//------------------------------// // El Principio (The Beginning) // Story: Puss in Boots goes to Equestria // by Stoneificaunt //------------------------------// Let me tell you my name, It's El gato con botas which stands for Puss in Boots. Before I met the ogres Shrek and Fiona I was a bandito(Bandit) an outlaw. But I was wrongly accused, you see I was betrayed by my hermano(brother) Humpty Dumpty. Because of that ese blanceo(That Egg) I had to abandon my home. After my recent adventure of finding the golden egg laying goose, I had saved my home, but lost a hermano(Brother). For a few brief moments he was my old hermano(brother) again.*sniff*I miss him even to this day. But I digress, I am straying off tema(topic). Let me tell you of how my story begins. It was like any other day in the desert; I rode my noble steed across it fleeing from guards, bounty hunters, soldiers, and even little girls. But on this day I discovered a new world, the world of Equestria. When I discovered this new world, I was in a chasm by the mountains. What I didn't know, was that the chasm was once a temple to some random sun god. There were many treasures in the temple. I wish I had taken some, for then I would be a very rich kitty. While I was in the temple I found an artifact, It looked like a golden Pegasus but had a horn on it's head. I touched the artifact not knowing what it would do for it did nothing. I had decided to take the artifact for it would fetch a very good price. While I was exiting the temple My caballo(Horse) was gone and was replaced by a ethereal Pegasus with a horn on it's head it was muy hermoso(Handsome). I pondered whether this artifact had replaced my caballo(horse) with this Pegacorn. A mix between a unicorn and a pegasus. I decided to put the idea aside and go home. I was reluctant at first but the pegacorn was indifferent to my approach. I then got up on it's back and prepared my self for a wild ride. The pegacorn just stood there and then turned around and trotted slowly. I tried making the pegacorn go faster but it just trotted slowly. I knew there would be some time before I get home so I decided to take a nap. I should not have though for when I woke I was in a forest with dense tree's. And I found a circular golden medallion around my neck with a ruby center. I marveled at the medallion then I noticed someone had stolen my Golden Pegacorn statue. Along with my Golden Pegacorn horse. I was outraged, I was hysterical, I was completely unaware of where I was. Was I even in mehico anymore? Regardless of where I was, I still had one goal to prove my Innocence in this new land so that all of its people will know that Puss in Boots was not a bad Gato(Cat). I had wandered for days in the forest not knowing of where I was going. It was beginning to become nightfall and it seemed to add more scariness to the already spooky forest. But I was El Gato Con Botas(Puss in Boots) I feared nothing. I pressed onwards, after a half hour of walking I saw light in the distance. Finally I reached civilization, it looked like a celebration was going on when I reached the center of town I saw and thought my eyes are deceiving me. Everywhere throughout the whole town I saw colorful Ponies. Ponies that seemed to be able to talk, now granted I have met a guy who knows a gato(cat) who knows a perro(dog) who knew a talking horse. But I thought that was just them being silly. But now here was the proof that they needed for talking horses, they were absolutely derecho(right). As I wandered into the town I was very sneaky for I didn't know if they would try and trample me. I stuck to the shadows like a thief would during a theft. As I wandered I had noticed some of these ponies were Pegaso(Pegasus) and some where unicornio(Unicorn). As expected the Pegaso(pegasus) flew, but what surprised me was that the unicornio(unicorn) did magic. Now I was wary, being a cat in a village of talking colorful ponies was nerve racking. And the ponies seemed to have tattoos of objects on both of their flanks for some reason. Though that didn't matter for when I was peeking out of my hiding spot I was engulfed in a green magical glow. Suddenly I was lifted into the air, still engulfed in the magic green glow. Before I knew it I was brought before a lime green unicorn with a white stripe in her mane and a lyre tattoo on her flank. And a cream colored pony with dark blue and a pink streak mane, the pony also had three candy looking treats on her flanks. Then they began to speak to each other. "Bonbon doesn't this cat just look cool!" She stared at me with an ecstatic face. I noticed that her horn glowed the same as the green glow that engulfed me as well. Her companion was not as ecstatic. "I don't know Lyra, why would anyone dress a cat in boots and a hat?" I was about to say something but was Interrupted by her friend. "Well I don't care who dressed him all I care about is how cool he looks." I was starting to like this mare I thought, but her companion was about to do the most heinous act you can do to me. "Well I am gonna take his boots off it isn't right to force an animal to wear clothes." She then bit on the end of my boot and began to pull it off. As she pulled I began to panic because my precious boots were about to be taken from me. I still had control of my other boot and used it to kick her straight in the face. She staggered to the ground in pain, her friend let me go to aid her friend and I fell like a rock. "OH MY GOSH Bonbon are you OK?" "Yea But that cat won't be in a minute." She began to stare at me with anger. I got up and dusted off the recently acquired dirt on my fur. I then stood up on my two back legs like I usually do, and then I pointed my finger at the would be thief and said. "NO ONE STEAL'S MY BOOTS AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" Then they both stared at me with awe for I had obviously talked to them, but these two weren't the only Ponies that got my attention. For I was suddenly surrounded by ponies everywhere. And I had blown my cover as a normal cat, this was not going well for me at all.
