//------------------------------// // Not Such A Normal Day // Story: A Big Problem // by thatguyfromkfc //------------------------------// I groaned as I got up out of my bed. Why did this have to happen at three in the morning? I looked down at the green reptile which was now tightly clamped to my leg. "Really?" I asked. "Now?" Gummy just wiggled his tail. I groaned again and walked out of the room. I was used to it. This happened every morning. It seemed to be the only time Gummy was hungry. I switched on the kitchen light and went for the food Pinkie had brought for Gummy to eat and poured it into a bowl. As soon as my hand let go of the bowl the alligator let go of my leg and began eating the food. I didn't know how he did it without teeth but he was Pinkie Pie's pet. I made my way back up the stairs just in time to see a cyan blur fly out of the window. "Got get up bright and early for some excersise!" Rainbow Dash shouted back to me hurriedly. I sighed and walked back into my room. This was gonna be a long day. I walked down the stairs yawning loudly. I heard clattering coming from the kitchen so I headed in that direction. Pinkie had just got a tray out of the oven and placed it on the table. The tray was filled with steaming cupcakes. The scent filled the house. "I made cupcakes!" Exclaimed Pinkie as she turned round. I smiled and walked back out of the kitchen. As usual everypony else was sat in the back garden. Well...except for Rainbow Dash. She was lying on a cloud. Applejack was sat on the deck with a blade of corn between her teeth, Twilight was reading, Fluttershy was talking to some birds that had landed in my garden and Rarity...she's just Rarity. I sat on the couch. It was odd. It had only been a week but I had almost gotten used to it all. I hadn't quite gotten used to Pinkie Pie yet but I was close. I hadn't had many friends. That was until Twilight and the others showed up. Ever since they came into my life I've been happier than I'd been in years. I knew they would have to leave at some point. I just hoped it wouldn't turn out like My Little Dashie. I heard the door open and I looked up. Twilight and the others came in and all layed on the rug facing me. I looked at them sceptically. Then I realised. I rushed upstairs and grabbed what I needed. The cold winter air blew through my hair as I walked. Yes. That was what me and the others did everyday. We walked. The green foliage lay on the ground only moving slightly because of the light breeze. We stopped to rest underneath a small oak tree. "So..." I began. "What's Ponyville like?" "Eh." Rainbow Dash replied. "It's cool but to calm for me. Not enough speed." I chuckled. "Hey, Pinkie. Who's taking care of Sugarcube Corner?" I asked. No answer. "Pinkie?" I turned round to find both Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy missing. My eyes widened in fear. I got up and began to run. The foliage shot up around my feet. It had begun to get dark and I was almost ready to give up. I had looked everywhere. Under trees, behind bushes even in trees. But I still couldn't find her.I was about to fall to the floor and give up when I saw a lone figure lying on the ground. I rushed over to find Pinkie Pie lying there, shivering. Her teeth were chattering and tears were streaming out of her eyes. The others rushed over and I noticed another figure running off into the distance. "Rainbow Dash!" I shouted. "Go after them. Me and the others will stay here with Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash flew up into the sky and over the trees. I turned the shivering pony over to find a gash on her stomach. My eyes widened. There was nothing I could do about this. I couldn't take her to a hospital and I had no way to get to Equestria. "Get back here!" Shouted a voice. I dived sideways and grabbed the figure. "No you don't!" I looked at the figure to find... "Fluttershy!?" all of us were shocked. Pinkie Pie slowly opened her eyes. When she caught sight of the pegasus she began to panic. "I-I-I-I didn't mean to." Fluttershy stammered. "I was scared. I thought Pinkie Pie was somepony else. I grabbed the closest thing I could to defend myself." I looked at the sobbing yellow mare. "Does anypony know a way to Equestria?" I asked. Everypony except Twilight shook their heads. "How?" I asked. Twilights horn began to glow brightly and a beam shot out and then dissapeared into the sky. A distress signal. And sure enough at that moment a group of ponies appeared carrying a gurney. I looked at them. I was suprised at their lack of reaction after seeing me. "Ponies get sent to this world all the time." Twilight explained. "Research." The ponies dissapeared in a flash along with Pinkie. This would not end well. But for now all we could do was wait. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors Notes: Well...We're nearing the end of the story.
