Entering Into A Strange New World

by Solmist


CH IV The Hunt For The Apples

“Pinkie do you realize what you have done?” Twilight just barely witness Fluffy been hurling across her home, break her bedroom door, and out the window. By according her calculation he suppose to land in the park. There are two possible facts that Fluffy might do once he lands. One he could find shelter that held food and water since the state that he is in he would not go far. The other that he’ll go on a rampage in Ponyville with confuse of where is he is at. Twilight hopes is the first one.

“I thought he would like a welcome to Ponyville / we discovers a new specie and make him feel good party to clam himself down it looked like he really needed one.” Pinkie said while cleaning her mess that she has cost. Bits of cake, confetti, balloons, and a sheet were splattered all over the place. Applejack and Rainbow woke up after several minutes when Fluffy blasted off. They are also helping, but both of them have other things in their minds.

“Ah cannot believe Ah been outsmarted Fluffy that easy.” Applejack scrapping off a piece of cake from the bookshelves.

“At least you had him AJ, I been humiliated from him after the lights went out.” Rainbow is pulling out a pink blob that is up top of the sealing. She tastes it and finds out that is strawberry cake mix with bubblegum and fruit punch, which causes her to be more unease.

“Pinkie! Have you used bubblegum as a topping again?” Rainbow realizes that one of her hooves got stuck with the pink blob.

“Maybe.” Pinkie avoids making eye contact with her rainbow pegasi friend.

“Pinkie this isn’t time for a party. Now we have to search for Fluffy.” Twilight said as she cleaning the books with her magic.

“Spike! Spike! Where can that dragon be?” Again Spike is nowhere to find. Twilight is about to call for him once more, until she finds a note on coffee table.


Dear Twilight

Went to Sugarcube Conner for my afternoon break, be back soon

- Spike


“Twilight,” Pinkie trying to get her smart brain friend attention, she looks around trying to find somepony “I thought Fluffy was here a minute ago?”

“He was here until blasted off out of my house with your party cannon.”

“Also what happen to Rarity? Wasn’t she with you after I left?” Twilight notice that Pinkie is right, Rarity hasn’t been seen after the blast.

“Oh sweet Celestia you’re right, Rarity! Rarity where are you?” Twilight and the others went to room after room, but she could not find her. Then they hear whimpering coming from the bathroom door.

“Rarity are you alright?” Twilight knocks the door.

“Go away Twilight! Leave me be, I’m ugly!” Rarity cries out.

“Rarity why are you doing in there?” said Applejack.

“Don’t open the door! Please again leave me be!” Rainbow ignores her friend’s pleading and opens the door.

“Come on Rarity it can’t be that baaaaaa…” Before Rainbow could finish she and the others sees why Rarity lock herself up. Her once beautiful curly mane has turned into a disaster. The top part of her mane is mostly burn, but her lower half been unharmed.

“Rarity what happen to your mane?” Twilight said.

“Well Twilight…when you went all berserk on Fluffy, your mane turned into flames and managed get into mine.” Rarity hesitates for a little while before continuing on.

“I panicked and I didn’t know what to do. Out of nowhere somepony grab around my waist. It was Fluffy and we went to the kitchen as he put out of the fire out of my mane. If it wasn’t for him, I would not want think what would happen to me.” Rarity looks down on floor; she still could not believe what just happened to her.

The Twilight and the rest of mares all got mixed opinion about Fluffy. Twilight is more determine that he have the same intelligence as them, but that still doesn’t change for he had done to her favorite book. For Applejack, she knows that Rarity is telling the truth, but she doesn’t let her guards down about Fluffy just yet. For Pinkie, now she is going to make an even bigger party for him and it’s going to be the biggest party that she ever made. As for Rainbow, she still doesn’t trust him even though he saved Rarity until she want to settle down the score. Still this doesn’t change one key fact that they all know and cannot avoid. Fluttershy wouldn’t be so happy when she comes back.


************************************************************************************


As Fluffy rising from his slumber there is something different about him. No longer he has his chocolate color eyes instead he now have emerald green eyes like his necklace.

