Who left the window open?" I had a sudden awakening by a cold breeze. The strange thing was that I felt the wind all over, even on my feet. (most of the time I were socks when I sleep) I opened my eyes, seeing the covers blinding my sight. But it felt thick, like clothes. It wasen't that hard to get out the sheet, being greeted by more cloth. 'Damit!' It took longer, but I got out, being greeted by a lovely sunrise. 'Wow! You have to be at the countryside to get a awsome few like this.' I thought. I looked at the huge sheet to see that it wasent a quilt at all, it was, My shirt?' it was my shirt, seeing the Rainbow Dash photo and on the bottom labeled "Brony". I looked farther down, seeing my jeans right below my now 'over-sized' short-sleeved shirt. 'Wait I minute, if my shirt is here,' I pointed at my shirt on the ground. 'and my pants are over there,' I pointed to the jeans 'Then that means that...' I looked at my now naked body. "AHHHHH!" I franticly covered myself, with no avail of corse, and ran under my giant jeans. 'This is so embarrassing!' I thought blushing. 'Wait a minute, my handkerchief!' I slowly crawled through my pants, to my pockets. I rummaged through all of my things, while also taking them out. Finally finding the handkerchief, I wrapped it around me, like a towel, and tucked in the edges around my breast. 'Somewhat better.' I thought. I looked at all the scatterd things around me now, seeing that everything was there. "Okay, let me get this strait," I started speaking to myself. "Either, someone made all my things bigger, or someone shrunken me... This is one crazy way to wake up, or some crazy dream." I looked at my things, seeing that now my wallet was so big that I could sleep on it if it was opened, and my iPhone 5C was so big, that it was as big as a flat screen TV. When I lifted them up, they were so light, that I thought that they may be made of wood. But seeing that my phone turned on and that my ID was still inside the wallet. 'Super Strength? Cool!" I thought. I looked at my surroundings. I saw a huge forest in front of me. It seemed darker than any regular forest I walk through. (dont judge me! I get curious and easily bored sometimes) I turned around, seeing a familiar Medieval themed town. Seeing the Hay roofs and cobblestone streets I recognized the town. 'I-is that Ponyville?' As if on cue, ponies started walking out the houses and walking down the roads, I saw some mares, I saw some stallions, and even little fillies and clots as well. "This has to be a dream!" I said out loud. I pinched myself, seeing that the pony-populated town was still there. "This isn't..." I said. Sitting on my haunches in defeat. "I-I'm in a pony populated world, with no way out... How did this even happen?" I looked beside myself, seeing my Flat screen TV sized iPhone. I grabbed it and press the multi-colored gem sticker and the screen popped up. It said that it was 6:00 A.M. and that it was June 21. There was no signal and my battery power was at 100%, but there was a very faint internet connection. 'At least I got perfect battery life,' I thought. What I didn't see was a little filly looming over me. Before I knew it, I was trapped in a glass cup that was upside-down, pushing my phone to the side. I turned around, stunned, seeing a pair of reddish orange eyes looking strait at me, with curious expressions within hem. "Girls! Girls! Ah caught sumthin'" I heard the familiar voice coming from the filly. I realized that it was AppleBloom that trapped me, and I saw two of her friends coming over, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They crouched down to take a look at me, with curious expressions on their faces. "What is it?" I heard Scootaloo ask. "Ah don't know Scoots." said AppleBloom. "It looks cute!" I heard Sweetie's squeakie voice come next. "Sweetie, Ya'll think everything's cute." said AppleBloom. "But this time it is! It's so adorable!" Sweetie said. "Whatever it is, it was messing with this thing." Scootaloo picked up my phone. 'My phone!' I thought. "Scoot, put that back! Y'all don't know what that is?" AppleBloom said. "Hey! It's mine now!" Scootaloo replied. "No it isn't. It belongs to this thing." Sweetie pontes a hoof at me. "Finders keepers." Scootaloo said. I couldn't let this filly take what was rightfully mines! "Hey thats mines! Give it back!" I shouted through the cup. All three fillies jumped and looked at my direction, all having shocked expressions now. "Y-you can talk!?" Sweetie asked. "No duh!" I replied. "That's so COOL!" said Scootaloo. "Yeah, yeah, I know, now can I get my phone back?" I asked. "This is a phone?" asked Scootaloo. "Yes it is, Now give it back!" I shouted again. "Like I said before, Finders Keepers!" said Scootaloo. "You don't even know how to use it! And your hooves are too big to touch the touch screen." I said. "Watch me!" Scootaloo said. Scootaloo pressed the button with slight difficultly, and tried to swipe the screen, like I said before, her hoof was too big to swipe the screen. She looked towards me, seeing that I had a slight smirk on my face, hand crossed on my chest. "Hmph!" Scoot said. She put the phone next to the cup, not making eye contact with me, and walked away afterwards. "What are y'all anyways?" asked Applebloom. "I'm a human, the female type, and my name is Avery." I said with a friendly grin. "I never heard of a creature called a 'Human' before?" said Sweetie Belle. "Yeah, and apparently, I am as small as a mouse... Maybe slightly bigger. And all of my things are bigger than me now." I said. "Are you okay?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just trying to adjust to my new size and surroundings." "You mean your not from here?" asked Scootaloo, returning to the cup I'm in. "It seems so. Where I come from, there are no talking ponies, also no unicorns or pegasuses as well." I said looking up at them. All three crusaders were silent. "If you don't mind?" I said getting there attentions. "Can you get me out of here?" I said pressing my hands against the cup. But with ease, I pushed the glass cup and toppled over with the cup, landing on my chest. "Nevermind." "How did y'all do that? A thing your size would barely push this cup." she pointed at the glass cup. "Apparently, my strength is like an ants." I said. "You mean you can lift things five times you size!? Awsome!" shouted Scootaloo. "Yep!" I said, puffing out my chest. "Oh, by the way, I didn't get your names. What may I call you three?" I asked, even though I already know their names, but felt that it would be odd knowing their name even though they didn't tell me. "Oh! We're sorry! Mah name is AppleBloom." Applebloom said. "Names Scootaloo." said Scootaloo next. "And I'm Sweetie Belle!" squeaked Sweetie Belle. "Ahm not tryin' to be mean, but ah never heard of a name like 'Avery'" said AppleBloom. "Well I never heard of a name like 'AppleBloom', 'Scotaloo', or 'Sweetie Belle' either." I stated. "True, true..." said Scootaloo. "Now what?" I asked. All three crusaders made a 'Hmm' sound, thinking of what to do next. "Oh, oh!" Sweetie Belle interrupted the silence. "Why don't we take her to Princess Twilight?" she asked. "That's a great idea Sweetie!" said AppleBloom. "Twilight?" I asked, not cause I don't know who she is(which I do know her), but cause I read too many fan fictions knowing that of we do go to Twilight, she will go all 'New Species' on me. "Yeah, she might know how to take y'all home, and maybe make y'all bigger!" AppleBloom suggested. AppleBloom made a good pont on that one, and also on all those HIE(Human in Equestria) fanfics she just asks a whole bunch of questions, maybe take some samples from me, and that's pretty much it. 