New Ponyvillian Desktop Adventures Written by: Camo Flash Edited by: Tyreese-le-Tyler43 and wtfboom88 Day 1: Familiar Faces Hi. My name is Calvin Mico. I'm a chat moderator on Bronystorm. That's a chatroom for bronies. A moderator, for those who don't know, is somebody who goes through and makes sure the comments stay within the rules, and ban hackers. On another note, I live in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia. One faithful night, while this was happening, something else decided to happen. Again, I'm Calvin Mico, and this is my story. It is a normal evening on Bronystorm, a chat room made especially for bronies, as one could guess by the site’s name. Like almost every session nowadays, my friends Genny, Stripey, Shady, and Lily, some various idle guests and I are left in the chat. Shady is silent, as usual, most of the time. Tonight, Lily posts cute selfmade pics of her own character and Stripey tells her how good she is. And me? I am too busy reading fan-fictions and writing, in another chat, while Skyping with a friend of mine with whom I play a certain game with. But, again, my game freezes and I get the dreaded popup message [Shadowworld2.exe has stopped working] "What the...?” I stare at my screen in disbelief. “My game crashed! Again! What in the fuck is wrong with it? Every, time, I, start, it… It runs perfectly fine, and, like 20 minutes later, BOOM! Crashes for no reason!" I yell. “Yeah. I know what you mean. I have the same problem.” Nobody, the friend I am Skyping with, says. “That’s it! I have had enough for today!" I almost yell, at no one in particular, and look back at Bronystorm to see if anyone wanted to talk to me. "Okay. I’mma play some ‘Tank: Revolution’ then." As if on cue, I get a message from Genny. G[Hey Camo what`s up bro?:D] C[Heyoo~ not much genny just rageing cause i can`t play a game^^.How about you?] G[Busy as always you know xD but i wanted to ask you something.] C[Yeah i remember xD what do you want to know?] G[2 minutes ago a new one joined into the chat and is permanently switching between Foal (guest), Subject (member), Royal Guard(moderator) and Princess(Owner) since he or she came. The strangest thing is: i dont know and cant contact that person and I already tried to talk to "it", but it seems that this one does not want to speak with me. Can you try it one more time?] I stare at the last message. C[Maybe its a hacker or something ill check it out k?^^] G[Please do^^] A little uncomfortable with the situation, I click on the newcomer. That’s going to be interesting. I have never had to deal with a hacker before. Hmm… No name, no number... And no... I begin to yell at the disturbing realization I make. “What the fuck? Where did all the buttons go?” “Hey, what are you yelling about?” Nobody asks. “Sorry but...Y’know the chat I am in every day, right?” “Yeah? And?” “The buttons of the menu that appear if you click someone are gone. Not just... through a bug or something.” "Well you are fucked!” he laughed "What did you want to do anyway?" "Nothing. Just talk to a hacker, or whatever. He/she seems to be one, maybe. It can be just a virus too. You never know." "Fail. Hacked menu! BWAHAHA..." he taunts, and evilly laughs out loud. I just mute him to look at the menu once more. There, I see that that all the buttons are gone but the private chat. I click it, and the screen goes green for a second. I ignore it for now. Must be the after effects of the game crash or something. C[Heyoo~] No answer. C[Are you a brony or pegasis?] Again, no answer. C[Come on talk to me!] My screen was filled by the hacker’s spammed message: [ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER!] C[Ehh...O K ?°~°] I see that someone talked to in the main chat. I forget the problem at hand to go look who it is. I don’t believe my eyes. Genny’s avatar is blinking, and somewhat moving, although it is not a .gif at all. Other than that, I can’t see any changes. Suddenly, I see my own avatar window empty. “What the fuck?” I get closer to the screen to look if I can see better. "What the fu-" I shout, as I feel something invisible cut me off and drag me into the screen. Suddenly, I go unconscious. Somehow. I hear muffled voices... "Look! He’s waking up!" A, somewhat high-pitched, voice shouts. Everything is blurry, so I can’t really see where I am but the ground feels soft, and I am covered with, what can only be, a blanket. So, upon these facts, I assume that I am in a bed. "Ow! My head." I rub my forehead, eyes closed. Just to find it hard to do so without… Feeling, my fingers? I open my eyes slowly "What?" I can see my arm now, just one thing is different. It becomes obvious why I can’t feel my fingers. "That`s not my arm. This is a leg or..." I turn it around. "...hoof?" "Wow, you must’ve hit your head pretty hard, huh?" I hear someone say from my left with a chuckle. I look in the direction of the speech just to see a cyan pony with a rainbow-coloured mane. My eyes go wide as I stare at her, very much to her confusion. "What?” she rubbed her cheek. “Do I have something on my face?" "Nope! But he seems to know you!" another voice sang from the other side. The same high-pitched voice as before. I turn my head again to see another, pink pony with a heliconia mane. "Huh?" is all I can manage to say, throwing my forelegs in the air out of confusion. "You’re funny!" she giggles. Suddenly, she let out a sharp gasp. Under her breath, she added: "I just realized that i have to -" "-throw me a party?" I finish. "Aw! You already know that? What a pity! Now it`s not a secret anymore!" she looks a bit sad as she says this. "How do you already know about Pinkie’s parties?" Rainbow asks. "The same way I know that you, are a lazy worker," I say with a grin, and pause for a beat. She looks a bit confused. And a bit offended. "...and a caring friend who’s loyalty is unmatched in the whole of Equestria?" She looks more confused but mixed with a smile. I remember to check on me again. I look at my hands. Or, what were my hands. Great! Hooves. And in orange, too. Same goes for my back. What the hell?! Okay. I should have seen this coming.” A golden ponytail. Accompanied by a pair of wings, the same colour, with golden tip. Worried, I feel for my head. Okay. Large, pointy ears… and a short snout. I almost wonder if a short snout is bad. "Oops! Almost forgot!" Rainbow remembers, pointing to a nightstand. "This is the only thing you had with you when we found you." I look back at the nightstand she points to, and see a hat. Partly coloured in camouflage. I pick it up and adjust it on my head. Following this, I look for a mirror, find one, and take a good look at myself. "Okay. First off: What is your name? Second off, where do you come from?" Pinkie asks, eerily. "..seems like I am…” I mumble into the mirror, touching my face gently with my newly found hooves, exploring my new features. I shake myself back to reality. “I mean, my name is ‘Camo Flash’..." "Camo Flash? What kind of name is that?" Rainbow laughs. "Better be quiet, Rainbow Dash!" I growl, aggravated. Not even five minutes in a new world, still in shock, and Rainbow Dash is taunting me. "How do you know my name? I never introduced myself!" she points at me, almost scared. "I know you better than you might think!” I argue. “And, on that note, my name is at least 20% cooler than yours." "Pff!” she scoffed. “As if." "Oh. So you mean a flash is lame, but dashing is cool? Or what?" she is silent now, trying to think of a retort. "Where are you from?" Pinkie yells, interrupting us both. She looks really aggravated herself, due to her question not getting answered. "Not from here," I sing, taunting their ignorance. "Well, DUH!” she grabs me by the shoulders