PART 1: INTRODUCTION
Day 1
Twilight Sparkle put on a saddle with 2 bags on the sides, filled with blankets and snack foods.
"Are you ready girls?" She turned to the other five ponies: Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity, who were ready as well.
"Princess Celestia sent me a letter, but this one was different than the others. We have to journey somewhere we've never been before- somewhere out of Equestria!"
"Wh-What?!?"
"Where could that be?"
"I don't understand."
"It's in another universe!"
"What exactly are we going there for?" Rarity asked.
"To explore our home!" Twilight Sparkle seemed pretty happy at the thought of them being able to live in not one, but TWO universes.
"Princess Luna found a beautiful, unpopulated planet known as, 'Earth'." Twilight readied her horn, flipping through a book.
"We shall explore this place and see if it's all what we imagined! Ready?"
"Ready!" The other five ponies chorused.
"WAIT!"
"What is it Fluttershy??? Can't it wait till we're there??" Rainbow Dash was obviously REALLY impatient to go to this so called Earth.
"B-but what if there are dangerous creatures? Or dangerous terrains? Or what we're kidnapped and kept for testing?!?"
"Silly Fluttershy! Princess Celestia confirmed all that planet had was LOADS of flora!"
Twilight Sparkle cheered.
"Wait...where's Spike?"
"Right here!" Spike ran to his friends.
"Oh there you are! Are you ready?"
"Oh boy! So I AM coming??" Spike's eyes went huge with excitement.
"Well actually you need to take care of the house for me." Twilight Sparkle dropped a pile of scrolls into Spike's arms.
"Oh! That's....uh....." Spike mumbled, dragging his feet to the front door of the library.
"Can we GO NOW?" Rainbow Dash asked impatiently.
"Yup!" Twilight Sparkle and the other touched hooves as Twilight ejected light from her horn, illuminating the room with an unatural glow.
"WE'RE GOING TO SEE OUR NEW HOME!! YAAYY!!!" Pinkie Pie cheered gleefully, before the Mane Six dissolved to mist, and sped through several galaxies, finally finding the Milky Way.
The six ponies crashed landed in a dumpster in some alley way. Of course the first one to come out was Rarity.
"Ugh! Is there any place that DOESN'T have smelly gar- hey look, I'm the first pony to step on this new world."
The next to hop out was Pinkie Pie, who started bouncing around cheerfully.
"YAY! WE'RE IN OUR NEW HOME!"
Next Rainbow Dash zoomed out into the sky, but crashed into a billboard in the process. She flopped onto the ground. This billboard told the date: November 14, 2013.
Applejack casually climbed out and stretched.
"I thought this teleportation of yers wouldn't have such tough landins'."
Twilight Sparkle poked her head out of the dumpster.
"Anybody seen Fluttershy?"
"She might have landed somewhere else." Rarity suggested.
"I guess that means we wouldn't have to stop every ten seconds from Fluttershy's whining." Rainbow Dash retorted.
"Don't worry, this planet is COMPLETELY unpopulated! The last species was wiped out."
"I think Princess Celestia missed one vital detail," Applejack gulped.
"It IS populated. VERY populated."
Twilight Sparkle was confused. She hopped out of the dumpster and took a peek. Hundreds of humans were crowding the streets, much to Twilight's disappointment.
"WHAT??? These weren't the huge monstrous lizards the Princess mentioned!"
"AWWWW!!!" Pinkie Pie gained a depressing face.
"Looks like something beat us here."
Twilight looked determined.
"Don't worry! There's GOTTA be a place we can live! Let's get searching!"
Day 2
Nick opened his notebook and started taking notes for the lesson.
"Alright class, today we'll be talking about alternate universes."
His students all groaned in dismay.
"Not again...."
"Be realistic for once."
"What's wrong with this teacher?"
"I think this subject is quite interesting." Nick was the only one who liked Mr. White. He usualy covered surreal subjects, and was never afraid to express his beliefs.
