Chapter 3 – Spike I Have a Feeling We’re Not in Equestria Anymore
After what seemed like several minutes the lavender unicorn began to stir. She slowly awoke to the sound of a howling wind and an unusual swaying motion. The motion reminded her of being on a boat or riding in a flying chariot. But that wind was loud and hurt her ears and as she listened, she began to hear a voice that sounded distant but seemed to be getting louder, she tried to hone in on the voice.
“Twilight!” The voice yelled, “Twilight wake up! You’ve got to see this!”
Twilight recognized the voice as Spike her assistant and slowly opened her eyes and sat up, that’s when she realized what had just happened. “Spike what’s going on, where’s the tornado?” She asked as the realization of the rocking motion began to dawn on her.
“Twilight look out the window,” Spike said with a look of shock on his face.
She approached the window and looking out to see a wall of clouds in every direction, with the occasional object drifting past. But before she had time to grasp the situation a pony happened to float by lounging in a rocking chair.
“Madam Mayor is that you?” Twilight asks with a rather confused expression on her face.
“Oh hello Twilight Sparkle, how have you been, such fine weather we’re having today don’t you think?” She said.
“Um, I guess so, you don’t notice anything strange right now Madam Mayor?” Twilight asked, as doubts began to form in her mind.
“No, everything seems fine just have to finish sewing these socks of mine together” Mayor said as the wind began to pick up and she drifted away from the window. “Well, I’ve got to go, see you later Miss Sparkle” Mayor said, waving as the storm pulled her away from the window.
Twilight just sat there for a minute as she tried to puzzle together what was going on. “Spike could you pinch me I think I am dreaming” She asked. “Ouch! No I’m awake this doesn’t make any sense” she said aloud arguing with herself.
“Twilight,” Spike said snapping her from her daze. “Something else is approaching the window,” he exclaimed as he pointed to the window.
Twilight looked to the window just as a cow floated up to the window.
“Oh! hello Daisy Jo?” Twilight said, yet again befuddled by the sudden appearance of somepony outside the window.
“Moooooo! ... Oh hello Twilight have you seen Pinkie Pie I wanted to thank her and the Cake’s for those wonderful cookies the other day” she mooused.
“No, have you tried Sugar Cube Corner in Ponyville?” Twilight stated.
“Well that’s just it, I was traveling there when suddenly I was picked up in this big gust of wind and now I’m here don’t cha know?”
“No I don’t know! This doesn’t make any sense” Twilight yelled, even more confused now than before.
“Well if I were you, I wouldn’t work yourself up over spilt milk Twilight. Well I got to go, see you around the farm.” Daisy Jo said waving as she too drifted away from the house in the winds of the storm.
Just as suddenly as she appeared and before twilight could get back to the conundrum of these situations two stallions rowing a boat approached the window. They both wore straw hats with the same red and white striped manes.
“Not those two again,” Spike growled as they approached the window.
The brothers proceeded to throw an anchor overboard landing it inside the house where it latched onto the window sill holding the boat in place.
“What do you two want?” Twilight asked with daggers in her eyes.
“What’s wrong? Still upset over that little cider incident” they said together. “We thought you of all ponies would know to love and tolerate others” they preached.
“Okay fine, now what is it that you want?” Twilight asked again.
“Why we saw your predicament and wanted to offer you a proposition,” Flim started. “And well, we have an exciting new product just right for you." Flam continued.
“What could you two possible have that would be helpful to me right now?” Twilight asked her curiosity getting the better of her.
“Why it’s only the latest and greatest invention ever made” Flim exclaimed waving his hooves in the air. “It will revolutionize the industry.” Flam continued. “It’s such a new concept that we don’t even have a fancy and catchy name for it yet” They finished together.
“Well quit stalling and tell me what it is” Twilight yelled suddenly before they could continue their rambling.
“Why it’s a magical flying rowboat of course” They said pointing at the boat they were in, “and we are willing to trade this awesome new invention for the small price of your house” they said.
“Really?” Twilight said the curiosity now gone from her eyes. “You want to sell me a small flying rowboat when I am apparently in a larger flying house, that doesn't seem like a very fair trade.”
“Um well yes,” the brothers said sweat starting to roll down their faces when they realized she had a solid argument. “But it seems that you are not interested in our product,” Flim said. “Come on brother, Lets head to the next house maybe we will have luck there” Flam said as he removed the anchor. “Good Day Miss Sparkle” the brothers said, tipping their hats as they continued to row the boat away.