“Ok that will be the last time we ever going to agreed to a random short blue hooded man.” ‘Fluffy’ rubs his forehead. The first couple of things that he notices that were different. One, location were he is at is nothing he been before, it was all too colorful. Second ‘he’ clearly remembers that they were inside the car, but now ‘he in the middle of the field. ‘His’ trouble soon changes once he sees the up most embarrass thing in his entire life. His cloths were missing and replace them with cake.

“What happen to my clothes, why am I cover with cake and confetti?” He quickly cleans some parts of ‘his’ body off, but in each revealing part of his body coming unrecognizable to him. Then ‘Fluffy’ looks at his hands and realizes these were not his actual hands at all. He touches ‘his’ face and memorizes its structures.

“Most important why I’m in the Master’s body?”

“This cannot be the real world?” He pinches himself and felt the pain.

“Ok this is the real world, huh I wonder why the hooded man led us here?” He thinks the situation of his.

“Let’s see, I’m in the Master’s naked body that be covered with ‘cake’, and in the edge of the field. Well its looks like old CS need to help with the Master problem again.” CS is about head towards the town that was not too far, but he looks at his master’s body again.

“But first I in need to grab some clothes.” He jumps into a bush. CS waits if anyone is passing by, and went to the next bush. He keeps it for a while until he came across two blankets. There were old, but stable to cover him. He use one to cover 'his' lower half while the other as a cape.

“These will have to do and now here is the real question” CS looks around the field.

“Where in hell are we?”

Time pass for CS and he have not meet any people to talk to until he stumbles a little village. His plan was to talk to one of nearest villager, but that soon change once he step into the village. The villagers weren’t humans at all in fact they’re ponies. He quickly hides himself in the shadow of a near by building and watches them. One thing that CS notices about these ponies is that they all are happy. Not a single one of them look like they haven't been though a dilemma as if it been like that forever. CS starts to feel something within him. He knows what it is, but he doesn’t want to release it. Then the melody starts to play. He knows he cannot hold it for very long. Once the song hits his cue, he sings.


What's this? What's this?

There are colors everywhere

What's this?

There's freshness in the air

What's this?

I can't believe my eyes

I must be dreaming

Wake up man, this isn't fair

What's this?

What's this? What's this?

There's something very wrong

What's this?

There are ponies singing songs

What's this?

The streets are lined with

Little ponies laughing

Everybody seems so happy

Have I possibly gone daffy?

What is this?

What's this?

There are children having fun here

Instead of throwing into fits

They're busy with their lives

And absolutely no one's dead

I think there's frosty sweet in that window

Oh, I can't believe my eyes

And in my heart I feel the warmth

That's coming from inside

Oh, look

What's this?

They're baking goods, and they kiss

Why that looks so nice, inspired

They're gathering around to hear a story

Roasting marshmallow on a fire

What's this?

What's this?

In here they've got a little club, how queer

And who would ever think

And why?

They're covered capes with tiny little symbols

They've got paintings on the wall

And there's a smile on everyone

So, now, correct me if I'm wrong

This looks like fun

This looks like fun

Oh, could it be we got our wish?

What's this?

Oh my, what now?

The babies are asleep

But look, there's nothing underneath

No mess, no disaster here to scream or

Scare them

Or ensnare them, only little cozy things

Secure inside their dreamland

What's this?

The wars are all missing

And the nightmares can't be found

And in their place there seems to be

Good feeling all around

Instead of arguments, I swear

I can hear music in the air

The smell of cakes and pies

Is absolutely everywhere?

The sights, the sounds

They're everywhere and all around

I've never felt so good before

This empty place inside of me is filling up

I simply cannot get enough

I want it, oh, I want it

Oh, I want it for my own

I've got to know

I've got to know

What is this place that I have found?

What is this?

*Crash*


*******************************************************************************


“What happen to me?” I said to myself as I rubbing my forehead and I hear mumbling near me. I open my eyes to see two other ponies right in front of me.

