//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 - The Big City // Story: My Little Humans: New York is Magic // by Laurenfaustsloyalfan //------------------------------// It was an average day in Ponyville, the sun was up beautifully, the birds were singing and the ponies were out and about their business was usual, Lyra and Bon bon were on their bench, talking about the day. A certain pink pony was hopping up and down humming and singing next to a familiar orange pony while they were on the way to Twilight's library, up in the sky Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were flying calmly there as well, and Rarity was trotting gracefully as she is in the same trajectory, when they all got there, they all exchanged their hellos and greetings. "What do you think Twi needs that she called all of us here?" Said Rainbow Dash still hovering. "Ooh, maybe she needs help planning a party!" Pinkie exclaimed. "But then why would she call all of us, when it's just me? Maybe it's a big party for Princess Celestia or may-" She was caught off by having Applejack's hoof in her mouth, unable to speak, she just stayed quiet. They were all talking until the door opened and out came Twilight Sparkle, and she smiled at seeing them all here. "Girls, I'm glad you're all here." Said the lavender unicorn. "Of course darling, we're always here for anything you need." Said Rarity as she trotted inside the library, followed by the rest, and they all made a circle on the floor, as Spike gave them all snacks and drinks. After each of them catching up on their activities and lives, Rarity decided to get back on subject. "So, Twilight, what is it you needed us for?" She said finishing her drink. "Yes, I'm here because I need you all to help try out a new spell." Twilight smiled sheepishly as the ponies exchanged looks at each other, then smiled and all nodded in unison to Twilight. Her smile got bigger and she clapped her hooves together in joy! She pulled out the scroll from her saddlebags and gave it a quick read before proceeding with the spell, she then nodded to Spike, who quickly gathered all the plates and cups from the circle and went into the kitchen to watch. Twilight closed her eyes and took a deep breath and began to focus her magic, her horn lighting up as she concentrated. The room around the six ponies started to shift and warp. As her horn shone brighter, a second field of magic wrapped around it, and the room warped out even more, and a small white ball appeared in the center. Pinkie Pie was giggling at how the room looked. As the third field of magic wrapped itself around Twilight's horn, the white ball got larger and larger, and eventually enveloped everypony in the room, Spike was watching from the kitchen with awe, when suddenly, it just dissapeared along with everypony in it, Spike went out, and looked about, and then just shrugged- thinking it had worked- and decided to clean up a bit. -------------------------------------- Applejack woke up with a splitting headache and saw huge buildings and heard loud noises, as she sat up straight, she shook her head. "What in tarnation is going on 'round here? Girls, are yo-" Her eyes went wide in shock as she saw her best friends not as ponies, but as humans, she had only heard folks tales about the matter, but she never thought she'd see one, even less, that she'd be one, as she looked down at her body, and found she was one too. She screamed and shut her eyes, then she opened them again, and found she was still a human. "Well, it ain't no dream, that's fer sure. Girls you gotta get up now!" She tried to stand up on all fours, but her legs were longer, so she stood up on two, and walked to her friends and shook them. Rainbow Dash awoke first, then the others. "Oh man, what a headache..." Said Rainbow Dash as she shook her head, and looked at her new body, she screamed, as did the rest when they each saw their new bodies. They all stood up and after a few shocked faces, the 5 of them then looked at Twilight. "Twi, what the hay is going on here? Why are we like this, where's your horn, and Rarity's too?" Said Applejack "My wings! They're gone!" Yelled Rainbow Dash and she found out she couldn't fly, and neither could Fluttershy. A crowd had gathered at the new people there arguing there right in the middle of the streets, while they were all fighting Rarity looked around, and found they were surrounded by a crowd, then she noticed they all had clothes on, and their eyes were wide, then looked at her friends and herself, and saw that they were completely naked, and her eyes went wide and she screamed so loud, that the 5 girls stopped talking and looked at Rarity. "Girls, we are m-making a huge scene, I suggest w-we move now!" Rarity could barely speak, from how red her cheeks were with embarassment. They all looked at the crowd and then they all made the same realization as Rarity and they all quickly started moving away. Rarity was leading, looking back and then bumped into a man. He cursed under his breath and turned around to see 6 naked girls standing in front of him. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and they were all there, still staring at him. He looked from side to side, and then at his drink. "Okay, so I'm not drunk, and this isn't a dream. Uhh, you girls need any help?" Said the man, the girls all nodded to him, and he took them to his apartment. They all got some average clothes on and got moderately accustomed to their new bodies. Once they all had something to eat (just vegetables) and something to drink, the man sat with them. "My name's Owen, what are your names?" Said Owen nervously. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, these are my friends, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie." Said the purple haired woman. "O...kayyy then..." Owen stood up and nodded slowly as he walked into the kitchen. "It's alright Owen, you were declared sane, you're not going nuts, you're not drunk, and you're definitely not dreaming." He sighed and looked at himself in the mirror. "Twilight, how are we going to get out of here? We know nothing about this place, it's customs, the people, we don't have magic, and neither Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy have wings." Said Rarity distressed. "I don't know yet, but we'll figure out something girls, we just have to stick together. Wait, where's Pinkie Pie?" They all looked to find a certain pink haired woman gone. Their eyes went wide, they had lost Pinkie in the city. Owen went back with a very distinguished cupcake in his mouth, eating it happily. "Yeah, she said something about parties, and meeting new people." They all had a very mean glare at him. He swallowed his mouthful, "What?" ----------------------------------- Meanwhile, Pinkie was staring in awe and joy at the Big City, she was simply beaming with happiness, she imagined all the parties, all the new people to meet, the new friends to make, the new sweets to try, she was gonna explode with joy when a man poked her and she snapped back to reality, she realized she was in the middle of a street and there were a lot of cars, waiting to pass. She didn't know what cars were, and she was full of surprise when she saw one, she walked up to the man's car, and hugged it, then she giggled and went skipping away, the man said to himself. "Weed, it's killing this generation." He sighed and got back in his car and moved on with his life. ------------------------------------- "Are you crazy?! You can't just leave Pinkie alone like that!" Rainbow Dash said yelling. "She told me she was gonna be fine, plus she gave me this delicious cupcake." Said Owen innocently, as if nothing wrong was happening. "Well, we won't get any closer to finding her if we stay here, bickering amongst ourselves, I propose we go find her, it can't be that difficult, can it?" Said Rarity, after turning away from a closet full of clothes she found most distasteful. "Well, New York City is a pretty big place, she could be anywhere, with anyone, it could take you forever to find her." Said Owen casually. "That ain't helpin', pardner." Applejack glared at him. The five girls got up and decided to set out for her, but Owen stood in front of them, blocking their path. "Listen, if you want to find your friend, you'll need a guy who knows his way around New York." Said Owen, now serious. "Oh? Would you happen to know where we can find such a person?" Asked Rarity cutely. "I am such a person, I'll help you find her, because I don't like seeing friends getting lost here in New York, also because, she makes some damn good cupcakes." He chuckled as he got his jacket and key, and set out with them to find Pinkie Pie. -------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie was saying hello gleefully to everyone that walked past her, some responded, but most ignored her completely, she was skipping while humming a tune and saying hello to everyone, she stopped when she saw a building with a big lollipop as it's sign, the title "Big John's Big Sweets." Pinkie's eyes grew wider and her smile only grew wider, she ran into the shop, and when she entered, it was the most beautiful sight she could have ever seen. There was candy everywhere! On the walls, in baskets, candy hanging on the ceiling, she was smiling wildly, and she just went into the nearest basket and pulled one out, and was about to eat it right there when a man behind a table, reading a newspaper caught her attention. "It's one dollar. "He said flatly, obviously uninterested. Pinkie looked at him oddly. "What's a dollar?" That was enough to get the man's attention, he lowered his newspaper and stared at the pink haired girl with a confused look. "Dollar, money, currency, you need money to pay for that candy you got." He said, still eyeing her, but losing interest again. "Well, I don't have any money! Can't I get it for free this once?" She looked at him with what may be the most adorable eyes he ever saw, he cursed under his breath and nodded and went back to his newspaper. Pinkie shrieked in excitement as she unwrapped the shiny little sweet, and stuck it in her mouth, she then fainted. ----------------------------------------------- The girls were walking