Oh dear god. . .emotions.

With that Twilight and Pinkie headed for the door, Micheal, Sara and Chris tried their best to convince them otherwise.

"It's not safe!" Micheal said

"We have faced worse. . ." Twilight rebutted calmly, she then looked at Pinkie Pie. ". . .and I am not alone."

Pinkie grinned at Twilight and opened the door, the two walked right outside not hindered by anything, but slowed down by three rather hysterical bronies.

I had followed if only to watch the three make themselves look like fools. But I couldn't help but worry about the two ponies leaving for their friends
.
"Do you know where they are?" I asked

"We will find them. . ." Twilight spoke with a fierce determination in her voice.

"So how long will that take. . .days months. . .years?" I started to walk up to them. Though they didn't stop walking, they did slow down.

"It will take as long as it takes to save them from. . ." she paused for a second
.
"Humans? Us?" I added "Look what are you going to do? Ask them for your friends release?"

She looked around. "Will that not work? Surely they must understand that we need to get home, that they are our friends."

Pinkie nodded. "Yeah! They would have to be meanie weenies to not let them go!"

"I'm sorry but did you not notice that they were in a cage, cages are used for several things such as to keep criminals in and to keep specimens for research." I folded my arms. "I am sorry to say not all humans respect others rights and some down right disregard others lives."

Pinkie and Twilight stopped walking and turned to me. "W-What?" Twilight looked at me, there was fear in her eyes and perhaps a spark of anger.

"I don't need to explain any further than that." We had end up half way down the street. "Humans are the stuff of nightmares."

The others were quiet, they had tried to avoid talking to them about this.

"Nightmares?" Twilight looked at me.

"But Tommy!" Pinkie shouted "You're not a nightmare, you treated us good!"

"Yes well I am a rather cynical person and I tend to ignore all the good that humans do." I shrugged. "Besides what would I gain by locking you in a cage. . .not much."

There was a small silence as Twilight contemplated what I just said. Pinkie bounced in one place for a little while, then she stopped as Twilight spoke.

"What else can we do then?" She shook her head "They are in cages and for all we know in grave danger, we can not just sit down and do nothing!"

"I agree." I said nodding my head "I will not ask you to sit down and do nothing, but rather plan and be patient."

"You will help us?" Twilight looked at me and the others.

I shrugged. "Why not, you need all the help you can get right? Besides if I don't help you thoes three will just nag at me until I do, so might as volunteer now."

She looked at Pinkie who grinned at her. Twilight then smiled at me and gave a nod.

I looked at Sara who was standing in-between the boys behinds me. She looked at me and blinked in confusion.

"Yes?"

"How did you know about the news report?"

"My facebook updated." She held up her phone. "I also got a few texts from my other friends."

"You have other friends?" I asked getting a glare from Micheal.

"Yeah!" She smiled widely "Pinkie Pie taught me how to make friends along with all the other ponies."

"I did?" Pinkie had a confused look on her face but with a smile none the less.

Sara nodded. "Your show taught me alot of things. . ." It was dark and it could of been a trick of the light but I swear I saw a tear in Sara's eye. Did this show mean that much to her?

"I think it's time to head back inside." Chris chimed in.

Everyone agreed and slowly made thier way in the red brick house.

"Sara. . .do you know where that was? Where the ponies are being kept?" I asked sitting at the computer desk as we reached the lounge.

"Errr the report mentioned they were in New York."

I stopped and looked at Sara. "As in New York, New York. . .in the United States of America?"

She nodded then started to tap her phone. "Says here they were taken to Pervus Corp. laboratories."

"Pervus Corp.?" I racked my brain but I couldn't find any reference to them anywhere in my mind. "I never heard of them."

Micheal looked over Sara's shoulder. "I have. . .they're into some pretty heavy shit. . .they produce weapons and ordnance as well as some other side projects."

"Side projects?" Chris asked.

"Mhm." Micheal nodded his head. "Electronic warfare, pharmaceuticals and there are rumours about their biological and cosmetics division."

"Wait wait wait, this sounds an awful like Umbrella Corp.. You know from Resident Evil." I said looking at Micheal
.
"I said that they were rumors, besides you have to wonder what they want with Fluttershy and Rarity."

