“Ugh… my head.” Tara said as she slowly got up “Ow, why does my head hurt?”
Lauren and Luna both turned their heads to Tara, “Oh good, you’re awake.” Lauren said with a grin. “So now do you believe that this is Luna, or does she have to show you something else?”
“No, no… that’s fine, I get it. It’s just a little hard for me to process this right away…”
“There’s actually one thing I’ve been wondering though, Luna.” Lauren said “How were you able to use your magic without your horn?”
“I am not sure exactly. It just felt natural to me.” This body is going to take some time to get used to. But it doesn’t seem too difficult. Well as long as mother is here to help, I should be fine.
“Hmm… I wonder.” Lauren said to herself out loud.
“What’s up?” Tara asked.
“Huh? Oh, just thinking about some stuff.”
“Like what?”
“Well… since Luna is still able to use magic, then maybe I could still use mine.”
“Use yours…?”
“Well I would imagine it should still be possible for you mother.” Luna said looking around the room with awe.
Lauren then focused on the same coffee mug that Luna levitated earlier Just focus Lauren. Imagine that I have a horn. Let it come naturally. And just as Lauren hoped, a white aura formed around the mug. She then levitated it in the air. “T-Tara!”
“What’s wro-…”Tara was cut off when she saw the floating mug. “H-…how are you doing that!?”
Lauren placed the mug on the table again “Well, when I was sent to Equestria, I was changed into an Alicorn… more specific, the Alicorn that I created…” Lauren then sighed in disappointment. “If only I didn’t think of that Alicorn; this wouldn’t be happening right now.”
“Mother, please do not strain yourself like this. It was not your intension for this to happen.”
“But it’s still my fault, Luna… I have to find a way to stop Faust once and for all.”
“Well you don’t have to do this alone you know.” Tara said walking up to Lauren “Heck, if you could learn magic, then maybe it’s possible for others to learn it too.”
“I don’t think it works that way Tara Strong…” Luna cut in. “The reason Lauren is able to use her magic now is because of her past experiences in Equestria. As I recall, Twilight Sparkle was the one who helped you, was she not?”
“Yeah…” Lauren said looking down. “I hope that she’s doing alright… she was such a great friend to me when I met her.”
“Heh, meeting Twilight Sparkle.” Tara said “What was your first reaction?”
“Well, better than your reaction when you met Luna.” Lauren joked.
“Very funny…” Tara mused.
Luna then walked around the room again while Tara and Lauren were talking So many things here are a mystery to me, but so many things are also the same. It’s amazing! Wait… what’s this? Luna thought to herself as she walked up to Lauren’s laptop. “Mother, what is this?”
Both Lauren and Tara turned to Luna and saw that she was near the computer. “…Tara I think you should go to the other room for a little bit."
“What’s wrong?”
“Trust me; I think I should be alone with my daughter for this…”
“Oh, alright…” Tara said heading to the other room “Just call me if you need anything.”
After Tara left, Lauren went up to Luna near the computer. “Alright… this is a computer. It allows people to see what they want to see.”
“Mother, why did you have Tara Strong leave?” Lauren remained silent and turned her head. “Does… does this have something to do with these stories? Our stories?” Lauren nodded. “Oh my goodness…” Luna went wide-eyed. “Could you possibly show me?”
Lauren darted her head back at Luna “Are you sure that’s such a good idea?”
“Please mother, I must see with my own eyes!”
Is it really a good idea to show her…? No, she deserves to know about it. “Alright, I’ll show you from where I started…”
Lauren then went on the internet to play one of the episodes; the first episode of ‘Friendship is Magic’ and throughout the episode, Luna stared in awe at what she was witnessing. I really hope that I don’t regret showing her this… Finally after the episode was over, Luna turned back to Lauren with tears in her eyes. “Luna… I am so sorry; I didn’t mean to-…” Lauren was cut off as Luna immediately hugged her again.
“Thank you... for everything mother.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Alright my little ponies, I am sure you are aware of why you are all here.” Princess Celestia stated in front of the six mares.
“You mean the fact that Luna disappeared, or the fact that we just randomly remembered another Alicorn?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Both.”
“Right…”
“Princess Celestia.” Twilight cut in “How are we going to find Luna anyway?”
“I’m not sure…” Celestia grimaced; suddenly a voice could be heard throughout the castle. It was a maniacal laughter that sounded all too familiar to them; mainly Celestia and Twilight. “No, it can’t be!”
