So yeah, we had just freakin’ met Rainbow Dash! I gawked at her like an idiot, until I saw the grey pegasus. When I spotted him, my blood ran cold and I just froze on the spot. I knew who he was, but he shouldn’t exist. He was just a figment of my imagination (but then again I’m saying this while in a world of ponies that was supposed to be just a TV show...).
“Sorry about that,” he said. “Rainbow Dash here still hasn’t gotten the hang of that trick.” He glided to the ground and landed next to Tyler.
“My name’s Storm Shadow.” DOH! There goes my rational thoughts. I began to suspect that I had actually created him. There’s no way in hell that this was coincidental. I write a story with a main character by the name of Storm Shadow and he just happens to be real? Bullshit.
“I’m Nightwish,” said Tyler.
“I’m Paradox,” I said numbly.
“You okay?” asked Storm Shadow. “You sound like you’re going to be sick.”
“I’m fine,” I replied, quickly returning to normal. He smiled apologetically before flying off with Rainbow Dash.
“That wouldn’t happen to be the Storm Shadow from 'The Mysterious Newcomer,' would it?” asked Tyler. My lack of words told him it was. Then my stomach suddenly growled, reminding me of the all important fact that PONIES DON’T EAT MEAT!
“Why did I have to get sent to Equestria when I was supposed to have a chicken sandwich for lunch today...” I complained.
“I don’t know,” Tyler replied. “Why did I have to get sent here when all I wanted to do was bug you?”
“Shut up,” I said, annoyed at my growling stomach. Considering we were in sweet apple acres, I decided to just grab a few apples. Using my magic, (it was actually a lot easier to use magic than I thought it would be.) I grabbed a few apples and gave some to Tyler. On the first taste, the thoughts of a chicken sandwich were erased from existence, it was that good.
“How come apples on Earth taste like shit compared to these?” Tyler asked jokingly.
“Probably because this place isn’t polluted to hell,” I replied, taking a bite out of my second apple. Then, just as I wish finishing my fourth apple, I heard a twig snap behind me. I whipped my head around instinctively, and saw Applejack walking towards us.
“Quick, hide the apples,” I hissed. Tyler tossed his apples into the trees behind him and started whistling.
“Howdy there!” said Applejack as she walked up. I had to use all my willpower to keep myself from tackling her in a huge hug.
“Hey,” said Tyler in response.
“Ya’ll don’t look like you’re from ‘round here,” she said.
“You have no idea,” I muttered.
“Ah’m Applejack,” she said. “Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres.”
“I’m Nightwish and this is Paradox,” said Tyler.
“Nice to meet you fellas and Ah hope you have a good time here in Ponyville,” she said with a smile before she walked away. I heard thuds a moment later and I guessed she was kicking the trees to get the apples down.
“Lets get out of here before she realizes we ate some of her apples,” said Tyler. I nodded in agreement and we walked out of Sweet Apple Acres.
“Where to next?” I asked absently.
“How about we go see Twilight?” Tyler suggested.
“Sure, lets go.” We walked towards the library until we stood directly at the front door. I knocked a couple times and waited for a response.
“Just a moment!” called a familiar voice from inside. A moment later, the door opened to reveal Twilight standing there with Spike just behind her.
“Hey there,” I said, trying not to squee and hug her. “We’re new in town.” I was about to say something else when Tyler flashed past me and hugged Twilight.
So much for acting normal, I thought.
“Could you let go of me please?” she asked Tyler politely.
"I don’t want to,” he stated flatly. “You’re too adorkable!” He grinned and hugged her tighter.
“Tyler if you hug her any tighter you’re going to break her,” I said, trying not to laugh. He frowned, but let go.
“What was that about?” she asked.
“You wouldn’t believe us if we told you,” I said.
“Try me,” she replied with a rather unconvinced look.
