Love and Tolerance

Scoots was the first to find her way through the portal, coming through with a head over hooves tumble. When she finally regained her bearings, she saw that she was in a small clearing. "The others are more than likely right behind me." She thought. So she decided to head off in the direction of which she thought best to: North. After a few seconds of crawling through the brush, she found herself on a road. She thought it a strange looking road as it was patterned with lines. She placed a cautious hoof onto it, then, determining that it was safe enough to walk on, moved into the middle and looked around.

Thomas drove defensibly, as he squealed his tires around the tight corners. He was never this reckless when he was driving, but as determined he was to get to Bronycon, he needed something to take his mind off the idea, that many male pedophiles would be there, talking about their favorite ponies. He groaned as he reached over to his glove compartment and pulled out antacid tablets. He quickly popped them in his mouth, and reach down to pick a song from his ipod, it wasn't until a few moments when he noticed an orange pony with a purple mane standing in the middle of the road. OH SWEET JESUS!!!! *he sharply turned his wheel to the right to avoid hitting the animal

A loud squeal emitted from Scoots as she dropped down to her stomach and covered her head with her hooves, her body shaking from fear for her life. She had only seen such contraptions such as these a couple times, at that time the other crusaders made their way through the tree line to see what could possibly be the cause of such a commotion. Rainbow Dash Sprang from the tree line to see Scootaloo on the road huddled in a ball. She looked over and saw a large metal contraption to her right. She ran over to the Petrified pony and instantly asked: "Are you okay?"
Mike sat back in his seat and chuckled "this is gonna be GREAT!" he smiled big and looked at Tom. "Do you think you'll have fun too?" he asked. He was pumped to get to the convention, he knew he was gonna have a lot of fun; he had only hoped his cousin would have fun as well and became a Brony too. Mikes eyes widened as he saw the orange pony with a brightly colored purple mane. "OH CRAPOLA!!!" he screamed as Tom did a sharp right that almost tipped the car over. Scoots fluttered her wings a bit, the shook her legs out. "Y-yea... I...I think so..." She opened her eyes slowly to look up the cyan pony standing before her, and then looked past her to the thing that had almost taken her life. "What... what is that?" Rainbow shrugged. "I don't know" She looked back at the contraption and walked towards it. She peered into the window very slightly so nothing could see her until her eyes widened and she ran back to Scootaloo. "The portal worked!" she panted, "We are in a different universe."

Thomas skidded to a halt squealing the tires. He stepped on the breaks so hard that his skull hit the steering wheel and flung his head back onto the head rest. He groaned as he quickly sat in his seat a little dizzy from the accident as he tried to regain composure. He blinked a few times as he tried turning his neck, but winced in pain as a sharp stabbing motion fled throughout his body. “Oh, No! No, No, No! Not My Car!!!!! He groaned as he unbuckled his seat belt, but as he did so, the air bag popped out if its socket. "You have got to be kidding me!!!"

The Rainbow manned pony looked back at the contraption with worried eyes. She saw two creatures in there, and she hoped they were okay. "I'm going to go help them. Rainbow slowly walked toward the vehicle. She was the most loyal pony after all. She walked right to the door, and opened it. She peered inside and saw the two figures. "Hello." She said quietly. "Uhh, Are you two okay?" Sweetie and Applebloom came over to help Scoots up off the road, checking her over to make sure that she wasn't hurt. After that was confirmed, they headed over to see what Dash was up to.

Mike's head hit the window hard then he fell back onto the seat. The impact not only broke the window but it almost made Mike have a hairline fracture and it knocked him out. He was going to be fine, nothing damaged but his forehead was bleeding badly.

Rainbow, noticing the two were unconscious, sighed and pulled one body out of the mangled vehicle. "Come on." she said through her teeth. "Grab him and pull him to the grass" Thomas he groaned as he turned his head toward Rainbow Dash, "Sorry Officer, we weren't speeding, we were just......driving really, really fast! He laid his head back on the seat Oh Man, my head! *he groaned, as he felt himself being dragged through the grass. "Oh Man, now we did it!" Rainbow dragged the two into the grass by Flutter Shy, as she immediately began to treat the two with pre-packed bandages she brought from her cottage.

As soon as the two were cleaned up, they waited for them to awaken. “Oh my......” Flutter Shy sighed unhappily, “these two certainly got banged up......” ‎"I know." Rainbow said unhappily. Even though she didn't know the two, she felt bad and hoped they recovered soon.
Thomas groaned, as he squint his eyes, the pain from the wreck was excruciating and he tried sitting up. The trio of crusaders whisper worriedly among themselves. They finally made their way over and Scoots asked "Are they going to be alright?"

‎"I think so-" Rainbow was about to say, but then she noticed the taller one moving

Flutter Shy ‎put a hoof on the taller one “Lie still... you hit your head very hard......,” She said quietly. Thomas was about to get up, but gently laid back down as he groaned again, trying to blink away the terrible migraine “uh, Mike...?”

