Brave New World, Discord's Revenge
Welcome to Ponyville
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Professor was walking with his friends towards a large, town, filled with ponies of different colours and natures.
He stopped at what appeared to be the invisible boundary surrounding the town. He looked left, then right. he started to use his hooves as some sort of compass. The others looked at him blankly.
"What's he doing?" Ebony asked. The other's shook their heads. They had known him to do stuff like this.
When the Professor finished, he looked across at his friends. "This is the boundary of Ponyville." He stated.
"So?" Tom replied impatiently. "Its nothing." He walked slowly toward the invisible line.
"I wouldn't if I were you." The Professor said in sing-song tones.
"Why not?" Sam questioned.
"Watch...Ebony, come here would you?" He pointed to a spot just outside the boundary. "Now walk into Ponyville."
Ebony looked back at Tom. Tom shrugged his shoulders and nodded. Ebony walked through the boundary.
CRASH!
A pink blur had attacked Ebony and was now lying on her front. Everyone yelled out.
The pink creature gasped and looked at all the other new ponies staring at it, quizzically.
"Oh! Professor! You brought me some new friends!".
"Indeed." Owen replied. "Everyone, meet the total utter randomness that is...Pinkie Pie."
Pinkie Pie shook everyone's hoofs in turn. "Hi, i'm Pinkie Pie, who are you? Are you from Equestria? Which part of Equestria?"
She turned to look at Sam. "Do I know you?" She asked, her right eyebrow lifting.
Sam looked stunned. As did everyone else. Tom and Ebony were still trying to get their heads around a pink talking horse, while Aimee and Sam were spellbound. Meeting THE Pinkie Pie after all.
"Anyway, Pinkie, We're on our way to see Twilight about some housing." Owen said.
"Okey Dokey Lokey!" Pinkie said. "Ooh! Someone else just broke the barrier! I MUST MEET NEW FRIENDS!" and with that she bounded off down the road. Reminding everyone of that skunk off Loony Tunes.
Sam's mouth was wide open with shock. "Come on Sam, we are not a cod-fish." Owen said.
He led everyone deeper into Ponyville. Unfortunately they had to keep on stopping every time Sam saw a background
character he knew. Eventually they made it to the Library.
The Professor knocked on the big, oak doors. After a few seconds a small purple dragon answered it.
"Oh, hi Professor," It said. "Ah! These must be the new ponies you were talking about! I'll get Twilight."
He rushed off up the stairs.
"Are you impressed?" The Professor said to his friends. All of them nodded.
After a few moments, a lavender coloured unicorn with a purple mane arrived at the door.
"Oh, good morning Professor." Twilight smiled. "Wow, new ponies from another world, interesting. I guess your experiment worked for a second time."
"I was confident!" Owen protested.
He asked them to introduce themselves.
Sam stood up firstly. "Hi Twilight...My name's Sam." He nervously bowed his head.
"Nice to meet you, Sam." Twilight replied.
Ebony and Tom introduced themselves.
Last up was Aimee.
"Hi Twilight Sparkle, My name is Aimee. I'm from Earth. "
"A pleasure to meet you Aimee." Twilight answered, blushing slightly. The Professor looked at her and tilted his head. This time, he was ignored.
Twilight showed them into the Library. Sam and Aimee gasped as they saw all the neatly arranged books sitting tidily on shelves. They immediately went over and grabbed the nearest book, which turned out to be: "Obscure Unicorn History".
While Sam and Aimee read. Owen asked Twilight if the accommodation was ready.
"Why, yes. Applejack, Rainbow Dash and the whole apple family finished it last night. They were really pleased with themselves, actually. You should go round and check it out. It's quite close to Fluttershy's cottage."
"Right then. " The Professor said. "Now your agenda is finished, I'll complete mine."
"Your agenda?" Aimee questioned.
"I'm off to see a certain someone about a certain hat." and with that, he raced out the door, leaving everyone with Twilight.
