An experiment goes wrong and Phil is sent to another dimension, and is found by three fillies.

WARNING: This is one of my older stories. It is going to suck. I have no intention of ever continuing this stain on the Riddle School/Transfer franchise.

(This is a crossover between Riddle School or Riddle Transfer and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) During one of the Science fairs at Riddle Elementary School, Smiley's project happens to malfunction, and it ends up sending Phil unconsious towards the Everfree Forest. Conviently for him, the three Cutie Mark Crusaders were on the Everfree looking for a way to earn cutie marks in plant knowledge, and they happened to find the young kid unconsious on the top of a tree. Eventually, Phil is discovered by some ponies. However, he discovers there's more than meets the eye in the dimension he is in. Cover art is a picture from the game Riddle Transfer. Not done by me.

After former Stalwart Leader Phil Eggtree managed to free Area 5.1 from Shaw DeLot's control, Phil proceeded to live a normal life through the Riddle Elementary School along with his three friends, Helping Hand Phred Whistler, Ex-human Fireplace Zack Kelvin and Eager Scholar Smiley Sundae.

A Science fair was scheduled for October 19th, 2012. This Science Fair was projected to be made in groups of 2. Phil didn't had anything original in his mind, and since Phil wasn't heavy enough to assist in Phred's project(which required a quite heavy assistant, but not as heavy as Chubb), he had to stick with Smiley, mainly because she was generally smarter than the other students, and that she was the only other student who didn't had an assistant.

"Do you mind if I be your assistant?", Phil asked.

"Not really, even though you made that mustard-me.", Smiley replied, reminding Phil of the time he made the school-famous Smiley Smudge with mustard on the elementary school(that was why Phil was sent to a special class, and eventually, to escape school, causing the evil alien Viz to believe there was evil intent on Earth and to anniquilate the planet).

"Hey, I was bored. That, and I was only 5 years old.", Phil countered.

"Well, it doesn't matters anymore. Well, as long as you did learned a lesson when we headed back to earth along Diz. You did, right?", Smiley continued.

"Yeah, I learned.", Phil replied.

Their little chat was interrupted as it was their turn to show the experiment. Smiley prepared to turn on the machine. It is supposed to throw in a X-Ray in the voluntary's body, revealing what is inside them. However, little did the two know that a small piece of the clever device is missing. Oddly enough, the machine had to make a portal within the body of the volunteer, which would happen to be another dimension. Then, it would project what it looks like in the front of the volunteer. This object would prevent the volunteer from being sucked in the portal. What's funny is that the portal will send the victim to a random dimension.

"Okay, now, we just turn the device, and...", Smiley commented as she turned the key. What you expected just happened.

"Uhh, what's happenin-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!", Phil yelled as he was sucked into the portal.

"....that was not supposed to happen.", Smiley replied as he opened the hatch of the device. "Ah, I see the problem. The cookie-like device that's supposed to prevent Phil from being sent to another dimension is missing!", she pointed out.

"That's not a cookie? Oops...", Chubb replied.

"Well, what do we do, now? Phil's the only one in our group who can resolve those kind of problems, and it was just him who vanished.", Phred commented.

"This is worst than the times I was still freezing...", Zack also commented. After remembering the times he shivered coldly, he instantly replied again. "Thinking better, I think it's not as bad as that.", he countered himself.

"Okay, what do you girls think we should crusade now? I'm outta ideas.", Scootaloo commented.

"I'm out of ideas, too.", Sweetie Belle replied.

"Oh, I know!", Apple Bloom spoke. "We shoul' be plant researchers!", she suggested.

"Plant researchers? That's too...dull.", Scootaloo replied.

"Actually, I think it's a good idea. Unlike the other crusading we did, it's not too dangerous.", Sweetie Belle defended.

"But how would even our cutie marks look like?", Scootaloo insisted.

"Maybe some leaves an' a book?", Apple Bloom suggested.

"You don't understand me, don't you?", Scootaloo asked. Apple Bloom and Sweetie belle shook their heads in response. Scootaloo face-hoofed. "What I'm saying is that plant researching is too boring. Why don't we do something cooler?", she suggested.

"Scootaloo, leaf researching is one of the very few ideas that we still haven't tried.", Sweetie responded. Scootaloo was about to reply, but Sweetie interrupted. "No, we can't do the other ideas because we still haven't thought about them.", she continued. Scootaloo grunted and leaned backwards. However, instantly she perked up.

"Oh, I know! Why don't we look for the plants in the Everfree Forest?", she suggested.

"You remember our sisters...and parents... prohibited us from enterin' the Everfree again, right?", Apple Bloom asked to make sure.

"I know, but it will be just a short visit, and it's for a good cause!", she countered.

"*sigh* Alright, but if they find out, we will blame you.", Sweetie Belle gave in.

"Well, what are we waitin' for?", Apple Bloom asked. The three inhaled deeply, and...

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADER PLANT RESEARCHERS!!", the three yelled in unison as they trotted to the forbidden forest.

"Remember the time I mentioned that this place gave me the freaks?", Sweetie asked. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo nodded. "Well, it still gives me them.".

"It gives everyone the freaks. Well, obviously except Rainbow Dash.", Scootaloo replied, adding the obvious part to the end.

"So, which plant should we research first?", Apple Bloom asked.

"How about that?", Sweetie suggested, pointing to a bush.

"Nope, too small.", Scootaloo replied.

"And about that one?", Apple Bloom suggested.

"Nope, too big.", Scootaloo replied again.

Some time later...

"And that one?"

"Too defected."

"What about this?"

"Too fat."

The three have been travelling for quite a long time through the Everfree Forest. They even were reaching the river next to the abandoned castle that the battle against Nightmare Moon took place.

"A-HA! That one is PERFECT!", Scootaloo suggested. She immediatly ran towards the tree. Scoot and Sweetie kept inspecting the bottom of the tree, but Apple Bloom never kept eyes out of the branches.

"Hand me the notepad, Sweetie.", Scootaloo ordered.

"I was supposed to bring them?!", Sweetie asked. Scootaloo double face-hoofed and fell to the floor.

"Uh, girls? You might want to check out that.", Apple Bloom broke in as she pointed to an odd creature. A very odd creature. Maybe even the oddest creature the three have seen, even odder than the cockatrice.

A beige bipedal creature with green and blue hair and brown, toeless feet resting on a branch.

End of Prologue

Chapter 1

"Okay, what in Equestria is THAT?!", Sweetie Belle asked.

"Girls....I believe we have just discovered a whole new species! We're Creature finders!", Scootaloo pointed out.

"...Really? We will be famous!", Sweetie replied.

"An' then Diamond Tiara will have no reason ta mock us!", Apple Bloom added.

"Those two things are nice, but know what's the best? WE WILL BE FINALLY GETTING OUR CUTIE MARKS!!", she celebrated. This caused the two other fillies to join in the celebration.

"Shhhh....we don' want ta wake the creature up, it might flee or attack us.", Apple Bloom quietly pointed out. The two other school fillies nodded.

"So, how can we catch it?", Sweetie asked.

"We can toss a rope around him and push him.", Scootaloo suggested.

Apple Bloom didn't brought any ropes, though, she saw some vines on the 'fat' tree. She ran over there and catched the vine, and ran back. She started to gain momentum with the rope, and finally tossed it with high speed. Oddly enough, the end of the rope started to make loops around the sleeping creature, immobilizing him in case it wakes up. With all her might, she pushed the rope, slightly moving the bipedal thing until it literally fell out of the branch. And the creature still didn't woke up.

"...it's still sleeping? Wow, I thought it would wake up with the impact.", Sweetie commented.

"It seems this creature likes sleeping...remind me of this when we get back to the base.", Scootaloo replied.

"Ufm....a li'l helf herfe?", Apple Bloom asked. Sweetie and Scootaloo proceeded to push the creature from behind, easening the job for the farm filly.

"Hm? Where am I?", Phil asked as he slowly got up.

"YOU ARE AT LIMBO.", a voice answered.

"Huh? Who said that? And where is this 'Limbo'?", Phil asked again.

"I AM THE GUARD, RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING THE DIMENSION BARRIERS HEALTHY AND PROTECTED. ALSO TO PREVENT DIMENSION WARPING. LIMBO IS LOCATED AT THE VOID, THE SECTION THAT SEPERATES EACH DIMENSION. WHENEVER SOMEONE DIMENSION-WARPS, THEY BRIEFLY GET AT LIMBO, THOUGH, THEY STAY THERE FOR LESS THAN A SECOND BECAUSE THEY'RE AWAKE. YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE UNCONSIOUS, THEREFORE, YOU ARE STUCK IN LIMBO.", the voice answered.

"But I don't remember Smiley's project being a dimension warper. I know that on October 11th, she said that she would make a machine that reveals the inside organs. That, or she changed her mind.", Phil noted.

"NO, SHE DIDN'T CHANGED HER MIND. INSTEAD, A RATHER FAT KID ATE A PIECE OF HER MACHINE THAT ODDLY ENOUGH, WAS SHAPED LIKE A COOKIE.", a different voice called out.

"Oh, it was Chubb. I knew it. But hang on, your voice changed. Are you someone else?", he asked.

"I AM FATE, GUARD'S FRIEND.", the voice revealed itself.

"Uh, nice to meet you, Fate. You too, Guard.", Phil replied with a raised eyebrow. "But still, how can I leave Limbo?", he asked again.

"LIKE I SAID, YOU ARE IN LIMBO BECAUSE YOU ARE UNCONSIOUS. AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP, YOU'LL LEAVE LIMBO AND HEAD ON TO THE DIMENSION YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW. HOWEVER, IF YOU SUFFER SEVERE DAMAGE WHILE UNCONSIOUS, YOU MIGHT DIE, AND HEAD TO HEAVEN OR HELL., Guard answered.

"I'd prefer waking up, as I don't know if I will be either in Heaven or Hell.", Phil replied.

"WELL, AT FIRST, SINCE YOU ESCAPED SCHOOL, YOU WOULD GO TO HELL, BUT WHEN YOU SAVED THE WORLD AND LEARNED TO STAY IN SCHOOL, THE TABLES FLIPPED, AND YOU WOULD HEAD TO HEAVEN. YOUR FATE IS STILL SEALED TO HEAVEN, BUT IF YOU DO SOMETHING BAD, IT WILL TURN BACK TO HELL AGAIN.", Fate pointed out.

"Okay, then. I guess there's little I can do right now.", he commented.

After countless minutes of cruising the spooky forest, avoiding contact with other animals, fleeing from Timber Wolves seeking to devour three little pony meals and a special, unknown dessert, and finally having trouble bringing the creature upstairs to the treehouse, the three school fillies were completely exhausted.

"Well, we recieved our cutie marks, didn't we?", Scootaloo pointed out. The three fillies looked at their flanks.

Blanks.

"No...", Sweetie answered. The three let out a sigh.

"Maybe we still have to make anotations about him?", Sweetie suggested.

"Oh, right! I was almost forgetting!", Scootaloo replied as she got up and headed to the drawer. She started to toss a pile of items away, finally reaching a notepad and a pencil. "What I asked for you girls to remind me of?", she asked.

"That the creature likes sleeping.", Sweetie answered. Scootaloo nodded and proceeded to write down.

"Don't we have to give it a scientific name, like all scientists do?", Sweetie Belle asked.

"Oh, right! How we should name it?", Scootaloo asked.

"Since it seems to stand on only two legs, I think the first name should be Dual-feet.", Sweetie suggested.

"Right...duu-al-feet. And the second name?", Scootaloo asked again.

"Uh, girls? This creature seems awfully familiar...", Apple Bloom broke in.

"How so?", the two other fillies asked.

"I remember when mah sister readed those stories when I was younger. One of the stories featured a bipedal creatured that looked exactly like 'im. Except the middle fur.", she answered. "The creature's upper fur was orange an' didn't covered all the way 'till the hooves. It went just 'till the elbows. The lower fur was the same. His feet was black instead of brown. An' he had fur on the top of the head. Oh, an' he had a mouth.", she described.

"Well, this one doesn't haves a mouth, so it's still a different species.", Scootaloo countered.

"Scoot, I personally think that this creature is the same of the one in the story that Apple Bloom saw.", Sweetie pointed out.

"Ugh. Well, there goes our cutie marks.", Scootaloo commented.

"Hey, that don' prevents us from keeping this human!", Apple Bloom replied to cheer Scootaloo up.

"A what?", Sweetie and Scootaloo asked in unison.

"That's how they were called in the book.", Apple Bloom explained.

"Oh.", the two replied.

"So, how exactly should we know anything about 'im?", Apple Bloom asked.

"We should get the books in Twilight's library, of course!", Scootaloo answered. The three inhaled deeply, and...

"TO TWILIGHT'S LIBRARY!!"

And they all trotted rapidly to the tree-house(hurr durr) that houses books(HURR DURR). Little did they know that the noise was awakening the human.

"Hey, why I'm feeling so dizzy?", Phil asked.

"IT MEANS YOU ARE WAKING UP. WE HOPE YOU FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO YOUR DIMENSION SOON. OH, AND DON'T HEAD TO THE FOREST IN THIS DIMENSION, EVEN IF IT SEEMS COMPLETELY NORMAL TO YOU.", Guard answered.

"Okay. I'll keep that in mind.", he continued.

Phil slowly opened his eyes, and was met with a wooden roof. He tried getting up, but found out his arms were immobilized. By vines.

"Vines? Whoever tied me up must've been lacking materials and used a makeshift weapon.", Phil commented as he used his legs' might to pull himself up.

End of Chapter 1

Chapter 2

"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...

End of Chapter 2

Chapter 3

"So, how does this work?", Phil asked.

"Easy! We will select a question from this book, ask it to you, and you'll say if it is true or not. Got it?", Sweetie Belle explained.

"Yes, got it.", Phil replied.

"Here it says that humans have to eat meat to survive...is it true?", she asked.