‎"Shh, you almost died there. Don’t talk, you need to rest." Rainbow said concerned for the taller man. She walked over to the shorter boy and touched his face gently. Mike was still knocked out from the crash.

Scoots eyes widened and she cursed under her breath even though she was told not to by all the older ponies. "Died? I... I'd feel so bad... " Rainbow sighed as she realized that their condition was critical. She turned around to the other ponies. "Should we take them... to somewhere?" she asked Flutter Shy. "I guess so." she replied looking nervously at the two figures before her.

Thomas groaned as he tried to sit up again, rubbing the back of his head as he slowly began to regain consciousness “Mike.... I think we hit our heads harder than we thought.” Flutter Shy Yelped and hid behind Rainbow as she saw this movement. Rainbow looked back and sighed. "Hey, my name is Rainbow Dash. I am here to help. Where do you guys live? We need to take you back there now." Rainbow said looking at the now upright figure. Thomas rubbed his head again, “hey Mike? I think we're dead...I see a blue figure with wings.....”

Rainbow stood puzzled. "Dead?" she repeated. "She nudged the man's shoulder and made him look her directly to the eyes, "Hey listen buddy. We just saved your lives from that.... thing over there. You gonna thank us or what?" Rainbow was furious now and was talking from her heart. Scoots let out a long sigh of relief. "You're alive! I was so worried!"
Tom slowly opened his eyes as the blurred reality became more visible, slowly his eyes widened.

Mike groaned and held his head "ugggghhhh........what happened...?" Rainbow Dash ran to the shorter figure. "Ahh good, you both are awake now, excellent." She hoped for a better result this time for she didn't like the taller one's first impression. "My name is Rainbow Dash. Who are you guys?"

Thomas blinked as he wiped his eyes free from blood and mucus, as he was instantly hit with the sense of a severe pain. Mike blinked a few times, looking up at a rainbow manned pony, his eyes widened when he noticed who it was. he gulped silently and his eyes widened even bigger "R...Rainbow....d...Dash...?" Rainbow Dash rushed back to the taller man's side, but Flutter Shy beat her to it. "Now, now." she said in a soothing and relaxing tone, "you need to get back to your home." Rainbow Dash Rainbow heard her name said and ran hurriedly to the smaller man. "Yep, that's me. Why, you heard of me from a different universe?"

Thomas groaned again as he blinked and looked at the three young filly's. he blinked numerous times wetting his eyes, then shifted shifted his eyes to his car that seemed to be perfectly fine OH NO MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!! Dad is going to have a fit!!!
Mike slowly tried to sit up but winced in pain "am....am I dreaming?" Rainbow sighed as she wanted the two to realize this was real. She instantly picked up the shorter figure and started to trot away from the vehicle. Flutter Shy also picked up the taller man and followed. Rainbow Dash followed the skid marks to a small house and guessed this was it.

Thomas blinked as he felt himself being carried. He gently touched the yellow pony's coat. Flutter Shy smiled and looked back at the curious man. "I am glad to see you like my coat. See, most other ponies don't like it because it smells like other animals, but I seem to think its fine.. She said quietly.

She trotted into a house and plopped the immobile figure onto the table and ran around the house looking for medical supplies. Mike blinked a few times then looked up at Flutter Shy. He gulped slightly....if they were real he was going to make a fan boy scream. "You....you wouldn't happen to b...Be Flutter Shy....would you....?" he asked slightly weak from the wreck. Flutter Shy turned and grinned happily. "Oh, yes… I am. How have you two heard of us?" She said now realizing that they could Identify Rainbow Dash and Her too. The fillies followed behind them inspecting the two with great curiosity. Never before had they seen a figure like this! They just whispered among themselves, giggling sometimes as well.
Thomas groaned as he plopped on the table “you're lucky that this house is abandoned,” He mumbled. Mike was about to make a fanboy scream but it came out as squeak when he tried to sit up again a good dose of pain shot though his body. Flutter Shy hurriedly ran to the smaller man's figure, "Oh you poor, poor baby. I will fix you, just keep still." she said in a surprisingly soothing and relaxing tone as she pulled out some painkillers and bandages from her bag. Rainbow Dash came in and went to the taller figure. She noticed he was less hurt and began asking questions like: "who are you," and "what are you," and more interesting things like that. Mike nodded softly and lay back down, trying his best to ignore the pain and just relax.

