Hi, everypony! Did you see james was talking to us again? He said Rainbow Dash got hit by some kind of magic beam! Maybe it's a beam that sends ponies back in time, then Rainbow Dash could be a little filly again with no memory of what happened and lost alone in the streets of a strange world with nothing but a box to live in unless somepony is kind enough to find her and help her! Oh yea my idea! I just remembered an old pony's tale that if you chant the right rhyme at a smooth body of water, you could find yourself looking into a different world! Maybe there's a way to go to a different world like that, too! Does anypony know where we can find a big enough body of water? It has to be really really smooth with no ripples at all. Oh, and you have to be able to see your reflection in it.
Afternoon Post
After a lengthy conversation in the comments section, we have a way that might get us into Equestria. We're almost there now, and I feel I need to post this before I send them over.
Oh, and PLEASE get Pinkie to tell us the words! If we can't do it with you, (for safety reasons) maybe we could do it separately.
I know you all want to know the words, I understand! But I don't know them! And I have to admit, if I did know them, opening a way for people from here to get into Equestria might not be good for the pony world. We don't even know if it'll work, anyway.
I want all of you to think about this: Do you think Princess Celestia would want a portal opened between our world and their peaceful one? And what about your family? If you just... disappeared. I have to think about both worlds here. Now, I know that's easy for me to say since I'm going to be there when the gateway is opened, and I know it may be selfish of me but... I am in the position to make the judgement call, and in serious contemplation and consideration, my judgement is that it would not be good for anybody to know the words. Not even me.
Wow, I sound like my brother. I have to make a desicion, and this is the one I've made. I feel that if any of you were in position, you'd make the same call.
Okay, we're here. Pinkie's about to try it out.
Oh my gosh, she went into the water and disappeared! Now Fluttershy followed her. That's it. They're gone. The ponies have left this world and are in Equestria.
mmmmmmmm... I think the portal's still open...
sh-should I--? No, I can't do that to my family. Not after what happened with James. Plus, I just spent all that time refusing to let you go...
But my brother needs me! I can't let him fight alone! no yes no yes no yes AGH! That's it--I'm going in! But there's a huge war going on, I might not be coming back... my staying might be James' only hope of ever getting back here!
I... I don't know! Guys, what should I do? Should I go or stay? James will be able to still contact you like before, so you won't be cut off if I go... but my family will. But James needs my help! You've all helped me and my brother so much, I trust you're in better condition to make the desicion than I am so I'll leave it up to you: Do I go or stay?
One more post
That's it--I'm going. I don't know how much longer I can wait.
Uh-oh... guys, the clouds just turned black... not like a raincloud, I mean pure black like patches of darkness. That means... he's thinking of... oh no...
I'm going in. Talk to you later I hope. Wish me luck.
Oh, um, guys, this post is by Pinkie. She said she had a really great idea pop into her head, but wouldn't tell me unless I let her post it herself.
Maybe an empty swimming pool? Or kiddie pool? Of course you would probably call it a filly pool.
3388049 What's a filly pool? Is it like a movable swimming hole? They have those here?!
3388070 What kind of chant? Any kind of explicit words we had to use or any special ingredients or time?
Are you sure Rainbow was transported somewhere, I would think that he brainwashed her again, that would make more sense in my opinion. But if you know that she was teleported to another place, do you have any information where? This place is rather big, if we knew on which part of the world she is, that would really help.
And my post for Pinkie is as following:
Hi Pinkie, it´s nice to finally be able to speak with you, I hope when this is all over we can meet in person/pony and be best friends forever *smile*.
To answer your questions:
- In my heart I think of myself as an unicorn but currently I am the same creature as James and Sahrah a human being. So I dont have, as far as I know any active magical abilities.
- I am rather good at organisating, find soloutions, find patterns where others only see chaos, I have a rather good memory, I can be ofen random, I am absolutly loyal to my friends and I absolutly love to make new friends *smile*
- I fear I never learned any instruments, I would love to learn to play some instruments but there is no one that could teach me. Maybe you could change that
How do you feel? I hope you and Fluttershy are not scared, that would make me soooo sad and I would have no other choice to make sure you both find your smile again, I would make you both a hot choclate, we could both bake chim chinga changas, chocolate muffins and of course an apel/vanilla cake with hot sauce, that would be really fun and even better we could go to a picnic with Fluttershy, Sahrah, James, Twilight and all the others that would really be the best.
So that we can do all this I need to ask you a question. I know your memory is at the moment a little flubbely wubbely and that is ok, I will try anything I can do to help you thrue this. So now the question.