well behind Owen, who was walking around casually and looking around, he'd stop by in buildings and talk for a bit, then keep on moving, they were all silent until Owen decided to say something. "So what's your friend Pinkie like? It might help me in looking for her." Said Owen as he stopped, as did the rest of the girls. They all looked at each other, then whispered for a bit, then Twilight stepped up. "Well, she's a po-- I mean.. girl that likes to throw a bunch of parties, and she loves eating candy, and she's very random." Twilight chuckled nervously on those last words. Owen looked at her for a moment, then shrugged and continued walking, followed by the girls. "That means we should stop by clubs, candy shops, places of that kind of stuff, maybe one of the owners have seen her." Said Owen as he continued walking down the sidewalk until he stopped by a candy shop, and opened the door. - Pinkie was woken up by the owner, who was shaking her, she giggled and sat up. "What happened?" She said giggling, as if nothing had happened. The store owner looked at her, shocked and confused. "How should I know, one minute you're as happy as can be, next thing I know, you're on the frickin' floor!" He sighed, and took a deep breath, then continued. "Listen, I want you out of here, you're weird enough as it is, so out." "Can I at least take some candy with me? Pleaaaaase?" She used those adorable eyes again. "Alright, alright, here." He took two handfuls of candy and handed them to Pinkie. "Just get out of my store, now." He went back to his table, and lifted up his newspaper, and went back to reading. Pinkie nodded and skipped out, arms full of candy, she didn't know which way to go, so she just went left. She had already eaten half of the candy given to her when she stopped in front of a big building, with letters over the door, lit up saying "Men's Sweet Tooth." She smiled and walked towards it and the guards stopped her. "Name." Was the only thing the man said, Pinkie looked at him with narrowed eyes and scratched her chin, then she looked to the side and gasped. The guard looked to where she was looking, saw nothing, and when he looked back, the space where the pink haired girl was empty. He looked around, and behind him, and the door was locked, so he assumed she ran away and continued in his position. Inside the party, Pinkie was amazed, the music, the people dancing, her eyes lit up and she joined the dancing too. ------------------------------------------ Owen stopped after asking around for a few hours, the sun was going down, he sighed. "We'll never find her at this rate, the sun's going down, and that's when this city, really starts to liven up." "He's right girls, we should split up." Owen's eyes widened to that and he stopped them all from moving. "If you split up, you'll get lost yourselves, we should stay together, or before we know it, we'll all be on our own." Owen looked at Twilight with fierce eyes. She thought about it for a moment and realized he was right. He shaked his head and continued walking and asking around for a pink haired girl. ------------------------------------------------ Pinkie was thrown out by a man. She shook her head and pouted at the man. "What did I do wrong? I was just having fun!" She glared at the door that was now closed, and she got up and stuck her tongue out, and then continued on her path, she took out another piece of candy and started chewing on it, and she was smiling and skipping again. The sun was completely down when Owen stopped, and sighed with his eyes closed, he turned to face the girls. "I think we should head back to my apartment, we won't find her tonight. She could be anywhere in the city, and it's getting really late, we'll rest up and first thing in the morning, we'll go out and search for her." "Horseapples, we ain't leavin' behind our best friend, we'll search everywhere, you can leave if ya'll want but Ah ain't sleepin' till that girl is safe." Applejack said with a serious face, she meant it. Owen sighed and walked into one more candy shop, Big John's Big Sweets. John looked at him and the five other girls, and simply went back to his newspaper. Owen approached him and lowered the newspaper slowly. "We're looking for a pink haired girl, about this tall, really loud, loves candy." The owner sighed and put down his newspaper. "Yeah I've seen her, she is really weird." Owen breathed a sigh of relief at this. "Can you point us in the right direction? I'll purchase something." He smiled and pulled out some money. "She took left right after she left, but that was hours ago. Look, I've had enough weirdness, just leave before any of those 5 do something equally weird." The owner grumbled and went back to his newspaper. Owen nodded, took a piece of candy, and left a dollar on the table. "Well, has he seen her?" Asked Rarity with hope in her voice. "Yeah, he said she took left, but it was hours ago, who knows where she could be now." He stepped outside with the girls. "Then I guess we keep lookin', 'cause we ain't gonna give up till we find her." Applejack said proudly. "Yeah, we'll see... left it