A calm breeze was blowing, a couple clouds dotted the sky, the temperature was warm, the birds were singing, and everything was calm. Except for Twilight Sparkle, who was in a clutter and getting anxious. “Oh no! What do I do Spike?” She said sounding worried. “Ugh, Twilight, you get worried over the smallest things sometimes.” “No I don’t. This is serious.” “Twilight, everything will be fine, ok?” “Spike, this is serious. I lost my three enchanted stones.” “Enchanted stones?” inquired Spike “Yes Spike, enchanted stones. I was going to see if I could make an amulet that could help me teleport without all the trouble and effort it takes,” she said, slowly running out of air, almost panting. “Twilight, you’re overreacting.” “I AM NOT SPIKE!” In the middle of their argument Pinkie Pie walked in the door and said, “Hey Twilight, what’s wrong? You missing something?” “I’m kind of busy right now Pinkie - wait. Yes I am missing something have you seen my-” Twilight was cut off by Pinkie Pie. “Three funny looking stones?” Pinkie blurted. “Why yes pinkie! How did you know?” “They’re right underneath you.” Twilight looked down in confusion and to her surprise, they were. “Oh......” Twilight said. “Thanks Pinkie” “No problem. Hey if you’re not busy, why don’t you come down to sugar cube corner with me and Applejack?” the pink pony said. “I’m really sorry pinkie, but I’m really busy right now. I’ll see if I can make it later, ok?” “That’s ok Twilight. If you have time, try and come down later. We’re both hoping you can come.” “I’ll try,” responded Twilight Three hours later after much time and effort being used she had completed it, Twilight was finally done. She looked at her work and was so happy that she completed it, she was almost bouncing up and down at the thought of it being done. Then she realized all that was left was the enchantment of the beautiful pendant. "Darn i forgot Ill do it later" She said to herself It was shaped like a dragon’s tooth, only that it had three rare gemstones in it and it was made of solid platinum. Twilight thought to herself, “I must thank Rarity for the platinum she gave me soon.” The enchantment could wait. She also thought she still needs to spend time with her friends, so she put the necklace down next to the spot where she keeps her quills and paper. She then trotted off into the direction of Sugar cube corner to see her friends. About half an hour had passed since Twilight had left to go and see her friends at sugar cube corner. In carousel boutique, Rarity thought it would be a good idea to go and visit Twilight. Little did she know, Twilight wasn’t there. When Rarity arrived, she hadn’t taken notice that Twilight wasn’t there so she opened the door and walked in. “Twilight. Oh Twilight where are you?” She casually walked around Twilight’s little library looking for Twilight, when she stumbled upon the beautiful necklace. Awe struck, Rarity picked it up with her magic to bring it closer for a better look. She was amazed that Twilight could make such beautiful jewelry. Little did Rarity know this gem was ready to be enchanted. The pendant fizzled in the magic Rarity had conjured and she quickly put it back in its place. Not knowing what was happening to the beautiful necklace, she quickly dusted it off in shock and gently put it on the table, hoping that when Twilight returned she would notice no difference, and quickly dashed off to Carousel Boutique, completely forgetting about her visit to Twilight. Twilight was having a great time with Applejack and Pinkie Pie. There was cake, punch, music, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy came on by too. They all had a great time there while partying but time had passed and it was getting late, The streamers weren't attached to the roof anymore, balloons were deflating and the cake had been eaten. Then Applejack announced, “Sorry y’all, but it’s time for me to be headin’ back to the barn right about now.” “Yeah. I’m sorry Pinkie but I have to go, too. I’m gonna miss the Wonderbolts on Cloudvision if I don’t get home soon,” said Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy also joined in. “I hope it’s ok Pinkie, but I have to tend to my animals back home. I’m really sorry, but I had lots of fun though.” Pinkie Pie replied to them all in a cheerful voice, “It’s ok. We’ll just have to have another party real soon!” At the same time they all said, “Bye,” and they all trotted off to their homes. When Twilight arrived home, she was surprised to see that her pendant had been moved. “Hmmm, that’s strange,” she said out loud. “Whatever. Time to enchant my pendant!” She pulled down a couple of ancient books from the shelf with magic. She then focused her horn at the gem while reading the book. The gem started to float in midair when all the colors of the rainbow flashed out of the necklaces gems. She didn’t expect the magic to be so powerful. Lights started pouring out of the gem. It was so bright, Twilight was sure the light could be seen from canterlot. Electricity started to spark from the necklace and the amulet was glowing red, really red. Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred, and a second light appeared, sucking the gem into it. Twilight tried her hardest to hold onto the gem, but failed. The pendant got sucked in and Twilight fell to the ground in sheer exhaustion and then fell unconscious. Seconds later, all of ponyville was up at Twilight’s library. The Mayor called out, “Is anypony in there?” No response. “I said is anypony in there?” Out of the crowd, Applejack bolted into the ruined library. “Twi? Twi? You in here?” A small moaning nose was coming from a large pile of books . Applejack bucked the books off and saw Twilight under the pile with a broken hind leg, but still alive. There was fire burning and alot of rubble from the burnt down tree Applejack looked around sorrowfully before finding Twilight. “C’mon sugar cube. We need to get you out of here,” she said quietly, lifting Twilight up and walking out of the destroyed library. Stumbling towards the door Applejack looked back and gazed jeez back to building this again.When she felt movement on her back. Twilight said, “Thanks Applejack” coughing quietly before falling unconscious again. A week later, all of Twilight’s friends were surrounding her bed. Twilight awoke groggily. “Ugh....where am I?” she asked, dazed and confused . “You’re in the hospital silly,” said Pinkie Pie. “I’m where?” Realization hit Twilight. “OH NO THE PENDANT!” she yelled, startling everypony . ”What pendant, sugar cube?,when I was in there ah couldn't find anythang” replied Applejack . Twilight tried to hop out of her bed before seeing her hind leg was broken. “OW!” she cried. “You just need rest darling,” said Rarity. Reassuringly, Fluttershy agreed “So what happened in there?” Rainbow dash inquired. Twilight explained everything, and after she was finished, everypony was in shock. Fluttershy said, “At least you’re ok.” “I suppose you’re right Fluttershy. I just can’t help but wonder. Where did the necklace go?” replied Twilight. End Prologue. I hope you enjoy, see how this turns out > Chapter One > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter one 1800_SCREWED Editid by: SilverShadowThePegasus It’s hot outside. I’m a bully victim; life is tough. Overall, I just don't care anymore. My bus just dropped me off and I started walking home. I’m tired from a long day of school. It’s a short walk home. Nothing I had encountered was anything like I had just experienced today. I got home, walked around to the back, and sighed in relief as I went through the back door. I was finally home. I walked through the archway and stepped over the small gate that kept my little dog from escaping. I wasn't thinking straight. I was too tired, so I just fell in the dirt, bum first. I looked to the sky and yelled. “Why can’t life be simple! Why is life so dull?!” I sobbed there for a second, when I noticed a bolt from the blue. A little speck