Do you know how you were able to travel so fast to the place were you removed the video from James and Fluttershy? Did you maybe use some kind of shortcut? Maybe you travelled thrue some kind of mirror to reach every place you want to reach? If this is the case you could possible find a way, by using this shortcuts to reach James and the others. I hope my sugestion can help you. I really wish you were here, I would, if you would allow it of course, like to hug you and be your and Fluttershy´s, James, Sahrah and all the others friend.
Your bestes best friend forever end ever to go and even longer to stay and at your side (did I use the word forever?) forever chocolate ice cream eating best friend now and forever ....euuupp forever, you read this right(You dont believe it? Than come over here and make yourself ready to get cuddled so much that it will go in the history of all that is cuddly and wuddly. So you now believe me ...... good, I thought so) friend forever
Night Heart
3388089 No, silly, if I want to get somewhere, I just run! Or sometimes I hang from the roof if I don't want to be spotted. Getting rid of those videos was easy! And I totally LOVE picnics! After we beat this big meanie pony we should totally hang out! What kind of sandwiches do you like? You can't have a picnic without sandwiches and lemonade Wait! I'm getting ahead of myself my friends are in danger! I have to find a clear body of water and say the magic words before the sun goes down! And I'm going to need a tuba. The pony's tale doesn't say that, but it couldn't hurt, right? Oh, where am I going to find a tuba?! I can't stay here I have to go!
...um, I guess I'll hit "add comment" for her. She's, uh, gone. Wait, she's back. Where on earth did she get that tuba?!
Everypony, this is of the utmost importance, do any of you know how to play a tuba?!
Pinkie, YOU know how to play a tuba!
Oh yea, haha! But the hard part is finding the perfect body of water! It has to be perfect for the magic words to work!
3388152 Sahrah could you say me the generl region where you live, so I could search for a water body that is near you.
I have one question, how big must the body of water be? Wouldn´t be a bathtub big enough?
What are the magic words? Maybe we can go with you thrue te portal. What exactly is the old pony's tale, how does it go?
We really want to help you.
3388070 yes pinkie, it is a portable swimming hole about 3-4 hands deep and 15-18 hands wide. Would that work for the chant?
3388174 I think so. It just has to be clean, undisturbed water that you can see your reflection in.
How do you remember all this about a fairy tale but not anything about where you live? You know, what? I'm done questioning your logic. But if no one can see you and a camera doesn't pick you up, how do you know you'll be able to see your reflection?
Now you sound loco in the coco! Of COURSE my reflection will be there! Why wouldn't it?
Okay, so what are the magic words?
Oh, um... I FORGOT!
3388200
Oh wait! I remember! But I have to go get this tuba cleaned. A dirty tuba is bad luck.
Aaaand she's gone again. Anything you want to say, Fluttershy? No? I'm sure they'd like to talk to you. I'll even type it up for you. You sure? Okay.
3388165 Hey, it's Sarah. Um... I don't want to say EXACTLY where I live, because, you know. But I'll say it's in North Carolina near the east coast.
3388209 Thanks that is what I needed, is any of the following near your place:
Pamlico Sound, Albemarle Sound, Currituck Sound, Lake Gaston, High Rock Lake, Lake Norman, Falls Lake, B. Everett Jordan Lake, Lake Waccamaw
3388222 Thanks, I'll look into that right now. Everyone else, comment if you want, but I need to focus on controling Pinkie enough to decide which of these places is best. James, we're coming for you!
3388246 Is there anything else we can do? Do you know what are the words Pinkie has talked about?
3388152 To answer you question Pinkie, I love sandwitches with all kind of lettuce, chees, honey, salt, pepper and dont forget the curry powder *yummy*.
I hope all goes well, Pinkie if you know something we can do to help you, please ask us.
If you want, we could also try your chant to follow you, I for my part would do it on the spot.
3388209 Wait, near the east coast! I actually live near there, but a bit farther west. Oh, and PLEASE get Pinkie to tell us the words! If we can't do it with you, (for safety reasons) maybe we could do it separately. There's a pond near my house, I could use that.
I can reach a sea within a few minutes, I hope it is not a problem that it is night at my place. Or does the chant only work with sunlight?
If possible please tell us this words, we all want to help you. I for my part feel rather helpless here, all alone an ocean and continent away from you. As Evedawalrus said, we can do this seperatly and follow you, if you want. You could, if you dont want to write the chant in the comments send us a personal message.
3388437 I don't know them! Pinkie won't tell me. It would be a great advantage to have a potential tactician over there for sure, but I can't just post it online for the world to see and use. People would be disappearing everywhere and Equestria would be thrown into chaos, so I'd have to PM you instead. We're on our way to the nearest location. We're on our way, James! Please let us appear close to him!