"Well, I believe that almost everything we create has its very own universe. In fact-"
Mr. White grabbed a marker and vigorously drew crude drawings of stick figures. He told the story of how the stick figures journeyed across magical lands.
"Now, all this is happening at this very moment!"
"This is very interesting," Nick said.
"Is there any way that world can merge with our world?"
"Possible. But unlikley. We're protected by the fourth wall, so they can't reach us. Some are aware of this invisible force, but some barely notice it at all. For instance? People are probably watching us right now."
The whole class opened their mouths in awe. Some spat out their gum while some girls checked themselves in their mirrors to see if they looked good.
"Wup! Class dismissed. See you tomorrow! Next we learn about the rules of universes emerging!"
Nick limped to Mr. White's desk.
"Hey Nick! How's that leg?"
Nick rubbed the brace that kept his leg from giving up on him. He sighed.
"The doctor said it may never heal. So I'm gonna have to live with it for a long time."
"Well good luck," Mr. White said with sympathy in his eyes.
Nick limped down the stairs of the school to the Old Commons area to find his other five friends: Phoenix, Harry, Jennifer, Amy, and Lucy.
Phoenix was a cocky one, always boasting about how he's better than everybody else. He's been expelled from every school on Whidbey Island, and this high school is the only one that would take him. Small talk said that he's banned in 5 states. And Ireland.
Harry was allergic to apples, according to his parents, who hated them.
Jennifer was thought nothing was right for her, and she always complained.
Amy was VERY timid, but she can beat up anybody who mentioned anything against her beliefs. That is, when she wasn't getting beat up herself.
Then there's Lucy. She's been through a tougher life than everybody in the entire school combined. The only thing keeping her alive is her friends, and despite her obvious depression, she's bullied more than Amy.
Nick is the leader of the group. He is almost never seen outside the classroom or library, or without his friends. He used to run track, but an injury crippled his leg, making him unable to walk properly.
Nick set his lunch down on the table.
"I bet you five bucks I can own you on Call of Duty."
"Is that.....them?" Nick asked with a worried look. Like all schools, this one had bullies. And they were complete monsters. The leader of the pack went by the name of Buck. He and his henchmen loved targeting Nick for some reason.
"Behind you!" Amy cried.
Buck kneed Nick's legbrace. His legbrace collapsed as he felt a jolt of pain, making him fall to the floor.
"Get back up!" Buck demanded. Nick was grasping the edge of the table, using it as an aid.
"I SAID GET BACK UP!!" He pulled Nick back up.
"Don't hurt him!" Amy begged Buck.
"Shut the hell up," Buck said before pushing Amy down.
"Stop saying that!"
"I can say whatever I want! Go pray in your little corner!"
Phoenix sprang up.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!"
"What are YOU going to do?"
"Kick your ass, that's what!"
The bully grabbed Amy; his two minions held Phoenix.
Buck tightened his fist, ready to jab Amy's jaw.
"HEY!"
Mr. White waved to the brawl.
"What's going on?"
Buck smiled and patted Amy on the back. She gave off a faint yelp.
"THAT'S how you push, Amy! Now none of those dumb bullies will harm you!" he said in a playful way.
Mr. White narrowed his eyes and slowly walked away.
When Mr. White was out of earshot, Buck pushed Amy aside and ran off.
Nick helped Amy up.
"Are you alright?"
Amy rubbed the tears from her eyes and nodded.
Day 3
Twilight Sparkle used her horn to navigate the dark forest of Whidbey Island.
"I do hope Fluttershy's okay,"
Rarity thought aloud.
"I'm sure she is," Twilight answered.
"She's probably getting along nicely with the wild animals."
A wolf howled.
"GHOST!" Pinkie Pie yelled before hiding in a tree knot.
"Ew, it's sticky in here!" her voice echoed.
"Y'all here that?" Applejack interrupted.