appeared as if something was falling. I didn't take much notice. SMACK! Dirt was flying everywhere as a red hot piece of jewelry landed right in front of me. I was confused at first. It looked nice. So I went to pick it up before realizing it was boiling hot. It burned my hand pretty badly. “AAAHHH DAMN IT!” I cried. I sat there for a couple of minutes, waiting for the metal to cool before picking it up. I walked inside with the necklace in my hands, just looking at it. It was beautiful. I had never seen such stones before. I put it around my neck and wore it. "Still warm" I thought. I sat down to turn the T.V. on. Realizing it had been disconnected from the power point, I complained about it let out a sigh before getting up to plug it in. I went to plug it in before my realizing my hand was touching a wire on the inside of the frayed cord. Electricity shot through my body. Pain like I never realized was possible was surging though me. I fell over; shocked and wondering how I was still alive after the ordeal, not noticing the incredible light pulsing out of the three gemstones in the middle of the amulet. Immediately, I took off the amulet and go to touch the gem, forgetting about the electrocution which just occurred; I was focused on the gem. My hand crept towards it. I touched it. Light poured out of the necklace like someone had just shone a torch right in my face. “ARGH!” I cried. Brighter and brighter it glowed. I was temporarily blinded. I couldn't see. Everything was just white. When electricity also poured out of the gems, I heard a large crackling noise, then, KABOOOM! I was gone along with half my house. *Back in Ponyville* KABOOOM! It shook the ground. Every pony turned and looked to see a large explosion like the one they saw two months ago in Twilights library. Everypony gathered in the town’s center. “Can I have everypony’s attention please?” Twilight said into the microphone. “I think a second explosion has been triggered by the Necklace I created.” Everyone looked in shock Lyra spoke up in the crowd. “Will there be any MORE explosions?” “Yeah, they’re interrupting our day,” Bon Bon agreed. “I’m very sorry everypony. I’m sure the explosions will stop. I’m not even sure of how they came to be in the first place,” Twilight said, reddening at the fact she admitted she didn’t know something. *Back to me* I looked around hazily, not feeling quite right, the necklace still around my neck. I could tell I was no longer at home. I seemed to be on the border of what seemed to be a forest. I tried to stand up, but something wasn't right. I couldn't tell what though, I didn’t remember being so close to the ground. I pulled up my hands, and to my realization they weren’t hands but....HOOVES! I panicked at first thinking, "Is this some kind of prank?!” I stood up, realizing I was on all fours trying to stand on two legs. I just fell over. I had also taken notice that I had wings. I was also a Dark blue color with fluorescent blue hair. I was still in shock. Then I looked underneath myself; not only was I a pony, but a mare! I didn't know what to do.. I fainted in shock. End chapter one Once again, any feedback is appreciated. Hope you all enjoyed! Sorry had to do the whole fainting thing XD > Chapter Two > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 Chapter 2 1800_SCREWED Spelling fixes by _OliT_ Grammar and Punctuation fixes done by SilverShadowThePegusus Slightly edited I woke up three-four hours later, unsure of where I was. I looked around, dazed and confused. I heard noises, it sounded like birds and rabbits were around me. I slowly was coming to, becoming more aware of my surroundings. It seemed as though I was in a tiny wooden cottage; I was in a bed and had a blue quilt. I had completely forgotten that I had become a pony, a mare for that matter. When I put my hand in front of my face to scratch my forehead I noticed again. “This must be a dream,” I muttered to myself. I got out of the bed this time on all fours, not just the two I stood up on beforehand. I attempted to walk. It just wasn’t right. It didn’t feel like normal. I ‘trotted’ forward, trying not to fall over. I was doing pretty well, until this little Pegasus pony, yellow with pink hair, startled me. I thought to myself , “Am I really in the land of MLP: FiM? I must be dreaming.” “Oh, hello. I’m sorry if I woke you. You can go back to sleep if you want. I’m sorry,” said the yellow pony. I was in complete awe at the fact I was talking to Fluttershy. I finally replied, “A-are you talking?” “Yes I am. Are you feeling ok?” I nearly fell over at this. “Wha-what’s your name?” “Oh, my name is Fluttershy,” she replied quietly. So it’s true, I realized. I’m in the land of MLP. “What's your name?” Fluttershy asked. “Oh it’s, ummm...” I was at a loss of what to say. I forgot my real name! “Think. Think!” I quickly thought. A name suddenly popped into my head “My name is Crystal, yeah that’s it.” “That’s a very nice name. That means I now have another friend!” she exclaimed still sounding quiet. “Listen. I don’t mean to sound rude or anything, but I need to find information about these explosions. Do you know anywhere I could find such information?” “Please don’t talk about the explosions. They're big, mean, and scary, b-but, T-Twilight would probably have some information.” I was excited. I went to take a step forward, but using my hind legs first, I immediately fell over. “OOF!” I exclaimed. “Are you ok?” said Fluttershy. “Oww. It hurt a bit, but yes, I’ll be ok,” I responded groggily. An hour or two passed before I had gathered how to walk properly with no trouble. I laughed at the sound I made when I walked. Fluttershy just got confused. “I should have asked earlier, but how do I get to Twilight?” She pointed her hoof to a large tree only a couple hundred meters away. “I would go with you but I have to help with Angel. He’s my bunny, and he can be very fussy at times.” “Ok, see you later Fluttershy,” I said as I started trotting off into the direction of the large tree. On my way I had time to think to myself, when this thought occurred to me. “Oh my god!” I yelled out loud. “I’m a girl, I completely forgot!” I started trotting around in circles to try and make myself think and try to understand why this was happening. I was truly confused. “Ok. I’ll fix this. I’ll worry about this later,” I said to myself as I kept on going Twenty or so minutes passed while on this constant trotting. I was doing laps around a tree. “I can’t believe this has happened,” I said in shock. Up in the sky something caught my attention. A rainbow seeming to get closer and closer “LOOK OUT!” I hear screamed in my direction. CRASH! A cyan pony with a rainbow mane and tail was at my feet. I think to myself, “Is that, Rainbow Dash?” "Ugh." The pony which had just landed in front of me made a large moaning “OWWW!” Then she stood up, shook off the dirt and said, “Hi, name’s Rainbow Dash. Heh heh. Sorry about that. You must be new here. What’s your name?” “This isn’t happening, it’s just not possible!” I think to myself. “Ummm, are you feeling ok?” said the lightly bruised pony “Yeah I’m fine. My name is Crystal. I’m new here. I’m just walking to somepony named Twilight’s house,” I said, realizing I said somepony not somebody. “Why are you walking? I mean you do have wings and all.” I had no clue what to say to this. I mean, I don’t know how to fly, but if I tell her this, she may realize that I’m not a pony, and that could end up badly. But my loudmouth insisted on me asking her on how to fly. ”Uuuuhhh. I don’t know how to fly.” Rainbow Dash burst out laughing. “You’re joking right?!” I quietly replied, “No. I’m not.” I had to make an excuse. “It’s not funny! I fell out of Cloudsdale into the Everfree Forrest before learning how to fly!” Rainbow Dash believed me. “Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry! I didn’t know!” I felt kind of bad for lying to Rainbow Dash, but I had to keep quiet. “It’s fine, but could you