is." Owen could tell it was gonna be a long night. -------------------------------------- Pinkie was simply hyper, more than her usual hyper self, she didn't know why, but she just had so much energy, she was skipping and giggling, then she saw a much larger car, had stopped, was it signaling her to get on? She skipped onto it, and sat with the rest of the people. She didn't know where she was going, but she was too happy and hyper to care, as soon as the bus started moving Pinkie got up from her seat and started singing and dancing, everybody on the bus looked at her oddly, and backed away, some laughed, others took pictures with their phones. The bus stopped and Pinkie was singing as she got off, and before she could finish her final verse, the bus doors closed and it moved on. Pinkie looked around, she didn't know where she was, but she was having the time of her life. She bumped into a man in a big coat, he looked at her and grinned. "Hey lady, you wanna have a nice drink?" He said in a raspy, voice. Pinkie nodded and held his hand as they walked into an alley, and he pulled out a long bottle of a drink, he poured it in two old cups he had, and gave Pinkie one, she thanked him and took a sip, it tasted really good to her, and she chugged the whole thing. Before she knew it, one drink turned into five, and five drinks turned into the finishing the whole bottle, she was drunk. She told the man she would like to have another, but her words were slurred, and she was tipsy, the man said he ran out, and so she just shrugged and walked away, everything was spinning and wobbling for Pinkie, she was giggling and trying to keep her balance, but she just didn't have any for the life of her. ---------------------------------------- Owen had checked dozens of candy shops, and so he decided to check out clubs, he went in to various clubs and parties, asking for the same pink haired girl, but none of them had seen her. Meanwhile Rarity spotted a pair of beautiful shoes, and she made her way there without anyone noticing, while she was looking at the shoes, a man approached her and offered her a joint, she told him to go away, but he offered to get her those shoes if she did, she eyed the shoes with so much desire, that she agreed, the man lit up the joint, and she put it to her mouth and inhaled, she was fine, but then everything started getting brighter and more colorful. She started smiling and giggling, she had forgotten completely about the shoes and simply focused on the joint, and finished it, she was so happy, everything was bliss for her, she approached her friends and she just hugged Applejack for a moment in silence, Applejack just stared at her and finally decided to ask. "Rarity, what in the hay are you doin' girl?" Applejack asked a bit annoyed, and confused. Rarity simply burst out laughing. "Oh Applejack, you are just soooo funny when you talk like that, how do you do it?" Her words were a bit off, and she was swaying from side to side. She was snorting and giggling, and Applejack just gave her a weird look. "Uh, Rarity, are you feelin' all right in the head?" Applejack asked, this time not annoyed, but a bit worried. Rarity, looked at her for a few seconds, then laughed again. "Oh my gosh, Applejack, stop it, you're gonna make me pee!" She was laughing so hard, that it caught the rest of the girls' attention. They all looked at her, and she just snickered and then laughed again. Owen came out of the club and he saw Rarity, acting the way she was, and his eyes widened. "Oh god no..." He whispered to himself in fear. He was praying in his mind that Rarity wasn't what he thought she was. He walked up to her, and he poked her nose, and she tried not to laugh, he sighed, his suspicions were true. He turned to the girls, who trying to get her under the control, but she was too out of control to stop, she was dancing like Pinkie, but slower, and singing very off-key. Owen facepalmed, and grabbed Rarity by her arm, she tried to squirm, but he a grip too tight. "We are going back to the apartment, now. If we try to look for Pinkie now, with Rarity like this, things will not only get more difficult for everyone here, but Rarity could wander off, and we'd be left to search for two insane chicks." Owen looked at Applejack, who was looking a bit frustrated at what he said, but sighed and nodded, so did the others. Owen handed Rarity to Applejack, who put Rarity over her shoulders, and walked behind the rest of the girls while Rarity was laughing and and singing. -------------------------------------------------- Pinkie was falling over and over again, her face was red from too much alcohol and she barely had any balance, but then she heard a catchy beat, and some funny rythm, and she followed it, to an apartment, she smiled and walked in, she got up to the floor where the music was loudest and decided to join the party, and when she opened the door, everybody stopped and looked at her, the music stopped, everybody stopped dancing and was looking at a dirty pink haired girl, who's hair was a mess, and looked drunk. Pinkie stared back at them, they were