Hello, my name is Alexis and I'm a Pound Puppy. Oh and Twilight's here too
What if you make a wish to get on a certain show on the hub? What happens if you accidently skip over some details? Hello, my name is Alexis and I'm a Pound Puppy. Don't worry, it's the new one. Oh and Twilight's here too. . .
Oh My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic, what an amazing show you are. With modern cartoons these days, you are a beacon of hope for us animation lovers. With your amazing animation quality,and relateable characters with diverse personalities that are the driving force behind the show's popularity. So many reasons you are one of my favorite cartoons. . .
Oh did I get carried away? Sorry, I think proper introductions are due. My name is Alexis, and yes I am a Brony, or a Pegasister to be more specific. And as of now I am doing what any other normal teenage girl my age would be doing: crying over a fictional character. Rainbow Dash to be exact. I'm reading this fanfiction called Catch You, very sad. I'm actually crying harder than when I read My Little Dashie, hoo boy. Ugh I'm a mess right now wait a minute. . . .
Ok hi I'm Alexis, oh did we already go over that? Okay sorry, lost my train of thought. Anyway I just finished it, and as per usual, there's an add at the bottom. "Go to Equestria!" it says.
"Eh why not." I say out loud. It's probably like an online game or something, that sounds somewhat fun. As long as it doesn't give my laptop and viruses. I click it.
The webpage loads and on pops a survey type thing, filled with various questions that I don't care to read right now. Oh what's this? "If you had the option to go on a popular show on the hub, would you?" It read.
Now I personally, am not the type to hope Princess Celestia pops into my universe and whisks me away to the magical land of Equestria where I can meet my favorite pony Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the mane six and spend the rest of my life as a pony like some HiE fic. Mainly because I know that will not happen and I don't want to raise my expectations. But given the chance? Heck yes! I mean, if there was no catch of course! I mean, who wouldn't want to?
I click the yes button and submit it my anwser. I don't know what it will do or if this is even a game, but my opinion counts somewhere, right?
Suddenly my computer screen goes black.
"OH COME ON!" I yell at my laptop, "Why must it have been a virus? Why couldn't it have been an innocent my little pony game? Ugh." I crossed my arms and leaned back in my chair, frustrated at this recent development. "Boop." goes the laptop.
My attention is focused back on my screen where and loading sequence is taking place. An unfamiliar one at that. "Huh?" The screen seems to be. . . moving? Not the pictures on it but. . . . the screen itself. . . .was the laptop going to explode? WAS THE LAPTOP GOING TO EXPLODE?! WHAT?!
I quickly ducked for cover under my desk, shield my head and brace for impact.
. . .
Huh, I guess it was just my-
WOOSH!
Not the explosion I was expecting but it was something, something indeed. . . I lift my hands from atop my head and get a glance at my laptop, which is now on the floor facing away from me.
My heart quickens and inch closer to the wall. The laptop begins to shake and a gust of wind sweeps around my room, scattering papers and knocking down posters. My eyes grow wide as this unfolds in front of me. A mini tornado begins to form, the center being my laptop. It lifts of the ground and slowly begins to face me.
I scream, It can't be helped, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I'm blinded by an array of colors shooting into my eyes. I can faintly hear a droning noise under the sound of the wind screaming in my ears. I'm being sucked in.
My body is being dragged across the carpet. I've given up on sheilding my ears and clutch onto the side of the desk and hang on for dear life. My legs are suddenly sucked from underneath me and are being sucked into the computer. Hands, glued to the wood of the desk are now pried off. My entire body is being sucked in, and my screams go unheard.
Not a fic to be taken very seriously, just something funny I thought of while watching Pound Puppies after watching MLP with the though of, "What if you accidently goofed up and ended up in the wrong show?" Anyway, if you see any mistakes please don't hesitate to tell. Also, please comment and rate, it is greatly appreciated.
