TCB: Not Without My Cat - StormLuna



Time is running short before Equestria consumes the earth and wipes out man kind. Storm had been a denier for years but when the time finally came, he refused to convert unless he could take his cat with him.

Arrival in Equestria

Once the three got outside, Celestia pointed her wing to the west and said, "Alright, to get there we are going to have to run...." she paused for a minute, grabbed them in her aura, took flight and continued, "actually to get to where I want us to go, we will have to fly."

Storm asked, "Why do we have to fly?"

Celestia pointed towards the tallest building in the city and said, "You see that building, it is known as the cash register building. That is where the barrier will close." She noticed that they were about to ask something else and continued, "There is no particular reason but I think it would be best if we were all in the same place when it closes, that way we'll all wind up in the same place in Equestria."

They all nodded and Celestia grabbed them in her aura and took off. Out of all of them Shadow seemed to be the most distraught and began to meow loudly. This did concern Storm as he did not want his cat bolting when they landed on the top of the building. When they landed and Celestia released them. Almost immediately Shadow got off of his back and began to bolt. Storm yelled, "Shadow, no!"

He began to panic and despite never having used it or even knowing how to use it, Storm grabbed him in his aura and levitated him onto his back. He turned back to him and said, "Shadow, you can't do that. You could have fell to your death."

After releasing him from his hold, Shadow began to rub his face against his neck and meow happily. When Celestia saw this, she was in a state of shock. She gasped, "Storm, how did you do that? You've never even had a chance to study using magic, much less actually use it!"

Storm replied, "Well I went into a panic and envisioned grabbing him in an aura and saving him. I don't know why but that is what my instincts told me to do."

Celestia gave him a smile and said, "You know, I have a feeling that magic school isn't going to be all that difficult for you. I have a feeling you'll probably get those metal working spells down pretty quick."

Dr. Jorgensen then asked, "What about me and Amy, do you think we'll get what we need to know down rather quickly?"

Celestia replied, "We'll see. Magic for typing is rather easy and basic medical magic isn't hard but surgical magic is much more difficult although I'm sure you'll all get everything down since you had the special serum I created."

The three began to cheer before going silent. They then began to look at their surroundings for one last time before they would be transported to their new home. Nearly three hours later, they saw a circular formation that was black and yellow in color approaching. The first thing they saw vanish were the mountains to the west. Storm asked, "Is that it, is that the barrier moving in?"

Celestia looked around and saw the same thing approaching from all around them and replied, "Yes, your time is almost here. The earth is now in its final moments."

The three newfoals watched in anticipation as they began to see the city being consumed by the barrier and when it began to move faster as there was only one mile in each direction remaining, they began to cheer. It wasn't even twenty seconds after that until the barriers met. When they did, a great shock wave radiated out and destroyed the earth.


The next thing Celestia, the newfoals and Shadow knew, they were in the throne room in Canterlot. Storm looked around and asked, "Princess Celestia, I take it this is where you rule from?"

Celestia replied, "Yes, it is. This is my throne room."

Amy asked, "So now what? Are you going to give us instructions on what to do next?"

Dr. Jorgensen added, "And where are we going to live?"

Storm finished, "And most importantly, is Shadow going to be able to stay with me? Him being able to come to Equestria is the only reason I agreed to conversion after all."

Celestia gave them a smile and replied, "Don't worry. I will take the three of you to the magic school where you will be assigned dorms for the students" she then turned to Storm and added, "And yes Shadow can stay with you! You're not the only unicorn that brought a pet!" Celestia headed towards the exit and finished, "Follow me, the time has come for you to begin your new lives as Equestrians."

For so long, when Storm very first heard about the anomaly, the barrier and even saw Princess Celestia on the TV, he thought it was all nothing more than computer generated material created by the government to control people and now here he was, a unicorn in Equestria heading off to start his new life. One thing he did know though was that life would likely be easier. As they were exiting the throne room he thought to himself, "Having magic is going to make life so much easier!"

You're a cat person too I take it? I would have used an image of my miniature panther but I thought that might bring about bad luck to her. Yes I know it sounds silly and weird but when it comes to her, I am very superstitious.

Its not the worst story I read and I can appreciate the love behind ir

I wanted to add a touch of myself into it. I would wind up being the same way with my cat.

Same.... Cats are love. Cats are life. :heart: :pinkiehappy:

Hmm... The fact that the Equestrians couldn’t stop the barrier with their magic is rather concerning from a reader’s point of view, but in the story, everything makes sense. Seems like it’s a more wholesome version of the general TCB plotline.

Now, if only I could take all my dogs with me...

Well I wanted the guy's cat to be equally as important as everything else in the story. To be honest, I wrote Storm to be a lot like me because I'd be the same way with my cat. I basically wanted this to be a story that all people who love their pets could relate with.

Yes they are!

I would be the same. All of my family and our three cats would be coming with me.

Is that not your panther then? If it isn't, use your panther. Black cats aren't bad luck, they're good luck. The rumours were spread that black cats are bad luck because the people who had them wanted the lucky cats all to themselves.

That isn't my miniature panther. I did not use her image because I am superstitious about sharing her picture on here. I don't know why, I just am.

10353029
That's ok. I just would have LOVED to see your panther.

Alright, I changed it to my miniature panther, her name is Mystique and she is currently 18 years old.