'Why not?' I thought. "You make a good point on that one AppleBloom, so let's head to Twilight's place." I said. "Then it's settled," AppleBloom said. Before I could ask they shouted in unison. "CUTIE MARK HUMAN HELPERS, YAY!!!" I covered my ears to late, and now I heard a slight ringing in my head. "ow..." I said a little pain in my tone. "Whoops! Sorry Avery." said Sweetie Belle. "I-it's ok. I might have lost a little in my hearing, but I'm good." I said standing up. Without warning, AppleBloom picked me up by my handkerchief, making me quickly grasp on the thing, and threw me in the air. I screamed at the sudden action, but felt myself land on a puff of hair, red hair to be exact. "Y'all alright?" AppleBloom asked. "I-I'm fine, but next time, can you warn me first?" I asked. "Sorry 'bout that. Just thought that y'all might not catch up if y'all walked on yer own." said AppleBloom. "Touché" I said. "Are ya ready?" asked Scootaloo. I grabbed on some strands of AppleBloom's mane first. "Ready." I said. "Oh! Wait! My things!" I pointed at the clothes and scattered items. "I'll hold them!" Sweetie Belle squeaked and galloped to my things, folding the clothes and putting the items back in the pockets. She placed them on her back, making sure that their still neatly folded. "There!" said Sweetie Belle. "Thanks, Sweetie Belle." I said with a smile on my face. "Okay, now are you ready?" asked Scootaloo again. I had a new grip on AppleBloom's strands then said 'Ready' Then immediately, all three of the crusaders started running towards the town, I felt that Ponyville wasn't ready to know I was here, so I buried under AppleBloom's mane, making sure that no part of me was noticed. 'I think that today is going to be one hectic day.' I thought. ~ I didn't really know how long it took, but it didn't really bother me, cause I was too busy seeing some ponies that I knew through AB's mane. I saw Lyra and Bon Bon on their famous bench, Rose, Lily, and Daisy working on their flower stands, Berry Punch sleeping on another bench, while having a bottle of AppleJack's Danielle's in her hooves, and many other mares and stallions on the street. What I didn't see was two special fillies coming towards the CMC. "Hey there, Blank Flanks!?" I heard a familiar snobbish voice call out. "Oh Fuck!" I whispered. "Oh, Howdy Diamond Tiara." I heard AppleBloom say in a unamused tone in her voice. "Like, where do you think your going?" asked a voice I knew belonged to Silver Spoon. I didn't make I move, trying not to be noticed. "Where just heading to the Golden Oaks Library to-" "Why would royalty have time with you losers?" "Well we we're going to-" "Well whatever your doing, I don't think that the Princess would have time for some Blank Flanks." Diamond said. It seemed that Lady Luck, was in for a surprise cause my nose started to feel itchy. 'Nononononononononono!' I thought as I took in a huge breathe. "Ya know what I think," I herd Diamond say. "I think that she would-" "AHHCHOO!" "What was that?" asked Diamond Tiara. "Shit!" I whispered. "N-nothing!" I heard Scootaloo say. "..." I heard no replies from neither bullies. It was silent, curiously got the best of me, and so I took a peek out of AB's mane. Next thing I knew, I saw two earth ponies, staring agape at me, while I had a poker face on. I started to slowly go back into AB's mane, but the bullies got to me first. "W-what is t-that thing!?" Silver Spoon asked, fear in her voice. "She's uhh... Friend of ours." Scootaloo said. "Like, obviously you would have an ugly pet like that." Diamond said, making me a bit irritated. "Y-yeah." said Silver Spoon. "She ain't a pet! She's a new friend of ours!" AppleBloom said a bit angrily. "Yeah!" said Scootaloo and Sweetie belle in unison. "Either way, that things looks like it came from the Everfree." stated Diamond. That threw me off the line and so I burst. "Listen hear you little Brat! I don't care how rich your father is! You need a good beating and even at my miniature size, I can make you eat those words! Heck! You don't even deserve that worthless cutie mark! I mean seriously! A Tiara as a cutie mark? That more worthless than some dumb Spoon on your ass! And I even bet that Silver isn't even your real friend, just that Silver is with you cause she won't get bullied herself! GOD! FUCK!" I ended the outburst with a dive into AB's mane once more. All was silent once more. I didn't see what happened, but I heard hooves slowly back up, then heard a much faster pace of hooves running. "Can we just get to Twilight now?" I asked under AB's mane. "Uhh... Sure." I heard Scootaloo say. The trio started to slowly walk through Ponyville once. Once we were at our destination, I heard a hoof knocking at a wooden surface. 'Here we go.' I thought as I heard a door open in front of me. > Chapter 2: Tests, tests, and guess what, MORE TESTS!! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Can I help you girls?" I heard Twilight ask. "Uh... Can we, um, speak in private Twilight?" asked AppleBloom. "Um, sure, I guess..." I felt the movement of AppleBloom going inside the library. Forgetting that I was hiding, I poked my head out, looking at my surroundings. "AHHHHH!! A RAT!!" I heard Twilight yell. Without a warning, I was slapped out of AB's mane by a magazine, levitated by Twilight, and was flying across the room, hitting a very thick book on the shelf. "Well greetings and salutations to you too Princess...ow" I said with pain in my voice. "It can talk!?" Twilight shouted. "AVERY!?" the CMC shouted while galloping to my body, now on the floor. Sweetie Belle dropped my things on the floor, but I knew she didn't care. I also saw Twilight levitating my things towards her face, examining the clothes and wallet. "Avery, are you ok?!" squeaked Sweetie Belle, tears starting to swell up. "I'm fine," I sat up cracking my back. "Just a little sore now," I rubbed the back of my head. " And maybe a slight headache." I said. I turned my head side to side, making a cracking sound, and also making the CMC even more worried. "Like I said, I'm fine." I said, making the CMC a little relaxed. Sweetie Belle gestured her hoof towards me and I hopped on. She lifted me up and was slowly walking to Twilight, who is now looking at my Bra. I saw a mean look on Sweetie's muzzle and I had I feeling that things are about to get messy. "TWILIGHT!?" Sweetie shouted. Twilight jumped at the sudden outburst. "How could you hurt Avery like that? She just wanted to look at the library and you just slapped her like some-some, bug! That's not how to treat guest at you home, especially if their new around Ponyville! Now I want you to apologize to Avery!" I was stunned on what Sweetie Belle said to Twilight; to a older mare; a Princess for peat sake. 'This mare got guts!' I thought. But I wasen't as stunned as Twilight. But she wasen't stunned at Sweetie's outburst, she was stunned at me. Seeing a new species right before her eyes. 