Chapter 2: Accept or Decline


As they turned around, they asked themselves a question in their minds, was it real?
A talking pony pooped out of nowhere with a little cowboy hat on it?

"Now why y'all ignoring me, what in the hay is that metal box, and you look strange, never seen creatures like you before"
She spoke to them, they didn't listen. "Oh damn it man, what the hell?" The young soldier asked as rubbing his chin.

The sergeant shifted his eyes left and right, squeezing his pistol.
"O.K. woo," He swallowed hard. "Should we talk to it?" He asked.

"You two a'ight back there?" The yellow pony asked looking at the metal box in front of her.
They turned around, making eye contact with the pony's large eyes.
"Um... wow... so... where are we?" The young soldier asked looking over the sarge.
The yellow pony took a step back, fearing that something will happen.  

"You are... in... um... Equestria?" The pony answered, it didn't seem like an answer, but a question.
The marines were confused, Equestria, where on earth was that, or was it even on earth?

Their eyes gaping on each other, squeezing the handles of the rifles, ready for something to happen.
The pony took another step back, then another, as it began to run from the marines.

"Well what do you know, you scared it, her, whatever!" The young soldier spoke as looking at the running pony.
The sergeant sighed and looked back at the Humvee.
The radio came to life, "All ground units, I repeat all ground units need to go to the nearest safe zone, there are a few marked on your maps, good luck"
The radio died down, "What the hell was that for?" The sarge asked.
Looking over the sky they saw a rainbow, not curved, just a straight rainbow.
The marines entered the Humvee, each lighting a cigarette.
"So what now, rolling again?" The young soldier asked the sarge.
"Yep *puffing the cigar* we are resuming patrol as usual, nothing happened, no talking ponies appeared, or anything at all"
He started the engine a loud roar was heard, then the rubber wheels spun on the grass.

As they drove across the green fields they came across a town, unreasonably colorful and small.
They stopped, their eyes gaping as to see a large number of ponies walking around, with wings, horns.
The sarge smacked his head against the seat. "Fuck! What the hell, okay ugh..."
He sighed, confused and angry to what he saw. With rage he stepped out.
No one saw him, so he had to make it, the sarge was standing on a path way in the middle of the town.

"ALRIGHT!" He shouted, cocked his rifle.
All the eyes were on him, staring, they never seen a creature like that before, it was all covered in light brown, it didn't have any fur, just skin.
"I don't know how we got here but I want answers, this place is full of talking ponies, that is a RIPOFF, now you tell me what I want to know or I'm gonna how to use force, by any means for the US Army."
The ponies confused, some grinned, some scared, but no pony answered. 
The sarge looked around, "Fine" thinking is his brain, he saw an apple standing, he aimed through the red dot sight.
He shot and the apple exploded into pieces, scattered around. The young soldier looked through the window and saw what the sarge was doing, his though: What the hell?..
He stepped out, patting the sarge on the shoulder, "Come on man, probably some kind of prank from the US?"
The sarge looked at him, his eyes bloodshot, his teeth crackling.
"Wow, dude, you alright?" The young soldier asked as looking at the sarge's face.


Then something happened, a large white pony with sparkling hair, a long spiky horn and big beautiful wings, landed in front of them with a metal stump, they looked at it, some pony shouted. "Princess Celestia!"
The soldiers looked at each other "Princess, Jesus this is getting weirder and weirder by every second, I think I smoked too much. The sarge thought to himself.
Beside the pony princess two white Pegasus ponies were holding place on her sides.
"Strangers" The Princess spoke in a royal, loud voice.