teach me how to fly?” “Umm. I guess so,” Rainbow Dash replied. The hours flew on by, quite literally. I had now grasped the basic concept of flying. I thanked Rainbow Dash as she flew off back to Cloudsdale. I began to take flight without the help of the cyan Pegasus pony, when out of nowhere, I was tackled by a pink blur. Without any time to think it said, “HIIIIII! My name’s Pinkie Pie, but you can call me Pinkie all my friends do! What’s your name, where are you from, do you know Twilight, have you met the princess-” I quickly interrupted the rambling. “Whoa, whoa! One question at a time. My names Crystal, I’m from the Everfree Forrest, I’m trying to find Twilight, and nice to meet you,” I said quickly. “Ooh do you know Twilight? Well if you’re going to meet her, you should probably go past sugarcube corner. There are lots of things to do there! And- WAIT! Did you say the E-E-EVERFREE FOREST?!?!” The pink pony quickly darted away in a flash. “Well that was random......” I said to myself. So I took flight and looked for a tall tree, according to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. I quickly darted towards the tree forgetting I was a novice flier. I forgot to flap my left wing and immediately went hurtling towards a white, blue, and purple house. “This can’t be good!” I immediately thought before crashing through the roof of the building. “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!” A large scream came from a white unicorn pony with purple hair. “MY MANE” she continued. “Ugh. I’m really sorry, it was an accident! I’m new at this whole flying business!” I said to the unicorn “Oh, I’m sorry. I just thought that Sweetie Belle and her friends may have been up to mischief. I say, are you alright?” she replied “Yes, thank you for asking. Aren’t you mad that I broke through your roof and messed up your shop?” I questioned. “Well of course I’m a bit mad, but it’s nothing a little magic can’t fix.” “Did you need some help?” I asked. “I'll be fine. You must be new around here. I’m Rarity. Now where was it you were going?” Rarity replied. “I’m looking for Twilight. I need answers on something I just experienced,” I said. “And what is that?” The white unicorn replied. “I’ve already said too much.” I then had to make a quick run towards the exit. I stretched out my wings and took flight, successfully this time, and made a quick dash towards the hollowed tree. I made it. “Finally!” I Exclaimed. Relieved at this I knocked on the door and received an answer not from a unicorn but a dragon. “Hi there! You look like you’re new around Ponyville, and are probably looking for Twilight?” “Yes I am. My name’s Crystal. Nice to meet you Spike.” Spike started blushing. I immediately thought, are you gay or something, but then I remembered not only was I a Pegasus, but also a mare. Spike walked off in the distance and in one hundred percent resemblance to the T.V show, I saw Twilight. “Hi there Crystal! My name’s Twilight. Did you need some help-HUH?!” She took notice of the necklace around my neck. “Crystal, where did you get that necklace?!” Shortly after I explained that I was not a Mare, but in fact, a Human, she did not understand what a human was, but she knew that I was not from Equestria. “Listen Crystal. I need to do some research on this. Come see me tomorrow morning and then we’ll talk some more. Until then, why don’t you take a look around Ponyville?” It was 1pm. “But I need answers!” I said shocking both Twilight and Spike by how I whined about it. “So do I,” she replied, “but answers don’t come in an instant. Go and speak to Applejack in sweet apple acres. She might have room for you to stay there a night or two, and one more thing. You had better keep that necklace with you in case anything goes wrong,” said Twilight. "Bye, I’ll see you later!" said spike. I immediately look into the sky and curse. I tried to pull a cheesy smile but it just felt weird. I looked back once again. "Why am I a mare?" I said quietly. I simply looked back and started trotting off to the Red barn she had pointed to. I took Pinkie Pie’s advice and went to sugarcube corner. It was an interesting little place made of ginger bread. What is this, I thought. I poked my head around the door and noticed a pony with what seemed to be a swirl of frosting on her head. “Well hello dear. My name is Mrs. Cake. I’ve never seen you around here before, are you new?” I replied “Yes. I am fairly new here. Some blur of a pony named Pinkie Pie said I should come past here.” “She was right. Every new pony in Ponyville will get one free cake.” To my excitement, I quickly squeezed my face against the glass showing all the cupcakes and cakes there; they all looked so, so delicious I chose the Bright blue one ironically, which was the same color as my mane. “It’s always nice to have a new girl around town.” I tried to smile but it only made me remember I was a mare. Luckily, I had a cupcake, and that kept me happy. As I went to the front door, I was confronted by Pinkie Pie again. “Oh hi.” I said. She replied hastily, “Quickly! Run! My tail is shaking, MY TAIL IS SHAKING!” She bolted inside and hid under a bed. “You’re random,” I said out loud. As soon as I got outside, I got hit in the face by a potted plant, which had just fallen off a windowsill. “OWW,” I cried. I quickly got moving. I had reached Sweet Apple Acres like Twilight had told me to. Almost immediately, I was greeted by an orange pony with a brown hat “Howdy! Name’s Applejack. You new around these here parts?” I was beginning to get tired of the same question over and over again. “Yes, my name’s Crystal”. Without noticing, I was starting to forget about my human life. “Twilight said you might have a place to stay a night or two,” I quickly said. “Well sure I do. You’re welcome to stay as long as you like, but first you gotta meet the apple family.” You guessed it. Just like Twilight did, I met Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith as well. A couple of hours passed, and I then realized parts of my human life were starting to fade away from my memory. I jumped on a nice soft bed, remembering all the strange things I had done that day. I then looked at my hooves remembering my hands. I was slightly disappointed but also.......slightly happy. End Chapter 2 Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, more coming soon! As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated. Also i have fixed the errors when characters are speaking, it should be easier to read. Chapter 3 should be uploaded by next week Wednesday (GMT + 8:00) > Chapter Three (Edited and fixed) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 1800_SCREWED (Actually makes sense now) It was a strange night. Dreams I never had anything like before were flowing through my mind. It was incredible and amazing, but somehow I couldn't comprehend them. "Why aren't I dreaming about human girls?" I asked myself. Feelings I could not understand were flooding my mind. "This is so strange," I went on. "Why are there ponies in my dreams?" The next morning, I groggily awoke to the smell of apples. I was confused, but also enjoyed the smell of fresh apple pie. I could almost swear the smell made me drool. It consisted of pastry, apple, whipped cream, and apple juice. The smell was...DELICIOUS. I immediately got up and followed my nose. The smell was intoxicating. The further I trotted, the more intense the smell grew. Trotting downstairs, I noticed Big Macintosh eating apple pie with whipped cream. Drool dripped from my mouth. I quickly said, "Is that apple pie...for breakfast?" "Eeyup," he replied. "C'mon down. ‘Ave a seat," Applejack insisted. I flung myself at the table. In front of me was a delicious apple pie with whipped cream, alongside a glass of apple juice. "I’m starting to like it here," I quickly thought to myself. Looking at the apple pie I realized, "Oh no. How do I eat it?" Confused, my eyes quickly darted across the room. I noticed Applejack picking it