“But that’s impossible, I thought Lauren killed her!” Twilight panicked.
“That’s what Lauren said as well…”
Everypony then turned to the source of the voice; it was Faust somehow still alive. “You’re supposed to be dead!” Celestia yelled stomping her hoof.
“Now is that anyway to talk to your mother, Tia?”
“You are NOT my mother! Now tell me what have you done to my sister, you demon!”
“Oh you don’t have to worry about Luna; you should be more worried about yourself. Especially since you have no one here to protect you.” Faust said as her horn glowed, as it did the six element bearers began to disappear before Celestia’s eyes.
“NO! You monster!” Celestia tried to shoot a beam at Faust but… It… It went through her? But how is this possible!?
“What is the matter Tia? You look so confused.” Faust chuckled.
“What are you doing with them??”
“The same thing I did with your sister; keeping them out of my way.” Faust walked up to Celestia slowly “But don’t worry. They should be safe for now… but as for you, well, no one is here to help you now.”
“That’s where you’re wrong.”
“huh?” both Faust and Celestia said in unison as they turned their heads to the source of the voice; it was Twilight’s brother, Shining Armor. “Shining Armor!” Celestia yelled.
“Right, Twilight’s brother…” Faust mused.
“What have you done to my little sister!?” Shining yelled with rage.
But instead of responding, Faust just disappeared before their eyes. “Where did she go!?” Celestia asked panicking as she looked around the room. But as Celestia was looking around the room, an energy beam struck Shining from behind. “NO!”
“Ugh…” Shining said trying to stand. “You coward…”
Faust chuckled “I’m not a coward. I’m merely taking precautions… “
“I’m gonna ask you again… what did you do to my little sister!?”
Again, Faust disappeared, but this time she didn’t come back. “I really hope that they’re ok… Faust… what are you planning!?”
~~~~~~~~~
Man, I still can’t believe this is happening right now. Tara thought to herself Princess Luna is actually here, and I just saw Lauren use magic! What’s next!? And Just as Tara thought things couldn’t get any crazier…
"Ugh… what happened?”
“Well for starters you’re on top of me. Get off Rainbow!”
Tara then turned to the source of the voices and saw six girls, but the one that intrigued Tara the most was the purple haired girl with highlights. No way… No it can’t be! Shouldn’t there be some sort of paradox or something!?
“Uh, guys?” The Rainbow haired girl started “What the hay happened to us?”
“W-where are we?” the pink haired girl asked hesitantly.
“And where’s my horn!?” the purple haired girl with highlights asked in a panic sort of tone. “What going on!? Rainbow Dash, do you still have your wings?”
“Yeah” Rainbow checked “They’re fine Twilight, but uh…”
“What’s wrong?” Twilight asked.
“Who is that?” Rainbow pointed at Tara Strong, who is still in shock.
“Oh uh… hello.” Twilight said. “My name is Twilight Sparkle. What’s your name?”
~~~~~~~~~~
“This computer is simply amazing mother.” Luna said playing around with the computer with a little excitement.
“Yeah, just try not to get too excited. If people see you act this way, they’ll think of you as weird or something… well, maybe not. I mean I have friends whose parents still find using the computer confusing.”
“But why would they-…” Luna was cut off.
“AAAHHHH!!!!!”
“What the heck!?” Lauren said in shock.
“Why did Tara Strong just scream?”
“I don’t know, but come on!” Lauren said grabbing Luna. They then ran to the same room that Tara was in. But she did not expect to see who else was there. As Lauren gets a good look at the room, she sees six girls that all look around the same age. Their hair however looked all too familiar to Lauren… and she was happy about that. T-They’re all here... Twilight… Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy; they’re really here! Lauren just giggled. “Wow Tara, I’m surprised that you didn’t faint this time.”
“Not… funny!” Tara yelled in an annoyed tone.
Lauren then looked at Twilight, practically with tears in her eyes. “Uh… Do I know you?” Twilight asked feeling a little uncomfortable.
“Twilight…” Lauren said getting closer to her. Then she pulled her into a tight hug. “I’m so happy to see you again…”
“Again…?” Wait a minute… Twilight thought to herself for a minute her voice… it sounds just like…! “Lauren…?”
Lauren smiled and said “Yes Twilight… it’s me.”
“Lauren!!” everyone shouted in unison pretty much tackle hugging Lauren.
“Easy, easy!” Lauren giggled “That kind of hurts.”