"Perhaps they want Rarity to help with their cosmetics!" Sara said.

"As much as I want that to actually be a reason babe, I doubt it is." Micheal said with a heavy sigh.

"Rarity is a unicorn right?" I asked.

"Yes she is." Chris said.

I nodded thinking carefully for a second. "Is she a powerful mage. . .or whatever."

Twilight nodded." Yeah, she has even developed her own spell for the detection of gems. Though her specialised magic is limited to her special talent."

"Well how useful would a detector for gems be?" I posed the question rhetorical "I would also imagine that a creature that can use magic would be rather useful in other fields."

"Other fields? Oooooh like a meadow! Or a soccer field!?" Pinkie said grabbing a football appearing out of no where.

"How did you. . ." I got a stare from Chris that told me not to bother and so I dropped it. "Ahem. . .no Pinkie not like those."

"Then what do you mean?" Sara asked.

I gave a small sigh. "Magic I would imagine is a powerful force. Correct?" I got nods from Twilight and Sara. "So imagine if we were to harness it, we could make life easier, but also imagine if we were able to use it as a weapon."

Twilight gasped. "Y-You wouldn't!"

I shook my head. "No I wouldn't. . .Pervus corp. though, Micheal did say they were a weapons and ordnance producer. Don't you use magic to your advantage in war in. . ." I paused trying to remember the name of their home world. ". . .your realm." I finished failing to come up with the name.

"There hasn't been a war in Equestria in over two hundred years." Twilight said. "But there used to be a type of magic dedicated to the destructive nature of war, no pony outside of Canterlot or Stalliongrad would have access to the notes and research materials." She looked down. "It is sad that magic used to be used in such away."

"Canterlot? Stalliongrad. . .I will assume they are cities or something."

"They are. . .Canterlot is the political capital of Equestria as well as the magical research center. Stalliongrad is one of our northern most cities on the boarder of the Griffon Kingdoms it is actually cut through by the Stallion river, it's name sake. But that was where the fighting was heaviest two hundred years ago during the third Equestria-Gryphon conflict, it is also one of the few cities in Equestria that has a full military presence, a fact that has made them proud."

I didn't expect the history lesson, but the others seemed to hang onto every word, aside from Pinkie Pie who had decided to play with the ball, she tapped it over to me and I tapped it back.

"Have you learned about these magics?" Sara asked astounded.

"I-In theory. . .I have never practices them nor do I want to. . .some the spells do such horrific things.

"But it is safe to assume that Rarity doesn't know about them." I said as Pinkie tapped the ball to me, I tapped it back to her.

Twilight nodded "Not many ponies do, it is a school of magic avoided by most."

"Well then that's the good news." I rubbed my chin in thought. "So what we know is: Fluttershy and Rarity are being held by Pervus Corp, somewhere in New York City. Rarity is not a pony with the knowledge that can level a city."
Everyone nodded.

"So how are we going to get to New York, I doubt any of us have the money to just go in a whim, and I am pretty sure that there are another two Ponies out there waiting to be found, or to find us."

"Applejack and Rainbow Dash." Chris said.

Twilight looked at Pinkie. She was balancing the ball on her left hind leg while doing a hand stand.

"How are we going to find them?" Twilight asked looking back at me.

"Well if they arn't heading to New York after the news thier friends are being held there, that is assuming they are taken in by people like us." I said thinking a little "We can use your magic sense."

"Magic sense?" Sara asked.

"Yeah. . .Twilight mentioned that she cannot sense humans, thier lack of magic makes them some what on par to a tea cup."
"Really?" Sara looked fascinated.

Twilight nodded. "I see where you are going with this Tom and it may work, but at this point in time I can't feel them, they are too far away."

"Damn. . .that would of made such an easy thing of this."

"It would of." Micheal said nodding his head.

I looked at the time, that little fight and the conversation had taken an hour and it was about ten.

"I believe that we should continue this in the morning guys." I said stretching.

"But what about Rarity and Fluttershy?" Twilight asked a little anxiously.

"I think it is best to start off fresh. . .besides I would like some time to recover from my head wound." I rubbed my head, the dizzy spells had become less frequent but there was a awfully large bumb on my head.

"So I assume Chris and Sara are staying the night?" They nodded and grinned, I then looked at the ponies. "So where are you going to sleep?"
Pinkie and Twilight looked at me.

