Five Brits go to Equestria

2: Interesting Introductions

“Ugh, every part of my body, feels like it just went through hell...twice.” groaned Brice as he tried to stand up but found his body feeling oddly heavy. He opened his eyes to see a rocky roof above him and managed to catch something out of the corner of his eye.
“Hey, anybody there?” he said quietly.

A voice called back, “What, who are you, where are we?”, the voice was followed by the faint sound of someone scrabbling on the rocky floor, as though they were trying to stand with difficulty.

“No idea mate, as for who I am you don’t need to know tha...” Brice’s eyes widened in shock as he put his hand in front of his face to see it had changed completely. Instead of it having the normal five fingers and shape it had become more rounded and blue.

“...What does your hand look like right now?” called Brice still staring at what looked like a hoof were his hand use to be.

“My hand?”, the voice called again, “It’s my ha- WHAT THE HELL?!”, the voice echoed throughout the cave carrying with it the panic and extreme surprise, “Why is my hand a...a...hoof?”

“Hello?” Carter shouted out, his body felt damp and cold “Where am I?”

“Oh look, another member for the happy gang.” Brice responded sarcastically.

“So that's one... anyone else? also why am I so furry?”

“Yeah, Mr Motivated over there fell asleep and do me a favor don’t scream when you look at your hand.”

“My Ha- OH MY GOD I’M A PONY”

“I’d say horse but that works, anyways might as well go to sleep or something we've been trying to stand up or sit up anyway we can but it seems like our new “bodies” aren't use to moving yet.”

Carter realized something “Has anyone named Axle appeared here yet? He’s my friend, Also what is your name?”

“I swear the universe is trolling me, there’s two other people here, they haven’t woken up yet though and again my name is my business.” groaned Brice as he tried to flip himself over to see who he was talking to.

“Well, My name is Carter, now I’m gonna try and get some sleep so. when I wake up I expect everyone else to be awake too” Carter rolled over, he wasn't going to be able to sleep, but he might as well rest his eyes while he thinks about things. He noticed something on the side of his body... “HOLY SHIT I HAVE WINGS... er... sorry” After that outburst Carter was quiet as he tried to think this through.

“Jeez, if been turned into an animal wasn't weird enough being stuck with these doesn't exactly help.” thought Brice as tried to fall asleep.

“AH DON’T RAPE ME!” Nathan shouted as he finally woke up. “W-what? Was it just a dream?” He said aloud as he looked around.

“I guess it was real then...” Nathan trailed off as he saw sleeping figures some distance away from him.

“You know, excluding the guy with green hair you've probably annoyed me more than anybody else by waking me up!” called Brice.

“Sorry about that.” Nathan shouted at the aggravated Brice. “ Didn't mean to wake you up.”

“Aye, well that leaves Mr Sunglasses over there to wake up, so care to tell me what your hand looks like since this gag is going to get old soon.”

“My hand? Well, you know it’s my ha - WHAT THE FUCK?!” Nathan shouted as he brought his hand turned hoof up to eye level.

“Okaaaay, mind telling me what the heck is going on, and why I have appeared to lost my hand?”

“Well from what I can gather.....I have no idea.”

“Well that sure was informative!” Nathan said sarcastically.

“Well, I reckon we’re going to be here for a while so tell me about yourself Mr Sarcastic.” said Brice rolling his eyes.

“Well, I guess names are in order first of all. Mine’s Nathan, Nathan Clark. Yours?”

“For the third time today, not saying, chances are this is A, a dream B, a dream and guess what option C is.”

“A... Dream?” Nathan suggested.

“I got my head smashed against a wall by a girl so I’m in a delusional coma.”

“OK then, umm, mind if I ask why you got your head smashed into a wall?”

“Piece of advice Welshman never argue with woman.”

“How do you know I’m Welsh? I don’t remember telling you that.”

“Well you’re obviously from somewhere in Britain and I seriously doubt it’s Scotland or England with your accent.”

“Fair point I guess. So, any idea where we are?”

“Well to avoid stating the obvious I’d wait for Shady McGee over there to wake since he’s near the entrance.” Suggested Brice.

“Alright, guess we’ll just have to wait then... Or we could just wake him up now and ask him.” Nathan pointed out.

“Be my guest, I've tried shouting so you’ll probably have to tap him or something but I wouldn't recommend trying to walk.” replied Brice.

“Why’s that?” Nathan asked as he began to get up... Promptly falling flat on his face as he got a hoof off the ground.

“Well, you've done better than the rest of us, we couldn’t get up....hey looks like Mr blue is waking up now.” chuckled Brice as he watched the Welshman falling over.

