Hehehehe... :) You've met with a terrible fate, Reader, haven't you?
Ok, it's just not funny anymore. Hello, I'm Ben, and you probably heard of me. Yes, I'm the 'BEN' who haunted the Internet guy, Jadusable, but I gotta some fun, right?
Right?
Anyways, I'm here to tell you about my time in the evil, no good, dreaded Equestria. Saying the name just gives the shivers. Geez.
So it all started 4 years ago. I was stuck for about that long, so I don't see why your laughing. Anyways, the first second I was there, all I knew is that I was in some sort of forest, so I stepped off my pedestal and took off the smile, just so I could look around.
The whole thing looked much more greatly animated than Majora's Mask, but it was very cartoonish, which made me gag. I looked at my hand, which was about as well animated as the area around me, so I suspected I was in a very good Zelda game, though I am gonna miss that salesman. Good friend, I say.
Anyways, I heard something coming towards me so I ran back to my pedestal and put back my trademark smile. A figure emerged from the shadows, only for me to see a strange-looking zebra approach me. What surprised me is that it could talk, but it only talked in rhymes.
It said something about warning this place called 'Ponyville' about something, but I hope it wasn't me. It ran back into the forest, as I dematerialized into a thin green gas, and followed the zebra. Soon, it galloped into a HUGE opening, and kept going towards a small town that seemed to be in the middle of the opening, so I suspected this is Ponyville.
So I followed the strange zebra towards the little town of Ponyville, which was possibly the worst idea I've ever had in my afterlife. The whole entire town looked all too childish, but the worst part was that it was literally FILLED with multi-colored ponies and unicorns and pegasi.
I thought I was having serious mental problems and I'm having visions, but I'm dead already, so that wouldn't be possible. Thinking about it, that world would be more likely for Jeff. Heh heh. Anyways, I had a pretty good idea on my part that would help me take my mind off it.
I flew into one of the alleys and materialized a couple of feet inward, with my amazing smile. The first pony to see me was a pink pony with a crazy mane that's probably never groomed. She was bouncing along until she noticed me, and looked straight at me, but instead of a scream of serious terror, all I got was a giggle.
My idea had went terribly wrong, as the pony walked straight up to me and said "Boy, you suuuuure are scary!"
Plan B. My eyes began to bleed and my eyes rolled into the back of my head. The pony backed up a bit while the only reaction I got was a nervous face and a "Uh..."
Final step. I simply said in a low, demonic voice "Boo." The pony ran down the street at full speed, screaming her head off like "WUAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa..." I simply laughed as I dematerialized and flew up to see where see was running.
She seemed to be running to a hollowed out tree, that apparently was someone's house. I followed her into the treehouse, to find it was actually a library.
The pink pony called out "Twilight! Twilight!"
A lavender unicorn ran down a staircase and asked the pink one "Pinkie, what is it?"
And the pink one was like "Therewasastatuethingyinthealleyandiwalkeduptoitanditmadeascaryfaceanditsaidbooandthen-"
And 'Twilight' said "Pinkie, slow down! What statue?"
And Pinkie was like "It was a weird monster thing! It was wear a green shirt and hat, and brown pants, and-"
And then Twilight asked "You found it in the alley?"
And Pinkie was all like "Yeah!" And they went over explaining about me in the alley and stuff like that.
I laughed in my mind sooooo hard at this! It was just too funny! I bet Jeff would as much fun here as I did!
Suddenly, Twilight asked "Can you show me where you found it?"
I was like "Huh?" And Pinkie said "Yeah, come on!"
They both left the treehouse library to 'go look for me', but they're completely unaware of what I can do. I mean, I have this trick, where I can make only one person see me, and I occasionally use the trick, but when I do, I only use it on insane lunatics.
But anyways, I followed them out the door and retraced from where I came from and flew back to the alley, where they were standing.
Pinkie was all like "I swear it was right here! Its eyes were bleeding and everything!"
Then Twilight said "Pinkie Pie, just because Nightmare Night is tomorrow, doesn't mean you can play scary jokes on me!"
Then Pinkie said "But I wasn't- oh, what's the point? You won't even listen to me."
So Twilight said "Thank you. Now, I'm going to go and sleep, so don't bother me again!"
Nightmare Night? Sounds like a retarded version of Halloween. Though, if that's what it is, this gives me the perfect chance to strike fear into helpless little ponies!