silent for a moment, until Pinkie smiled and yelled: "LET'S PARTY!" She picked up a bottle, opened it, and started drinking, everybody in the room, cheered and the party continued, with Pinkie at the center, she was dancing, everybody was cheering her on, she was chugging bottle after bottle, she fell on top of a random girl who was giggling, and she giggled as well and they started kissing, which only caused more cheers. Owen and the girls arrived at his apartment, and from all the noise and constant cheers, Owen had to guess there was a party going on, he didn't need anymore of this noise and madness. Applejack set Rarity down on the couch, she was sound asleep, it was almost cute, Applejack stretched and sat next to the girls and Owen as they all watched as Rarity slept. "We're gonna keep lookin' for Pinkie, right Owen?" Applejack asked, with a sad and tired voice. Owen nodded, and looked at Applejack. "I won't give up till we've found her either Applejack, but we can't risk leaving Rarity, if she wakes up, she could just walk right on out, and we'd be in bigger problems." Owen said, eyes heavy and tired as well, they all were, they had been walking for hours, with no sign of Pinkie, they thought she was all alone, probably sad and scared, hungry and tired, they were afraid for her, but they couldn't do anything, they all slept without even knowing, except Owen, he stood up, and saw the five girls sleeping soundly and together, he smiled and put Fluttershy, who had amazingly been so quiet all this time, next to Applejack on his bed, Twilight was in her seat, sleeping, but Owen passed and she woke up. She yawned and stood up and found Owen alone in his kitchen, drinking from a cup. She walked to him and hugged him, she said lowly. "Thank you, Owen, I don't know where we'd be without you right now." Said Twilight in a low voice. Owen looked at his cup, and thought about it, then he finished and chuckled and said. "I think you'd still be where I found you, naked and trying to find a place to hide." He offered a cup to Twilight and she took it, she giggled and took a sip, it was sweet, and she drank it all up. He poured her more, and they stayed talking for a while, until Fluttershy walked into the kitchen unannounced, and bumped into Twilight. "Oh, um, excuse me.." She was too sleepy to know, but she quickly undid her pants, she had a bit of trouble with it, but got them down, she lifted up her leg, as if she was still a pony, and started urinating on Owen. ---------------------------------------------- Pinkie woke up with such a headache that she couldn't even giggle or smile without being in pain, she looked at the room she was in, she didn't remember a thing. She looked to her side and there was a girl, sleeping soundly, Pinkie lifted up the blanket and found she wasn't wearing her pants anymore, and that she had pissed herself on the bed, she groaned and got up from the bed, and she found her pants under a table, she went to get them but she hit her head when rising up from the table, that didn't help her headache. She put them on and got out of the room and left the building again, the sun was bright and it hit her bloodshot eyes, she started walking in a random direction. Owen woke up with wide eyes, and sat right up as he realized about the party, that Pinkie Pie could have been at it, he woke up Applejack and brought her with him, he knocked on the door, but there was no answer, he knocked again and finally a guy in nothing but his boxers opened. "Oh hey Owen, what's up? Who's your sexy friend there?" He winked at Applejack, and she suddenly got the need to leave as quickly as possible, but she stayed with Owen, instead she just glared at the guy, and he immediately focused his attention on Owen. "Trevor, buddy, did a pink haired babe happen to walk in here, about this tall, really loud?" Trevor started laughing, he then put on some pants and and a shirt, and got out of the room. "Dude, you know that chick? She was off the hook, bro! She was chugging bottle after bottle, dancing like a boss, she was telling some awesome jokes, and then she fell and started making out with another chick, and then they got on my bed, and start doing it, dude!" He was telling the story like a dream of his came true. "She slept in my bed, but when I woke up, she wasn't here, and neither were here pants." He shrugged, and pat Owen on the shoulder, before he went back into his room. "Well, at least we know she was here, maybe we should ask the girl she slept with, she might know something." Owen pulled out Trevor's key from his sleeve and opened the door, and walked in, Trevor was asleep again, next to some girl, Owen and Applejack walked past them and woke up the girl in bed, she groaned and opened her eyes lazily, she then sat up and looked at Owen and Applejack. "Owen, what do you want? And who is she, your new girl?" Owen sighed, Applejack blushed a bit, and ignored the comment. "We're looking for the girl you slept with, you know where she is?" Said Owen seriously. "She told me she was gonna head to the tall building she saw with lots of toys." Owen sighed.