up with her hoof and taking large bites out of the pie. So I tried, and failed. I knocked it off the table onto the floor. No pony noticed. I bent down, and while no one was looking, I put my mouth straight into the pie, eating it like a dog. Food was all over my mouth, but I didn't notice. it just tasted so good. I sat back up at the table, with food all around my mouth. "I –urrrr - need to go wash my face," I said, my voice starting to grow more feminine. I quickly rushed off to the bathroom next to the room which I had just slept in, and washed my face with an apple imprinted flannel. By the time I got back, everyone had left the table. Only Applebloom was left behind to wash all the dishes. "Hi! Name’s Applebloom. You don't talk much do ya'?" she said. "Oh, well, I’m just new around here and not really adjusted to my surroundings," I replied. "Why were you left here to do all the dishes by yourself?" I added in. "That’s simple. Y'see, I’m little, and I can’t buck apples like my big brother and sister, so I have smaller jobs to do so I won’t get in the way. Besides. I like the dishes because they’re really easy.” “Huh, is that so?” I was surprised, because at home, I hated doing the dishes. I started trotting off outside the barn and noticed Applejack and Big Macintosh bucking and collecting apples. “Thanks for having me stay and have some of that delicious pie. I’m sorry, but I have to go see Twilight.” “T’was no problem. Y’all come back soon, y’hear?” I pulled back my wings, trying to remember what Rainbow Dash taught me. Successfully, I took off with no problems whatsoever. It was incredible. The wind was in my mane it was like nothing I had felt before. “Surely the visit can wait. I’ve gotta try flying around first,” I thought. So I began to fly around ponyville. The feeling was so incredible. I was amazed. As I flew up higher, I noticed what seemed to be a floating city. My natural instincts told me to explore it. Immediately, I did. The buildings all seemed to look like roman gods had created them. It was unbelievable. “No. I mustn’t get sidetrack, I must see Twilight,” I thought, when I was tackled by who other than, Rainbow Dash. “Hi again,” I said, trying to sound cheerful. “Heh...sorry ‘bout that again," replied Rainbow with an awkward smile. I groaned. “Ugh. It’s ok. So, what are you up to?” I inquired. “Well actually, I was hoping you could join me and Fluttershy. We’re going to a club. No stallions allowed,” replied Rainbow Dash. It sounded weird. “I mean, shouldn’t I be a stallion?” I thought. “Sure, sounds like a plan,” I said. And with that, Rainbow Dash literally pulled me off my cloud, and then flew me to the club in upper Cloudsdale. I looked around. Like Rainbow said, there were no stallions there. We both sat down at a table. I felt a little awkward, not knowing how to break the ice. As I was thinking that, Fluttershy walked in. “Hi Rainbow. Hi Crystal. What’s up?” Rainbow Dash quickly broke in. “Hey Crystal, I think that mare over there is giving you the eye.” Anypony could have instantly worked out that that Rainbow meant she was a lesbian. “Are you serious?” I stuttered. “Why? What’s wrong? You scared of other mares?,dont worry, just because it's a mares only club dosen't mean im a lesbian, or anypony else for that matter,sometimes stallions can be a bit obnoxious and annoying,” Rainbow said “What?! No-but-no! Why would that mare be on to me?!” I said losing my grip on the conversation. Rainbow Dash cracked up laughing. “Don't worry about it. I’m only joking. I know the mare, she has a stallion mate ” A sigh of relief escaped my mouth. I started blushing. Fluttershy giggled. “Rainbow’s only joking. She wasn’t trying to be mean.” I was silent. Two hour’s had passed. It was now 12pm midday. “Oh my god! I think- no it’s not possible... I don't believe it, I HAVE A CRUSH ON RAINBOW DASH!!!” I thought. In this sudden awkwardness, I started blushing again. “What’s up?” said Rainbow, which only made my blush go on further. “Uuuuuhhh, nothing. I - I have to go...” I said before bolting out the room. I had lost my bearings of where I was by the time I left Cloudsdale. All I had to do was search for this big tree on a hill. “There it is,” I said with a quick sigh of relief, no sign of Rainbow Dash before I started flying towards it. “I don’t believe it, one day is all it took to get a crush on Rainbow Dash,” I said to myself before landing on Twilight’s doorstep. I knocked on the door. I was answered immediately, almost as if she had been waiting there for me. “I can’t find anything,” she said in a mumbly tone. “Pardon?” I asked. “I CAN’T FIND ANYTHING!” she screamed. “You mean, I’m gonna be like this......forever?!”I exclaimed. “Maybe. I don’t know-Wait we could go to canterlot and ask Princess Celestia for some aid!” she said happily. “Great ide-”I started before getting cut off by Twilight. “WHERE’S THE NECKLACE?!” “What do you mean? It’s right around my neck..., HOLY SH-CELESTIA!”I swore. “What just happened? Why can’t I swear?” I thought. “Oh no oh no oh no oh no. Where do you remember having it last?” said Twilight. “Well, in Cloudsdale, I guess,” I replied before blushing, remembering Rainbow Dash. “Great. Now we have two things to do,” said Twilight, slightly angrily. End Chapter 3 Find out what happens next chapter. OOOHHH I love cliff hangers, don’t you? > Chapter Four (Edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4 (not so rushed version) “I can’t believe you lost it!” exclaimed Twilight. “I can’t believe I lost it either!” I agreed. RUMMMBBBLLLEEEEE!!!! Suddenly noises of screaming came from southward. We both looked at each other in confusion. Right after the glance, Twilight was shaken out of her library as it flipped upside down. “Ugh. What in the name of Celestia just happened?” asked Twilight Sparkle dizzily. “I have no clue. I’m really confused actually,” I said, shocked, as I looked upon Twilight's house. Twilight looked up to see her house destroyed for the second time. “Again, really?” she said sounding irritated. Twilight remembered what previously happened with the necklace and grieved at all the effort it took her to build her house again. Suddenly, a bright flash came out of nowhere so intense, I was blinded for a minute. “Ack! What’s happening now! Is it always this hectic here?” I asked Twilight through a haze. “Yep. That’s Ponyville for you,” she responded in a joking tone of voice. As a little time went by, strange things started happening all over Ponyville. Trees growing arms and legs, the ground gained a checkered pattern, the sky was turning pink; almost as if Ponyville itself was getting affected by poison joke. “This is weird. Look at all this.....chaos. It’s crazy!” I almost yelled. “This seems too........ I dunno, familiar, like it’s happened before,” responded Twilight Sparkle. Living gummy bears started marching around like they were soldiers. Very strange to see. Just as I lost concentration, a telephone booth made of gummy bears randomly appeared behind me. I was so confused, I stood stock still. “Yes I would like one candy floss pizza to go. Yes, yes, of course I want ice cream on top,” said a male voice coming from the telephone booth. “Uhhhhhh, what the…?” I said really, and I mean really, confused. “Hello there, little blue pony,” said the voice “I know that voice, but I don't remember from who,” said Twilight “Ahhh. Twilight Sparkle. You’re here too. Don't you remember me? I mean, it was a major event and all; you did imprison me after all!” said the voice muffled by the sound of, eating? Out of the booth appeared a beast which walked on two legs, had an eagle claw, a lion’s paw, dragon’s legs, the wings of a pegasus, one fang protruding from its mouth, the mane of a pony, the tail of a snake, and a little beard under his chin. “DISCORD?! How.....but......why.....!?!?” exclaimed a baffled Twilight Sparkle. “Surprised to see me? BOO!” joked Discord. Twilight and I jumped back. “Well, I guess you are surprised