“Oh! Sorry!” Twilight said having everyone get off her. “We’re just so happy to see you.”
“Yeah! Now we can get back to your flying lessons!” Rainbow exclaimed.
“Uh… what?” Tara asked still in shock.
“It’s nothing Tara.” Lauren giggled. “And Rainbow, we can’t do our flying lessons. I don’t have wings in my world.”
“THIS is your world!?” Twilight asked in shock.
“Yup, this is pretty much the planet I was born.” Lauren said, but then she felt a sort of pain on her back. “Ugh…”
“Is something wrong…?” Fluttershy asked.
“I don’t know. All I know is that my back’s been hurting ever since I woke up from that dream.”
“Well let’s have a look then.” Applejack said inspecting Laurens back. She then found the problem. “Well here’s the problem. Your wings aren’t supposed to be in this kinda shirt.”
“My WHAT!?” Lauren yelled. AJ then ripped a couple of holes in Laurens shirt revealing her wings. “Oh... my…”
*THUD*
“Yeah that did it…” Lauren said face palming.
“Jeez, she’s more dramatic than Rarity.” Rainbow said.
“Excuse me…?” Rarity mused.
“Uh… nothing.” Rainbow smiled sheepishly.
“So did she faint before or something?” Pinkie asked.
“Yes, because… well, she saw me.”
Everyone turned to the tall, dark haired girl. “Princess Luna!!” they all shouted.
“Hello everypony. I am so glad to see that you are all ok.” Luna said walking to them.
“You had everyone worried Princess! Twilight went to your room, but when she got there you disappeared. Princess Celestia was ESPECIALLY worried about you! She called all of us to her castle, but then Faust came into the castle and sent everypony but Celestia here and-…” Pinkie Pie was cut off when Luna covered her mouth.
“Wait a minute Pinkie. Did you say FAUST sent you here?” Luna asked.
“Mhm.” Pinkie nodded with her mouth covered. Luna uncovered her mouth.
Luna sighed. “What could she possibly be trying to do!?”
“I have a theory…” Lauren spoke out. “But I’m not going to say it unless I am 100% sure about this.”
“What theory?” Twilight asked.
“Don’t worry about. Just something that I have to think about.”
“Alright, If you say so…” Twilight said with a little concern. “Now, can you tell me who THAT is?” Twilight asked pointing at Tara still on the ground.
“Oh, that’s my friend Tara Strong… as you can see she can’t talk at the moment.”
“I’m sorry; we didn’t mean to surprise her like that.” Twilight said apologetically.
“Well, technically she was more surprised when she saw my wings, but it’s ok” Lauren giggled.
“When she screamed, she sounded a lot like…” Twilight paused.
“You?” Lauren asked.
Twilight looked up at Lauren a little surprised. “Yeah. How did you know?”
“Well… you remember when I told you about your lives being part of my story?”
“How could we forget…? I still find it a little hard to believe.”
“Well, she sort of has something to do with the story.”
“What do you mean?”
Lauren then began to explain everything about the show; the voice actors, how popular the show is to everyone, and of course who Tara Strong voiced. Twilight couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed by the information. After, Lauren showed them the same episode of the show that Luna saw. Everypony, including Pinkie Pie, just sat there and watched the whole thing with awe. I hope this doesn’t change anything now that they know… After the episode was over, Applejack was the first to speak.
“A-…ah can’t believe this… Everypony here knows who we are and what we’re like just from watching this!”
“I think it’s pretty cool actually.” Rainbow said. “Ponies here can see how awesome I can be.”
“Don’t forget how boastful you can be.” AJ said with an annoyed look.
“Yeah, well who asked you?”
“So, how far does this show?” Twilight asked.
“What do you mean?” Lauren asked back.
“I mean, what was the last thing that ponies on this world saw?”
“Oh, well the last thing people saw was the wedding for your brother and Cadence.”
“Oh yeah, I remember that!” Pinkie exclaimed. “That evil Changeling queen tried to take Twilight’s brother all for herself!”
“Fluttershy, how are you feeling about this?” Lauren asked.
“Um… I-I don’t exactly know how I should feel about this… it’s very surprising to see every one of my friends and myself on here.” Fluttershy said a little nervous as usual.
“Well I for one think that this is a marvelous thing.” Rarity proudly announced. “Others on this world can see the genius of my designs!”
