> Failure > by Streekersheep > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Friendship is magic part 1 Fey's version > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come here. Let me tell you a tale unlike that of you have heard before. Everyone knows the Mane Six and there great deeds, but no one knows why they really succeeded. Our story starts the night before the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration, at the very edge of Canterlot..... Failure looked down. She knew what she wanted to do and why but she also knew that this was a very important decision to her. "Fey, wait!" Her Brother screamed as he caught up. "Things don't have to be this way!" "Yes it does. I'm done with this bullshit. The only good thing in my life is you and now that your being taken away from me, I'm done." Failure said as her voice started to waver. "That's not true. I will still have time for you just a little less. And you still have our sister and parents." Her brother said with worry. "I have looked at your work schedule, your going to be busy all the time. And I know you know our parents hate me, I mean who would name their offspring Failure. And as for my sister, she seems to ignore me. I don't even think she knows I exist." Fey ranted. There was an awkward silence that followed. "So..... This is it then? There's nothing I can do to change your decision?" The brother asked. Fey just shook her head in response. "Then I'm not going to watch" he said as he turned around. "Hey, do me a favour and don't tell anyone about this. Your the only one who will actually notice I'm gone. Goodbye!" Fey shouted as she jumped off the edge of Canterlot and started her long fall towards the bottom of the mountain that Canterlot was situated on. Fey's brother ran back towards the house and got inside, because of this he didn't hear the shouts coming from the bottoms of the mountain. "SON! OF! A! BITCH!" Fey screamed in agony as she rolled down the hill. When she reached the bottom she slowly got up as she muttered. "Wow, I can't even commit suicide right." Just then a Manticore leaped out of the forest. "Well, at least I get to have some fun while I die." If there was anything Fey loved more than her brother, it was fighting. She always lost which is probably why she still didn't have her cutie mark and she was sixteen. Since she was the only earth pony in her family, she taught herself how to stick up for herself. The Manticore leaped at Fey but she simply slid underneath and jumped on its tail. She then proceeded to run up to its head and started punching at the top of his head. The Manticore ran into a tree, knocking Fey off. The Manticore then leaped onto Fey and started using its claws to tear at her stomach. The Manticore's paws and Fey's black fur turned the same color as Fey's mane, blood red. Fey felt herself losing consciousness and was quite happy that she didn't need to deal with life anymore. Just before everything went black there was a flash of white and the clawing at her stomach stopped. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Eve of The Summer Sun Celebration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fey slowly opened her eyes. There was a sharp pain in her stomach but she didn't really care. Everything was bright, she was finally in heaven. As her eyes adjusted she looked around and saw that heaven looked a lot like a hut in the middle of the forest. "I'm not dead, am I?" Fey said in a disappointed tone. "No, the Great and Powerful Trixie saved you." A voice came from Fey's right. "The Great and Powerful Trixie blasted a Manticore off you while it was trying to kill you." The same voice said. That talking in the third person thing is going to get really annoying. Fey thought. "So I'm going to assume your name is Trixie. What day is it and where am I?" Fey asked. "You are in the hut of a zebra named Zecora, she helped heal you. As for the date, it's the Eve of the Summer Sun Celebration." Trixie answered. "Where is this Zecora now?" Fey asked. "She is out, collecting more herbs to restock the potions she used on you. The Great and Powerful Trixie hasknown Zecora for a while, not very many people like her, the Great and Powerful Trixie is her only friend." Trixie said. "Well I'm leaving." Fey said as she got up, ignoring the pain coming from her stomach. "The Great and Powerful Trixie was told to watch over you, so The Great and Powerful Trixie is coming with you." Trixie said as started heading towards the door. "Fine, as long as you stop talking in the third person, that's fucking annoying." Fey said. "But this is how the Great and Powerful Trixie talks." Trixie said. "It's not how you talk if your going to be around me, I don't care how great and powerful you are just fucking stop." Fey said as she came close to Trixie in an attempt to intimidate her. The intimidation worked as Trixie back away and mumbled. "The Gre- I will try." And with that, they left the hut. Maybe I should go to this Celebration. My parents didn't let me go when they still claimed ownership to me. Fey thought as they started heading towards the edge of the forest. It was getting late and the celebration would begin soon. Suddenly a Timberwolf leaped out of no where and tackled Trixie but before it could get a single bite in, it flew off and lit on fire. "Wow maybe you are powerful Trixie." Fey said in surprise. "That wasn't me, those flames came from that." Trixie said as she got up and pointed at a strange rift that had appeared in front of them." "You don't see that everyday." Said Fey as she took a defensive stance and waited fro something to come through the