It has been quite some time since we started are little search for civilization and so far all we found was a trail to who-knows-where and started walking on it. I still have that strange craving for oranges and Nyssa/Len also started to have cravings for bananas.
"Ugh... I'm so tired! Can we stop for a sec?" Nyssa/Len asked.
"Alright, but only for a little while, we still need to get out of this forest."
"Finally!" Nyssa/Len shouted in relief. He quickly ran to the nearest tree and planted himself there. "Ahh~..."
"Your so lazy." I commented.
"Look who's talking." Nyssa/Len replied, eyes now closed.
"Point taken; now move aside, I wanna rest too." I walked up to him.
I sat right next to my sibling and looked upwards. I saw that the trees were covering most of the sunlight, but I could tell that it was getting towards nightfall, due to the now yellow sky before us.
"We better get a move on, we don't wanna stay after dark." I got up from my seating place.
"Okay." Nyssa/Len agreed with a little disappointment in his voice.
We continued on the trail, not speaking throughout the walk. As we followed the trail, hunger started to overthrow our thoughts, making us crave for the selected fruits more than before. But we still pressed on.
~
We finally came across a source of food: a river. Sadly, both of us hate fish, so we just quenched our thirst. We looked around our environment to find any trees or bushes that consist of any fruits we may feast on. We found a bush growing blueberries, thankfully. We gathered enough berries to pause our hunger and some more for later. (But we had to carry them in our hands, so we only got a handful that could last for one day)
We crossed the river afterwards without any interruptions, and as we got out, I could of sworn I saw something purple in the river, but just ignored it.
As we continued our voyage, we found a old bridge. Below was a large crevice. We saw a flight of stairs as well, but decided to go across the bridge since we saw some sort of building ahead. Thankfully, the bridge supported both our weights.
While we were crossing the bridge, we saw that the building was a abandoned castle instead. As we got closer to the structure in question, I saw something out of place leaning on the front doors. I saw that it was a backpack. I quickly walked over to take a closer look. As I picked it up, I saw that the backpack was black and yellow, having a triangle-like pattern on some spots. Nyssa/Len came over to see it as well.
"Let's open it." Nyssa/Len said.
I just gave a firm nod and unzipped the bag. What we found inside the backpack was fruits, bags of chips, and canned food, water bottles, two sleeping bags, one pot, one pan, some utensils, some electronic devices being our iPhones, a yellow laptop, two PSP's one being pink, the other being yellow, and a digital camera, and two books, one being a survival guide and a instruction manual. We eyed the instruction manual, seeing an image of another Vocaloid character being Miku Hatsune.
"What's this for?" I asked out loud. I saw that there was a letter at the bottom of the backpack and opened the envelope.
It said:
Dear Nyssa and Leandra. Or should I say Rin and Len,
How are you adjusting to your new bodies, fun right? If your wondering where you are, your in Equestria. A land filled with talking ponies and other four legged creatures. If your reading this, it means that you survive the Everfree Forest... for now, and stumbled across the Castle of the Two Sisters. It's abandoned now, so no need to worry about breaking in someone's home, uninvited.Anywho! If you are a bit confused about your new home planet, sooner or later you might meet my six dearest friends and socialize a bit. And if your also wondering how you got here, there's no need to thank me. That Email you got transported you here and many more humans just like you. Soon you may meet them as well, but they can be anywhere in Equestria. (But mostly is the Everfree) And who knows, you may know them before you got transported here. If you meet them, befriend them. Its all part of my 'little' test.
Also, make sure you read both books inside the backpack, they will help you greatly. I hope you two will succeed in this test and enjoy your time here. Ta-ta!
~Discored
I showed the letter to Nyssa/Len. After a few seconds passed, I saw Nyssa/Len crumpled up the letter in his hand. I also saw him rip the letter to pieces in anger.
"That fucker!" Nyssa/Len started. "That damn thing brought us here! I told you that clicking that link was a bad idea! When I find that fucker he is so gonna pay."
I just stood silent, watching my brother rage shift and started breaking things in anger. I made sure that he didn't get a hold of the backpack so he wont destroy anything inside. It took at least fifteen minutes until Nyssa/Len calmed down.
"You alright?" I asked as I walked towards him, wearing the backpack.
"Yeah... I'm fine. Sorry you had to see that." Nyssa/Len apologized.
"No need to. I would also destroy everything in my path to know that my whole life is gone back on earth."
"It is."
"Oh. Well I guess I'm more relaxed then you."
"True, true. So what now?" Nyssa/Len asked.
"Well, since this is the only shelter around, we'll stay the night here then follow the trail back if that leads us to a town or city." I explained.
"Good plan. But one thing."
"What is it?"
"Remember when the letter said that this world inhabitances is ponies and other four-legged creatures?"
"Yeah, before you had a hissy fit." I joked.
"Well... Do you think that this world knows of humans?"
"I don't think so, cause there would be less forest and the letter said nothing about the human race as well."
"So do you think the town or city will flip out seeing us."
"Touché... New plan! We find a city or town, and check to find those six friends the letter said."
"Alright then!" Nyssa/Len agreed. "Now, before anything else, let's set up camp inside." Nyssa/Len then opened the door to the abandoned castle, showing the interior.
Inside we saw three doors on the left and right of us. Ahead of us, were flights of stairs. There was a large window (large by height, not width) We also saw two drapes hanging from the roof, one showing a white winged unicorn with the sun over the pony, and the other one showed of the same creature but a midnight blue and the moon and stars were above the blue pony instead. We saw that some parts of the cement ground started growing grass and random flowers. some of the roof itself were gone and bits of the walls had cracks. We could see the now orange sky perfectly when were under the open roof.
