Chapter 5 - Destiny's Call

Well I was right about one thing. Pinkie Pie did throw a party. If you know anything about me, you know that I love being in the spotlight. The party was a blast. I should have expected it but hot sauce cupcakes were on the menu. I reluctantly took one to be polite.

“Come on try it! They’re good!” Pinkie said. Now? I thought. “Yes now! It would be a little weird if you were just going to hold it for the rest of your life. Eat it!” She demanded. I should have expected this from Pinkie Pie, seeing into my thoughts better than any fortune teller. I took a bite, and surprisingly it wasn’t half bad. The mixture of sweet and spicy was perfect. I just hoped I wasn’t eating anypony. “Don’t worry. I’m not insane like they show me on Cupcakes PMV.”

“How did you- I stopped mid-sentence. I already knew the answer to that question. Could Pinkie Pie break into the world of reality anymore?

“Oh I could. But then I would have to speak to the writer and that only happens if he lets me.” Alright Pinkie Pie enough breaking into reality. “Fine” She reluctantly said.  Now back to the story. “It’s awesome to have a new face in Ponyville. The last time we had somepony new come to town, it was Twilight.” Pinkie explained.

“Wow you really don’t get a lot of new ponies around here do you.” I said

“Yeah. To our standards, Twilight is still new to town.” She said. Speaking of Twilight, where was she? I know she came in with us. Where did she go? “Isn’t she over there?” Pinkie asked once again breaking into my thoughts. She was right though. Twilight was sitting outside all alone reading what looked to be a very old book. What was she doing? I had to find out. I politely excused myself from Pinkie Pie and went over to Twilight.

“Hey there’s a good party going on in there. Why don’t you join us?” I asked. She shook her head.

“As a matter of fact, I need to talk to you.” She said. “It’s about you’re claim of being from another world. I believe you.” For some odd reason I knew she would say this. “Your travel to this world was not an accident. It was destiny.” She said. I was confused, and taken aback.

“My destiny? What destiny?” I asked.

“Well long ago there- But before she could finish, a large fireball exploded behind us. We had no idea what was going on but our only instinct was to run. But at the same time I couldn’t leave my friends to die in what was now a burning building. I ran towards the now blazing Sugar Cube Corner. “We’ve got to get away from this place!” She shouted.

“I can’t just leave Rainbow, Pinkie and Applejack to die!” I shouted back. The heat in the building was tremendous! Sweat instantly began pouring off of my face. I searched and searched but found no one. Then suddenly I heard a voice.

“Help! We’re buried! We can’t breathe!” It called. I ran towards the voice hoping that my friends were with them. I found a large pile of rubble in front of what appeared to be a door. I scrambled to move the rubble away but it was no use there was too much. I looked for a way to get to them and saw that the wall next to the door was weakened by the fire. I kicked it with all of my strength and busted a hole in the wall. I looked inside to see Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and a large group of scared ponies. I turned to Applejack.

“Applejack, help me buck down this wall” I demanded. After some violent kicking the wall collapsed and one at a time everypony made it out. We made it out just in time for just after we exited, the whole building collapsed. I reunited with Twilight and began running. I didn’t know why we were running or to where but we just kept running. Suddenly more fireballs exploded and I realized that we were being attacked. We ran through the fire scorched streets as fast as we could. I knew I could go faster if I flew, but Twilight warned me that it wasn’t safe. We meet up with Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Spike. Fluttershy was apparently at the party the whole time but was too shy to introduce herself.

“Jared, follow me. The rest of you, evacuate everypony out of Ponyville.” Twilight commanded. “I’m afraid the prophecy has occurred sooner than expected.” Prophecy?!? I was so confused. We split up again and hurried to… somewhere.