Everyone in the room laughed at what Rarity said… It feels so great to see my friends again… Lauren then looked back at her cream colored wings and realized I’m gonna have a hard time trying to hide these… well, at least I’ll be able to get lessons from Rainbow Dash again. It’s definitely gonna feel weird now that I’m human though… But there’s still one thing that’s bugging me; what is Faust planning to do from bringing them to my world? Celestia… I hope you can handle yourself.
A/N
YAY! They are all there on Earth. But what will happen with Celestia back in Equestria? How long will it take for others on earth to adjust to the ponies (now humans)? How will Lauren hide her wings? Will she learn more Magic? You’ll just have to wait and see! Until then, Unleashed Twilight signing off!
....
Fun with existential crises: in DeiStar's story, the wedding hasn't happened yet/isn't canon, and Twilight quips about Lauren's abilities being powerful enough to give her a brother she doesn't have.
Personally, I disliked that little bit of DeiStar's story. Just because Shiny wasn't mentioned in the show prior to the wedding doesn't mean he doesn't exist. i mean, in those episodes, Twilight lamented not keeping in touch more, a perfectly good explanation. ... Not sure where I'm going with this, so I'll just say I think DeiStar overplayed Lauren's deity status a bit.
First? Huh. That's a first for me.
Wings!
Things are getting interesting.
Normaly i hate fics where ponies become human but this fic is just simpily amazing
I think Tara handled that quite well...
MOAR!
I have mixed feelings about this. You just gave the ponies with wings a set of wings on their human bodies, and just handed them all their magic. I could understand them having some minor magic, like basic levitation, but this seems to be just a bit too convenient.
They're going to use all their magic to go back to Equestria and confront Faust aren't they.
While I like seeing them in the human world, you're pushing things a bit. It just feels like everything is being handed to them and making it way too easy. Perhaps you could take away their powers and stuff. I can't imagine someone as intelligent as Faust just letting them keep their abilities so they can come back to bite her in the ass.
1445482
Thank you very much!
1445534
Well actually Luna isn't even powerful enough to send them back. plus how do you know that they have ALL their magic?
Oh dear, this does no~t bode we~ll!
Awaiting further releases.
1445552 I don't but the wing thing, Lauren suddenly grows a pair of wings. That's a bit hard to swallow. Plus, I know it's going to be Lauren who opens the bridge. You've made it kinda obvious. She's going to write them back into Equestria right?
1445596
Nope
1445613 Good, because that would be too easy. My concern here is that by giving them their powers, it will take away from the potential story by giving them an easy fix. I'm glad to know you are going to make them work for it.
Hey, you know how Earth is. NOTHING comes easy here... unfortunately
When did Tara strong turn into a fainting goat? Wonder whats gonna happen when they step out into the Real World. I'm anticipating an awkward encounter with the brony's.
This was so worth the wait. Now I must wait for more adventures!
I'm just wondering how Lauren's husband will take the fact that she has wings.
but...I...but...I want moar...i...think i need to sit down...and think about what is about to happen...You just dumped all this new information on me and now i need to try and find out about faust plan is...Oh and if Tara ever reads this...she will probably get a good laugh about it.
Did not Wadere D cover how good fic with humanice ponies was with wings and magic?
Did Luna and Shy have their wings? Or only RD?
Well, it's definitely got that same cringe-inducing but also endearing quality, and the writing has been cleaned up a bit. You're still overusing semicolons, though. You've actually used a lot of them in place of where regular colons would be appropriate.
1445849
Yeah, they have wings too
1445641 Ain't that the truth. Murphy's Law sits atop the skyscrapers with an anti-material rifle, just waiting to pick off the unprepared. Adding to that fact, our entire world is basically trying to kill us off each day, and you have one hostile environment. A far cry from the orderly Equestria. Despite all that though, our world is beautiful and unique in its own way, in ways Equestria never will be. I do hope the Ponies turned Humans have a pleasent stay, and that they can see that Earth is not all darkness and gloom, but a host to the myriad shades of gray, that they learn from their visit, and that they return safely. ~With regards, the Current Student of the Second True Magic.
It suddenly occurs to me that Lauren actually has all the cards she needs to beat Faust. You see, Faust has rather stupidly gone into a universe that Lauren completely controls. She can stack the deck any way she likes. She can imagine up whole armies to protect Celestia... heck, she can just make Celestia totally impervious to anything Faust can do due to some metaphysical loophole and drop then Faust into a black hole. The point is, if she writes it, it happens. The only way Faust can fight that is to try to replace Lauren on Earth.