The sound of footsteps covered the forest's eerie soundtrack.
"I'll see what it is," Rainbow Dash offered. But instead of checking, she flew straight into the noise.
"RAINBOW DASH! NO!" Twilight Sparkle cried.
Nick was kicking rocks through the woods, thinking about today's incident. He was wondering how he could keep his friends from going through this misery. Without warning, his eyesight doubled and he felt a strong force go through him. For a second he thought he got shot, but he found himself on the ground with Rainbow Dash standing over him.
"It's just another stupid human!" Rainbow Dash yelled back.
"TALKING PONY?!?"
"TALKING HUMAN?!?"
Both Nick and Rainbow Dash recoiled. Then the other ponies showed themselves.
Nick felt like fainting, but he forced consciousness.
"I-I guess that was a bullet, and I'm going through a dying dream..."
"What are you talking about?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"Looks like the first human we communicated with is a stupid one, just like all the others."
"Stop it Rainbow Dash!"
"It's true!"
"What do you mean, 'like everybody else?'"
"We've been chased down by several of your kind," Twilight responded casually.
"One even tried to shoot Rainbow Dash. You're the first human to stay sane."
Nick passed out.
Nick woke up in a pile of leaves.
"We were so close to finding help."
One of the ponies said.
"It's final- humans are stupid."
Nick raised his head, and his eyes widened as he saw the ponies again.
"Oh look, he's awake! Can you bring us to your leader?"
Nick passed out again.
"Human.........human..........HUMAN!!!!!!!!!"
Nick jumped and saw the rainbow colored pony.
Nick sighed.
"Let's get his over with. It's no use. Who are you, first of all?"
Twilight sighed with relief.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle. This is Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack. There was a Fluttershy, but she's gone."
"And we need shelter!" Rarity complained.
"The last thing I need is getting covered in dirt from ANOTHER UNIVERSE."
Nick cocked an eyebrow.
"I'll see what I can do."
Nick lead the ponies to his home. His parents were heavy, heavy sleepers, so Nick has minimal trouble with the sound of the ponies' hooves tapping the wooden floor.
Nick brought the ponies to his room.
"Stay here, alright? I need to find out what's going on here."
Nick phoned his friends.
"What is it Nick?" Phoenix asked drowsily. "It's almost midnight."
"There are cartoonish ponies in my room right now and I want to know what the heck they're doing here!"
"Cartoonish.....ponies? You're kidding. Nice one. Goodnight."
"Wait! I'm serious! There are cartoonish ponies in my room! Here, I'll prove it to you......"
Nick shoved the phone in front of Rarity.
"What is this fancy gizmo you're speaking int-"
"See Phoenix?!"
Someone knocked on the door.
Nick opened the door. Phoenix darted into the room and saw the ponies waiting patiently.
"They ARE real!" Phoenix squealed in Nick's ear.
"What are you talking about?"
"My Little Pony!"
"What?"
"You never heard of My Little Pony???? What universe were YOU in? My Little Pony is the BEST SHOW EVER!"
"You like a show....for little girls?"
"No. It's not for little girls. It's for EVERYBODY. Can I take one home, PLEEEEAASE?????"
"Fine, one less pony to take care of."
Phoenix sped to the room and relaxed. He tried to act cool.
"So.....I find you guys awesome."
Twilight Sparkle looked flattered.
"Um...thanks."
"Nick, my bud here, is too lazy to take care of you guys, so I'm gonna take one of you with me. Rainbow Dash!"
"What?? How do you know my name???"
"Doesn't matter. I want you to come home with me."
Rainbow Dash smiled.
"People love me already!" she boasted.
"Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna be out chillin with this kid."
"Ever heard of Sonic Youth?" Phoenix asked Rainbow Dash as they left.
"What now, Nick?" Twilight asked.
"I'll call the others. They'll all take you guys home. I have to find out what's going on here."