'Saw this coming... Three... Two... One' I thought, counting down with my fingers. "S-Sweetie Belle? Where did you find that 'thing'?" she slowly pointed a hoof at me. "Apologize..." was all Sweetie said. "*Sigh* I'm sorry Avery. Now where did you find 'Avery'?" Twilight asked again. "We found her by the Everfree, Twilight... And we accidentally thought she was a mouse er sumthin'" said AppleBloom, a bit embarrassed. "She said she was a 'Human' or something." said Scootaloo. "Hmm... I never heard of a 'Human' before. Except one mare who's obsessed with them," 'I can probably guess who.' I thought with a smirk. "Let me check." As quick as her magic is, she levitated tons of books, surrounding her. Sweetie Belle places me on the center table, still watching and waiting for Twilight to finish. It took about half an hour or so to find a book regarding to my species existence. It was in a thick book, I had to jump out of the way so I won't get crushed. She flipped through the text, saying things under her breath that I couldn't hear. The silence was interrupted, again. "AhHa! Here we go! Modern humans (Homo sapiens or Homo sapiens sapiens) are the only remaining species of the hominids, a branch of great apes characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; manual dexterity, sociality and tool use; and a general trend toward larger and more complex brains. Early hominids, such as the australopithecines who had more apelike brains and skulls, are less often thought of or referred to as "human" than hominids of the genus Homo..." I was bored by the fancy wordplay that I started thinking of what was going on. "*Sigh*" 'So this my life now right? Surrounded my favorite multi-colored equines that are super sweet and happy... If it's all lollipops and rainbows than I just can't survive this place!' "Avery?" I jumped at the interruption of my inner thoughts, to see all eyes were on me. "Y-yes?" I asked. "Is it ok if I run a few tests on you?" 'So called it!' "Uh, sure. Whatever floats your boat, Twilight." I said, seeing a eager grin plastered on Twilight's muzzle. "Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!" I saw Twilight jumping around the table with the biggest grin she could make. 'Yeah. What could possibly go wrong?' I asked myself. ~ "DAMIT! WHY DID I HAVE TO THINK THAT?!" I shouted while trying to out-run a flying owl, that constantly dives in for the kill. "Y'all can do it Avery!" I heard AppleBloom cheer. "AB, I'M NOT A FUCKING ATHLETE, HELP!!" I ducked from Owlicious Talons and went between a wedge of books on the bottom of the shelf. Owlicious tried reaching for me, but I was far from her reach. A heard him give a 'Hoo' to say that he gave up. I got out from the wedge to see the CMC with grins on their muzzles and Twilight making notes on my actions. "Please tell me that's the last one. We've been doing this four times already! What are you trying to prove?" I asked "Oh! I'm sorry Avery. I was just testing your actions if you were in a deadly situation. It seems that you would find an escape route than try to fight head on. Why is that?" Twilight asked. "Well, I've never been in combat before, and I don't know how to fight." I said. "Oh! Well that makes things more understandable." she said. "Can we just do to Q & A please?" I asked. "Certenly." she replied. "Thank GOD!" I said in exhaustion. ~ "Let's see. Avery do you want me to ask personal questions or simple questions?" asked Twilight. "I'm ok with whichever questions you ask." I answered. "Okay then. First question, what is your full name?" "Avery Gantert." "How old are you?" "18" "Where did you live?" "Peekskill, New York." "Did you live alone, with parent, what?" "I lived alone in an apartment." "Is there magic on your planet?" "Only stage, light and dark magic." "Can you explain them to me?" "Well, stage magic is just illusions, smoke, mirrors, like magician acts. Light magic im not sure about, but I know dark magic is like helping yourself, but with the devil." "Okay, here's the next question," ~ So far all day was questions and tests on me, the last test she did was to see if there was any magic within me, their was, but very little, but I didn't care really. After the third test I did, the CMC had to leave before the sun sets, they said their goodbyes and so did I, they said that they would come back to check on me tomorrow so that we could have fun. I gladly accepted that invite. Also sometimes I saw a pink pony pass by, but nothing else. I asked Twilight if I could stay the night, she said yes, but before I did anything else, I had to take a bath first. I asked Twilight to get me a small bowl of warm water, saying that I need to wash myself, she gladly did what I asked her to do and she left me some soap, leaving the room as she did. I told her about the whole 'why humans were clothes' and the 'human need privacy' thing to Twilight beforehand so she won't find out later. I laid in the warm bowl of water and just stayed in there, not moving. I then grabbed a piece of the soap and started scrubbing myself. (ya know all those places) and afterwards, rinsed it off. Feeling the clean freshness that came with it. I finally Got out the bowl and dried myself. I put on a new handkerchief (Twilight was going to take me to see Rarity about the clothes thing) and wrapped myself around it. I grabbed the edges and made sure to tuck them in. It took me awhile, but I got to Twilight's room, seeing how peaceful the room looked. I pulled out a random book from the bottom shelf and opened it to the center. I climbed to Twilight's desk and pulled two tissues from the tissue box, bring them with me to the open book. I used the tissues as my quilt and the open book as my bed, I also had a cotton ball as a pillow. 'Doing this while thing reminds me of that movie "The Secret World Of Arrietty"' I thought setting up my bed. 'But why do I feel that I'm forgetting something?' I thought as I drifted off to sleep. ~ While everypony in the library were in a deep sleep, no one noticed a small dragon come through the library door. "Rarity really need an assistant or something," Spike said to himself. "Those errands that Rarity wanted me to do took me all day... Oh well." he said in fatigue. He walked up the stairs to his bed room to see a sleeping Princess. He noticed an opened book on the floor. 'Guess Twilight over-read again,' Spike thought, picking up the book, while also not noticing a tiny sleeping human inside. He slowly closed the book and gently placed it on Twilight's desk. 'She'll thank me in the morning, Spike thought. 'Now to go get some shut eye!' Spikes final thoughts came when he hopped in his bed, drifting to dragony slumber. > Chapter 3: One Rude Awakening > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up with a satisfied grin on her muzzle, treaching her hooves and cracking her neck. Of corse she went to the bathroom before she could tackle the day. She passed by the book on her desk, eyeing it first. 'I don't remember taking this out,' Twilight thought. 'Well, whoever took it out has trange taste in books, "Magic within you, How to conceive it step by step"' "Hmm..." Twilight placed the book in the shelf, not hearing a little squeak coming from the book, and went into the bathroom, closing and locking the door 'A mare need privacy don't she?' she thought to herself. What she also didn't see was a scared and frantic little owl searching all over the library for someone. ~ I woke up by the itch in my nose and the sudden sneeze I did. "Ugh! I feel like I just had a hangover..." I said to myself. I didn't noticed that the book I was sleeping on was closed and also back on the shelf. (I'm a heavy sleeper, nothing can wake me up!) I tried to get up, but I was pinned between two sheets of book paper. 