Making the Best of it
Never Let it Happen
The walk to Twilight's library was full of pain for Anthony. Every single pony that they passed would just stare at him and each one of those stares felt like a dagger, reminding him that he was weird, different, and not accepted. He was about to let all his pain out in tears but they just so happened to pass Sugar Cube Corner and he had a flashback to the first episode of My Little Pony, and how the pink pony gave Twilight a surprise party. That was the last thing that he needed right now and he wanted nothing more than to evade that pink nightmare.
"Uhm... Twilight? Anthony ask with panic in his voice.
"What's the matter, you sound worried?" Twilight asked.
"It's just that... I don't like the way everyone is starring at me, so... can we hurry?" He looked over his shoulder to look at the shop and saw the pink pony. She had a box on her back was walking the other way. "Like... now." He looked back at Twilight but the only thing he saw was the pink pony starring him right in the face.
"HHAAAAIIIIIIII!" the pink pony screamed at the top of her lunges and ran away in the blink of an eye.
"But how? She was there, then she was here, now she's gone and that all happened in just a few seconds."
"Yeah... my friends say not to question how Pinkie does those types of things, but one day I'll find out. Anyway... you wanted to hurry?"
"Yes, if its not to much trouble that is."
"No trouble at all." they started hoofing it to the library.
It was getting dark by the time they got to the library and once inside the spherical creature came out of Twilight's mane and flew around the room and Spike was no where to be seen.
"Hmm no sign of Spike... he must already be sleeping, after all he did just clean the library by himself." Twilight and Anthony walked into the main room, "Would it be Okay if you sleep down here tonight? The guest bedroom is dirty and full of books."
"Yeah its Okay but, I thought that we where going to talk."
"And we will, but tomorrow Princess Celestia is coming down from Canterlot to visit Ponyville and I need plenty of sleep so that I can show her around everywhere."
"Alright Twilight, I can wait..."
"Good, now here's a candle and make sure to get to sleep early." Twilight starts heading up the stairs, "Oh and Anthony."
"Yeah Twilight?"
"Good night."
"...Good...good night Twilight." And with that, Twilight heads into her room for the rest of the night getting the peaceful sleep that she wishes for. Anthony on the other hand wouldn't be getting much sleep that night. Not only from the thoughts of how he would get out of this world, but he also got woken up by the sound buzzing in the middle of the night.
"How am I going to get back home? If Twilight can't help me then who can? She said Celestia was coming tomorrow so maybe I can ask her"BUZZ"... But what if she can't help me?"BUZZ BUZZZZ"..... Will I be trapped here for the rest of my life?"BUZZZZZZZZZZ "What the hell is making that God damn noise!" Anthony sat up on the couch and reached for his one of his bags to get out his laptop. After a few seconds to start it up, the screen turned on and he turned it around and was shocked at what he saw. There where hundreds of those ball like creatures flying around the room.
"What in the world? How are there this many?... I've got to go wake up Twilight." running up the stairs, he only made it about half way before he realized something, "This seems like a big problem. Celestia coming here tomorrow and then having everything go wrong. If wasting my life watching anime and movies taught me one thing, its finding a plot. This is definitely in a episode of MLP and If that's the case then it should be on my laptop." Anthony hurry's back down stairs, sits on the couch and opens folder after folder to find the episodes. "It doesn't have enough juice to watch all of them, I'll just have take a guess at the name. Look Before You Sleep no, Bridle Gossip no, Swarm of the Century... maybe?"
He watches the first few minutes and sure enough the ball looking thing is there. He watches the full show and knows how to get rid of them but is feeling uneasy. "This can't be what happens. Fluttershy first showed the Parasprite at her cottage not that bakery. Wait, if Flutter Shy never went to the bakery to show the Parasprite off then that means that Pinkie Pie doesn't know that their here yet and now she's a full day behind in getting the instruments. Not only that but... this is all my fault... If I wasn't here then this would have played out like the episode."
Light begins to shine into the library. "It's too late now, there's no chance that this can be fixed. Might as well give up and hide in a hole." Anthony looks up and see's the newly lit destruction of the library. It was neat and tidy not long ago and now... it's just chaos. A new feeling that Anthony has never felt before starts to rise, is it a strong sense on duty or is it a feeling of guilt? He doesn't know nor does he care, he feels that he must do... something to stop this.
"No, I can't think like that. If these things can cause this much destruction then I have to stop them somehow, but the question is how. There isn't enough time for Pinkie to get all of the instruments, maybe if I can convince the others to help but chances are they won't and even if they did it would be cutting it close. Wait..." Then it hit him, the few things that he had with him is all that he needs. "If I hook up my speakers to my laptop then all I have to do is replay the music over and over then turn it to full blast and walk them to the forest, it's so simple, but I should do it now before anyone gets up." Anthony uses the movie maker on his laptop to loop the music from the episode, then picks up his empty bag and puts the speakers in, then hooks them up to his laptop and turns it to full blast. The sound of the cheery tune echos through out the library and soon all the Parasprites are in the main room, Anthony turns toward the exit and moves out, leading the Parasprites to the Everfree Forest.
As Anthony walks into the middle of Ponyville, not a single pony was out and about, most likely sleeping in their beds, ignorant of the destruction that could have occurred. It took him a while to get to the forest mostly because he was walking backwards to make sure there wasn't any Parasprites trying to get away, but soon enough he got to Fluttershy's cottage. Anthony was only just outside the door when he could hear the concentrated buzzing coming from inside, so he pushed the door open and out came a swarm of Parasprites joining the group. Anthony looks inside to see the damage and it was great, but under window drapes Fluttershy was breathing hard, most likely from chasing all the Parasprites around.
"You Okay Fluttershy?" Anthony says over the music.
"Yes... I'm... fine thank you." Fluttershy says almost unable to speak.
"Alright then, I'm going to take care of the Parasprites... so just stay there and catch your breath."
Fluttershy only raises a hoof and Anthony takes it as an Okay. He walks to the edge of the forest and the Parasprites enter one by one just like in the show and after the last one was out of sight he turns off the music and goes back to the cottage to tell Fluttershy that he'll send Twilight over later. With that done, he heads to the library. The walk into Ponyville was just as empty as when he left, he sighed in relief knowing that he was seen by no one besides Fluttershy, but she will likely not remember. As he entered the library he looked at the destruction left by the Parasprites. "I guess I'll be helping Spike clean this up today... I need some sleep." Anthony walked over to the couch, put his bag next to it, and he lays on it, ready to drift into the realm of slee- "WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE!"
...It's going to be one of those days...