3388532 Please do so, and any other one you can trust. As soon as I got the chant and the ritual that is needed, and any extent necessary things i need for the chant I will be on my way.
Edited and added onto the last chapter (it says 2 posts now)
It's up to you.
As you have written it was your call to decide if you want us also to go to Equestria.
I understand you reasons, yes I do, and now comes the great BUT we all know that the ponies dont have any knowlege how to fight, there live consisted of order and peace. I dont know if they will be able to survice long periods of time in the wilderness. As we have seen a direct attack will not work on Stormcloud, it is even possible that there is a spy under the ponies.
We humans have no strong natural wapons, no claws, no sharp teeth, no poison. But we are adaptable, we can align our selfes within a short time to any given situation and that is what I fear is the thing that the ponies dont have.
You need to think of the environment, everything is ordererd, there cutie mark for example shows them what it´s what is there calling, what it is that they can do the best and the thing they love the most.
It was never necessary for them to adapt, to change themselfs, to find other way than the thing that is directly ahead of them.
That was the reason why I sugested as a fest chosen one follow Pinkie and Fluttershy.
Regarding your concerns:
1) Celestia: I for my part despise every kind of conflict and I am a pacifist, I only fight if it my live is in danger or someone that is close to me is in danger. You can shout at me, call me names and the only thing you will get from me is a peaceful answer and a smile. If Celestia and Luna are only 1% as wise as I think, they will know that I would only want to protect there subjects. I dont want to go to Equestia for an advanture, or to find money, power or fame or something that silly. That are things that I never had any interest in and will never have, this things are meaningless to me. And as I already said, I am sure that Celestia and Luna would see that. The only thing that I always wanted to find in my live was a way to help others to find there way to the future. To show them what other ways are out there. That is my reason to be and all I am. I paid a high price for that, but I still stand by my ideals and nothing ever can change that.
2) Family/Friends: As I already said, I paid a high price for the things I stand for, I will not go in any specifics now, that would take to long and hurt to much. Lets just say there are not really anyone who waits for me. The people that there are, know that if I would find a way for a new start, I would leave a message and be on my way.
SO in my opinion I would have sugested to you to discuss you decision with the people you were concidering to follow to gather information before you take action. I alway say think twies before you make one mistake. I really think a few chosen ones of us that can really help are better than fight alone against Stormcloud.
Regarding your question if you should follow, I dont think that would be a good idea. Firstly you are the only one the lifes in the area and knows what is happening. You are the only one that could inform if necessary to inform your parents and the authorities. Secondly you are the one that can inform us any contextual of what is happening between you, James and the place where you live.
As I already said, in the end it is your decision, we all will do what we can to help you and stand with you, but you also have to live with the consequences of you decission.
Welp, she's gone. Now there's only us...
Has anyone got information about how to open the portal? I fear I got nothing. And as already stated I dont think for her to go was a really good idea *sigh*.
3389004
Please tell me there is something good out there or something we can do to help. I understand her decision, she wants to help her brother, that literally means anything to her, and take the reigns of her own live. I just wish she would have discussed it more with us.Now we stand here and can do nothing but wait and hope that anything turns out fine and that tommorow North Carolina still stands.
Whelp I wish her any luck there is. I dont know if I will be able to sleep but I will try. If any of you receives any information please let me know I will do the same to you. No mater how small or insignificant you think it is pleas let me know I will further try to act as the one that collects any information, organize them and forward them to you,bronies and pegasisters.
I wish you a good night, may harmony and peace be at your side *bow*
3389203 Yes english is not my first language, and I meant twice, that was an error on my side.
Yes I know that in that situation she had not many choices, but she has nothing left for us, so she and James are on there own. No backup and no way back.
I just .... ok, I am just afraid that just something will happen to them and there is nothing I or anyone can do about it. I really dislike the feeling not to be able to help. Sorry if I sound sometimes a little flustered, I am just concerned about them. I dont want that anything happens to them.
I am off know, bye
3389107 The thing is... I live in North Carolina. I'm suddenly scared......
3390157 Well it's night now, but I'll go look.
EDIT: I didn't see any, just stars. I think that's a good sign.
3390342 Um, when was the update?
Well... We're doomed.
3390807 Right now we're okay, but just wait until you-know-who comes after us.
3390871 I hope it doesn't get to that point, or rather here.
3390903 Things do seem to be resolved much more quickly there. Oh well. All we can do is wait.
3390931 Ouch. I've been running on somewhere between 3-4 hours of sleep every night this week so far.
3389351 Hello all, and thanks for you kind words Golden Morningstar. I feel a little better now. But you also should get some sleep, it is not good to any of us when you get ill. So pleas at least try to sleep a little, ok?