'Wait! What the..?' I couldn't move, and I started getting scared. "Wh-where am I!? What's going on?" I said with a nervous tone in my voice. "H-help! I can't move! Anybody!?" I shouted, feeling sweat come down my forehead. I started hearing a flap of wings and I felt the book next to me being pulled out. "O-other one!" I shouted at my savior. Next thing I knew, the book started to slowly be pulled out from its hiding place. I couldn't see what was happening, but I felt the book being slowly put down. I quickly crawled out from my nightmare of a bed and saw who was my savior. It was Owlicious. I ran up to him and hugged him, say 'Thank you' repeatitly under my breathe. Owlicious replied with a 'Hoo' and wrapped his wings around me, comforting me. 'Now I LOVE Owls.' I thought. The hug was interrupted by a familiar voice I knew. "Hey Owlicious, what you got there? A mouse?" "Hoo" was all Owlicious said before letting go of the hug, showing my presence to the drake. "Woah! What is that?" Spike said. Before I could reply, I was picked up from the handkerchief, making me give a good grip on it. "Is it a bug or something? It's smaller than Peewee." Spike said. He tried to take the handkerchief off me, but I had an even tighter grip than before. "I just wanna know what your hiding little guy." Spike said, tugging even harder. I started losing grip of the handkerchief and got nervous. "H-hey! Stop that! I need this!" The sudden speaking of the creature before him mad Spike drop me, but before I could hit the ground, Owlicious caught me with his wings and slowly placed me on the floor. "Thanks." The Owl just gave a light nod. "You can talk!?" Spike asked franticly. "Yes I can and the names Avery! I need this thing cause its really odd not wearing anything." I said a little angrily. "Oh, sorry Avery. Just got curious." Spike replied. "It's ok, just a little grumpy from waking up." "Why? Woke up from the wrong side of the bed?" asked Spike. "You could say that. I was sleeping in an open book and woke up trapped within a book, literally." Spike didn't give a response, having a stunned look on his face. I started seeing tears starting to from on his eyes. Before I could ask if he was alright, he burst into sobs and started shouting. "I'M SO SORRY AVERY!! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THEIR AND I PUT THE BOOK AWAY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU, AND, AND..." he couldn't say anything else cause he kept on crying. I was confused by the sudden outburst, but I knew he needed a shoulder to cry on... A small shoulder to be specific. "Shh, shh, it's okay, it was just a accident, no harm, no foul." I said in a friendly tone. "But, but, you might have gotten hurt." Spike said. "But I didn't. Now who needs a hug?" I asked. I regretted saying that, cause Spike yanked me up in a hard hug, now crying tears of joy. "T-thank you." I heard Spike say under his breath. I didn't respond, just tried to hug him back. After what felt like forever, I tapped Spike's arm. "Huh? What's wrong?" "C-can't b-breathe!" I said, struggling for air. "Oh! Sorry Avery." Spike apologized, putting me down. As if on cue, I saw Twilight coming out of the bathroom, looking refreshed. "Morning Spike! I see that you already met Avery," Twilight noticed some excess tears coming out of his eyes. "Spike? Are you alright?" "Just a little problem solved." I answered for him. "Ok," but before anyone could speak further, a very hearable stomach growl came from me. I blushed in embarrassment, but that made everyone in the room in a good mood. "It seems that somepony is hungary," stated Twilight. "Heh, what made you guess that?" I said in a sly tone in my voice. That made Twilight give a little giggle and she started levitating me. It felt odd, a slight tingle at first, but nothing else. It felt like I was in space, floating, I grinned at that and didn't notice that Twilight put me down. "So who's up for some Daffodil and Daisy Sandwiches?" asked Spike. "Uh," I was about to explain Spike that humans can't eat that, but Twilight beat me to it. "Um, Spike? Humans can't eat flowers like me and you. Something about their digestive system?" Twilight turned to me. I just nodded. "Oh! Well how about waffles instead?" "That I can eat." I said a little eagerly than anticipated. Both Spike and Twilight walked into the kitchen, getting started with the batter and waffle iron. I didn't know why, but I wanted to help. I jumped off the table, regretting it as the pain in my let's came to me when I made contact to the floor. Even with the pain in my legs, I ran into the kitchen, seeing what I could do to help. I saw that no one was stirring the batter in the bowl, and so forth headed to the bowl. I climbed up the counter with ease,(let's just say I climbed way to many trees in my childhood) I got to the top and saw that the bowl was slightly taller than me, but I didn't care. I got on the edge of the bowl and reached for the wooden spoon. I started stirring, not noticing two pair of eyes starring at me. When I did I gave a poker face, just staring back, but still stirring. "What? U Mad?" I asked with a goofy grin on. "H-how can you even do that!? I creature you size would have trouble stirring that!" said Twilight. "Oh! I didn't tell you, it seems that my strength didn't change either with my belongings." I said. "THAT'S IT!" shouted Twilight. "What's it?" both me and Spike said in unison. "The little bit of magic. That's what it was! Wait! Hold on!" Twilight said. Before me or Spike can speak, Twilight had a test tube and a sowing needle in her magic aura. "Can I get a blood sample?" asked Twilight. 'Saw this coming as well,' I thought. "Sure Twilight." I grabbed the pin, seeing that it was the size of a sword to me, and slowly pricked my pointer finger. I let the blood drip into the test tube as Twilight pulled the tube towards me. What I saw next surprised me. I saw that as my drop of blood came down, the drop got bigger and bigger. It really freaked me out. "I KNEW IT!" Twilight shouted. "It seems that only your outer body has changed is size, but not you inside, like your blood and muscle strength. This is so interesting!" Twilight squealed. But before the scientist continued. I interrupted her. "Ahem!" both looked at me. "I know this is all new and interesting, but can we please continue making breakfast please?" I ask, giving another grumble from my stomach. "Oh! Sorry Avery. Yes let's." And so we continued making breakfast, while Twilight put away her test tube. "Hey, um, Twilight?" I said getting her attention. "Yeah, Avery?" she replied. "C-can I keep the needle?" I asked. "Why?" "Well, to me it feels like a sword. I like the way it feels. Can I?" I said. "Sure Avery, you can keep it. Maybe you can actually use it as a sword. I can help you if you want." said Twilight. "Thanks, Twilight!" I took a piece of the cloth I was wearing and put the needle through it, making sure that I don't accidently hurt myself. It didn't slip through cause it was one of those needles with a white orb at the end, making it more cooler to me. I watched as Twilight started setting up the table, and noticed my phone on the table. Spike told me he could handle the rest and so I left the kitchen. I climbed up the table and walked over to my phone. I pressed the gem sicker and it turned on the screen. I swiped the screen and put in my passcode, letting the apps pop open. I didn't know why or how, but there was reception in the library. I looked at my text message and Facebook profile to see tons of text messages, asking what happened, where am I, and if I'm alright. I replied to most of them, saying that something came up, don't know, and saying that I'm fine. I saw