"Oh... my... gosh! Crusaders!" One of them said in a southern accent. She was dressed in a cowgirl outfit. The others were in costumes too. One was dressed as a motocross cyclist... only on a scooter... and the other was a princess... or a rich person? I don't know, she had some fancy dress on, anyways. They three of them were toting around a wagon for their candy. It was connected to the motorised scooter teh motocross one had.
"It's a pony!" The cyclist shouted.
"We should take him back to the clubhouse." The cowgirl said. Instinctively, my ears drooped... wow was that a weird feeling. No one really knew where the Crusaders' clubhouse was, so if the took me there, no one would be able to find me! I would be... their pet... for the rest of my life... Then it struck me that I was an animal for the rest of my life, no matter what happened next.
"We should braid his mane!" The princess(?) exclaimed. The three of them started to close in on me. I started pushing at the ground to move backwards. You try running from little girls when you're in an entirely new body. Just then, Charles snapped out of his shock. He stepped between us.
"Ok girls, that's close enough," He said, crossing his arms. The Southern accent one began to laugh... wait, wasn't that Charles' sister?
"How are we gonna carry it back to the clubhouse from here?" She asked sarcastically.
"You're not," Charles said simply, staring her down.
"And why is that?" The Scooter one asked, a bit of anger in her voice. Charles stayed silent.
He didn't think this through did he? "That's what I thought." The same one said. In the next few seconds, they walked around Charles, put me in the wagon, and raced off, without us having any time to react.
'Alright, enough of this.' I thought to myself. But just as I started to climb out of the wagon, one of the other two jumped on me. It didn't hurt, but I couldn't get up. I began to panic. So, I did the sensible thing, and started flailing around under the surprisingly heavy kid. Either she weighed a (literal) ton, or I was REEEALLY weak. The latter made more sense.
"Stop squirming!" The Southern voice said, putting a hand on my... mane... and began petting me. It... was surprisingly calming. I closed my eyes, and just let her pet me. That... sounded really really weird.
I guess I blacked out, because when I opened my eyes again I was in (what I suspected to be) the crusader's clubhouse.
"What, where am I?" I asked, raising my head. I had curled into a ring shape (like an actual horse) and had a red blanket over me. The door on the far side of the room opened, and the crusaders entered. They had a tray, with what I guessed was fruits and vegetables on it. I noticed cowgirl and motocross had taken off their head-wear. They slowly walked over to me, I guess not to freak me out. Cowgirl keeled down next to me.
"Hey," Southern accent said without the accent. "Sorry if we scared you back there, we just wanted to get you to safety."
"I was safe where I was, thank you very much." I said angrily. "Who are you anyway?"
"I'm Jessica," Southern accent said, causing her friends to give her a weird look. "And this is Sarah and Sammy."
"Actually, I go by Scoots." "Sammy," the motocross interjected. That's it! It was Scoots that was from that cartoon! I nodded in understanding.
"And I go by-" Sarah started, before she was interrupted by Jessica.
"Sarah." She said, as if she wanted her to remember something she said earlier... when I was out. They looked at me expectantly, waiting on my name. I opened my mouth, but then realized something... it would be humiliating if word got out that I was in a little kid's club house... especially if it were involved that they over powered me, and they literally dragged me here against my will, and I was powerless to stop them (no one would tell/ believe the "being a pony part"). So... I came up with a fake name.
"I'm Sky Breaker." I said. It was the coolest name I could think of... you come up with something better in 2 seconds!
"You're a chubby pony." Sarah (the princess[?]) said. I looked down at my belly... and they were right. I know, as a human I wasn't the most physically fit... but come on! I wasn't near... this! OK, so I wasn't "morbidly obese" but I was a little pudgy. "Scoots" smacked Sarah in the arm with the back of her hand.
"Don't say that! You'll hurt his feelings!" I rolled my eyes at this.
"I think I can take a little girl calling me 'chubby'." I stated flatly. Jessica cleared her throat.
"So, Sky, what are you doing here?" She asked. "I mean, on earth. Shouldn't you be in Equestria?"
...
Equestria was the princess... right? No... that doesn't make sense... unless the show decided it was TVMA now. Then, I came up with a lie.
"Actually... I'm... trying to get back! Yeah, that's it. I'm trying to get back to Equestria... and I was almost there until you three came and abducted me!" I said. Look, I'm still a bit sore over the fact that a little girl was able to pin me down.
"We're awful sorry," Jessica said, her "country accent" sneaking back in. I use the quotation marks because her family is from New York... not Texas... and also Texans talking like that is a stereotype. I lived there for a year, no cowboys. "We didn't know..." She was clearly about to cry.
"Hey hey... It's OK. It was a long shot anyway." I said, patting her on the shoulder. What? I'm not made of stone, you know. She looked up,
"Really?" She asked. I smiled at her, but then my stomach growled. LOUD. The three girls giggled. I smiled to.
Jessica pushed the trey over to me. It was a salad, with lettuce and carrots... with ranch dripped on it. It was in a bowl... and a pretty big bowl. I don't think I can eat all that (partly because I'm to too keen on salad)! I was about to ask for a fork, when I remembered that ponies ate with their mouths, because they can't pick things up with their hooves. So, I leaned in, and took a bite. It was...
Amazing.
It was the best thing I've ever had!
"Mmmm!" I moaned, tasting the salad. I'm not sure if it was the carrots, or the ranch on it, but it was awesome!
"You like it?" Jessica asked. I nodded immediately. Then, I shoved my muzzle in the bowl and started packing it away. The girls started laughing, but I didn't really care.
Once I finished the salad, I leaned back on my haunches, and patted my stomach. I think I could get used to this! I looked around the room. It mostly bare wood walls... they were too bare. The closer I looked, the more it looked like things had been put up there... and had been taken down fast.
"What was hanging on the walls?" I asked, mostly out of curiosity. The three of them froze when I said that.
"How-" Sarah started before Scoots covered her mouth and interjected:
"Nothing was hanging there." I narrowed my eyes. Weren't they all fans of that show that Scoots got her name from?
"It was 'My Little Pony' stuff wasn't it?" I asked flatly. All three of them sighed, busted.
"Yeah," Sarah said.
"We just didn't want you to freak out, seeing all this stuff from your world." Scoots explained.
"Please, I think I can handle some pony merch." I scoffed, waving a hoof dismissively.
BAM! The door was suddenly kicked down and Charles busted in... wait... was he holding a gun!?!
... Wait... no, it's just a nerf gun we spray painted black.
"I'm here for the pony!" He shouted, in a gruff voice. Scoots and Sarah stood defensively.
"Charles?!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!" Jessica and I shouted at Charles.
"I'm here to... to..." Charles stuttered. I face hoofed.
"Nice job, my knight in shining armor." I said sarcastically. Jessica looked at me for a moment.
"Sky Breaker... you know my brother?" Jessica asked. I nodded.
"Yeah he was the first human I met when I came here from Equestria." I said, looking at him, giving him the hint. He nodded at me after a moment.
"That's right! And I found a way to send you back!" Charles exclaimed, a little too obvious that something wasn't real here. Hoping that what he said translated to "you can turn back," I acted on it.
"That's great!" I exclaimed in excitement.
"You'll teleport back when the sum comes up, but you have to be alone, so girls do not, follow us. Do you understand?" the girls nodded in response.
"But... sunrise is a long time away... do you have to leave right now?" Scoots asked. I looked at Charles.
"I guess an hour couldn't hurt." I shrugged. Charles face palmed.