The first one is a grey pegasus with yellow mane and the other is a very light purple unicorn that also has same mane color as the pegasus. Their ages are also different since the unicorn is smaller than the pegasus. The little unicorn starts to support of the pegasus’s head injury as she rubs it with her hoof. From what I can guess that most of the ponies I met so far are females as they have long eyelashes if I came close enough to see.

These girls…I mean mares look at me very weird. I became frightened of these ponies ever since I came here. Probably not the yellow pegasus as it seems she could have been the one who treated my wounds, cured my fever, and gave her room to me and if she is then why? Why would she help me if most of these ponies act like they never seen a human before? I must find this pony or at least find a place where I could rest.

It took a pair of hooves to make me out of my trance. I look at the mares again only to see them in their eyes full with…concern? I could not tell for one of them, the unicorn I could tell as for the pegasus. Well her eyes are looking in different directions, but I think she forcing me. She comes closer to me, but my fear got the better of me as I move away from her. Now the pegasus looks worry as her eyes straightened out to look at me. Her eyes are almost as yellow as her mane. While we looking at each other, the young unicorn took upon thinking in our situation and came with a solution as she smiles and lifts up a hoof. She asks the pegasus about something and she agrees with the unicorn. She took out a bag, which I can guess it came from under her wing? I really must drop all science knowledge before I go mad. The pegasus pulls out a muffin, gives it to the unicorn and tries to give it to me. I carefully took the muffin from her. I sniff it to find out it made out of blueberry and it is not poison. Out of all the unicorns I encountered so far at least this one is being nice to me. Not the one that burst into flames. I took a bite out of it, the river of flavors coming into my stomach and I could feel that my eyes grow wide. I could see the mares grew smiles upon their faces to see that I enjoy their gift.

Once I finish wolfing down my muffin, they ask (showing) me to come with them. I did not know why they are asking me to come with them until the pegasus point at my body. I look down at myself to see that I am a total mess. Dirt, leaves and small branches were sticking all over my body and hair. Thankfully I was covered with two picnic blankets. I do not know when I put them on, but I do not care at least my manhood is not showing in front these ponies specially the younger ones. I agree to come with them, when I stand on my feet the mares were surprise about my height. I might get use of this if I want to cope with these ponies as equals.

As we were walking the mares start to trust me more seeing that I have not harm any of them, since I ate their muffin. I am finally getting a rest from what is happening to me today and yesterday. We were going south part of the park, but then I stop to hear it. The ponies look at me wondering why have I stop until they too hear it. Music . I didn’t even know that these ponies could play instruments since they have hooves, but hey all logic knowledge had been out of the window since I first woke up in this place. We follow the music, and come upon one of those stands where the musicians could play at a park. There were two ponies, the first one is playing the cello, but the other I could not guess since the pony is sitting on the steps. We sat on ground to listen their wonderful music.

Once the song have ended we give them an applauses. The one who was holder cello hesitate, and ask pony who was playing with her. The pegasus tries to get their attention as she waving her front hooves and shouting. The musicians now notice and starts heading to us. I couldn’t believe who one of them was. I slowly step away from the mares and I head towards the woods. The mares were wondering why I am about to leave them. I pointed at one of the two ponies that are approaching. It’s the psycho pony I met when I first got here. So that makes sense why that pony had lyre to on her rump, she’s actually good as she using her 'magic' to float her lyre. I need to names these ponies since I already did kind of name all that I encounter before. I will name the grey pony Chella, the little unicorn Muffin, the pegasus uh… I have no idea what to name her probably it will come to me later. Finally the green psycho unicorn will be name Minty.

I still think that Minty want to get me and without any hesitate I start to run into the woods. I could hear those two begging for me to come back, somehow a part of me wants to stay with them. I found bush that is capable of hiding me. I stay quietly and hopefully Minty doesn’t find me. Their voices came closer and I start to stay even lower. In the corner of my eye, I see Minty’s hooves along with everyone’s. Muffin is the only one that could see me, but I tell her not reveal were I am. I see Minty starts to complain about me not meeting her again as she stumping her hooves. The others trying to her to leave me alone, but she just would not allow it. While they were doing, I see Muffin made a path of sticks head to somewhere. After for what have been like fifth-teen minutes of waiting they left. I am back where when I first got here, but I finally made allies that I could trust for the time being. I look at sticks and they’re pointing north part of the woods. I thinking Muffin wants me to meet up with her again without Minty involve. Muffin is one smart cookie.

