//------------------------------// // Chapter One // Story: Utters and Unicorns // by LaysPotatoChips //------------------------------// Chapter 1: Farmer Buyer's farm was very quiet that day. Not because of any kind of inconvenience of a big harvest or a big surprise party for any of the animals. No, it was quiet, because everyone was lazing around doing absolutely nothing at all. This, of course, was very uncommon for the inhabitants of the barnyard. Normally everyone would be partying, walking around, or simply chatting the day away. But no, nothing of that sort was happening that day. For Otis and the gang however, it was absolutely maddening. Otis was practically losing his mind over the fact that there was nothing to do. This was evident with Otis continuously pacing himself back and forth down the hall that had all of the animals stalls. Out of complete and utter boredom, he decided to peek in some of his friend's stalls to see what they we're up too. Who's to say, they might be doing something interesting that might quell his boredom. He started with Abby's stall. He looked over into her stall, and saw that she was doing something that he himself wished he could do. Sleep. The evidence of her actually sleeping, and not just staring up at the roof in boredom, was her loud and obnoxious snoring. Needless to say, he didn't bother looking anymore, so he moved on to Pig's stall. Upon entering said stall, he found that it was completely empty. Not much of a shocker there. He then moved on to Freddy and Peck's stall, and found them in a random game of chess, which he absolutely abhorred with every fiber of his being. Next was Bessy's stall, to which she gave him a nice punch in the face for invading her privacy. He expected that, but at least it was something interesting. After giving up, Otis made his way towards a small table with Pip's luxurious three foot mansion on top of it. As he sat down, Pip crawled out of his small house, and climbed up on Otis's shoulder. "You bored man?" Pip asked in his heavy mexican accent. "You bet I am." Otis replied with a grunt "Anything you feel like doing today?" Pip questioned "I honestly don't know. I mean, it's hot, it's damp, and I've got nothing in my head." Otis plopped his head down on the table with a soft thud. He then gave another grunt. Pip climbed down from Otis's shoulder and sat down on his muzzle. "It's not that bad Otis." Pip began "I mean, sure it's kind of boring around here, but something will come up." Just as he was about to finish his sentence, the doors of the Barnyard flew open faster than Roadrunner on Speed. In the middle of the entrance. He had a wide grin stretched across his face, and his pupils were dilated with joy. Within an instant, Pig began running around like a crazy school girl shouting. "IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE!" Pig's incessant shouting and running around managed to not only wake up some of the barnyard inhabitants, but also cause Freddy to jump fifty feet in the air and claw himself on the roof like a scared cat. After a few minutes of jumping for joy, Pig calmed down long enough for him to place a small package on the table that Otis was lying on. It didn't take long for Abby, Freddy, and Peck to come rushing towards were Pig was standing at. "What happened, where's the fire at?!" Abby yelled holding a fire extinguisher "Seriously, what's going on?" Peck asked Freddy was going to say something too, but he let go of the roof, and plummeted about ten feet to the ground. He hit the ground with a hard thud and said "Ow." Otis, Pip, Peck, Abby, and Freddy (after he had recuperated from his incident) all made their way over towards the box. "What is it?" Otis asked, curious. "It's a magic book!" Pig squealed "A what?" Peck asked, cocking an eyebrow "A magic book!" Pig said as he ripped off the paper packaging and pulled out a silver book. The tile of the book was called "The Magical book of Magic Stuff". Pretty simple title. "It's not just any book either, it's real." Pig said opening the book to a random page. "I honestly don't care if it's real or not. Just don't read anything that will cause some, oh I don't know. Portal to open up randomly and take us to another dimension." Otis said sternly "Aperite portas, et terram suavitatis. De mannis draconum formosi minima. De irides, et crustulam, et partes galore. Equestria tellus estote aperiret nobis." Pig chanted "Oh no..." Otis said as his ears drooped "Uhhh. Otis, what's gonna happen?" Peck said worried "Yeah, what's going to happen?" Freddy rebutted "Otis i'm scared!" Abby said holding herself to Otis tightly "Guys relax." Otis assured " This book is most likely some kind of fake spell book that someone made in their mom's basement. I'm sure that this spell has absolutely nothing..." With a sudden "POP" sound, a rainbow colored portal appeared in the middle of the barn. Otis's blood turned cold as the vortex grew bigger and bigger. "Milk me..." Otis said as the vortex sucked him, as well as all of his friends in. Otis, Freddy, Peck, and Abby all screamed as they were sucked into the swirling vortex. They all soon landed with a hard thud in a heavily wooded area of some sort. They all brushed themselves off as the portal disappeared almost as quickly as it had came. Nobody said a word, there jaws just dropped at where they were at.
