//------------------------------// // The Journal // Story: Equestria_____The Lost World // by Gravestone //------------------------------// Journal Entry March 27, 1914, or Day One AV After vortex I don't know how long any of us were unconscious but the first of us to awaken was the Captain and Ed who I found out later was named Ricky Ricardo. The Captain had located the weapons that were stowed away on the lifeboat unknown to the Mutinous Crew. I looked around and saw that we were no longer in the ocean but on the shore of a lake. We disembarked from the boat to do a little exploring but always maintained a line of sight with the boat and each other. I took off in the direction that I believed to be East taking along my sketchbook and a revolver for safety reasons. I wanted my camera but it would have been too much to carry and if there was any danger I would be able to get back to the others much quicker. As I made my way I noticed that the air seemed so much cleaner and everything was brighter as if it was cleaned. My walk brought me to a large open field. Glancing around I didn't see anything out of the ordinary the grass only came up halfway to my knees so if something wanted to sneak up on me it had to be either really small or flat on the ground. I was about to turn back when I heard a voice calling out. Stopping I listened and again I heard the voice it sounded like a woman's but it was rhyming. I looked around until I saw movement in the tree line a distance away from me. There was a figure and it was calling to me I could make out that it was human well humanish. It stood upright on two legs but the head was totally different. As it came closer I noticed it definitely was a woman or at least female due to the fact it had a large set of breasts and swaying hips as it walked closer. I was mesmerized by its appearance it appeared to be a zebra but like I said it walked on two legs and it possessed hands what caught me the most was its eyes were larger than they face forward like a human. As it was coming closer I took out my sketchbook and began to draw it or I should say she had gold rings on her neck and left wrist a ring in her ear and the clothes she wore were similar to those of the tribes of Africa. "Can you not hear or are you deaf and dumb, I asked where do you come from?" the zebra lady said tilting her head to the side. I did what anyone in that situation would have done I looked at her smiling. "You can talk," Was all I got out before everything went black. I was awakened by the Zebra Lady shaking my shoulder. Opening my eyes I was greeted by the sight of her private parts due to the fact, the lower half of her clothes were nothing more than a skirt. My face flushed I moved to sit up but I felt a hand on my shoulder and the voice of this rhyming Zebra Lady who does not wear anything under her skirt. I will admit that I did become slightly aroused being this was the first time I had seen, that part of a woman's anatomy. Shaking it off I sat up to look at her. "Hello, Miss, my name is Michel Malone may I ask who you are?" Reaching her hand down to help me up she smiled. "I am Zecora Herbology and Rhyming are my game, But I must admit you have a very strange name," She said smiling at me. "It's normal where I come from and my brother and friends don't mind it," I took a good long look at Zecora mentally recording every detail I could I did notice that she was about a half-head shorter than me. My brother Ed stood Six feet even and me being his little brother stood taller by two inches that would make Zecora around five feet eight inches give or take. But the realization of the others made me grab hold of her hand making her blush as I walked back to the boat with Zecora in tow. "Just wait till the others meet you the first indigenous inhabitant," We were just about there when I stopped and dropped down to the ground pulling Zecora with me. Peering over in the direction of the boat I spied a large group of similar creatures as Zecora but these ones were clad in armor and carrying weapons. the other differences were some of them had horns or wings much like the mythical Unicorns and Pegasus. As I continued to watch I felt Zecora pull away from me and stand up. Looking down she smiled before walking in the direction of the armed creatures. I stayed low and observed them only to notice they got a hold of my camera equipment. I just couldn't let them damage it so standing up I called out to get their attention. The Horsepoeplo as I started calling them to look at me before five of them started running towards me with their weapons drawn. I did not want to hurt them or be hurt by them so taking out my revolver I fired two shots into the air. This seemed to do the trick for they stopped advancing the sound of the shots was enough to scare them even Zecora looked shaken. I looked around at the faces of the shocked and confused horsepeople until I came across one of them that looked very different. This female and yes it was definitely female walked out ahead of the others with some protests. She stood much taller than any of them, in fact, she was taller than me. But what caught my eye most was that she possessed both wings and a horn. The other striking features were her pure white fur and hair or, is it a mane yes a mane and tail seem to flow in a nonexistent breeze. One more thing that caught my attention was that she wore a crown that would mean this is one of royalty. Knowing it would be best to stop anything before it started. Without breaking eye contact I placed my revolver back into its holster then proceeded to lower myself on one knee bowing my head. This action was the