"Well, yes and no. Yes because we do eat meat, and no because we don't need to rely on meat to survive. If we did, the animal species would be entirely extinct by now, and without food, the human race would proceed to eat themselves until there is one last human standing. And that human would die of starvation.", Phil answered. Seeing that the three fillies were doing 'English, please?' faces, he simplified. "In other words, we also eat veggies and fruits.", he continued. The three ponies replied by doing the cliché 'Ooh'. Scootaloo proceeded to scribble in her notepad.

"An' here it says that humans lack harmony an' often...kill each other...is this true?", Apple Bloom asked.

"Like before, yes and no. Yes because, unfortunaly, we do lack harmony, and most humans aren't friendly among each other. No because we arent extremely violent and kill the first other human we see. Sure, there are bandits who assault and sometimes kill other humans, but not everyone is a bandit.", Phil answered.

"What about this one: Humans are selfish, and plan to...dominate the entire galaxy?", Scootaloo asked.

"...NO.", Phil answered quickly.

It was a very long time of Q&A with the little ponies. Phil was glad when the book reached chapter 6, so he could finally stop answering those ridiculous questions. Less than a quarter of the statements there were actually true. Phil fell on his back to rest with the moment, but a question interrupted him.

"So, where he will sleep?", Apple Bloom asked. Phil immediatly got up when he heard that.

"Have you forgotten that we caught him in the Everfree? It's obvious that he lives there!", Scootaloo pointed out.

"What do you mean? I don't live here. An accident with Smiley's machine sent me here.", Phil explained.

"Ooh.", they replied.

"And what is this 'Everfree' you are talking about?", he asked.

"The Everfree is a strange, mythical forest.", Sweetie explained.

"Clouds move on their own," Scootaloo added.

"An' animals take care of 'emselves..." Apple Bloom added.

"All on their own!", the three spoke up at the same time. Phil raised an eyebrow.

"Seems pretty normal to me.", he commented.

"If your world's clouds and animals move and take care of themselves on their own, I'm glad not to be there.", Scootaloo replied.

"Okay. For me, it's stranger to live in a world where weather is maunally controlled and animals rely on their owners to live rather than living in a place where they take care of themselves. No offense, though.", he responded to Scootaloo's reply.

"So, where will he stay in for the night? The sun is starting to set, and my sister will snap at me if I return home late again.", Sweetie remindered the others about the original subject.

"Surely he cannot sleep at our clubhouse.", Scootaloo pointed out.

"Oh, I know! He could sleep at the basement of the farm!", Apple Bloom suggested.

"Well, atleast it's better than crawling through an air vent. I promised to myself not to do it again.", Phil commented.

"I'm starting to have second thoughts about sleeping behind a pile of hay.", Phil said.

"I'm afraid there's no turnin' back right now. It's alterady sunset, an' mah sister says it's not safe ta wander 'round night.", Apple Bloom replied. "An' this hay is ta prevent her or mah brother from seein' ya sleepin' here. If ya sleep in the open, they might see ya there if they come in.", she continued.

"What's the problem in them seeing me? Couldn't you just ask them if I could stay here?", Phil asked.

"Uh, me an' mah friends don' know how other ponies would react upon seein' a human. So, it's best for us to hide ya.", she explained. With that said, she headed out.

'I hope I can get out of here ASAP.' Phil thought.

Apple Bloom finally reached upstairs, and to her surprise, she found Twilight talking to Applejack. Since she was in hearing range, she could hear what they were talking.

"What d'ya mean, Twi? Don' ya know humans are non-existant?", Applejack asked.

"I know, but, since what happened in the library just today, I honestly think they're hiding something.", Twilight responded.

"An' what exactly happened there?", the farm pony asked.

"Spike told me that they came in asking a book about humans, and that when he asked them why, Sweetie briefly answered 'Oh, we have fo-', and Apple Bloom put her hoof on Sweetie's mouth, while answering that they just got curious about them.", Twilight explained.

"Mmm, now that ya said it, I can sense they ARE hidin' somethin'.", Applejack replied.

Apple Bloom gulped. She knew there was no lieing for her sister. She proceeded to sneak around the path, hopefully not being seen, and...

"Hey, you there, missy!", Applejack yelled while pointing her right hoof towards her younger sister. Apple Bloom gasped, and slowly made her way next to her sister and Twilight.

"Yes, sis?", she asked.

"Why ya came late home? Didn't I told ya to come back before 17:00? It's alterady 18:30!" she scolded.

"Oh, um...I got too distracted with my friends, an' I lost track of time! Sorry!", she apologied and ran inside.

"...she's not tellin' the truth."

The next day...

Apple Bloom hastily woke up from her bed after a hard night of sleep. She couldn't take the fact that she just lied to the Element of Honesty that incidentally was her own sister. She could, of course, reveal the truth. But, on the other hand, she didn't knew what they would do with Phil. So, it was two choices: Keep a rare human but keep guilty, or Reveal the truth to remove guilty, but also presumably give a bad fate to the human. It was a tight choice. And she knew that Applejack would keep pressing her to tell the truth. She got out of her bed and walked downstairs for breakfast.

"Mornin', granny, bro', sis'...", she said.

"Mornin'", they replied back. Granny Smith on her casual tired voice, Big Mac on his low-pitched voice, and Applejack with an annoyed tone. Apple Bloom sighed, and proceeded to eat breakfast and then get ready for class(which convieniently would have at October 20th because Equestria's dates are different from Earth's dates. This meant that, on Earth, October 20th is Saturday, and in Equestria, it's Monday).

"Oh, hi Apple Bloom!", Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo called out.

"Hi...", she replied.

"What happened? You didn't told the truth, did you?", Scootaloo asked.

"No...it's jus' that Twilight told mah sis' about how we suddently asked for a human book, an' how Sweetie was about ta say that he foun' Phil.", she answered.

"It's my fault then.", Sweetie apologized. "If I wasn't so wide-mouthed, I wouldn't blurt out about that human.", she continued.

"Human?", a very familiar voice called out. The three turned aroudn to find their two nemeses.

"Oh, please, don't tell me the three blank-flanks still believe in those worthless stories about humans.", Diamond Tiara commented.

"Yeah! Humans are pathetic.", Silver Spoon added.

"You don't even know anything about humans, Diamond Tiara. You too, Silver Spoon.", Scootaloo countered.

"How so?", Diamond countered, staring daggers.

"Because we have fo-", Sweetie joined in, only to slap herself in the mouth. The two fillies bursted out in laughter.

"You have FOUND a human? That's....that's rich!" Diamond mocked.

"And you expected that we would respect you for simply claiming that you found a human?" Silver added. They kept on laughing, but fortunaly for the crusaders, the school bell rang, meaning the two would have to go to class.

"See you at class, blank-flanks!", Diamond and Silver said at the same time.

"...I hate my mouth.", Sweetie commented as the three headed inside.

"Alright, alright, chill down, class!", Cheerilee said, causing all of the students to remain quiet. "Thank you. Today, we will talk about one of Equestria's most mythical creature.", she said. All ponies leaned in. "I'm pretty sure each of you have heard fantasy stories about the humans when you were younger. Today, we will talk about them.", she commented.

'What a coincidence.', Apple Bloom thought.

"What a coincidence!" Sweetie mentioned.

"What do you mean, Sweetie?" Cheerilee asked.

"Oh, um, it's because earlier today, me and my friends were having a discussion about humans.", she explained, but obviously not telling the full truth.

"They claimed that they have found a real human, and that we all should respect them!", Silver 'fixed'. Everypony (minus the CMC and Cheerilee) started laughing.

"Silence, class!" Cheerilee orded, gently hitting her stick on the chalkboard. "Silver Spoon, another time and you'll have a little chat with me after class.", she scolded. Silver groaned.

"Next time, you won't be so lucky.", she whispered to Sweetie's ear.

"Anyway, as you know, humans are tall creatures who, unlike us who stand on four feet, only stand on two. This means they aren't as good as we are on running. However, they make it up for having fingers. They have five fingers, each with their own name. The first finger is the thumb. The second is the index. The third is the middle, the fourth is the ring, and the fifth is the little finger, but it can also be called 'pinky'.", she told. Snips raised a hoof. "Yes, Snips?"

"So, this means their fifth finger is pink?" he asked. Cheerilee chuckled before answering.

"No, it isn't. It is just a nickname for their finger. Moving on, most humans generally wear clothes and never stay without them. This is because they don't have much fur in their body.", she continued. This time, it was Scootaloo who raised her hoof. "Yes, Scootaloo?"

"I think it's not like that. I think it's because they have a rule amongst themselves that prohibites standing naked in public. Just my idea, though.", she said.

"It seems to be a nice idea! I'm writing this.", the teacher replied as she wrote down on a notepad. As soon as she finished, the school bell rang. "Lunch time!", she said. All students ran outside as fast as possible.

"Geez, Sweetie, you really need to control your mouth. If you keep like that, you might end up blurting out everything!", Scootaloo scolded.

"Sorry..I just cannot hold it!", she apoloziged.

"Hey, you three!", the same voice called again. "You can't simply have those ideas out of the blue. Who did told you about it?" Diamond asked.

"Phil Eggtree, of course!", Sweetie blurted out again. When she realized that, she sighed.

"And who is this 'Phil Eggtree' you talk about? I never heard about him in town, so don't tell me he lived there!", she asked again.

"He's a biologist pony who just moved.", Sweetie 'answered', oblivious to the Golden Rule of Ponyville.

"If he just moved, Ms. Pink cotton candy would have alterady gaven him a 'Welcome!' party, now wouldn't her?", Silver countered.

"He's not the partying time, of course.", Scootaloo answered. The two fillies grunted and walked away.

"That was very close..." Apple Bloom commented.

"They are lieing, aren't them?" Silver asked.

"Yes, they are. And we will discover the truth." Diamond answered.

End of Chapter 3

Chapter 4

Some time later...

After countless times revealing the actual truth about humans, school had finally ended. The three fillies happily ran back to Sweet Apple Acres to take Phil back to their clubhouse. However, little did they knew that they were being followed.

Apple Bloom looked around to see if her brother or sister was there to see anything. After it was secured that the area was clean, she opened the hatch to the basement, and instantly ran down, with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo standing around to see if anypony would come.

"About time, isn't it?" Phil asked with his arms crossed.

"Sorry, we had ta go to school.", Apple Bloom explained.

"School on Saturdays? Now I see that Mr. Soggy was right.", Phil replied.

"Saturday? What do ya mean by saturday? It's monday!" she asked.

"I'm pretty sure yesterday was Friday, so it's Saturday now. Well, unless your dimension haves different dates.", he answered.

"An' who is this 'Mr. Soggy' ya referred to? Another of your friends?" Apple Bloom asked again.

"Not quite. He was one of my dream teachers. I don't know if he's real yet, but in my dream, he wrote 'STUDY FOR THE TEST ON SATURDAY' in the chalkboard.", Phil explained.

"An' what was this dream about?" Apple Bloom asked yet again.

"You'll see later on." Phil answered.

In that exact time...

"Oh! Oh my god!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"What is it, darling?" Rarity asked.

"Somepony just broke the fourth wall and posted a spoiler at the same time!" Pinkie explained.

"...What?"Rarity asked.

Back to the scene...

"Do you see that, Silver?" Diamond Tiara whispered.

"Yes! One of those creepy human thingies! They were right!" Silver Spoon replied.

"But, judging by the way they are taking him out of a basement, it's obvious that they are hiding him from other ponies. Do you see where I am getting to?" Diamond suggested with a smirk.

"Yes, I do." Silver replied.

"Ok, let's head quickly to the clubhouse before somepo-" Scootaloo began, but was interrupted by sounds of something moving through the bushes.

"A-HAH!" Diamond spoke as she and Silver jumped out of the bush.

"You again?" Scootaloo replied, rolling her eyes.

"Yes, we again! Because we don't get fooled by your stupid attempt of hiding this human!" Silver responded.

"...you talked about my incident, right?" Phil asked to the three fillies.

"Be quiet, human! And how can he even talk without a mouth?" Diamond ordered.

"I have a mouth." Phil corrected.

"I told you to remain quiet, human!" Diamond barked. This argument unfortunaly gained the attention from Applejack, who was about to take a break.

"Hey, hey, wha......what's THAT thing?!" Applejack asked.

"It's a human, that those three were hiding from everypony!" Diamond revealed.

"Uh, nice to meet you.." Phil greeted as he awkwardly waved his right hand.

"....I'm callin' Twilight to see this!" she commented as she trotted towards downtown.

"No! Sis! Don' do that!" Apple Bloom yelled as she ran frantically behind her older sister.

"It's over, Applebloom!" Silver commented, instinctively causing Apple Bloom to stop.

"Yeah! There's nothing more you can do right now. Twilight's going to call the Princesses, and they will jail this human for eternal testing!" Diamond added. She turned towards Phil. "You'll enjoy the show, won't you?" She asked with an evil smirk.

"Somehow I really doubt that." Phil answered.

Meanwhile in Ponyville...

Twilight was busy in Ponyville trying to find Rarity to warn her about what happened, though, her attention swapped to her other friend Applejack as she same was running towards Twilight in a rather fast speed that put Rainbow Dash's on-foot speed to shame.

"Twilight! *pant* Twi!" she yelled.

"Applejack? What's wrong?" Twilight asked.

"Re...remember ye..yesterday about the incident?" Applejack replied.

"Yes, I was going to warn Rarity about it right now. But why are you talking about it?" Twilight asked again.

"...I have spotted the crusaders with the human!" Applejack answered.

"Really? What are we waiting for?" Twilight replied as she teleported both her and Applejack to Sweet Apple Acres.

Unfortunaly, when Applejack mentioned the word 'human', a certain mint-green mare stopped dead on her tracks.

"Lyra? Lyra, what's wrong?" Bon Bon asked.

"She...she mentioned human! There's a human in Ponyville!" Lyra answered.

"Oh, not this again." Bon Bon replied as she sighed.

"Quick! Let's get out of here before she comes back!" Sweetie suggested. However, as soon as the four were about to take off, the two other fillies prevented them from escaping.

"Oh no, but you won't escape!" Diamond threatened.

"There's no way you can defend your human friend now!" Silver added.