and begins to talk very fast. “We figured that much since I don`t know you and I know everypony in Ponyville ‘cause everypony in Ponyville or everypony in general is my friend and if you aren’t it means…” Deep breath. “…you are not from here by the way are we friends now?" She ends with a big smile, and a deep sigh. "Right, sure!" She beams with a smile so wide, it makes me smile as well. "Whoa. Wait a second, you understood that?" Rainbow asks, in awe. "Well, yeah… I am used to it," I shrug. Rainbow shakes her head. "Used to Pinkie? Nice try, I’m not fully used to her, and I’ve known her way longer than you have," she points out. I shrug again. "Whatever. Are we going to do something fun? Or do you want to keep asking me questions all day long? I want to try these babies out!" I spread my wings and point to them as I walk out of the white room. "Try them out? You’re a Pegasus. You should’ve flown at least once in your life!" she yells, obviously annoyed. "Believe it or not, this is my first time!" I disagree. She looks at me in shock, stopping right beside the counter Pinkie hopping past her, humming the Parasite Polka. "You’re a flight-virgin? I didn`t think there were any," she laughs. "I said ‘It’s my first time’, not that I am bad at it!" I yell back with a grin and walk out of the hospital completely. That’s what it is, a hospital. Rainbow chases after me. "Pff! The first time means that you will be bad!" she laughs out loud, now close behind me. "Yeah? Okay. I bet with you that i will be better than ‘bad’ at my first flight. If I fail? You...” I thought of something I could give her. “I… hmm… get my cap ...or anything you want. I don’t know I don’t have anything else right now." "Yeah? And what do you want from me if you are better than expected? Although I highly doubt it?" she asks. "Hmm... You know, I could use some place to stay. How about I keep you company ‘til i get my own cloud house?" I bargain. Her smugness wavers and she looks a bit unsure for a second, but regains confidence immediately. "Sure! Why not? You can’t be that good," she says and sits down on the ground. "Okay, deal! Just let me get… warmed up." I agree, stretching myself. I give my wings a few test flaps to get the hang of it. Wow! That`s pretty easy. I don’t know what should be so difficult about it! "Are you ready?" Rainbow asks hovering a bit above the ground with a smirk. "I am ready!" I imitate her voice. "Okay, go!" she makes a gunshot noise, and Pinkie waves a checkered flag. I give my wings one very strong flap, lifting up from the ground higher than I expected and going faster than I want to be going. "Whoa!" I scream. Okay, you can do this, just focus! I barely avoid crashing into a roof “I said focus, damnit!” I shout aloud. I feel Rainbows eyes on me, expecting me to fall down any second, crashing into something. But, as hoped, I fly like I’ve been doing it my whole life! Almost, if not better, than she had done years after her first flight. She goes wide eyed as she realizes this and facehoofs. "Wow look, Dashie! He’s about as good as you!" Pinkie says in awe. I fly past her with a smug grin plastered on my face in a relaxing pose. "I’d say i just won this bet, don’t you think?" I laugh as I come to a stop. Pinkie pulls out a chalkboard and holds it up with 9/10 written on it. "Why just 9?" "You can’t do a Sonic Rainboom!" she protested. "Do I look like I could do a rainbow with this mane?" I sputter and lift my cap to point at my mane. “Maybe a Sonic Blondeboom.” "Oopsie! You’re right!” she correct. She thought about my second statement. “But you could try it!" "Maybe another time." I turn around to Rainbow, who is still in facehoof mode. "Hey roommate!" She sighs. "Yeah?" "Can you show me the way home now?" I smile innocently. "Yeeeaaah, I just have to go see Twilight, one of my friends… you know," she excuses. "Twilight, huh? Are you going to ask her for another Daring Doo book?" I ask with a smirk "Egghead?" She is about to dash right into my face as I say "Nah, just kidding." "You better be," she growls and mumbles something about our bet. I ignore it for now because I think it is too funny to annoy her with knowledge I got from the show. The best thing? I am just getting started. I turn around to face Pinkie again to say my goodbye for now, but find her vanished. I just write it off as Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie. The LibraryNew Ponyvillian Desktop Adventures Written by: Camo Flash Edited by: Tyreese-le-Tyler43 and wtfboom88 The Library So we make our way through Ponyville, flying past the town hall and Sugarcube Corner. The citizens of town, almost like in every cliché story, follow their daily business and go shopping on the market, chatting on the way. Some arguing about the price of the various things for sale, and others are just relaxing at a café or eating outside a restaurant. All in all very normal for a village full of colourful ponies, I guess. I look around more and find some familiar faces like Berry Punch cleaning her bars windows, Aloe waiting in front of the spa, for some reason, and Derpy chatting with Colgate about something. After a short flight I can see the library and fly ahead, very much to Rainbow’s surprise. "Hey! You know I’m the one who wants to go see Twilight, right?" she pants. I nod. "Yeah. I’m just saving us some time to get there!" I yell after. Upon this, I land in front of the tree house library and knock, all before Rainbow can even land. "How did you know that this is Twilight’s library?" she asked as she stumbled to a stop, cursing about useless training. "The better question is: How did I know that this tree is supposed to even be a library?" I say and grin at her. She, in return, continues looks unsure of how to counter. “There’s a lot you don’t know about me, and a lot I know about you guys.” "GIMME A SECOND!" A young boy’s voice shouts out, breaking the silence, and the sounds of footsteps are getting closer. The door opens and a little purple dragon with green spikes and a cream coloured belly opens the door. "Yeah? Rainbow Dash!” he greets. He stares at me for a moment. “And ...who is that?" "Hello, Spike." I state simply before Rainbow can even answer and step past him to enter. "Hey! Did I say my name just now? Because I don’t remember telling you that." the dragon asks Rainbow behind my back, as she enters as well, shaking her head. "That’s Camo Flash. At least, he said that that’s his name. Spike? Do you know where Twilight is? I gotta ask her about the… you know, new book?" she whispers the third part watching me. I mouth the words “Oh, I knew it!” and she just glares at me. "Okay…” he gives me a look. “TWILIGHT? RAINBOW DASH IS HERE WITH A NEW PEGASUS!" the dragon shouts. "Coming!" A voice echoes back from the first floor. The library is big. Really big. Like, a mammoth tree, but hollow on the inside. Including the space for hundreds of books in multiple floors. I’d say almost 20 feet high! I randomly grab a book out of the shelf and read the front page "Equestrian Myths and Legends: Tales of Gods and Monstrosities". I realize now how hard it is to turn a page with these damn hooves. "Please be careful with that book! It’s over 400 years old!" I hear a voice behind me and see the book surrounded by a purple aura and floating back into the shelf. "Let me guess...Twilight Sparkle, prized student of the sun god Princess Celestia, bearer of the Element of Magic… and sister of Shining Armor, head of the protection agency, The Royal Guard?" Upon turning around, I see a very surprised Twilight and a dumbstruck Rainbow Dash looking at me while Spike doesn’t even seem to have listened to what I said and is making his way into the kitchen. "E-everything