//------------------------------// // The Tour // Story: Skyworld // by LikeaBaws //------------------------------// You approach the pony waiting at the desk as he looks through the list. "Hmm...you are, Anonymous. Correct?" the pony asked. You nod in response. "And your from...Manehatten, yes?" He asked again. You nod again. You weren't different from the ponies in Manehatten. Sure you were un-neat like the classy ponies, but you are a fine and strong Stallion. Or...that's what you heard from your Mom. You are an earth pony and it seems mares fall for you like leaves do during Fall. But you would always say 'No' for the answer. Your just...not into mares right now. Your busy, you work in training to teach other ponies how calm their anger and build muscles. You know...boring, but you do get payed. "Alright, you are Number 7. Please step in the line with a seven on it." the desk pony says. You do as he says as you walked past him...but You sorta get lost. You search around, going through hallway through hallway...only to end up more lost. You see a violet mare with a star for a cutie mark. Her hair was mixed with purple and pink and she was searching for something. You couldn't help but trot towards her. "Um, excuse me."You asked. "Do you know where seven is?" "Seven? That's what I'm looking for!" She says with a smile. Oh Celestia. Please pray tell that she won't be where I'm going. You thought to yourself. "You can help me, if you want." She says. Wait...scratch that. Pray that we find it before I lose my mind. You thought to yourself once again. "Alright, have any idea where we go?" You asked. "Yeah...should be that way...I think." She pointed ahead. You playfully 'boop' her nose in stupidity and followed her through the hallway. At the end of the hallway, was five more colorful ponies. She gasped in happiness and ran towards them. "I found you guys! And I didn't ask for directions." You hear the purple mare say. "You got lost...did you?" the cyan pegasus asked. The cyan pony was...let's just say she is so light blue, she can literally blend in with the sky. Her hair and mane was mixed with rainbows that you almost want to call her Skittles. Her cutie mark was a cloud that shot rainbow lighting, which you thought was a tiny bit weird. "Yeah." the purple mare admitted. The girls gave a laugh as you trot in. "This number seven?" You asked. "Eeyup. This here is numba' sevn'." the orange mare said. Her accent was southern and she wore a cowgirl hat. She has white freckles and she had apples for a cutie mark. Though, it looks like if you tick her off, she's not going to be happy. "I didn't catch your names." You say, holding a hoof at the group. "Names Twilight Sparkle." the purple mare says. "Rainbow Dash! The fastest flyer around!" the cyan mare says. "Applejack." the orange mare says as she gives You a hard hoof-shake. Her arm felt like it was going to be ripped out of it's sockets, so You give a hard push to make sure it's still in. You hear a loud CRACK and you feel a slight pinch in your arm. "Names Rarity, dear. And your quite handsome for a stallion." the white mare says. Her mane was curled up like a freaking loop as well as her tail. Her cutie mark was blue colored diamonds, and she looked a little to classy for you, but you chose to ignore it. "Why thank you, Madam." You said. She gives a slight blush, but you randomly see a pink pony touching nose to snout. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" She said. You back up in fear as you look at her. She was a pink pony with a muffled up tail and mane. She has balloons for a cutie mark, and it looks like she's stuck on a sugar rush. "Nice to meet you...Pinkie Pie." You say in fear. You look at the yellow pegasus as she crouches in fear. You regain your calm and you hold out a hoof for her. "It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt ya." You said. She smiles and hangs on to your hoof as she gets up. "I'm...Fluttershy." She says quickly. Your brain starts up confusion mode as you realized that you had no idea what she said. "Can you speak a little louder?" You asked. "I'm Fluttershy." She says once again. Apparently, Futtershy has a pink curl mane and tail that looks like it does that on it's own. Her cutie marks were butterfly's and...her hoof was so soft. It felt like a bunny! "Attention, Passengers." You hear. Please enter the Rocket and put on your seat belts." You enter and you see seven seats. You pick a random seat as Applejack and Twilight sit next to you. You look to the side of you to see... What is that? It's a black thing that held another black-metal thing. You grab, and start to play with it. You look to your bottom left and saw a hole. You enter the metal thing to the hole and it made a click-click sound. You rest your arms on the arm holders as well as everypony else. But a metal thing came out of nowhere and got a hold of your hoofs. It was a half-circle metal thing and You struggle to get out, but...it was to strong for you. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/#/watch?v=qiB98Wbsdlo&feature=relmfu] Your brain starts to hear music...funny violin music. Whatever. "Get ready for take off." You hear the intercom say. Twilight and them start to panic as the metal holders came out of nowhere. "Disrespect to a lady!" You hear Rarity say. (0:26) Everpony on your rocket starts to complain in fear from the sudden shot into the air. The rocket shook to and fro and You can just feel your body, shaking it's own brain out. A screen with some sort of technology a appeared in your face as you see others in fear in 20-30 rockets. The rocket stop shaking and it went sudden light speed that made your muscles open and contrast itself out. (0:47) You can hear screams from other rockets as you see others with tears in their eyes. All of a sudden, the rocket shook once again but with fierce jolt and a sudden pain. You realized something. You were in the atmostsphere. The rocket was heading straight down with fierce power and it looked like you were gonna crash. But, somehow, the rocket fixed itself up, and gently let you out. The metals opened and you rubbed your forehoof in pain. The door opened, and once you stepped outside, the ground was...cloudy. But you weren't a pegasus. You were an earth pony. (1:08) The clouds were soft and everypony from the other rockets got out of their rockets in pain and...most complained. You follow the thin cloudy path...and you see a heavenly huge gate. The gate slowly opened and it shined bright. Brighter than Celestia's sun. Brighter than God himself. You cover your eyes in pain until the gate finally opened. And what you saw was beauty. Beauty that even the Gods and Princesses themselves would say, 'T'is the beautiful thing." But it was a city. A city with technology nopony has ever seen. No...it was... (1:34) ...Skyfall. You see ponies humming along with walking things on two legs. A machine they call: A Robot. They had technology where ponies who are to bulky use machine on wheels. They drove back and forth on the black rubber concrete and ponies humming to a song that you had in your head. The ponies 'wow'd from the scenery as the city was sky blue, the buildings towered over ponies and reached above the clouds, and the paths were made with clouds. You looked to the side as you see a water fall to the bottom of...whatever is down there. You walk in and you see a pony in a top hat. "Welcome everypony!" He said with enthusiasm. "I hoped you admire Skyfall, because we're going to show you the rest of the beautiful city!" You follow him, but you also try to stay inside with your group. You got onto this vehicle and you sit next to Futtershy. She smiles at you, then she looks at the scenery. "Unfortunately." You hear the pony with the top hat say. "We won't be able to show you the rest since it's late. Instead, we will take you to your home." The pony dropped off the group one by one and your group, number seven was next. He parked his...vehicle next to a very thin and tall building. "Here you go. Just go to number 237 as your dorm." You hear as you get off the vehicle. You watch the vehicle stroll out of your sight, then follow your group inside. Once you enter, the desk mare was looking down at her desk. You went up to her and ask her if she knows where room 237 is. "Yea. Just go up their and be out of my sight." The desk mare pointed in a small room. You and your group enter and...you still have this epic song in your head. Once it reached room 237, it was a small apartment that's able to fit 8-9 ponies. You and your group 'wow'd at the apartment that's ready to be filled with stuff. The cool part is that it has a porch. Wait...that isn't a porch. Theirs were more than one level of a city. You step out of the porch, bringing Twilight in your hoofs by accident, and point to the new scenery. This scenery was filled with restraunts. McLuna (Same as McDonalds.) was crowded with ponies. And Salad King. It was just filled with buffets. "How did they do this?" You hear Twilight asked. "To be honest. I don't know." You admit. Your stuff was already sitting next to a random bed you might be taking, so you take it anyway. The bed was comfortable and it felt like the clouds you were walking on. But once you get a look out the porch once again. The sun was making a beautiful glowing purple and red onto the clouds. You smile as you close your eyes. This...was the best trip ever.