"Could you please address me as Phil instead?" Phil asked.

"Oh, so it was you who the three blank-flanks were referring to!" Silver accused.

"Uh, Silver, it was pretty obvious." Diamond replied. Their chat was cut short as the lavender mare teleported right next to the six, accompanyed by Applejack.

"My god, it's an actual human! They really exist! Though, he's smaller than what I expected him to be....and I thought they had mouths." Twilight commented, inspecting Phil up and down.

"For the last time, I DO have a mouth!" Phil angrily replied.

"Oh! Sorry, I just couldn't see it!" Twilight apologized.

"Yeah, the only other person I know back home who haves a visible mouth is Smiley." Phil replied.

"So, what will ya do to him, Twi?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Such a stupid question. It's obvious she will report him to Princess Celestia so she can jail him for eternity!" Diamond replied.

"Actually, I was only going to perform some tests on him." Twilight answered.

"Oh, good. I thought I would never see my friends again." Phil commented.

"Well, what are we waiting for? To the library!" Twilight said as she teleported herself and Phil to the library.

"..She alyways forgets other ponies." Applejack said. Instantly, Twilight teleported back.

"Sorry!" she said with a sheepish green as she teleported everypony to the library.

End of Chapter 4

Chapter 5

"Whoa! Don't give me another heart attack again, please!" Spike asked.

"Heh, sorry about that, Spike!" Twilight apologized with a sheepish smile.

"Hang on...he's a dragon?!" Phil asked.

"Well, yes, he is just a baby dragon." Sweetie Belle explained.

"Hi. I take it that you're the mentioned human?" Spike asked as he offered a handshake.

"Yes, I am, and it seems I'm quite known." Phil commented as he returned the handshake.

"Actually, only me, Twi, Spike, the CMC, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon know about yer existance. But just be careful if a mint green pony takes notice of ya. She's too obsessed with humans." Applejack pointed out.

"I'll keep that in mind." Phil replied. "Oh, by the way," Phil asked. "How come some ponies are big, and others are small?"

"The bigger ponies are adults, the smaller are foals." Twilight explained as she guided him and the others downstairs.

"Foals?" Phil asked again.

"You don't know what a foal is?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, I sure do." Phil answered as he rolled his eyes.

"Then why you even asked?" Twilight asked.

"...you don't understand sarcasm, don't you?" Phil asked with a deadpan look.

"We don't even use sarcasm around here." Twilight answered.

"Oh. To answer your previous question, I obviously don't know." Phil replied.

"A foal is a young pony." Twilight explained.

"Funny, in Earth, they are called children." Phil repsonded.

"Anyway, could you sit in this machine, please?" she asked. Phil nodded as he sat down. He instantly regretted doing that as metallic bars instantly appeared around Phil's arms and torso, preventing him from escaping.

"Could you explain me why those bars are necessary?" Phil asked.

"They were here because this machine was originally intended to be used on Pinkie Pie, and since Pinkie is random, she could attempt to escape. However, these bars are still useful in case you attempt to escape." Twilight explained.

"Uh, Twi?" Applejack asked. "Are ya sure this machine won't hurt 'im?"

"Don't worry, it was completely harmless with Pinkie, so it won't be dangerous." she answered.

"...you remind me of Smiley." Phil commented.

"In a good, or bad way?" Twilight asked.

"That means you're a geek. No offense, though, and don't tell Smiley I said this." Phil answered.

"And how exactly does he looks like?" Twilight asked again.

"It's a she." Phil corrected. "And the key is to look at the face of one of the humans. If it haves a mouth, it's her. Also, she's one of the only 2 of my group that haves hair, the other being Zack, but just a little." he explained.

"Alright...but let's get started with the test." she replied as she pulled on a trigger. A metallic helmet lowered into Phil's head (barely missing it, since Pinkie is 2.5 inches taller than Phil, as is every other adult pony). As soon as it touched, Twilight's clever machine started to show the green lines, flashing lights and all those other trinkets.

"Strange....the machine doesn't seems to be producing anything from him." Twilight commented.

"Maybe ya shoul' go look for the manual of that thing?" Apple Bloom suggested.

"Alright. You don't leave, understand?" Twilight ordered. Phil did his best to nod, as the helmet was limiting his head movement. However, when everypony was gone, Phil instantly pulled both of his arms out of the metallic slots for the arms.

"I'm glad I am still 5, or else I wouldn't be able to do this." Phil said to himself. He looked at the machine. There was oddly enough a keyhole next to him. "Why would Twilight even have a keyhole on this machine if there's alterady a trigger?" Phil asked to himself again. He decided to attempt to hack the keyhole with the scissor he found earlier. He pulled it out of his pocket, and proceeded to attempt to use the metallic end of the scissor to turn the keyhole. Unfortunaly, the keyhole was mightier than the scissor, therefore, the plan was scrapped. Convieniently for him, there was a bengal resting on a table next to the machine.

"Hopefully, Twilight won't get mad at me for taking this bengal." Phil once again said to himself as he picked the bengal. Unfortunaly for him, the trigger would be activated if it was pulled upwards. If it had to be pulled downwards, then Phil would be able to pull it upwards with the bengal to deactivate it. But this isn't the case. He looked around the room, and he finally found a key strapped to a pole. Unfortunaly for him, it wasn't just a key. It was a whole key chain. He used the bengal to catch the keychain. The matter was worse than expected; the keys' names were written in gibberish. "Apparently, they don't write in English around here." Phil once again said to himself. He decided to test his luck. There were four keys; A yellow key, a silver key, a brown key, and a blue key. He decided to test the yellow key. He tried to put it in the keyhole. Nope. He tried the silver. Nah.

Now, Phil knew that it could be the cliché 'The last one is the right one'. Therefore, he jumped straight to the blue key. And to his surprise, it wasn't the blue key. "I just got trolled by the universe." Phil commented. He used the brown key, and guess what? It was the correct one. The lights of the machine turned out, and the metallic bars retreated. He was finally free. Surprise, surprise! He still had to leave the treehouse. He opened the door of the basement, and slowly made his way to the door, and...

"Hey, weren't you supopsed to be downstairs?" a voice called out. Phil literally froze, expecting it to be Twilight. Though, when he turned around, he realized it was actually Spike. "Yeah, nice attempt. Now head back inside!" he ordered. Phil instantly retreated back in.

"Great...now how can I get past him?" Phil yet again asked himself. That's when he noticed something he haven't noticed; A red ruby. If there was something Phil knew from the tales he readed back home is that Dragons are fond of rubies and other gems. "Sweet....this will help me get past him." Phil again said to himself. He kept the red ruby in his left hand, and opened the basement's door again.

"Haven't I told yo-Oooh!" Spike scolded again, only to stop mid-sentence after noticing the red ruby in Phil's left hand.

"You want it?" Phil asked. Spike instinctively nodded. "Then go get it!" he continued as he threw the ruby down the basement. The little dragon instantly ran after the ruby. Phil instantly closed the basement door, but just gently so Spike won't realize that Phil just tricked him.

After the baby dragon was taken care of, Phil headed to the main door. He opened just a little to spy on the world outside, but he was surprised to find that Ponyville was completely full of ponies wandering about. However, what made him panic is another thing. He could see the mint-green pony sitting in a bench a little far away. As soon as it noticed Phil on the door, he instantly closed it.

"It seems I won't be able to use the front door." Phil commented. He went slightly to the staircase to find a window that he could use to escape through the back of the library. To his luck, he found a window that was placed right next to a branch. He proceeded to move through the window, and...

"Hey! What do you think that you are doing?!" Diamond called out.

"I decided to relief myself from being stuck alone in that machine, and I couldn't help but try to have a view of Ponyville through this branch..." Phil lied.

"Don't you try to lie to me! TWILIGHT!!" Diamond yelled. Phil instantly jumped out of the branch, falling into the ground and proceeding to run behind some houses.

"Now I see what is wrong!" Twilight called out as she was reading the manual.

"What?" Asked the other 5 ponies.

"I forgot to change the machine's adaption. Since he is smaller than Pinkie Pie, the helmet wasn't reaching his head." Twilight explained.

"Don't you try to lie to me! TWILIGHT!!", a voice called out.

"Who said that?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Sounds like Diamond Tiara." Silver Spoon answered. Not like they cared too much, but they instantly headed to the staircase to see why she was yelling.

"What is it, Diamond?" Twilight asked.

"Phil escaped!" she answered.

"Who escaped?" she asked again.

"Phil is the name of the human." Silver explained.

"How he could have escaped? Spike was on the middle floor to prevent him from escaping!" Twilight pointed out. Just as she said that, Spike came in.

"Wow, that was very tasty! Hang on...where is he?" Spike asked. "Oh, don't tell me he tricked me into going after the red ruby in the basement...."

Meanwhile...

Phil was exhausted from running. He wasn't the type of sprinting, the only times he did it were when he had gathered the keys to the School door. And that was only once. The second time it was just a dream. Back to the story, Phil was simply too exhausted to continue. He came to a halt where he fell to the ground, gasping for air. He could hear some footstep noises that grew louder and louder. Phil, using his last bits of energy, looked upwards, to find the same mint-green pony he had sawn before.

"Oh, my! I had never seen a human up-close before!" She commented.

"Get...away....from me...." Phil blurted out before inevitably falling into a heavy sleep.

'...What? Oh, I get it. They probably told him to avoid me...those silly ponies, I don't know why they think I am crazy.' Lyra thought as she used her magic to teleport herself and the sleeping human to her house.

End of Chapter 5

Chapter 6 (T)

Notice: Chapters tagged as (T) mean they're Teen-rated chapters.

Chapter rated T becayse it involves five deaths.

"Well, where did he headed to?" Twilight asked.

"Not that I care, but he jumped out of the window and made his way behind the treehouse." Diamond answered.

"What are we waitin' for? After him!" Applejack pointed out as the ponies also used the window as a shortcut.

"Alright, let them do their jobs, Silver. Let's simply wa-Hey!" Diamond said to Silver, only to realize she wasn't there. "Ugh, she got too involved with the human." she commented.

The 6 ponies were alterady making their way behind the houses trying to loook for the fleeing human, looking around for his footsteps. Unfortunaly for them, they reached a dead end of the footstep trail. They could see instead hand marks on the floor, and then a head-shaped flat on the grass.

"Oh great. Lyra probably found him." Twilight commented.

"What do we do now?" Applejack asked.

"We force her to hand him back, of course!" Scootaloo answered.

"But we can't simply break into her house and demand her to hand him back. It's rude." Twilight countered.

"Why don't we politely ask, then?" Sweetie Belle suggested.

Meanwhile...

Phil slowly opened his eyes, but instantly forced them shut after he was met with blinding light. He opened them again, only to find the same mint green mare he had seen earlier standing above him. He instantly crawled backwards in shock.

"He's awake, finally!" Lyra called out.

"Geez, Lyra, have some respect! First you kidnap him, and then you give the poor boy a scare by standing on top of him!" Bon Bon scolded.

"Sorry!" Lyra apologized with a sheepish smile as she got out of the couch.

"Where am I?" Phil asked.

"You're in our house, of course!" Lyra explained.

"So..since you have alterady seen a human up-close, how about releasing him back?" Bon Bon suggested.

"No way! I'm keeping him for the rest of my life!" Lyra countered as she wrapped her right hoof around Phil.

"Uh, excuse me, but..." Phil replied as he freed himself from Lyra's hoof. "I'm afraid I cannot stay here." he continued.

"Yeah." Bon Bon added. "He probably haves friends back on his world that are most likely missing him." she added.

"Exactly. Phred, Zack and Smiley are my best friends, and I'd like very much to see them again." he replied.

"Then why don't you bring them here? That way you won't get lonely!" Lyra countered. Bon Bon face-hoofed.

"It's not how that works. I meant I'd both miss home and my friends. And I'm afraid I cannot bring Earth to here, neither bring you there." Phil replied.

"I'm sure I can find a solution to this. Just wait there, I have to write this in my diary!" she responded as she trotted rapidly upstairs.

"...I'm sorry for her weird acting. When it's about humans, there's nothing that can stop her." Bon Bon apologized.

"It's alright. As long as I don't fall in a lava pit, I'm fine." Phil replied.

"...What?" she asked at the phrase 'fall in a lava pit'.

"Nevermind, it's a long story." he replied. A knock on the door stopped their chat. Bon Bon went towards the door to open it.

"Hello?" she asked as she opened. "Oh, hi Twilight! How can I help you?"

"Hi, Bon Bon. We came here to ask if it was Lyra who caught Phil?" she asked.

"Oh, so his name is Phil? And yes, it was her. I swear, the next time she does it-" Bon Bon proceeded to talk about her roommate, only for Twilight to stop her.

"Hey, it's alright, we just need to talk to Lyra." Twilight shushed the mare.

"Sorry!" she apologized. "Lyra! It's for you!" she yelled.

"Wow, Bon Bon, why can't you let me stay atleast one minute in my room?!" she asked. "Oh! Hi there, Twilight!" she turned her behavior and waved to the lavender unicorn. She noticed Twilight was with a serious face. "Why are you serious?" she asked, her smile fading.

"You know what I'm talking about." Twilight replied.

"Oh, right..." Lyra responded.

"I'm so sorry for taking you by force, Phil. I have been so crazy trying to prove to others that humans actually exist, and after a long time without any, it started affecting my mind." Lyra apologized.

"Heh, it's alright. As long as I don't fall into a lava pit, I'm fine." Phil replied.

"...What?" everypony asked.

"Forget it." Phil responded.

"Anyways," Twilight said. "I simply have to tell Princess Celestia and my friends about this!" she continued.

"But won't she jail him or something for being a foreign creature?" Sweetie asked.

"I'm pretty sure Celestia isn't as evil as some ponies think she is. Well, unless Tyrant Celestia actually exists." Lyra answered.

"I personally think the first ones to call should be the other elements." Silver Spoon suggested.

"Yep, me too." Applejack replied.