to see me. Oh by the way, do you like my new necklace. I have grown quite fond of it,” gloated Discord. “Give it back!!” Twilight and I both yelled in unison. “Well, nopony is getting it back until a little manners are used, if they are getting it back at all, which I doubt. It is very nice,” added Discord. “Discord, can I please have the necklace?” I asked fluttering my eyes. “Doesn’t that sound nicer? Hmmm, let me think........what about, NO!” Discord immediately cracked up laughing uproariously. “I do believe you’re going to have to try a lot better than that. I have an idea. If you stop me, not only will I give you the necklace, but I’ll leave you alone. FOREVER! And one more thing. Don’t bother trying to use your precious elements of harmony. They won’t help you anymore. If you fire at me, I’ll simply teleport somewhere else at random,” said Discord. POOF. Discord disappeared seconds after a tidal wave of cotton candy clouds filled the sky. “Here we go again,” sighed Twilight. CSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH. The sound of rain – uuuhhhh, chocolate rain started to fill the air. Twilight and I started walking off to go find the other girls. We were first to find Pinkie Pie, drinking the chocolate rain. “Yay! It’s raining chocolate again!” she exclaimed gulping large amounts of chocolate rain. Twilight just facehoofed before we both noticed Rainbow Dash circling the cotton candy clouds and tying them in a ball with the help of Applejack. “EEEE!! Not again!” screamed Rarity who was knocked over by a group of long legged rabbits. “GIRLS! We need to go to Canterlot to talk to the Princess. No time to explain, just hurry!!” yelled Twilight, her voice stopping everyone in their tracks “Where’s Fluttershy?” I quickly asked. “I’ll get her. You guys go on without me. I’ll catch up,” said Rainbow Dash. Twilight simply nodded her head and said, “C’mon girls. Let’s go!” We all headed off in the direction of Canterlot. About 30 minutes later Applejack stopped in her tracks. “Twi.’ I ain’t going another step ‘til you tell me what the hay is going on!” she announced. “I’m sorry girls, I - we all needed to go and I didn't have time. Crystal do you mind if I tell them what’s going on?” Twilight said. I thought about it for a moment before coming to the conclusion they were going to find out anyway. “Yeah sure, but I would like to tell them instead,” I said. Twilight nodded her head. I turned and faced my small crowd and announced, “I know I have not been here long, and I should have told you all what I really am. You see, I’m not from Ponyville. In fact, I’m not even from Equestria. I’m from a different world entirely. I doubt anyone has ever left Equestria or even heard of this place. It’s a strange world with different creatures. There are ponies there, but they don't talk, can’t fly, or use magic. It’s extremely hard to explain,” I said, trying my hardest not to blush again. “I don't understand. It simply doesn’t make sense darling,” Rarity said confused. “I don't understand much either Rarity. I don't know why I’m here. I wish I had answers myself,” I responded. “And that's why we’re going to Canterlot. To find out, and stop Discord of course.” Twilight giggled at the end of her sentence. “How are we gonna stop Discord Twilight?” asked Rainbow Dash. I started blushing as she spoke. Rainbow Dash noticed but didn’t say anything. “The same way as before. With the elements of harmony,” said Twilight. “Didn‘t Discord say that they won’t work on him anymore?” I responded. “Discord could be lying and hiding something. We‘ll have to try,” responded the lavender pony. “B-b-b-but, the chocolate rain!!! Girls, where do you get chocolate rain?! SERIOUSLY! Think this through!” yelled Pinkie Pie. Everyone rolled their eyes. “Well, mah question has been answered. So what ‘r’ y’all waitin’ for? Let’s go!” Applejack announced. Before we got the chance, we noticed what seemed to be a horribly cruel joke that looked like something Discord would certainly do; Princess Celestia solidified in stone, just as Discord had been. “Oh no oh no oh no no no no no no!!! Without the princess, we’ll never know where the Elements are! What do we do?!” said Twilight Sparkle, almost hyperventilating. “Whoa. Calm down sugar cube. Maybe Princess Luna could help. She is a powerful princess ya’ know,” said Applejack grasping Twilight. “We must go on everypony. It’s the only option,” said Fluttershy with more courage than normal. “Fluttershy’s right you know. We have to keep moving if we want to stop Discord. It’s our only hope! I know I’m not an Element of harmony, but I’ll help in any way I can!” I said, giving Twilight a burst of hope. “Ok everpony, let’s go! Onward to Canterlot!” said Twilight, giving out a burst of confidence. So we all head off into the direction of Canterlot, not knowing of the events that were to unfold! End chapter 4 Big thanks for editing by SilverShadowThePegasus you should view his page as well! (Little note) Sorry everyone about the short chapter everypony but I’ve been up to a lot > Chapter Five > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5 1800_SCREWED "How further to Canterlot Twilight?" huffed Rarity as she galloped "Im not quite sure, I think we should be there in about two minutes" Twilight replied slowly running out of air "Wait what's That?" I asked "Thats Canterlot, It's a real party!" Responded Pinkie Pie We all slowly rose over the top of the hill to see a very distorted Canterlot castle. The waterfall went upwards, the towers were turned into golems, everything was well, discord. We all descended towards what seemed to be a large unicorn with a whit coat, and a compass for a cutie mark, he also wore a jacket and was well groomed. ”Ain’t that the Blueblood feller you was talkin’ to before Rarity?” Asked Applejack “Why yes i think it is, wait a second- BLUEBLOOD, YOU HORRIBLE UNCARING SENSELESS MONSTER!” yelled Rarity at the top of her lungs and darted towards him at full throttle. Twilight on Instinct tried to stop Rarity with her magic, but for once was over powered by Rarity. “I BET YOUR THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS!!!”She yelled into his face when she got to him. “I did nothing of the sort, Ugh Rarity from Ponyville get her away!, Filth eeww.” Responded Blueblood urging Rarity away. “FILTH!?!” screamed Rarity “Boy’ he’s in for it now” Laughed Applejack “LISTEN YOU-YOU BEAST, ILL SHOW YOU FILTH!” Rarity then pushed Blueblood into a chocolate milk puddle almost instantly turning his white coat brown. “Oh dear Celestia im being attacked by commoners, this is disgusting, AND THIS IS FILTHY!!!” Exclaimed Blueblood “Cant you just smell the chaos?, hmm i can smell that along with seven ponies from Ponyville and one uptight stallion from Canterlot,ooh such fun!,whatever will happen next?”Interrupted a giggling male voice which came from a cotton candy cloud. “Discord!, why do you have to be like this?, why cant you just leave us alone” I yelled at him not realising how loud my voice actually was. “Oh, little blue pony you want to know the answer?, ok ill tell you; This is simply too much fun, Ponies screaming and confused, I mean somepony has to mess things up every now and then” Responded Discord. drinking the cloud through a gigantic squiggly straw “But we don’t want this, and what did you do to Princess Celestia!, she has done nothing wrong, please just stop Discord”Demanded Twilight “Oh on the contrary, your Princess froze me in stone for six thousand years, and why wouldn't you want this?, ordinary life is so boring, and speaking of ordinary life, Crystal if that is your real name your not from here are you, i also noticed you dont have a cutie mark aw how sad, i’ll guess that you’re going to have to work on that. Well this has been fun but i have more chaos to spread, goodbye ponies.” and just like that Discord dissapeared. All focus then left Discord and want back to Rarity and Blueblood.When nopony was looking Blueblood