Meanwhile, Lauren is going to have to deal with seven intelligent, curious and mischievous ponies in human form, all of whom want to explore Earth and clearly have most (if not all) of their normal powers. Just stopping Fluttershy doing something aggravating at the city zoo will be hard enough, let alone what Twilight's academic curiosity will do. Then there is Rainbow Dash, the amazing hypersonic woman, Rarity the telekinetic clothier and Applejack the super-strong farm girl. Then there is Pinkie Pie... oh sweet Celestia, there is Pinkie Pie... Does she really want to see what happens when Pinkie Pie ropes the entire population of Vancouver into a rousing performance of "Smile, Smile"? (See the Matthew Broderick movie 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' for some ideas of what that would look like)
i may be an idiot for asking but where does this take place(country,state,city)
It was not your intension for this to happen.
intention
1445645 I can see it...
(Surrounded by a swarm of Bronies) Twilight: "Ugh, I think this is worse than the Changeling invasion. They're so ... touchy-feely."
Super epic, moar now or u die.
1446093 Hmm, Pinkie Pie on a rampage. I've got these images of a bright pink Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man dancing down the main thoroughfare, stepping on people - who somehow aren't hurt - shooting the Party Cannon - well, now a Party Pea-Shooter by comparison - at every building, bridge, airplane (Oh, Celstia, why am I handing these ideas out for free?), dog, cat, firehouse and flagpole along the way.
In the meantime...
School's out, because Twilight has lectured the entire faculty - the ENTIRE faculty - into a coma.
Rarity wanting to hunt down and kill - well, maybe just maim - Coco Chanel ... for practice...
Applejack playing hopscotch from island to island in the vicinity of Vancouver. Just because she can.
Fluttershy gathering all the animals in the British Columbia region for a mass feeding. Winter's how far away?
Dash getting bored, and therefore spending time buzzing every US Air Force installation, especially Area 51, and stealing mothballed planes from the Davis-Mothan AFB boneyard.
The possibilities are endless...

Gah why must this chapter end so soon? :(
Hmmm, perhaps this is the start of humans becoming mages? And then comes the magitek!

Forget that. How long will it take before the entire Brony community starts flooding towards her house?
1446554
...good point

Pinkie Pie ... on earth ... ignoring every law of physics ... and blissfully ignorant of boundries between dimensions. Now all we need to do is wait for Pinkamena to awaken, and armagedon can commence.

FOR AMERICA
With Luna saying Mother constantly, I can't help but picture her as this guy
quizilla.teennick.com/user_images/K/KA/KAD/KadajsMinion/1128660038_67.jpg
But yeah......awesome chapter! I love Tara and the whole fainting thing though i think it would have been awesome if she suddenly started spouting lines that Twilight said...but i digress...awesome chapter!
1446987
SO TRUE!!
S*** gets real...
All this needs is a brony character and this will be perfect.
To be honest I'm torn between liking and hating Lauren and RD having wings. (and finding out Luna had them as well) True it makes sense but it just felt excessive I guess. Anyway it doesn't take anything from the story so I'll just wait and see how things go.
So now actual issue, hiding them wings. A hollowed out backpack would do the trick IMO. And a hat/beret to hide Luna's mystical flowing hair. But considering they have magic why not an illusion spell.
Gaaah while I admittedly have some reservations as to where this is going I honestly just want the next chapter. So many questions.
1446093
I would like to see that happen myself.
1446899
Midair, because she can!
1445479 REALITY CAN BE REWRITTEN. And did you just turn Lauren into an angel?
1446554 lol
1446384 No, magitek is notorious for sudden, catastrophic failures and detonation.
Anything but magitek...
1447238
I found a loop of him saying mother and played it eveyrtime Luna said it...i can say without a doubt i lol'd
MIND BLOWN!
1446987 Funny thing:I watched Last Order yesterday and imagined it with ponies:
Nightmare moon:Mother...I had an epiphany...Let's go to the promised land...
Celestia:Nightmare moon!Why did you destroy the village?Why did you hurt Rarity?Answer me!
1449001
Haha ironic! Fits well to
I can't wait for the next chapter!
1423314 I did and the next thing I know, Faust is back and is being cast as the villain. How is that any different?
1448029
Well now, not always. It just depends on the type of high fantasy you're in.

I'll buy the "Lauren with magic" line, but the wings are complete overkill.