"I can sleep with Twilight!" Pinkie shouted.

A blush crawled it's way on Twilights face. Then Pinkie put her arm around Twilight. "We can make it a sleep over!"

"Right. . ." I said shaking my head a little. ". . .I think we have a spare matress around here somewhere, if not you can sleep on the couch."
"Then where am I going to sleep?" Chris asked.

Before I could answer Micheal spoke up. "Why don't you sleep with Tom?"

"What?" Chris and I said in unison.

"Well you guys are best friends right?" Sara said.

"Y-Yeah." Again in unison.

"So there is no problem!" Micheal grinned.
---
Chris and I lay in my bed, our backs to each other, this awkwardness was preventing any type of sleep. It was werid to have Chris so close to me, hell we didn't even hug unless it was a brithday or Christmas. I lay there staring at my certains finding interesting patterns and sometimes even a face out of the shapes and shadows, anything to take my mind off the man laying next to me. I thought back on the days events, what had happend and what was to come. Some time away from home may be good for me, perhaps amazing and magical adventures await us. Or in a more likely situation a long and painful death. . .or a lawsuit. I shuddered thinking about all the possible things that could go wrong. Chris turned and mumbled something, he had managed to find sleep.

"Lucky bastard." I grumbled.

I turned myself around and looked at him. I studied his face and couldn't help but smile, he had been my closet friend since high school. He had pulled me out of a dark place, his insited nagging. . .his smile grabbed me by the collar and threw me out of the hole. Because of Chris I met Micheal, who let me stay in his flat. I managed to find a job nearby because of Chris' 'motivation' which meant pulling me out of bed and chucking news papers at me. Literally. . .I am not joking, he would grab me by the ear if I didn't wake up at the appointed time and throw me on the floor, he would then throw newspapers at me to 'wake me up' as he said.

But no matter how much of a task master he was, he would always revert into that sweet young boy I met four years ago. Because of the way he looked. . . he was bullied a lot. No one likes to be bullied, to be made fun of or attacked because of what you are or who you are. Chris was no exception, and like all victims he seemed to take it on the chin. . .never fighting back or standing up for himself and like so many others I watched doing nothing. I had my own problems to deal with, but one day all those problems just crashed on me and I had a mental breakdown. I didn't go to class and just banged my head on the bathroom wall trying to fight back tears and failing miserably. That was when Chris found me, he said things to me that made the dark path illuminate before me. He then did something that I will never forget, he gave me a kiss on the cheek. I don't know why, nor do I care. It was purifying, like all my problems had been kicked away. Later we would become best friends and the whole lovey dovey stuff would be put in the back of the closet. But that kiss is something that made me change. While still cynical and rather depressing, I never let Chris get bullied ever again, got a black eye from it but you should of seen the other guy.

He and Micheal were like a second family to me, and when Sara came along it just got a lot more spazztastic. We had our own dramas and 'adventures' but in the end we would just come back home, have a cup of tea and just play video games or sleep. I did not need anything else.

This life changing force called ponies as ripped up that old life, I should feel apprehension and maybe regret but instead I feel excited. Sure I was worried but the prospect of going to America on a rescue mission affected the little boy inside me looking for action and adventure. I recalled many adventures that played out in my head when I was younger, playing our favourite characters from Dragon Ball Z at primary school and the video games I now played.

As I lay in the near perfect darkness I heard a shuffling from outside the door. Not getting any sleep any time soon I slid out of bed trying not to disturb Chris and made my way to the door, gently pulling the handle I opened it far enough for me to slip out and then closed it behind me just as gently. The hall light was on but that didn't surprise me, we left it on for the ponies and the guests. I made my way down to the lounge and saw Twilight fast asleep on the single mattress on the floor but Pinkie Pie wasn't on the couch. I looked around the house but failed to find her, until I entered the kitchen during my search. The back door was ajar, I opened it slightly and saw Pinkie lying on her back looking at the stars.

"Hi Tom." She said not looking at me.

"Uhh. . .Hey Pinkie, what are you doing out here?" I said walking towards her.

"Thinking."

"Thinking? About what?"

"Life. . .love. . .the stars, your stars arn't like our stars."

"They're not?" I sat beside her and looked up.