is correct, yes… and you are...?" she stutters "Just new here, believe it or not. Name’s Camo Flash. It’s an honor to speak with the most talented magician in all of Equestria." I say and bow slightly, this being hard with four legs. She blushes a bit. "Oh, no… I-I mean, yes, thank you, but no. I am not the most powerful magician in all of Equestria...” “Then who is? Trixie?” I taunt. She shakes her head. “The Princesses are much more powerful than I am," she decides. "But you are the Element of Magic. Ri-i-ight?" I laugh. "Why yes!" she perked up. "And you aren’t an alicorn, like Celestia or Luna. Or Cadence…" "Can I get my book now?" Rainbow almost whines in annoyance. She clamps her mouth shut, and I chuckle. Twilight shakes herself out of her trance. She was staring at me weird. Bella to Edward style weird. I shake the thought from my mind. "Oh yes, sorry Rainbow Dash. I will get it right away!" Twilight remembers and pulls out some books out of the shelf. Obviously oblivious to the books last location. "You know who Twilight is and didn’t say a word?" Rainbow whispers to me. "Obvious, isn`t it? I just thought it would be fun to see your reaction...” I chuckle. “Again." She just gives me a deadpan look and resumes watching Twilight while whispering again. "What do you also know about Equestria?" she asked. "Who knows?" I shrug. "Maybe everything. Maybe nothing. Depends." "Depends on what?" she hissed. "On old people. But in this context, it depends on how good my memories are." "So you have been here before?" she shows some excitement. "Hypothetically. I’ve seen the show, and read a lot." "Wh-what are you talking about?" she switches from excitement to worry. "Don’t think about it. It`s just nonsense." She just eyes me again but looks at Twilights chaos once more. "FINALLY!" Twilight shouts levitating the book out of the pile of books in the direction of Rainbow who grabs it and puts it away into her saddlebag. She gave me a quick “You saw nothing” and started for the door. "Wow. Discord would be proud!" I exclaim looking at the chaos what was the ground 5 minutes ago. "What was that?" Twilight asks more for confirmation than for mishearing. Rainbow freezes in the door. "Nothing, Giles,” I brushed off. “I just wonder how long it will take to get this mess cleaned up!" "Oh yes… This will take a while. But for that, I have my number one assistant!" "Aw, MAN!" comes out of the kitchen. “I know that feel, bro,” I comfort. Spike just looked at me through the doorway. "Okay! I guess you got what you wanted?" I ask Rainbow. "Yeah. We can go, now, just let me talk with Twilight about the Grand Galloping Gala next week," she rolls her eyes "Whoa! Wait a sec, the GGG?" "Yes?" she confirms. "First time?" I ask, worried. "Yes?! How can you tell?" she gives me another look. Oh good god, the first time? "Awesome!" I fake happyness. "Dude. You are getting weirder by the second," she nudges me out the door. "Yeah I heard that the first few times. Okay, I’ll leave you two alone for a bit, I will fly and do some sightseeing, if you don`t mind" Rainbow wants to say something, but I cut her off "Take your time." I say and smirk. Before she can say another word, I fly out of the door, shutting it with my tailwind. "Okay, I said that I will do some sightseeing. But what sights do we have to see here?" I ask myself. I facehoof as I realize that: “I kinda just saw one from the inside. Okay, then, I’m gonna see all places from the show!” I shout. “...Who am i even talking to?" First destination: Sugarcube Corner. SweetNew Ponyvillian Desktop Adventures Written by Camo Flash [size=8]Edited by Tyreese-le-Tyler43 and wtfboom88[/size] Sweet I land and take a closer look at the structure of the building. "Sweet! Literally!" I say, out loud, getting a couple of strange looks from passerby’s. Upon entering the gingerbread house, I am assaulted by the smell of almost too sweet treats. I look around to find that I am the only one in here. Strange I look back to the sign that says, on the side that I can see, "closed". So it should say "open" on the other. “Maybe not the time for anyone to buy treats?” I look back in the direction of the counter and look at the cupcakes behind the sneeze guard and, shaking memories of the fanfiction, find myself pretty hungry just by the looks of the food. "Oh! It's you again!" a voice yells. I jump a little as I see Pinkie appear behind the counter out of nowhere. "Pinkie!” I scold, panting. “You almost gave me a heart attack!" "Oh, come on! I didn’t even want to scare you," she protested, raising an eyebrow. "I know, but... okay, you know what? It`s okay. I should have seen it coming; being in the bakery, you being Pinkie and all..." "Okay, now... Would you like to have something? A cupcake maybe? We have all sorts of treats and sweets, different frosting, with caramel, with chocolate ships, covered in it or both. We got white chocolate and brown, filled with marmalade or cream. We have muffins, brownies, cookies-" I suck up some drool protruding from my mouth. She counts the treats as she dashes from one corner to the other collecting the sweets and placing it on the counter creating a candy mountain. "Pinkie!” I shout, but she’s still going on, something about sprinkles. “Pinkie!” I try again, but she’s still talking about croissants. “PINKIE!" I scream, finally grabbing her attention after her rant on marzipan. "Yes?" she stops. I laugh condescendingly. "You know I have no bits to buy these?" I point out. She giggles and says. "Duh, silly! I want to give you one of these for free." "...Marry me?" I whisper sarcastically as I turn to the mountain of pastries. “I don’t know. My parents would have to come down to visit, and I’d have to by a dress, and it’s all so fast, we met this morning! I’m not sure I’m ready to take it to that level…” she looks as if doing math. “I wasn’t being serious,” I correct. She looks relieved. "Oh. So what will it be?" she asks me with a big smile. Looking at the hill of sugar in front of me, I, without checking the pile, decide quickly what I want to have. A Mico family favorite! "Do you have tree cakes?" I ask. She raises her eyebrow again. "What now?" she sputters. "You know, the cake that is coated with chocolate from the outside, and looks like a tree, and has the age rings of a tree from the inside if you slice it?" I make a diagram in the air with my wing. She keeps silently staring at me. "You don`t have it?" I ask with a sheepish smile. She then jumps what seems to be like light speed in front of me and embraces me in a very tight, I-can-not-breath, Pinkie style bear hug, lifting me slightly, even. I begin to choke "Urgh!" "Oh thank you thank you THANK YOU! I haven`t had such a good idea in a long time and finally I have something I can give Fluttershy if she wants something special! OOOH this is going to be great and delicious-"" "Pinkie!" I gasp out of breath. "Oh. Heh, heh, sorry! Your order. I’m on it! Right away!" she lets me free and disappears into the kitchen. I use the time to collect myself and wait in silence, while I think I can hear music coming out of the kitchen and a lot of unexplainable construction noises. She comes back from the kitchen, her cheeks and forehead covered in flour. "Okay, done! You can come pick it up in 3 hours, when it is cooled down and the chocolate coating is dry!" she smiles. "Perfect! I will come back right about then. If that’s okay!" I say nervously. "Of course! I’m here all day long... I mean, as long as i am not with the other girls or singing or preparing a p-" she stops midsentence, seemingly remembering something. "-arty... Hey why don’t you just go out and look around the village some more, and I deliver the cake to