"Booker...we've been on this rail for miles now. Can we take a break?" Elizabeth asked. Booker sighed and jumped off the rail. Elizabeth followed and they soon fell into the wilderness.
"Thank goodness. I thought we was going to be on that thing forever." Elizabeth complained.
"Well, if we're going to be here, were going to be here for a while. So lets find a cave...and hope their isn't any more Founders." Booker said.
"Maybe I can use my powers to take us to town?" Elizabeth suggested. Booker stopped and thought about this.
"Why didn't you do this before?!" Booker asked with anger rising through his veins.
"I like to use rails." Elizabeth said.
Booker shrugged and agreed. He likes to ride rails. Who doesn't? Elizabeth took one easy breath, and focused as hard as she can. She quickly tossed her arms to the side and it showed a town in black and white.The colors faded, then regained their color as they channeled somewhere else. "Were here!" Elizabeth said.
Booker stared into this bright and colorful looking city. "Let's find out where we are. Maybe then we can find out who interrupted my powers." Elizabeth said.
Booker nodded and headed into the city, but suddenly crowded by lots of horses...or...ponies. "Wow, what does this thing do?" one pony asked, holding Booker's shotgun.
Booker snatched it away from her and snarled. "Don't touch my stuff." he ordered.
Wait...how did he grab that? The ponies just crowded them, but then they left.
Why? They have a life!
The two kept walking, but only to stumble upon a pink pony with a hot pink poofy hair. "Uh, excuse me, Miss? Can you tell us where we are?" Booker asked.
The pink pony actually paid attention, made a really funny gasp, then zipped away faster than the speed of light."...This town is weird." Booker said annoyed.
They walked further into the colorful town, and found a purple unicorn with a baby dragon. "Excuse me? Miss? Can you tell us where we are?" Booker asked.
The purple unicorn trotted up to them and nodded. "Well, yeah. Your in Ponyville, and I've never seen you guys here before. So that means you must be new." the purple unicorn said. I think I have offically lost my mind...Booker thought.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle. What's yours?" the purple unicorn asked.
"Booker, and she's Elizabeth." Booker pointed at The Lamb. The purple dragon stared at Booker's gun. He felt...uneasy. Why does that gun make him feel uncomfortable? The dragon whispered something to the purple dragon and she giggled.
"Don't be so ridicules Spike. They are not evil." Twilight said. Booker scoffed silently. She sure was wrong.
"I can show you to my friends if you want." Twilight said with a warm smile.
"We will be delighted to, Miss Sparkle." Elizabeth said.
Twilight blushed and said, "No need to call me Miss Sparkle. Just call me Twilight." the unicorn said. They both nodded and followed the unicorn. The dragon, however, felt uneasy being around Booker. Maybe the gun, or he just had a bad feeling. Booker didn't feel like being around the dragon. Remember? There were no dragons were they came from.
"Are you sure we could trust her just like that, Elizabeth?" Booker asked.
"Well, yeah. You asked her for some help right?" she asked.
"I was asking for where we were, I didn't meant go to some random horse-stranger and ask her to see her friends!" Booker said with a hint of anger.
"Oh don't be so dramatic. But...their is something off about her. From the books I read, unicorns have magic. And she has some sort of magic. I can't tell what." Elizabeth said.
She does not get out much, does she? Booker thought.
"I can't imagine how much the U.S Goverment would want this place. This place will be like a hundred thousand bucks." Elizabeth said.
"Imagine how hard it would be for the Goverment to get here." Booker said. They arrived in a farm...or a barn. Either way, it said: Sweet Apple Acres.
What are these silly names coming from?!
"Come in! I'm sure they will love to meet you." Twilight said.
They?! Whose 'they'?! Booker thought in his smallworld mind. They entered the barn and what The False Sheperd and his Lamb saw...was a orange pony, hitting an apple tree.
If you want an apple, just pick it off.
"Applejack! Guess who came into Ponyville?" Twilight called out.
"Comin' Twi'!" the orange pony said. She stop hitting the tree with her back legs and trotted her way to the three.
"Mighty fine seein' ya'll come here. Name's Applejack." the orange pony said, shaking hoofs with the two. Once Applejack got a hold of Elizabeth, she shook her hand...er...hoof so violently that she actually had to tell her to stop. While Booker no problems shaking Applejack's hoof. He's been switching and carrying guns. Her hoof is as strong as a Minigun. It's not that hard man.
"Ah see you got somethin' fancy on yer back. What is it?" Applejack asked, pointing to Booker's gun.
"I have been wondering what that was as well Applejack. What is it?" Twilight asked.
"Something that will save your life when it comes to. Also strong enough to knock down two tree's with one go." Booker said with a sly smile.
"Can we see it?" Applejack asked.
"Nope." Booker's final answer.
"Please?" Twilight asked, but they just got a simple "Nope." Twilight rolled her eyes and used her magic to take the shotgun. Booker's gun floated and Booker was to shocked to even get a hold of it. Twilight spun it like it was a baby toy, observing what it will do. Booker gained back his calm or anger and took what was rightfully his.