escaped Rarity’s grasp. “I’ll get you yet” Rarity mumbled. “Come on Everypony it’s time to go” Said Twilight On our way we passed the remnants of Twilight’s old school, she looked greif stricken “Were finaly here” said Twilight “Um Twilight how do we get in?”Asked Fluttershy “I dont know” Twilight said simply. We all stood there and thought at times it looked like somepony had an idea then there face would fall due to the loss of the idea. “I have an idea!.”I announced “Dosent the princess have a secret entrance for emergencies?” “Your right, Quickly everypony follow me!” Exclaimed the Lavender pony “WAIT!” Yelled Rainbow Dash “I rember Discord saying something about you not being from Equestria, Im not going anywhere untill i get answers”. I tried really hard and i mean REALLY HARD not to blush. “And why do you always blush when I talk?!” Exclaimed Rainbow Dash “Rainbow Dash that is’nt very nice and Crystal dosn’t have to explain herself if she doesn’t want to” Responded Twilight “It’s quite fine Twilight she deserves an explanation, along with anypony else; Everypony as Discord said earlier, im not really from Equestria, I don't even know how I got here, that's why I was in such a rush to find Twilight I thought she might have the answers; as it turns out she doesn't, im now in really deep trouble because I have no idea how to get back and on top of it all the one pony who might have the answers is frozen in stone!, and the answer to your second question Rainbow is I have a-a-a-...”I said to everypony just standing there in shock “Well spit it out then! you have a what?” Continued Rainbow Dash “I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU!!!!” I yelled. Everypony stood there in shock, Except for Rainbow Dash who ended up with flaming red cheeks, speechless. She went to open her mouth to speak, before she got the chance I pulled back my wings and flew off faster than anypony expected because of my colour it looked as though I left a lightning bolt behind me.I was gone. “We cant worry about her right now we have to keep going to save Equestria” Said Rarity “Y-your right, lets go” responded Twilight. Rainbow Dash’s cheeks were flaming red as she mumbled so nopony could hear “I like you to, if only you were a stallion”. Rainbow and the other ponies then joined Twilight and followed on to go to the secret entrance. I was now alone upon a dark cloud sobbing almost because I knew we could never be together, I had time to gather my thoughts or so I thought. “Aw to bad at least you tried, I mean it’s not the end of the world,oh ho ho wait yes it is” Said Discord on the cloud next to me “You did this on purpose Discord, you did this so Rainbow you'd make me confess!” “I did no such thing, it was on her own accord; this is so much fun!” Responded Discord “It may be for you but not for me NOW GO AWAY!” I yelled “Fine, be by yourself, oh by the way it seems your friends are in a bit of a pickle”Said Discord before turning into a balloon and flying away. End Chapter 5 > Chapter Six > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 1800_SCREWED (slightly edited) I was back to where I started alone and confused. “Why am I here, I don't understand.” I said to myself out loud. I had forgotten I was a Pegasus, a female Pegasus. I cringed in disbelief it was strange being female, I felt different I looked different and I spoke different. “On the bright side, I can fly!”I thought trying to be optimistic. The feeling of flight was awesome, out here on my own no interruptions just flight, there were no worries here the wind in my hair-urr mane was incredible. I stopped myself and landed on a cloud, the only non cotton candy one that was there; realization suddenly hit me. “Wait a minute, if im a mare that means.....oh my god if im straight here, ill be gay back home but im straight at home, ill be homo here”I said.This was too much to comprehend. “Maybe if i lived alone in the everfree Forrest..., no i need food, what if I?...., no......but......ugh”I continued. I was completely confused about what to do. I really needed help, so did my new found friends- i think {back to the mane 6} “Here it is, the secret entrance to Canterlot castle” Twilight said full of relief. “That took forever; Spooky,wooooo wooooo, ” Added a bored Pinkie Pie. Nopony was amused by this . All six jumped down into a little brown ditch where there lied a little wooden door. They then rolled there eyes at Pinkie’s comment then Twilight opened the door and all six of them walked in. “This is horrible and dirty and it smells like poop” Rarity said disgusted. Everypony ignored Rarity and kept on trotting along. “I know you probably don't want to talk about this Rainbow but, you know it takes a lot to let out your feelings like Crystal did, it may have been awkward and all but you cant have a grudge against her, you may not feel the same way but you can still be friends” Said Twilight as they were walking through the smelly chambers. “Yeah, I know that, It’s a bit weird you know, I don't hate her but don't know what to say to her i didn’t expect that response but do feel a bit bad now though I SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING” Replied the cyan pony “Well where going to have to put that behind us for now, we have bigger problems at the moment”Said Twilight. At the very moment Twilight finished her sentence a large frightening growling noise occurred. “Wha-What was that!?!” Shrieked Fluttershy “It was probly’ nothin’, don't worry Fluttershy” Reassured Applejack. The noise happened again, it was now moving towards them. All six of them poked there head around a small bend on the dirt path. “I think that's a- a-” Twilight said unable to finish her sentence “HYDRA!!!” they all shrieked in unison. As an immediate reaction they all turned around to be greeted by another hydra. “Uhh ladies, i think there's a second one behind us” Said Rarity. They were in really big trouble. {back to me} Well I really cant do anything just sitting here, if I want answers I need to go and help all of them and, *gulp* face Rainbow Dash; Damn it why didn’t i just lie that would have saved my emotions and I might actually have answers”I Said while at the same time facehoofing at the mistakes Ive made. “Well no turning back now” I said before pulling back my wings and taking off. I then noticed hoof tracks, instinctively I followed the tracks, I dove down after hearing a loud screaming noise coming from a nearby hole. Quickly I jumped through the hole and open the little door and flew in there at full speed hurting towards the screaming. There I saw two gigantic hydras standing menacingly over the small group of ponies. “Everypony listen to me!!, I have a plan!”I yelled. Everypony there was extremley shocked to see me come and help. “Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy quickly come with me” I said not making eye contact with Rainbow Dash. They both responded but Rainbow Dash didn’t look at me either. “First, Twilight do you know any spells that can put hydras to sleep?” I asked “Yes, but it takes some time to cast” she responded “Ok, Rainbow since your so colourful you can easily distract one whole hydra, Fluttershy I need you to come with me we’ll both distract the second hydra”I commanded. Rainbow Dash simply nodded her head and got a move on the first one. “But- but it’s scary, and big and horrible and mean” Said Fluttershy “Yes I know, but if we don hurry the hydras well eat our friends. Fluttershy put on a determined look, we then took off in the direction of the other hydra and started circling around it, the hydras took several headbutts at us three but the all missed. “TWILIGHT,ARE YOU NEARLY FINISHED??” I yelled at the top of my lungs “Nearly there” Responded Twilight who was sweating like crazy. BOOOM a large purple magical blast erupted from Twilights horn, sending both hydras asleep. Two large crashes were heard as they smashed into the ground at full force. There was just an awkward silence