"Then let's call all of 'em to meet up at the library!" Apple Bloom said. All other ponies nodded as they made their way outside (which thankfully was emptier as it was a calmer side of Ponyville). Phil, however, stopped mid-way, and turned around.

"Lyra?" he said.

"Yes?" she asked

"You can come too, if you want." he answered. In an instant, Lyra jumped with joy and started hopping around in circles like a little filly. She stopped on her tracks as soon as she noticed that.

"What are we waiting for, then? Let's go!" she said as she ran following the other ponies, Phil barely managing to keep up.

'Why do I alyways get left out?' Bon Bon thought.

"Hey! Rarity!" Twilight knocked in the door. She stepped backwards slightly as the door opened.

"Ohmygoshtwilighthaveyouseensweetiebelleicouldntfindherthewholeday!" Rarity screamed almost as fast as Pinkie Pie.

"Geez, calm down, Rarity! I cannot understand a single word of what you said!" Twilight replied.

"Oh, sorry, Twilight! It's just that Sweetie Belle had been out for the whole day, and I cannot seem to be able to find her!" Rarity explained.

"She's at the library right now," Twilight replied.

"Oh, thank goodness! But why? It's a pain to get her to read a single book, and now she's at the library, the home of books!" the fashion pony asked.

"Well, we just happened to find a human, and he's in the library. That's why she is in there." Twilight explained.

"A human? I thought humans were just from an old pony's tale." Rarity replied.

"Me too, but oddly enough, they actually existed. Well, could you help me regroup the other elements in the library?" Twilight asked.

"A NEW PONY IN TOWN?! THAT MEANS I GOT TO MAKE A NEW PARTY!! YAY!!" Pinkie yelled.

"Calm down, Pinkie! He's not exactly a pony, he's in reality a human." Twilight explained.

"A human? EVEN BETTER!! WE GOT TO INVITE THE WHOLE PONYVILLE TO THE PARTY!!" she yelled again.

"We cannot, darling! He's supposed to be a secret for now!" Rarity replied.

"Oh...sorry about that. Heh." Pinkie apologized.

"Calm...down...Rainbow Dash! Just because he's a human it doesn't means he's a threat!" Twilight barely said to calm the pegasus down.

"That's what you think! He could very well be a spy in disguise trying to fool us all into believing him!" Rainbow countered.

"But if he was a spy, then he would have revealed his truth alterady, now wouldn't he?" Pinkie pointed out.

"Oh. Still, I'm not fully trusting him." Dash replied.

"Please, Fluttershy! He's just a human! He's not a big monster!" Rarity asked.

"No! I won't leave!" Fluttershy protested as she held even tighter in the doorframe.

"C'mon, Flutters! I know he could very well be a spy, but that doesn't means he will bite you!" Dash pointed out.

"Yeah! Besides, he is with the Cutie Mark Crusaders right now, and they're not even in danger!" Pinkie added.

"WHAT?!" Fluttershy yelled as she flew faster than she normally could towards the library.

By the way, Twilight, where's the cowgirl?" Dash asked.

"Applejack's alterady inside. I know yesterday he was the whole time with the crusaders, but I wouldn't be crazy enough to leave them alone, even with Spike." she pointed out as she opened the door to the library.

Like you expected, the four elements (specially Fluttershy) were expecting said human to be an adult that is 2,03 meters tall. Needless to say that they were surprised to find that this human was actually a 5 year old kid. This fact calmed Fluttershy down.

"So, I take it that you're the Elements of Harmony?" Phil asked.

"Hang on...how can he speak without a mouth?" Dash asked.

"I HAVE A MOUTH!!" Phil yelled, unexpectedly scaring Fluttershy (and causing her to hide behind Rainbow Dash). "Sorry, I'm just tired of having to explain that I have a non-visible mouth." he apologized. Fluttershy slowly flew out of her hiding spot.

"No, I should be sorry for getting scared so easily." she replied.

"And to answer your question, yes, we are the six Elements of Harmony. Applejack is the Element of Honesty, Fluttershy is the Element of Kindness, Rarity is the Element of Generosity, Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyality, Pinkie Pie is the Element of Laughter, and I am the Element of Magic." Twilight answered as she pointed to each pony. "We together managed to defeat Nightmare Moon, an evil spirit who possessed the body of Princess Luna, the night princess. We also managed to defeat a monster once thought to be defeated; Discord, the Spirit of Disharmony." she continued.

"Wow, nice." Phil commented. "I mean, when I first came here, no offense, I thought I was stuck in some little girl's coloring book, but now I realize that it is actually a neat world that is not actually the safest to be." he continued.

"Well, after the invasion of the changelings led by Queen Chrysalis, Equestria had been at peace for quite a long time." Twilight replied. "Anyway, I simply have to present you to Princess Celestia. I'm sure she might help you head back to your world." she continued as she headed upstairs.

An awkward silence started at the bottom floor of the library.

"Well, what do you like doing?" Fluttershy quietly asked.

"My favorite thing is logical thinking. It helps me with many stuff." Phil replied.

"Like what?" Rarity asked.

"Generally puzzles, though it once helped me to escape school when I was too bored." he answered.

"You escaped school?!" everypony asked in shock.

"Yes, but if I didn't, I wouldn't have learned that I should stay in school." Phil answered. Obviously, everypony was confused as to how escaping school made somepony learn to stay in school. The only logical answer was grounding, and that's what everypony sticked with.

"Oh, and do you like eating cupcakes?" Pinkie asked.

"Yes, they're one of the best sweets I had eaten as of now." he answered.

"Yay! Then keep this free cupcake!" Pinkie offered. Phil took the cupcake and proceeded to take a bite of it (this was the only time they actually saw Phil's mouth being visible).

'Mmm....strawberry cupcake. My personnal favorite.' Phil thought.

"I had been storing this cupcake for new ponies, but nopony came to this town for like months, and..." Pinkie blabbed. As soon as she said 'months', Phil's eyes widened and he felt the urge to spit out. However, he didn't wanted to both look ungrateful and get Twilight's floor dirty, therefore, he had to swallow the outdated cupcake.

"You swallowed it? Wow, I was expecting for you to spit it out, but oh well!" she commented. Phil facepalmed after hearing that phrase. He prayed that the cupcake had no fungus, or else he would catch a diease.

"I've sent the.....hang on. Pinkie, you didn't gave him that 3-month old cupcake, did you?" Twilight asked.

"Uh..." Pinkie hesitated.

"Yes, she did, and I am feeling a horrible bellyache..." Phil commented. He then instantly ran upstairs to the nearest bathroom.

"Pinkie, don't you know that eating outdated cupcakes causes diarrheas?" Twilight scolded.

"Sorry! I just didn't wanted for that cupcake to be useless!" she apologized with a sheepish smile.

One toilet later...

Although that toilet was hard to use (since Phil is a human, not a pony), he managed to sucessfully accomplish his mission to kick out the contaminated food out of him. He headed upstairs, and noticed that the 11 ponies were impatiently waiting for him.

"Am I late to something?" Phil asked.

"Princess Celestia replied to my message, requesting us to take you to Canterlot, so she can take a look on you and see if she can help you get back home." Twilight explained, levitating the scroll.

"Oh. Sorry for taking so long, it seems that for one bit of cupcake equals 100 bits of you-know-what ." Phil explained. Obviously, all ponies made confused looks, except for Twilight, who made a surprise look.

"Honestly, judging by your age, I'm surprised to see that you know this type of math." Twilight commented.

"Yeah, I guess that my dreams about the seventh grade really affected my knowledge." Phil replied.

"Hey, sorry to be rude, but we got a train to take!" Dash interrupted. Phil and Twilight woke up from their chat, and the 11 ponies and 1 human headed to the train station.

Location: Canterlot, Equestria

The train finally reached the station after a long ride. Like alyways, the train station had guards all over the place. They didn't budged when Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Lyra, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon walked out of the train; their reaction was when Phil came out of the room, on which they angrily pointed their spears at him, causing him to instinctively raise his hands and step back.

"Hey, calm down! We're just bringing him to the royal castle with permission of the Princess!" Twilight called out.

"And how can we be sure of that?" a guard replied. Twilight answered by levitating the scroll she recieved from Celestia. "Oh. Sorry for the inconvenience. You all can pass through." the guard apologized as he and the other guards returned to their docile (but still on duty) positions. Phil lowered his hands and proceeded to walk along the 11 ponies.

"That was close." he commented.

"Yeah, guards tend ta be very strict." Apple Bloom commented.

Like they expected, all ponies were shifting their gazes at the human with the dull dark green hoodie. He simply stared back at them.

"Are we there yet? I don't feel comfortable being constantly looked at just because I'm different. Everybody's different, right?" Phil stated.

"Yes, but the reason everypony's looking at you is because most ponies believe humans are a false legend made by an old pony, that turned into fictional tales." Rarity explained. "Oh, there's the castle!" she continued.

The Canterlot castle was huge. It was the most identifiable structure in the capital, as it was located on the side of a mountain. Phil remembered seeing the castle when he was back in Ponyville.

"Let's enter it, then." Phil replied.

"Alright, Luna, when somepony offers you something, what should you do?" Celestia asked to her sister.

"I take it?" Luna answered.

"Well, yes, but what else?" the sun princess asked again.

"Uh..." she mumbled. She was reliefed when a guard came in.

"My highness, the Elements of Harmony and some other ponies came here saying that they alterady gathered a human." the guard said.

"Let them in. We'll continue this later, Luna." Celestia replied. Luna scrapped what she was guessing.

The six elements, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Lyra and Silver Spoon entered the room, with a humanoid figure in the background. Like with the other 4 elements, the royal princesses were expecting said human to be a 2,03 meters tall adult human, and therefore, were shocked to find that the human was actually a young kid.

"Ist he the human you were talking about, sister?" Luna asked, obviously slipping back into the 'royal we'.

"I suppose so. But I expected him to be taller." Celestia commented.

"Hey, just because I am short doesn't means I'm worthless." Phil replied.

"And how can he talk without a mouth?!" Luna asked yet again.

"This is the like the gazillionth time I'm explaining; I DO have a mouth!" Phil replied.

"Yeah, he haves, it's just invisible by something I couldn't discover why." Twilight commented.

"Well, that doesn't matters, as long as he can speak." Celestia replied. "Say, Mr. human. What is your name?"

"I am Phil Eggtree, I am 5 years old, my favorite thing is logical thinking, I have three friends back on Earth, and I saved the world." Phil described himself. However, instead of the others being impressed by the last bit, everypony bursted out laughing (specially Rainbow Dash and Princess Luna). Even Celestia and Fluttershy snickered a bit. "Why are you laughing? I am serious!" he asked.

"I seriously hope you're joking! How can a 5 year old child save the world? We're just 20 and we could barely save just a town!" she 'explained'.

"If you all could stop laughing, I could explain what I mean by it." he replied. All ponies stopped laughing, but some still wore a smile on their face. "Alright, it all began some days ago."

Flashback - Riddle School 1

"*Grooooan...*" Phil groaned.

"I've been sitting here for two hours straight listening to addiction facts." Phil mumbled to himself. "All because I teased somebody, I'm in a special class. I don't even have a smart teacher." he continued. "Right now I'm as free as a bird in a bird cage. Alright, that's it. I'm getting out of this school."

"What's 131 + 42 again? I forget." Mr. Kahm asked.

"*Groooooooan.*" Phil groaned again before slamming his face on the desk.

'The teacher may not be smart, but he knows when I open that door.' Phil thought as he stared at the door. He then looked at the pencil sharpener. 'That's it!' he thought again. "Hey, teacher! Could I sharpen my pencil?" Phil asked.

"Only one person at a time!" Mr. Kahm replied. As soon as he said that, Phil headed to the sharpener, but when Mr. Kahm looked away, Phil quietly opened the door and left class.

"Now that was sharp! (I can't believe I said that.)" Phil commented as he left the classroom. He looked at the school doors. 'The school doors are shut during school hours. I bet the principal has the keys.' Phil thought. 'I was there yesterday, when I was sent to that class......only last time, I was with the teacher.' he continued. 'It'll be harder this time. I don't even have a hall pass. There's a hall guard right before you reach the hall's end. Well, it's all the way down the hall and past the teacher's lounge. If I can make it there, I'm as good as free!'

Phil headed East, and just to spy a little, he decided to spy on Ms. Cophey's classroom. He slightly opened the door, and found something poking out of the dustbin. Phil ducked and crawled, hoping not to be noticed by Smiley, the girl he teased. He tried to reach the object with his tiny arm, and to his surprise...

'Wow, feather duster in a dustbin. Ironic.' he thought. He slowly crawled out of the classroom. He noticed done of the lockers were not locked. He opened it, and to his surprise, it was a hall pass. Just his luck.

Phil decided to return the feather duster to 808, the school's janitor. He headed to his closet and opened the door.

"WHAT are you doing?" 808 asked. "GET OUT OF MY CLOSET." he yelled. Before being kicked out, Phil delivered the feather duster to the janitor. "You found my feather duster! Keep the change. I've been looking all over school for this. The playground birds needed dusting." he thanked. "Well, I gave you a dollar. Don't waste it on socks." he added, and with that, Phil left the closet.

Phil kept heading down the hall past men's bathroom, finally meeting with another kid.

"Hey, it's me, Richy, the hall guard. Got a hall pass?" Richy asked.

"Yes, I do, so please get out of my way." Phil answered as he showed the hall pass. Richy moved out of the path. Phil kept heading East, walking past a poster he made about how the school had just 7 students and had more than 50 lockers, and finally reached the door to the teacher's lounge....that was being 'guarded' by Chubb.

"Oooooh, gimmie a cookie." Chubb asked. Phil walked past him to the cafeteria to get a cookie. The cafeteria was filled with blue and green goop, aswell with the Smiley Smudge, a replica of Smiley's face made with mustard. That was how Phil was sent to detention. The only other student who was in the cafeteria was Greg, who was sleeping like alyways.

Phil tried inserting the dollar in the cookie machine, but it was unfortunaly broken. He headed south, and then back to the office, where Chubb was sitting in front of the Office door.

"Pleease...just a cookie..." Chubb asked again.

