//------------------------------// // "Mein Rainbow Dash!"/What Happens When You Put Two Anti-Physics Psychos in One Room? // Story: The Best Winter Wrap-Up Ever! // by Mr Anomalous //------------------------------// The Rainbow-maned one called "Rainbow Dash" groaned as her back was almost snapped in two by an absolute constricting hug dealt out by Zee Captein. "Huh? What? Please...let go of me..." "Alright, fine, but you are still best pony. Always." "Uh...okay?" As the strange alien skipped away happily, the Six Elements of Harmony watching him strangely, Rainbow Dash leaned in towards Pinkie Pie. "How did he know my name?" "I dunno, but I like him!" Further away, in the shade of a wall near the edge of the garden walls, Charles Snippy and Princess Celestia conversed. "So is he...dangerous?" "Yes...no...kind of..." "Mr. Snippy, you are the first group of known aliens to ever set foot on Equis, and half of your group decided to try and invade Equestria, so I hope you'll understand when I say that's not enough." "Alright, alright. Well, he is if he wants to. That mug of his? It's sentient and can ion lasers. He has also hacked into an alien machine and rigged it for himself with it." Celestia raised an eyebrow, "What? How?" "I really don't know. I should also mention that that cup, a damaged straw, and a very specific ladybug are all collaborating to kill him." "..." "It's true." "Anything else?" "Well he started World War III, either on purpose or not I'm not sure, he is the very definition of Deus Ex Machina, can survive almost anything, is the single most Radioactive thing I have ever come across, the luckiest living thing ever to plague this plain of existence, rigged a flying train, and he is an intellectual genius." "This...is quite a bit to process." "You get used to the feeling." "Come to think of it, he reminds me of someone." "Who could he possibly remind you of?" Celestia gestured out to the grassy area in front of them, where Rainbow Dash was racing-and beating-the Captain-and-pilot plane while Pinkie Pie watched, and the rest of the Elements spoke with themselves in the shade of Discord's statue. "See the pink one?" "That watching him play? Yeah." "She is known as 'Pinkie Pie,' and she has a similar list of feats and personality." "Do tell." "Well, according to Rainbow Dash she cannot be escaped, she seems to know quite a bit about everything, has some innate ability to sense vague future happenings, and other things that cannot be explained." Snippy thought. "Do you think they'll hit it off?" "Well...yes, I suppose they will. Have they really met each other yet?" "No, they haven't." Celestia smirked. "Would you like to conduct an experiment?" "Why hasn't anything happened yet?" "I don't know; I'm surprised." Six hours ago, Zee Captein and Pinkie Pie had been put in a room together and, shockingly...nothing happened. Seriously. No explosions, inter-planetary life-forms, zombies, rifts in space and/or time, or anything. Not a peep. "I'm actually getting worried," Twilight stated, "What if they hurt each other?" "Nah," Snippy replied, "The Captain doesn't really get hurt." "Come to think of it, neither does Pinkie," Twilight said to herself. "But what's happening?" Twilight and Snippy had been outside for the entire time, reading monitors and listening, waiting to see what would happen. Alexander looked bored in the corner. Twilight, who, at the beginning, had been ecstatic, was now just as bored as everyone. Then she perked up. She turned around with an unsettling smile on her face and faced Dr. Gromov. "I talked to you yet, and Celestia tells me you're a scientist!" "Uh...yes?" "Ooh, in what?" "I have many degrees, mos of them pertaining to computers and similar technologies." "Ooh, ooh, tell me, what's a computer?" Eventually, Snippy tuned the two of them out; traveling with two psychos who never did shut up had its advantages After a while longer, with the two scientists yammering and nothing happening in the room, Snippy had had it. "Alright, that's it; I'm checking." "No, wait!" Twilight and Alex called out after him in unison, but it was too late; Snippy swung open the door. And froze. The Captain was there, Pinkie Pie was there, and they were both fine, but...a man in a skin-tight, red suit adorned with weapons was there, a pudgy man in a gas mask and what seemed to be a flame thrower was there, and a very-frightened looking teenager in a fedora and glasses was there...and they were all having a tea party. "Wh...wh-wh-wha?" The one in the red suit cleared his throat and said, "Uh, excuse me, do you mind?" The pudgy man said something that sounded like an agreement but was muffled by his gas mask. The kid in a fedora called out in a shaky voice, "Uh, I-I'm just the author of this s-story..." Suddenly, a rift similar to the one that had drug Snippy and his crew to Equestria in the first place briefly appeared and spat out another man. He hurriedly stood up and Snippy leaned back, intimidated by his size. "What? What is going on? Where is my sandvich? Engineer! What have you done?" The portal appeared again and sucked the fedora-toting member of the tea party back to where ever he came from. Snippy slowly shut the door, and faced a concerned Twilight. "..." "They're fine."