Endless floating. So that's what being inside the internet feels like. Or, I'm assuming it's the internet and not some inter-dimensional void that leaves me stranded between universes for the rest of my life. *Nervous chuckle* If I wasn't under the circumstances I was under, weightlessness would have been fun.
The void that I'm in is hard to describe. There's alot of empty- that's for sure. . . but ,it felt like I was free. I could see into places, other worlds I'm assuming. I see people, animals, some strange mix between animal and people, all around me. those places. . . everything moving, everything alive. The space where I'm floating is a whole other place. Empty, dead, the worlds I see are just windows, but if I get close I can feel them, almost be apart of them.
Some of these places seem. . . familiar. But they pass by too quickly before I can tell what they are. The worlds seem to pass by quicker than before, becoming a colorful blur. My hairs whips around my face as I'm sent who knows how many miles per hour through seemingly endless space.
. . .
I finally come to a stop. Well. . . It's a stop compared to how fast I was going before. Finally at a normal speed, I calm myself down. "CAN I GET OFF THIS RIDE NOW?!" I thrash myself about, trying to steer myself in the direction that I came. No such luck.
When I finally exhaust myself of that idea, I stop. Something catches my eye. . . Something too familiar to let go.
There in front of me, beautiful, pristine, peaceful, EQUESTRIA! I promptly start fangirl-ing and screaming. There it was! Right in front of me! I can practically see the ponies right in front of me!
Rainbow Dash was relaxing on a cloud, Apple Jack taking a lunch break, Fluttershy feeding her animals, Pinkie Pie baking a cake, Rarity cleaning the boutique, and Twilight (internal scream) reorganizing a bookshelf. All in separate windows floating around each other.
"Girls!" I yell, hoping to catch one of their attention's. None of them seem to hear me. I struggle to get closer by flailing my arms and legs. "H-HELP?" I plead to them. Nothing again.
"You stubborn horses!" I yell, almost defeated. Suddenly I feel a shift around me, my feet start to be pulled away. My heart skips a beat as I realize what's happening: I'm being pulled away.
"N-NO!" I scream to no one. "PLEASE!" My breath quickens and I reach out to enter into Equestria. I'm still being pulled away-but I have a hand submerged into it. I'm starting to slip. In my panic I grab onto something. "Help me please!" tears start to come.
Suddenly there's a giant shock wave as I'm pushed away from the window. my hand stays clamped to what ever I grabbed onto. Once again I'm on a joyride to nowhere.
It's really fun, you should try it sometime. That was sarcasm. Don't. It's a terrible thing to experience. Being thrown hundreds of miles in a matter of minutes wasn't exactaly my idea of fun.
My stomach starts to feel terrible and my head was spinning. The sound I made stared out as a whine but eventually tumbled into a scream. I shut my eyes and gripped harded onto whatever I was dragging along behind me.
I start to slow eventually. This time it's gradual and allows my stomach and head to calm down. I dare not open my eyes, all that I would see would be useless windows. My hand starts to grow numb, whatever I was holding on to was still glued in my hands.
With a shudder I opened my eyes to see what Equestrian thing I had brought along with me. And there, right there, at the end of my arm, was. . .
A butt.
I stared blankly at it in a deep confusion. Had I brought a butt? I blinked a few times, letting whatever this was sink into my brain. Not any butt, a flank, a purple one. It took me a while to put two and two together. It' was Twilight! Right there! I had grabbed onto her tail and pulled her along with me!
I looked down at my hand and pulled her closer. Her tail was amazing. Every color matched the show perfectly, you could see every strand of hair. I felt it in my hands and just floated there in amazement for awhile.
Now wait a minute. My heart skipped a beat as I realized Twilight wasn't moving. I quickly pulled her closer to me and put a ear to her chest.
Beating, good. Breathing, even better. Okay, she must have been knocked unconscious in that shock wave. Oh poor Twilight. I had just taken her away from her home out into the unknown, and best of all, I have to explain this all to her. Humans, the internet, my little pony, fanfics, bronies, oh this wasn't going to be fun. At least I have all of forever in this void to explain to her. Unless we hopefully get home somehow. But other than that, it might be nice to have someone to talk to in this endless space.