"Take the dollar, fatty." Phil said as he threw the dollar above Chubb. The obese kid jumped to grab the dollar, on which he suceeded, but fell face-first to the floor. But that meant the door to the teacher's lounge was clear. He opened the door to enter, and arrived at the Box Office, just outside the principal's room.

"What are you DOING here?!" the teacher in the room asked angrily.

"I need to talk with the principal." Phil answered. But his answer did not satisfied the teacher.

"And why is THAT?" the blazing teacher asked yet again.

"I want to tell him a joke." he answered again. Oddly enough, this answer seemed to calm the teacher down.

"Oh, jokes are alyways fun! Go right on in." she replied. With that, Phil entered the room that the principal was in. Luckily for Phil, Mr, Cwesschyn, the principal, was sleeping. Which meant green light for key-stealing. Phil sneaked in next to his massive table, and took the silver key. Unfortunaly, the big principal woke up by that, and kicked the table, sending it to the floor. He stepped above it to catch Phil, but at that time, he had alterady left the room.

"How nice of you to drop by. Bye, then!" the teacher said. Phil left the room, and ran towards the school doors to use the key. He managed to open the door. Phil had escaped school, finally.

"Uh...that's it? You saved the world by just escaping school? That more likely turns you into a fugitive." Dash pointed out.

"Oh, this was just the beginning. I'm not done yet." Phil replied.

"Alright, what happened after that?" Celestia asked.

"Well..."

Flashback - Riddle School 2

It was a normal day at the Riddle Middle Schoo-

"Whoa, hold there, sugarcube. How come that, on the first story you just told us, you were on Riddle Elementary School, and now you jump right to Riddle Middle School?" Applejack asked.

"I'll get to that part later on." Phil answered. "Like I was saying..."

It was a normal day at the Riddle Middle School. And by normal, I mean boring. Phil looked around his music class. He started to think about a bee flying making 'Zzzzzz' noises. This proceeded to make Phil sleep on his musical stand. Which wasn't made for sleeping on. Which meant Phil came flying to the floor.

After Phil got up, he turned to his friend, Phred. "Hey, Phred, can you help me escape school again?" Phil asked.

"I have a whistle, as if that'd be useful." Phred replied.

"It might help. Can I have it?" he asked.

"Only if you have a dollar." his friend answered. Just as Phil started to wonder he could get a dollar, he noticed there were four quarters scattered around the bandroom. And since a quarter is 0.25¢, it meant he had enough to buy Phred's whistle. There was one next to Phred's feet, one next to Zack, one in Phil's musical stand, and the last one was on the drumset. Once Phil finished gathering the four coins, he handed them to Phred.

"Here's my whistle for that dollar you've got there. I don't actually use it, anyway." Phred said as he handed Phil his yellow whistle. He inhaled deeply, and discharged his breath in the whistle, knocking out Phred, Smiley, Mr. O. Boe, and completely freezing Zack.

"Here's your whistle back, Phred. I don't feel like stealing music from you at the moment." Phil commented as he handed Phred back his whistle. Phil again left his classroom and into the School hallway.

"Now THAT was A SHARP idea! (I can't believe I said that.)" Phil said to himself. He turned to the school doors. 'I can't get out. I'll bet the counselor at this school has the keys like last time. All I need to do is get to his office, grab the keys and make my escape.' he thought. 'Obviously, this is probably easier said than done...' he continued. '...unless, of course, you are mute...' he added. He walked to his default classroom, Mrs. Sleep's classroom, to take some of the items he had stored there.

"I think my trombone's slide oil could be of use...and I'll bring my 30 along, just in case." Phil said to himself. Obviously, he did not alerted Mrs. Sleep about it, as she, just like Greg, was sleeping. Phil left the classroom, and proceeded to walk to the counselor's office...just to realize Chubb was blocking the way, like before.

"Ooooh... I want a cookie...just a cookie...nothing else..." Chubb pleaded. Phil decided to enter the Teacher's lounge to see how much the cookies were. Once he found out they were 75¢, he was ready to leave...only for Mrs. Green to ask him a question.

"Why are you in here?!" she asked.

"Ooops. Wrong room." Phil lied as he made himself an excuse to get out. He faked to get in the bathroom. Though, he could hear Joe inside a bathroom stall.

"Um...Does anyone out there have toilet paper?" Joe asked.

"I'm afraid I don't have any on me." Phil replied. As he left the bathroom, he realized Mr. Sum's classroom light was on. Just to spy in there, he decided to enter his classroom.

"Have a nice visit while you're in here, and hurry back to class when you're finished." Mr. Sum said to Phil. He went to a 'pile' of papers (which consisted of only 2 papers, by the way), and managed to find another quarter. Like before, Phil noticed a locker was left unlocked. He opened it, and collected a coin he found in it. Phil headed east once again, and noticed that there was a roll of toilet paper on the vent.

'There's a roll of toilet paper in that vent! Who sticks toilet paper in vents?!' Phil thought. 'I WOULD go in and get it, but the vent cover is rusted shut.' he continued. That's when he remembered that he had picked up his slide oil. With it, he managed to get the toilet paper. He returned to men's bathroom. His footsteps alerted Joe, therefore, he asked the same question again (since Joe isn't very smart).

"Um...Does anyone out there have toilet paper?" Joe asked again. Phil tossed the roll above the stall's door, causing Joe to finally flush the toilet. He went in to the sinks to wash his hand, and instantly headed out of the bathroom.

"You're welcome." Phil replied. He then noticed that, oddly, Joe's stall had a mop. He instantly recognized it as the janitor's mop. He grabbed it, and dragged to the janitor's closet.

"What are you DOING HERE?" the janitor asked. Phil then handed him the mop. "Where'd you find my mop!? I've been looking all over for it! Thanks for returning it. Here's my last dime." the janitor thanked. "..and don't waste it on the school's cheesy pencils." the janitor warned. With that, Phil left the closet and headed to the teacher's lounge.

He tried to use the cookie machine, but unfortunaly, it didn't seemed functional. However, Phil noticed the problem; it was not plugged in. After plugging the machine in, he inFserted the 75¢ he had gathered. A cookie popped out of the machine. As soon as he left the lounge, he approached Chubb, and held the cookie next to his face. His eyes instantly widened. Phil slightly launched the cookie upwards, and it fell on Chubb's lap. His eyes never left the cookie. Eventually, he rammed the cookie with his own head, falling into the floor and opening the path to the office. Phil entered the office, and then, Mr. Mister's room. He approached Mr. Mister's desk (with Mister not doing anything). When Phil was at point-blank, he suddently took the key.

"I'M KEEPING THIS!" Phil yelled, and ran away.

"I think he took the key." Mr. Mister said to himself. Phil then ran towards the school door, used the key, and had sucessfully escaped school for the second time.

"And that's it? You escaped school for the second time? It doesn't looks like 'saving the world' to me, Phil." Twilight stated.

"Yeah, I'm not buying it, either." Scootaloo agreed.

"Can't you all wait? I'm not even halfway there yet. There's still eight more stuff I need to tell." Phil replied. All other ponies groaned.

Flashback - Riddle School 3

Phil was now at Riddle High Sch-

"High school now? Seriously, kid, you're going too far now. You're just 5, you can't be on Middle school, let alone High school!" Dash commented.

"...if you even let me get to the more important part, you'll understand what I mean." Phil replied.

Phil was now at Riddle High School. And, even though he made it that far, he is not amused by being on High school. This means he's plotting a third escape.

'Mr. Soggy doesn't let anyone out of the classroom or out of his sight. That means I'll have to distract him.' Phil thought. He then noticed something on the vents. 'There's a rubber band back in the air vent. I would get it, but my fingers couldn't reach.' he thought. Suddently, an idea popped in his mind. He picked the ruler in his table, and the chewing gum attached to the globe, combined the two together, and used the gum-covered tip of the ruler to catch the rubber band. He walked back to his chair, and used the rubber band like one would use a slingshot. He fired it at Mr. Soggy's forehead, knocking him slightly backwards and making him drop his glasses.

"I'm blind! I can't see!" the teacher stated. Phil used this to his advantage. He picked his glasses to ensure that he would not collect them, and left the classroom.

"That wasn't a very sharp idea. Actually, it was kind of blurry." Phil commented. He then decided to check in the library to find if he could have something of use.

"Shhhhh!" Mr. Read said after Phil slammed the door behind him.

'lol' Phil thought as he saw the 'SHUT UP' sign on Mr. Read's table. "How are you, Mr. Read?" Phil asked.

"I'm feeling kind of depressed." the librarian answered. "I'm a librarian, and I can't even read. Well, I can read, but only big-print books." he continued. "You see, my eyesight is like a stuffed monkey doll...It's fuzzy." he added. Knowing exactly Mr. Read's problem. Phil gave him Mr. Soggy's glasses.

"Sweeet." the librarian commented as he wore the glasses. "Here's a free bookmark!" he thanked as he gave Phil a dark blue bookmark. Phil then noticed a noticeably different book. He pulled it out of the bookshelf.

'POEM BOOK by Pinkee'

Page 1:
PENNY POEM
Find five pennies,
Find them all!
Every penny's
in the hall!

Page 2:
RS3 SECRET
Don't beat this game
two times straight
or else you'll meet
a certain fate.

Page 3:
KEY
Deep in the jungle.
You will find a key
Guarded by creatures
That watch on the trees.

Phil stored back the book on it's place, and left the library. What's odd is that, just like the first poem, there was a penny near a locker. Without hesitating, Phil took the penny.

'I wonder if there are really five pennies in the halls.' Phil wondered. He headed west, and he found yet another penny. After grabbing it, he headed west again, finding another penny. Grabbing it, he looked west again. Finding there was nothing, he headed upstairs. Unfortunaly, like the two previous times, Chubb was resting on front of the office yet again.

"Pudding...I need pudding..." Chubb mumbled. Phil noticed that he had to purchase a pot of pudding, which costed $1,00. He headed west to look another penny. After grabbing the only penny in the room, he headed east twice, he noticed punching and kicking noises comming from a special red locker.

"SOMEBODY GET ME OUT OF MY LOCKER!!!" a faint voice yelled. Phil approached it. Noticing someone had approached the locker, the guy who was inside continued. "THIS IS RICHY!! HELP ME OUT!!" Richy yelled.

"What's the combination?" Phil asked.

"...I never can remember." Richy replied. "I HAVE IT WRITTEN DOWN! IT'S IN MRS. ODDVERB'S ROOM! TELL HER I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" he continued. Phil headed east to Mrs. Oddverb's room, grabbing the 5th and last penny in the way. Noticing that the lights from the classroom were out, Phil realized Mrs. Oddverb was most likely in the teacher's lounge. He headed back to said location, and Ms. Count asked him a question.

"Where'd YOU come from?" she asked.

"Mrs. Oddverb, about Richy...?" Phil replied.

"What about Richy?" Oddverb asked.

"He's stuck in his locker. His combination is in your class." he answered.

"Again? Do you think I should go to my classroom and look for his combination now?" she asked again.

"No." he answered.

"Huh?"

"Yes." Phil answered again. With that, Mrs. Oddverb got out of the couch she was sitting in, and left the teacher's lounge.

"I should probably leave, too." Miss Cound commented as she also left the lounge. Just for curiosity, Phil decided to check what was in the drawers. There was nothing on the first one, though the second one had a nickel stored on it. Phil collected it, now having 10¢. With that, he left the lounge, and then headed in the supply closet. He then noticed a dime on the top of the shelf.

'That dime is about a foot and a half from my reach.' Phil thought. An idea then popped in his mind. He decided to stick the bookmark Mr. Read gave him on the chewing gum attached to his ruler. The result was a ruler and a bookmark glued together with gum. Pratically useless, if you might think, but it did help Phil get the dime by knocking it upwards with the bookmark end of his 'weapon', and it ended right on Phil's palm.

'Head. I must really be lucky.' he thought. He then left the storage room and headed to Mrs. Oddverb's room to get Richy's combination.

"I found the combination to Richy's locker." Phil said to himself. "Why the goat does it say 'BLOBBLES'?" he asked again to himself. He walked out of Oddverb's classroom (still confused) and headed to Richy's locker. He pulled out the paper again. He inspected it for about 25 seconds, at which point he tried setting the paper upside down. 'Hang on...' he thought. 'Upside down, "BLOBBLES" reads as "53788078". Maybe that's the password.' he continued. He tried inserting the code to the locker. As you expected, it worked, and Richy stepped out of his locker.

"PHIL EGGTREE!" he yelled. Phil handed him the combination. "Ah, the combination. Thanks!" he thanked as he gave Phil a coin. "By the way, I'm collecting buttons." he added. Phil then remembered Mrs. Flask was making a button-making machine. He decided to check if it was alterady done.

"Is your button-making machine almost complete, Mrs. Flask?" Phil asked.

"Well..." she started. "I feel silly to admit it, but I can't turn it on. It needs a switch, or a button, to even work." she answered. "So, I need a button to make a button." she added. "It doesn't needs to be big. All I need is something slightly larger than a pistachio nut." she described. Phil recalled seeing a keyboard key buried under the monkey doll pile in Miss Count's classroom. He headed in there to catch the keyboard.

"I hate monkeys." Miss Count stated when Phil entered the room. Phil grabbed the 'A' key under the monkey doll pile, and returned back to the machine. He inserted the key in one of the two button/switch slots of the machine, and pressed it.

At first, the machine started to shake and jump like crazy, before doing something similar to exploding. Then, a 'Science Rocks' button popped out of the left.

"It's a start." Mrs. Flask commented. Phil grabbed the button, and headed to Mrs. Oddverb's room again, where Richy was on. He handed the button to the ex-hall guard.

"Heh, nice." Richy commented as he grabbed the button and sticked it on his chest. "Here's my last quarter. Keep it." he thanked as he handed Phil his coin. Phil then remembered that he had stored a nickel on his locker (which was incidentally right next to Mrs. Oddverb's classroom). He gathered the coin, now having a total of 75¢. He only needed a quarter to get enough to buy Chubb's precious pudding, An odd idea popped in his mind; to see if there was a quarter in the janitor's closet. Of course, Phil knew there would be no such thing, but just to be sure, he decided to check to be sure. Needless to say there was indeed a quarter. But the janitor's question snapped Phil back into reality.