rift. Soon a green Pegasus pony with a brown and good mane walked through the rift. This pony was strange not just because he came through a random portal but for some reason this Pegasus walked on its hind legs. "Who are you!" Fey barked. "I am a being from another world who has been sent to help. I was first sent to a strange world to steal something quite important to a gang of thieves so that I may give the items to you." The bipedal pony held up three thing that looked like binoculars. "Aren't those just regular binoculars?" Trixie asked. "No, these are called binocucoms. They will allow you to not only see long distances like regular, but they will allow you to communicate with the other binocucoms." The strange pony said as he handed the strange device out to the ponies. "Why are there three?" Fey asked as she accepted the fact that she was holding a piece of equipment that wasn't supposed to exist in this world. "A third girl shall join you two, she shall fall down from the sky." The strange pony said. Just then a grey Pegasus with a blonde mane fell out of the sky. "Okay, let me rephrase that, a third girl shell join you two, she shall fall down from a cloud of darkness. Goodbye for now, we will meet again." The bipedal Pegasus said as he went back through the rift. "Well that was strange. I wonder if these things really work." Trixie said as she looked in to one end of the binocucom she was given. "They probably do." Fey said as she looked at the closing rift. When the rift finally closed two saddle bags dropped from where it once was. "Okay this is just fucking weird." Said Fey as she went over and collected a saddlebag and put the binocucom in it. "Anyways, I kinda want to go to the celebration. Are you coming?" Fey asked. "Sure, the Gr- I have nothing better to do." Trixie said as they headed towards where the Celebration was supposed to be held. When they finally got there, the festival had already started. But instead of Princess Celestia on stage, there was a black alicorn standing on stage. "Remember this day ponies, for it is your last. From now on the night shall reign supreme!" The alicorn then burst into a fit of Evil laughter. "Did she just say that there will be eternal night from now on?" Trixie asked. "Essentially." Fey replied. "We have to stop her." Trixie told Fey. "I know." > Friendship is magic part 2 Fey's version > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previously o- Can we skip this shit, I kinda want to know what happens. Fine, I knew you see impatient but sheesh. On with the story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A brown mare with a grey mane jumped forward. "Stop her, she is the only one who knows where the Princess is." Three guard Pegasi followed her command and flew at the dark alicorn but were quickly shot down by lightening that came from the alicorn's horn. The alicorn laughed some more before turning into a cloud of stars and flying off. "We should follow her." Fey told Trixie as she ran to the door. Trixie followed quickly. It took a miracle but somehow the two managed to keep up. Eventually the cloud split, a smaller cloud deviating from the path while the larger kept going. As they followed the cloud, they ran into a ledge and quickly jumped down, right in front of a manticore. The manticore roared but as soon as it saw Trixie it backed off. "Is that the creature I think it is?" Fey asked Trixie. "If your thinking its the creature I saved you from then probably." Trixie stated as they kept walking. Soon they heard a loud yell and then looked up. Fey jumped out of the way as a Griffon fell out of the dark cloud and almost landed on her. "What the hell!" Fey yelled as she turned to the griffon laying on the ground. "That sucked!" Yelled the griffon. Suddenly Fey remembered the mysterious Pegasus' words. "Hey, what's your name." Fey said angrily as she was still calming down from being flattened. "Why should I tell you?" The griffon said back. "I need you to come with us." Fey said as she calmed down. "Why should I come with you losers." Said the griffon in a childish tone. "Well we are going after whatever is controlling that dark cloud. If you want revenge on that cloud, I would suggest that you stop being a bitch and come with us." Fey said as she turned away. "I will get revenge on that cloud myself without you losers, and when I do it will be sorry, it will remember the name Gilda." Said the griffon who's name was apparently Gilda. "We will see how far you get with that damaged wing of yours." Trixie said finally. "How do you know my wing is damaged?" Gilda asked out of suspicion. "It's kind of obvious." Trixie said. "I will heal it if you come with us." "Fine, I can't believe I'm stuck with you losers." Gilda said as Trixie started healing Gilda's wing. "Now I'm not a doctor but you should at least feel a little better." Trixie said as she backed off. "Here." Said Fey as she tossed Gilda the extra binocucom and saddlebag. "I don't want anything else from you losers." Said Gilda with a sneer. "Just fucking take them. And learn to curse properly." Fey said as they started to continue their walk. Soon they reached a river. After the confrontation with Gilda they had lost the cloud. Sitting on a rock by the river was a familiar looking green Pegasus standing on a rock. "I see you have found your third. Good." Said the Pegasus. "Who's this loser?" Asked Gilda. "Gilda, what did I tell you five minutes ago." Said Fey. Gilda remained silent. "That's what I thought. Anyways, you said that you only show up when we need you to. Why the fuck are you here. Or more importantly, what the fuck should we call you?" Fey asked. "Although it's not my real name, you may call me Jesus." Said 'Jesus' "As for why I am here, you have lost the cloud and need to cross this river." 