Chapter 2: The new Arrivals

The sun rose up in Equestrian skies and the sound of roosters making a wake up call to all ponies in Ponyville . It was early in the morning and the ponies in Ponyville were getting ready to do their usual routines. Some ponies are getting ready to go work; some are getting ready to go to school.

“*Inhale* Ahhhh” a sound of a satisfied mare who just got up and was ready to start the day. “Good morning Ponyville. I hope you’re ready for the awesome Rainbow Dash!” Rainbow screamed up in the skies and saw the town of Ponyville below her.

“What to do first, what to do first.” Rainbow scans all of Ponyville to start her first activities.

“Gosh darnit!” A familiar voice was heard and grabs Rainbow’s attention, looking at the source that it came from.

“Applejack!” Rainbow screams to grab her friend’s attention and landing next to her.

“Oh hey, Rainbow.” Applejack changes her expression to confusion on something very odd. “Why you up so early in the morning. I never seen you as a morning type?” AJ said.

“Well today is different, AJ old pal, cause this mare is going to settle down and find a stallion of her life.” Rainbow shows a mug smirk getting Applejack to roll her eyes.

“Oh really. May I recall the last time you started dating you shut down the few stallion in Ponyville, cause they were to slow and can’t keep up with your Awesomeness” Applejack said.

“Well…um…Today is different cause before I start dating, I am going to test out their agility and stamina, before I jump the gun.” Rainbow Dash floats besides her friend.

“Well…I’m kind of happy for you Rainbow, I think…but why are so obsessed on finding a stallion of your calibration?” Applejack asks.

“Well it’s just that…ugh how do I put it…I don’t want a stallion to slow me down and can’t keep up with me. Like I want a stallion to pal around with you know.” Rainbow said.

“Yeah I think I know where you’re getting at.” AJ remarked. “But aside from that, have you seen something weird last night?” AJ said.

“What do you mean?” Rainbow, confuse on AJ’s question, landed next to her.

“There are rumors around a falling stars crashing at the Everfree Forest and I was hoping you saw something last night.” She said.

“Well now that you mention it. After I hit the hay, I saw in my window a very bright light crashing down in the Everfree. I thought it was nothing and I just ignore it.”

“Well we need to inform Twilight. Who knows, it may be something bad that is coming our way and we need to prepare for ourselves.”

“Well if you say so. You lead the way. I’m right besides you.”

The two mares gallop towards the librarian castle to inform Twilight about the mysterious rumors that was heard and seen last night. Meanwhile, at the center of the Everfree Forest, six ponies were in some kind of formation.

“Okay let’s retrace our steps for a moment. How in the name of god were we turned into ponies and where the heck are we?” Dan said to his five best friends. Well make that four cause Sylvester fainted at the minute he saw his new body.

“I don’t know but I can get use to this dude. Look I got wings. Sweet!” Kyle said with joy in his voice inspecting his new body “I wonder how fast I can go with these wings.”

“Kyle, focus!” Dan said, trying to get Kyle’s attention.

“Oh sorry.” He shows a cheap smile.

“It’s fine, but seriously, let’s focus for a moment we were at school in the library and the jocks came and were trying to bully us. Suddenly lightning strikes inside a school building, getting all six of us here with pony bodies.” Dan retraces their steps and everybody agreeing that’s what happened.

“Um…guys…I’m sorry to…um interrupt, but I think I see some other ponies besides us in the forest.” Andrew pointed with his hoof when all them notice the royal guards were on a search.

“Um partner by any chance…did we brought attention towards us?” Richard said while looking at his friends.

“WEEEELLLLLLL we did fall from the sky in a big light, grabbing everypony’s attention and even the princess herself, getting her to send her guards to investigate.” Everyone looks at Denis with a confuse look.

“Wait how do you know?” Kyle asks.

“Just a hunch.” He smiles

“Well whatever it is, I ain’t going in no pony cell.” Richard said backing away from the guards who were still in a search party.

“Agree. Kyle, pick up Sylvester and let’s get the heck out here.” Dan said, leading the way.

“Roger that boss.” As Kyle picked up Sylvester, he accidentally steps on a twig, getting the guards attention.

“Hey I heard something over here!”

“Ah crapbasket.” Kyle said

“Start running!” Dan said and everypony started running and getting the guards attention.

“HEY I FOUND THEM, YOU SIX STOP IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA!” The guard screamed.

The five friends were running in a direction that they don’t know and were chases by royal guards and were gaining up on them.

“Dan! Do something.” Kyle screams while one of the guards was right up his tail.

Dan panic and saw dark purple aurora lifting the guard and throwing him at the other “Oh crap sorry!” he screamed while getting away from them.

“What the heck Dan. How you do that?” Denis asks.

They slow down and look behind them if they were followed and it seems they lost the guards. “I don’t know really…but let’s focus on that later…if I am correct, if those were guards that mean there is a town somewhere.”

“Um…guys…I think I found it…” Andrew said while everybody sees a town and saw ponies walking around.

“Wow” they all said at the same time.

“Ugh” Sylvester was awoken and looked at Kyle who was caring him. “AHHHH…A MONSTER GUYS HELP!”

“Calm down drama king is me,” Kyle said

“Kyle…guys…um why are you ponies…is this a dream?” Sylvester got off from Kyle’s back.

