Chapter 2: Roll
I heard pounding at my door but I barely heard it in my massive freakout.
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh hell no! My Dad’s done it, he’s made an illegal genetic experiment and it’s living in the kitchen. Oh why is this happening to me?!. Any second now, the government's going to be pounding on the door. “Hey, I heard you have an illegal genetic experiment, can we have a look?” “Sure, officers, right this way. You might have to be careful because it can also utilise some sort of telekinesis psychic thing!”
TELEKINESIS.
NOPE.
“You do realise I have a master key, right?!” I heard my father yell from the other side of the door. I heard a mumble from the other side.
The door clicked open. I dove into the covers.
I heard a strange sound, almost like two people were entering the room at the same time. Only, the two people were perfectly synchronised. My eyes widened. That horse-unicorn-wing-thing is in my room!
I nervously peered out of the covers.
A red mane and brilliant emerald eyes filled my vision. I dove back into the covers.
Yep. Right there. My suspicions are confirmed. Unicorns and magic. Sunshine, rainbows and fairy floss! I thought to myself incoherently.
A soft voice broke the silence.
“There’s no need to be afraid," she whispered soothingly. I peered out once again to register a canopy of white suspended around me. I realised they were white feathers. I touched one of them, it was soft…
Amazingly, the canopy did wonders to calm me down.
I took a shuddering breath.
“Okay, my freakout has downgraded from apocalypse to natural disaster," I mumbled, sagging in my bed. The winged unicorn smiled at me.
“I’m glad to hear that, feeling better?” She asked, with a pleased expression.
I nodded slowly. It occurred to me that I had been awfully rude to the nice mythical being.
“My name’s Harmony," I finally offered, giving her a weak smile.
“Queen Tempora,” she replied, “but you may call me Tempora, all my friends do." She placed a... hoof on my head and giving it a light tussle.
The unicorn-horse-thing eased herself off my bed.
“Much as I like to continue our conversation and get to know each other in greater detail, there is much I must do on the other side to begin preparations. Farewell, Harmony," she said, grinning at me. “I hope to see you again, sometime.”
Tempora left the room, closing the door with a click. I let loose a pent-up breath I didn’t know I was holding. Moments later, my door opened again with my Dad leaning against the door frame.
“So, what’d you think?” he asked, although I felt there was a hint of hesitancy in his question.
Well it could have been worse. It could have been the consumptive flesh again.
I gave him a lopsided smirk.
“She’s alright," I answered and Dad’s face brightened. I held up a hand, my expression darkening.
“But she is not Mom," I warned as he shrunk back a bit.
“Of course not," he said gently, sadness flittering across his features.
I swallowed back a pang of regret. Some things should have been left alone. Just as I was about to say something, a small shiver ran through the house. I was almost knocked off my bed. Standing up in a braced position, I glared at my Dad, convinced that anything paranormal from this moment was linked to him and that unicorn-thing.
“What was that?” I asked tentatively.
Dad looked excited. A goddamn yoyo I tell you.
“Isn’t this amazing? We’re going to Equestria!”
“What?!” I choked, my jaw hanging loose. I didn’t get a chance to say more.
Haha, very funny, FAUSTICORN.
5078495 FAAAAAUUUUUUSSSSSSTTTTTIIIIIIICCCCCCOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN.
No Fausticorn = No name.
Simple as.
(I love your name and picture, by the way)
. . . dafuq?
5078495 ...And her sister,Queen Tempura.
...Who name's their son "Harmony"!?
Dude has a girl name... HAHAHAHAHA
With a name like Harmony, no wonder he's a disgruntled little prick of a teenager.
WHERES THE FIRE!? I WAS PROMISED FIRE!
Harnony's dad is almost exactly like mine... I feel for you girl. I feel for you.
I can't tell what's going on but I'm starting to think Harmony's dad is god
(Harmony is a girls name by the way)
at first glance I was this as Queen Tempura
5083320 The same ones that name their boys Sue.
5104437 don't question the name and just roll with it. Besides a guy with a girls name set in the universe of a show for little girls. I lost the right to judge that a looooong time ago.
5083320 Obviously a deranged middle aged brony. *insane laughter*
Who the eff names their son Harmony? No wonder he seems to be pissed all the time
5083320 The kind of person who marries a sentient Pegasus-unicorn-horse -thing.
You know, I think my brain would have rage quit after seeing an a talking winged unicorn. This guy's at least still coherent, sooo I guess he's handling it better than he's letting on.
I must have missed where you said what gender this person is. I THOUGHT it was a guy, until I got a name, and then I wasn't so sure. Props. It's really hard to create a character than can give you a complete mental image of a scene without knowing what gender they are.
I find these too short.

has anybody else thought about how horrifying and ugly ponies in the show would look in real life
6350498 Don't ruin ponies for me. They will always be adorable!
Anyway. Harmony? I mean I get it, making a connection, but his character is becoming less and less clear. Fear not, I am still interested. Just confused.
Also, great, it's Fausticorn. Does this mean we're going to before modern Equestria? And this portal Dad made is what introduced "Harmony" to Equestria? Ha, I get it now . Though I doubt that prediction is correct, since this whole thing is supposed to be a random-ass AU. Ever so slightly more interested .
This dad makes me think of Isshin Shiba mixed with Urahara Kisuke from Bleach. You get crazy parenting and crazy scientist mixed up all in the same person.
Oh god. What have you done?! You've doomed us all!!

Professor Membrane from Invader Zim, with less soul-scarring neglect.
"Be quiet son, I'm making TOAST!"
Don't forget the magical-friendship-rainbow-ray!
Of all names... Harmony?
Now im even more deprest that this got cancelled.... It has a good opening..