'Jesus' whipped his wings around and suddenly two whit surfaces appeared, one on either side of the river. 'Jesus' pulled out a strange device and shot an orange beam at one surface and a blue one at the other. "Jump in." 'Jesus' commanded. Fey, Trixie, and Gilda cautiously jumped into the strange orange circle and flew out of the blue one, they were now on the other side of the river. "Head straight forward and you will find a bridge, on the other side is your destination!" 'Jesus' yelled before stepping into a nearby rift that he just opened. "So he is a magical Pegasus that walks on two hooves and has magic. Greeeeeaaaaattttt." Gilda said slowly as they started to mobilize again. Eventually they reached the bridge and began to cross. At this point they heard a lot of screams then what sounded like singing and laughing. As they got about halfway across the bridge, three Pegasi wearing weird spandex suits came out of nowhere. "You shall not pass." Said one of them as they quickly cut the rope holding up the bridge. Just before they fell, Fey, Trixie and Gilda leaped forward and latched into the three Pegasi, dragging them down. It was a pretty long fall and they were fighting the whole way down. Fey quickly punched her opponent in the chin, knocking the Pegasus out in one swift move. Gilda had it easiest as she clawed at her opponent while holding the Pegasus still with her wings. Trixie was having a hard time though, getting punched rapidly with no time to retaliate. The Pegasus knocked Trixie out and kicked her to the side, where Fey and Gilda quickly manoeuvred to. The three Pegasi will all awake again and flew back up to the top laughing. Fey and Gilda were forced to wait for Trixie to awaken. When Trixie finally woke up they started trying to work their way out of the giant canyon they had fallen into. "I can't believe you got taken down so easily- it just occurred to me that you never told me your names." Gilda said. "I'm Fey and this is Trixie. Now can we focus on getting out of here?" Fey asked. Eventually they got out of the canyon and spotted a building with the windows flashing. "That's probably where we need to go." Fey said as she walked towards the old building. The three girls thought the front door was too obvious so they snuck along the side of the building on a ledge that was big enough for a manticore to stand on. Fey peered into a window and saw the out line of six mares shooting a rainbow at something. There was a bright flash and what happened next happened too quickly for Fey to think. A timberwolf with scorch marks on its side ran into Trixie and knock her off the edge but she managed to hang on by her front hooves. The timberwolf then leaped on to Gilda's back and started biting at her back. Fey did what her instincts told her to and tackled the timberwolf off Gilda and off the cliff, Gilda slumped over unconcious. Fey was falling off the cliff they were falling off before. She quickly remembered Trixie was still in trouble so Fey kicked the timberwolf back up. The timberwolf hit Trixie from bihind and sent her flying to safety, she landed right next to Gilda as the timberwolf fell down the cliff again. Fey fell as the sun rose. All Fey could think was I guess I'm getting what I originally wanted. Fey braced herself for the extremely long fall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the six mares left, Celestia and Luna were talking when Luna said. "Do you feel that magical presence, it's stronger than a unicorn?" "If you are talking about the elements then of course I can." Celestia answered. "No, this is different. I can summon it here if that's okay." Luna told her sister. "As long as it means no harm, it should be fine." Celestia said as Luna's horn started to flare. Suddenly there was a bright flash and before the princesses were a sad looking unicorn, and unconscious Griffon and a disappointed looking earth pony. "Why can't I just die. Quit teasing me." Fey mumbled before she saw the Princesses. "Who the hell are you." "We are the princesses who rule this land and you will watch your tone." Said Celestia as she healed Gilda. "According to my sister, a magical power emanates from you three." Luna stepped forward and said. "This power is stronger than that of a powerful unicorn so it can't be just coming from you." Luna said as she pointed a hoof at Trixie. "And the magical power coming from you is because some of my power transferred to you when I ran into you." Luna now pointed at Gilda. "That was you?!?!" Gilda asked angrily. "That was besides the point." Luna said when she saw how mad Gilda was getting. "But your an earth pony, how do you have any magical power?" Luna asked as she pointed at Fey. "Maybe it's because my family is composed of nothing but unicorns?" Fey thought out loud. Luna and Celestia gasped as they had seen this situation only once before. "Sister we must do some research. For now, we need you three to watch over the six mares who were just here. Their names are Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie pie, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle." Fey cringed when the last name was said. "Do not let then know you are watching over them though." Celestia finished speaking. "Alright, I get to watch over Dash? She used to be my best friends." Gilda said with excitement. "Count me in to, I might be able to have a little fun with this." Trixie said. "Fuck it, count me in to." Fey said. They all started to leave but