right move as the horseroyal smiled before walking closer to me. "Rise stranger and I thank you for not harming my ponies with that weapon of yours," She said in a very nice motherly tone. So they call themselves ponies makes as much sense as this world where ever it is. I looked over and saw that Zecora was kneeling as well. I rose and offered my hand to Zecora to aid her. "Thank you, my friend, For a true act of kindness is always best in the end," Zecora said before lightly kissing my cheek. I was about to say something when I heard the sound of a throat clearing. Turning I was staring into the face of the pony royal who was only three inches tall than me but her horn was at least fifteen inches long making her taller. "Greetings I am Princess Celestia and I would like to welcome you to Equestria," The princess said as she gestured to everything around us. "You majesty my name is Michel Malone and...." My friends there out here somewhere probably hiding or they may have found others of you ponypeople," "Your highness scouts report sighting eleven more of these creatures west of us near Whitetail Woods," An Armored pony unicorn said walking quickly over to us. "That's them my brother his wife the professor's Kate and the ship's crew," "Thank you, Captain Armor and I would like to not cause any undue stress on our visitors so if you would have your troops to stand down Mr. Malone if you would come with me," Celestia said as she turned and began walking to what I presumed was the direction of Whitetail Woods. As we walked I still held onto Zecoras hand not wanting to let go out of fear that she would disappear. I don't know why but I feel very comfortable with her near me. The walk took us thirty minutes and during that time I tried to answer as many of the questions Princess Celestia had asked me. The rest would have to come from the others seeing as science was never my best subject. Making our way closer I could see in the distance the eleven others hiding just at the edge of the woods all the guns pointed in our direction. I kept walking still holding Zecora's hand. "Ed, Jenny it's me, Mike you can put your guns down they won't hurt us," I yelled to get their attention still walking towards them. I raised my hand that held Zecoras to show them I was telling the truth. It took longer for the crew members to relax but after Professors Challenger and Summerlee and Kate came out I didn't think they would ever stop talking about how Kate's dad was right. The Captain and his crew collected all the weapons to make sure no one would be harmed. During this time Edward and Jennifer both look at me with wide eyes. "Professors, Ed, Captian Ricardo, Ladies, and Gentlemen Welcome to Equestria," I said stepping to the side for all of them to look upon Princess Celestia who stood there smiling. "As Michel has said welcome to Equestria I am Princess Celestia please let us begin this new adventure as friends," She said in her motherly tone as everyone else kneeled before her. "Please rise all of you as I said I wish for us to be friends," Celestia said as she took hold of Jennifer and Kates's hands. I watched as everyone began to speak as if they were old friends even the crew were talking with the guards. All this time I failed to remember that I still was holding Zecoras hand until I felt a set of lips on my cheek. Turning to look I was mesmerized by the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. "This day is the most exciting to date, But this whole time you held my hand others would think we are Mates," Zecora said blushing as I still was holding her hand. I turned to look at her only realizing she was right but instead of letting go I brought her hand up and kissed it smiling at her. " Actually, I have no problem with that, in fact, to be with somepony like you I could see a wonderful future," I said as the both of us leaned in closer to kiss. But that did not come because my brother just happened to decide that was the time to interrupt us by introducing himself and his wife. During that little distraction, I introduced Zecora to the both of them, luckily Jenny caught on and move the two of them away. when we were alone once more we leaned back in and had our first kiss. At first, I was afraid that it would feel weird, but her lips were as soft as silk and tasted of mangos. Wrapping her arms around my neck I wrapped mine around her waist as our kiss deepened our tounges met and began to dance. Feeling bold with our embrace I moved my hands down to squeeze her toned ass making her moan in my mouth. After the kiss, my hands still cupping her butt. I looked into her eyes. "I've never done this before but for some reason when I look into your eyes I feel that we were meant for each other," I said looking deep into her beautiful sea-blue eyes. "Yes I feel it too, But I do not know what we should do," She said resting her head against my chest. Before I could say anything Edward came back over to inform me the Captian and his crew along with Challenger and Summerlee will be going with the Princess to their capital city called Canterlot. As for the four of us, we will be staying with The Princesses former student and Princess herself a one Twilight Sparkle. I nodded and turned to speak with Zecora but she was gone I looked everywhere until I was called to join my three new roommates only to look back once more before sighing deeply and blowing a kiss into the direction of the forest. After that, I moved to catch up to the others hoping beyond hope that Zecora and I would see each other soon. At the edge of the forest, alone Zebra mare stood with a hand over her heart. "Oh, my love, I know the feeling