Of course, the loud noises almost set Fluttershy into a panic attack, however she quickly calmed herself down. Once she got to the door and opened it, she saw an exhausted Spike trying to catch his breath. Once Spike caught his breath he looked up to her and yelled, “Fluttershy! Fluttershy!” Fluttershy looked at him in confusion and said, “W-what is it Spike?.” “Twilight needs you! There’s a strange animal in the library!” Spike screamed. “An animal?” Fluttershy muttered. “W-well what type of animal?” “I don’t know, but it’s big and weird and stuff. Twilight thinks it’s hurt!” Spike said while flailing his arms around. “Oh o-okay”, Fluttershy said with a concerned look on her face. “Hurry let’s go!” Spike gestured towards the library with his arm. After six minutes of running back to the library, they finally made it. Spike quickly opened the door allowing Fluttershy to enter first, he then followed and slammed the door behind him. “This is fascinating” Twilight said under her breath while jotting down notes of the creatures anatomy. Hank Hill was now on his back with a pillow poorly tucked underneath his head. After several long seconds, Fluttershy was finally able to break the silence, “Wha-what is that?” Twilight quickly looked at her and Spike, “Oh good you’re back”, she said with a concerned look. “I’m not sure what it is, it looks like something that’s from the everfree forest … but it’s not, it appeared after I tested this new spell I’ve been working on, sadly it didn’t work the way I thought it would.”, she said with a slightly surprised voice. Fluttershy slowly approached Hank who was still unconscious. She sat down near Twilight and looked at him. “I-I’ve never seen anything like it” Fluttershy looked at Twilight, “Where do you suppose it’s from?”, she asked. “Well I know it came from that portal … but that’s to the extent of my knowledge.”, Twilight said with a frown. “Oh” Fluttershy replied. Her attention quickly went back onto Hank, she then began to stroke his head with her right forehoof. “It’s okay big guy I won’t hu-”, Hank suddenly rose his head and jolted his head towards Fluttershy. Without taking a single breath he screamed, “Bwhaaaahaaaaaa!!!” Fluttershy quickly screamed back, “Aaahhhh!” Hank Hill got mad, his face scrunching up with a new angered expression. “God damn it Bobby!”, he yelled. He slowly sat up, “Where the hell am I? Bobby!” Hank quickly begins looking around, observing his new location. “Bobby?”, Hank asked, his sight now looking back at the multi-colored midget horses. Twilight and Fluttershy looked at him in curiosity. Fluttershy was lying on the ground trying to catch her breath. Hank looks at both Fluttershy and Twilight with a lot anger. “Will you two take off those damn masks, or else I’ll kick your ass!” Hank yelled while his face was turning into a tomato. Fluttershy began to back away; Hank’s sudden outburst had scared her. Twilight on the other hoof, was surprised that this creature had been angered this much. “Dale! Bobby! Ya’ think this is funny? This is just flat out annoying! Now I won’t ask again, take off those damn masks!” Hank Hill screeched. “Mask? What do you mean by that?”, Twilight said with a confused look on her face. “You know what I mean Bobby! Or are you Dale? Doesn't matter! Take off those masks before I take them off for you!” Twilight was now really confused at the thought that she, and Fluttershy, weren’t actually talking multi-colored midget horses. “Umm....We’re not wearing masks...sir?”, Twilight said, with a very confused look still on her face. “You know damn well what I’m talking about! Now take off those masks!”, Hank had yelled while approaching Twilight. Twilight didn't know whether to back off or stand her ground against this strange creature, figuring that if worst came to worst she could use her magic to stun Hank. “Now,” Hank was now standing directly in front of Twilight, “take off the damned mask!” Twilight looked up at the towering creature in front of her, “I’m....not wearing a mask?” “That’s it! I’m taking it off for you since you’re too stupid to listen to me!” , Hank yelled while grabbing Twilight’s horn. “Dagnabit! It won’t come off!”, Hank said while trying to pull of Twilight’s horn. “Ahhh! Let go of me! That hurts! Ahhhh!” , Twilight yelled while trying to get Hank’s hands off her with her forehoofs. “What in the hell? Did you use some kind of super glue for the horn Bobby?”, Hank yelled. By now Fluttershy was in a corner crying and covering her eyes. “Let go of me now or I’ll be forced to use magic!”, Twilight yelled. “Bobby, you know magic isn't real! Ahhhhhhh!”, Hank quickly let go as his hands were burnt by Twilight charging her horn with magic. (Is that how you describe that?) “What kind of.....Bwhaaaaaaa! They’re real! Bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!” , Hank yelled while realizing that the talking multi-colored midget horses were, in fact, real. “Yes,” Twilight straightened out her messy mane and rubbed her horn, “we are real! Encase you didn’t know, you’re in Equestria.” Hank backed away, he was in utter shock. Him? In some place called Equestria? This must’ve been a dream....or was it actually real? These were the thoughts that were rushing through Hank Hill’s mind. “What the? How the hell am I here!?!? I’m supposed to be in Arlen making steaks for the family!”, Hank Hill yelled while backing away from Twilight. By now Fluttershy had stopped crying and began stand back up. “We....we won’t hurt you”, Fluttershy said timidly. “How the hell are a bunch of midget horses supposed to hurt me!?!?”, Hank Hill said before continuing with his rant, “If two-hundred Texans could hold off over nine thousand mehicans at the Alamo then how in the hell can two midget horses hurt me, a Texan?”