Fey called back so the princesses could tell her something in secret. "Do not let your sister see you, your supposed to be dead remember? You may go catch up to your friends now, we will keep in touch." Luna said as her sister started to whip up a teleportation spell. Fey ran into her friends outside the old building. "I can only say one thing girls, this is going to be fun." Fey said as they started to head out of the woods. > The Land Lord > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Five days after Luna was saved. -------------------- Luna was leaning over a book. She was weary and her eyes were bloodshot. She had been researching for five days straight. She knew she had seen this just before she was locked away, but the memory eluded her. Finally Luna found the page she was looking for. She quickly wrote a letter and sent it. Luna really wanted to go to bed but it was night time, she would have to wait a while before she could get her sleep. -------------------- The morning before. -------------------- Fey awoke to the sound of Gilda yelling about something or other. "We can't stay here anymore, I'm tired of sleeping on the floor." "If that is what you must do, then go ahead and move." Zecora said. For the past few days Fey, Gilda and Trixie have been living in Zecora's hut as it is the only house close enough to Ponyville that will allow them to continue their duties of watching over the mane six. Since Zecora only has one bed, Fey, Gilda and Trixie had to sleep on the floor. "I'm going to have to agree with Gilda on this one, we need to find a place where we won't wake up stiff every morning. This is a nice place Zecora, it's just not big enough." Said Trixie as she got up and cracked her back. "We will search for a house today then, but who's going to watch over the six?" Asked Fey as she repeated the same motions as Trixie. "I do believe its Gilda's turn this time." Trixie said. "Fine, but you two better pick a good house." Said Gilda. "It's settled then, lets get going Trixie." Fey said as she walked out the door. -------------------- Fey and Trixie visited town hall and grabbed the only three advertisements there. "So where is our fist stop?" Fey asked. "It should be right here." Trixie said as she checked the directions again. They both looked up and say a large field of apple trees, a house, and a barn with a sign on it that said Tenants Wanted. "Aw hell no, I'm not sleeping in a barn. We need a real house." Fey said as she turned around. "Where is the next house?" "It's fairly close." Trixie replied as she caught up. After a bit of travel and a random rain storm, Trixie and Fey arrived at the nest house which looked very strange. They knocked on the door and a brown earth pony answered. "What do you want, I'm kind of doing something important at the moment." The pony said. "We have been looking for a place to stay and found an add that said you had a big basement for ponies to stay in." Fey said. "Ah, yes that. Come on in and I'll show you around." Said the pony as he turned around and guided them in. There were strange gadgets everywhere but no one really cared. "And here is the stairwell leading to the basement." "Ok then lets have a look." Fey said as she started walking down the stairs but was stopped at the bottom by two Pegasi statues that were facing each other. "What are these things?" Trixie asked as she also reached the bottom of the stairs. "Oh, I forgot about those. Make sure they are always facing each other." The pony said fairly calmly. "Why?" Asked Trixie. "Do you want the truth or a lie?" The brown pony asked. "The truth would be good." Trixie said. "Well in all honesty, if they are not facing each other and your not looking at them, they might just kill you." Said the pony nervously. "I think we're done here, good-bye." Said Fey as she started to think the pony was crazy. Fey and Trixie started looking for the third house but found it didn't exist. It was night time and they were very mad. "Who puts an add for a house that doesn't exist." Trixie said angrily. "Whatever, we should go back to town hall and-" Fey was interrupted by a bright flash that came from Trixie's hat. "What was that?" "It's a letter from Princess Luna." Said Trixie as she pulled the letter out from under her hat and began to read it. Dear Fey, Trixie, and Gilda. I've done some research but all I have found so far is that you three can be apart but are strongest when your together. Try to stay together the best you can. I will do more research in a few days after I get more rest. Oh and I thought maybe you could use a better house. Included is a map to a house you three may stay in. Sincerely, Princess Luna. The map slid out. "Sweet, let's go. We will call Gilda when we get there." Fey said as she picked up the map. -------------------- "So Gilda, how was your day?" Trixie asked. "Well I got to see a lavender unicorn get pestered over a stupid ticket. That was kind of entertaining." Gilda said as they entered the house that was on the outskirts of Ponyville. Inside they found all of their stuff was already there. On the top of the luggage were three golden tickets. "What are these for?" Fey asked. "From the looks of it they are tickets for the Grand Galloping Gala." Trixie said calmly. "That's cool I guess." Fey said. "We should all get settled in, and Gilda you should read this." Said Fey as she handed Gilda Luna's letter. All three of them took their stuff and left for their rooms. Fey took her only bag to her room and sat down. She opened the bag to find just a letter that said If you want to know who I am you will come to the Everfree forest in three days.