“Do you guys mind being quiet, And what do you mean Mr Blue?” Carter had woken up to the two talking

“Not going to lie, I've already forgotten your name.”

“Thanks a bunch”

“If it makes you feel any better I forgot this guys name as well.” said Brice pointing a hoof at Nathan.

“Wait what do you mean you've forgotten? I told you less than two minutes ago!” Nathan
shouted at him for his forgetfulness.

“Moving on from the subject of my bad memory, I’m going to sleep so you two play nice.” said Brice quickly before falling asleep almost instantly.

“Um... Is he asleep already?” Nathan asked the newly awoken Carter.

“Apparently, yes. He is snoring... so I'm guessing yes.” Carter observed the Scotsman.

“So, what’s your name then? Or are you gonna insist that this is a dream and not give it like that guy did?” Nathan said, pointing at the sleeping form of the forgetful Scotsman.

“Well if this was a dream I wouldn't feel cold, or damp... My name’s Carter. It appears we are all from Britain... coincidence?” Carter questioned

“One heck of a coincidence if you ask me. But I’d worry less about how we are all from Britain and focus more on where the heck we are! Not to mention what are we?”

“Well... judging by our hooves I’d say we’re horses. And judging by the colour... Well lets just say, have you ever seen a blue horse?”

“Not a horse no, blue pony? Yes. Blue horses? No.”Nathan replied.

“Are you trying to say what I think you’re trying to say?”

“Simply making an observation, nothing more, you can interpret what I said however you want.”

“Well let us compare, what were you doing yesterday?” Carter asked, wanting to know how everyone got here

“Smacked by a bitch.” mumbled Brice through his sleep.

“Well yesterday... Narrowly avoiding a rape attempt I think.”

“Well last night, as I was going to sleep, i saw a flash... I checked out where it came from and I just found myself blacking out... and I woke up covered in fur and with hooves for hands... Normal day really...” Carter had a hint of sarcasm in his voice

“...You call that normal?” Nathan asked.

“You didn't pick up on the sarcasm did you?”

“What can I say? I’m a dense guy.” Nathan said truthfully.

“Well I’m gonna try and get some more sleep... I’ll talk to you later.” Carter said, laying his newly shaped head on the floor.

“No you’re not.” whispered Brice now fully awake.

“Fuck sleep, I’m gonna go for a walk or something.” Nathan said once again... Falling on his face once more as he got a bit more off the ground than before.

“Sshhh, do you hear that? Something’s outside.”

“Yeah I hear it too...” Carter was awake again, clearly he wasn’t getting any rest any time soon.

The group kept quiet as the sound of approaching hooves got louder and louder but the pace of them slowing down as it neared the entrance.

“Why do I have a distinct feeling this is going to end badly?” Joe called, announcing his presence.

“...IDIOT!” roared Brice as a large group of ponies in golden armor rushed into the cave.

“...Well we’re fucked.” Nathan simply said as he looked at the large group surrounding him.

“Aren’t we always?”, Joe replied sarcastically.

“We don’t even know each other that well.” muttered Brice as the guards split up, four of them trotting over to him.

“Can I just point out our odds here? We can’t get up, don’t have any fighting skills, and we’re severely outnumbered by what are most likely highly trained guards.”

“Or you know, you could always stab....gentlemen...ROLL OUT!” shouted Brice as he began to roll slowly away from the four guards who looked at him confused.

“What the hell are you doing...” Carter was confused

“Fuck that shit, I’m gonna at least try and get out in the proper manner.” Nathan shouted at the ridiculous Brice as he rolled away. Nathan tried to get to his hooves once more, managing a single step before headbutting the guard in front of him by accident and falling over, again.

“Lets be honest we’re fu-” Brice was cut off as he was knocked out by one of the guards.

“We’re what?” you stopped talki-” Carter was also knocked out.

“...Umm, sorry?” Nathan said as he looked up at the guard he had accidently hit, who simply brought his hoof down on Nathan’s head, effectively knocking him unconscious.

“Surely this is police brutali-”, Joe’s sentence was cut off as a guard gave him an extremely hard hit to the head, almost sending Joe across the cave. The guard may have had a been a but too indulged in being allowed to physically attack someone without consequence for probably the first time in a while.

Author's Notes: Hey guys Ice here. So to answer any questions about why Shade is still asleep...well Shade likes to not show up sometimes when we do that chapter. Why didn't we write him awake? Well because him waking up to royal guards would be much better don't you agree?....mostly
