Tokyo Equestria

*A/N.....Any ideas for a freaking story line here? Talk to me jerkwads, I can't do anything right on my own.*

Twilight Sparkle stretched her new body and yawned, flexing new muscles and rolling strange joints. She flipped a switch she had seen used the night before and light flooded the room giving her a chance to look around. It was very small, with a single bed she had slept on and a small table that had a tray with two cups of tea and two plates of rice covered in a strange stew. On the other side of the table Ko lay still asleep on the floor, near him was a wooden chest. The walls were covered with long parchments with a few strange symbols on each of them, and at first glance the door looked like just another part of the wall.

Twilight crawled over to Ko, unaccustomed to the numbness in her legs from sleeping in what must have been a strange position for a human. She sat next to him and waited a few minutes, watching him twitch in his sleep. After just a few minutes though Twilight began poking him until he opened one eye and stared at her.

"Oh uhm..Good morning Ko.."

"Yeah whatever... They brought breakfast?"

"Oh! Yes, there's two plates of something and some tea. I wasn't expecting anything, where are we?"

"...The monastery."

"Mono- A church? So you're a priest?"

"No. I grew up here, I left for a few years but I came back and they let me live here in exchange for work."

"So you're..."

"I'm hungry. Let's eat."

Ko put the pillow from the bed on the floor and motioned for Twilight to sit on it, as he sat on the floor across her and picked up a pair of chopsticks and began to eat. Twilight watched him eat before she picked up the second pair of utensils and mimicked his actions. Ko watched as Twilight repeatedly failed at picking up rice and stew until he finished. When she saw that he'd finished his meal before she even ate a single piece, Twilight lost her temper and threw the chopsticks down onto the table where they'd pounced into Ko's open hand. He smiled slightly and moved to sit behind Twilight, putting the chopsticks back in her hand and closing his own over hers. He moved her hand towards the plate and picked up a piece of the stew, bringing it to her mouth for her. The girls face turned red as she bit down on the food and swallowed a few times until Ko stepped away.

"Never used them before have you?"

"In Equestria we have forks and spoons, and I use magic to use utensils. I'm not used to having fingers or needing my body for dexterity!"

"Relax, you're a quick learner, I wasn't even helping you there except from the beginning."

Twilight and Ko sat on a bench together by a river. Ko sat and listened to Twilight as she rambled about magical properties and the 'logic' behind magic. Though he hardly understood anything, he was still able to attempt to help her work through problems with a secondary perspective. Twilight occasionally tried to focus and levitate a flower out of Ko's palm but to no avail. After giving up on using her magic, Twilight asked Ko about magic in his world.

"Well...To humans magic is all but dead, we don't think it really exists anymore except in some areas and that magic isn't anything like what I've heard of yours. In Africa there are tribes that believe in medicine magic which is like potions or herbs and conversing with spirits to influence outcomes but that's all shamanistic trickery. There are cryptozoologists who insist that there are monsters that can shapeshift and stuff but nobody sees them and lives to tell about it if they are real. I know an American wiccan, a girl from across the ocean- her religion is essentially what most people would call witchery."

"Witchery, you make magic sound like it's a bad thing."

"Most ideas of magic in this world are, while there are some ideas of healing or practical use like telekinesis or teleportation, most people think of magic as something used to hurt people, a power that corrupted the user and made them into devilish fiends. Even the kind of magic that sounds like it would be good is more often portrayed as abused and evil- like, bringing back the dead not to give life but to own it. If anyone could teleport they would probably just use that to sneak and steal, same with telekinesis."

"I don't see anything that could help me get back to my world, I was working on a spell to allow me to see into other dimensions to see how the world could change dependent on certain actions- no more would've could've should've, we could know the best action before we take it. Something disrupted my magic and made me lose control, I suppose I accidentally teleported into the multiverse."

"I can pretend to fully understand that."

Twilight rolled her eyes and leaned back looking up. She raised her arm up and clenched her fist, as though trying to grab the sun. Tears started to come to her face.

"I miss my home Ko... My friends, Spike...Celestia... I can't stay here, I don't belong.."

Ko edged next to her and put one arm around her shoulder, and help his finger and thumb out like an L on both hands.

"It looks pretty far away Twi, impossible to reach when we're all the way down here..."

He put his fingers together in a little square, and raised it up so the sun was in the middle.

"But when you look a different way, you can almost just reach out and touch it. I'll find a way Twilight. We'll get you home."

Twilight marveled at the sights around her, the dark Gothic style did nothing to hinder the unbridled happiness the purple eyed girl showed as she gazed across the small bookstore. Everything was black or gray, with dark red symbols etched into the shelves and counters. A black table at the back was occupied by two teenage boys with bright green or blue hair, one in a mohawk, the other fallen in front of his face. They had their heads against the table like they were sleeping but watched Twilight indifferently as she stepped inside. Behind her, Ko leaned against the door frame and sighed. A girl who had more tattoos than she did exposed skin glared at Twilight from behind short black and red hair.

"Hi there!"

Twilight turned to the girl and waved, cheerily greeting her and awaiting response. After a few moments of stare meeting glare Ko tapped Twilight's shoulder and whispered into her ear.

"Twi these people hate everything, especially happy girls. Try to look indifferent, or at least bored."

He half closed his eyes and slouched, slowly turning to the girl and yawning. Her glare instantly disappeared and was replaced with a sigh and a raised magazine. Ko pulled Twilight, who was staring at the clerk with both confusion and shock that any sort of person could exist. He brought her to a couple shelves where nobody was watching them and leaned against the wall.

"Go ahead and look around, take what you think is useful."

"It's okay, I'm done!"

"...What? Already, wasn't there anything that could help you?"

"Oh yeah! I just read the ones that weren't nonsense already. I can read really fast."

"Twilight I'm not going to start on how ridiculously impossible what you just did is. Anything you want to take?"

"Just two- The dimensions of magic, and Mana of our lives"

Ko took the books and yawned again, practically staggering over to the counter and dropping them. The girl looked at them and pressed a couple buttons on the register, a number came up and Ko grumbled as he dropped the money on the counter, took the books, and left with Twilight following him.

"Ko I don't like those people very much..."

"Nobody does, they're the bad side of their kind- depressed rich kids obsessed with Gothic architecture and pseudo-satanism. Don't get me wrong they aren't all bad people, and some of the people in that clique actually know what a smile is, but the ones that advertise that they are in that sub-genre of people are generally just bland jerks. Whatever though- we got the books."

"Great, if I study them I should be able to get an idea of how to do magic in this world!"

"Here's to optimism there love, let's head back to the Monastery."
