Remy Stone lived in an apartment complex with his two brothers. Remy was into cartoons for most of his eighteen years of living. Despite his young adult age, Remy was a child at heart. “What are you watching” Milo was walking downstairs as he saw his youngest brother pulling up a table. The young ginger haired boy poured a bowl of cereal and smiled seeing the familiar show of talking horses was coming on. “Oh no, we are not watching that show” Milo cried out as he shook his head hearing the tune of the show to be that girly show made by that toy company. “Come on, I let you watch your gruesome movies, why can’t you let me watch this show?” Remy complained “Because the show is for little girls, not young men who waste their lives watching ridiculous shows like this?” Milo argued. Milo has heard all about the fandom that this show about talking ponies having adventures had. He felt he was losing his little brother to the show that somehow was gaining an audience for some strange reason. “Come on, bro” Benjamin looked at his older brother, yet he smiled seeing the enjoyment of his younger brother. “Don’t tell me you’re sucked into this show too” Milo exclaimed. “Remy, step back from the TV, You’ll hurt your eyes that way” “Okay” Remy said as he moved away from where he was. Milo shook his head as he went into the kitchen to get himself something to eat. The eldest brother of the Stone siblings has heard about this show’s rise in popularity and he was trying to understand how such a girly show was getting fans as if they were the next big thing. “Don’t you see how happy this show makes him? You know it helps him with his Autism” Benjamin nods. Benjamin was the middle child between Milo and Remy. He admitted the show was girly and couldn’t stand the sight of seeing the commercials, but as long as the show made Remy happy. Ben grabbed a cereal box and poured it into two bowls for Milo and himself. “Yea, I know. I don’t even understand how such a show could have such a great hype” Milo said pouring milk into both bowls and sat down with his younger brother. “Remy, what did I just say about standing so close to the TV?” “Milo, you need to learn how to let Remy have a little fun in his life. As long as he is happy, I have no problems” Ben smiled as he took a bite of his cereal. “You need to understand that not everyone could live their life in a fantasy land” Milo gulped down his cereal. “Well, I am sorry that my ex-girlfriend liked the show so much that she got him hooked on it” Benjamin smirked as his comment was directed towards Milo. “I told you never to mention her again” Milo glared as he looked at Benjamin. Milo could feel Ben was egging him on. “Ummm guys” Remy softly spoke. The two brothers didn’t hear him like usual. “Well, I am sorry that I spend most of my nights sobbing like a little girl whining ‘oh I miss my Ashley. Why did Ashley break up with me?’ Gees, a spoiled brat whines less than you do” Benjamin glared at his brother. “Ummm guys” Remy asked again, hoping that his brothers would hear him. “THAT IT” Milo glared as he jumped from his seat to Benjamin’s chair as the two siblings started to wrestle on the floor. Remy ran over as he sighed in annoyance. It was the usual sight that his two brothers were fighting over who was better than the other. Remy had enough of it. “YOU GUYS” Remy roared at them. His roar caused the two brothers to stop fighting for the moment and focused their anger on him. “What” They both shouted at Remy. “A portal” The young autistic man pointed at a portal that was coming out of the TV. “Remy, what did you do this time?” Milo jumped from where he was and made his way to a TV remote. He hoped that it was just a glitch in the system. “You and your dumb show” “It’s not dumb” Remy glared as he looked at his eldest brother. “Just fix the TV, Milo” Ben sat down trying to nurse the bruised arm Milo gave him. “I’m trying to, but it won’t get fixed” Milo groaned as he tried to press as many buttons as he could. “Why are you two always saying that I wreck everything” Remy was about to cry. Milo ignored his brother as he really didn’t want to deal with him right now. “Is it because of me personally, or is it that I have Autism and you feel like I am a danger to myself” Remy said “I said be quiet idiot” Milo roared at Remy. This caused the young man to sit down on the couch while the brother tried to fix the TV. “Here, I can unplug the TV” Remy said to his brothers. Ben tried to stop him, but Remy was too fast for him. He hoped that by unplugging the cord, maybe he would be in Milo’s good grace again. “Remy don’t….look out” Milo and Benjamin screamed. When Remy tried to do what he wanted to do, the portal had other plans. It took the youngest of them and was sucking him in slowly. “AHHHHH” He cried out “Milo, Ben, help me” Ben and Milo both grabbed onto his arms hoping their combine strength would be enough to pull their little brother with them. Milo looked at Remy seeing the same fear in his eyes. Milo had that same fear in his eyes when their parents died in that car crash. No Milo thought to himself I am not losing you too Milo tried to pull Remy with all his strength, but the portal kept pulling him in. “Hey, Tech Wiz, pull with those muscle you said you had” “Curse my lack of upper body strength” Ben muttered to himself as he used the couch trying to pull their little brother with them. