My little Pony: Uncommon Connection II

by Spitfire16


Familiar strangers

The clouds above a local city began to strangely spread apart revealing a spiral black hole like phenomenon. None of the ponies could see this strange occurrence but they were able to see the clouds above them moving in strange ways. André was still falling into the coldness of his strange dark dream.

"…What's happening to me?" André asked himself as he continued falling, "It feels like I'm forgetting something really…really important."

"That voice. I know that voice." Twilight's voice, itself, spoke out from nowhere.

"T-Twi-Twilight?" he called out to the voice.

"You know my name? Who are you…?"

"My name is-"

"André?" she asked

"Yeah..." he was incredibly surprised at her guess, "How could you have possibly known that?"

"Yes. I know you!" she said anxiously, "You're the one Rainbow Dash likes to hang out with."

"Rainbow Dash?" he questioned her voice, "But…we've never met. You're…not real."

Hearing his unintentional harsh words put Twilight's voice in a temporary silence, "Not…real?" she softly repeated, "How could you say something like that…?"

"I-I'm sorry" he sincerely apologized, even he didn't know he would say something so harsh, "but…I just don't know what's going on."

"As much as my mind is telling me I don't have the slightest idea as to who you are…my heart is telling me 'it's so good to hear your voice again…' I don't know either." she said in confusion.

André felt the air against his body and his clothes waving in the wind. He turned around only to see that he was falling out of the sky and plummeting down to a city below, "…HUH? WHOA WHAT GIVES!?"

"Yo, Dré!" Babe called out beside him.

André looked over and saw him falling as well, "Babe! What the heck is going on!?"

"We're falling to our deaths!" he yelled out trying to make himself clear over the sound of the loud wind.

André's eyes shoot open wider than they already were, "IS THIS REAL!?"

"I don't know…" Babe replied to him, "if we're not alive once we hit the ground, yeah, we should know it's real!"

"I'M NOT READY TO DIE YET!" André cried out helplessly.

Babe didn't really seem bothered by his impending doom, his mind was occupied with thought, "This all seems quite familiar somehow…! I just can't put my finger on it!"

The two continued plummeting to the ground. The ponies below pointed the two out and were horrified at their impending doom. Andre nearly in tears but Babe couldn't shake the serious case of déjà vu. Out of the blue André was caught by a white coated Pegasus who had a light blue colored mane. Her tail was the same color as her mane but with a purple strip.

"I stopped…falling?" André asked himself.

Babe saw the Pegasus who helped André, "WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP ME!?" he yelled at her.

André reached his hand out to him, "Babe!" there was nothing he could do other than watch his friend fall.

Babe turned around and watched as the city below got closer and closer, "Looks like I'm dying alone. Hm…oh well, it's just a dream, right?" he asked himself...hoping with all his might he was right.

The many ponies gasped as he inched closer to the ground. Just before he hit the concrete he was outlined in a yellow and gray aura.

"What the heck? This is...strange..." referring to the outline that somehow saved his life.

The outlining slowly brought him to his feet. All the ponies in the area were all staring at him in awe. They had NEVER seen anything like him before.

André landed beside Babe but nearly lost his balance upon touching the ground, "Whoa!" he looked up at the sky, "Did she really have to let me go from that height?"

"Where, are we?" Babe asked.

The first thing André noticed was the inhabitants of the city, "My little Pony Ponies?" he couldn't believe his own eyes.

Babe chuckled, "This is some strange dream I'm having."

"You?" André questioned him, "This is my dream."

Babe looked at André as if he was just disrespected, "This is MY dream." he clarified, "You can't talk to me that way."

"You're not making any sense." André sighed at him, "You know, you're more stubborn than non-dream world Babe."

"And you're more annoying than non-dream world André."

The ponies continued staring at the bickering two. André and Babe took notice to their hard stares, both sure they're just dreaming.

"Where are we?" André asked, "We're certainly not in Ponyville. I would've thought I'd dream I landed in Ponyville."

"MY dream." Babe corrected.

"Shut up!"

Babe punched André's shoulder, the punch made André grunt in pain.

"Stop being a girl," Babe said putting his hands in his pocket, "it's a dream, that didn't hurt."

André punched Babe back, "Oh yeah??"

"AHH! What'd you do that fo-wait…that was pain…"

André rolled his eyes, "Ya think?" he asked sarcastically.

"How can we feel pain in dreams?"

André shrugged his shoulders, he was just as lost as Babe.

"Okay, that's enough!" A female pony spoke up from the crowd. The surrounding ponies, as well as André and Babe, turned to the voice. A white coated unicorn stepped forward. Her mane consisted of a combination between yellowish orange, gray and a little small strip of white. Her eyes were a deep blue, "Who are you two? Why have you come here?"

André backed his head, "Nice introduction..."

"Your coat and mane are the same color as the outlining that stopped me from falling." Babe noted, "Are you the one who saved me?"