For what it seem an hour-long walk, I found myself a field of apples trees. Each tree contented apples that are ready to be pick. I notice that each tree are in parallel lines not like were I was been moments ago where the trees are spread everywhere. I must be someone’s apple farm by looks of it. I climb to the nearest tree to get a better look of these apples. I was right about the apples of being ready and without anyone in sight this is the perfect opportunity to grab some.

“There’s no pony in sight, they won’t notice that I took a few apples, I mean what could go wrong?” I snap one of apples from which it echoes through out the field.

“It’s highly unlikely you shouldn’t say that, many people said it and it doesn’t end well for them.”

“Whatever I’m tried from all of this and I need something normal event to cheer me up.”


************************************************************************************


At the Apple’s farmhouse Granny Smith is doing her regular afternoon nap, until she hears a twig snap that is coming from her family’s apple field.

“Big Mac, Winona get over here!” she cried out her family members.

“What is it Granny?” Mac said.

“Get the wagon ready Ah think we got ourselves a theft in our field!” Granny walks slowly to the wagon. Mac disbelief that somepony could be foolish enough to steal one of their apples, on the other hoof he never judges with Granny’s knowledge.

“Ah know what you about to say Mac, but listen to the field you know it to be true.” Granny hops into the wagon. Big Mac listen careful, and in no time another twig have been snap. This made him anger and so did Winona as she barks where the noise was coming from.

“Come on Winona, we’re gonna get ourselves a theft.” Off they go into their field. Unknown to them that their unwanted guest is not even a pony.


Meanwhile back at the library


“We’re finally done now can we please go look for Fluffy now, there some things I want to teach him why not make a fool out of Rainbow Dash.” Rainbow throws the towel into a bucket. She is about to talk to Applejack of how they going capture Fluffy, but her friend seem a bit odd. Her hooves would not stop shaking and her head is cover with sweat.

“Hey Applejack are you all right?”

“Ah don’t know Rainbow, Ah getting this weird feeling that something is happening around my field.”

“It’s probably nothing there AJ, just think of how we going to capture Fluffy.”

Applejack tries to steady her legs “Ah think you’re right Rainbow Ah don’t want any pony folk think Fluffy is some kind of monster, not what happen to Rarity.” Rainbow also thought about it too. He did save Rarity, so she will probably give him a hoof in the gut. Twilight call everypony to the main room to discuss their plan.

“Ok here’s the plan, Fluffy would most likely be searching for a resting ground. Applejack and Rainbow, you two should go far parts of the park while Pinkie, Rarity and I will search the rest. If one of us sees Fluffy, get others as fast you can without him noticing you. From there we can…” Twilight was about to continue on, but Rarity have something to say that is in her mind for quite awhile.

“Twilight I don’t to be rude, but I can’t join with you girls.”

“Why not?” Rarity points at her mane to Twilight explaining why.

“Oh, I understand, we still could mange to get Fluffy if we plan this correctly.” Twilight sets up a map of the park. She explains them the strategies that they’re going to make. Once they’re finish, everypony expect for Rarity who she went back to her boutique saying that she have to make a new style out of her mane. They arrive to the park, and almost all of them ready to search for Fluffy. Applejack having trouble of concentrating on of getting him as her urge to go to her orchard is now more than ever. Her urge got the best of her once she hears twig snap directly from her field.

“Ah can’t help myself. Apple senses tingling.” Applejack zooms towards to her farm.

“Applejack where are you going?” Twilight screaming at her farm friend.

“Can’t Twilight, Ah need get to ma farm!”


************************************************************************************

These apples are so delicious. I cannot believe such of a place can even exists here. I must grab more! I took about three apples, but in my haste I hear galloping and it ‘s heading at my direction. It must be Muffin and the pegasus, I start to wonder when they would come.