and there is great truth in your word, But before we mate you must build up our herd," She said as she turned and headed into the forest. We followed the guard that was to lead us to this Twilight Sparkle I mean Princess Twilight doesn't want to upset the royals. We made our way to this small town called Ponyville yes I know but that is God's honest truth. As we enter the town we didn't get twenty feet in when this pink blur came out of nowhere and started asking us all these questions about parties and cake before it disappeared. The guard just said to ignore it and be prepared for a party sometime today to welcome us to town and some other things. As we moved on I couldn't help but notice that there were more women I mean mares than stallions and what was a little concerning was that every mare we passed looked at Edward and me with lustrous eyes. Jennifer saw this and pulled Ed closer to her making the mares staring at him then turn and look at me. The only thing I wanted was to get to the Castle of Friendship and just sit in my room and think about Zecora. I was brought out of my thoughts when I was knocked to the ground. I don't know who it was but there were four bodies on top of me and one of them had her yes her rear end on my face another was sitting on my lap. The other two were on my chest and legs all four of them were arguing about how falt it was for the accident. After some help from Ed and Jenny I was finally able to stand up I was going to yell at who hit me seeing as I was again becoming aroused by all the bodies on top of me. But when I turned around and saw who it was, I felt the same way as I did with Zecora. The feeling that I was meant to be with the four of these girls along with my zebra mare. "We're awfully sorry about that but we kind of lost control and well you know the crash," Said the one that was a unicorn. She had white fur and pink and purple mane and tail with the greenest eyes. I looked at the other three. The one standing next to her had yellow fur with red mane and tail with orange eyes she was as they call them Earthponies next was a pegasus girl with orange fur and darker pink mane and tail the last one was a lizard no she was a dragon, dragoness her scales were purple and he underbelly was light beige she had green spikes the went down her head all the way to her tail and her eyes were the emerald green. I couldn't help but stare at them and they were doing the same to me until the guard cleared his throat. This made us all blush and laugh. Without thinking I pulled out my camera and snapped a few pictures of them only to have everyone look at me strangely. I know this is Smolder but she looks better as Barb. "Putting my camera away I looked at the four and smiled. It's alright no harm done my name is Michel, Michel Malone," I said bowing my head to them. "My name is Sweetie Belle," The unicorn girl said in a very cute squeaky voice. "Well, hoody my name is Apple Bloom or just AB," The redhead said smiling. "Sup names Scootaloo," The Pegasus girl said trying to act tuff. "Hello my name is Barb, Barb Sparkle," She said reaching out to shack hands with me. When our hands touched I felt a spark the same one I felt with Zecora. I had to see if it was a fluke so I reached out and shook the other girl's hands and felt it each time. I didn't know what it meant at the time and if I did I wouldn't have believed it. We continued our walk but with four more as the girls chose to come with us seeing as Barb lived at the castle Twilight and Spike. Who happens to be her mother/sister and her older brother. I say this about Twilight as it seems she hatched both of them from an egg for her entrance exam into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. This made her their surrogate mother and like it, she was a child herself she was their big sister also. As we walked the girls asked me about everything they could think of. So I told them about where I lived in New York City which they said they have a city like that called Manehatten. And I told them about my trip to London for Edwards and Jennifer's wedding I also let it slip I lost my job at the paper. Only for Ed to turn around and start yelling at me about being so immature and forgetful. This caused us to have a heated argument in the middle of the street. It took Jennifer to calm down my overreacting brother but for me, it took all four of the girl's Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle was holding onto my back while Barb and Scootaloo were holding my front. The girls were strong enough to keep us apart long enough for us to calm down. Ed apologized for what he said and I did the same for not telling him about my former job. "I do hope this is just how family treats each other and not all humanity?" A new voice spoke making us all turn to see Princess Twilight Sparkle. "Actually, this is pretty tame compared to how most of the way humanity treats each other I'm afraid to say," Kate says looking down at the ground. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," Twilight said folding her ears back. "It's not all bad there are many people who want and treat others with love and respect also," I said trying to lighten the mood. This helped out a lot as the Princesses mood changed and began to introduce herself and her number one assistant Spike. I watched as the dragon who stood as tall as I am greeted everyone and when he met Kate I could see a twinkle in both their eyes. The same thing could be seen in Edwards, Jennifers, and Twilight's eyes. I couldn't help but wonder if it was the same feeling I had with Zecora, Sweetie, AB, Scoots, and Barb. I decided to just do some old fashion sleuthing just like any good reporter would do. I watched as Spike headed off to the kitchen followed by Kate to make everyone some supper seeing as it was getting late. Twilight escorted us well she only said Ed and Jenny's names to the library. I followed just so I had something interesting to write about. And It was we found out that Twilight and her friends defeated the evil form of Princess Luna called Nightmare Moon. Note to self-learn about all the princesses. They also beat a guy called Sombra reformed Chaos being named Discord crushed creatures called Changelings and this magic absorbing monster called Tirek. I will say this if they did all this God help any human country or army who wants to take over this place. We or I should say they meaning the three very close friends discussed many things all I did was take notes just as Twilight was doing. Everything about their world and everything about ours. I did find out they were in some aspects further advanced in technologies than us and we were more advanced in weapons. This was apparent with them using swords, spears, and some basic flintlock muskets. I learned from Barb that they only came in to being about five years ago but there are only about three hundred in all Equestria. Maybe Captain Ricardo might want to show them some better weapons. Unknown to any of us at that moment in Canterlot Captian Ricardo and his crewmates were being locked in the dungeon for trying to steal from the royal treasury. Challenger and Summerlee were both spared this due to the fact they helped the guards in capturing the as Summerlee called them No Good Scoundrels. To show we were not like the others those two gave the Princesses all the weapons except for two Enfield rifles and two 1911 colts pistols with enough ammo to last us a few months on our own. Like I said we discussed many things all this time I also watched how Ed Jenny and Twilight were acting around each other as for Kate and Spike they seemed to act as if they were newly dating always taking quick glances when no one is looking. I would have said something if it was not for the way my brother and those two were acting. Edward was sitting in th middle of the couch with either girl on his side looking through a large book or they wanted others to think that when what was really happening was each of these ladies had her hand on each of his thighs stroking it. I believe it would have gotten worst if not for Spike notifying our supper was ready. I don't know what was happening but I felt it two but for some reason, Barb, Sweetie, AB, and Scoots weren't acting like that, oh, they were very affectionate by way of staying close to me and placing a hand on my shoulder or giving me a soft hug or kiss on the cheek but nothing more. It wasn't till after we finished eating that I knew something was wrong. Twilight offered to show Ed and Jenny to their room for the night as Spike was showing Kate hers. Scoots, Sweetie, and Ab had to go home for the night so Babs was going to show me my room as we walked down the hall I would look over at her. She was very attractive but she kept her distance always looking like she was shy blushing ever so often. Our walk could have lasted forever and I wouldn't have been upset about it but we did finally arrive at my room. Barb did tell me that her room was just across the hall if I needed anything at all. She emphasized the anything at all part by stepping close enough to press her sizable chest against my own. Thanking her I quickly entered my room hoping that she did not notice the tightening in my trouser area. I don't understand what has come over me all of the sudden. I mean I never was this lucky with the ladies back home. But when I met Zecora things changed, my thoughts went back to that moment the way she looked her smell how I wanted to lick and pound her pus... Ok, I really need to calm down or I never get to sleep. Speaking of sleep the bed was so soft one would think it was a cloud later I found out that's what they actually were. I decided to get ready for bed but I wanted to clean up first finding the bathroom I looked inside to see a very spacious shower. Striping out of my clothes I climbed in the water came on by its self and it was at the perfect temperature. I began to clean up getting all the day's dirt and smell off me, finishing up I dried off and got into my nightclothes which consisted of boxers, and proceeded to fall asleep still thinking about those five young women I met earlier today. If I had still been awake and had set foot outside my room I would have heard two different conversations from down the hall. One between Ed, Jenny, and Twilight and the other a very steamy one between Spike and Kate. The first was Twilight tearfully excepting that Ed and Jenny both had chosen to start a herd with her and telling them that her friends might also like to be part of it if they wouldn't mind of course. The second was less of a conversation and more of the sounds two individuals make in the throes of passion. I will not pry into the love lives of others for what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom. All I know is this world is different in many ways but that is what makes it better the only things that concern me are how will I be able to take care of myself let alone five more and if it is possible for us to what would our children look like and would this world except them. Only time will tell, I will keep this journal as long as I can but if Kate is right then the portal will open up again in thirty moons, and then there will be a decision to maybe stay here or return to Earth. I just hope I make the right choice.