you, okay?" "..Okay, I guess!" I say and shrug, leaving the store. Back to sightseeing, I guess. "Let’s see… I saw the library, ordered a cake at Sugarcube Corner, and will be at Rainbow’s place later. Hmm… I could go to the Carousel Boutique, but I think even if Rarity is at home she is busy and I don’t want to distract her from her work. I could always go to Fluttershy’s cottage… No, she wouldn’t even bring herself to answer the door because of her shyness if i happened to knock." I rub my chin with a hoof. "Well! Leaves only one place to go." I say, flying towards the biggest apple tree orchard I have ever seen. Flying across every acre the whole farm ground takes me almost 15 minutes at high speeds. But, while I do, I spot a little campfire almost at the end of the apple orchard, barely touching the Everfree Forest. I had no idea the two were so close! “Let’s take a look who’s camping out there!” I decide aloud. I circle around the campfire just to see someone sitting near it, but from my distance I can only see that it has to be an orange pony with a darker orange mane. "Hey! Do you need help?" I shout from above. The pony jumps and looks around for the origin of the voice. "Hello?" he shouts. "Up here!" I call. He looks up. "Camo?" "Huh?" I squint my eyes to see who just called my name. "Genny?" "Camo! Oh thank Celestia! Hey, I thought i would die alone in this forest! I mean… until I would have eaten all apples around here,” Genny groans and puts an idle hoof on his stomach. I land on the ground next to him and can now clearly see his horn and sunglasses along with his highlighted mane. "Oh man! You are your OC, too?" I laugh. He nods "Yeah! I guess you are too! That’s just awesome!" he throws his forelegs around my neck. "Can you use that thing too?" I say, pointing a hoof at his horn. "Huh? Oh, I still haven`t tried!" he smiles sheepishly and rubs his horn. I smirk. "Just get some apples from these trees or something!" I prod. He gives in. "Okay…" He concentrates on something, and all of a sudden all apples around us glow in a deep orange floating around us. "Wow! You are pretty good!" I chuckle "I don’t play World of Warcraft. Yeah, and it didn’t take as long as expected. I see you already can fly like a pro! Or should I say… like a Rainbow?" he jokes. I slug him in the arm for the bad pun. "Ha, ha. Apropo, Rainbow. Guess who were there when I woke up in hospital?" Genny drops all apples. "No way! Rainbow Dash?" he stares in awe. “The Rainbow Dash?” "Eeyup! And Pinkie Pie!" I announce with pride. "Aw, MAN! And to think I’ve been alone the whole damn day," he shouts with a pout. I smirk a little. "You don`t even know the best thing, yet. She lost a bet to moi, and now I can stay at her place!” I boasted, before adding: “For the time being." "You have got to be kidding me!" he began to walk in circles. He seems to be very jealous right now and I decide to show him the way out. "Hey? Have you had enough fun in here, or do you want to stay a little longer?" i ask with a grin. "No, no, no! I want out of here, ASAP!" he widens his eyes. “Let’s haul ass!” "Okay. Just follow in the direction I fly!" I take off and hover in the air slowly moving forward. It is already dusk, so I speed up a little. Always checking on Genny on the ground. The night has already come as we exit the apple orchard just to find Sweet Apple Acres right in front of us. "Hmm, should we knock on the door? I mean, there is still light in there," I ask Genny, who seems to be very happy to see open ground instead of apple trees upon apple trees. "Huh?” he seemingly snaps out of a trance “Oh, right. We don’t know where to go otherwise." Suddenly the back door opens and we hear a very familiar voice shouting. Open HouseNew Ponyvillian Desktop Adventures Written by Camo Flash [size=8]Edited by Tyreese-le-Tyler43 and wtfboom88[/size] Open House "Who in tarnation is out there ‘n’ what are y’all doing here ‘round this time?" Applejack, an orange mare with a brown Stetson hat on her head and blond mane asks. "Oh, we just came out of the apple orchard, and-" I begin. Applejack is fuming. "What did ya do there?” she continues. “Y’all aren’t allowed t’ go in there." "Hello-oh! I was lost in there almost all day?" Genny draws the attention to himself, rolling his eyes and flailing his hooves. "An’ how did ye get in there?" she asks. "Hell! If I knew that I could actually give you a proper answer!" he laughed. Applejack stares at Genny for what seems like an eternity and then looks at me. "What about you?" she points. "M-me? Oh, I just came to look at the apple trees… but ended up helped him-" i point at Genny "- to get out of it. True story." She eyes us both a last time before nodding and replacing her grim face with a warm welcoming one. "Okay, I believe ya. Seems t’ be the truth. But, still. Don’t y’all have t’ be at home by now?" she asks. "That’s the point !Rainbow promised I could stay at her place! For, a while, and Genny here has no place to stay. We are kind of… new here." She seems to be a little embarrassed and scratches the back of her head. "Shoot! If Ah‘d known that, Ah wouldn't have thought so bad of ya. Ah guess you can stay fer the night,” she apologizes. Pointing at me, she adds. “But, what about you? Do y’all even know where Rainbow’s house is?" "Eenope,” I laugh. “She wanted to guide me there but I guess the little talk with Twilight is already over and she is at home." "The way is really easy! Just fly ta... do y’all know where the library is?" "Yes!" I exclaim. "Great! Just 2 miles east from there!” she points northwest. “Ya can`t miss it, it is very big." "Thanks!" I turn around to Genny "I guess I see you tomorrow, then?" "Of course!" we do a hoofbump and separate. "Okay, now. Genny, was it? Mah name is Applejack. Wanna come in? We’re just havin’ dinner. Care to join us?" Applejack asks. "Oh! I would love to, and it’s technically General, but you can call me Genny, if you want!” Genny explains. He turns to me. “Bye, Camo! See you tomorrow." "Bye!" I yell behind. I wave them goodbye and take off once again, flying back into the now empty town center where the library is. “The lights are out. Is it really that late?” I ask myself flying in the direction Applejack told me to, and, yes: A really, really big cloud is coming closer. I fly higher and, indeed, the house is almost the size of a little castle "He-he. Big ego, big house," I grin and land in front of the door. Nice feeling! Those clouds are fluffy as hell Knocking on the door wouldn’t have made much sense, seeing as it is made out of clouds. So, hastily, I enter the house without any warning. I am now in a long floor with 3 doors and stairs to the next level. Why stairs? She could just fly to the next floor. Shaking my head, I try the first door to my right, finding myself in the living room. A large sofa, some pictures of Rainbow being successful, a shelf full of trophies and badges, all 1st place, a carpet, As if the clouds wouldn`t be fluffy enough. and a table are surrounding me, plus chairs. All of these things made out of clouds. I can see the kitchen from here, but I am not interested right now, as I am looking for a bed to sleep in. Or something like that. After retreating out of the living room, I go upstairs and check the first door to find the bathroom with Huh? a cloud as a showerhead. I facehoof once again. I close the door and make my way to the next door. Listening at the door, I hear a calm and rhythmic breath what tells me that Rainbow already went to bed.I though she would be tougher I think, shrugging. I think the sofa is good enough. It takes a while to drift off to sleep, given that the clouds are new to me. But, it eventually works through their softness.