I turn around to see two more unfamiliar ponies and a dog. The first one is elderly pony and she has a light lime green coat and white mane. I have been one hundred percent confirm at all ponies I have met so far are females, because this next pony is in fact a male. I could tell that his snout is more cubic shape than other the mares as they have curve shape, his body is more bulker and he is almost tall as me. Only by couple of inches, his head reaches my mouth. This fella has a crimson coat and a dirty orange mane. Finally the dog, it’s almost if not the same breed like Fly and Rex from the movie Babe except it have brown and white fur instead of black and white.

“See what did I tell you, don’t say that sentence on any situation again!”

“Ok I will start following you, now what should I do voice in my head?”

“We should make an escape plan and fast.”

We stood there for what seem to be forever, but neared one of us want to make the first move. One thing sure I could tell by the look in these ponies’ eyes that they were all mad at me. While we were waiting I start to plan my tactics on them. One bulky stallion, one elderly mare, and a dog if I play my cards right they will be easy. As long I do not harm any of them or these ponies will think I am a monster. I just need evade their kicks and find a weapon to stun them to get away. My eyes contact to the apples and tree’s branches that are in the ground, and then it hit me. A perfect stun weapon for these ponies and all I have to do is wait for right time.

My time came once a gust of wind blown a leaf at the tree that is behind me and I am not the only one who is waiting for the leaf to hit the ground. The group had been looking at my eyes directions seeing they are ready to attack me. I set down one of my apples and start heading to them. The stallion and the dog were ready for ‘my first attack’, but the granny is pondering about something.

“Let the chase begin.”

""Quiet you!"

I run towards her, but she is not even unsurprised that I have made that decision. What makes it more odd, that once I evade her I think she grins at me? The stallion is not too far on my trail yet their dog didn’t come after me, as the granny healed her hoof in front of it. Did she know my plain this whole time? There is no time for me to think right now. I need to get out of this farm and fast. Running is my only option for now. I just need time for me to make my weapon. I cannot even shake this guy since all the trees are too well organized. Still he is very far away where I’m at, but I must use my energy cautious. Thankfully not too far away I found a wagon. I guess the stallion must have used this to get the others here.

“We could use this as a distraction.”

I knew what the voice is planning and I change my mind about it. I push the wagon and quickly climb to the nearest tree. I made it just time as the stallion came to my view and he looks around the area. Before he looks above the noises that the wagon is making got the stallion attention and ran to its direction. Sucker he thinks I took his wagon, these ponies are easier than I thought they would be. I stay in the tree until I could not hear the wagon or the stallion.

I climb down and start head towards a different direction. It wasn’t long until I hear another hooves galloping. “Who is it this time?” I turn around and a force struck into my chest sending me off into a tree. The force was so strong that the apples from the tree fall under me. I could feel and hear my spine crack as I try to get myself up. Then a rope grabs both my arms and waist, and flung me over to the ground. I open my eyes to see a pair of orange hooves along with the rope. “Orange!” I look up at her. I should have known this place belongs to her, so that means the others who were guarding this place must be her family. Orange begins to drag me, but I quickly got up to my feet. I could see her eyes as they roll to other side telling me ‘You want to do the hard way’ and she look please when I smile at her telling I want to. I charge at her, but she dodges me and uses her rope swing me back to her. I didn’t expect her of being so strong then again she didn’t expect that ether when I out smarted her. Orange pulls me again, but this time I’m ready. As I being swing I give her a leg sweep. I manage to trip her yet she still has the rope in her mouth, which I thought up another plan. I start to circle her to use her rope against her. Orange soon caught up with my plan as her hooves have been almost tired up and to avoid it she literally jumps onto me.

“Déjame ir!”
(Let me go!) I tell her as she tries to use my head as a steering wheel, but without her knowledge that I trip myself in result we roll down the hill. I became daze once we came to a halt. I try get myself up, but I couldn’t. I open my eyes to see a pair of light lime green eyes. They belong to Orange’s. She looks determined, and then she looks kind of odd. She looks around us and suddenly her cheeks became red. Why did she turns red all sudden, I mean she got the rope in her mouth. Wait why do I feel warmth feeling in front of my body? I look at my side to see that Orange and I have been lasso each other. Apparently as we were rolling down the hill, and the rope somehow managed to tie us. What worst about it is that I have only one thin layer of clothing between us from fully contacting down below.

