//------------------------------// // Foretellers Arrive // Story: Foretellers // by Fear Ripper //------------------------------// (Lan’s P.O.V) The moment God snapped his fingers, everything went to black. One moment, it was like floating around in a dark void, and the next I felt my body land on something plush and feeling slightly refreshed. Turns out I was actually asleep. Was that all a dream? I open my eyes, to found myself looking at an unfamiliar ceiling. I sat up and saw I was asleep on an unfamiliar couch in an unfamiliar house. Around me were my friends and little sister, who were still asleep on the floor. “Where are we?” I asked to myself. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something shine. I turn, to see the Mask of the Unicorn as well as the other masks sat upon a nearby coffee table. “So it wasn’t a dream.” (3rd person P.O.V) The sound of shuffling began to echo through the room as the other four occupants in the room started to wake up. “Agh, my back is killing me.” Alex said as he got up. “Feels like the time I fell off that dumpster.” “Oof! Hey, how come you got the couch!?” Jenny yelled, accusing Lan. “Like I know?! We all just woke up in… where ever this place is. Are we in an apartment?” Lan questioned, looking out the nearest window and seeing a yard, and trees for what appeared to be miles. “Okay, so maybe a house?” “Well that much is obvious.” Dan said stretching his stiff muscles. “But why are we here? This isn’t either of our houses.” He paused as the sight of a manila folder caught his eye. “What’s that?” Lan walked over to folder, opening it and he was surprised by what they held. “These are… transcripts, for a high school? All of us are here, even Rika.” Lan dumped the papers onto a table, and a small piece of paper fell out on top of the documents. “A note?” As per Rika’s request, you are all also enrolled in a school. This house was her asking also, it’s the mansion from Twilight Town, only I made it more of a home and not a base of operations. Sincerly, God. P.S. School starts tomorrow for you kids, and yes, it’s a monday. “Are you kidding me!?” Alex yelled, “We were given awesome keyblades and are probably bound to save this world, and we still have to go to school!?” “Education is important!” Rika declared, accidentally summoning her Keyblade. “Oh… It’s pretty!” “So we can summon them if we will it.” Dan said as he summoned his own Keyblade. “Hey wait a minute.” Jenny grabbed their attention, “What happened to the robes we were wearing?” “I don’t know.” Lan said. “When I woke up all that was here were our masks.” He said holding up his Unicorn mask. Curiosity took control as he moved to put it on. The second it connected with his face, his robes that God had given to him appeared out of nowhere. “Oh, so it works like that then.” Alex said, putting his mask on and his apparel changed as well. “Sweet. Tony Stark has nothing on this.” “Well, it will keep our identities a secret for now. Considering how this mansion looks we are in a relatively modern time like back on earth. Pretty sure five kids swinging around key-shaped swords out in the open would cause a disturbance.” Dan said analytically. “Fair point.” Jenny agreed. “So what's the name of the high school on that papers?” Lan took a second look over the transcripts, and his eyes opened wide. “C, Canterlot high school?!” Jenny gave Kira a deadpanned look, “You sent us to Equestria Girls?” “What? I’ve always wanted to meet the Humane Six. Plus you let me choose, so this is your fault too.” Kira said with a sly smirk. “No more CSI for you then.” Lan said, causing Kira to moan in displeasure. “Either way I don’t think we’d stick out too much here, though if it is like in the movie, then skin color might make us the odd ones out.” “As messed up as it sounds, Lan has a point.” Alex said. “Maybe we can… Well, family in the mlp-vers have similar coat/skin colors, so I guess we can pass for family if we need to.” “But, the documents have all our real last names, should we change that?” Suddenly, the last names on all the birth certificates and transcripts changed to Foreteller. “Well… that works…” “Thanks God.” Jenny said. “Little specific, but works. People here will have all kinds of weird names so nobody should question it. So what next?” Dan asked, looking out the window. “We should probably explore the town. We should get used to our surroundings, and maybe be on patrol for whatever enemies are around.” “On a school schedule?” Jenny questioned. “If the school is anything like the movie made it out to be, we could never be in class and probably still pass the semester.” Lan joked. “As long as we get a free period, or something similar, we can keep up shifts.” “WAIT!” Kira yelled, startling everyone. “Before we do anything else. What about clothes and other stuff. We didn’t bring anything will us.” *Rumble* A sudden rumbling sound came from the upper levels of the mansion. “Man, God sure does like being on cue.” Alex said sarcastically. “In terms of staying under radar we should try and get part time jobs to help keep us looking normal. We can use today to search and hopefully one of us finds something. Pretty sure since this place basically appeared out of nowhere there's no worry about rent or mortgage, so basic bills and food then.” * * * The five Foretellers were strolling along the streets of Equestria Town… They were quite unamused to find that out upon arriving into the actual town. “So where first?” “Cake!” Rika declared. “I want to have the Cakes cake!” “Do we even have money?” Lan checked his pocket, finding ten dollars. “Think it’s good here?” “One way to find out.” Alex said, taking the money and walking over to a random person. ‘Uh, sir? I