some missing photos of my profile picture, saying that I was kidnapped, killed, or just a run away. I just ignored the photos and turned off the phone. I didn't notice that two pair of eyes were starring at me, waiting for me. Twilight interrupted my phone time with a 'Ahem!", which made be jump. I started blushing while looking up at the Alicorn. "S-sorry, Twilight. Just wanted to check on something." "It's alright, Avery. Sometimes Twilight is like that when she reads a book." Spike stated. "It's not my fault that I'm a geek for books. I was born like that." Twilight said, making me and Spike laugh. I didn't know how, but Spike made a waffle for my size. It looked so cute and delicious just laying on the plastic plate, (From an old pony playhouse toy Twilight has as a filly) I picked up the fork (also from the playhouse toy) and dived in, eating every piece of the waffle. I ignored the odd stares cause I was starving, I ate everything, even the syrup that was left behind. When I was finished, I looked up with a slight blush in my cheeks. "Hehe... Guess I was really hungry." I said embarrassed. "What made you guess that?" Twilight responded. After Twilight and Spike finished their waffles, Twilight had the idea if introducing me to her friends (Who I already knew from the show) and I agreed to meet them. We were going to meet them in this order: First Rarity (For the clothes), then Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and lastly, Pinkie Pie. Spike wanted to come cause of Rarity, 'Obviously,' but Twilight gave him some chores to do in the library, so he had to stay. Twilight levitated me to her head and told me to grab onto her horn. At first I was thinking dirty thoughts on what would happen if I held onto Twilight's horn, but nothing really happened. As we went out the door, I saw some ponies bowing down towards Twilight, but didn't noticed me. ~ It took awhile, but we arrived at the Carousel Boutique. It was bigger to me, and looked cute at the same time. Twilight walked inside, making the bell ring as the door opened. "Coming~" I heard the sing-song voice of Rarity. I saw her walking down the room, looking at Twilight with a friendly grin. "Hello Twilight, Darling." Rarity said. "Hello Rarity. Um, do you think you have some time to meet a new friend?" Twilight asked. I watched as Rarity looked behind Twilight to see this new guest, but nopony was their. "Well I would love to, but where is this 'New Friend' you speak of, Darling?" Rarity asked. "Come on Avery. Don't be shy." Twilight said looking on her head, making Rarity more confused. I had no other choice, but to slowly pop my head out from Twilight's mane. Rarity had a stunned look on her face. Everything was silent until I broke the ice. "H-hi?" "It can Talk!?" Rarity said. I had a unamused look on my face, hearing that for the third or fourth time since I got here. "Yes... I can talk." I said. "You see Rarity," Twilight had Rarity's attention now. "Avery needs clothes, since she'd one of those creatures that were clothes 24/7 and she's just-" "REALLY!?" shouted Rarity. She didn't ask for a reply, cause next thing a knew, I was being levitated and measured at the same time. 'That was fast,' I thought. The rest of the morning continued with trying on new clothes that Rarity made pretty fast.(Obviously being cause of not really needing lot's if cloth to make my clothes) Some were cute, some were normal, and some looked fancy or epic(Both looking good on me) and their was a small pile of tiny outfits on the side. (It made Twilight giggle at how tiny they were) Only once did Opal thought of me as breakfast for her, but when I gave her a little scratch with the needle, she left me alone. And when we left, I was wearing I white short sleeve with blue jeans and a pixel patterned sweater covering the white shirt. 'Today is gunna be a busy day today.' I thought. > Chapter 4: "Buy Some Apples!" > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we were walking through Ponyville, some mares and stallions noticed me, but they just eyed me, but nothing else. We were walking through the market place, seeing all the items and goodies being sold to ponies. "So~ What are we doing here?" I asked curiously. "Oh! Well my friend Applejack, sells her apples here at this time." Twilight answered. "Hmm..." "What is it?" "Wait! 3... 2... 1," "Buy Some Apples!" I heard a southern young voice call out. I saw that Apple Bloom was trying to let ponies buy some apples, but no avail. Every time she walks up to a pony, they either walk away or just gallop off to who-knows-where, making the little filly upset. I also saw a orange mare standing in the stand, having a bad poker face on. I had a clever idea, and without hesitation, I hopped off Twilights back. "Avery?" I heard Twilight say. I ignored Twilight, seeing her flip out, making a whole 360 degree spin. Panicking and looking around herself. I was running towards a random female pony,(Who was Bon Bon) making sure she won't notice me. I gave a huge jump on her tail, burying within her hair. I crawled very slowly to the mares ear, her still not noticing, and stared talking wistfully into her ere "Psst!" Bon Bon turned her head, thinking somepony was next to her. "It's me, your brain." "Really?" "Yep! Anyways, you see that little filly over there?" The mare turned her head towards Apple Bloom. "Yeah, what about her?" "You see how upset she is, not helping her sister sell some apples?" "Yeah..." "Do you wanna help that little filly?" "... Yeah." "Well you can, if you buy some apples from her." "B-but I have enough apples at home." "But as many people say in the city, enough is never enough!" "I guess your- Hey! Wait a minute; 'people'?" "Slip of the tough! Anyways, maybe those apples might give you inspiration for your candy company." "Really!" "Of course! Would I lie to me?" "..." "Anywho, all I'm suggesting is for you to buy those apples and make that filly happy." "Ok then! I'll do it." And with unknown energy, Bon Bon ran to the stall, and bought a whole container of apples. Also while she was galopping to the stall, I jumped off of Bon Bon, and onto Apple Bloom. I crawled to her ear and shouted. "HEY APPLE BLOOM!!" "AHHHHH!!!" Apple Bloom jumped and landed on her back, while I was grasping onto her mane. I was right in front of her, swinging on her mane back-and-forth. When she saw me, instead of being angry or upset at me, she had a huge grin on her muzzle and grabed me into a tight hug. "AVERY!" AB shouted. "ow..." I said quietly. I saw Twilight walking over to us, seeing me, and giving me an angry glare. Apple Bloom placed me on the ground and walked to Apple Jack, probably telling her that I was here. "Avery! Why did you just disappeared like that? Somepony could've stepped on you." Twilight stated. "But they didn't!" I retorted with a smug grin. "Ugh!" Was all Twilight said before levitating me back on her mane. I saw that Apple Bloom was coming back with her sister, seeing that Apple Jack was I little irritated. "Sis! Sis! Mah friend Avery is here! I want y'all to meet her." Apple Bloom said. "Apple Bloom! Ah don't know who this Avery mare ya keep talkin' 'bout, but whoever this mare is, ah want y'all ta stop talkin' 'bout her. Is she sum new filly at yer school er sumthin'?" I herd Apple Jack say. "But sis! She ain't a pony, she a human." Apple Bloom said. "Apple Bloom. You know that they don't exist right? There nuthin' but an old ponies tail." Apple Jack said. "WRONG!!!" I shouted, at random. "Wut in tarnation!" Apple Jack