But anyways, back to my pink target. I think I'll use the little trick I explained earlier.So I went up to her and said "Well, Pinkie, it seems your friend isn't listening to you anymore."
She looked at me with a shocked face and said "You! Stay away!"
So I said "Where is the fun in that?"
"I don't care who or what you are, but I'll- what are you anyways?"
She caught me right there, so I was like "I- Uh- wait what?"
And she cracked the code, saying "Aha! You're just trying to scare me!"
Compromised, I said "Alright, you caught me, I surrender."
So Pinkie asked "But like I said, what are you?"
I told the truth, saying "I'm a human, but I'm dead."
She looked shocked when she said "You're... a ghost?"
I was like "Yeah. But listen, I just this great idea for Nightmare Night."
Curious, she asked "What is that idea, exactly?"
I said "I'm going to scare this whole town half to death!"
But then she told me "But what about the princess?"
I was like "What."
And she's like "Yeah, Princess Luna! She hosts Nightmare Night every year!"
Surprised, I said "She does?"
So Pinkie said "Of course! The holiday was made about her, after all."
I tried getting back on track "Really? Well, how about you help me with my little plan?"
I was stalking around the little town in my normal form, trying to see if everything was going as planned.
The plan was that Pinkie, or in this case Pinkamena is going to go around town, unnerving everyone, and when night falls and the holiday begins, I'll go to the graveyard and take one of the dead bodies, appearing as a zombie.
It should get scare factor of 9001/10.
Anyways, I went to check on 'Pinkamena' to see if she was ready.
"Pinkamena, are you ready yet?"
"Almost!"
"Good, then Ultimate Scare Prank will begin shortly."
I flew out of Sugarcube Corner, and took a look around me. All these little ponies are going to fall for excellent plan, and that princess, too!
Pinkamena came out, with her hair flat as plank of wood. This is where it begins
----------
Well, it's almost time for my moment. Just gotta wait for the princess to show up.
Pinkie Pie already took her part in going around town, freaking out everybody. Now they all look like the insane lunatics I mentioned earlier.
That looks like her on her sky chariot. I'm guessing now the plan was perfect, as it looks like from here, they're telling her what happened.
That's my cue. Time to get crackin'.
I hopped into the grave where Pinkie helped me dress the dead pony up to look like me. It took a while, but we managed.
So I managed to dig my way out of the coffin and get to ground level.
I slowly walked into town with a limp, to go along with the plan. They were all still over at the center of town with Princess Luna, so it all went along with the plan.
When I got in range, I started going like "Gruuuuuur. Braaaaaaaaaaains," and with the reaction I wanted, everyone ran in all directions, screaming their heads off. Except for the Princess.
"You can't scare me, though your costume is very well made."
"This isn't a costume."
"It isn't?"
"Yeah. I'm dead, just needed a body for the prank I pulled off... sort of."
"You're a ghost?"
I stepped out of the body, making it fall over "Yup."
"What is your name?"
"Ben."
"And how long has this 'prank' been going?"
"Since this morning."
"Did anypony notice you?"
"Only Pinkie. She was the one to help me unnerve everybody."
"Is that so, Ben?"
By now, ponies began to slowly come out "Yes. I apologize though if I upset you."
"It's alright."
She looked at where the crowd ran "Don't worry everypony! The problem has been resolved!"
As all the ponies came out from their hiding places, Luna looked straight at me.
I was apologizing to everyone for the pointless prank I pulled off. Even Pinkie Pie had to apologize for of course helping me. All of the ponies started to get back to their holiday, putting on costumes and doing their trick-or-treating.
"Well, sorry Luna. About that-"
"Apology accepted."
"I'm sorry, too. Hey, can I go trick-or-treating now?"
"Go ahead."
"Yay!"
Pinkie Pie ran off, and Luna looked back at me. Yet I spoke first.
"So what about me?"
"Hmm..."
She stood there and looked down, thinking. Then she looked back at me.
"When I leave, you will come with me. Me and my sister will decide what we'll do with you."
"So I have a night of freedom?"
"Well, I guess-"
"Sweet!"
I turned around and ran down the street, leaving a dumbfounded princess behind. So I have one night of freedom now, huh?
I was walking around a little bit, watching all of them in their costumes, going up to doors and saying "trick or treat!" This somewhat reminded me of something.