Endless space. . . .
I shock myself back awake. I almost dozed off there for a second. But with all things considered, I really deserve a nap right now. I thought for a second about Twilight. I then tied her tail around my waist so I wouldn't loose her. It was alittle too close for comfort but it felt kinda nice. I like sleeping in bed with a pet dog. I gave one last chuckle at my last comment and drifted off.
* * *
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Oh well I guess I know that Twilight's awake now. And screaming right. In. My. Ear. I know you've just woken up tied up to a hairless money floating thought a vast and empty void, but have some decency woman. Her hooves are going crazy, flailing around in a panic, and her legs are steadily kicking me in the side. "Twilight!" I yell grabbing one of her hooves.
She stops and looks me right in the eye with a look of extreme panic and confusion. "H-how do you know my-?" I cut her off. "Hello Twilight Sparkle, you may not know me, but I know you."
Real sly of me. This wasn't helping calm her down, but I was having way more fun with this than I thought I would have been. "Listen carefully, this is a void that connects universes together. I was pulled out of mine, an in my panic I pulled you out of yours." I said in a calm voice. I had been practicing that in my head the entire time we were speeding though space tied to each other.
She stared at me wide eyed, mouth hanging open, not knowing what to do or what to say. She quickly clamped her moth shut and swerved her head around to take a look at our surroundings. Of out curiousness I did them same. Just more somewhat familiar windows, nothing too interesting. "What- who are you?" She finally spoke up. Her voice was shaky and afraid. "Oh boy do I have explaining to do. . ."
______________________ Yup it's the second chapter and stuff. Longer than the first but still short, sorry, I have a hard time doing long chapters. Thanks for reading. -PuzzledPegasis
I don't know how long we floated there just talking. As I expected, Twilight asked question after question after question after question . . . And I was more than happy to explain them all to her. It took a while to explain the internet and television, and what a fandom is, but I think I did a pretty decent job.
I tried going slow so she could take all this in. I didn't want to scare her with the whole "your entire life is a cartoon and a bunch of grown men watch you" thing. I think the way I explained it was pretty interesting: " The show is just a window into your universe. We can see parts of your life, but not the whole thing.". She seemed to buy it. But it did make me think, if this show had it's own universe, what about the others?
What about comics? What about books, unpublished stories, ideas even! What about fanfiction? Did each one have a separate universe? And with that last question, did I grab the right Twilight? What if I grabbed some deranged pony who'll try to kill me in my sleep? Not likely, but possible. . . "Hey, Are you okay?"
Twilight's voice snapped me back to reality. We had been asking eachother questions and I think I started to drift off for a second there. "You're not looking so hot." "Yeah I um. . . I'm missing home."
That wasn't what I was upset about, but it sure wasn't a lie. I was staring to miss home, my bed, my laptop, my friends. . . How will they know I'm gone? Will they just think I disappeared? I'll just not show up to school anymore, what will happen? What would my parents do? Call the cops? Will there be a search party sent out for me? It broke my heart to imagine my parents and friends waiting for any sign that I'm alive and safe.
Twilight seemed saddened by this too, she looked deep in thought. I could only imagine Spike coming downstairs to look for Twilight and find she not there. He'll probably think she went out without telling. She doesn't come back- then what will he do? The rest of the six will panic, search for her, call Princess Celestia, eventually they'll assume the worst. Will they have a memorial statue in her honor? What will become of the Elements? I shuddered at the thought of all of them depressed and slowly drifting apart without Twilight there to hold them together. . .
I would have to get her back before that happens though. . . I have to. "Twi?" "Yes?" "Do you think you could teleport us back? Or me home?" "I can try. . ."
Twilight gave me and unsure smile and closed her eyes. Her horn started to glow a soft purple that seemed to expand around us little by little. I closed my eyes and braced myself. "Huh?"