need change for a ten.” The man looked at Alex and the money. “Oh, sure. Will two fives be okay?” “Perfect.” Alex said as he received two fives for his ten and walked back over to his friends. “We’re good.” After a while of walking, the Foretellers stumbled upon the iconic cafe from the movie they were looking for. “Hm~” Rika hummed as she sniffed the air. “You can smell the sweets from out here!” Without a second thought, the youngest amongst them dashed in. “She is way too excited about this.” Jenny sighed as she and the rest of the group followed Kira into the cafe. “She’s living every little girl’s dream right now, can you blame her?” Dan asks. “I guess not.” The Foretellers all settled in at a table, looking at the menu as they waited for a waitress to take their order. “Hello!” Came a sudden cheery voice. They all looked surprised at the character right in front of them. She had curly, dark pink hair that reached down to her back. Her eyes were a dazzling blue, with an equally dazzling smile on her face. Her skin was a lighter shad of pink. She wore a light pink outfit with a skirt so short Alex was getting a noise blood just looking at it. Her nametag read Pinkie Pie. “How’s it going? I’m Pinkie Pie and I’ll be your waitress. I haven’t seen any of you around here before. Are you new in town? What’s your names? What school do you go to? What grade are you all in? Will you be my friends?” She fired of questions so fast they were barely able to follow. “Uhhh. Strawberry Shortcake please?” Rika asked, bearing a confused look. “All right! So that’s one Strawberry Shortcake.” Pinkie said writing it down on her note pad. “Anything for the rest?” “A Red Velvet cupcake and a glass of milk.” Jenny said. “Cream pie.” Alex said, earning a punch from everyone at the table. “B-banana Cream Pie.” “A slice of the Apple Pie for me. With some Apple juice too.” Dan said. “A Blueberry Bagel with a cup of coffee please.” Lan Said. “Alrighty, I’ll be right back with those.” Pinkie said as she started walking away. “Oh, and to answer your questions from earlier.” Lan said, as she stopped. “Yes we are new here. My names Lan Forteller and these are my siblings Rika, Dan, Alex, and Jenny. We’re going to attend Canterlot High School as of tomorrow. Dan, Jenny, and I are Juniors, Rika is a freshman, and Alex is a Sophomore. Finally, we would love to be your friends.” He finished with a smile. “Oh goodie! I can’t wait to see you all in school then. And Alex,” She said, causing him to freeze stiff. “I’ll get that cream pie out for you.” She winked and left with a slight sway in her hips. “... I think I’m in love.” Alex said, bearing a goofball expression. The rest of the Foretellers jaws dropped in surprise, until they regained their composure. “Well that was surprising. In more ways than one.” Dan said. “Never expected Pinkie Pie to go for a straightforward, pervert like him.” “Hey! I’m not a pervert! I’m a perverted Gentlemen.” Alex rebutted. “Plus, could you blame me. Look at her! Since it was a kids show they never really emphasized their bodies. She’s stacked!” “I admit, they were bigger than mine.” Jenny said. “Wait, WHAT AM I SAYING?!” “I think it’s best we move passed that.” Lan spoke. “So our question is… are we before or after the events of the movie?” “Simple.” Alex said. “We ask Pinkie when she get’s back about a dress shop, say Jenny or Rika are looking for something nice and see how she speaks about Rarity.” Everyone stared at Alex. “What? I am still smart. But… Dan, you ask.” “Why me?” “I don’t wanna risk anything with her.” “And he’s back.” “Hey I’m back!” Pinkie arrived with a tray full of their orders. As she passed the food out, Dan grabbed her attention. “Excuse me, Pinkie?” He asked. “Yessie!” “I was wondering if you know of any nice dress shops around town? Jenny and Rika wanted to go shopping for new clothes.” “Oh yeah! I know a good place! My friend Ra-!” She suddenly stopped and she smile faltered a bit, but it was obvious something was bothering her. “Is there something wrong?” “N-no! Everythings fine! There is a place called Carousel Boutique, just down the road. They have some pretty nice stuff.” She said. “Alright. Thank you Pinkie.” With that she left to do her job. “Well that answers that question. We are before the movie since they are on bad terms.” Alex said with a smug look since his idea worked. He took a bite of his Pie, but something was off as he felt something foreign in his mouth. He reached in, and slowly pulled out a strip of paper out of his mouth. “Hm… it’s her phone number.” “Guess she likes them perverted then. God knows what HER browser history holds.” Jenny said. “Perverted Gentleman!” * * * After the Foretellers finished their meal, they decided to explore more to the city. “Hah~ It’s just how I imagined it to be!” Kira said, skipping along with the others. “I must admit, I do like this city.” Dan said. “It’s not a big city so there isn’t the blaring smell of pollution everywhere, but also quite modern so we aren't stuck in the boonies. “Yeah, and the locals aren’t too bad either.” Alex said with a slight blush on his face. Jenny elbowed him in the side. “Okay lover-boy, you don’t need to remind us, cause it literally just happened. But yeah, this is a nice place. Much nicer than our earth.” “Let’s not forget, this piece isn't going to last long. Our presents here proves that.” Lan said seriously. “We were given these powers to help the people in this world. Plus we know what’s to come soon, since we are here before the events of the movie. Danger could be lurking around any corner.” “AAAAHHHHHH!” A sudden scream was heard throughout the streets of Equestria Town. . .. … “Well at least the irony isn’t God’s doing this time.”