"I best show you your new home then, while you stay here in Equestria." Twilight said, staring at the dust pile Owen had left behind. She sighed then gestured for Spike to clean up the mess.
"Do I really have to go?" Sam whined as the book was pried from his hooves.
"Yes, dear." Twilight said with a smile, placing the book back on the shelf with her magic.
They all left the Library and headed off in the direction of Fluttershy's house.

The Professor was strolling down a road, nodding to people as he went. He looked up at Sugar Cube Corner. He sighed contentedly and continued.
CRASH!
A window broke in Sugar Cube Corner, and a dark blue pegasus with ginger hair fell through.
"Urrgh..." It said. The Professor recognised that voice...but that was impossible...
"Jake?!" Owen said staring at the pony.
"Owen?" It replied. Jake stood up.
"OWEN! It's been too long, old friend!" He hugged him, then looked at him. "You've become a pony! Brilliant...I've become a pony! Even better!"
"Can I ask why you're here?"
"Oh yes, ever since that accident as a child, whenever I fall through a window, I go to a different reality!"
"Accident?" The Professor questioned.
FLASHBACK
2 years prior to 2012
"Owen are you sure about this?" Jake asked.
"Just hold this uranium, and stop moaning." Owen placed a huge chunk of a glowing green rock in his hands.
"Where'd you even get that from?"
"Russia!" Owen replied.
"Did you steal it? They'll have your head for that, you know."
"Nonsense!" Owen yelled, plugging a wire into a strange metal circle in the middle of the room. "I left a note, saying I borrowed it."
"What did you write?"
"Dear the Russians, We need the uranium, signed the Americans." Owen continued happily to add uranium to a small furnace nearby.
"You'll cause a nuclear war!" Jake yelled "And we're not even American!"
"They don't know that...Now hold on, I'm about to try science." He stuck a wire in a hole and turned on the power. A lightning bolt from the small portal it made struck Jake in the chest. The portal then shut.
"Jake say something!" Owen said as he ran to his best friend's side.
"Nipples." Jake replied, opening his eyes.
PRESENT DAY: EQUESTRIA
"Oh yeah." Owen said thoughtfully. "Now come and meet my friends, I brought Sam, Aimee, Ebony and Tom along with me!"
"Did Tom come kicking and screaming?" Jake teased.
"...yes..." Owen replied, unwillingly. "I'd love to stay and talk nonsense but first I need to go and see Miss Rarity for my brand new top hat." He turned to leave.
"Just go to Fluttershy's cottage!" and with that, he ran off,leaving another dust pile behind him. Jake coughed.

"Well." Twilight said to the five ponies following her. "We've arrived!" she pointed at a large cottage at the edge of the Everfree forest.
It was large with huge oak beams stabilising it. The roof was thatched and had a brick chimney pot sitting neatly on it, spewing little wisps of smoke. Around the exterior, there were many hedges and flower patches, which were being tended to by two ponies.
"Applejack! Fluttershy!" Twilight shouted. Her two friends turned around to see her and five newcomers.
"Hey Twi, who are ya' friends?" Applejack asked as she carefully placed some roses into a bed.
"These are the ponies that the Professor brought with him from the other universe!" Twilight said. "This is Sam, Aimee, Ebony, and Tom.
"Well howdy, nice ta' meet ya'll." Applejack said. "Ma' name's Applejack, and I work down at Sweet Apple Acres." She looked up at the cottage. "Oh yes, and this'll be your new home while ya'll stay here in Ponyville."
The others nodded their thanks, but were looking more closely at the small, shivering pony that had been planting tulips.
"Fluttershy?" Sam whispered. "Awwwwwww, she's so cute."
Even Tom's heart had melted at the sight of the yellow pegasus. "She's adorable..." He smiled.
"Hi everyone, my name's Fluttershy, I'll be your neighbours while you live here..."
"Awwwwwwww!" Everyone screamed.
They all went into the newly created house, and came across a most unexpected, astonishing sight...
