Our heroes run away into the forest, terrified of what they saw, how can an animal so adorable speak the tongue of man? Shaun, Nicolas and Gary had no idea how, they all stopped in the forest to catch their breath, well, Gary and Shaun did, Nicolas didn't,
"What the bloody hell was that?" Gary loudly asked, his breath almost gone.
"It was a talking pony" Shaun replied.
"Don't be ridiculous, Shaun" Nicolas told him, "It can't have talked. We're all drunk, it's probably in our heads"
"We should all be seeing different things, Nicolas" Shaun replied, "And if we all saw the same thing, it must be real"
"Fucking hell" Gary exclaimed.
"Alright let's just calm down and figure this out" Nicolas said, "There was that rift in the ground, there's a chance we've might gone through a portal"
"Portal? You're talking rubbish, mate" Gary said.
"Really? The Sun's out and there is talking horses" Nicolas replied.
"Bugger. What if that portal was left by the Network?" Shaun questioned.
Gary snapped his fingers, "That is most likely it"
"I thought they left?" Nicolas asked.
"They left Earth. I don't know about the rest of the universe" Gary told him.
Gary went over to a nearby tree and leaned against it, he then pulled out a packet of cigarettes from one his trench coat pockets, and got out a cigarette and a lighter, he lit the cigarette and inhaled,
"You got another one of those?" Shaun asked Gary.
"Sure mate" Gary replied as he chucked the cigarette packet to him.
"Thanks" Shaun said as he got cigarette out and chucked the packet back to Gary.
Shaun leaned over towards Gary's lighter and Gary lit his cigarette, Gary then offered Nicolas a cigarette,
"Want one, Nicolas?" Gary asked.
"No thanks" He declined, "Don't like them"
"Suit yourself" Gary shrugged.
"So, should we think of a plan?" Shaun asked.
"Well, I guess once you two have smoked your cigarettes, we should just stroll into town, and find out what the hell is going on" Nicolas replied.
"You think the Network could be behind this?" Gary asked.
"Don't know yet. I'm not jumping to conclusion just yet" Nicolas replied
After their little break and planning, our faithful heroes finally decided to make their way into town, when the trio stepped onto Ponyville grounds, they were met with instant stares and quiet sobs from children who thought they were monsters. It was bad for the lads as well, they heard ponies mutter about them behind their backs, hearing them speak was enough to send shivers down our heroes' spines.
"Just keep it together guys" Nicolas whispered.
They where then stopped in their tracks again, and by the same pink pony who stopped them just a few minutes prior,
"Hi!" She greeted, "I'm Pinkie Pie"
Gary tipped his hat to the cheerful pony as a sign of greeting, he couldn't really express any words to what he was currently seeing,
"Welcome to Ponyville" Pinkie told them, "I'll be glad to show you around town"
"Em..." Shaun said.
"Um..." Gary followed.
"That would great, Miss Pie, thank you" Nicolas finished.
"Follow me please" Pinkie told them.
And so, Shaun, Nicolas and a still drunk Gary followed the pinkette around the town, she showed them the sights of Ponyville, the town hall, the library, among other sites, Pinkie was like a tour guide leaving wisecracks and silly comments at every place they came across,
"Well, that seems to be everywhere in Ponyville" Pinkie told them, "I'll be in that library I showed you if you need to ask me anything" Pinkie said.
"Thank you, Pinkie" Nicolas thanked her before she bounced off.
"Holy fuck!" Gary exclaimed after she left, "That was the single most disturbing experience I've ever had, it's like when you trip on acid and it's a bad trip whilst watching the fucking Teletubbies"
"What?" Nicolas asked, confused of Gary just said.
"Nicolas, what's the plan now? We need to find a way to get back to London" Shaun asked and explained.
"I know, Shaun. But I still haven't figured out what's happening yet" Nicolas replied.
"We could go and see Pinkie at that library" Shaun optioned.
"That's not a bad idea, Shaun. Yeah, let's see Pinkie" Nicolas replied.
"Let's Boo-Boo!" Gary cheered as he went ahead of Shaun and Nicolas towards the library.
Shaun and Nicolas then quickly looked at each other and shrugged at Gary comment, as if to say "What the fuck is the matter with Gary King"?.
They made it to the library, Gary didn't express his opinion on it the first time he passed by it, but this time he said,
"It's a tree, with a door on it and a few windows"
"You need sleep, Gary. You're drunk and you're knackered" Nicolas told him.
Shaun knocked on the door and then told Nicolas and Gary to be quiet by pressing the side of his index finger against his upper lip. Soon after he knocked on the door, it was answered by another pastel colored pony, though it was not Pinkie, it was instead answered by a purple pony with a horn sticking out of her forehead and had a dark violet fringe. She opened the door, and with her expecting ponies, she definitely didn't expect humans,
"Em....Can I help you, sirs?" She asked them.
"Yes, we're looking for Miss Pie" Nicolas replied, "Have you seen her?"
"Yes, just a second please" She told them as she backed away from the door to get Pinkie. then a few seconds later she appeared.
"Hello" She greeted.
"Hi, Pinkie. Can me and my friends come in?" Shaun asked.
"Sure" Pinkie said as she opened the door for our heroes.
"Thank you" The three lads all said as they entered.
They all saw other ponies in the library, they must be friends of Pinkie, the purple one was one of her friends, but the lads also saw a blue pony with wings and a rainbow mane, a yellow pony with wings as well, an orange one wearing a cowboy hat and a white one with an elegant purple mane,
"I'm sorry to ask, but what is your names?" Pinkie asked.
Nicolas was about to introduce the group, until Gary started first,
"I, Miss Pie, am Gary King...." He paused, "....of the Humans"
"Gary, what are you doing?" Nicolas whispered intensely.
"These are my trusted disciples, Nicolas Angel the COp" Gary continued, "And Shaun Riley the..."
Gary leaned over to Shaun and asked him,
"Shaun, what did you do for a living?" Gary whispered.
"I was an electronic salesman but I don't see wha-" Shaun began.
"Shaun Riley the Electroman. And we request a book on trans-dimensional traveling please" Gary told Pinkie and her friends.
Nicolas and Shaun looked at Gary with shocked expressions on their faces, Gary was indeed more drunk than the rest of the guys, so it's probably just the booze talking and not him,
"There's a book on that kind of thing" Twilight said, "SPIKE! Can you get me a book on trans-dimensional traveling please"
"Okay, okay.." Spike said as he stepped down from the upstairs.
At this point Shaun looked at Spike with horror, the color drained from his face and then he collapsed at the sight of the dragon, and he was stone cold, Nicolas looked at Shaun,
"Shaun, are you alright?" Nicolas asked when he noticed Shaun KO'd on the floor.
Gary then felt like fainting as well, but not because he saw a dragon, but because his body out of it, the alcohol was making him feel that way, so he backed away and twirled over as he fell on his face, his arms reached out as he was falling, and ended up smacking an off-guard Nicolas with his right hand, knocking him out as well.
All the ponies looked at the three men that laid on the floor, completely out of it,
"Em...what the heck just happened?" Rainbow Dash asked