"I said 'No!'" Booker said angry.
"No need to be so mean." Twilight said.
"Coming from the horse who stole his stuff." Booker said, now holding the shot gun with his arm. Twilight rolled her eyes once more and Applejack shrugged.
"If they say no, they mean it. Now, where Rainbow at? Ah'm sure she would love to meet these two lovebirds." Applejack said. The two just scoffed.
"Yeah, lovebirds..." They both acted. Twilight called out this "Rainbow" and a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail.
"Sup A.J.? Who are these two?" the cyan asked.
"Rainbow, this is Booker, and she's Elizabeth." Twilight said. Rainbow looked at Booker and Elizabeth with suspicion.
"You look...familiar. Have we met?" Rainbow asked.
"No...we haven't. Because we're-"
"New here because we moved from...um...New Colt City?" Elizabeth said...with sweat running down from her forehead.
"Really?! How was it?" Twilight asked with happiness.
"It was fine. Not like Las Pegasus...or France Dè Unicorn, but it was nice. Right, Elizabeth?" Booker lied.
"But I liked France Dè Unicorn." Elizabeth said with a bit of sadness.
"Because it had France in the name?" Booker asked. Elizabeth pouted and crossed her ar-er...fore-legs in anger.
"Well...we could show you our friends if you like?" Twilight said.
"We will be delighted, Miss Sparkle." Booker said blankly.
"O...kay. Let's go...?" Twilight said awkwardly.
Once they wal-uh...trotted their way out of the farm, Rainbow came up to Twilight. "Hey, Egghead. You sure we could trust these two?" Rainbow whispered.
"Why not? But they do kinda look...suspicious. And...the mare has some sort of...magic that I can't explain." Twilight said.
"Exactly! And...what is that weird looking stick?" Rainbow whispered, pointing at Booker's gun.
"He said it could save lives, but it looks dangerous to me." Twilight said.
"Maybe you can use your science powers and figure out what it is." Rainbow said.
"Naw, he seems to protective over it. Plus, it's a bad thing to steal, Rainbow." She assured.
"Where are we going, Twilight?" Applejack chimed in.
"To Rarity's. Maybe she can do something about his stick-weapon so we can observe it." Twilight whispered to her.
"Uh, if you ladies are done with your 'romance party', where are we going exactly?" Booker asked, ruining their whispering party.
"We're all ready here." Twilight said.
"Already where?" Elizabeth said.
"To Rarity's" Applejack said.
"Alright, we goin' in or what?" Booker asked again. Applejack opened the door and they all came inside.
"Business is closed today." said a voice.
"It's just us, Rarity." Applejack yelled.
"Coming!" sang the voice. A mare came in and her color was complete white. Her hair was purple and it looked like it took hour's to actually curl her hair up in three loops. And don't even get me started on her tail.
"And who are these guest? Especially that handsome stallion?" asked Rarity, battering her eyes at Booker.
He only needed to say one thing.
"Not available." Booker said blankly. Rarity made a small "Hmp" sound as she pouted.
"Rarity, this is Booker and Elizabeth. Booker, Elizabeth, this is Rarity." Twilight introduced.
"Nice to meet you Rarity." Booker said.
"It's very pleasant to see you." Elizabeth said.
"You guys are so...polite! And it's nice to see you too." Rarity said, but out of nowhere, she gained a huge chill.
"You okay?" Booker asked.
"Twilight, my dear. Can we speak in private?" Rarity politely asked.
"Alright." Twilight said.
Twilight followed Rarity and she was freaking out. "What did you need?" Twilight asked.
"Why does Elizabeth's magic feel so...powerful?" Rarity asked.
"I...I don't know. I was actually trying to keep my magic from going crazy around her." Twilight admitted.
"And...Booker's stick?" Rarity asked.
"He said it'll save our lives some day." said Twilight, now getting ready to leave.. "Which is why we wanted you to seduce him so we can see what it does."
"Don't worry, my dear." said Rarity, playing with her mane. "I can seduce him with a snap of a twig."
The two left from the corner and they saw both Applejack and Rainbow amazed.
Elizabeth was showing her cage-pictured necklace.
"Where did you get one?" Applejack asked.
"France Dè Unicorn." Elizabeth said.
"Neat, not cool, but neat." Rainbow said. Elizabeth rubbed her right foreleg and her left.
Wait...
Where was her thumb-tack?
"What the-? Where did my thumb-tack go?" She asked herself. Her thought's were interuppted when her stomach growled.
"You hun-gy?" Booker teased. Elizabeth's cheeks turned bright red as she nodded.
"Then let's go to Sugarcube Corner. Just one question." Rainbow said.
"And that would be?" Booker asked.
"Have you met a pink pony, and when she saw you, she gasped and ran away?" Rainbow asked.
