//------------------------------// // Portal. // Story: Penguin Portal // by Shim15 //------------------------------// "Sup, G. Ya rang in?" said the peach penguin dj as she entered the inventor's lab. A blue penguin with glasses and in white lab coat turned, and looked up. "Why, yes Cadence. I thought you might like to assist me in a new project I'm working on." "Sure thing!" Cadence replied, waving a flipper at him. "But can it be fast, please? I have a new album deal thing with a RSC. We meet at the coffee shop." G looked puzzled. "RSC...?" "Yeah, RSC. Ya know... Recording Studio Company?" "Oh! Yes...well I'm not sure what the precise time it will take for this experiment to work but according to my caculations and resorces I have estimated the time of travel it may accure for travel." "...G, the only thing I understood was travel. What do you mean by travel?" "Well...thanks to my knowledge of science and physics, I may have made correct cordnation to another dimension." Cadence just gave him a blank look. He sighed, as he rethought his words. "I may have found portal to another world." "Your kiddin! 'Nother world G? The only time I'd believe that is when Herbert leaves Club Penguin." "But it's true. Here, follow me." they waddled to a tall, widescreen- "Tv?" Cadence asked, skepticly. She huffed. "All this for a joke? Yeah G, I know when you watch it seems you go to another world but why-" "But that's it. It looks like a regular television, because I made it that way. See, if Herbert finds out, and if there really was a portal to another world he'd more then likely," "Try to use it to take other that world." she shook her head. "Okay, I dig. But one thing I dun get. Why don't you send of your agent buds in there?" "Well we can't risk losing any agents." G explained. She frowned. "So you'd risk an extreme, popular, dj civilian?" "Exactly." she rolled her eyes and huffed. Well if she was right, why'd she be worked up about it? More then likely he'd drink to much coffee and thought he found another world. "Alright G, but I doubt it'll work." "Excellent! Let me turn it on." he went it's right side and pressed a small button. When the television portal turned on, pastal colored swirls came on screen. He extended a flipper to the screen. "Ma'dam." Once again, she rolled her eyes and waddled toward it. She slowly was extending a flipper to it, but G got impaient and just pushed her in. "Hey-!" she yelled, but was soon to busy screaming as she went in the portal, swirling around in circles as if going down a whirl pool. After a few minutes of swirling down, her screaming was interuppted when she yelped: "Ouch!" she had landed on a hard surface. She layed on the floor, motionless. She was to dizzy to move. She groaned and put a flipper to her head. No...it wasn't a flipper any more. It felt...weird. "Who are you? How did you come here?" came a shriek. When Cadence finally opened her eyes, she couldn't believe what she saw. Standing before her was a white unicorn, with royal purple mane and tail. It looked horrified, as it's deep blue eyes scanned her up and down. "W...wha-? Oh. I just....I'm sorry, but... are you a... unicorn?" The pony looked disgusted by this question. "Of course I'm a unicorn!" it said, in a thick British accent. "I'm a race of the most noble speicies of ponies. What did you think I was, a mule?" "No! Chillz out, lady. It was just a question." "A question that came from another unicorn. And you did not answer my question. Who are you and how did you come here?" "I'm Cadence, and I just landed here- wait. I'm not a unicorn." Cadence said, huffing. "Yes, you are." "No I'm not." "Are you calling me blind?" the unicorn said with a hint of challenge in her voice. "No, I'm calling ya crazy!" "Upon my word!" the mare gasped, horrfied. She then pulled out a giant mirror while saying firmly. "Yes. You. Are!" Cadence looked at the mirror. She squinted her eyes, trying to get a better look, then squeaked. She looked closer. There, replacing her fabulos penguin reflection was a peach unicorn with short, messy pink and purple mane, and royal purple eyes. Her headphones, scarf, and bracelets were there to. The unicorn flipped her curly mane, sticking her muzzle in the air. "I told you so." "This must be a joke.....totally uncool!" Cadence said, waving a hoof at mirror as if trying to erase it. "Uncool? Hmm. Just as I'd figure, Dj type. Now that I think about it, you do remind me of Dj Pon3." "Who?" though she didn't know this other... pony, (which she assumed that's the type of creature Pon3 was,) the sound of a fellow Dj seem to make things 10x better. "Well, some ponies call her Vinyl Scratch. As to your appearance I assume you as well are one of those?" At first, Cadence didn't get what the unicorn was saying, until she thought over the tone which she said it. Then it hit her. "Oh, yeah! I'm a total, extremely popular Dj where I come from." "Uh huh. Where is that, exactly?" "Umm...you wouldn't know where it is. Hard to explain." The unicorn didn't look impressed. Instead she turned her head, flipping her mane to the side, while moving the mirror away from Cadence. "Well I'm Rarity." she said, batting her eyelashes. "And I'm well known and well respected fashion designer here in all of Ponyville. Also," she added with pride. "I am part of the Elements of Harmony. I am the element of Generosity." Cadence didn't know what the mare was talking abot, but she let it slide. She sighed, and rolled her eyes to the side. "Yeah...well please listen up. I'm a tad lost, since I've never been here. Could you direct me to..." she paused, trying to think where to go. Well she wanted to learn about this world so, the library. But she wanted to meet the Dj Pon3 Scratch or whatever-her-name-was. But she couldn't do any of that with an empty stomach! After a moment of thought, she finally asked "Could you show me the way to somewhere I can eat?" "I can!" came a high pitch voice that made Cadence jump. Rartiy looked to her left seeing a pink pony with cotton-candy like mane. "Pinkie Pie, would you be ever so kind and knock next time?" "Sorry Rarity. But I couldn't help notice you were talking to a new hungry pony!" the pink pony said. She turned to Cadence with a big grin on her face. "Hi? Who are you? Where ya from? You're new, aren't you? Course, cause I've never seen ya around and I know EVERY pony here. I'm Pinkie Pie, like you heard Rarity say. What's your name?" Pinkie Pie talked so fast Cadence could barely understand her. The only thing she heard was 'What is your name?' "Um.....Cadence..." "Cadence? Really? That's funny- not as in ha ha, well kinda, but funny as in we have a princess here name Cadence. Hmm, now that I look at closer you almost have the colors as her. Like... Vinyl Scratch dressed up as Princess Cadence." Pinkie took a deep breathe, while Cadence's stomach growled. Pinkie squeed. "Oh yeah, that's right, you're hungry! Well I know a great place to eat, Sugar Cube Corner! Then you can meet everypony! Oooh! Oh! Oh! Oh! We should have a big welcome party! Everypony will be invited so we can all get to know ya and-" While Pinkie was dragging Cadence and rambling away, the Dj heard sophsicated Rarity say: "Oh dear."