She shook her head. "These are random. . .I like these ones." A small smile appared on her face.

"Well. . .not all of them." I lay back on the grass and stared at the night sky. The warm summer night added to the comfort of the freshly mowed lawn.

"Who raises the sun and moon here?" She asked.

"What?" I was a little taken aback by the question. "No one. It does it by itself."

She gasped and stood to her feet. "Really!?"

I sat up surprised by the reaction. I nodded in reply to her question.

"Wow! It's like the Everfree Forest here!"

"The what now?"

"It is a place where all the animals and weather isn't controlled by us ponies. It can be very scarry sometimes." She laughed.
"But all I need to do is giggle at the ghosties and the kookey spookies go poof!"

All of it went over my head, but I nodded in an automated response.

"Riiight." I looked up at the stars again. "You think one of these stars is yours?"

Pinkie shrugged and resumed lying on her back. "I dunno."

"Hmm probably not." I scratched the top of my head. "You come from a alternate reality and I think a different universe all together."

"That makes sense."

"I thought it did, I have been thinking though can Pervus Corp actually legally hold your friends. . .I mean they are technically owned by Hasbro Inc.."

"Yea but that wouldn't make a good story would it."

I nodded. "Yeah I guess your right." I paused for a minute. "Wait. . .what?"

"Never mind!"
"Oookay."

Ten minutes of silence and star gazing passed before a thought occurred to me "Shouldn't you be asleep?"

"Nope." She giggled. "Shouldn't you?"

"Nope. . ." Frankly I didn't want to share a bed with Chris, it druged up to many feelings.

We lay there in silence for a little while. The warm night made the Cicadas sing an anthem of bliss and sorrow, the air tinged with something I couldn't explain. I felt a preasure in my chest when I thought about Chris and I wasn't a stranger to it. I ignored it as I usually did, that is untill I felt a hoof on my hand. It was remarkably soft I looked at Pinkie who was staring at me.

"You shouldn't do that." She said softly.

"Do what?" I asked puzzled.

"Ignore your heart like that." She said now poking my chest with the hoof.

I scoffed, as I did she pressed her face against mine.

"It hurts you, makes you feel awful if you ignore it!"

"What are you talking about Pinkie?" I raised a brow and stared at her then let out of breath when she poked me in the chest.

"You like him don't you?" She asked. "I mean like him like him!"

"Who?" I gathered a guess. "Chris?"

She nodded enthusiastic.

"Whoa now." I said putting my hands up a little. "He is my best friend, I don't think. . ."

". . .that it's proper." She finished for me.

I paused and stared at her I then shook my head. "N-No that. . ."

". . .you don't have these feelings." She finished for me again.

"OK please stop that."

She stared at me, those big blue eyes staring into what seemed to be my very soul. I did something that I proably shouldn't have, I stared right back.

~~~

Once I started I couldn't stop, somehow I broke a wall and entered a state where I could see Equestria and all of it's inhabitants at once. I stopped on a particular town and looked around. So many ponies were gathered around a rather tall building, reminded me of a merry go round. There a beige pony with a white mane was speaking, a purple ,I guess dragon, stood beside her a look of worry on his face and several other ponies stood beside them. One was an awfully tall pony he actually would of come up to my chest, his red coat seemed make to him more intimidating with him was a really old pony with a green coat. Beside them were two other ponies one was hearing an Hawaiian shirt and a straw hat while also supporting a moustache, a very worried looking I think mare was standing beside him, and for some reason she was wearing pants. All the sound stopped being blurry for a minute.

". . .and so as the mayor of Ponyville I must ask every-pony here to help find the Elements of Harmony. . ."

I looked around the crowd, saw three young looking Ponies at the front of the group a green one with a red mane, a orange one with a purple mane and a white one with a curly pink and purple mane. I took some experimental steps forwards and seemed to act like a solid, unseen and unheard I started to make my around the town. I didn't stray to far from the crowd, I noticed many things that seemed so similar. Doors, carts and even a scooter.

I felt like I could reach out and touch some one. . .or in this instance some-pony. But before I could I was dragged out and returned to my world.
~~~
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" I screamed, gasping for air, it was like I was holding my breath though the entire ordeal.