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” Remy shouted as his arms slipped through his brother’s sweaty palms. Ben and Milo looked in horror seeing their little brother hurling inside the portal of an unknown destination. Ben tried to go forward, but Milo stopped him. “I am not losing you too” Milo said shouting at his brother. “That is a portal dumb-dumb. It probably leads to someplace. We need to follow it and possibly find Remy” Benjamin screamed as he collected a bag tossing unknown ideas into it. “If you want to stay here and cry some more that’s fine with me. Our brother is in that portal, so unless you have another idea. I say I am going into that portal and saving our brother. He is not going in there alone” Benjamin smiled. His first reason of journeying into the portal was saving his younger brother. Ben couldn’t deny that whatever that portal was leading to, it must be somewhere magical where they could have an adventure. Milo nods fiercely and jumped into the portal of certain doom with his brother Ben. The two collected their hands and felt the strange vortex of the portal. XxxX As the two brothers journeyed into the portal, they both looked upon the swirls of the portal. They both thought it was a fascinating place. It was sky blue and had the appearance of a tornado. “I see Remy” Ben saw the swirling of the portal plus a dark image to be of a screaming eighteen year old man. “I got him” Milo screamed as he shot himself like a speeding arrow in order to do his duty as an older brother. “Hey, he’s my brother too” Ben told his older brother imitating his speeding arrow posture. The two made their way to Remy, who quickly notices the brothers. “Are you two crazy? What are you doing here? There’s no way of getting back to our apartment.” “You didn’t think we had a way back up” Milo smirked as he held a black string which was his bungle cord. “Now, hang on to me” Ben and Remy did what Milo instructed and felt the powerful cord stopped them from going forward into the other portal. Milo looked at his younger brothers seeing that they were alright. “Okay, now just pull yourself up the cord” Milo said Remy attempted to go first when he noticed something strange about the portal they all went through. “Umm slight problem with that” “What now?” Milo complained “I see the cord has been cut” Remy hesitantly said with a smile. Milo and Ben looked up seeing their brother was right as the cut cord was coming to them. They quickly noticed that the bungle cord must have been cut by the portal. “Oh that’s just perFFFFEEEECCCCTTTTTTTTT” Milo screamed as the three brothers were speeding up seeing another portal opening up. “This couldn’t get any worse” Benjamin screamed Suddenly, the two brothers noticed that Remy’s hands weren’t hands anymore. They looked like hooves that horses have. “AHHHHH, I have hooves” Remy screamed at first. “AHHHH, so do you guys” “What the heck are you….” Milo said before he noticed that Remy was right in his claims. “AHHHHHHHHH” Ben screamed wiggling his hooves. The three brothers quickly noticed that it wasn’t just their hands were being changed. Their whole bodies were being changed by what appears to be the portal’s magic. Each of the brothers was screaming in agony as their bodies turned into something different, yet it was also familiar to them. “AHHH, we’re Ponies” Milo and Ben screamed “Wait, we’re ponies” Remy suddenly realized what was happening to them as he knew what the portal was leading them to. “Guys, follow me, I think I know where to go” Remy smiled leaning more towards the portal. Milo and Ben tried to stop Remy from journeying forward, but there was no other place to stop at. Remy just hoped that the beings that lied on the other side of the portal were as nice as they were on the show. XxxX In Ponyville, Twilight looked to the skies using her telescope. The Princess of Friendship was exploring the night time sky hoping to do a little star gazing. It was a hobby of hers that has existed ever since she was a filly. Twilight found Luna’s night time sky especially calming. For some reason, it brought more happiness in Twilight’s face. However, not all was right with Twilight. Ever since the defeat of Tirek, Twilight has been feeling particularly lonely. Twilight never understood why she seemed to have this loneliness. Spike and the others tried to reassure her everything was alright, but Twilight couldn’t help but feel this strange sense that something was missing from her life. “I have great friends, a town that cares a lot about me, books and a large castle. Why am I still feeling this loneliness” Twilight felt that maybe a walk around Ponyville would calm her nerves. The princess of Friendship walked over seeing that her number one assistant, Spike was asleep in his small bed. She kissed the top of his head and smiled. He deserved a night to sleep, so she took a cloak and went into Ponyville