"Remind me, again, why there's Equestria Girls and my rival's depressed best friend?" I asked Mew on this fine afternoon in his motel room.

"Oh, the girls aren't real. They're android M2 helped me build a year ago." He paused, hovering off the ground, "We're telepaths. You can be petrified by harmony magic and still think, no?"

"I guess so. Anyway, why is Box here?" I asked, nudging my head towards the white boxed hooved pony with the messy flame hair and pencil cutie mark laying on the pink couch. His fur was matted and he was covered in stains as if some foals had crayon and thought he was a wall. "He doesn't look too good."

His blue eyes surrounded with red looked over to me, "You just had to one-up Lego in every way, didn't you?" I had no response to the drunk-sounding stallion. He sat up, holding a blue pillow, "You were turned to stone by your lack of control over your power and Lego Craft was sent to a dungeon for killing the last chocolate cow."

"What? There's no such think as a 'chocolate cow'- there's some serious bull going on."

"Was that supposed to be a pun?!" A unicorn horn materialized on his head as he tried to fire at me. "How about you have an immortal family member stuck in prison with mortals?" He fired again, missing me before his horn disappeared. "He's probably gave up waiting for me..."

I turned into my version of Wolverine and sat on a blue chair, crossing my legs, "Actually, he hasn't. I actually had a reunion with him recently." Mew was about to stop me, but he was stopped by Mew Two.

Box glared at me, "Don't toy with me-"

"I'm serious!" I cut him off, "I was summoned by a displaced and summoned him from their world. He had a nether portal open so in mid-combat I met future you. Spoilers: he actually showered. Did you know Lego kicked me in the face?"

"SHUT UP!" Box yelled. "I came here to find a purpose not talk fairy tale prophesies with a heartless jerk!"

"Heartless jerk? Dude, this isn't false hope. Twilight Sparkle becomes a princess and a bucket load of changes happen." Fake-human Twilight and her friends got in a group hug as Fake-human Pinkie short circuits from her joy. I held my hands up, "What happens in this room stays in this room." Mew Two revived Pinkie, who frowned at the news.

"No party?" she asked.

I looked over to her sadly, "No party." Then I smirked, "Unless I get a-"

"You haven't established residence here. The cupcake is for visitors."

I shrugged, returning to my normal form, "Fine. But, didn't get a cupcake."

"I didn't expect a humanoid tiger to get jumped by Sonics," Pinkie replied, walking off with her friends. Box began laughing a tame laugh that got him smirking. A cupcake was rolled over on a plate on wheels, bumping into my foot.



You only get one. - Pinkie Pie. P.S. My last pen ran out of ink.







"Focus."

Focus.

"Focus..."

...on our voice.

I was starting to have calm, shallow breaths when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I opened one eye to find a nervous Mew, "What's up?"

OH, COME ON! Mew Two shouted. On my scouter, Cortana filled the screen with tables, her now 8-bit body flipping every table in her [  >:(  ] . It was actually cute.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I was informed that I was making a cake for the Displopolis anniversary party." He took out a page of instructions, "My sugar supplier is having wagon problems. I need you to bring him to 'Powerpuff Cafe' from Our Town."

I blinked, "This is a town?"

"No! Our Town is the name of an equalist community that rivals Amon's Territory. Dumb town names aside-"

*DONG! DONG! DONG!*

Mew checked a watch that came from nowhere, looking pretty spooked, "Noon? Not enough time! You're going to have to take a shortcut!"

I got up asking, "Any ideas?"

"Above the clock tower, there's a ghost pirate ship. It used to belong to the Flying Dutchman, but Casper owns it until the drunk can pay his sky rent. In the ship there's a portal dubbed 'the Purfume Isle' that will take you to Our Town... the town."

I nodded, "Make a Spongebob reference, grab the sugar wagon. Add some montage music and I'm set!"

"Be warned, there are no powers in the isle and the perfume is French. While I'm shopping I must know: Can you handle this?"





I emerged from the portal, smelling like wine and piss. "I couldn't do it, but I survived!" I gasped. Looking at the clock on my ultimatrix- eat your heart out Ben Tennyson! -I was losing time. As I neared a safe distance, I altered my Pegasus form to create and control winds (without doing work) to my advantage. I slammed down on the hovering ring, falling to the ground as the transformation was sudden.

I was a grey Pegasus with a red mane/tail with my ultimatrix disguised as a fireball. Magic pulsed on my wings as I took off, debatably faster than Rainbow Dash, but control was another lost factor. I bounced off building after building with the grace of a pinball. I think I even heard pinball clinks and clanks!

When I met the ground, I looked up to see ponies... with creepy smiles... saying 'welcome' in the same tone. I felt something move from under me, looking down I landed on a pink pony... I'm not going to describe how she looking under my butt.

There was a pony that noticed this, asking, "Can you get off Starlight Glimmer, please?" I quickly did so, including making some wind to clean her off as I floated her to her hooves.

"Whoops! Sorry 'bout that ma'am." She had a faux smile, for good reason too! I took out the list, "I'm looking for a... Party Favor. He was supposed to arrive in Displopolis with some sugar, but we were informed that his wagon broke."

Starlight gave a bigger smile, "I know where he's at. Allow me to take you to him." We left the town, walking up a mountain trail to a cave... with a giant ipad. "Did you know cutie marks are a curse?"

"I've heard."

"Really?! By who?"

"You." Flicking my tail, I turned into a pink-white unicorn with my ultimatrix disguised as a pink five-point star surrounded by four-point stars. "In fact, I could agree."

She had a face that looked straighter than that Double Diamond guy, "What are you?!"

"I used to be earth pony 24/7, but some unicorn hit me with a changeling spell before I got my cutie mark. I'm every race of pony, now. Anyway, I was skeptical as a feather brain and now I'm using all of my brain. I have... I think five marks on me."

Starlight shook her head, resuming sanity, "Well, I can take them away if you want?"

We stopped directly in front of- is that Box's cutie mark in the glass? And spilled milk? Ablue pony turned to me, eyes filled with pain, and smiling as he said, "Welcome!" Before I could respond, I blacked out.
