//------------------------------// // I - Rosen Up Your Bows // Story: The Michael Rosen Pony Adventure // by Alfoals Trottenbauer //------------------------------// Ace slowly, and observantly, trotted through the titanic temple. Moss covered the walls and floor. Torches were placed on the ground and burned bright. Ace's hoofsteps echoed through the room. "Hellow, I em Joe Sparkel, Teh best mans aliv. I m mor megikul then Bliglit Spackle" Somepony said behind him in a strange voice. Ace jumped three feet in the air, and darted his head behind him. Ace looked the stallion over, he seemed to be poorly drawn, composed of scribbles. His body was very long, as if he were a wiener dog. "...What." Ace said, more disappointed than confused. "I'm am best mans in worled." Ace continued to trot away and the weird pony disappeared. An ugly old human's face appeared at the wall he was facing. The man was cut off at the forearms. He wore a blue shirt and his hair was grey. He talked in a British accent. "I am the Skyfoogle, the fiercest animal in the world! I eat nothing and spit useless information." The man said. His eyes widened. "Quick! Get out! Get out of here! The Lollipop Lady has escaped!" He shouted. Ace looked behind him again. The same man was behind him, he was cut off at the forearms too, the only difference was he was wearing blonde clip art hair and his shirt was colored pink. "Hello, Michael Rosen. No need to remind you about what happened last time?" "Shut up, stinks! You can't rule my life." Michael Rosen retorted. Lollipop lady launched stop signs at Michael and Michael jumped out of the way. The stop signs exploded when they hit the wall. "Lemonade boys!" Lollipop lady called out. Smaller Michael Rosens with yellow shirts poured out from a wall. "Lemonade! Lemonade! Lemonade! Lemonade! Lemonade!" Exclaimed the smaller Michaels repeatedly. "Oh no, this is horrible!" Michael Rosen moaned. Ace hid behind a raised block. The Lemonade boys surrounded him. Michael looked to his side, finding a metal rod. "Wall bar." He quickly seized it in his hands. "Right! That's it!" Michael Rosen asserted, moving towards Lollipop Lady. Lollipop Lady threw more stop signs. Michael moved behind her and hit her with the wall bar. "Oow! That hurt!" Lollipop lady cried out. "Hoorayy!" Michael exclaimed. Ace raised his head above the block. "Who are you?" Michael asked Ace. "I'm Ace Sparks, why are there so many copies of you?" "What are you talking about?" Michael asked. "Lollipop lady, she's you, but with a pink shirt and a wig!" "I don't know!" Michael bleated. Michael snapped his fingers, seemingly in a moment of brilliance. "Chocolate cake." He smiled. He seemed to be holding some sort of invisible object and was about to eat it. He darted his head to his left and right as if someone was watching. He was about to eat it again, and repeated the process. He finally shoved it into his mouth, chewing mightily on the imaginary cake. Another human entered the temple. He had a purple shirt. "Harrybo." "Yes, Michael? What'd you want?" "Lollipop Lady was in here, but I hit her with a wall bar." Explained Michael. "Right, good thinking." Harrybo complimented. Lollipop lady was on the floor. "Let's go further into this temple." Ace suggested. "Good thinking." Michael responded. The three walked into a narrowing corridor. "Ace, you're a horse, right?" Michael asked. "Yeah, why?" "Yeah, um... I see you're a bit wobbly." "Wobbly? How do you mean wobbly?" Ace asked. "I was thinking you might be a bit bendy." "Bendy? ...I'm beginning to get the picture. Oh yes, bendy, bendy, bendy, snap!" Ace felt obliged to say. Michael Rosen clicked his tongue. "Noice." "How did you guys even get into equestria?" Ace asked, still a bit flustered about humans suddenly coming back from what he thought to be extinction. "We went to the Chocolate Swiss cafe and found a portal. We thought we'd see what was on the other side. Next thing we knew, we saw you." "So you just went into a random portal without knowing anything about it?" Ace asked. "Yeah, why?" "Well, you should probably know more about Equestria. Where do I start... Well, Equestria is ruled by a Princess, Princess Celestia, to be exact. The main sentient race is Ponies, or Equestrians. There are unicorns, like myself, earth ponies, pegasi, and the rarest of all, Alicorns. Every now and then, a huge outcrop of perfect Alicorns burst into Equestria, and we have a dedicated portal which we throw them in... Oh, I almost forgot... The history here is ric-" "Right, along the passage," Harrybo interrupted. "We've got to be careful not to tread-" A loud creaking echoed through the hall. A boulder crashed behind them and started to roll towards them. "Oh nooo!" Michael cried out. "Quick! Get out!" They ran to the end of the passage which got thinner until it was a slit Ace could barely fit through. They escaped the hallway and them boulder crashed into the wall behind them. "Under the desk lid." Harrybo said. A trapdoor rose from the floor. A ladder was inside the shaft under it. They climbed down the ladder and at the bottom were dark tunnels with water at the bottom. The water began to rise. "It's filling up with dirty, soapy water." Michael commented. The water soon filled the tunnels. Ace began to swim upward. The water went above his head. Michael Rosen moved to a switch. "I found the Kitchen Door Handle." He smiled as he pulled it and opened the door. Ace desperately swam into the room as it began filling up with water. A switch was on the other side of the room. Ace pulled it and the water slowly drained. The three went through the tunnel. Another Michael Rosen with a yellow shirt walked through the tunnels toward them. "Brian!" Michael shouted. "Hi everybody! Anything happen today?" Brian asked. "Lollipop lady followed us into Equestria." Michael answered. "Oh, horrible!" Brian replied. "Who is Lollipop Lady, anyway?" Ace asked. "Lollipop Lady is the toenail inspector. If she catches us, we are dead." Michael explained as he hit the back of his neck as a gesture. "That's pretty bad..." Ace responded.
