//------------------------------// // A Discovery // Story: A My Little Pony Crossover // by Golden Age //------------------------------// "C'mon, Fluttershy, boy, I just can't wait to hear your birdies sing!", Pinkie Pie the jubilant pony started as she hopped alongside her friend, Futtershy, on the outskirts of Ponyville. "Oh, Pinkie, I know that you're going to be pleased with them! As a matter of fact, I've been training them for weeks.", she replied. "Well I've been partying for weeks! You know, I've tried to train Gummy to sing before, but that usually ends up with icing getting in my mane! He's, err, definitely not a singer, but he sure can bust a move on the dance floor! One time, he nearly choked on baby Pound Cake's hoof and…" Fluttershy's attention was drawn from Pinkie Pie's spiel as her wandering eyes caught a nearby object. The mare had never seen anything like it in her life. It was no surprise that she started to shake in nervousness. "Um, Pinkie?" "He even knows t'ai chi!" "Pinkie!" "Mm-hmmmm?" The yellow pony's trembling hoof pointed into the direction of the foreign object. "Wha-what i-is…" "What in the name of the cupcake overlord is that thingy?!?!" Fluttershy, always anxious around things she was not familiar with, wanted to escape as soon and fast as possible. The curious Pinkie Pie, however, was in no hurry to leave. "Let's, um, we can go home, now, an-" "The birdies can wait, mare! I'm checking that thingy out!", Pinkie confidently said as she trotted over to the object, leaving Fluttershy to cower with her hooves over her eyes by herself. "Pinkie! Come back here (squee)!" It was obvious that Pinkie was not going to back down. Nopony would have expected her to, anyways. Approaching the object off the trail, Pinkie could finally see it up close. In front of the mare was a large boxy metal item with glass, rubber, and other miscellaneous parts covering it. "Woooow, Fluttershy, you've gotta see this thing!" Shakily uncovering her hoof from one eye, the pegasus pony saw Pinkie playfully bouncing her forehoof against one of the round rubber parts and then running around the object at every angle to examine it. "Oh my, Pinkie, you really shouldn't be playing with something you don't know-" "WOW, Fluttershy, this alien thing has me on it!" "Um, that's your reflection, Pinkie." "DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE!!!!" "Oh, sorry, um-" "'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear', wow! This thingy has magical mirrors like from the fun house! Lookie here, I look sooooo close but I'm really super duper far far away from the mirror!" "That is, um, fascinating-" "Hey, Fluttershy, what does 'GMC' stand for?" "I don't know, and I really don't want to eith-" "Fluttershy!!! There's chairs in this thingy! Let's see if they're comfy!" "No let's not-" Pinkie popped up from behind Fluttershy and started pushing her towards the object before Fluttershy even knew it. "I hope these seats are like the comfy clouds I hear Rainbow Dash go on and on about in her sleep! I heard her sleep talk when she was napping, she was all, 'Oh, this cloud bed's so soft and cozy, oh Soarin, mmmh…", Pinkie said as she was pushing Fluttershy. Fluttershy, however, was nearly panicking as she tried desperately to escape. Getting up close to the object was the last thing she wanted to do. Gritting her teeth and digging her hooves into the soil, her efforts were no match for Pinkie's push. When her body made contact with the metal part of the object, she thought that her life as she knew was over, as she typically felt whenever she encountered something she was not used to. However when she found herself unharmed and still breathing, she lost most signs of nervousness. "Pinkie, w-w-what is this?" "Heck if I know! C'mon, let's try out those seats inside!", Pinkie implied as she turned her attention back towards the object. "Hmmm, now how in the wide wide wacky world are we gonna get in?" Entering the object proved rather difficult. The two ponies were not used to this kind of technology. They knew that if there were seats inside, then there had to be a way to enter. After examining the side profile at every angle, Pinkie came to a sudden conclusion. "A-ha!", she started, "It's gotta be through the window!" Pinkie rose up a forehoof and punched the side window with all her strength. The only outcome was an intense pain on the mare's right forehoof and no damage done to the glass. However, the object started to wail an excruciating alarm, causing the two ponies to panic. "Owowowowowowow, bad window! Bad window! You're not invited to my birthday party!", Pinkie Pie yelled as she waved her forehoof about. "Pinkie what did you do?!?!", Fluttershy yelled as she backed away, forehooves covering her ears. "I don't know I don't know I don't know but, oh, the alarm! Make it stop! Make it stahhp!" "(gasp) This could be an animal! Pinkie! You just punched an innocent creature for no absolute reason! How could you mistreat such a poor animal?!?! Listen to him cry!", Fluttershy angrily yelled as her eyes started to water up. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry I punched you, Mr. Animal, forgive me, oh forgive me!", Pinkie begged as she knelt on her back legs in front of the object. Fluttershy was hugging the object in its side, trying to comfort it. "It's okay, don't cry now, I know Pinkie didn't mean any harm.", she said as she cried, herself. The loud sound of the alarm attracted some attention from Ponyville, and bystanders were met with the source of the sound being an inanimate metal object being hugged by a tearful Fluttershy and had Pinkie Pie mercifully kneeling before it. Commotion arose from the crowd, as nopony had any knowledge as to what this object was. "Something tells me I need to examine this thing.", said the smartest mare in town, Princess Twilight Sparkle.