Pinkie quickly shoved her hoof in my mouth and looked around checking to see if i had woken anybody. When it was clear I hadn't she removed her hoof and giggled, the seriousness from before evaporated in an instant.

"Whoopsie I forgot to shield you from that. . ."

"From what!?"

"The fourth wall." She then put a hoof to her lip. "Since I am here I can't break it any more, but maybe you humans can, to get to my world."

She seemly oddly calm and rather knowledgeable about this.

"The fourth wall?" I shook my head. "You mean that lame way for characters to interact with the audience?"

She pouted. "Lame. . ."

"I mean. . .never-mind. So that's breaking the fourth wall?"

Her pout disappeared and she grinned "Yep."

"Trippy."

She nodded. "You get used to it."

"That explains why you didn't freak out when you got here."

She nodded again. "I have always been able to look into you world but never fully grasp it."

"Do the others know about it?"

"You mean Twi and the gang?" She shrugged her head "I guess."

Her look turned into a serious one. She wasn't easily swayed from the topic we were discussing before and she finished our far more interesting conversation there.

"Back to before. . .you can't hide those feelings."

"Why not?" I said humouring her.

"Weren't you listening? I said it hurts you." She folded her fore legs. I looked away for a second and when I returned my gaze she was wearing glasses and a chalk board had appeared behind her.

"How the he-" She cut me off.

"Today we shall be learning about the heart." She pointed to the chalk board, a large cartoon heart drawn on it and smiled.
I blinked and found myself sitting at a desk. "What the. . .I didn't even feel myself move. . .how are you doing this!?"

"I'm Pinkie Pie!" She grinned.

I was about to say something but figured that was as good as explanation as any.

"The heart is a fragile thing Tom, if you let yourself fill it with pieces of ickiness it will break!"

"Pieces of ickiness?"

She nodded and flipped the board over revealing a complex equation with pictures of a happy face and a sad face.
She then used a ruler to point at the smiley face. "This is you now."

I gave a nod.

"This is you if you don't tell Chris about your feelings for him." She pointed at the sad face.

I nodded again.

"Now according to my maths and thanks to Big Mac's input I have been able to calculate the longer that someone with holds their love from someone the more likely that the person would be subject to the traumas of watching the object of their affection turn towards someone else."

She stopped for a second and looked down, thinking about what she said.

"You have thought about this a lot." I said raising a brow.

"Yep."

"Why?"

The simple question seemed to do the one thing I thought impossible. It fade her frown.

"Because. . ." She started, she took a breath trying to muster the courage to continue. "Because I know how you feel."

What. . .OH!" As I clicked the gears in my brain whirred to life. My brain power started to return to normal. "You mean you like some one?"

She gave a nodded and a smile returned to her face, a much better and natural look if I do say so myself.

"So why give me advice you haven't followed yourself?" I doubt being a cynical jerk and calling her a hypocrite would of done any good.

"Well. . .I don't like Ponies being unhappy, I like making Ponies smile, if that means I have to bring to Ponies together then I am OK with that!"

"Well Ponies and Humans are different, maybe not too different but I think we we still have a gap." I shrugged. "If I am going to be honest with you. . .and myself. I can't just talk to him about it."

She went to say something but I put my hand up to stop her. "I think it is best if we save your friends first, then we will worry about broken hearts and sappy and unneeded emotional turmoil that would drag us down to the depths of depression." I cleared my throat. "Also I doubt that would be any more exciting you know."

She nodded. We started to head back inside

"By the way you know my. . .I guess crush, may I know yours?"

She looked at me then looked at the house. "You already know her. . ."

I stared at Pinkie Pie and nodded, nothing else needed to be said tonight.

---

I awoke on the couch, Pinkie was snoozing on top of me. I noticed that the house was already buzzing with activity. In the kitchen the other humans and pony were getting some breakfast. Not one to miss out an opitunity for food I poked Pinkie in the side until she woke up.

"N-No mommy I don't want to eat the alfalfa. . ." She gurgled.
"Oi! Wake up."

"Wassawha?" Pinkie shook her head as her eyes opened lazily.

"I think it's time to get up."

She gave a yawn and got off the couch. I followed her into the kitchen, everyone had a bowl of cereal. Twilight was reading a atlas while Sara was reading her small black book. It was Micheal who first noticed we entered.