"This is something." Nyssa/Len commented.
"Indeed." I agreed.
"Enough sight seeing! Let's set up." Nyssa/Len started.
~Somewhere else in the Everfree~
"Ugh! Why are we here again?" Rainbow asked in a annoyed tone.
"Were here to find the source of the large boom that happened five hours, thirty-six minutes, and fifteen seconds ago. The source could be alien and I won't let this slip by." Twilight explained.
"But dearie, we've been searching all day and so far we got no trail or actual proof that whatever this thing is alien or not. For all we know it could've been a unicorn practicing a spell and made that loud noise."
"Yeah! And all I got from coming in this forest was these odd tracks in the dirt." Pinkie pointed at a odd looking hoof-print.
"Pinkie! Why didn't you tell us that you found something?" Twilight asked angrily.
"Cause you girls didn't ask, silly!" Pinkie replied.
Everypony else stood silent.
"Anyways," Twilight stopped the silence. "Fluttershy, can you identify these tracks?"
"Umm. I don't think so. I never seen any animal with paws or hooves like that before." Fluttershy explained. "And it also doesn't seem that it was either paw or hoof-print. Like the thing was wearing something on itself." Fluttershy starred at the tracks some more. "It seems like they walk on there hind legs, making them a bipedal type of creature."
"What do ya mean by 'they', sugarcube?" Applejack asked.
"It seems that there are two unknown creatures roaming through the Everfree." Twilight said out loud.
"I just hope there safe." Fluttershy commented.
"Safe? SAFE?! Fluttershy, there are two alien things in this forest and your worries about them!?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, I may not know what they look like or if there dangerous, but does it really hurt to care for the unknown?" Fluttershy asked calmly.
"Well-that-I... No." Rainbow answered.
"Fluttershy's right Dashie! Maybe the things might be fun! Maybe they like parties! I hope they do! I can throw them a 'Welcome to Ponyville' and 'Wecome to Equestria' party!" Pinkie added.
"Alright then girls! First let me mark where we found the tracks." Twilight quickly marked a 'X' on the map of the Everfree. "Now, since it's getting late, I think we should head home and rest for tomorrow. That's then we'll gather back at Fluttershy's house and when we come back here," Twilight showed the marked 'X' on the map to her friends. "We'll follow the tracks and maybe meet these creatures. Okay, girls."
The other five gave a nod of approval.
"Okay, let's head home."
That was then the six mares headed out the Everfree, back to Ponyville.
~At the Abandoned Castle~
"And~ done! Finished!" I shouted to my brother, letting him know I finished making the fire.
"I'm done as well over here." Nyssa/Len notified me of finishing making the beds.
We were finally done with making our little campsite. I did the fire and I'm going to make the dinner, while Nyssa/Len set up the sleeping bags and cleaning up the area full of rubble and unused sticks.
I opened one of the canned fruits and placed half of it in one bowl and the other half in another. While I was setting up our little dinner, I realized something, Nyssa/Len doesn't know about the keytar that's strapped on him.
"Hey Nyssa?" I asked.
"Yeah?" Nyssa glanced at me, looking away from the survivor guide.
"Did you noticed the keytar on you?" I finally asked.
"What keytar?"
"The one strapped on your back." I pointed at it.
Nyssa/Len then noticed the strap on his chest and the instrument on his back. He then moved the strap so the keytar was in front of him.
"Wow. All this time I didn't notice this thing throughout this whole day." I inspected the instrument, seeing the black and white piano keys and the blue lettering of 'Vocaloid2' on it. "Oh! By the way, Leandra? Did you notice the microphone strapped to your side?" Nyssa/Len asked.
"Uhh... No." I then looked to my left side of my pants, seeing the microphone in question strapped to me. I undid the Velcro strap and lifted up the mic to get a closer look. I saw that it looked like a ordinary microphone except that it has the yellow triangle pattern at the end and front. It had odd buttons on the side, but I decide to not mess with them yet.
"Hey! Check this out!" Nyssa/Len shouted out to me.
I then saw Nyssa/Len do a few notes from the keytar, and he did it so perfectly. Nyssa/Len then stop messing with it.
"Hey, Rin?" Nys- I mean Lin asked.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I just remembered a catchy song! Wanna hear?" Len asked.
"Go for it." I urged him.
"Alrighty then! Let's get this started!"
I then started to hear a familiar starting tune out of nowhere. After six seconds afterwards, Len started playing a very familiar tune. One that I would always have stuck in my head. I didn't know how Len knew how to play the Nyan Cat song on the keytar (since I never seen Len touch one before) but it almost felt. Natural. Like he was born to play the keytar. I also didn't know how long he played that song, but after at least fifteen minutes, I started drifting off. Feeling my eyelids get heavier as seconds pasts. Like I had no willpower to stay awake.
I wasn't sure what happened, but before I fell into a deep slumber, I heard the keytar just stop suddenly, and a sound of someone landing on the floor.
And that was our first day in Equestria.
~At Canterlot Castle~
Luna was at the dream realm, jumping through different dreams from little fillies, to full grown stallions. Luna was just about to leave the dream realm until she saw two yellow orbs that were very out of place.
'Hmm... I wonder.' Luna thought.
She started gliding towards one of the orbs and took a sneak peak. She saw a strange creature in the middle of a black endless void. The creature seemed female due to the long mane. The creature was just sitting in the dream, like she was waiting to wake up.
Luna then removed her face from the orb, going back into the dream realm. She then floated to the other orb, getting the same results but this time, the creature was male due to the different shape of the waist and chest area.
'Well... It wouldn't hurt to converse with the extraterrestrial.' She thought.
She then got herself set up to meet one of the two newcomers of her dream realm.