I open my eyes back up yo see Twilight equally as confused as I was. "My magic flow just stopped. . ." She looked up at her horn and back at me as if she wanted an explanation. I just shrugged.
Silence hung in the air there as we floated. " Maybe you can't use magic in this place?" I said. We both looked back up at her horn and then back at eachother. " Maybe." she put.
The silence was broken by a strange humming noise. "Huh?" We both said in unison while searching for the source of the sound. "What?" Twi gasped. I swerved my head in her direction to see her horn glowing a bright purple and her eyes wide with confusion.
Without warning there was another huge shock wave that sent both of us flying. I quickly grabbed her tail (which had been untied when we were talking) and wrapped it around my leg. She started screaming and grabbed onto me. And then the spinning started.
Oh not spinning, anything but that. There I was, going hundreds of miles though space one again, but this time being hurled and whipped around. My eyes shut and I thew up. I made sure to face away from Twi, who I think was throwing up as well. I opened my eyes long enough to see it spiraling behind us, ew. I forced my eyes shut once again and drove the image from my head.
Think comforting thoughts Alexis, comforting thoughts I was hard to think at all but I tried to imagine I was on a roller coaster. That failed to do anything though- this was one heck of a rollercoaster.
Windows were whirling around me so fast I couldn't even make out colors. I opened my eyes once again to see something getting closer- we were heading towards a window!
I tried screaming Twilight's name to get her attention, but it seemed she was unconscious again. I looked at the oncoming window with pure terror. What could this world hold? Zombies? Monsters? Murder? I closed my eyes and braced for impact.
* * *
I didn't feel for awhile. My brain registered that I was alive and breathing, but I felt so numb. Slowly my senses came back to me but my eyes remained closed. The first thing that felt was the fact that I was lying down in something, soon after I could tell it was grass. The wind whistled in my ears and the warmth of the sun comforted my body.
I finally forced myself to get up to see where Twilight was. From the look of it, I could tell I was in a park. Somewhere in the distance I could hear cars zooming by. Good. Cars usually mean people. I turned my head around to search for the little unicorn, nothing.
There was a sharp intake of breath behind me. I quickly turned my body in that direction only to find a dog. A pretty big dog if you ask me. It seemed almost the same size as me! And not to mention purple. . . wait. "Twilight?!"
The dog awoke and quickly sat up. It took a second but it finally faced me. "Alexis?!"
We stared at eachother for a great period of time. She's a dog. A dog. Oh what have I done to this poor little unicorn? She's a dog and now were both. . . . Wait a minute. I looked down at myself wide wide eyes. I'm a dog. "WE'RE DOGS!" I screamed out of reflex. She stared at me, eyes blank. I stared back at her, "Twi? Are you-?"
I was cut off by the sound of her falling backwards onto the ground. Fainted again. I think that could cause brain damage if you did that too much, but hey, I'm not a doctor, in fact- I'M NOT EVEN A HUMAN.
I start crying- or the equivalent of crying. I'm not sure if dogs can cry actual tears, but other than that I was crying. I sat there over Twilight and huddled close. I felt so alone. I don't like being a dog. Why am I even one?! What was this place anyway?
I sniff and wipe my nose with my paw. I wobbly stand up on all fours and survey the area once more. Still nothing, although I take this time to look at myself and Twi.
What breed we were I couldn't really pinpoint. Something that looked like a lab, but I'm no dog expert, maybe we're a new kind of dog considering we're aliens. I look over at Twi, her coat seems to be the same color as when she was a pony, her ears are the same color that her mane was. Just a purple dog- clearly nothing out of the ordinary. I looked down at myself, my coat seemed a cream color and I was covered in light brown/red spots.
I sit. What to do?
There was almost nothing to do. Where would we go? Who do we talk to? Can we even talk? I know I could understand Twilight and her me, but did we speak English or did we just hear Dog as English? "Hello?"
I jumped at the sound of the voice and duck my head next to Twi's back. "Hey I'm not gonna hurt you. Are you okay?"