yelled in shock. We all just stayed their, looking at each other blankly. I was about to break the ice again, but Apple Jack beat me to it, by making a low whistle. "Ah just thought that mah granny was just makin' up stories 'bout y'all, but mah granny neva said they were as small as yer..." Apple Jack said. "What did your granny say about us then?" I asked. "She usta' told me an' Big Mac that y'all were as tall as Princess Celestia herself," Apple Jack said. "Not that I think that yer size is bad tho." "Well, this isn't really my size you see-" "Did Twilight do sum sort o' spell on ya?" Apple Jack asked, making me and AB laugh and Twilight facehoof. "No AJ, I woke up like this yesterday and I know that if I was my normal size, I would be taller than all of yuse! But shorter than Celestia." I said. "Well, any friend o' Apple Bloom an' Twilight, is a friend in mah book. Howdy there!" Our conversation was interrupted by a light grumble in my stomach, and me holding it and blushing. "S-sorry... Just a little hungry after visiting Rarity." I said. "Ya visit Rarity? I bet she made y'all them nice outfits." AJ said. "Yeah. None of my clothes fit me anymore, so we met Rarity first. To tell you the truth, when I arrived, I wore a handkerchief like a towel." I said with a wide grin. It just made AJ giggle a little. "Well since y'all are a lil hungry, why don't I give ya an apple slice then." "Oh, really? You don't have to." "Nah, it's alright, sugarcube!" Before I could protest, Apple Jack went to the stall, grabbed a red apple, and used an apple slicer on the apple, making it cut to perfect slices. She gave one to Twilight, Apple Bloom, and me. Seeing that Twilight and AB finished their's in one bite, I finally took a bit of mines, and I think that my eyes dilated at the sweet taste. "Are you alright, Sugarcube?" I heard AJ ask. "This... IS THE BEST FUCKING APPLE I EVER TASTED!!" I shouted, eating more of it. "The taste, the texture, the juice, it heaven within an apple! I love it! Oh my god this is the best thing ever." I said, hugging the apple slice, and also making all three mares stare at me awkwardly. After that fantastic apple slice incident, we stared making conversation to each other, talking about my world and vice versa. Sadly, though, we had to continue on our journey making our way to some kind of grass area. While we were walking away, I couldn't notice a dark pink puff of hair popping out under Apple Jack's stall. But I just ignored it, seeing a cloud house floating above us, and also being memorized by the rainbow water stuff dripping off the edge of the house. 'Won't Rainbow be surprised at me.' I thought, before seeing myself being flown off of Twilights mane. 'Oh Shit!' > Chapter 5: A Dash of Loyalty > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Oh Shit!' I thought, while feeling myself fall off of Twilight's head. "Avery!" Twilight shouted, grabbing me within her magic grasp. "Thanks," I said. "What was that anyways?" "I think you mean 'Who'." Twilight said, looking up. I looked up to see a rainbow tail hanging off a cloud above us. I also saw a pair of magenta eyes looking strait at me. 'Really?' I thought. "Rainbow, can you get down here?" Twilight asked. "Hold on a sec." I heard Rainbow say. Then as quick as a flash, I was out of Twilight's magic grasp, hanging upside-down, with one of the sneakers that Rarity made in Rainbow's hoof grasp. "Sorry Twilight. Saw you holding a bug and wanted to check it out." Rainbow said, making me a little irritated. "Uh, Rainbow, that's not a bug. It's a-" "Is it a Parasprite!? Don't worry, I'll send this piece of filth back to the Everfree for you!" Then I was in Rainbow's hooves, in a throwing position. 'Oh Crap!' "H-hey! I ain't no Parasprite dude!" "What the! This one can talk? That's even worse!" "I'm not a PARASPRITE!" I shouted, making the blue mare drop me. But before I could hit the ground, Twilight grabbed me with her wing. "Thanks, again." "Twilight? What kind of sick thing did you summon again? The last time you did that you brought one of Fluttershy's Bear friends in your bedroom." Rainbow said, making me giggle at the sight of a bear in the library, pissed. I saw that Twilight was giving me a angry glare, I just responded with an innocent grin. "Woh! Look at those teeth!" Rainbow was eyeing my grin, while I was upside-down in her grasp, again. "What about them?" I asked. "I saw those Vamppony teeth! Do you eat meat?" Rainbow demanded. "Y-yeah?" "Do you eat ponies?" That question made me confused. "Why would I? Where I come from, it's illegal to, but it's vice versa to have sex with one... Hmm... I wonder why." I didn't notice that there was two mares looking at me with slight disgust of that random fact I gave out, but when I did, I could tell that my whole face was red. "W-wait, I didn't mean th-that! I-I'm sorry, that was u-uncalled for!" 'If anime logic was here, my face would be as red as a strawberry' I thought, still blushing with embarrassment. "I'll say," Rainbow said. "Wherever you came from, I do not wanna visit." "I don't blame you." I said more relaxed. "Anyways, so you say that your kind doesn't eat ponies, but what do they eat?" Rainbow asked. "W-well, we eat pork, beef, chicken, and fish. But we also eat fruits and veggies and also nuts and dairy." I answered. "..." Rainbow then put me back on Twilight's mane, but still kept an eye on me. "On another note," Twilight interrupted the silence. "This is Avery, she's from a different world." "More like a different dimension" I said out-loud. "What's that supposed to mean?" Rainbow eyed me. "I'll explain it later." "I want you to explain it NOW!" Rainbow shouted at my face, grabbing me again. 'What's with her and grabbing me?' I thought. I got slightly scared. "B-But," "Rainbow! What's wrong with you!?" "N-nothing! Just a little on the edge after work." "I know how that feels." I said. "How?" She asked. "Back in my world, my job is an Animator and Voice Over. It's hard doing two things for a living, and I know you only have to kick a few clouds in the sky and that's it." "Well this time I had to do a whole field, thanks to Derpy forgetting to turn off the cloud maker, again." She said, slightly aggravated. "There, there," I climbed on her mane and started petting her. (I have no idea why though, just felt right) "It's not your fault that your stressed out. I mean, yeah, your the one stressed, but I know what will relive you of this pain." "What?" She asked, looking upon her head. "A day at the spa. But I know that a tomboyish mare like you is too cool for that." "Yeah your right, but the spa sounds good right about now." "I think that all you really need is a massage and you will be back to your cool, awesome self again." "Yeah! Your right! Thanks Avery. At first I thought you were going to be really weird, but now, your cool in my book." That insult/ complement put a smile on my face, and Rainbow put me down on the grass. "Now if you don't mind, I have a secret meeting with a massage mare at the spa." Then without another word, she flew to her cloud house, then dashed to the town, towards the spa building. "I never knew that this day would come," Twilight said, looking towards the direction Rainbow went. "Rainbow Dash, going to the Spa, without any help... How did you do it?" She asked looking down at me. "Let's just say I hang out with too many people like her." I said, looking at my nails, trying to look unimpressed. "I know her weak spots." I said with pride. "Oh! I forgot to ask, hey Twilight?" "Yes?" "Do