“Apparently not Sylvester…somehow that incident in the library brought us in some world were human don’t exist and ponies are living like normal human beings, well except they’re ponies.” Richard said.

“Oh my…” Sylvester said looking at his pony body as he had a gray coat and a black mane.

Kyle has a blue coat and red, blue and green mane, Richard had a dark orange coat and brown hair, Andrew had a yellow coat and a white mane, Denis was a dark pink with a black mane also, and Dan has a dark purple with a gray mane. As all six of them inspect the town, Dan needed to find answers on what’s going on.

“I’m kinda tired of all that running.” Andrew said.

“Yeah…hey Dan, let’s take a breather and solve this when we all are rested.” Kyle put a hoof on his friend shoulder and Dan knew that was great idea.

“Yeah...let’s go. Stick together guys.” Dan said leading the way and entering Ponyville.

While the royal guards were searching the whole forest for them and scared as to what will the princess do if they told her that they found them and lost them. Back at Ponyville, the six ponies were strolling into town nervous and confuse on what was going on.

“Well okay guys…we need to chill somewhere safe and relaxing” Kyle said while looking for a hang out.

“Um sorry to intrude partner but this here old town is safe so keep it calm.” Richard said.

“Right...Right, sorry…its just that these wings, I’m kinda itching to test them out.” Kyle said while looking at his wings.

“Well…I'm not going to be a ass, so let’s do this…let’s all take a break and search around and see this town, cause right now on what’s going on,

it’s kinda interesting, their pony culture.” Dan said as he sees two ponies serving dinner at a restaurant.

“Well, that’s the coolest thing you have ever said in weeks...let’s go Richard and watch me test out these bad boys.” Kyle said as he gallops away from everyone.

“Gosh darnit Kyle wait up.” Richard looks at Dan “So meet up here when it gets dark.” Richard said.

“Affirmative” As Dan sees a smile from Richard and following Kyle were he was headed, he looks back at his other three friends. “So I’m going to check if there is a library in this town. Anyone want to come?”

“Well…um much I would love to, but I’m kinda hungry.” Andrew said getting his stomach to growl.

“Well that’s a problem.” Sylvester said.

“Don’t worry Andrew, your Uncle Denis is here to help!” Denis came right up his face.

“Um I’m a year older than you.”

“Right, come on. Let’s find something to grub on.” Denis said while followed by Andrew behind him.

“Well darling, it’s just you and me. I’ll come along to the library with you, who knows what monstrosity will see.”

Dan chuckle to his friend’s remark and were going to head to the library. And speaking of the Library, three mares were seen outside of the library, and it was none other than Rainbow, AJ, and Twilight discussing about the rumors.

“So that’s about it,” Rainbow said while finishing the rumors she and AJ heard.

“Well that is strange. I’ll send a note to the Princess right away. Maybe she knows something,” Twilight said.

“Great! If anything, let us know,” AJ replied

“Of course.”

“Well since that’s settles it, hey AJ? Let’s go to the park. Maybe I can show you my awesome trick and maybe I can impress the ponies in the park.

Applejack rolled her eyes at her remark. “Sure Rainbow. It’s not like I’m busy or anything.” Sarcasm was noted at her tone.

“GREAT! COME ON!” Rainbow flew off.

AJ smug and said her goodbyes to Twilight. As she was about to close the door, she heard two male voices headed her way. “I think is this way.”

Dan looks at the castle and was impress of the looks of the castle and kind of confused. “Well this can’t be it” Dan said.

“Um excuse me, can I help you?” Dan looks at the purple mare who brought his attention.

“Ok Dan, just act natural.” He thought to himself. “Um yes. I was kinda looking for a library and I kinda think I got the wrong direction.”

“Oh don’t be silly, this is a library.” She said getting close to the stallion.

“Really. Wow I never thought a library could be a castle.” Dan said looking at the huge structure.

“Seeing you amaze about this, you must be new around here. Name’s Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight introduce herself.

“Oh um I’m Dan.” He said looking at the Princess.

“Weird name for a pony?” Twilight ask.

“Um…yeah. I got very weird families.” He lied.

“Well come inside. The library isn’t come out here.” Twilight chuckles.

“Oh right, right…um Hey Sylvester, I found it!” Twilight got surprise that he had a friend with him.

“Oh thank god…sorry about that. I was looking at some interesting clothing in some shop and it was very gorgeous” Sylvester said and notice

Twilight beside him. “Oh hello there.”

“Um…hello you must be friends with Dan.” Twilight said, looking at Dan who was ready to go inside.

“Um actually yes…oh how rude of me, name’s Sylvester.”

“Um…Twilight Sparkle. It’s nice to meet you…now the library isn’t come outside.” She chuckles again.

“Right. Let’s go Dan…Wait?” Sylvester sees the castle and gave a confuse look “The library is in the castle?” he ask.

“Amazing right!” Dan said.

“Well it is quite outstanding.” The two stallions went inside the library and with Twilight behind them until she stops and notice something.

“Well…they’re the first not bowing at my presence. Huh…they must be new here.” Twilight shrug it off and went inside.

At the top of the mountain, a mysterious little figure appears and was watching from far away. “I have found my Prince.” The little mysterious figure disappears and leaving Sylvester a chill in his spine.

“You okay, Sylvester?” Twilight asks.

“Um yeah. It’s just…I feel something is going to cling on my leg or something.” Sylvester ignore the feelings and continues following Dan.