New Ponyvillian Desktop Adventures Written by: Camo Flash Edited by: Tyreese-le-Tyler43 and wtfboom88 Day 1: Familiar Faces Hi. My name is Calvin Mico. I'm a chat moderator on Bronystorm. That's a chatroom for bronies. A moderator, for those who don't know, is somebody who goes through and makes sure the comments stay within the rules, and ban hackers. On another note, I live in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia. One faithful night, while this was happening, something else decided to happen. Again, I'm Calvin Mico, and this is my story. It is a normal evening on Bronystorm, a chat room made especially for bronies, as one could guess by the site’s name. Like almost every session nowadays, my friends Genny, Stripey, Shady, and Lily, some various idle guests and I are left in the chat. Shady is silent, as usual, most of the time. Tonight, Lily posts cute selfmade pics of her own character and Stripey tells her how good she is. And me? I am too busy reading fan-fictions and writing, in another chat, while Skyping with a friend of mine with whom I play a certain game with. But, again, my game freezes and I get the dreaded popup message [Shadowworld2.exe has stopped working] "What the...?” I stare at my screen in disbelief. “My game crashed! Again! What in the fuck is wrong with it? Every, time, I, start, it… It runs perfectly fine, and, like 20 minutes later, BOOM! Crashes for no reason!" I yell. “Yeah. I know what you mean. I have the same problem.” Nobody, the friend I am Skyping with, says. “That’s it! I have had enough for today!" I almost yell, at no one in particular, and look back at Bronystorm to see if anyone wanted to talk to me. "Okay. I’mma play some ‘Tank: Revolution’ then." As if on cue, I get a message from Genny. G[Hey Camo what`s up bro?:D] C[Heyoo~ not much genny just rageing cause i can`t play a game^^.How about you?] G[Busy as always you know xD but i wanted to ask you something.] C[Yeah i remember xD what do you want to know?] G[2 minutes ago a new one joined into the chat and is permanently switching between Foal (guest), Subject (member), Royal Guard(moderator) and Princess(Owner) since he or she came. The strangest thing is: i dont know and cant contact that person and I already tried to talk to "it", but it seems that this one does not want to speak with me. Can you try it one more time?] I stare at the last message. C[Maybe its a hacker or something ill check it out k?^^] G[Please do^^] A little uncomfortable with the situation, I click on the newcomer. That’s going to be interesting. I have never had to deal with a hacker before. Hmm… No name, no number... And no... I begin to yell at the disturbing realization I make. “What the fuck? Where did all the buttons go?” “Hey, what are you yelling about?” Nobody asks. “Sorry but...Y’know the chat I am in every day, right?” “Yeah? And?” “The buttons of the menu that appear if you click someone are gone. Not just... through a bug or something.” "Well you are fucked!” he laughed "What did you want to do anyway?" "Nothing. Just talk to a hacker, or whatever. He/she seems to be one, maybe. It can be just a virus too. You never know." "Fail. Hacked menu! BWAHAHA..." he taunts, and evilly laughs out loud. I just mute him to look at the menu once more. There, I see that that all the buttons are gone but the private chat. I click it, and the screen goes green for a second. I ignore it for now. Must be the after effects of the game crash or something. C[Heyoo~] No answer. C[Are you a brony or pegasis?] Again, no answer. C[Come on talk to me!] My screen was filled by the hacker’s spammed message: [ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER! ELEMENTS GATHER!] C[Ehh...O K ?°~°] I see that someone talked to in the main chat. I forget the problem at hand to go look who it is. I don’t believe my eyes. Genny’s avatar is blinking, and somewhat moving, although it is not a .gif at all. Other than that, I can’t see any changes. Suddenly, I see my own avatar window empty. “What the fuck?” I get closer to the screen to look if I can see better. "What the fu-" I shout, as I feel something invisible cut me off and drag me into the screen. Suddenly, I go unconscious. Somehow. I hear muffled voices... "Look! He’s waking up!" A, somewhat high-pitched, voice shouts. Everything is blurry, so I can’t really see where I am but the ground feels soft, and I am covered with, what can only be, a blanket. So, upon these facts, I assume that I am in a bed. "Ow! My head." I rub my forehead, eyes closed. Just to find it hard to do so without… Feeling, my fingers? I open my eyes slowly "What?" I can see my arm now, just one thing is different. It becomes obvious why I can’t feel my fingers. "That`s not my arm. This is a leg or..." I turn it around. "...hoof?" "Wow, you must’ve hit your head pretty hard, huh?" I hear someone say from my left with a chuckle. I look in the direction of the speech just to see a cyan pony with a rainbow-coloured mane. My eyes go wide as I stare at her, very much to her confusion. "What?” she rubbed her cheek. “Do I have something on my face?" "Nope! But he seems to know you!" another voice sang from the other side. The same high-pitched voice as before. I turn my head again to see another, pink pony with a heliconia mane. "Huh?" is all I can manage to say, throwing my forelegs in the air out of confusion. "You’re funny!" she giggles. Suddenly, she let out a sharp gasp. Under her breath, she added: "I just realized that i have to -" "-throw me a party?" I finish. "Aw! You already know that? What a pity! Now it`s not a secret anymore!" she looks a bit sad as she says this. "How do you already know about Pinkie’s parties?" Rainbow asks. "The same way I know that you, are a lazy worker," I say with a grin, and pause for a beat. She looks a bit confused. And a bit offended. "...and a caring friend who’s loyalty is unmatched in the whole of Equestria?" She looks more confused but mixed with a smile. I remember to check on me again. I look at my hands. Or, what were my hands. Great! Hooves. And in orange, too. Same goes for my back. What the hell?! Okay. I should have seen this coming.” A golden ponytail. Accompanied by a pair of wings, the same colour, with golden tip. Worried, I feel for my head. Okay. Large, pointy ears… and a short snout. I almost wonder if a short snout is bad. "Oops! Almost forgot!" Rainbow remembers, pointing to a nightstand. "This is the only thing you had with you when we found you." I look back at the nightstand she points to, and see a hat. Partly coloured in camouflage. I pick it up and adjust it on my head. Following this, I look for a mirror, find one, and take a good look at myself. "Okay. First off: What is your name? Second off, where do you come from?" Pinkie asks, eerily. "..seems like I am…” I mumble into the mirror, touching my face gently with my newly found hooves, exploring my new features. I shake myself back to reality. “I mean, my name is ‘Camo Flash’..." "Camo Flash? What kind of name is that?" Rainbow laughs. "Better be quiet, Rainbow Dash!" I growl, aggravated. Not even five minutes in a new world, still in shock, and Rainbow Dash is taunting me. "How do you know my name? I never introduced myself!" she points at me, almost scared. "I know you better than you might think!” I argue. “And, on that note, my name is at least 20% cooler than yours." "Pff!” she scoffed. “As if." "Oh. So you mean a flash is lame, but dashing is cool? Or what?" she is silent now, trying to think of a retort. "Where are you from?" Pinkie yells, interrupting us both. She looks really aggravated herself, due to her question not getting answered. "Not from here," I sing, taunting their ignorance. "Well, DUH!” she grabs me by