"...and as you fight to say alive..."
It seemed to be familiar... So familiar...
"...your body starts to shiver..."
Like it was right at the tip of my brain...
"...for no mere mortal can resist..."
Like... Wait...
"...the Evil of the Thriller."
...
Good idea.
I watched that music video literally hundreds of times before. And thinking about it, I remember the whole dance. Maybe somewhere along the street, I can do the Thriller dance. I may make a fool outta myself, but just maybe.
Just maybe.
-----------
Alright, I need to find a good spot on the street. Hmm...
*zing!*
Oh my god, I didn't think I could make a boom box come outta nowhere! I can do anything, can't I?
*zing!*
Got the tape, and that proves I can.
Ok, back to the street.
Lets get this party going.
13 MINUTES LATER
As the song ended, I fell over on the ground, like I was just shot. The entire crowd around me gave a big applause, as I whisked up from the ground, giving a bunch of bows and "thank you"s.
I guess I did good.
"Ben, it's time."
I looked over to see a split in the crowd, where Luna was standing.
"Coming!"
I snapped my fingers, making the boom box disappear, and ran over to Luna and followed her to her chariot.
It took a little bit to get to the castle, but we finally got there. The place was humongous! It covered probably half the entire town!
"This way."
We walked through the halls for what seemed like forever, until Luna stopped in front of a large pair of doors, with suns painted on each one. She quietly opened a door and poked her head in.
"Sister, are you awake?"
A more mature came from inside "Yes. Come in."
She motioned her head for me to follow her, and we both stepped in the room. There was a pony like Luna, only she was taller, she was white, and the mark on her rump was instead a sun. Oh, did I mentioned her crown was huge?
"Who is this you have brought?"
"He calls himself Ben, and from what I heard, he is a ghost of a human."
"Human?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"We hadn't any humans in Equestria in about 1042 years!"
Boom.
That's where I was.
I'm in a little show for little girls.
Freckin My Little Pony.
Wait, did she say 42?
"But you see, like she said, I'm a ghost."
She walked up to me and said "If you are a ghost, may I put my hoof through your face?"
Strange question. "Sure. Why not."
She raised a foreleg and attempted to put it through my face, put all I got was a hoof planted in my face.
...
"You lied."
"No I didn't! I swear, the way I died was that I drowned in the ocean after getting knock off the boat!"
"Then how are you solid?"
"Look, I have powers like a ghost, watch," I said as I turned into a green cloud, and back again.
"And I can do this," I said as I whisked a sugar cookie from nowhere, and began to eat it.
I said with a full mouth "Shee? I tol' you."
"Hmm... Luna, may I ask why you brought him here?"
"He had scared the entire town of Ponyville with a 'simple prank', along with the help of the Element of Laughter."
"He did?"
"Yeah... Sorry bout that."
"Hmm... perhaps he should have a second chance."
"What?" "What?"
"Yes, a second chance. But I must put you under watch of my student, Twilight Sparkle, so you cause no more mischief."
Oh, that pony.
"Now that has been settled, I ask you to leave, for I have grown tired."
I'm alive again, AND I still have my ghastly powers.
That's just frickin boss, man.
Anyways, they sent me and a letter to Twilight stating that see has full custody over me.
As if.
Looks like she's waking up.
I've been drawing pictures of Majora all night for no reason, like a 5 year old. Not saying the drawings are that of a 5 year olds, but they're actually expertly drawn.
I wanna see her reaction.
"Ugh, you're still awake?"
"Haven't slept for years, and I'm still alive, so I think it's normal."
"What's with all the drawings, Ben?"
I forgot to tell you about Spike.
Let me tell ya, really bothersome.
"These are all drawings of Majora."
"Who?"
Of course you don't have Legend of Zelda, just let me snap your necks.
Geez.
"Just a character I made up."
"Whatever."
"Hey I was wondering-"
There was suddenly 'somepony' trying to break the frickin door down.
Who pounds that hard on a door? Probably someone who hates doors. Or whoever is out there.
"Hey Twilight! I'm here for the next chapter of Daring Do!"
Oh no. Not her.
Twilight last night told me about all her friends, but I didn't want to meet this one next!
Maybe as last.
"Hold on."
She went to the door and gave the greeting I hoped not to hear.
"Morning, Rainbow Dash! Come right in!"