"Morning. . .late night?" He smiled.

"Yeah actually." I said stifling a yawn.

"Morning guys!" Chris said with a smile. "Where did you go last night?" He said looking at me.

"I couldn't sleep and neither could Pinkie so we talked. . .broke the fourth wall. . .that type of thing." I smiled a little remembering the ordeal.

Everyone but Twilight and Pinkie stopped and looked at me. Pinkie was fetching a bowl of cereal and sat next to Twilight.
"You broke the fourth wall?" Sara asked with wide eyes.

"Accidentally, I couldn't interact with anybody on the other side, only observe." I scratched my head and winced when I hit the bump.

"How did you do that?" Micheal asked.

I gave a small shrug. "Starring contest with Pinkie." Pinkie giggled.

"So you saw Equestria?" Sara asked.

"Yep. . .by the way what's an 'Element of Harmony'?"

It was Twilights turn to speak up. "They are powerful artefacts that keep chaos and evil from reigning in Equestria. . ."

"Is that so?"

I got nods from the humans and the ponies.

"They are also wielded by Twilight and the gang." Chris said with tang of excitement in his voice.

"Really?" I looked at Twilight and Pinkie. "So what are the Elements?"

"Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter and Magic." Twilight said as if reciting out of a book.

I nodded and folded my arms. "So. I assume you are magic."

Twilight nodded. "Pinkie here is Laughter, Rarity is Generosity and Fluttershy is kindness."

"Applejack is Honesty and Rainbow Dash Loyalty." Micheal finished.

I put my hand on my head in a thought process. "Well at least we know Rainbow Dash and Applejack are together."

They all gave me a stare.

"How could you know that?" Chris asked.

"Makes sense, I mean Kindness and Generosity are connected, Loyalty and Honesty are connected and of course Magic and Laughter are connected."

Micheal and Sara looked at each other. "How does that make sense?"

"God you guys are thick!" I shook my head. "Lets start with the obvious, Generosity is a form of kindness. You give something and expect nothing in return, to help somebody or whatever."

They all nodded.

"Now Loyalty and Honesty. I would imagine if you are loyal to someone you are open and honest with them. To lie is a betrayal in its self."

I got a nod again.

"Now magic and laughter is more abstract, here on Earth magic is a form of entertainment, people get entertained and they smile and sometimes laugh." I smiled a little. "One could say while the elements are all connected to each other, the users are connect to someone specific."

"That's just silly." Sara said with a grin.

"It is only a theory." I said with a shrug.

I went to make my breakfast which only meant grabbing a bowl and spoon. I got out the cereal and tipped it, all I got was crumbs.

"You bastards." I sighed.

The others laughed at me, though not in malice it was still rather annoying. I then pointed at Chris.

"Woman I demand bacon and eggs for this atrocity!"

Twilight blinked. "I thought he was a male. . ."

Chris sighed. "I am. . .it's just his way of being an arse hole."

"Indeed. . .also I require tea." I said with a smirk.

"Your damn lucky you have a head injury." He mumbled has he walked to the fridge.

I sat at the table and smiled. I was getting bacon, eggs and tea! A wonderful start to the day.

"So. . ." I began. "Any ideas on how to get to America?"

"Several actually." Micheal spoke up.

"Do tell."
"Well first we could ask for some favours from Sara's father." Micheal said sipping his coffee.

"Yeah, daddy kinda owes me a Christmas present." Sara smiled. "I already brought him three."

Micheal nodded. "Plus with his money we could fly first class! That would be an interesting experience."

I nodded. "Yeah that does sound good, any others?"

"I could teleport you all to 'Manhattan'." Twilight seemed to struggle with the word as if it was unnatural.

"Teleport?"

She nodded. "I can teleport you there, I know where it is on a map and I have looked up different spots on the interweb to visualise for our arrival."

I rubbed my chin. "But in the eyes of magic arn't we you know inanimate objects?"

She nodded. "Yes but I believe you can just hang on to me while I teleport, it should not harm you in anyway."

"Well. . .what are the chances we will turn out like a inside out pig lizard?" I asked a little curious and probably apprehensive.

"What? I um. . .very little."

"But there is still a chance?"

She didn't speak but nodded a little.

"We are taking the plane!"