the shoulders and begins to talk very fast. “We figured that much since I don`t know you and I know everypony in Ponyville ‘cause everypony in Ponyville or everypony in general is my friend and if you aren’t it means…” Deep breath. “…you are not from here by the way are we friends now?" She ends with a big smile, and a deep sigh. "Right, sure!" She beams with a smile so wide, it makes me smile as well. "Whoa. Wait a second, you understood that?" Rainbow asks, in awe. "Well, yeah… I am used to it," I shrug. Rainbow shakes her head. "Used to Pinkie? Nice try, I’m not fully used to her, and I’ve known her way longer than you have," she points out. I shrug again. "Whatever. Are we going to do something fun? Or do you want to keep asking me questions all day long? I want to try these babies out!" I spread my wings and point to them as I walk out of the white room. "Try them out? You’re a Pegasus. You should’ve flown at least once in your life!" she yells, obviously annoyed. "Believe it or not, this is my first time!" I disagree. She looks at me in shock, stopping right beside the counter Pinkie hopping past her, humming the Parasite Polka. "You’re a flight-virgin? I didn`t think there were any," she laughs. "I said ‘It’s my first time’, not that I am bad at it!" I yell back with a grin and walk out of the hospital completely. That’s what it is, a hospital. Rainbow chases after me. "Pff! The first time means that you will be bad!" she laughs out loud, now close behind me. "Yeah? Okay. I bet with you that i will be better than ‘bad’ at my first flight. If I fail? You...” I thought of something I could give her. “I… hmm… get my cap ...or anything you want. I don’t know I don’t have anything else right now." "Yeah? And what do you want from me if you are better than expected? Although I highly doubt it?" she asks. "Hmm... You know, I could use some place to stay. How about I keep you company ‘til i get my own cloud house?" I bargain. Her smugness wavers and she looks a bit unsure for a second, but regains confidence immediately. "Sure! Why not? You can’t be that good," she says and sits down on the ground. "Okay, deal! Just let me get… warmed up." I agree, stretching myself. I give my wings a few test flaps to get the hang of it. Wow! That`s pretty easy. I don’t know what should be so difficult about it! "Are you ready?" Rainbow asks hovering a bit above the ground with a smirk. "I am ready!" I imitate her voice. "Okay, go!" she makes a gunshot noise, and Pinkie waves a checkered flag. I give my wings one very strong flap, lifting up from the ground higher than I expected and going faster than I want to be going. "Whoa!" I scream. Okay, you can do this, just focus! I barely avoid crashing into a roof “I said focus, damnit!” I shout aloud. I feel Rainbows eyes on me, expecting me to fall down any second, crashing into something. But, as hoped, I fly like I’ve been doing it my whole life! Almost, if not better, than she had done years after her first flight. She goes wide eyed as she realizes this and facehoofs. "Wow look, Dashie! He’s about as good as you!" Pinkie says in awe. I fly past her with a smug grin plastered on my face in a relaxing pose. "I’d say i just won this bet, don’t you think?" I laugh as I come to a stop. Pinkie pulls out a chalkboard and holds it up with 9/10 written on it. "Why just 9?" "You can’t do a Sonic Rainboom!" she protested. "Do I look like I could do a rainbow with this mane?" I sputter and lift my cap to point at my mane. “Maybe a Sonic Blondeboom.” "Oopsie! You’re right!” she correct. She thought about my second statement. “But you could try it!" "Maybe another time." I turn around to Rainbow, who is still in facehoof mode. "Hey roommate!" She sighs. "Yeah?" "Can you show me the way home now?" I smile innocently. "Yeeeaaah, I just have to go see Twilight, one of my friends… you know," she excuses. "Twilight, huh? Are you going to ask her for another Daring Doo book?" I ask with a smirk "Egghead?" She is about to dash right into my face as I say "Nah, just kidding." "You better be," she growls and mumbles something about our bet. I ignore it for now because I think it is too funny to annoy her with knowledge I got from the show. The best thing? I am just getting started. I turn around to face Pinkie again to say my goodbye for now, but find her vanished. I just write it off as Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie.
The LibraryNew Ponyvillian Desktop Adventures Written by: Camo Flash Edited by: Tyreese-le-Tyler43 and wtfboom88 The Library So we make our way through Ponyville, flying past the town hall and Sugarcube Corner. The citizens of town, almost like in every cliché story, follow their daily business and go shopping on the market, chatting on the way. Some arguing about the price of the various things for sale, and others are just relaxing at a café or eating outside a restaurant. All in all very normal for a village full of colourful ponies, I guess. I look around more and find some familiar faces like Berry Punch cleaning her bars windows, Aloe waiting in front of the spa, for some reason, and Derpy chatting with Colgate about something. After a short flight I can see the library and fly ahead, very much to Rainbow’s surprise. "Hey! You know I’m the one who wants to go see Twilight, right?" she pants. I nod. "Yeah. I’m just saving us some time to get there!" I yell after. Upon this, I land in front of the tree house library and knock, all before Rainbow can even land. "How did you know that this is Twilight’s library?" she asked as she stumbled to a stop, cursing about useless training. "The better question is: How did I know that this tree is supposed to even be a library?" I say and grin at her. She, in return, continues looks unsure of how to counter. “There’s a lot you don’t know about me, and a lot I know about you guys.” "GIMME A SECOND!" A young boy’s voice shouts out, breaking the silence, and the sounds of footsteps are getting closer. The door opens and a little purple dragon with green spikes and a cream coloured belly opens the door. "Yeah? Rainbow Dash!” he greets. He stares at me for a moment. “And ...who is that?" "Hello, Spike." I state simply before Rainbow can even answer and step past him to enter. "Hey! Did I say my name just now? Because I don’t remember telling you that." the dragon asks Rainbow behind my back, as she enters as well, shaking her head. "That’s Camo Flash. At least, he said that that’s his name. Spike? Do you know where Twilight is? I gotta ask her about the… you know, new book?" she whispers the third part watching me. I mouth the words “Oh, I knew it!” and she just glares at me. "Okay…” he gives me a look. “TWILIGHT? RAINBOW DASH IS HERE WITH A NEW PEGASUS!" the dragon shouts. "Coming!" A voice echoes back from the first floor. The library is big. Really big. Like, a mammoth tree, but hollow on the inside. Including the space for hundreds of books in multiple floors. I’d say almost 20 feet high! I randomly grab a book out of the shelf and read the front page "Equestrian Myths and Legends: Tales of Gods and Monstrosities". I realize now how hard it is to turn a page with these damn hooves. "Please be careful with that book! It’s over 400 years old!" I hear a voice behind me and see the book surrounded by a purple aura and floating back into the shelf. "Let me guess...Twilight Sparkle, prized student of the sun god Princess Celestia, bearer of the Element of Magic… and sister of Shining Armor, head of the protection agency, The Royal Guard?" Upon turning around, I see a very surprised Twilight and a dumbstruck Rainbow Dash looking at me while Spike doesn’t even seem to have listened to what I said and is making his way into the