"What do you want?" he asked. Phil had to elaborate an excuse to get the janitor out of his closet, so he could grab the quarter.

"The hallway's a mess." Phil answered.

"Yeah, well, I gave up trying to clean the hallways." the janitor answered. "How can you get the hallways clean if germ-covered students crowd them multiple times a day? If I actually tried cleaning all the halls, I'd never get done....so, I never plan to." he added.

"The bathroom sink is stuck." Phil said.

"Nope. Not possible. Of all people, I would know if a sink was overflowing. I can hear a plumbing problem from a mile away." the janitor countered.

"Bread crumbs and beaver spit." Phil said again.

"Sorry, but I don't have any bread crumbs and beaver spit with me." the janitor replied.

"I think I'll leave now..." Phil responded as he left the closet. 'If he really can hear a plumbing problem from a mile away,I'll have to clog a toilet.' he thought. He headed in to men's bathroom, placed the toilet paper in the toilet, and pressed the flusher. Phil watched as the toilet started to overflow. To his surprise, the janitor slammed the door of the bathroom open.

"DO I HEAR A TOILET CLOG?!" he yelled as he walked to the stall. Phil watched as the jantor was stalling for about 25 seconds. 'Seriously, though. Does it take this long to remove toilet paper from a toilet?' Phil asked to himself. He just shrugged it off, and walked to the closet to gather the quarter. Finally, Phil had 100¢, which is the same as $1,00. He then walked to the lunch room, where Greg was sleeping, and Mrs. Munch was cleaning a plate.

"What can I get for you?" Mrs, Munch asked.

"I'd like chocolate pudding." Phil answered. Mrs. Munch inspected the coins for a second, before pushing them to the drawer, and pulling out a pot of chocolate pudding, which Phil grabbed. He then walked to the office door, where Chubb was still awaiting his servant Phil to hand him his precious pudding. Phil placed the pot next to the stairs, which caused Chubb to widen his eyes. He then opened his mouth wide, and started rolling towards the pot. Chubb ate it (along the pot) in one bite, but he ended rolling fowards more than he desired, about to turn Phil into a pancake. The latter ran for his life to avoid the yellow destruction ball of death. However, Phil tripped, and ended up rolling along Chubb, who crashed on the auditorium door.

'Who knew Chubb would make such a great wrecking ball?' Phil thought as he looked to the damage Chubb caused. He then headed out of the auditorium and into the office.

"Hello, This is Mrs. Mooses. How can I help you?" the secretary asked.

"I was sent here to see Mr. Potato." Phil answered.

"Why would you be sent to the counselor?" Mrs. Mooses asked.

"I'm awesome." Phil answered rather bluntly.

"I fail to see the logic of that, but go right on if." Mooses replied.

Phil opened the door slightly to spy on what Mr. Potato was doing. His eyes widened when he noticed that the former counselor of Riddle High School was playing Super Mario World. Phil shrugged, and simply grabbed the key. Phil shot one last glance at the video game-addicted counselor, and walked right out of his room. Phil then calmly walked towards the school's main doors, and unlocked them with the golden key. Phil proceeded to walk to his own car, an orange Volkswagen New Beetle. With joy, he grabbed his car's key, turned it on, and drove back home.

"Again, Phil? I mean, sure, you helped Mr. Read, Mrs. Flask, Richy and Chubb, but that still doesn't classifies you as a 'world hero'." Twilight commented.

"Mister human! We fail to see the logic of your stories." Luna added.

"I'm getting to the part that everything makes sense. Just hang on." Phil replied.

"I'm not feeling inferior, I'm telling the truth. Could you kindly stop interrupting me now?" Phil asked.

Riddle School 4

The Riddle University. Phil had only joined it because he had nothing important to do on his life. And the classroom with the largest ammount of students he had ever. 5, Greg, Zack, Smiley, Phil himself and someone called Diz were the students. There were only two things that Phil was suspecting of. One that Phred was not in the classroom, and Two that Mr. Munch was the teacher. Mr. Munch wasn't the type of studying, so why he was teaching? However, Phil was tired of just standing there with an idling teacher. He was determined to escape school for a fourth time. Unfortunaly, just as Phil was about to do the first move, Mr. Munch pressed a button in a remote he was hiding between his arms. They set on tiny explosives placed around Phil's chair, detonating the slim floor and revealing a very long pit.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Phil yelled as he fell. It was a loong way down that cave. However, the temperature started to heat up, and a red light started to appear around. That was actually lava nearing in. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

*SPLOSH*

"Okay....so, you died on a lava pit." Dash asked.

"Yes. Bu-" Phil answered, but was interrupted.

"If you died, then how ya ARE here, partner?" Applejack asked.

"He's likely lieing." Silver pointed out.

"I never expected such a nice creature to actually lie." Rarity stated.

"Please stop talking!" Phil ~~ordered~~ requested. All ponies turned to him. "I said I was getting to that part, but I didn't said I GOT to that part. Now I am on that part, but you are interrupting me everytime I try to explain, therefore, you cannot see the truth!" he commented.

"Fine. We are giving you one last chance." Celestia replied.

"Very well. Okay, after that happened..."

Flashback - Riddle School 5

*Bzzz-Bzzzzz....*

"Well, everyone, it seems soon our dreams will become reality......just as all of our prisoners' realities have become dreams."

"We all know our prisoners were taken from Riddle Elementary School."

"Enlighten our listeners as to the reason we're here, already."

"I was getting to that part, Viz."

"This meeting is primarily to discuss these humans and their new dreams. Their behavior, after all, is why and how we are going through with our plan."

"Yes, because evildoers deserve nothing more than the taste of their own evil!"

"This is Phred."

"We can read the caption next to the corner, Diz."

"I'm enlightening everyone, just like you said. Phred, in his dreams, does as close to nothing as he can manage. Of the prisoners we have, he seems to be the least useful right now."

"Smiley smiles constantly within her dreams. We've tried to find intended flaw in her ways, not yet to any avail."

"If one human is proven to be scum, the rest are no cleaner. Her face is just a cover for her ugly desires."

"Zack here was shivering long before he was abducted from that school. It seems impossible that he would be so ongoingly chilly. There is a chance that by looking on his unusual condition..."

"...we could power a weapon capable of freezing that pathetic planet Earth."

"Hm, I could have sworn I was the one telling the presentation."

"And here we have the reason for our master plan. Had we not witnessed firsthand Phil escaping from his own school......Earth would not have become our first target of destruction. We can get into his brain, but what matters most is what we try to get out of it."

"Knowing the enemy is the best way to defeat them."

"Uh, Diz? I can't remember what the plan is, exactly."

"Quiz, you're completely useless."

"Well, I can clarify."

"With the knowledge we recieve from these three dream captives.....it's planned we completely freeze their homeworld, planet Earth. This procedure is to be repeated to other wrongdoing planets."

"I have one more question..."

"Go ahead, Quiz."

"When you were talking just a minute ago...you said 'from the knowledge we recieve from these THREE dream captives'...didn't you mean to say FOUR?"

"..."

"Of course. Just a slip of the tongue."

"Hey, why isn't the transmitter turned off? What if one of our subjects hears?"

"Sorry. Didn't even know it was on. It'll be turned off in a seco--" *SNAP*

That odd chat log was something Phil saw after he fell in that lava pit. After that, a short flashback scenes of his life in the Riddle Schools popped in his mind. After that, Phil slowly opened his eyes, finding himself to be in an odd white room.

'I don't think I can open that door. It's barred and has no doorknob. That probably means it's remote-activated from the other side.' Phil thought as he examined the door in the white room. Phil looked under his bed to look for something of use, and found a coin. An alien coin, to be exact.

'I'd mistake this for a quarter if it wasn't for the monster picture in it.' he commented as he grabbed the key. After looking a bit on his room, Phil noticed the only way out was through the vent. He examined the vent cover. There were three screws, with one missing. 'I think It's common sense, but I need something to unscrew these.' Phil thought. He looked at the alien coin, and found it was the perfect makeshift item to unscrew the screws. He unscrewed and collected them, and moved the vent cover to the side to allow him to craw through the vents.

'I've decided I don't want to do that again.' he thought as he climbed out of the vent hole. He found himself to be in some sort of a spaceship. He headed east, and then north, leading to a room with escape pods, confirming the fact that he was in a spaceship.

'It's awfully tempting to fly right out of this place......but I think my friends would like me more if I saved all of them first.' Phil thought as he looked at the escape pods. He decided to leave the room before the urge would overtake him. He then looked at the monster guarding a path.

'It looks kinda cute, actually.' he thought. 'I don't want to take my chances sneaking by the room behind it though.' he continued. He then decided to head on a path he had previously seen.

He looked at a door labeled 'SUBJECT #1831', and a smile face was drawn on the glass. Phil betted it was the room Smiley was in. And he was actually right. He attempted to wake her up by shaking her, since it didn't seemed she would wake by any noise. Unfortunaly, touching the semi-invisible barrier around her eletrocuted Phil.

'I really hope there's a better way to wake up my friends,' he thought. Figuring there was nothing much in Smiley's room, he left and headed west, finding a quite odd door labeled as 'Flower Room', which was obviously a room with flowers. Phil tried grabbing one, but it instantly died, while another one rapidly grew on the place of the old one.

'Apparently my green thumb leaves something to be desired.' he thought as he dropped the dead flower. He then decided to take a potted dirtflower that was placed nearby. 'This plant's not immediatly dieing, so I'll take it.' he continued. He then decided to take a nearby tray with him. With that, he left the flower room. He headed west once again, finding a door labeled 'SUBJECT #7272', which was actually Phred's room. Phil noticed there was a dropped key card on the floor, which he took.

'I think I'll swipe this card so I can swipe the card in card key scanners.' he thought as he picked the card. He then left the room to head in the other room he had noticed.

The first door Phil saw was labeled as 'A Room that has a pit of acid'. Entering that room, he found an unreachable steak held above an acid pool by a bait-like thing. Phil noticed a mirror held in a corner of the room.

'I can faintly see a hidden door at the end of the metal thing's throat. If I'm correct, it should be on Smiley's room.' he thought. He instantly headed back to Smiley's cell, and indeed, there was a hidden white door. Phil awkwardly took the steak from the bait, and retreated. He headed back to the hall he was in, finding a room labeled as 'Life-transferring station'. He decided to check this machine. It was a very awkward one indeed, with a blank screen on the middle. 'It's a blank screen because it's not even turned on.' Phil mentally explained. Since there was little need to that machine as of now, he simply headed out of the room. He headed east, and found the last room, labeled as 'SUBJECT #6553'. He betted it was Zack's room, as he was the only remaining. And Phil was shocked Zack was still shivering even though he's sleeping. Along him in the room were two notes. They respectively readed:

Remember to
feed Osurald
(the monster)
- he only
eats live
meat!

~Nit Wit

Oh, I almost
forgot! He doesn't
eat what he can't
smell. So find
food w/ an aroma
and put it where smell can easily
spread.

~Nit Wit

'Well, it seems I will need that machine, after all.' Phil thought. He was about to leave, before deciding to check what was under Zack's bed. It was another screw. It probably sounds non-interesting, though Phil recalls seeing four screw slots on the machine, not three. He headed back to the station, placed the plant and the steak in where the balloons pointed out, and filled the slots with screws, and was about to press the green arrow, but he remembered he wasn't even sure about what would happen. Finally, he noticed a paper explaining how to use the machine.

LIFE TRANSFER MACHINE
INSTRUCTIONS
_____________________

To properly transfer life from a living thing to a dead animal, it's
as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Put a living thing where the round arrow sign indicates

2. Put a dead animal where the other big arrow sign indicates

3. Press the arrow in the middle of the machine.

(Also, know that the living thing dies
when the dead animal comes to life.)

Phil then pressed the green button and hoped it would work; unfortunaly, it didn't.

'That was simply a fail.' he commented. 'I think there's a reason the meat didn't survive with the plant's life.' he continued. While he was looking at the meat, the pot grew another dirtflower over the dead one. He then noticed that the plant required being on dirt, and the steak wasn't on dirt. He remembered the tray he got before. He could cover it in dirt, and put the steak on top of it. He headed back to the flower room, gathered some of the dirt with the tray, headed back to the life transferring station, placed the steak on the tray, pressed the arrow, and hoped it would work this time. His theory was proven correct as the steak grew two brown rear legs and two green frontal legs.

'It's, uh, adorable.' Phil commented with a lowered eyebrow. Like before, a new dirtflower grew in place place of the old one. He took the live steak in tray with him and returned to the room in front of his cell. He swapped the key card in the door, entered his cell, and was about to place the steak in the vent hole, but he stopped.

'I see a hole in my currently-developing plan already.' Phil thought. 'Once I put the steak down, where am I supposed to hide? I suspect the monster would love to find TWO live meat items on the menu...' he continued. He then suspected that the statues outside would help him with that. However, nothing happened when Phil pressed the button. He noticed an odd tile device, and proceeded to transform it into the requested numbers (4, 7, 0 and 1).

As soon as he had finished making the last numbers, the whole tile device turned gray, and the statue seemed to turn 'active'. Phil pressed the button, and...

"Woah. Out of sight, out of mind." he commented as he became invisible. Phil pressed the button again, turning himself back visible. He placed the steak in the vent hole, pressed the button, waited for the monster to enter his cell, pressed the button again, and swapped the key card back.

"I'm afraid DINNER TO GO is not an option for you anymore." Phil commented as he closed the door. Finally, the room was available at last. Phil proceeded to enter it.

Phil was now at a large walkway with lines everywhere. The only thing he could make it was a sign. 'I could be wrong, but this looks important.' he thought. '"Enter the children's dreams in the chair in the next room.". "Their dreams will only end when, in them, they meet doom.". Something's clicking in my head.' he continued.