“Well this is awkward.” I say to her without even care that she understands me or not. I could feel my cheeks getting all heat up from all of this. After many attempts of getting us off each other, which led some awkward positions that makes us look like that we’re having sex, but thank god no one is around to see us. I tried all my might to not to enjoy this and so does Orange too as both our faces are red and covering with sweat trying avoid our lust. Once we were out, I quickly use my hand gesture to explaining her what we been though never happened and she agrees. Even though we both agreed, but still that doesn’t mean Orange would let me go just like that easily. She uses hooves as offence to tackle me down. Within each kicks of her hooves I barely miss them. Some of her kicks struck some trees and all drop apples. I begin to throw the apple at her, and she kicks and dodges them. While she was doing this I start to make my stun weapon idea. We keep doing this for a while and I have six stuns ready to throw. Orange has enough of fooling around and kick me right chest again. That kick took the breath out of me as my body starts getting weak. With me having asthma I need air more than these ponies. One more kick like that I’ll be a goner. I crawl my way back and I look at her. From what I could tell her face says that I should stop this and surrender. No not yet I still have one more trick under my sleeve or robe what ever comes first.


“Yo Orange!” I grab my apples. “Pineapples surprise!” I throw my thorns apples near her face, but she splatters them with her hooves in mere seconds. My plan is ruined, and if I try run, I only be capture by Orange. I see her snicker at my attempt to escape, but it soon stumbles on her hooves. She looks at hooves and sees splinters on them. It was the splinters from my pineapples. Now would be perfect time to escape this farm, but she will be able to see were I’m heading and I don’t want any more ponies from place where I had been to be following me. There’s only one thing to do.

I grab the rope and slowly walk towards Orange. She tries to use front hooves to hit me, but her force isn’t strong her hind hooves. I use the rope to tie her. Once I finish I was doing I look down at Orange, her face tells everything that she is in right now. Anger, embarrass, but most of all especially within her light lime green eyes I see fear. Fear that I would do something bad to her. I hold on Orange’s shoulder, she looks at me as I clench my right fist. She closes her eyes ready for my contact, and I must do this it’s the only way.
























“Honk.” I enclose her snout with my two fingers. Orange looks at me in shock as her mouth opens wide and even more humiliation as one of hers eyes starts twitching. Luckily with all that is happening to her at once, she faints right in front of me.

“Genial, ahora toda la familia a tratar a por mí!”
(Great, now the whole family will try get me!)

“Here’s the bright side, she does not to be lasso any more.”

I agree the voice in my head using the rope could be useful to me. I untangle her and roll the rope onto my left shoulder. It going to a while for the any of these ponies to find Orange, I should give her a snack and get those splitters out of her hooves after all she deserves it. I give her one of hers fresh apples from a tree and place it in her hat. I could have sworn that Orange growled at me when I grabbed her hat off of her head. Note to self do not take Orange’s hat again. As for the splitters, they were a piece of cake with her being unconscious.

After I left Orange I head east and soon I find the entrance of the Apple farm. I haven’t not meet up any more ponies, as I exist the property. I came to realize that each race of ponies have different abilities. Pegasus has wings, unicorn has ‘magic’, and the regular pony has super strength. I soon find myself a sign that is pointing southwest. I could not understand of these ponies’ language, yet their number are the same from the ones back on earth. I think it’s pointing at the village that held me captive. One thing sure about that place is that I need to go back there. It would be suicide if I leave this area without my belongings especially my glasses. I just need to wait until nightfall and once there I going get my stuff back. Upon my thinking I have not notice I been floating the entire time. A green mist glows around me and I look around to see who is casting it at me. Then I hear giggling. A kind of giggling that you don’t want to be around. The glow send me closer to the village and I see a unicorn like figure ahead of me.

'Oh no not her again!' I thought to myself as I see Minty smiling at me.