"I may have had something to do with it." she was a bit defensive. She wasn't acting too friendly toward the two upon seeing them.

"Uh, ok?" Babe was taken a back by her actions, "Thanks. My name is Babe. This here is my friend, André."

"Hi." André raised his hand and waved.

The Unicorn raised an eyebrow, " Babe and…André? Those are strange names."

"Strange?" André asked with a forced smile, he didn't know how else to respond to her.

Babe turned his head to his friend, "Hey, Dré, wasn't there a Pegasus who saved you?"

The Pegasus was sitting lazily on a cloud above the city. Unlike the rest of the ponies she seemed rather uninterested in the two.

"You must be talking about Aerial." the Unicorn answered.

"Aerial?" Asked André.

André and Babe looked around in the sky to find her. It didn't take long for them to get a glimpse of her, they were kinda surprised she was so…carefree about them arriving.

"Why won't she come down?" André asked while looking up at her on the cloud.

"That's just who she is. She's not the easiest pony to get along with."

The surrounding Ponies were still at a loss of words at André and Babe's arrival, the only thing the two got from them was stares, "Why have you come here?" a Pony finally asked.

André scratched his head at the question, "Well, you see…this is just a dream and all so we sort of just popped up here."

"What are you talking about?" the Unicorn asked.

"Yeah." André continued, "I mean, you guys are cartoon characters and pretty darn popular where we come from."

The phrase cartoon character was a bit random for all the Ponies who heard, the Unicorn remained suspicious of the two, "This is in no way a dream nor are we cartoons, we're Ponies." she clarified, "I'm glad Aerial and I have saved you, you two are mentally ill and need to be treated right away."

The two Humans looked at each other in uncertainty.

"What are you guys anyway?"

"Human." Babe answered.

The Unicorn tapped her chin, " Human? Never heard of anything like that before, are Humans always delirious?"

Babe pulled André back to talk in private, "…Dré, I think…I think she's right."

André nodded, "It is kinda weird. We did feel pain and all, wouldn't that usually wake us up?"

"Yeah… so…w-we're actually in Equestria!" Babe exclaimed in excitement, yet still keeping his voice down, "Why don't we just shut up, not ask questions and seriously get the chance to enjoy ourselves!"

"I can't wait to pick out Derpy." André nearly squealed.

"What are you two talking about?" the Unicorn asked, finding their private talk even more suspicious.

André looked back at her, "Oh! Nothing, sorry about that uh…"

"Neon."

Neither of the boys said anything, they didn't know what she was talking about.

"My name, its Neon."

André crossed his arms, "And our names are weird?" he muttered.

Babe gently elbowed André's arm, "It's nice to meet you. And it's good to meet all of you, we don't mean you ANY harm, we're cool!"

All the Ponies in the area all put on smiles and were talking in amusement. The Ponies all warmly welcomed the two to their city. Things were off to a smooth start for the two.

André smiled, "Nice crowd."

"As expected." Babe replied.

"So, where are you from?" Neon asked.

"We're from Ear-"

André held his hand up to Babe's ear before he answered her question, "Maybe it's best we don't tell them too much about the real world, y'know? It could disturb the balance of the natural order of this place or something. Let's not mention that they're from a show or that they're cartoons or anything like that. Assuming everything that's happening now is real and all."

Babe agreed and nodded.

There whispering started to become a habit in Neon's eyes, "Do you two always whisper like this?"

André looked at her, "We weren't whispering." he claimed.

"You were." she replied.

"We weren't." André countered.

"You WERE." she said sternly.

"We weren't." André continued lying.

"You weren't." she switched.

"We were." Neon shook her head at André, he just caught onto what he said, "Wait..."

Neon and Babe started laughing after André fell for the Bugs Bunny technique, even he found the outcome funny after falling for one of the most basic trick in the book.

"I like you Neon," Babe cheerfully said to her, "you're really cool but could you tell us where we are?"

"You're in Fillydelphia." she answered with a smile, "The city of Ponely love."

Babe pounded his palm with his fist, understanding why the scenery wasn't familiar to him, "I guess that explains it. I would like to visit Ponyville."

"You surprise me..." she said with an intrigued look, "You show up out of the blue and you know about Ponyville?"

Babe nearly found himself in a corner, "…That's because we've heard so much about it back home." his voice sounding a bit nervous.

"You never told me where you guys were from."

"We're from…a land, very far away." André answered without giving too much detail, "And we're not really used to these parts."

Babe nodded, hoping on André lying, yet truthful, band wagon.

"I have an idea, how about I give you guys a little tour of the city?" She offered the two.

André and Babe had her, they dodged a bullet but just barely.

"You'd do that?" André asked her intently.

"That'd be great." Babe happily added on.

Neon smiled cheerfully, "Perfect! Follow me and welcome, on behalf of all Ponies in Fillydelphia."

The trio walk off together to explore the city, Aerial was above watching the three. She still seemed rather unimpressed with the series of events. She just buried her head into the clouds.