as we continued to the castle. “What happened back there Crystal, you just left without a word” Twilight said attempting to break the ice “Forget it, lets pretend that never happened okay?” I said grumpily “But it did happen Crystal, you cant just forget something that happens like that!” Responded Twilight. “But i really want to, I shouldn't have done that to you Rainbow, it wasn't fair” I continued “Listen, I don't hate you or anything but I just don't feel the same way, Im sorry” Added in Rainbow Dash “Look Everypony, Were here” Exclaimed Pinkie Pie “Phew” I thought A few hours past wondering aimlessly around the new chaotic Canterlot castle, occasionally making awkward eye contact with Rainbow Dash and tripping over every now and then due to getting used to walk on all fours. We all agreed that we were lost before running into what seemed to be a floating blue sphere with Princess Luna inside “Is that Luna?” Asked Applejack “Oh my gosh we have to help her Twilight!” Said Rarity “I don't know how to, I don't know what I can do” Twilight said sadly “You have to try! Twilight, anything at all!” Added in Pinkie “She’s right you know you can both do it!”I agreed with Pinkie Pie. They both aimed there horns at the sphere; Rarity was holding the sphere so when Twilight did what ever she did the princess would be ok, Twilight on the other hand was getting ready to fire a large amount of magical anything at the sphere. PZZZZZZZZZZZCCCHHHHTTTTT BANG!!!!. Purple and blue magic was going everywhere, just before we all noticed Princess Luna on the floor asleep. “Princess Luna?, are you ok?” Asked Applejack “Ungh, DISCORD YOU’LL NEVER-!, oh wait where am I?, where’s Discord?, why are you all here?” Asked Luna “Im sorry princess but i have some shocking news, Discord is loose as you already know, Princess Celestia is frozen in stone and he has, my new necklace which has an incredible amount of power inside of it!”Said Twilight “Yes and im really sorry to Interrupt, and this is really informal, but I need answers to why im here Im not from Ponyville, let alone Equestria; You see im not even a pony!, back where im from I was walking home from my school when I found this necklace i put it on got electrified a massive explosion happened and now im here!”. I asked Impatiently “Im really sorry, but im afraid I don't have the answers to your question, but from what it sounds like is someone has tried to make an amulet and something went wrong and somehow ended up in your world”responded the Princess looking at me if somehow she knew me. Rarity looked around sheepishly, Twilight took notice of this. “Rarity what did you do?” Demanded Twilight “Im really sorry but a couple of days ago I came around to your your house to see how the platinum I gave to you was coming of use, when I saw a beautiful necklace when I picked it up to check it out with my magic, it then made a strange fizzling i didnt tell you because you might not have been to happy with me, im sorry darling” Replied Rarity tearing up “Oh Rarity you should have told me, if you had of done so in the beginning we wouldn't be in this mess, but don't worry we’ll fix this” replied Twilight End chapter 6 > Chapter Seven > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7 (UNEDITED) One night had passed since the incident with the hydra and we were all sitting with Princess Luna in the same room where we found her, none of us had any sleep. “I have a plan!”Announced Luna “We shall gather the elements of harmony again to stop Discord, it has always worked and the elements wont fail!”She Continued “But Discord said the elements wont work” Said Fluttershy quietly “Discord also said that last time sugarcube; and look where that got him’” Replied Applejack “Well there's no harm in trying is there?” I said. Everyone just stopped talking and looked at me, this is the first time I had spoken since we found Luna. “She’s right, we cant just give up Discord’s mean!, Look what he did to Princess Calestia” Said Pinkie enthusiastically. Immediately breaking the silence. “I also have bad news, Since my sister is frozen in stone we cannot go fight Discord, once again she retrieved the elements and locked them away I just don't know how we will retrieve them” Said Luna grimly. “Oh well i guess that's just to bad,you tried and failed, I hope you enjoy the new Equestria It’s so funny how you think the elements are going to help you but if you insist go and find them, no hints this time. maybe next time you'll do better oh and your taking up a bit to much space in my castle, so goodbye!”Announced Discord coming out of hiding Laughing menacingly at us. POOF we were teleported outside getting soaked in chocolate milk rain. “What in the?” asked Luna. “We don't know maybe Discord likes chocolate milk or something” Replied Twilight “I swear this place gets weirder and weirder everyday” Said Rainbow Dash as if she were saying it to me. “Well we aren't doing any good standing here are we, We have to find the elements girls” said Rarity. So we then all trotted of into the direction of ponyville. On the way there i decided to bring up the awkward conversation with Rainbow we had before. “Um, Rainbow Dash about before im really sorry about before I shouldn't have asked you or put you in that really awkward spot i know your not a lesbian and should not have done that” I said quietly so only Rainbow could hear. We took a couple of steps back away from everypony else and had our own little conversation. “It’s ok, don't worry about it we all make mistakes also between you and me your not the first mare to ask me out; you know Berry Punch?” Asked Rainbow Dash. The whole ‘mare’ thing hit me again like a slap to the face. “Shit, I forgot I was a mare when i was asking Rainbow out, god im stupid”I quickly thought “Yeah, i've seen Berry Punch while walking around Ponyville” I replied “Well, the funny thing is she also tried me; of course I said no Berry Punch is a bit weird, I was walking to go and see Applejack, we were going to try a new recipe of hers apple strudel. When out of nowhere Berry Punch comes out of no where full on tackling me asking me out not letting me go trying to kiss me, At least you didn't do that.”Said Rainbow Dash blushing “Woah, that's a bit much hey, but still im sorry”I replied “Dude it’s fine, just don't tell anyone about the whole Berry thing okay?”Said Rainbow sheepishly. “If you had of asked me out a bit later I might have said yes; if only you were a stallion....” Thought Rainbow. Luna pulled me back from Rainbow Dash with her magic and looked at me strangely. “So, your new to Equesrtia is that true?”Asked Luna “Yes, though i must say it’s a bit strange living here a feeling i really cannot comprehend” I replied “Do you have any brothers or sisters?”She asked giving me a strange look “Um, no I don't may I ask why?” I replied “Oh no reason, also did you ask out Rainbow Dash?” She said trying to change the subject. I started blushing “I..ii...i uuhhhh.....”I said stumbling “Never mind” She added with a chuckle “Also its really easy to tell when your blushing, you are blue after all just like me ” she said. A couple minutes passed of simple chatting about the past events when Twilight burst out. “I know where the elements are!”