The rainbow-headed freak trotted into the library, looking around in all directions before looking straight at me.
"What and who is that?"
"Hello to you too, Dashie."
"He is a human, and his name is Ben."
"How long has he been here?"
"I've been on this planet for about 2 days."
24 hours remain.
She looked a me for a moment before going back to the reason she was here.
Did you know ghosts can travel between two dimensions, and can bring anyone with them?
I did that today with Dashie.
So it started after we 'met', if you can even watch and say we did, that she was looking for the next Daring Do book, and I was still thinking about my uber l33t ghost powers, and that's when I remembered that ghost trick I explained above.
Now I remember, that the only way of getting around in there, is flying. Now, if you can't fly, you'd fall through the Void, for the rest of eternity. Luckily, I knew this head-on.
"Hey guys."
They both looked at me with annoyed faces, as suddenly as the green beam that came down from the ceiling, and I simply vanished.
Without warning, I suddenly appeared behind the two ponies, with them looking at me with shocked faces.
You are so gullible.
"What did you do?"
"I stepped over into a different dimension to fly around."
"Flying around in another dimension? Really?"
"Yeah?"
She walked straight up to me, with a smile five times as large as mine.
"Can I come?"
She was serious. She looked as if she was going to explode.
"Sure. Why not."
She did just as I predicted.
"Wait. I need to tell you something important."
She instantly stopped, and appeared right back in front of me.
"Give me your hoof."
She gave me her foreleg, and the green beam slowly came down from the ceiling.
"The thing is," the beam slowly came closer "that if you stop flying, you'll fall for the rest of time itself."
"Yeah, he's a time traveling pony, that pops up here and there. Maybe he's here!"
Great, First a My Little Pony time period, then everyone from Majora's Mask, and now there's a Time Lord in Ponyville!
It just gets stranger every second.
By the way, 2 days have passed, and the moon wants to crash into Canterlot. Twilight had been acting like a insane schizophrenic scientist trying to be killed by a mad A.I..
Until she mentioned the Doctor, of course.
"So what's your plan, that happens to include The Doctor?"
"You know him?"
"He's just a fictional character in my universe."
"That doesn't matter. The plan, by the way, is we are going to travel back in time, and find Majora before Pinkie does."
"What about the salesman?"
"Oh. Him. I didn't think about that."
"Just give me a sharp blade, I'll take care of it."
"Ok then. Now, lets get going, we down have much time!"
Just gotta find 3 meteors to activate the secret song.
*snarl, growl*
Give me a moment.
Ssssssssslish.
*stab, stab, stab*
Still got my trusty kitchen knife.
"Why can't we help?"
"Because then you'd become a midnight snack for the restless!" I said, pointing at the zambees, breaking down the library door.
Wait.
"Crap! Quick, this way! Up the stairs!"
So who do we have here?
Lets see, we got: Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy in the corner, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, The Princesses, and a few other ponies from town.
Some other chose to defend themselves.
Good idea.
"Ben, they broke the door down!"
"Hold on!"
Powers, don't fail me now!
*zing!* *BANG BANG*
A pistol. Glock 17. Sweet.
*sobbing* *BANG BANG BANG*
*click*
5 bullets. Wow.
"Shit! Out the windows!"
The unicorns were teleporting them and the earth ponies out, while the pegasi evacuated out the windows.
I have to tell you that I'll be releasing a completely different story in the future!
You will follow Brake Lavender, the space-bending scientist, and The System, a time-traveling fancy-looking Time Lord in the Red Tardis, as they travel through both universes, picking up and dropping off companions, fighting Daleks and Demons, and saving it all!
First, I get attacked by Majora, then I get a zambee apocalypse 1 week later, and then I get knocked out for another whole week without warning.
Owwww...
"Well, it's good your still alive, right!"
"Twilight, remember back to that week ago, in the library?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"I was eaten alive. I can't really die, you know."
"I... guess."
Right, so anyways, Celestia and Luna have begun fixing every single thing that smashed, destroyed, or left behind. Everyone is completely ok and there were no casualties.
Celestia has also been getting on Luna's case about reading about dark magic.
I think everything is normal in Equestria once again.
I've decided to give away this story. But not without a challenge, first.
If you're reading this right now, go read my blog post "Animate Regenerate", and the very first person to animate Temple of the Daleks will receive this story as a prize.