kitchen. "E-everything is correct, yes… and you are...?" she stutters "Just new here, believe it or not. Name’s Camo Flash. It’s an honor to speak with the most talented magician in all of Equestria." I say and bow slightly, this being hard with four legs. She blushes a bit. "Oh, no… I-I mean, yes, thank you, but no. I am not the most powerful magician in all of Equestria...” “Then who is? Trixie?” I taunt. She shakes her head. “The Princesses are much more powerful than I am," she decides. "But you are the Element of Magic. Ri-i-ight?" I laugh. "Why yes!" she perked up. "And you aren’t an alicorn, like Celestia or Luna. Or Cadence…" "Can I get my book now?" Rainbow almost whines in annoyance. She clamps her mouth shut, and I chuckle. Twilight shakes herself out of her trance. She was staring at me weird. Bella to Edward style weird. I shake the thought from my mind. "Oh yes, sorry Rainbow Dash. I will get it right away!" Twilight remembers and pulls out some books out of the shelf. Obviously oblivious to the books last location. "You know who Twilight is and didn’t say a word?" Rainbow whispers to me. "Obvious, isn`t it? I just thought it would be fun to see your reaction...” I chuckle. “Again." She just gives me a deadpan look and resumes watching Twilight while whispering again. "What do you also know about Equestria?" she asked. "Who knows?" I shrug. "Maybe everything. Maybe nothing. Depends." "Depends on what?" she hissed. "On old people. But in this context, it depends on how good my memories are." "So you have been here before?" she shows some excitement. "Hypothetically. I’ve seen the show, and read a lot." "Wh-what are you talking about?" she switches from excitement to worry. "Don’t think about it. It`s just nonsense." She just eyes me again but looks at Twilights chaos once more. "FINALLY!" Twilight shouts levitating the book out of the pile of books in the direction of Rainbow who grabs it and puts it away into her saddlebag. She gave me a quick “You saw nothing” and started for the door. "Wow. Discord would be proud!" I exclaim looking at the chaos what was the ground 5 minutes ago. "What was that?" Twilight asks more for confirmation than for mishearing. Rainbow freezes in the door. "Nothing, Giles,” I brushed off. “I just wonder how long it will take to get this mess cleaned up!" "Oh yes… This will take a while. But for that, I have my number one assistant!" "Aw, MAN!" comes out of the kitchen. “I know that feel, bro,” I comfort. Spike just looked at me through the doorway. "Okay! I guess you got what you wanted?" I ask Rainbow. "Yeah. We can go, now, just let me talk with Twilight about the Grand Galloping Gala next week," she rolls her eyes "Whoa! Wait a sec, the GGG?" "Yes?" she confirms. "First time?" I ask, worried. "Yes?! How can you tell?" she gives me another look. Oh good god, the first time? "Awesome!" I fake happyness. "Dude. You are getting weirder by the second," she nudges me out the door. "Yeah I heard that the first few times. Okay, I’ll leave you two alone for a bit, I will fly and do some sightseeing, if you don`t mind" Rainbow wants to say something, but I cut her off "Take your time." I say and smirk. Before she can say another word, I fly out of the door, shutting it with my tailwind. "Okay, I said that I will do some sightseeing. But what sights do we have to see here?" I ask myself. I facehoof as I realize that: “I kinda just saw one from the inside. Okay, then, I’m gonna see all places from the show!” I shout. “...Who am i even talking to?" First destination: Sugarcube Corner.
SweetNew Ponyvillian Desktop Adventures Written by Camo Flash [size=8]Edited by Tyreese-le-Tyler43 and wtfboom88[/size] Sweet I land and take a closer look at the structure of the building. "Sweet! Literally!" I say, out loud, getting a couple of strange looks from passerby’s. Upon entering the gingerbread house, I am assaulted by the smell of almost too sweet treats. I look around to find that I am the only one in here. Strange I look back to the sign that says, on the side that I can see, "closed". So it should say "open" on the other. “Maybe not the time for anyone to buy treats?” I look back in the direction of the counter and look at the cupcakes behind the sneeze guard and, shaking memories of the fanfiction, find myself pretty hungry just by the looks of the food. "Oh! It's you again!" a voice yells. I jump a little as I see Pinkie appear behind the counter out of nowhere. "Pinkie!” I scold, panting. “You almost gave me a heart attack!" "Oh, come on! I didn’t even want to scare you," she protested, raising an eyebrow. "I know, but... okay, you know what? It`s okay. I should have seen it coming; being in the bakery, you being Pinkie and all..." "Okay, now... Would you like to have something? A cupcake maybe? We have all sorts of treats and sweets, different frosting, with caramel, with chocolate ships, covered in it or both. We got white chocolate and brown, filled with marmalade or cream. We have muffins, brownies, cookies-" I suck up some drool protruding from my mouth. She counts the treats as she dashes from one corner to the other collecting the sweets and placing it on the counter creating a candy mountain. "Pinkie!” I shout, but she’s still going on, something about sprinkles. “Pinkie!” I try again, but she’s still talking about croissants. “PINKIE!" I scream, finally grabbing her attention after her rant on marzipan. "Yes?" she stops. I laugh condescendingly. "You know I have no bits to buy these?" I point out. She giggles and says. "Duh, silly! I want to give you one of these for free." "...Marry me?" I whisper sarcastically as I turn to the mountain of pastries. “I don’t know. My parents would have to come down to visit, and I’d have to by a dress, and it’s all so fast, we met this morning! I’m not sure I’m ready to take it to that level…” she looks as if doing math. “I wasn’t being serious,” I correct. She looks relieved. "Oh. So what will it be?" she asks me with a big smile. Looking at the hill of sugar in front of me, I, without checking the pile, decide quickly what I want to have. A Mico family favorite! "Do you have tree cakes?" I ask. She raises her eyebrow again. "What now?" she sputters. "You know, the cake that is coated with chocolate from the outside, and looks like a tree, and has the age rings of a tree from the inside if you slice it?" I make a diagram in the air with my wing. She keeps silently staring at me. "You don`t have it?" I ask with a sheepish smile. She then jumps what seems to be like light speed in front of me and embraces me in a very tight, I-can-not-breath, Pinkie style bear hug, lifting me slightly, even. I begin to choke "Urgh!" "Oh thank you thank you THANK YOU! I haven`t had such a good idea in a long time and finally I have something I can give Fluttershy if she wants something special! OOOH this is going to be great and delicious-"" "Pinkie!" I gasp out of breath. "Oh. Heh, heh, sorry! Your order. I’m on it! Right away!" she lets me free and disappears into the kitchen. I use the time to collect myself and wait in silence, while I think I can hear music coming out of the kitchen and a lot of unexplainable construction noises. She comes back from the kitchen, her cheeks and forehead covered in flour. "Okay, done! You can come pick it up in 3 hours, when it is cooled down and the chocolate coating is dry!" she smiles. "Perfect! I will come back right about then. If that’s okay!" I say nervously. "Of course! I’m here all day long... I mean, as long as i am not with the other girls or singing or preparing a p-" she stops midsentence, seemingly remembering something. "-arty... Hey why don’t you just go out and look around the village some more, and I deliver the cake