you suppose to know a spell to make me bigger by the way?" "I don't think so. Maybe when we go back to the library I may look up a spell like that." "Oh, okay..." I said a little disappointed. "It's okay Avery. I don't know any mares or stallions who are in your situation, so your lucky that you get to experience it, first-hoof." Twilight said with a small smile. "Yeah, thanks for cheering me up." I said, giving a smile back. Twilight gestured her hoof towards me and I hopped on. She placed me on her mane once more, and we were on our way to the town once more. ~Meanwhile~ "Ahh~" Rainbow said in satisfaction in her tone. Rainbow was getting a massage, making all of her stress and worries melt away. "Are you enjoying you appointment Miss Dash?" A voice asked. "Yes~!" Rainbow answered. "I-if this keeps on going I-I might," She couldn't finish her sentence cause she fell asleep. "Oh Rainbow Dash. I knew this day would come, that's why I brought this." said the voice again. Rarity was in the spa, holding a camera, and taking pictures of the sleeping pegasus. "I know that when I show her these, she will me begging for them back. And it's all thanks to Avery." Rarity gave a giggle at her dark antics and continued taking tons of pictures of the sleeping mare before her. Some of the Spa employees were giggling with the unicorn, but continued on with their jobs. "Now let's put some make-up on this pretty-pretty Pegasus." Rarity said, pulling out a make-up case. 'This'll be quite fun!' Rarity thought, putting some fake eye-lashes on the poor sleeping Pegasus. > Chapter 6: Lions, Tigers and Bunnies? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey, Avery? I know this might be sudden, but how are you feeling on meeting Princess Celestia?" "I'm cool with that." "R-really?" "Yeah! Meeting royalty seems cool. And I know that your princess is a nice gal." "O-ok." It seems that Twilight sent a message to her Princess about me appearing in Ponyville, and it seems that she wants to meet me before anything else. But I guessed that either Celestia or Twilight made the decision on meeting the other 5 element bearers first before royalty. "Also, Avery? I was thinking of asking a few new questions and tests when we get back to the Library, alright?" "Do I have a choice?" "Only if some tests and samples your not comfortable with." "Okay then," As we were getting closer to Fluttershy's Cottage, I could've sworn that I saw a pink blur ran right past me. I turned around to see nothing but grass and trees as far as the eye could see. I didn't have any other choice but to just let it pass by, forgetting about the pink blur. We were walking to the back of the Cottage, don't know why though, until I saw that Fluttershy was in the center of the field, singing. And she was singing one of my favorite songs from the show. 'Music in the Treetops.' I thought, with a small smile. "There's music in the treetops And there's music in the vale And all around the music fills the sky There's music by the river And there's music in the grass And the music makes your heart soar in reply" Than throughout the rest, she was just vocalizing, making sweet tunes that I can sometimes make. (Sometimes!) I was so caught up in her singing, that I didn't realize that I was thinking out loud. "Fluttershy... You are just too perfect for this world." "Huh?" Fluttershy then noticed me and Twilight standing there, listening to her heavenly voice. When she saw me, she flew faster than Rainbow and picked me up, knocking me out if my dreamy daze. "Why hello there, little creature." "Uh..." "No need to worry, little one. I'll help you get back to your home with your mama and papa." Then Twilight interrupted. "Um, Fluttershy?" "Hmm? Oh! I-I'm sorry Twilight! I didn't know that it belonged to you. Here," Fluttershy then leaned me towards Twilight. "Actually, Fluttershy. This is the new friend that I wanted you to meet. I can see that you really like Avery." "A-Avery? I've never heard of a animal like that." "She's not an animal Fluttershy. Where she comes from, her spices is like us, but a bit improved." "Oh! I-I guess that's her name then." "Yes it is. And if you wanna know what I am, I'm a 'Human'" I finally spoke. "By the way, you have such a heavenly voice! It's too bad that you have stage fright." When I finally realized what I said, I slapped my mouth shut and saw that both mares have curios stares at me. "H-how did you know of my stage fright? Did you tell her?" she asked, turning towards Twilight. "I didn't tell her anything about that. Do you know more than you stated?" Twilight glared at me. 'Crap!' I thought. "I, uh, w-what I meant was- I kinda- well sorta, Damit!" I then covered my eyes within my hand and sighed in defeat. "Okay," I finally spoke, sill covering my eyes. "But before I tell, can we just see Pinkie and I'll tell you and everyone else at the party." "Party?" Twilight said. I heard a loud 'WHAT!' from the mare of the hour and saw Pinkie bounding towards us, with a cute pouty face on her muzzle. "How did you know of the Super-Duper Surprise Party?" Pinkie asked. "Like I said, I'll explain it all at the party. But don't worry Pinkie, I don't know nothing else, so you can do anything surprising at the party." "Yes!" It was a short, greeting from Fluttershy and Pinkie, but I knew that I could connect more to both of them at the party. What I didn't expect was a white bunny behind me (And I was still on Twilight's head). As if it was animal instincts, I grabbed the bunny by the paw, and locked it into a chokehold. I didn't know why, or how, but I sorta blacked out doing that. But I regained compositor when I heard Fluttershy shout 'ANGEL!' and saw three pair of eyes looking at me. (One being Twilight looking up) "Huh?" I saw that I had Angel in a chokehold. "W-what did you do to Angel!?" Fluttershy asked, tears starting to form. I let go of the chokehold, letting Angel breath. "I, uh." Was all I could muster up. 'What did I just do?' "I thought you said you've never been in combat, Avery. Did you lie?" Twilight asked, having a angered expression on her muzzle. "N-no. I'm sure that I've never been in combat, ever!" "Hmm..." Then Pinkie spoke. "Ooo! Didja see her eyes change colors? It was super-duper cool." "My eyes... c-changed colors?" I asked. "Yep! At first it was a cute brown and blue eye color, and when you did that epic move, your eyes became red and the pupils looked slit." 'Oh Fuck! That's how it happened!' I thought. I didn't want them to know my secret, so I acted like that never happened to me. "Well, that never happened before." I stated. "It seems that I need to run a few more tests than before." Twilight said. "O-ok." Fluttershy then picked up Angel, seeing that he was giving me a death glare. "N-no hard feelings?" I asked. He did nothing but glared at me even more. 'H-how will that demon bunny get me back?' I thought, nervously. ~ We arrived at Twilight's library, seeing that all the lights inside were off. When Twilight opened the door, all the lights went on and a shout 'Surprise!' came from the hundreds of ponies within the Tree-House (or is it House-Tree?) Either way, I was surprised. (even if I knew this was coming.) > Chapter 7: Gifts are Worth Getting > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The party was in full swing. At first the townsponies were a little confused, since first, I was a completely new spices, and second, my size was something to be surprised about. But Pinkie stopped the amused stares by starting the record. It was no surprise that the first mare to walk up to us was 'the' Lyra Heartstrings. At first she just starred at me, then flooded me with questions about humans. 