alone. XxxX As Twilight made her way into Ponyville, she took great notice of how empty the streets were. Well, she couldn’t say that it was completely empty. She saw various mares and colts coming outside to either take out trash, check their mails, and even going on dates. Twilight saw that many restaurants were opening late due to date night. For some strange reason, Twilight felt that her lonely heart was connected to how she saw various couples in Ponyville. Why was she bothered by this? Many ponies were out having dates. They might be either married, dating or having their first or seventh date. Twilight sighed as she decided to ignore the various couples and try to get some sleep back at the castle. She didn’t even understand why she exited the castle in the first place. “Oooooohhh, a shooting star” A mare in red smiled “Wait a minute, three shooting stars” A colt in blue corrected his marefriend. Twilight turned around seeing what the couple was looking at. From the sky that casing a powerful moonlight, Twilight could see three shoot stars hurling over the sky. At first, Twilight thought it was weird seeing three shooting stars in the sky at the same time. It was a high probability of such an event would occur. Twilight knew it had a one to three billion six hundred twenty million seven hundred thousand six hundred forty percent chance of that happening. The alicorn saw the shooting stars hurling towards the Ever free Forest. Twilight felt in her heart that those shooting stars were calling to her. Twilight groaned knowing she should be asleep, yet the curious young mare wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip through her hooves. Curiosity was killing her inside. It kept telling her to explore the area of the forest, to take a peek at her mystery stars. Using her wings, Twilight flew up high in the sky to see what these “Shooting Stars” were. Twilight saw the wreckage of the Ever free forest. About a tenth of the forest was spread apart due to the actions of these three shooting stars. Twilight found what she was looking for seeing that the demolished trees stopped about the edge of a cliff. Twilight flew down to confront the shooting stars that had caused quite a scene and ruckus in the forest. The purple alicorn noticed the large group animals’ dispersing into the forest after they had sensed her presence. “Alright, shooting stars tell me what you are” Twilight said causing her horn to illuminate the area around her. To her shock, she saw these shooting stars weren’t stars at all. They were three stallions that had crashed landed from an unknown origin. Twilight noticed their groans as if they were injured. The princess took this as a sight that they needed help. Twilight went to the first hole to her left. “Hello, are you three alright” Twilight said as she saw the raven haired red coat earth pony with a wrench as his flank. “Remy….when I wake up….from this” He mumbled “I will....kill….you” Twilight was very confused and immediately let go of the earth pony feeling how hot he was. She exited the first hole and entered the hole in the middle. She approached the green coat, brown mane of the Pegasus that was unconscious at the moment. “Will you two stop it, stop acting like little girls” The colt said before he fell into unconsciousness. Twilight exited the hole still resting with questions than answers. Twilight felt she would gain more understanding if the last colt was to speak up. She gaze upon his body seeing that he was a blue coat unicorn with crimson red hair. Twilight slowly approached the unicorn hoping that he was alright. “Milo….Ben….Are you two….Alright?” The blue stallion asked with a whisper “We’re in Equestria…..yaaaaaaaaa” Twilight pulled the three colts out of the holes with her magic. She was very confused wondering where they came from. Twilight was wrestling with multiple theories in her brain. However, her thinking would have to wait as she felt the hit of raindrops on her head. It was raining hard. Twilight immediately took a large branch from the broken tree. It was a branch where there were more leaves than a branch. She could have used her wings to carry the colts one by one. However, that idea flew away as she noticed the vulture that perched themselves on the remaining branches. She had to take all three of them at the same time. Twilight could feel those vultures were hungry and the three ponies that were on the leaves looked taste to them. Twilight couldn't risk the chance of her not making it in time to have two of them captured by the vultures. She put the colts right next to one another and decided to take them to a place that wasn't far from where they were. “Maybe Zecora can tell me about these strange ponies?” Twilight said as she used her magic to pull the branch as the three colts were unconscious at the moment. It wouldn't be that far to reach Zecora, yet Twilight had to avoid the rain for she didn’t know how different these colts were. Princess Twilight could sense their aura was different than any Earth pony, Pegasi, or unicorn she has encountered before. She felt Zecora might have the answers that she needs.