"Yeah...?" both Booker and Elizabeth stretched the word. The ponies giggled as Rarity and Twilight came into view.
"Come on. Let's go." Twilight said.
The ponies left...Rarity's house? Kinda looked like a boutique to Booker. Anyway, once they walked out, Twilight nudges Rarity to use her woman skills on Booker.
"So...do you have any plans this week?" Rarity asked.
"No, in fact, we just got here." Booker said.
"Splendid! Maybe be can go on a...you know...date." Rarity said, battering her eyes once again at Booker.
"Want me to be honest with you?" He asked.
"Oh yes please." Rarity said.
"You are doing a terrible job at seducing me. Heck, your cat did a better at getting my attention than you did." Booker admitted. Rarity stopped dead on her tracks as her eyes twitched.
"Hey girls." Booker yelled at the group. They all turned to his attention.
"We might wanna run from Miss Crazy over here." He pointed at Rarity. Her fur was all over the place, her hair was out of place, and it looks like she had no sleep at all.
"What did you do?" Rainbow asked with a smile.
"She sucks at mare skills." Booker said with a sly smile. Rainbow laughed and they all ran. Weird part about it was that she caused an explosion.
You heard me, an explosion.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?" Rarity boomed at the explosion.
"Oh Celestia! No one has ever ticked her off this fast or that hard!" Rainbow said, still flying from Rarity. They saw a gingerbread house and both Booker and Elizabeth was confused. They all jumped in anyway and the room was dark. Out of nowhere, a bright flash came on and it looked like pretty much every horse they saw was in one house.
How was this possible?
"SURPRISE!" They all said. Then a pink pony came into Booker's personal space.
"Didyalikeit? Didyadidyadidyadidya?" the pink horse said so fast, it looked like a sugar rush can't compete with it.
"Yeah, and I got a surprise for you." Booker said. He moved from the door and it showed a ticked of Rarity.
"Surprise." Booker said. She ran in a full gallop and she crashed into Booker.
"How dare you say I have weak mare skills?!" Rarity asked ticked off.
How more angry can she be?
"No need to fight in a party miss." Booker pointed at the crowd of ponies. Rarity stopped and stared at the ponies, then embarrassing moments came into her body. She giggled in stupidity and in embarrassment.
"Hehehe...sorry, everypony. My mistake." Rarity said weakly. "Well then, LET'S PARTY!" Pinkie said. Music that both Booker and Elizabeth never heard.
What was this? This music is certainly not 1900's.
Booker stood up and and Rarity put a hoof on his chest. "We will deal with this later." Rarity said., then walked off.
Booker chuckled and he found Rainbow. "How did you do that?" Booker asked.
"Do what?" Rainbow asked.
"Fly?" Booker asked.
"You don't know how to fly? I thought you said you went to New Colt City? That's where most fillies and colts fly." Rainbow said.
"Well, expect Elizabeth to lie to ya. We're actually humans." Booker said.
"Hoo-mans?" Rainbow pronounced,
"Yup." Booker confirmed.
"Stop don't lie to me." Rainbow said.
"Want proof? Here let me get you some punch." Booker said. He brought out Undertow, and drank it. His hoofs act differently, even more painful than human. His hoofs grew barnacles that moved in and out and at last...it stop.
"I think I'm gonna barf." Rainbow said, trying to keep herself from barfing. He charged up his hoof and it showed a see-through tentacle. He pointed at the punch as it grabbed it and it hurled back. Rainbow was able to catch it and...she was amazed.
"I thought unicorns do that." Rainbow said.
"Unicorns can do magic?" Booker asked.
"I have a lot to do, don't I?" Rainbow said. She patted Booker on the back and enjoyed the party.

"Hey! Hey Stormcatcher! Check this out." the earth pony mare showed the pegasus the whistler.
"What does it do, Marsh Mellow?" asked the pegasus.
"It's like an instrument, but with six holes." Marsh Mellow said.
"Which one is more awesome?" Stormcatcher asked.
"Um...C...A...G...E. I can play it for you, if you like?" Marsh Mellow said.
"Alright." Stormcatcher said. Marsh Mellow played C,A,G,E...and a loud pitch noise was heard. It sounded like a bird, but a bit more...ticked.
"What was that?" Marsh Mellow asked.
"Sshh! Just, run!" Stormcatcher whispered. They both tried to run through the forest, but was blocked off by a huge black bird. He was tall and had a beak that neither open nor close. An air tank was right under his beak, and his fingers held sharp claws on each knuckle. His feat were not like any bird, but they were spread out with claws on each end. His claws held his wings, and his eyes glowed red.
"W-we're sorry. P-please d-don't hurt us!" Marsh Mellow crouched behind Stormcatcher. The bird did not care but picking them up, and sending them far from where he was. The pegasus would of save them, but the power the bird threw was to much. They screamed in fear and the last thing they remember before...crashing to the ground, was the glowing red eyes of terror.
Ready or not, here comes the Songbird!