'My friends are physically protected by barriers. Because of this, I can't directly wake them up.' he thought. 'However......My dream that went on into college stopped when I was killed. "Their dreams will only end when, in them, they meet doom.". Which means...' he started placing the pieces together. '...in order for me to save my friends...' he continued. He then lowered an eyebrow. 'I'll have to KILL them from within their dreams.' he thought again. He then headed to the next room. He proceeded to type in Zack's subject code, which was 6553. The chair proceeded to make a barrier field around it, making Phil start to gradually get tired, at the point that he fell asleep.

Riddle School 2
Zack's Dream

Phil found himself to be back in Mr. O. Boe's musical class. He took a look around, and raised one of his lower eyelids. 'I really didn't like middle school that much.' he thought. 'I'd like to kill Zack fast so I don't have to repeat the seventh grade.' he continued. He then looked at his musical stand and lowered an eyebrow. 'That sounded more morbid than it was supposed to.' he added.

"Hey Phred, can you help me escape school again?" Phil asked.

"I have a whistle, as if that'd be useful." Phred answered.

"It might help. Can I have it?" he asked again.

"Only if you have a dollar." his friend answered again. Phil proceeded to collect the four quarters spreaded around in the same location: One at Phil's musical stand, one next to Phred's feet, one next to Zack, his victim, and the last one in a drumset. Phil collected all of them and handed them to Phred.

"Here's my whistle for that dollar you've got there. I don't actually use it anyway." Phred said as he handed Phil his whistle.

"...Déjà vu." Phil quietly commented. He then whistled the whistle just like he did in the previous time, causing Phred, Smiley and Mr. O. Boe to fall to the ground, and for Zack to completely freeze. "Here's your whistle back, Phred. I don't feel like stealing music from you at the moment." Phil said as he gave Phred (obviously still unconsious) his whistle back.

Phil then slowly walked at the frozen Zack, looked around to see if anyone else was watching, then 'cluelessy' pushed Zack fowards, breaking him into a gazillion pieces, therefore, killing him.

"Hang on, you KILLED him?" Fluttershy yelled.

"That pretty much makes you a murderer. You murderer!" Pinkie added.

"Don't you understand? I have to kill them to save them from their eternal sleep." Phil explained.

"Oh....but still, it's wrong to kill others. Why didn't you just explained to them that they were asleep?" Fluttershy replied.

"You'll see why when I come to Phred's dream. Anyway..."

Phil woke up from the chair, and proceeded to head to Zack's room.

"Ah, Zack. You're awake!" Phil stated.

"...I th-thought I died......b-because, suddently......I felt c-cold..." Zack replied.

"I thought you were alyways cold, Zack." Phil responded.

"...I m-mean, like, REALLY c-cold..." Zack explained.

"Well, that doesn't matter now. we're in a space station." Phil dismissed. "I can't explain everything but there are escape pods downstairs." he added.

"...Oh, r-really? I g-guess I'll get going." Zack replied. With that, he flew his escape pod back to Earth. Phil headed back to the dream chair, and typed in '1831', Smiley's subject number. Like before, Phil fell asleep on the chair.

Riddle School 3
Smiley's Dream

'Ah, the familiar Mr. Soggy's class from my dream.' Phil thought. 'If possible, I'm gonna kill Smiley quickly and painlessy.' he continued. 'That sounds bad. But it's for a good cause.' he added.

Phil did the same procedure he did on his own dream; pick ruler, pick gum, stick ruler with gum in vent, catch rubber band, and toss rubber band at Mr. Soggy.

"I'm blind! I can't see!" Mr. Soggy called out. Though, this time, Phil didn't catched his glasses. Instead, he warned Smiley.

"Oh, no. Soggy's glasses fell onto the floor. It sure is bad he can't teach without them on." Phil told Smiley. Smiley's smile faded as she left her chair and headed on to get Soggy's glasses. However, as soon as she was going to catch them, Phil pushed her feet behind, causing her to fall face-first into the globe, almost swallowing the whole thing.

"You killed somebody again?" Twilight asked.

"You seem something way worse than a spy to me." Dash added.

"And why you again didn't warned her that she was sleeping?" Fluttershy asked with a slightly harder tone.

"First: I didn't exactly 'killed' them. Second: I'm not a crazed murderer. Third: That was Smiley, not Phred. Phred is the next one." Phil replied.

"Smiley, do you have any idea where we are?" Phil asked as he arrived in Smiley's room.

"All I can say is, I think I just woke up from a really long dream." Smiley answered, this time without her trademark smile,

"Sort of. We're subjects of mind-altering, from what I've gathered." Phil replied. "Oh yeah, and we're also not on Earth anymore, but that can be fixed. There are escape pods on the bottom floor of this facility." he added.

"Well, that's be something to smile about." Smiley replied as she smiled again. "I guess I'll see you on Earth!" she continued. With that, Smiley flew away with another escape pod. Phil then headed back to the dream chair to free the last prisoner.

Riddle School 4
Phred's Dream

"I remember this room." the now age-18 Phil commented as he arrived in his previous university classroom. "Nobody's here. I think class just hasn't started." he continued. 'Wait a minute.' he thought. 'Phred never had a seat in this classroom...So how is this his dream?' he added as he had a short flashback of his scene in his own university room.

"Hey, Phil?" a voice said. Said voice turned out to be Phred as he walked next to Phil. "Is this Mr. McMaster's room?" Phred asked. Phil blinked.

'Uh,,,' Phil thought. "....yyyes...Yes, you're in the right place." he lied. Phred then gave him a thumbs-up.

"Cool, I just wanted to make sure I didn't get killed or something." he answered as he walked and (convieniently) sat in the chair Phil previously sat.

"Hey, Phred." Phil said.

"What's up?" Phred replied.

"How have you been?" he asked.

"Not bad, not great, so I guess I've been all right. My favorite thing to do right now is nothing." he answered. "I've discovered that's hard to do when people act like morons." he added.

"You are so right." Phil replied. "Have you ever seen a drooling platypus?" he asked again.

"I can't say I have. I saw a galloping seahorse the other day, however." Phred responded.

"Drooling platypi beat galloping seahorses any day of the week." Phil countered.

"Well, in that case, I hope your drooling platypus chokes on its own spit." Phred replied.

"D:"

"Anyway, what are your plans for your future career?" Phil asked.

"I'm thinking of trying to get jobs that require no talent at all." Phred answered. "You know, music conductor, substitute teacher, abstract artist, stuff like that." he specified.

'LOL' Phil thought. "Oh, by the way," he said. "You have to die so you can escape your dream." he stated.

"Uh-huh, I bet. Please explain what you mean." Phred asked with a not-impressed look.

"Your life is a dream made by an alien organization." Phil explained.

"The chances of that are lower than the chance of Riddle School 5 comming out." Phred replied.

"Yeah, you see...Never mind." Phil responded. "I'll stop talking now."

Phil decided to check around Mr. Munch's desk to see if he could trick the 'teacher' into believing Phred was actually Phil. Indeed, he had found a paper:

DESCRIPTION OF PHIL
EGGTREE GIVEN 2 ME:

* Bald
* Looks like this: (l l)
* Alyways wears green

He needs 2 sit in the desk closest
2 the door so I can
KILL HIM.

Phil placed the paper back on it's original spot, and then looked at Phred. Actually, Phred did met all requirements. He was bald, and his face was almost the same as Phil's. The only requirement he didn't met was that Phred was wearing red.

"Oh, Phred." Phil called.

"What?"

"Would you like to wear my sweatshirt?" he asked.

"Your sweatshirt IS quite nice, but I actually think it's sorta hot in here." Phred countered.

"Hey, it could just be you. That, or there's a pit of lava below the classroom." Phil stated.

"Eh, sounds pretty good either way." Phred replied.

Phil looked around the classroom to see if he could find something of use before class started. He then noticed that (convieniently) there was a thermostat in the wall, and it was set to 'warm'. Phil switched it to 'cold'.

'The room is now relatively cold.' he thought.

"Hey, Phil." Phred called.

"Yes?" Phil asked.

"I guess it IS a little cold in here, and your sweatshirt DOES look comfy." he said. "Alright, hand it over. I'll put it on before class starts.". With that, Phil handed Phred his green sweatshirt.

A FEW MINUTES LATER...

Class was rather silent for a few minutes. The only noises were from Greg's snoring, Zack's shivering, and Smiley's writing. The silence was broken as Mr. Munch pressed his hidden button.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Phred yelled. He was falling at high speed down a cave. It was rather dark. However, it started to get redder and redder. And that red hue was lava.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

*SPLOSH*

Phil (now back at age-5) got out of the dream chair, and headed back to Phred's cell.

"Hey, Phred." Phil said.

"Uh, hi?" Phred replied rather confused. "I don't know WHAT'S going on. Do you?"

"I know some things about altered dreams, but let's skip that part. We are in some facility in space that's close to Earth. Conveniently for us, there are escape pods on the bottom of this place." he explained.

"I knew it. You alyways figure everything out before anyone else does." he replied. "Well, thanks for the info. It'll be great to be somewhere familiar." he added. With that, Phred flew out of the facility in his pod.

'Well, only me left.' Phil thought. He headed to the escape pod room, entered the last pod, and flew back to his homeplanet...

...only to be abducted by another ship.

Arriving there, he noticed that both Phred and Smiley had been jailed, and Zack was frozen in an ice cube being charged by something.

"This is a bit unnerving." Phil commented.

"Marvelous, isn't it?" a voice called out. From the lava pit in the middle of the ship, a humanoid, four-armed red creature wearing sunglasses and a dull blue shirt slowly hovered upwards. "I am Viz. Decider of your world's fate." the creature identified himself. Phil raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, nice to meet you." he awkwardly responded. "What is exactly going on here?" he asked. Viz's smirk faded as he turned to his right.

"Why don't you ask that cowardly traitor over there?" Viz suggested. Phil looked to his left, and found another humanoid creature wearing a similar dull blue shirt (but with green skin and no sunglasses) standing there. However, while Phil was looking at the other creature, Viz snuckt up, and caught Phil's key card with eletromagnetism comming from his hand. "I'll be taking this, thanks." Viz commented as he ran (or something like that) to the door in the back of the room, used the key card, and walked off as the door closed.

"So, cowardly traitor, what exactly is going on here?" Phil asked to the green creature.

"I am a traitor, but not to you." it answered. "My name is Diz." he presented himself. Phil once again lowered an eyebrow, but this time just slightly.

"Diz. I recognize that name. And Viz, too." Phil commented. "Weren't you in that meeting in the transmission before I woke up from my dream? You said you were planning to... freeze planet Earth?" he asked.

"None of this will make sense unless I start from the very beginning." Diz replied. "It began...with Vizion."

"Vizion was a project started by our leader, Viz, the one you just saw. He felt it was his duty to decide the fate of every planet in the universe. His planet-by-planet journey began with your planet, Earth."

"Nobody was in agreement to his plan, of course, but we are under his rule. He gave his minions one chance to prove Earth wasn't worth erasing."

"We built a local time-stopping mine and set it outside of an Earth school. As it would turn out, the school was Riddle Elementary School, where you were. Our hope was that nobody would escape the school..."

"Unfortunaly, that was the very same day you left the school early. Time throughout Earth stopped, and Viz was convinced Earth had evil intent. He ordered us to abduct you and your friends before restoring Earth's time."

"Viz had a plan to use your evils and powers agaisnt you to destroy Earth. We had to look into your minds, hence the idea of giving you altered dreams. We even changed your clothes a few times to see if that affected your thoughts."

"So it was Viz all along with these plans..." Phil replied. "Where does you being a traitor come to the equation?" he asked.

"Death was the only thing that could seperate you from your dream. Alterations to dreams can be easily detected by just anyone...So I could only wake you up if I killed you in your dream. After all, death is the only thing that could wake any of you up."

"I did not go unseen, however. It was only a matter of time before I was found out."

"I went the full mile and altered the mind of Mr. Munch, your last dream teacher. I sat behind you and watched the execution to be sure everything went well."

"That is why you didn't see me when you went to the same room in Phred's dream. By that time, I was where I am standing now."

"The transmitter message you heard was a recording from another time. I transmitted it to you again when I knew you were about to wake up. I did it so that you would know Viz's plans for your world. And now, he's taking Zack's freezing genes to power up a giant laser. Not long from now, it will have charged enough to freeze Earth." Diz ranted. "...I have only been trying to help you, so you could save your friends." he continued as he looked down.

"Good job." Phil congratulated. Their chat was interrupted as the laser's tip started glowing a large white ball. "Is that the laser charging?" Phil asked.

"If nothing is done, your world will be solid ice." Diz answered.

"Not cool." Phil replied. Viz then entered back to the room.

"Sorry, Diz. The window view is reserved for the children." Viz said. He then tossed Diz out of the room and used his eletromagnetism to swap the key card in the door, then brought it back to his hand. "I'm so sorry I ran out of cages to trap you and your friends in." Viz 'apologized'. "You'll still enjoy the show, won't you?" the red alien asked. Phil blinked.

"Somehow I really doubt that." he answered. Viz then dropped the key card in the lava pit.

"I'm sure it will be an unforgetable spetacle......which is why I plan to watch it on my own ship without distractions." Viz replied. He then raised his upper hands. "Prepare yourself......for the Grand Finale." he continued. Viz then proceeded to sink in the lava.

As soon as he completely disappeared, Phil then headed in to a code desk. He pressed the red numbers so they copied the upper black numbers. A key popped out. Phil grabbed it, and headed to a sink. He used his alien coin to unscrew the screws holding the faucet together. Phil then picked the now-loose faucet, and grabbed a 'Tooth-Ultra-Paste' can. He then headed to the yellow-green tile device.

'I've done this before, it should be like the previous one.' he thought. However, when he pressed a yellow tile, it formed a X instead of an O. 'Right...this changes gameplay.' Phil thought again.

After copying the exact numbers (which were 4, 7, 0 and 1 again, by the way), the duck statues grew 'active' like the previous one. Phil pressed them, wondering how being invisible would help, and to his surprise, he instead switched gravity. This meant he was standing on the roof. He proceeded to copy the circle pattern in a light screen. When he pressed the button that resembled a 'play' button, a mug flew out of a pipe.

