//------------------------------// // Arrival // Story: Sparkle Green-Green's Trip To Equestria // by flamecid //------------------------------// My name is Corey Amadkor, hi there, I'm 5 ft 7 with blue and red dyed hair and I'm Caucasian, this is the story of how I ended up in a fanfic written by a different version of me. It started when i was on the train home from my video game group's weekly event, I usually drive but was taking the train because my car in the shop was getting maintenance, I was wearing my black and yellow PAX hoodie over a ruby rose t-shirt and a blue pair of jeans, anyway I had my large blue backpack and dark blue and brown satchel, both with consoles and controllers, on the seat next to me, I was the only one on train as it was quite late at night but I didn't mind, i had my iPhone and was reading stuff on tvtropes, suddenly all the lights went out, I stood up, put my iPhone on the seat and grabbed the metal handle on the corner of the seat as it was too dark to see anything, bad idea. As I did grab the handle I felt a surge of electricity and, if I wasn't crazy, something else, followed by the carriage coming to a jarring stop, sending me falling to the floor, too bad there was a metal pole in the way of my head, I would have liked to look outside. Just a short way from Rarity's boutique next to two wooden tables stood Princess Twilight, going through some magical calculations. At the sound of hoofsteps she turned to see Spike running up to her with Pinkie Pie bouncing along in tow. "Oh good, Spike you found one of them. Thank you very much for that." Spike, out of breath from running, simply nodded in response. "Hi, Twilight!" pinkie exclaimed. "Did you need me for something?" "Yes Pinkie, I asked Spike to find you or Fluttershy because you two were the ones to reform him and, as such, the only ones capable of keeping him in line if need be, it seems spike found you before Fluttershy, could you please bring him here? I want to do a magic experiment with his help." "Sure thing Twilight." Pinkie, once again showing that Twilight would never understand how she broke the laws of magic, reached into her bubblegum mane and pulled out a tiny Discord, who then grew to normal size. "WHY, hello there Twilight! What chaotic services can i provide you with today?" crowed Discord, hamming it up as he bowed low, taking of his horns as if they were a top hat. "Hello Discord, I wanted to test the effect of chaos magic on spells, starting with a swap spell on these two wooden tables to see what happens." "Well then! I have just the thing for you my dear princess of Friendship. Discord lifted a claw then drew the outline of a horn ring in the air, then grabbed it out of the air and squeezed it with a glow before handing it to Twilight. "Here you are then, slip this over your horn, I've charged it with chaos magic. As you charge your magic, chaos magic will filter into the spell and add to it." Twilight looked apprehensive and turned to Pinkie. "Is it okay to trust this?" She asked. "Silly Twilight, of course it is!" The party pony said putting an arm around Twilight's neck "Discord KNOWS that if he did anything wrong then I'd happily inform Fluttershy and she wouldn't be happy at all." Discord gulped audibly. "All right, if you say so, Pinkie" Twilight said, reassured as she slipped the ring over her horn, aimed at one of the tables and started charging magic, while Pinkie turned and started whispering, albeit loud enough that Twilight could hear every word, with Discord. "Hey Dissy, is this the part where he gets here?" "I think so my fellow agent of chaos, this chapter IS called 'Arrival'" "Oh yeah it is, can you remember how it happens? It's been so long since I read the story" "Alas, my dear, I cannot, it's been just as long for me, I finished the story before you, remember? All I know is That it's got something to do- oh! she's listening, It's got something to do with the spell Twilight's using but if she learns that he might not end up here at all. " "OH NO! We can't have that, if that happens those ponies who I won't say because it'll spoil it for the readers will miss out on so much happiness if that happens!" "Yes my dear, there is nothing worse than a spoiled plot, don't worry dear readers the mystery will be preserved until you read it in later chapters, for now i hear the sound a plot device approaching, so enjoy." Twilight didn't know what they were talking about but logged away the conversation for reference later and focused on the spell. Just then she heard Pinkie pie shout a warning followed by a large weight hitting her side, probably the party mare herself, hit her side, causing the spell to overcharge and shoot off into the distance, missing the tables completely. Twilight was about to reprimand Pinkie for ruining the spell, only to pause as a red, orange, yellow and white blur whizzed past her and crashed into the tables. Twilight turned and saw the CMC, who had been riding on Scootaloo's scooter and a red wagon, lying in a heap amongst the two tables. "GIRLS!" exclaimed Twilight. "Are you alright?" It was Scootaloo who replied. "Yes miss Twilight, sorry about that, I wasn't watching where I was going. "That's fine girls, I'm just happy you're unhurt." "So that's how it happened." Twilight turned to the source of the Sequitur. "What was that, Pinkie?" "I said, 'I think we should follow where your spell went, it looks like it headed towards the train station." She said, pointing. Suddenly there was a great big flash in the direction Pinkie gestured, followed by a bolt of lightning shooting into the sky." "Perhaps we should hurry." Discord chimed in. "Oh no!" shrieked Twilight, "Spike, go get Fluttershy, there may be injured ponies, and meet us there." By the time the three of them got there the cutie mark crusaders were already there staring, along with two or three other townsponies off to the sides. Instead of the normal pink steam engine there was a big boxy silver carriage trimmed with blue and yellow and what looked like doors that opened sideways instead of outwards, with one of them already slightly opened already. Twilight also noticed that the lightning had glanced some trees leaving some branches in danger of falling. "Keep an eye on the branches above, girls." Twilight warned. After she spoke however, she heard a sound and looked towards the train, one of the doors was opening. The five of them watched as a green unicorn stallion walked out, sneezed and, in the blink of an eye, changed into some kind of biped animal. "What is going on here?" she whispered. When I woke up it was already light outside, ugh, did i sleep on the train all night? Mum and Dad were gonna kill me. I saw that one of the doors was slightly opened, I walked over, pushed it all the way open and stepped outside. And immediately sneezed thanks to do the bright light, damn photic sneezes. After my sneeze I realized the height of my view had changed, I looked down at my body to see what was wrong but couldn't see anything wrong, normal human hands and normal human body. after I looked up I realized I left my glasses on the seat of the train, but could still see a bright and colourful town as well as 3 cat sized blobs, 2 dog sized blobs, pink and purple, and a long thin brown blob, which then proceeded to disappear, appear next to me, painfully touch my temple, then reappear next to the two dog sized blobs and start talking to them. I may have hit my head but, if I didn't know any better, I would have sworn that was Discord just now. I know it wasn't my eyes because I can see perfectly fine within arms length. I didn't have time to dwell on that however because I heard a crack and turned and saw a large branch falling towards the white and purple cat shaped blob. Before I knew it I was sprinting towards the blob and covering it with my body, I must have made it because I felt a sharp pain in my back and was knocked onto my hands and knees. I felt around behind me and found that A my hoodie and shirt were ripped, and they were both my favourite too! And B that I was bleeding from a semi-deep scrape on my back. I didn't have time to get angry about either of those things however because there was a second crack and i felt something hit my head, what was with today and receiving blunt force head trauma. As i drifted out of consciousness I heard some voices. "...No! He's... ...him to Rarity's... ...to be closest to..." Was all I got before black consumed my vision.
