Author's Note: Hey guys! DubleTruble96 here. Um, I guess this new chapter requires some explanation...It's like, "Whoa, hey! I thought this story was complete?" Well, it still is. But this is an alternate version of the story. The same events take place, only....differently. Here's what's new: Austin is actually a brony, and therefore, knows about the show, the characters, etc etc.; This all takes place BEFORE Season 3, so Alicorn Twilight is not making an appearance. Sorry.; The ponies actually have been watching Austin for a long time, and make it their mission to bring him to Equestria, not by Austin finding a portal by accident.; and lastly, there's going to be humanized ponies in this. So if you don't like human ponies, leave now. Alright, let's get this started!
Equestria: Crossing Over
Act 1: World I Left Behind
6 mares gathered closely around a magical crystal ball, with Celestia slowly flipping through the 'channels'.
"When you see a brony you like girls, just say the word." Celestia said.
They made this a weekly thing. Every Sunday night, the mane 6 would gather in Celestia's private viewing chambers, and pick a brony from a world known as Earth to watch. Sometimes it was funny, sometimes it was sad. This time, they just wanted someone to watch....
They couldn't view private aspects, oddly. It seems that whenever they tried viewing a bathroom, bedroom, or changing room, the crystal ball would malfunction and then show nothing but mist until the brony left the room again. Usually, if the brony went to sleep or was spending too long in the washroom, they would just change the view to a different, more interesting brony.
"Ooooh! Wait wait wait! Go back to that long haired one!" Twilight said.
Celestia flipped the channel back to a male, long haired brony who was bopping along the road, singing what sounded like Pinkie's Smile song. Just when the going was about to get good, a royal guard burst in.
"Your highness! Your highness! Red alert! Red alert!" He shouted between gasps.
"Wait! Catch your breath, soldier....Now, tell me what's wrong."
"It's Discord, your highness! He's escaped and hid the Elements of Harmony...and reports have said that Discord plans on leaving to a different world in hopes to elude you and the Bearers."
Celestia turned pale, then looked at the mane 6, who looked determined and protectively at her. She smiled and nodded, then turned to the guard.
"Thank you. You are dismissed." She turned back to the girls. "You know what to do, girls."
They all nodded and galloped out of the room, leaving Celestia alone, peering deeply at the crystal ball. She had an idea of where Discord was headed. And she didn't like it.
Hours soon turned to days, and those days, to weeks, and not a clue was found as to the Elements' location. That's when Twilight got a letter that instructed the Bearers to get back to Canterlot as soon as possible. Once they arrived, Celestia led them to her viewing chamber.
"This really isn't the time for brony watching, Princess!" Twilight started to protest.
Celestia shushed her and motioned for them to get closer.
"I think you'll want to see this." She said.
The mane 6 all peered into the crystal ball and saw that long haired brony again, only this time, he has found some new headwear....The Element of Magic.
The mane 6 gasped and reeled back, then turned to Celestia.
"Indeed...I'm afraid Discord has hid the Elements on Earth, and he's planning on taking it over as well. I'm readying a portal to Earth...But you can't go looking the way you do. You'd be spotted for sure. You need disquises...."
Celestia cast a strange spell on the 6 of them, turning them into humans. The clothes magically appeared on their bodies and the magic faded soon after. The looked at their new bodies and attire, smiling in awe of their new bodies.
"Now, you still have your powers as unicorns, and your wings of pegasi....I couldn't leave you grounded, now could I, Rainbow Dash? But you can only use them in emergencies...You don't often see the bronies flying around with wings on their backs, do you?"
They all took her instructions into consideration, than agreed.
"Now my little ponies....Go to Earth and find that brony...You have to set up new lives there....You must remember, you're human now, not ponies. Good luck, and I'll be watching you all the way."
The portal opened up and the 6 humans all looked at one another, then stepped through. Celestia watched as they disappeared and the portal closed. She sighed heavily and turned to the Crystal ball, the image of the brony with the Element of Magic still in it's mist.
"That human has no idea what he's gotten himself into."
I stared into the strange golden headpiece. Whoever made this had some damn good cosplay skills. I put it into my backpack and walked home, setting it in my closet. Whatever. If I find the owner, I'll give it back to them. But until then, I'll keep it safe.
*One Week Later*
I noticed things seemed...different on my street. I was walking down what I called the Market street, which is actually called 33rd Street West, and I noticed a few things. The old dress shop that used to be closed up was now open again under new management, called the Carosel Boutique. Huh...sounds a lot like Rarity's dress shop in Ponyville. I chuckle to myself and keep walking. Further down the street, I notice something even stranger....The bakery was also under new management, and was renamed "Sugarcube Corner".
Now this was starting to look a lot less like a coincidence...I continued and walked into the library, then noticed it had a new librarian. She had dark hair, with a purple and pink stripe down the middle. Her eyes were pretty blue, almost....purple. And she was wearing a sweater vest over a woman's dress shirt, and I swear I saw what appeared to be a starburst pattern on the lower left corner of the sweater vest....
I looked up and spotted something else that seemed strange.
The sky was clear. Just 10 seconds ago, it was cloudy with a chance of rain. Now, not a single cloud in the sky. I turned and ran all the way back home. I was so alienated by the whole thing....I decided to just stop by the local convenience store for a soda to calm my nerves. I walked down the street and saw a new tenant was moving into the old cottage at the end of the street. I went down to introduce myself, but stopped and went white when I saw that it was a 20-some girl with pale pink hair, wearing a pale yellow sweater that was 2 or 3 sizes too big for her, and a short, pleated pink skirt. In her arms she was cradling a small white rabbit. I decided to go the other way, to the grocery store instead...
I had to pass through the produce section. That's when I saw something that made my mind crumble. A new employee. Long blonde hair tied into a ponytail with a red band, green eyes, freckles, and an orange plaid shirt with a pair of blue jeans. She was restocking the apple section. I screamed and ran back to my house, and locked myself in the bedroom.
Maybe this was a weird, messed up brony dream. Or maybe I was just overreacting. Who knows? Maybe I just needed a good night's sleep.
Oh how wrong I was...
