//------------------------------// // Chapter 1- This day just got a whole lot weirder. // Story: What could go wrong? // by TheOctoWriter //------------------------------// Thomas woke up and stretched. "Ahh! Another beautiful day in Wyoming!" He said as he saw the sun poking its head out. Its bright rays greeted him to a beautiful Monday. Thomas started getting ready to go to work. He brushed the fur on his head. Brushed his teeth. And made sure that his suit was free of wrinkles. Then Thomas crawled out of his cave home. "Hey Tom!" Frank said. Frank was Tom's best friend. Well his only friend. He was a medium sized bear with a mohawk. He also had some tattoos, mostly of various types of leaves that he liked. Rather intimidating at first but a friendly bear once you got to know him. Thomas didn't really make any friends at the workplace. He preferred to focus on his work. "Oh hey Frank, how have you been?" "Good, you heading to work?" "Yeah, I gotta take care of some squirrels that are bothering the boss." "Good luck! Nasty little critters..." Frank said. "See ya frank." Thomas said as he continued to head to work. Thomas made it to his workplace in 25 minutes. "Hey Tom, I need you to get rid of those Squirrels by the afternoon!" Thomas's boss Delone yelled. Thomas's boss was a old grizzled bear, claimed he had fought in some forest wars. Thomas used to grab some fish with him when he had the time. "On it boss!" Thomas said as went outside his workplace to scare off the squirrels. Thomas roared and jumped at them. The squirrels scattered. All except for one. This squirrel was Archie. Shady type of squirrel, rumors had it that he ran some type of gang. The bird cops found that he was selling drugs too. No animal wanted to screw him over. "Thomas..." The head squirrel gang leader said casually. "Archie, cut the niceties. I want your crew to lay off of Delone." Thomas said curtly. "Alright Thomas, I'll do this favor for you." Archie said "But you owe me Thomas, you better pay up, or else someone's losing a paw. You got me?" Thomas flinched slightly at the thought. "Yeah, Archie. I got you." "Good." The gang leader then disappeared into the greenery. Thomas went back to his boss. "I took care of the squirrels boss. They won't be bothering you anymore." "Good job Thomas! I knew I could count on you." Thomas got started on the stack of paperwork he was suppose to do. "Thomas." Delone said. "Yes boss?" Thomas asked. "Why don't you take the rest of the day off?" "Boss?" Thomas asked confused. "You helped me deal with those annoying squirrels earlier, so I feel this is a proper reward." "Thanks boss!" Thomas said happily. Thomas left his workplace and went home. He decided that since he had nothing else to do, may as well sleep. Thomas had woken up from a bad dream in a cold sweat. That was a weird dream, I was trapped in a hospital in another world Thomas thought. Thomas started laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. "Doctor! He's waking up!" A pony nurse said. Thomas just stared at her. And stared. And kept staring until the doctor came up to him and asked him if he was okay. "Talking horses... What the [Censored]!" Then he fainted. How could this all go wrong? Thomas thought. Then he remembered what brought him here. Discord! I'm gonna [Censored] him! Thomas thought. Flashback- Monday night. "Ahh! That was some good fish!" Thomas said as he rubbed his belly. Of course, it sounded more like "Arghhgghghg..." to any human ear listening. After Thomas ate his fill, he decided to explore. However, as Thomas neared a recent unexplored cave. Something incredible happened. A strange creature with the body of what appeared to be a Dragon, the talons of a Griffon. and the leg of a Dragon and Minotaur appeared in a flash of light. The one thing Thomas noticed immediately was those red eyes that stared into his very soul. "Hello! My friend! Wouldn't you like to go on a magical adventure in another world?." Discord said, while juggling nine chainsaws, a rhino, and 20 scorpions that were on fire. "Um, no... what are you?" "Who are you?" "How can you understand me?" "Bah! You ask too many questions my fur covered friend... don't you wanna leave this world?" "No." Thomas said firmly. "But why not? What's so great here that would make you want to stay?" "I got a house, food, and don't have to pay animal taxes." "Hmph. You're no fun." Discord said with annoyance. Then Discord snapped his fingers. Wyoming disappeared in an instant. Thomas then noticed they were transported to some type of white space. "Where are we?!" Thomas said. "What's going on?!!" He said in a more panicky voice. "Relax. It's just a pocket dimension." "Pocket dimension?" "Yes." Discord then made the motion of grabbing and tearing it. Thomas was confused at first, but then he realized that Discord had tore a hole through the dimension. Without waiting for Thomas to even complain or protest Discord told him "You're going there." Discord pointed to the dimensional tear. Thomas took a closer look, And noticed some ponies. It was strange seeing them walk around and have a functioning society. But then again, Thomas was a talking bear. "No way man, err weird dragon dude." "I'm wanna go back to Wyoming." "Too bad, so sad..." Discord said with mock sympathy. "Why are you-" Thomas didn't even get to finish his sentence as he was lifted up with Discord's magic. "Land on the trees, they hurt less than the ground. you dip[Censored]." Discord said with a evil smile. "Wait. why are you-" "Ahhh! What the [Censored]?!" Thomas cried out as Discord flung him into the dimensional tear.