. Everypony looked at Twilight shocked “What ever do you mean darling?” Asked Rarity “Remember when we were fighting Discord last time?; well after we did the elements were teleported away to someplace unknown” “Ah‘m a bit lost here sugarcube what do yer mean?” Asked Applejack “ I think there at the old abandoned castle in the everfree forrest where they first were to begin with!” Excaimed Twilight “What are we waiting for then, lets go” Yelled Pinkie “HOLD IT!” I squealed forgetting i was a mare, not a mare or stallion for that matter “Don't you think that discord would have made a trap?”I asked “I don't think so, he seemed pretty confident the elements wont work” Replied Twilight “Well why are we still going for them then?”I asked “Because right now there our only hope!!, lets go!” Replied Luna. Just as she said that we started galloping towards our objective {To Discord; inside his head, thinking} “Darn why must there always be a stick in my mud, Cobalt coming back from the human world no, no, no!, this cannot happen, Why couldn't he have just stayed there!, well he’s no threat to me for the time being, that spell I put on him to take away his Alicorn Status and turn him into a mare wont ware off for a long time, as long as he dosn't figure out that Luna is his mother my plan will come together perfectly, im still to weak to send him back to the human world again, he must not find out!, For all they know he is just some random mare named Crystal!”. End Chapter 7 Thanks to Commandobrony for helping me get out of a corner a wrote myself into > Chapter Eight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was awkward. The mess I managed to get myself into. The fact of my stupidity asking out Rainbow Dash what was I thinking? Luna eavesdropping on my conversation with Rainbow yet another mare finds out. I’m so stupid. The sun finally sank over the horizon making way for moon and stars. Drenched in sweat the girls were gasping for air as they continued their way to Ponyville. Suddenly as quick as the moon rose it fell replaced by the sun. The girls all sighed heavily in unison; they had seen this routine before "This is Boorriinnggg" yelled a bored pinkie pie hopping behind Twilight "I Agree with Pinkie booorrrriiiinnnngggg" moaned Rainbow Dash nodding her head in agreement "Jeez you two have the attention span of well- nothing you don’t have an attention span!" Snapped Twilight staring back at Rainbow and Pinkie. I glanced side to side looking at the scenery, The trees were all bent over with oversized apples on them, the sky was full of cotton candy clouds one of Discords favorite tricks. It was still raining chocolate milk. “well for the spirit of chaos he sure likes to use the same old routine” Twilight mused to herself a small smirk on her face” "Well lookey here weren't that a quick trip, we've made it to the Everfree forest" Said Applejack the spirit returning to her voice "Well it's about time, my hooves hurt and I need a manicure" complained Rarity throwing her hoof up to her head "T ain't over just yet" Continued Applejack "We still have to find the elements, Rarity!" Said Twilight narrowing her eyes at Rarity "Shall we enter?" Questioned Luna through the shaking in her voice "Leeeettssss gooooooo!!!" Said Pinkie a little too excitedly. We ventured in slowly; wary of any traps Discord may have set. watching every shadow so we wouldn’t be caught by surprise of any nasty tricks “Hurry girls I can see the castle from here” squealed Twilight racing towards the castle “Twilight wait for us” hollered Applejack running to keep up with Twilight We arrived inside the old abandoned castle and found the elements straight away, right in front........of........ "DISCORD!!!" Everypony wailed in unison “Oh no it seems you girls found me and the elements” cried Discord kicking the elements over to the us “I’m ready to be defeated ladies Fire when ready” making a target appear on his torso with a wave of his arm,again” "Ready girls?" Said Twilight, as I noticed history repeat itself commanded Twilight as pure magical energy flowed through the elements and their bearers. A Large Rainbow beamed out of the girl’s vicinity hitting Discord directly. "NOOOO not again!!!!" Yelled discord flailing his arms about trying to shield himself "Ha take that Discord" Yelled Rainbow Dash. Maybe the elements were THAT powerful after all "BAAHAHAHAH you ponies are a crack up, I fooled you I fooled you, YOU SHOULD SEE THE LOOKS ON YOUR FACES!!! AHAHAAAHAAHAAH" Laughed Discord through a thick wall of smoke. "But....But........the elements can’t fail!" Exclaimed Twilight her eyes darting back and forth looking for anything to explain what went wrong "Oh too bad, try again next time, Enjoy chaos everypony its going to last for a long, long time" Said Discord "It's not over" Roared Luna standing tall to look Discord in his eyes "The Lovely Princess Luna what a surprise it's been quite a long time, I heard you were imprisoned by that mean ol' Celestia too"mocked Discord wiping away fake tears "No, nightmare moon was imprisoned not me!!"Luna Exclaimed, as she said this Her horn began to pulsate with the color of the night sky with all her power she unleashed a blast of magic hurtling straight at Discord. The magical blast zipped through the air hitting dead center of the amulet around Discords neck. To everyponies shock the blast ricocheted straight off. The pendant was now glowing red a bright crimson red like a toaster's element burning "See, no matter what you do ill win, with this necklace chaos will rule forever!' "No, it won’t; what the?" I said in a deeper voice. The smoke from the shot that Luna fired was now starting to clear and I was slowly becoming more visible. "Crystal, you okay?” Asked Twilight "I’m fine, just that Luna would you mind firing your magic a bit less directed at me, that hurt you know" I Responded "This isn't good" Discord muttered to himself "I’m sorry girls this has been fun, but as per usual I have some chaos to wreak" Said Discord putting on a fake smile. Just as he said this with a snap of his fingers he vanished "Dagnabbit, he always does that" Applejack announce .The smoke dissipated, my new from coming into focus as each of the girls turned to see me "GASP!!" They all shouted. "Your a-a-a-a-"Rainbow Dash stuttered at with a loss of words "You’re a s-stall-i-on" Said Fluttershy. Rarity then rushed through her saddlebags to pull out a mirror and put it into my face. "Holy Celestia, I’m semi-normal again!!" I said thinking aloud "What do you mean normal darling?" Asked Rarity raising her eye and turning her head slightly "I’m sorry I should have told you earlier but I was a male all along, a male human” I responded "N-no you’re not" Said Princess Luna tears beginning to well in her eyes "What do you mean?” I asked confused "I think your my-my, son" Said Princess luna "THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!!!" I said louder than expected (shouted) "Well actually, I don't forget things I’m only 200 years younger than my older sister, and my son was taken from me long ago by Discord because of rivalry to the throne, Discord sent him far far away out of my reaches; and since I have reach all over Equestria he sent my child to the only place I didn't have control over, the human world. This drove me mentally unstable and helped drive Nightmare Moon out of me. Now if I remember correctly you had a Lightning blue mane, a dark blue coat like mine and lightning blue eyes. You also were an Alicorn; which tricked me earlier considering that you were also a mare, now let me see if I can fix that" Said Luna "What- but I remember a whole life back in the human world this doesn't add up" I continued "Discord can play tricks on your mind, horrible as it is I am most certain this is true, now stand back I’m going to find out your true form “commanded Luna. Luna took a couple steps backward before aiming her horn directly at me a massive beam was fired straight at me. I felt my insides lurch backwards and forth a large itching sensation i could not explain filled my body as i slightly expanded to big mac's size. My skin tingled as it stretched to fit my new form as my organs rearranged themselves "It is true I can’t believe it you really are my son!" Burst out Luna with joy. I then looked into the mirror: I was taller, had a large horn poking out my head facial features altered, but still, no cutie mark. "I don't believe this" I said to myself Luna ran up to me, tears streaming down her face, embracing me in a hug. Her hoof ran through my lightning blue mane and into my deep sea blue coat. She pulled back looking deeply into my Lightning blue eyes and whispered in my ear "Welcome back, Cobalt"
