Upon stepping into the portal, I lost my hoofing. I fell, down, and down, a strange spiraling vortex. I screamed and closed my eyes. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS AND WHEN DOES IT STOP!?!
I was suddenly thrown into a wall. I opened my eyes again, and Celestia and Lyra were casually striding out, as if it was one step from there to here. How'd they do that??? Then, the portal closed.
"Are you alright?" Celestia asked.
"As alright as any girl who's just been ripped from her friends, family, and home would be." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Emma!" Lyra hissed. "She's the princess, show her some respect!"
...
I just rolled my eyes... at a sun god... I laughed of fear, and began to sweat. Holysh**Ijustrolledmyeyesatasungod. Celestia chuckled.
"Relax, my little pony," Oh my god they actually say that. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A FORCED JOKE THE SHOW ADDED!!! "What do you think? I'd throw you in the dungeon? I did just remove you from your home, be it for your own good, but a little anger is expected." She shrugged. I stood up and bowwed.
"Th- thank you princess." I stuttered. She chuckled again.
"I'll be back in a moment." She said, leaving the room. Lyra was suddenly tackled to the floor but a beige earth pony.
"Oh my Celestia, LYRA! What were you thinking?!?" The earth pony shrieked.
"I just wanted to see them so bad!" Lyra groaned.
"And look what happened!" The earth pony gestured to me. I feel like a problem now... thanks for that, random earth pony.
"I'm fine with it, really, I am." I said.
"But you shouldn't have to be!" She sighed at me. "I'm Bonbon, Lyra's roommate, though sometimes I feel like her foal-sitter." She extended a hoof. I shook it.
"I'm Emma Lyra's-" I was going to say "friend," but Lyra interrupted.
"Sister!" She said, jumping over to us and wrapping a hoof around me. "She's ma sister now!" I smiled at her. Bonbon narrowed her eyes at Lyra, but her grin betrayed her.
"You did always talk about how you wanted a sister," Bonbon said. "So I guess she'll be staying with us?"
"Of course!" Lyra nodded. "Ooh! We need to show her around town!"
"Yeah, I guess that I'd better learn the layout sooner or later." I shrugged.
"Great! There are so many places I need to show to you! Like..." I then tuned her out, only vaguely catching the names of places that sounded familiar from the show.
"Sounds good." I muttered.
"Emma!" A familiar voice exclaimed. I turned around, and there was the familiar white blue-maned (full) earth pony.
"Lacey!" I exclaimed, wrapping my for hooves around her.
"Emma! I'm so happy you're here!" Lacey exclaimed. I heard an angry horse noise, and looked behind her to see Jake, glaring at us.
"Nice to see you to, Jake." I grinned. He just rolled his eyes. Jake was leaning against a wall on two legs, like he were still a human (or at least an anthro).
"I was hoping," Celestia said from the door. "That you would extend your hospitality to these two as well, but I can understand if-"
"No no!" Bonbon exclaimed. "We'd be honored to house them." She bowed. Why were ponies always scared of her? Why was I scared of her? Celestia giggled.
"Now, I must be off, I have the second half of day court to attend, My sister does get cranky when she doesn't get her beauty sleep. Goodbye." She said, trotting to a chariot and being flown off. Bonbon's stomach began to complain.
"Can we get something to eat? I'm starving." Bonbon said. I looked down below me, yeah, I could go for a lunch as well.
"Sounds good." I said. I glanced back at where the portal was, and felt... sad. It began to dawn on me what just happened. I shook it away before I could cry.
"We should go to sugar cube corner!" Lacey exclaimed. I rolled my eyes.
"OK, let's go get some lunch." I laughed.
I gaped in awe as we wal- trotted through the streets of Ponyville. There were so many ponies!
"Wow! I never though I'd see this many ponies!" Lacey exclaimed.
"Burn it." Jake muttered.
"Oh, come on!" I nudged him with my elbow... or is it knee? "Doesn't this feel amazing? And you get to learn magic!"
"Probably need to say 'friendship is magic' for it to work." He pouted.
"That's not how it works at all!" Lyra giggled. "You have these... mental picture things, and magic channels in your horn and stuff." she explained. Jake looked confused for a moment.
"Oh..." Jake trailed off.
"Come on, I've watched the show. It's not as girly as you'd expect." I chuckled.
"And besides, your stuck here now!" Lyra said. Jake's ears drooped. "Come on, you'll be fine! The ponies in this town are very excepting and welcoming, as long as you don't act like a jerk, you'll be fine. Oh look! We're here!" She said, pointing at gingerbread cottage in the distance. Lacy began to jump up and down.
"Sugar cube corner!" She squealed. "Can we meet-"
And then we met Pinkie Pie.