That voice.
"Listen do you need any help?"
No, it can't be.
"Is you friend okay? Can you talk?"
No I'm imagining this.
I hear him approaching me. I slowly bring my head up and into his direction to look. My jaw drops as I see the male dog, clearly older than me and Twi are. He towers over me, giving me a genuine smile. The sliver image of a dog house hangs from his collar. "Um, hey. My name is Lucky."
Oh God it is him. I'm talking to a cartoon dog.
Okay Twi, lets see what I've been missing out on.
I promptly faint.
___________________________________________________ Well thanks for the feedback guys I really appreciate it. If any of you are willing to edit this please contact me. (Oh and, don't ask me why I like to watch Pound Puppies.) P.S. expect short chapters that update often, I'm bad a long chapters~
"I don't know I just found them in the park passed out."
I grumbled and rolled over to my side. "Twilight?" I called out in a yawn. I heard a male voice gasp in front of me. "Look she's awake!" My eyes flew open, and I instantly regretted it. In front of me, sat five dogs with wide expectant eyes. Uh oh. I quickly shut my eyes and turned over with my back facing them.
"Hey you okay?" A male voice asked.
I growled in response and held my paws over my ears. So far this wasn't fun, I really hope this is just a dream..
"Hey! Are you okay?" A different voice asked with more urgency.
I sighed and rolled over feeling defeated. This time I actually took the time to look at them. They were all of different breeds, not that I knew any of them, they stared at me with confusion and concern. Instead of the solid colors and unrealistic appearance I though they would have, they looked like real dogs, everything was normal except their large cartoon eyes which was creepy and cute in the same way.
"Hey." I said blankly.
"Um, Hi." said the dog I saw earlier today. Lucky.
I stared back at him with large emotionless eyes. Meeting Twilight was one thing, but this was weird. I never wanted to come here. This world was almost the same as mine, so I saw no reason to want to be here, but now I am.
Lucky seemed to be getting uncomfortable under my stare. Good. I didn't trust him. My theory on the alternate universes with sadistic murders could also apply with the Pound Puppies. You just take a bite of some dog chow- and then BAM, poison! I'm not gonna comply with these dogs until I know they're safe.
"Is that all she can say?" I heard a male dog say impatiently. I looked over at him: small with big ears and wearing a spiked collar, maybe a Chihuahua? Anyway he seemed unfazed by my stare.
"No." I replied coldly. I really don't trust this one.
The rest of the dogs looked at each other with confused looks. "A-Alexis?" A voice from behind me called.
I spun my head around to find Twilight sitting behind me on my dog bed. She was cowering in the corner, but had a look of reassurance as I gave her a little wave. "Hey Twi, It's seems we've gotten into a bit of a pickle here."
She sat up and took note of our surroundings. "What happened?" She whispered. I just shrugged and looked around as well. It seemed to be the underground base beneath the pound I see in the cartoon alot. The celings and walls were made of dirt (seeing as we were underground) and there were various tunnels with dogs ducking in and out of them.
We looked back at eachother and then at the dogs in front of us, not really knowing what to do. I leaned over to Twilight, "What do we tell them?" I whispered
"They can talk?" She whispered leaning back over to me.
"Oh yeah, I should have told you that. So what do we do?"
"Do we tell them we're aliens?"
"No, they'll think we're crazy!"
"So what now-?"
"Uh, were right here." The chihuahua said cutting us off, he looked unamused and slightly aggravated. Twi and me looked at eachother and then back at them. We were at a complete loss for what to do or say.
I narrowed my eyes at them and placed my arm over Twi's bringing her into a huddle. "Twilight," I whispered low enough that they couldn't tell what I was saying, " We can't trust them. We don't know if they're hostile and stuff." She nodded and we broke the huddle to look back up at them. Still a bit confused. We huddled again. "Just make them think were harmless puppies. Introduce yourself. Act natural." She nodded once again and separated .
