Portals Are Sometimes Fun

Chapter 2

The girls were all sitting on their haunches all around me. I was leaning up against the tree that I passed out under. They were all a little saddened that they couldn't send me back home. I just shrugged off the idea.

"Well, now that I'm stuck here forever, I might as well tell you girls a little about my self. My full name is Justin Bailey Moran, and I really loathe my middle name. I am 15 years old, and to my parents, that doesn't count as adult. I love sugary sweets, animals, sometimes a good book, and running. I hate mostly people and certain types of music. My favorite type of music is New Rock, New Metal, and Dubstep. I'm also a bit of an asshole, slash, smartass"

They all stared at me with interest, and were a bit shocked when I said I hated his own kind.The girls didn't hate anyone of their kind. Except for Rarity, who hated Prince Blueblood's guts.

Twilight just had to ask, "Um, Justin, not to be rude or anything, but why do you hate your own kind?"

"To answer your question, some humans are mean. Kids at my school judged me for MY choices, for example, my hair." I had long, straight hair, barely touching my shoulders. "On my planet, boys had short hair, I like long hair. And they hated the idea that I liked Metal and Rock. They would try to get me to listen to Rap and Country. I try it, of course, but still hate it. My motto has always been, 'If you haven't heard it, seen it, or taste it, your opinion is invalid'. Funny thing is, they didn't even give my music choice a chance. I don't really know that much of the government, but what I DO know, is that they try to get as much money as they possibly can. You see, on my planet, money is power, the more money you had, well, more power to you."

"Princess Celestia and Luna are basically our government, but they run everything perfectly. Plus, they control the sun and the moon." Twilight informed me. I was a little shocked by that.

"Woah, woah, woah, woah. Your rulers control the sun and moon?" Twilight nodded. "That's awesome. How long have they been doing it?"

"For over a thousand years. They are pretty good at it-."

"Holy shit. They're a thousand years old?" I blurted out. "Okay, how about you girls tell me a little about yourselves."

Twilight was about to go first, but got interrupted by Rainbow Dash. "I'm 15 years old. I love to fly and go as fast as I can. I help control the weather with my weather team. We all work at Cloudsdale, another city here in Equestria. I love your type of music as well, and I hate things that aren't cool. You're okay." I gave a small smile at that.

Rarity then took the floor, "I'm 16 years old. I love fashion and fashion related things. I work where I live, I call it 'Carousel Boutique'. I don't really like your choice of music, but I do love the sounds of choir and orchestra, like what our good friend Octavia plays. And I hate uncouth things, and dislike your choice of clothing." I was wearing long, baggy jeans with white shoes. I wore a black shirt that on the front of it showed a grenade and written on the grenade was, 'If it's war they want...'. I also wore a green jacket over it. I didn't really care and just shrugged off what Rarity said and decided to ask her about it later after everyone has introduced themselves to me.

It was Applejack's turn to speak. "Ah'm 15 years old, Ah love running as well. Ah love apples, and just like ar' friend Rarity, here, I werk where Ah live, Sweet Apple Acres. Ya might not like me for this, but Ah love country music. Ah hate frilly things, and people who really disrespect others."

"Look, Applejack, I don't dislike you for liking country music. Whatever you like, that's your personal life. And Rarity, I actually like choir and orchestra music, too. If your friend Octavia is playing any time, I would love to go with." Rarity's eyes grew big along with her smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, Justin. Of course you can come. She gave us all V.I.P passes, and I would love for you to meet her. She is very nice, and she plays the Cello. She has a concert in 2 weeks you can come with us." I smiled at the idea of finally going to my first concert. My parents never allowed me to go to any type of concert. They were always very protective of me.

Pinkie Pie shoved Rarity out of the way and was now upside down in my face. "I'm~ 14 years old. I love sugary sweets and I love to party. I work where I live, too, Sugar Cube Corner. Except I don't own the place, it belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Anyways, I love pop, house, and break dancing music. Mainly songs made by Vinyl Scratch. I hate things that make other things sad, and I also hate being sad." Then Pinkie gasped out of nowhere. "I should throw you a party a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party! I'm gonna invite everyone in Ponyville. I'm gonna need streamers, banners, balloons, cake, cupca-" I put my hand over her mouth to stop her from talking, and pushed her slowly to the left to get her out of my face.

Twilight finally got her turn. "I'm 15 years old. I love books and I am a faithful student to Princess Celestia. I live where I work at. I work at a library, and have an assistant named Spike. I love Dubstep, also songs made by Vinyl Scratch. I hate things that aren't perfectly perfect, being tardy, and I hate things that I can't explain." I was almost always late to class. I didn't really care. I mean, sure I get a stern talking to by the teachers, but I just tune it out.

The yellow pony was sitting their the entire time, quietly. "Do you want to tell me a little bit more about yourself?"

She quivered a bit. "I-I-I'm 15 years old. I love animals, I look after them and give them away, like an adoption agency. I live where I work. I love calm music, if that's okay with you. I don't really hate anything, I may dislike things a little, but I don't hate anything." She smiled at me, with a little bit of nervousness in her eyes. I looked at the sky and noticed the sun is halfway under the horizon.

"It's getting late, you girls should all head home."

"You're right. C'mon, Justin" I looked at Twilight, a bit confused at what she said. "What? You didn't think we were gonna leave you out here all by yourself, did you?" I nodded slowly.

"But, whose house am I gonna stay at?" They all looked at each other, with worried faces.

"You can live with me, Justin. I'm sure Spike will love to have a guy friend, for once."

We all stood up almost at the same time. They are almost as tall as me. Their heads are just under my chin, and I'm only 5'2''.

Applejack spoke up, "Hey, Justin. Do ya think ya can at least take a hit."

"Yeah, I think so. Why do you a-" Before I could finish, Applejack turned around and kicked me hard a little below my knee. "AAHHHH!!!" I did a 180 degree turn around and punched the tree behind me as hard as I can. "AHH!"

"Why did ya punch the tree?"

"Why did YOU kick me!?"

"I thought ya said ya could take a hit."

"I said I THINK I could! And to answer your question, I punched the tree, because I taught my reflexes to hit the person back as fast as I could if they hit me. I didn't want to hurt any of you, so I punched the closest object. And that happened to be this tree."

"Ah'm sorry, Justin. Ah should've thought before I did anything."

"It's okay. Let's just shove all of this behind us and start our journey towards Ponyville." I stood up and limped my way towards the girls. We were now on our way towards Ponyville. My new home.
