//------------------------------// // Two weeks amount to a year // Story: Through the roof // by The Psychopath //------------------------------// I was having a great time with the inhabitants of this world. My favorite times were when Pinkie would show up and when I would annoy the hell out of Celestia. That was a treat in itself. Just seeing the "beautiful-all-loved" princess get red as a tomato and chase after me throughout the castle filled me with joy and laughter. Although, she started to go a bit overboard, literally throwing axes and swords made of magic at me. Luna was quite the kind one, actually. She was very caring, just like I felt. She must have gone through quite alot to care so much about others now. And every time I would get into a fight with Celestia, her eyes would literally melt away the anger or evil that I felt forming up inside of me. Rainbow Dash had this addiction to try and beat me down, but I ALWAYS ROSE TRIUMPHANT! Twilight Sparkle wanted to know more about my race. I preferred talking about the better aspects, such as the culture of ancient civilizations and all that. Applejack and I had our fun bah speakin' thar countreh ackcent tagether.*spits in pot* Eeyup. Rarity, on the otherhand, had more needs to see Fancypants while he stayed here at the castle a while longer. However, I really needed to get back home, and I didn't know what kind of time-lapse there were between our worlds. Celestia was the first to find the spell and summoned the six mares that I knew all too well now. This entire thing was going to happen in the throne room, a place I hadn't seen for awhile. It was renovated now and it had two thrones. One was based around the sun while the other was, of course, based around the moon. I couldn't help but feel sick as I thought the sun throne looked better. However, Celestia opened up what looked like a window to my room. "Ooo! Can I come with you? I want to see what your world looks like." asked Pinkie Pie. "No. You can't come." I said with my eyebrows lined in frustration. "Why not?" "Because it's like that." "Please stop,Pinkie. The way Mark described it, hiw world isn't made for ponies like us." "No it isn't. And I shudder to think what would happen if the "higher-ups" caught just one of you. Celestia." "Yes?" "Promise me that none of you will ever get over there in my world. There are things against which even YOUR magics combined are powerless against." The sun princess seemed to shudder at the thought of whatever that abomination in my world could be, but agreed with a confident nod. "Good. Well, I guess this is goodbye then. Goodbye everyone." "OH WAIT!" yelled Pinkie Pie. "What is it AGAIN Pinkie?" moaned Rainbow Dash. "It's a camera. So we can all take a picture for Mark to remember us by." "Oh. Well that's very nice of you Pinkie. I actually didn't think there were cameras here..." "Everypony group up!" yelled Pinkie. I decided to get in between both princess and wrap my arms around their necks. Luna didn't seem to care, but Celestia looked irritated at best. As Pinkie Pie set the camera up for a timed picture, Philomena landed on my head and Pinkie jumped on my back and gave a huge smile as she poked over my shoulder. A flash and it was finished. I promised her that we would finish our bear-hug war, and I even promised Celestia that I would certainly return more aggravating than ever. One final goodbye as I grabbed the picture Pinkie gave me, and I was back in my room. I looked back one last time see them waving through the portal just as it closed entirely. "Well. That was a fun adventure...wait a minute...crap...I forgot to bring back my clothes...oh well, I have these ones that Rarity made for me. It should suffice. Let's chack the time...it's only been an hour?! Huh. Lucky me. I think I had enough vacation for one week. I'll cancel my trip and go back to work first thing next week. Right now, I need to sleep. I'll place this picture here on the night table and get a frame for it later. *sigh*. Well, back to the boring world." It had already been a year since Mark's trip to Equestria, and he had gotten over his dilemma. As he observed the newly finished tower that took so long to build, he returned home, only to return to his room almost immediately. It was late, and he didn't want to bother with a bath just yet. "*yawn* Well, let's see what's on channel dumbass." I flipped that damn T.V. back on to see if there had been any changes to the news anchor and his asshole friend. None whatsoever. "In any case, the once unique phenomenon has returned to us this year, giving a wide variety of scientists a chance to finish their research." "Oh dear GOD! Mr Fantastic, does this mean the Hulk is coming?!" "Nope. They're still there." "I'm going to SMASH YOU!" "OH NO! HE'S HULKING OUT!" Besides the sounds of destruction and the two idiots fighting again, I couldn't help but feel bored...wait a minute. "Did he say 'the same phenomenon from last year'?" I heard a *vrrrt* sound as I looked with the corner of my eye to see a strange black shadow engulfing everything." "Ah shit. Atleast I have proper clothes on this time."