I held my paw out. "Hello, my name is Alexis." I gave the best fake smile I could muster up. Lucky held out his paw and shook mine,
"Hello, I'm Lucky."
I nodded and he went on, "Well, let me introduce ourselves, we are the pound puppies," He extended his paw towards the other dogs, they stood up tall and gave us smiles, "We help puppies find their perfect human."
I gave a really weak smile and so did Twilight, and right on time, her stomach grumbled. Before either of us could say anything, we were ushered up to the surface, which was just the usual dog pens. "You guys are probably hungry, there's some food over there." said the female dachshund. Another dog, the large scruffy one, slid over two dog bowls filled with what looked like dog chow. We both looked questionably at it.
"Psst." Twilight whispered, "What's in this stuff? It smells really strange."
I gulped and looked away from her. "Uh well. . . It's meat." I looked back up at Twi who had a look of disgust on her face.
"Well, do I have to eat it? Didn't you say they're were vegetarian people?"
"Well people-yes. But dogs? I don't think so."
"Do you think they have any vegetarian dog food here?"
"I don't think they would, the owner here doesn't care enough for the dogs here to get them anything but cheap dog chow stuff." I say remembering from the cartoon that the head dog catcher wasn't one of the greatest guys around.
Twilight looked at her food and back at me. "What kind of meat?" I stared back down at the food and shrugged.
"Hey what's wrong?" The scruffy dog asked.
"Uh she. . . Doesn't like meat?"
He looked at Twilight confused. My eyes darted around from each dog passing by. I hope we weren't acting too weird. "Psst." I got Twilight's attention and leaned over to her. "Try eating it, only a little. They look like they're getting suspicious of us."
Twilight leaned over and sniffed it, she slowly leaned over and took the smallest bite she could.
"Oh Celestia!"
She yelped as she spat the dog food out of her mouth. She spent a couple of seconds coughing then lightheadedly sat back up. The scruffy dog sat there not knowing what to do. I darted my eyes between the large dog and the dizzy Twilight thinking of what to say. "Uh, she must be allergic to this kind of . . . uh. . . meat. Yeah, she allergic to most types of meat." I improvised.
The dog looked confused, but he seemed to have bought it. "Well, uh. I'll see what other yummy food I can get you. In the mean time, just uh. . . eat some grass." He quickly dove into a tunnel and saw gone.
Twilight breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to chew on some nearby grass. I looked down at my undisturbed bowl of dog chow and bent down to taste it. "Alexis? What are you doing?" Twi stopped me.
I looked at her and back at the food. "What? I'm hungry. And besides I like to eat mean. Uh- no offense to your cow and pig buddies." I gave a nervous smile. She sighed once again and went back to eating her grass. I went back to my food and took a small bite.
". . ."
"Alexis?"
". . ."
"How is it?"
"Umm."
"It's not poisonous?"
"It's actually. . . . good!"
She rolled her eyes and went over to a patch of flowers while I dove into the rest of the food. I was almost done by the time the large dog came back with some marshmallows and a half empty jar of peanut butter. "Hey I got some stuff!"
Twilight did a weird trot over to him, or as much as a trot she could do considering she was a dog not a pony. "Oh! Thank you." She bent forward to take a bite out of a marshmallow before I held my paw out to stop her.
"Excuse me, but where did you get these from?"
"Uh, the trash. Why?"
I looked over at Twi and shook my head. She glanced up at the dog and turned around and began eating some flowers again. He looked confused but dove into the garbage food, eating most of it within seconds. I disgustedly steped back a few feet and stood next to Twilight.
"You know your taking all of this surprisingly well." I said.
"Taking what well?"
"You know, getting ripped out of your universe, becoming a dog, having to take follow the instructions of a human who is now a dog."
"I actually think I'm not really taking this in but, instead just going with what is happening. Mainly so I don't panic and loose my mind, I'm trying not to overthink our situation right now."
"Eh, me too I guess. But I'll be completely honest here, I half think this is all a hallucination from spending too much time on my laptop."