Twilight walked over to the window and looked out to see the storm raging around her. Then she looked down, “Sweet Celestia!” Twilight cursed, catching a glimpse of how high up she was and seeing the funnel of clouds down below. “We must be up inside the Cyclone” She exclaimed as she stepped back from the window. Suddenly Spike yelled.
“Twilight look who it is!” he yelled fear showing on his face as his claw pointed out the window as the figure came into focus.
“It’s Trixie!” Twilight said as Trixie came into view pulling her cart behind her.
Trixie noticed her from outside the window and glared at her as she approached. “That’s the Great and Powerful Trixie to You!” She yelled as she stopped next to the window and began to transform. Her cape and hat changed from a light purple with stars on them to completely solid black with no distinguishable features. Her cart disappeared and a broom formed underneath her and she proceeded to fly on it. She slowly drifted away laughing evilly as she vanished from sight. As soon as she was gone the wind began to slow down and the house began to fall.
“Spike hang on to something” Twilight said as she jumped onto the bed and wrapper her hooves around one of the bed rails. The feeling of weightlessness took over as the house spun and dropped altitude causing everything in the room to bounce around. Twilight and Spike were being tossed around as the bed shifted until with a sudden lurch and a loud bang the house came to a sudden and abrupt stop.
“Eep!” Twilight squeaked as everything came to a sudden stop and the noise of the storm suddenly ended. Twilight looked around for a bit and then got up put Spike up on her back and proceeded to walk through the destroyed house.
Neither of them said a word as they left the bedroom, Twilight put on her saddle bags as she stepped through the door way into the hall. Ignoring the state of the house she began to approach the front door curious to see just where she had landed. The complete silence was making her nervous as she approached the door.
Twilight using her magic opened the door to reveal a magnificent landscape filled with color, far more colorful then Ponyville had been that day. There were plants everywhere, most of them she didn’t recognize, which cause Twilight to become upset when she realized she left her botany book at the library. Next, she notice the yellow pathway made of bricks and the small pond filled with large lily pads
And there was a small bridge over the pond. Twilight could even hear several different birds chirping nearby
“Whoa!” Spike said practically speechless at the sudden change of scenery.
“Fluttershy would love this place” Twilight said commenting on the variety of flora and the numerous sounds of the fauna in the distance.
As Twilight proceeded to walk out of the doorway, she saw several small buildings that looked like cottages, as she got closer she realized that they were too small for your average pony to use. And that the yellow path seemed to spiral into a central point with a red pathway at what appeared to be the center of the small village.
Twilight approached the small pond then turned around to look at her number one assistant, “Spike, I have a feeling we are not in Equestria anymore,” she exclaimed, unaware of the numerous eyes watching her from the bushes. “We must be over the rainbow,” Twilight said, remembering the song that Fluttershy had sung earlier that day.
“Twilight I think we are being watched?” Spike said a hint of worry in his voice.
“Spike you're just being paranoid,” Twilight said as she lower the baby dragon off her back onto the yellow pathway.
“Then what’s that!” Spike yelled. Twilight turned to see a small bubble approaching, as she looked at it closely she realized it was radiating a lot of magic and it was getting bigger.
“Spike get behind me,” Twilight said as the bubble floated closer to her it was now as big as her and was getting bigger.
The bubble had a rainbow hue to it and once it touched the ground it changed to a slight pink color before it suddenly burst, sending out a wave of magic and a flash of light as bright as the sun. Twilight and Spike were suddenly hit by the wave of magic and the ensuing flash and everything became engulfed in a bright white light.
To Be Continued…
Chapter End Authors Notes:
So yeah included a lot of random guests in this chapter, Sorry it’s so short this time but still haven’t figured out how to toss the munchkins into the pony universe yet I have a few thoughts and think I have narrowed it down to a few options so hopefully I can get the next chapter out in under two weeks. Secret message begin: If you read this and comment on the story and mention reading this you win a cookie. Well next chapter will really start getting into the Land of Oz and the meat… scratch that…, the leafy goodness of the story. Feel free to comment and leave constructive criticism so I may improve. Also if you see any mistakes let me know so I can correct. If I forgot to ponify something let me know, I tend to miss some things when I am watching the film, reading the script and typing the ponified story at the same time, occasionally tossing in some original dialogue to make it much less of an exact copy of the original story so it still provides an interesting read. Thank you.