'That was a mug shot if I ever saw one.' Phil thought. He then pressed a button on the end of the roof, and glued the can together with the 'Tooth-Ultra-Paste'. He then examined a wood plank on the top of the roof. 'Mmm...that plank seems mightier than the faucet alone, but, if I drop lava in it...' he thought. He then combined the faucet with the mug, and collected some of the flowing lava.

"Hot lava java, coming right up." he said. 'It's amazing this mug I watched break can hold lava without melting.' he thought. Phil then pressed the button yet again, and dropped the lava in the wooden plank, completely melting it and revealing a bridge supposed to cover the lava pit. Phil inserted the key on the keylock, and his theory was proven correct as a metallic bridge covered the lava pit. Phil pressed the button to return back to the floor, and steered the ship away from Earth, aiming it at Viz's ship instead.

"Soon, this planet will be covered in a coat of ice." Viz said. '...Yes...' he thought. "Because evildoers deserve a taste of their own evil!" he continued.

The laser started to charge more and more, at the point which it fired right into Viz's ship, covering it in a coat of ice and flying slowly away from Earth....

...before being smacked into a meteor, killing Viz.

Diz then arrived back at the control room, holding a remote control

"Amazing! You saved Earth AND disposed of our wretched leader simultaneously!" Diz congratulated. He then pointed to his remote. "I managed to escape with this remote I found that used to be Viz's." he explained. "Maybe I can use this remote to free your friends." he offered. Phil then started to consider the idea.

"After all that happened today, that's not a bad assumption." Phil commented. "Well, give it a go. It's worth a shot." he continued. Diz then pointed the remote at the three, and pressed the button, causing Smiley to jump out, Phred to wake from...whatever he was doing, and for Zack to fall into the floor. The three then regrouped next to Diz and Phil.

"I'm pretty sure I know how to drive the ship we're in." Diz said. "You'll all be back to your homes before you know it." he continued.

"...I'm not cold anymore......This feels amazing!" Zack commented. However, as soon as he said this, part of his head proceeded to combust into flames.

"I may have learned something from this experience." Smiley said. "Friends really can come from anywhere......even space!" she continued.

"All my life, I've been devoted to doing as little as possible." Phred said. "Witnessing everything Phil has done helped me realize...Even a world as big as ours can be affected by what one person does." he continued.

"I guess I should say I learned a lot from this experience." Phil commented. "But really, only one lesson I learned today really stands out to me." he continued. As Diz proceeded to drive the ship back to Earth, Phil mentally said which lesson he learned.

STAY IN SCHOOL.

"Oh, now everything makes sense!" Twilight commented.

"That was nice! I want another!" Pinkie added as she was sitting in a movie chair eating popcorn she pulled out of thin air.

"What...but...how she got that movie chair?!" Phil asked.

"It's better not even explain." Rarity answered.

"So, you really are a world hero, right?" Dash asked.

"Don't tell me that you forced the poor author spend THREE days writing a 10,000+ chapter while having little time JUST for you to not believe me." Phil replied breaking the fourth wall. (No, really, it's true. I spent 3 days writing this chapter.)

"What?" Everypony (minus Pinkie) asked.

"Hey, only I can break the fourth wall!" Pinkie protested.

"Whoops, sorry." Phil apologized.

"Well, I can see he's not liein'. Obviously, that's the truth." Applejack commented.

"Oh, wow! Then we have a hero in Equestria!" Lyra replied.

"And that's not even the full thing. Something else happened after we headed back to Earth." Phil continued.

"This means MORE POPCORN!" Pinkie yelled as she pulled out a massive bag of popcorn. She then flipped it downwards, bathing the room with popcorn.

Phil then told the ponies about how him, Phred, Zack, Smiley and Diz had been captured by the Zone 5.1, and how he managed to escape his cell while helping the Goat-man, the Yeddy and Bigtoe to feel more homely there and to help Messie and the Flying Pig to escape back to their proper homes, and how he free'd his friends (both human and alien) from their cells to return to their homes, only to accidentally turn the alarms on, forcing Diz to make a rough escape and leaving the four to escape through the sewers.

The four then made their way through the sewer maze while altering the water levels on a control room. Then they found a simulation room on the end of the sewers where the four found the six unitilized rejected games; Riddle Company, Riddle School 4+1, Riddle Manor, Riddle Mansion, Riddle Eye, and Riddle Attorney, and how they ended meeting with the leader of the facility, Shaw DeLot, standing next to Viz, alive and with two arms missing. DeLot pulled a lever, causing all of the four children (minus Zack) to fall in a hole leading to a fake school denominated 'Prison School'.

Phil then had escaped his 'prison class', and helped his two other friends to escape aswell. As they reached the top of the fake school deep within the caverns below Zone 5.1, reaching a room where Shaw DeLot was acting like a principal. Phil had rang the 'school bell' above the room, causing it to fall on top of him. Phil then grabbed the key, and headed to the final room, a big indoor test area, with lots of puzzles.

After completing the last puzzle, which was to reorganize Shaw DeLot's name to spell 'SLow Death', Phil, Phred and Smiley managed to enter a room similar to the control room in Viz's mothership, with a large machine in the middle being powered by Zack's heat. Viz was using his brain waves to assist in the weapons' charging progress. However, just as Phil was about to knock him off-post, he realized Viz was, in fact, his old friend Diz. He had been brainwashed by Zone 5.1, and made to think he was the original Viz, planning to burn the world with the original plans of Vizion.

DeLot becomes furious and tosses Phil into a large pit of fire similar to the one in Phil and Phred's dreams, though this time it wasn't a dream. Diz, Phred and Smiley watch in horror as Phil is sent to the pit. Fortunaly, Phil managed to stop falling by holding on a small outcropping in the pit, though he couldn't hold for much longer. Phil tries everything to keep his grip, while Diz, Phred and Smiley also do their best to try to get Phil out. The claw then pulls Phil out of the pit, and DeLot attempts to jump to kill Phil with his own two hands, but misses by an inch and falls in the pit.

The agents admit they were glad to be free from DeLot's rule, and thank the five children by preparing Phil, Phred, Zack and Smiley to ride in a particular jet back to their hometown, while they return Diz the Vizion spaceship he had borrowed.

"That's a nice adventure you have there!" Pinkie commented.

"Thank you, I guess." Phil replied as he ate a piece of popcorn. Twilight then used her magic to clean the popcorn.

"Look, as much as that adventure is nice, we have to get you home." she said.

"I know. I'd like to be back home. Well, what can you do?" he asked.

"Well..." Celestia started. "As far as I can see, you come from a galaxy very, very far away from ours. Even my magic cannot reach it." she answered.

"Maybe it's because I came from another dimension, therefore, I'm not even from this universe." he suggested.

"Could be. But that means there's little I can do. The least we could do is to hope that someone from your planet is able to bring you back." she replied.

"But what should we do with him?" Twilight asked.

"For now, it's better to keep him safe in your library and keep him safe at all times. This means no constant testing on him, understood?" Celestia answered.

"Yes, princess." She replied.

"Aww, but that means we won't be able to stay with him anymore." Sweetie commented.

"Could we sometimes stay with 'im?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Well, since you three found him, I guess it's fine." Twilight answered

"Well, sun's setting. I gues' we should get home." Applejack stated. With that, everypony headed back to the train and went back to Ponyville, unsure of how they could bring the world hero back home.

Location: Outer Space

Commander Xaanix was a high-ranked captain in the Grox fleet. Species near and far feared and hated him, even other Grox captains were terrified of him.

He was fighting a rival spaceship from an intruder empire. Upsetting the Grox was the biggest mistake one could make. Unfortunaly, the enemy gained the upper hand, and fired a missile right in the ship's engine, causing it to shut down and to fall to the nearest planet.

Unfortunaly, it was T-3 planet full of life, uninhabitable to any Grox. 'I knew I should of have continued the Grox Infestation Pod system.' Xaanix mumbled to himself as he saw the planet increasing in size as the spaceship fell towards it.

Location: The Hive, Changeling Territory

"Seventy five! Seventy six! Seventy seven! Seventy eight!" was the only thing you could hear in the hive. The changeling admiral barked loudly as the changeling soldiers and drones pushed up and down.

Furious with the continuous defeats from her attacks against Equestria, Chrysalis had ordered the changeling troops to train hard until they became a force so strong Celestia wouldn't be able to even notice the attack comming, sort of like an instant capture.

"Ninety eight! Ninety nine! One hundred! Okay, get up, we're done pushing up for now." he said. "Now, get your battle shoes ready, we will go..." he continued.

"FOREST TREKKING! YAY!" a childish changeling yelled among the crowd of changeling troops.

"Silence, soldier! This is a BOOT CAMP, not an outdoor camping party!" the admiral yelled. "I was originally going to have you all do only 50 laps around the field, but due to your insolence, it's going to be 100 laps now!" he said. The troops mumbled in dismay. "NOW! I don't want to see any of you standing still-" he continued, though got interrupted by a spetacle.

A large fireball had been spotted, falling from the sky and aiming directly at the nearby forest. Afterwards, it collided with the floor alongside a loud BOOM, and later emitting a purple smoke.

"HA! Your pathetic Gadget Bomb missed, Celestia! Her highness is unharmed!" the admiral yelled mockingly at the crash site.

"Um, admiral, Gadget bombs don't exist." a drone told the admiral.

"Oh, right. Still, that thing missed! We're intact! We probably should go over there and make fun of it for missing!" he said. Shortly, he realized his mistake.

"FOREST HIKING!" the childish changeling yelled.

"Ugh, right, forest hiking. C'mon, troop." the admiral said in an uninterested tone.

The soldiers, drones, and even the admiral himself were surprised to see that the thing that crashed wasn't a Gadget Bomb, nor a meteor, instead it was some sort of a contraption that kind of resembled a modern carriage, but with a glass cabin. The grass surrounding the crashed contraption was purple, as was the smoke the 'carriage' was emitting.

"Now what is this thing?" a soldier questioned.

"Whatever is it, it must've been from Equestria." a drone suggested.

Suddently, the glass cabin opened, to the shock of the changelings. Much more purple smoke emitted from the glass cabin, and from there, a figure stepped out. The changelings quickly entered in battle position, preparing for a combat, expecting a handful of pony soldiers to appear and ambush them. But they were shocked to see that the "horde of ponies" was actually a short red bipedal creature with some gray thingies on it's arm, leg, torso and head.

"Wow, I'm shocked I didn't die from this crash. Apparently, my ship caused a corruption area that keeps me alive." Xaanix commented. "Now who are those carbon-based lifesacks huddled around me?" he said, insulting the changelings.

"Carbon-based lifesack?! Whatever this means, I do not like what you just called us!" the admiral replied. Xaanix facemetalpalmed.

"Ugh, I see I am stranded in some planet still in the medieval age with some puny insectoid barbarians who think they're the best while they're actually just brainless idiots." the Grox captain insulted further.

"BRAINLESS IDIOTS?! That was the last straw! I'm going to beat you up!" the admiral yelled as his fuse ran short. He prepared to leap towards the insultful red creature, but it simply reacted by moving his organic finger in a "no" way.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Xaanix said.

"What do you mean?" the changeling admiral replied, only getting angrier.

"You see this purple grass? It's poisonous to any species except Grox. Step in, and you're dead." the Grox captain explained.

The changeling admiral at first thought it was just a trick, but to make sure, he picked a little bunny - which was very cute, but the admiral's lack of a proper heart made him bypass the cuteness - and threw it at the 'corrupted' space. Almost instantly, the bunny gasped for air, and then withered away, leaving the changelings shocked.

"I told you." Xaanix replied.

"Fine, if we can't bring you to her highness to have her judge you, we will bring her highness to you and have her and the whole changeling council judge you right here." the admiral said, leaving Xaanix jaw-dropped.

Xaanix wished he had more time. It took it simply 3 minutes for the changeling carriage to arrive to where Xaanix was in, and before he realized, he was surrounded by changelings.

"This is him, my Queen. This intruder right here insulted and dirtied the Changelings' royal name, calling us 'carbon-based lifesacks', 'puny insectoid barbarians' and even 'brainless idiots'!" the changeling admiral said to what Xaanix believed that was the Changeling queen.

"You realize you provoked powers beyond your comprehension, right, you red piece o' flab? We could execute you right now." Chrysalis stated. Xaanix got really infuriated for being called a red piece of flab, but held the rage.

"You can enslave me, you can torture me, you can even execute me, but you shall never gain any information from King Grochius II, the Grox-Meta Emperor, nor anything about the Grox Empire!" Xaanix replied.

"Done, we will kill you right now." the admiral responded to Xaanix's statement. He was about to pull a rope to push the intruding Grox into the 'safe' territory in order to cause him to wither away, but Chrysalis stopped him.

"I see you have an instinct of a patriot, protecting what belongs to your Empire." she commented.

"It's only natural for a Grox to be royal to it's leader. It was due to our patriorchy that we managed to defeat thousands of rivals that would be otherwise too powerful for us." he replied.

"Did you say defeat rivals?" Chrysalis asked with a slight grin.

"Yes," Xaanix replied, realizing they were getting somewhere.

"We currently have some...bitter rivals...that no matter how hard we try, they always defeat us. We need some...assitance." she explained.

"I can help you with that, we have a powerful Infestation Pod that is able to corrupt any world into a barren wasteland. It can help you defeat them." he said.

"Excellent! I can alterady plot their demise approaching...hahahahahahahah...." she laughed evilly as she projected a small vision with her changeling magic, revealing the main cast alongside a child wearing a green coat talking to Celestia.

End of Chapter 7

Author's Note

You waited. You looked at the clock. You got impatient. You couldn't handle it. You probably even unmarked this story from the favourites, thinking that the story was discontinued and I left the site. But here it is! Chapter 7 returned from the repair shop and came back better!

Also, just to let it be known, Chrysalis will cast a spell on the rude Grox captain that allows him to survive in T-3 enviorment.