Thomas squinted an eye as he re-positioned himself, another burst of pain in his skull shot through his body as he squeaked, “I am....um.......he gulped I....uh.....he glanced at Mike. “Pssst! Mike, what do I do? I am being interrogated by a flying dog!” Dashie looked insulted at his sentence. "Hey!" she yelled, "I already told you my name is Rainbow Dash and I am a PONY!" At the last word she slammed a hoof on the table. Mike laid there with his eyes closed, relaxing while Flutter Shy's soft and soothing voice talked to him. She almost sounded like his mother when he was injured and had to get patched up when he was younger. He jumped a little and looked at Dash, eyes widened. Rainbow looked at Michael cautiously. "Sorry, did I startle you?"
“Okay! okay! Don't kill me!!! he stuttered and groaned as he looked at the cyan Pegasus. “My name is Tom, and that over at that table yonder, is my brother Mike. We are human, and we were on our way to bronycon....an um..... He gulped a fetish festival for......males to talk about a little girls television show... called: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic...” Rainbow Dash looked interested at the mention of ponies. "So, that's where you heard of us?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. “Am I as awesome and cool on the show as I am now?" she gloated striking a pose. Thomas he chuckled a bit, the feeling of laughter alleviated the symptoms of his migraine actually I never seen the show....” Rainbow smiled as she knew he was lying. "Oh?" she said smiling. "Then how do you know our names? Thomas shifted his eyes “because Mike just told you a few minutes ago.” Rainbow looked at Michael and trotted over. "So you are the mighty one who knows us." Rainbow said happily. She bent down and hugged him gently so no pain occurred. "This is so awesome!!! We’re famous!!!" she said with a smile of glee on her face. Her eyes seemed to twinkle like Rarity’s diamonds she held her hooves to her face and made puckered her lips, making her "fishy" face.

Mike smiled a bit and nodded and giggled "I don't know why but I had the feeling you were real..." he told them, smiling bigger. Rainbow looked stunned. She didn’t know what to say. She wanted to pick Michael up and swing him around and hug him dead, but she knew that was going to break him... she simply leaned down and gave a quick kiss and blushed. She trotted away happily humming a tune. Thomas ooked at her awkwardly as he blinked a few times ............Um.........he groaned as he tried to stand up, but he quickly fell back on to the table feeling dizzy. Mike's face blushed instantly and he smiled a little, slightly love struck.....did Rainbow Dash just kiss him?! "Oh my god Rainbow Dash just kissed me...AND HUGGED ME!" he thought to himself....he had a crush on Dash ever since the show first started, and NOW in the living flesh she kissed him! Thomas sat back on the table still dizzy, and lay back down while Flutter Shy carefully bandage him up "There you go, sweetie all better..." she said shyly as she looked down at her hooves and hid her face behind her pink mane. Rainbow Dash seemed to fly above Thomas as she carefully gave him the stare down. Her brightly colored mane forelock, inches away from his face, as she gently pressed her snout against his, peering to the depths of his soul with a purple iris. Thomas couldn't help but stare back; his eyes widened as he held in his breath…Don't blink he thought. They can smell fear Mike was still love struck, he couldn’t help but stare at Rainbow, admiring her colorful mane.

Thomas Brae ‎*Rainbow continued to stare him down as she dug deeper into his soul, her forehead pressed firmly against Toms. She squinted her eyes as she gritted her teeth. Tom could smell her breath which was nothing like he had smelled before; it was... was neither sweet, nor sour....it was in fact bland. she stared at him and pushed him on to the table gently. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! YOU ALMOST RAN OVER Scoot Aloo with your....you....your......metal thingy!!!!"
Suddenly Pinkie Pie trots in admiring all the beautiful things She giggles then sees Flutter Shy, Rainbow and the Cutie Mark Crusaders "Hey Guys!" She giggled out in a hyper tone. I was bored and followed you into the Forest! So watcha doin?"
Thomas immediately shot up from the bench and clonked heads with Rainbow Dash “OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!” they said in unison ... “Oh-Oh my...I hope you two are o...okay..." Fluttershy said sheepishly.

Tom rubbed his forehead and glanced at the pink pony, not another one! Mike snapped out of his fixated stare then looked at Pinkie Pie and gasped "PINKIE PIE TOO!?"

‎Pinkie Pie quickly glanced “Who said my name?!" Who are these things!?" trots over to both of them "Hey they look kind of funny!" runs around them giggling and humming to a tone of music. Thomas groaned as Rainbow Dash glides over to her “Pinkie Pie,” Rainbow questioned How did you...where did you....Ugh, never mind!” Flutter Shy looked at Pinkie Pie and smiled “...Hello, Pinkie Pie....” "Helloooooooooo!" screamed Pinkie Pie, running and making silly noises, "So! Watch'a up to fellas?"

Thomas winced as he face palmed, only to get another painful shot throughout his body Rainbow settled to the ground and folded in her wings Well you see, Pinkie, we were just questioning this....thing and finding out where we are and why he almost ran over Scoots. Pinkie takes a long gasp, "What!? Is she ok!? She glared, “were you trying to HURT Scootaloo!?" She bounces over to Scootaloo asking her questions "Skeewtahlew!" Her voice trailed off. Thomas rubbed his head and sighed, “I must have hit my head harder than I thought,” Mike blinked for a few seconds “sometimes I swear that pony is on drugs...either that or a sugar high,” he thought to himself.