to you, okay?" "..Okay, I guess!" I say and shrug, leaving the store. Back to sightseeing, I guess. "Let’s see… I saw the library, ordered a cake at Sugarcube Corner, and will be at Rainbow’s place later. Hmm… I could go to the Carousel Boutique, but I think even if Rarity is at home she is busy and I don’t want to distract her from her work. I could always go to Fluttershy’s cottage… No, she wouldn’t even bring herself to answer the door because of her shyness if i happened to knock." I rub my chin with a hoof. "Well! Leaves only one place to go." I say, flying towards the biggest apple tree orchard I have ever seen. Flying across every acre the whole farm ground takes me almost 15 minutes at high speeds. But, while I do, I spot a little campfire almost at the end of the apple orchard, barely touching the Everfree Forest. I had no idea the two were so close! “Let’s take a look who’s camping out there!” I decide aloud. I circle around the campfire just to see someone sitting near it, but from my distance I can only see that it has to be an orange pony with a darker orange mane. "Hey! Do you need help?" I shout from above. The pony jumps and looks around for the origin of the voice. "Hello?" he shouts. "Up here!" I call. He looks up. "Camo?" "Huh?" I squint my eyes to see who just called my name. "Genny?" "Camo! Oh thank Celestia! Hey, I thought i would die alone in this forest! I mean… until I would have eaten all apples around here,” Genny groans and puts an idle hoof on his stomach. I land on the ground next to him and can now clearly see his horn and sunglasses along with his highlighted mane. "Oh man! You are your OC, too?" I laugh. He nods "Yeah! I guess you are too! That’s just awesome!" he throws his forelegs around my neck. "Can you use that thing too?" I say, pointing a hoof at his horn. "Huh? Oh, I still haven`t tried!" he smiles sheepishly and rubs his horn. I smirk. "Just get some apples from these trees or something!" I prod. He gives in. "Okay…" He concentrates on something, and all of a sudden all apples around us glow in a deep orange floating around us. "Wow! You are pretty good!" I chuckle "I don’t play World of Warcraft. Yeah, and it didn’t take as long as expected. I see you already can fly like a pro! Or should I say… like a Rainbow?" he jokes. I slug him in the arm for the bad pun. "Ha, ha. Apropo, Rainbow. Guess who were there when I woke up in hospital?" Genny drops all apples. "No way! Rainbow Dash?" he stares in awe. “The Rainbow Dash?” "Eeyup! And Pinkie Pie!" I announce with pride. "Aw, MAN! And to think I’ve been alone the whole damn day," he shouts with a pout. I smirk a little. "You don`t even know the best thing, yet. She lost a bet to moi, and now I can stay at her place!” I boasted, before adding: “For the time being." "You have got to be kidding me!" he began to walk in circles. He seems to be very jealous right now and I decide to show him the way out. "Hey? Have you had enough fun in here, or do you want to stay a little longer?" i ask with a grin. "No, no, no! I want out of here, ASAP!" he widens his eyes. “Let’s haul ass!” "Okay. Just follow in the direction I fly!" I take off and hover in the air slowly moving forward. It is already dusk, so I speed up a little. Always checking on Genny on the ground. The night has already come as we exit the apple orchard just to find Sweet Apple Acres right in front of us. "Hmm, should we knock on the door? I mean, there is still light in there," I ask Genny, who seems to be very happy to see open ground instead of apple trees upon apple trees. "Huh?” he seemingly snaps out of a trance “Oh, right. We don’t know where to go otherwise." Suddenly the back door opens and we hear a very familiar voice shouting.
Open HouseNew Ponyvillian Desktop Adventures Written by Camo Flash [size=8]Edited by Tyreese-le-Tyler43 and wtfboom88[/size] Open House "Who in tarnation is out there ‘n’ what are y’all doing here ‘round this time?" Applejack, an orange mare with a brown Stetson hat on her head and blond mane asks. "Oh, we just came out of the apple orchard, and-" I begin. Applejack is fuming. "What did ya do there?” she continues. “Y’all aren’t allowed t’ go in there." "Hello-oh! I was lost in there almost all day?" Genny draws the attention to himself, rolling his eyes and flailing his hooves. "An’ how did ye get in there?" she asks. "Hell! If I knew that I could actually give you a proper answer!" he laughed. Applejack stares at Genny for what seems like an eternity and then looks at me. "What about you?" she points. "M-me? Oh, I just came to look at the apple trees… but ended up helped him-" i point at Genny "- to get out of it. True story." She eyes us both a last time before nodding and replacing her grim face with a warm welcoming one. "Okay, I believe ya. Seems t’ be the truth. But, still. Don’t y’all have t’ be at home by now?" she asks. "That’s the point !Rainbow promised I could stay at her place! For, a while, and Genny here has no place to stay. We are kind of… new here." She seems to be a little embarrassed and scratches the back of her head. "Shoot! If Ah‘d known that, Ah wouldn't have thought so bad of ya. Ah guess you can stay fer the night,” she apologizes. Pointing at me, she adds. “But, what about you? Do y’all even know where Rainbow’s house is?" "Eenope,” I laugh. “She wanted to guide me there but I guess the little talk with Twilight is already over and she is at home." "The way is really easy! Just fly ta... do y’all know where the library is?" "Yes!" I exclaim. "Great! Just 2 miles east from there!” she points northwest. “Ya can`t miss it, it is very big." "Thanks!" I turn around to Genny "I guess I see you tomorrow, then?" "Of course!" we do a hoofbump and separate. "Okay, now. Genny, was it? Mah name is Applejack. Wanna come in? We’re just havin’ dinner. Care to join us?" Applejack asks. "Oh! I would love to, and it’s technically General, but you can call me Genny, if you want!” Genny explains. He turns to me. “Bye, Camo! See you tomorrow." "Bye!" I yell behind. I wave them goodbye and take off once again, flying back into the now empty town center where the library is. “The lights are out. Is it really that late?” I ask myself flying in the direction Applejack told me to, and, yes: A really, really big cloud is coming closer. I fly higher and, indeed, the house is almost the size of a little castle "He-he. Big ego, big house," I grin and land in front of the door. Nice feeling! Those clouds are fluffy as hell Knocking on the door wouldn’t have made much sense, seeing as it is made out of clouds. So, hastily, I enter the house without any warning. I am now in a long floor with 3 doors and stairs to the next level. Why stairs? She could just fly to the next floor. Shaking my head, I try the first door to my right, finding myself in the living room. A large sofa, some pictures of Rainbow being successful, a shelf full of trophies and badges, all 1st place, a carpet, As if the clouds wouldn`t be fluffy enough. and a table are surrounding me, plus chairs. All of these things made out of clouds. I can see the kitchen from here, but I am not interested right now, as I am looking for a bed to sleep in. Or something like that. After retreating out of the living room, I go upstairs and check the first door to find the bathroom with Huh? a cloud as a showerhead. I facehoof once again. I close the door and make my way to the next door. Listening at the door, I hear a calm and rhythmic breath what tells me that Rainbow already went to bed.I though she would be tougher I think, shrugging. I think the sofa is good enough. It takes a while to drift off to sleep, given that the clouds are new to me. But, it eventually works through their softness.
