal stage...I've been playing too much Spore.", he commented.

Phil proceeded to look for something to cut the vines. 'Pencils, paper, notepad, book, map...' he thought as he looked around the stuff. He finally reached something he didn't expected to find; a quite large scissor. He picked up the scissor with his invisible mouth, prayed that it could cut through, and proceeded to (hardly) cut the vine. Phil sucessfully managed to cut the vines, but not before spitting out.

"That was an experience I don't want to repeat.", he commented. "If horses really carry stuff with their mouths, I'm glad not to be one.", he continued. He proceeded to examine his surroundings. 'Judging by the fair ammount of wood, the crude drawings sticked to the walls, and the pile of stuff dropped in the floor, this seems to be a child's treehouse.', he thought. 'But who might be this child?' he continued.

In that same time...

"Enter, the door's open!" Spike called out. To his surprise, the Cutie Mark Crusaders bursted in the library. 'What are they doing here?' he thought. 'They rarely look for books. I hope they aren't looking for another spell book...', he continued. "What are you looking for?" he asked.

"We need your best book about humans!", Sweetie Belle answered.

'Oh, thank Celestia! But...why humans?' Spike thought. "Oh, sure. But, why are you looking for a book about humans?" he asked.

"Oh, we have fo-" Sweetie Belle blurted out, only to have a yellow hoof stuffed in her mouth.

"We have gotten curious about 'em, an' we'd like ta learn more about 'em.", Apple Bloom explained.

"Oookay, then...", Spike replied (obviously not convinced) as he headed to the bookshelf. 'Let's see...no...not that...nope...aha!' he thought. He grabbed the brown-colored book, and headed back to the three fillies. "There you go. It's a book about mythical creatures. Humans are explained around chapter 5.", he told them.

"Thanks!" the three fillies replied in unison as they stormed away. Spike was about to shrug it off, though he was interrupted as Twilight came downstairs.

"Who was here, Spike? I was trying to get a rest after that incident with Pyromancer, and suddently, I heard a loud noise, waking me up.", she asked.

"The CMC came in. What's odd is, they came looking for a book about humans.", he explained.

"Humans? Did they had a sleepover at Lyra's house?" Twilight asked.

"I examined them, they showed no signs of mint green fur around them. Which means they didn't.", Spike negated.

"I still don't know how anypony who stays with Lyra somehow catches some of her coat fur. Anyway, if they didn't, how could they be interested in these facts?" Twilight asked again.

"They could have found a human.", Spike suggested.

"Oh, Spike, quit being so ridiculous! Humans don't exist, and never existed.", Twilight countered.

"No, seriously. I heard Sweetie Belle briefly mention 'Oh, we have fo-' only for Apple Bloom to shove her hoof on Sweetie's mouth.", Spike explained.

"Now that you said it, maybe you're right.", Twilight replied. "Maybe they're up to something."

Back to the treehouse...

"Hey, do you hear those footsteps?", Sweetie Belle quietly said.

The two stopped on their tracks to listen.

"Yes...", Scootaloo and Apple Bloom replied.

"It's commin' from the clubhouse!" Apple Bloom pointed out.

"It could be attacking the human!" Sweetie pointed out.

"What are we waiting for? Let's head in!" Scootaloo ordered.

With little-to-nothing to do, Phil was pacing around the treehouse for quite a long time waiting for whoever was the owner of that treehouse to arrive back.

'Surely he or she was going to be back soon, right?' Phil thought to himself. However, just like if The Powers that Be had listened to his thought, he started hearing little whispers comming from outside. 'The owner of this treehouse might have came alterady.', he thought again. He sat there with his arms crossed, awaiting for whoever came in to finally appear. However, Phil was shocked to see that who tied him up was not a person, but, in fact, three little ponies!

"Hey, he's finally awaken!", the yellow pony spoke up.

...Three talking little ponies.

"...I am dead, aren't I?", Phil asked.

"What do you mean, dead?", Sweetie Belle asked, not knowing what 'dead' meant.

"...it's better not to know about it.", Phil replied.

At this moment, each of the four had different thoughts. Phil about if he's dreaming or not, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo about how he's talking without a mouth, and Sweetie Belle about what 'dead' means. There was a dead silence for quite a long time, that went allll the way until Phil decided to break the silence.

"So, who are you three?", he asked.

"Oh, right, we forgot the introduction!", Scootaloo replied. "Girls, formation!"

"I'm Apple Bloom."

"I'm Sweetie Belle."

"I'm Scootaloo."

"AND WE'RE THE...."

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!", they yelled in union. This caused Phil to instantly close his eyes and cover his (non-existant) ears. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the three ponies were doing some sort of awkward dance. And it was not even slightly perfect. They occasionally bumped into each-other, hit the wall, and eventually, the three crashed at themselves at the same time, causing them to fall to the ground.

"...I have mixed feelings about this introduction.", Phil commented.

"It's a work-in-progress.", Apple Bloom replied.

"Anyways," Phil continued. "Could any of you tell me where I am?"

"You're in our HQ, of course!", Sweetie Belle answered.

"No, I don't mean that," Phil replied. "How can I explain it..."

"Which town you're in?", Apple Bloom suggested.

"Yes! That one.", Phil replied. "So, which town am I in?", he asked.

"Ponyville, of course!", Sweetie answered again.

"Oh.", Phil replied.

"And, how can you talk without a mouth?", Scootaloo asked.

"I HAVE a mouth.", Phil answered with a hint of annoyance.

"How so? I don' see it.", Apple Bloom replied.

"It's just not visible. The only other person I've seen who haves a visible mouth is Smiley, one of my friends.", Phil answered again.

"Oooh.", the two replied.

"By the way, what's your name?", Sweetie asked.

"Phil Eggtree.", he answered.

"Oh.", she replied. In an instant, she remembered about the book they got from the library. "Oh, right! We forgot about the book!", she commented as she went towards the book, and dragged it with her mouth.

Phil stared as the three fillies were looking through the book, flipping each page rapidly. This was going to be loooong...