Day 4
Nick's friends sat in a field in Clinton they hang out in often.
"What do you need us for?" Jennifer wondered.
Nick sighed and announced, "Behold! Free ponies for all of you!"
The four remaining ponies trotted in front of him.
"There's MORE??" Pinkie Pie looked surprised.
Jennifer, Amy and Harry screamed in pure joy.
They ran and hugged and mingled with their favorite characters.
"It's so nice to meet you Applejack!" Harry had tears in his eyes. "You are my hero!"
"Nice to meet you too!" Applejack said with a chuckle.
Jennifer pet Rarity's mane, complimenting on how soft it was. Amy was mingling with Pinkie Pie. Lucy sat alone. Pinkie Pie took notice.
"Are you okay?" She kindly asked.
"No. Who the hell are you?"
Lucy, like Nick, was not a brony, so she didn't know who the ponies were.
"I'm Pinkie Pie! You don't seem very happy."
"I'm fine, really."
"I don't think so. I think you should hang out with me. I know how to brighten up your day!"
Lucy stood up.
"Just stop being annoying."
"Annoying? I'm not being annoying. I'm being Pinkie Pie!"
Lucy sighed.
Twilight Sparkle looked at Nick.
"Nick.....why doesn't Lucy know about us, but the others do?"
Nick couldn't let the ponies know that they're a television show, so he made up a lie.
"I told everybody but Lucy. She doesn't have a phone."
"But you didn't know our names unti-"
"ALRIGHT GUYS!"
Nick didn't want to discuss this to Twilight.
"All of you guys satisfied?"
His friends nodded.
"Then you will be with one pony each. I guess I'm stuck with Twilight."
"But Nick. I don't have a pony to-"
Nick couldn't hear Amy's objection.
"Um, Nick...." Twilight Sparkle nudged Nick.
"What is it?"
"Amy's asking you something."
"What is it?"
"I don't have a pony."
"That's too bad. There was a Funner Pie-"
"FLUTTERSHY."
"Fluttershy, but she's gone."
Amy groaned.
"But Fluttershy is the best!"
Twilight Sparkle sighed.
Nick felt like he was surrounded by little girls, complete with the one who cries because she doesn't have what the others do. But it was Amy, so Nick kept his mouth shut.
"Amy, she disappeared when we arrived. She can be anywhere on the island."
"Will she be okay?"
"I don't know. I'm sorry."
Nick shivered at the thought of one of those cute ponies dead in the middle of a world of complete monsters. He felt his eyes water.
"You guys can go home now. Come on Twilight,"
Twilight Sparkle left with Nick.
"We're awfully popular for ponies your friends don't know."
"We're.....very welcoming."
Nick kept walking, avoiding Twilight's eye contact.
Nick turned in bed. Twilight woke him up.
"What is it?"
"I'm thirsty."
"There's a hose in our backyard."
Twilight left. Nick fell back to sleep.
"Nick."
Nick woke up.
"Yeah?"
"I'm hungry."
"Fetch some grass from our backyard."
Twilight left. Nick fell asleep.
"Nick."
"Whaaaaat."
"I have to use the restroom."
"Go to the neighbor's backyard."
"You have everything but the kitchen sink in the backyard!"
"Actually I have one of those in the old tool shed next to the water hose."
Twilight groaned and left. Nick fell to sleep.
"Nick."
"Do everything you need WITHOUT waking me up, please!"
"But I can't sleep."
"I can't either with your constant-"
"It's Fluttershy."
Nick looked at Twilight.
"I can't do much about that."
Twilight's voice got a bit shaky.
"I don't want to lose her."
Nick didn't know who Fluttershy was. She sounded nice. But he hoped she wasn't a jerk like Rainbow Dash. Whiny like Rarity, annoying like Pinkie Pie, or overly worried like Twilight. But there's something about the ponies that he liked. He decided to do some research on My Little Pony when Twilight wasn't around.