'No surprise.' I thought. But before I could answer any of her questions, Bon Bon stepped in, stopping the unicorn, and dragging her away from us. It was about a half an hour at the party, everypony was either dancing, eating, or just chatting. I was sitting on the center table, bored out of my mind. Not to be Ms. Lame'o here, but I don't really like parties. It's either I don't go to parties that often, or when I do, I just sit in the corner, messing with my phone. Pinkie wanted me to dance, but Twilight didn't want me to be crushed on the dance floor. 'Not like I wanted to anyways.' And most of the time I stayed on the center table. I thought of going to Twilight's room and just wait until the party was over, but Pinkie had other plans. She gathered everypony to the table I was sitting on and came up with a few small presents and one big one. 'Damn!' I thought as I saw the huge box. Obviously, the box was towering over me and I got a little curious what would be in it. "P-Pinkie? What are these?" I asked. "There presents silly!" "What I mea was, really, why?" "Well, since your a new species, I had to throw you a 'Welcome-to-Equestria-new-creature!' party. And while I was setting up I realized that you didn't get any alternate-dimension-warming gifts from anypony. And me and my friends got you some." Pinkie explained, ending with a grin. "R-really? Thanks." I said with a small smile. I walked over to one of the small presents, seeing a rectangular-shaped box that had a stripped patterned wrapping. I picked it up, while also sitting down, legs crossed, also seeing a small tag saying that it was from Rarity. I quickly unwrapped it, seeing the box was white. I opened the lid, seeing a pair of pink fluffy pajama pants and a loose t-shirt you would wear with your PJ's. The shirt had all six of there cutie marks. "Thanks' Rarity. I was rather worried that I would have to wear my clothes again to go to sleep." "Oh, no worries darling. I heard from Lyra that humans need pajamas to sleep and that seemed like the perfect gift." "Well, Thanks' again." I got up and walked to the next box. I saw that the box was slightly bigger than me, and that the box also had some holes as well. Before I unwrapped it, Fluttershy interrupted me. "Um, Avery? Can you, um, get on the box? Th-then pull the bow, please? I mean if you want to, that is..." "Oh! Ok then?" I then got levitated by Twilight on top of the box. I counted to three in my head then yanked the bow on top. What I didn't expect was the box to give out on me, making me squeak in surprise. I didn't know what I was on, but it was alive and fluffy. I looked to see that I was sitting on a white mouse, like a horse. The mouse looked up at me, giving me a confused glance, I just shrugged in response. "H-his name is Buttons, he's super sweet and kind. I know that you'll be the best of friends." Fluttershy explained. "Thank you, Fluttershy." I scratched Button's ear, which made him lift his back paw, making the other six giggle at the sight. I quickly got off of Button, and walked to the next present. Button also followed. I saw that the next present was in the shape of a picture frame. The wrapping was plain blue with a red and yellow stripped string around it. I gently undid the string, then shredded the wrapping like a wild girl. When I was finally finished unwrapping it, I saw that it was a signed photo of Rainbow Dash. Somehow, The photo was taken at the right moment when Rainbow does her signature Sonic Rainboom, with her having a accomplished grin on her muzzle. It was signed 'Reach for the Sky!' and stamped on was Rainbow Dashes' cutie mark. "Thanks' Rainbow." "No prob." We fist/hoove bumped and then continued on with the other gifts. I walked to the next present, which was in the shape of a book. The wrapping was colored violet and the bow was pink. I effortlessly unwrapped the gift, seeing the first Daring Do Book of the series. "Really, Twilight? I thought you were going to give me a book on Equestrian History or something." "Well, you seemed like the type that might like books that appeal to your adventurous personality." Twilight explained. "Well, thanks' for the book, I might not be able to put it down when I start reading." I stated. "Oh believe me, that book is so worth it." Rainbow butted in. I hopped off the book and went to the next gift. This one had a green wrapping and tied with a red bow. I quickly unwrapped it to see a tiny, but puffy quilt. The quilt itself had apple imprints on the green-colored squares on the quilt, I also saw a mini wrapped Zap Apple Jam container. "We had to use one o' Apple Blooms' toy jars to put the Zap Apple jam inside." Applejack Stated. "It's ok, AJ. I really appreciate it though." I snuggled the quilt. "It's so soft~." I quickly placed the quilt and mini-jar on the table and went to the last gift, that was also the biggest. The box was just pink itself. I tried to unwrap it, but it would take longer than usual. (let's just say it was too big for me to unwrap on my own) Pinkie gladly insisted on unwrapping the huge gift, and what I saw, stunned me for life. Right before my very eyes, stood a doll-house. The stun look, still on my face. Seeing Pinkie, with a huge grin on her face watched as I touched the house, to see if it was real. 'Damn!' "H-how did you make this?" I asked Pinkie. 'First, did she even make it? And second, why does it look so familiar?' "Well~. Oneday,whenitwastimefortheBreeziestoflyby,someofthemgotlostandsoFluttershysavedthemandbroughtthemhometoheal.Buttheytookwaytoolongtoheal,soithought'hey!Whydon'ticreateasuper-duperhouseinwhichtheBreeziescanhealfaster.Butbythetimeiwasfinishedmakingthis,itwastimefortheBreeziestogobackhome.IwasreallysadthattheycouldtrymyBreezieMansionbutsomethingtoldmetokeepthehouse.AtfirstIthoughtthatitwasbecausetheBreezieswouldcomeback,butmyPinkiesensestoldmethatanewponyiscomingtoPonyville,buttheyitwasn'tpony,itwasyou.WhenisawyououtthewindowiknewthatihadtomakeyouaSuperSupriseParty,butIdidn'tknowthatyoucanreadmindsoverakabillionmilesaway,sothewholesuprisethingwasblownoff." Pinkie explained in one breath, in which I was wondering how she could do that. Anyways! After a snapped out of my thinking trance, I finally decided to check the inside of the mini house. The front was a porch with a small fence in, as I got up the stairs, I saw I one sided door so I opened it slowly, feeling nervous going inside. (don't know why though) As I opened the door, the lights inside turned on automatically. I saw that the front door lead me to the hallway, it was simple, but nice. There was a flight of stairs on my left, and the doorframe to the living room to my right, and as I walked down the hall, there was a closet on my left, and at the end, it lead me to the kitchen. I went back down the hall to the living room, seeing two very familiar chairs with a end table between the two furniture's. There was a fireplace next to the doorframe and a painting of the house on the edge of a cliff and right next to the house was a waterfall. 'Dammit! Why does this look so familiar?' I thought. Seeing the bedroom last, I walked back out of the dollhouse, seeing six mares with warm smiles on there muzzles. "So~? Do you like it? Doyadoyadoyadoya?" Pinkie asked. "I love it Pinkie." I answered. I ran towards Pinkie, with her for-hooves wide open, hiving her a hug. It surprised me that she didn't give a bone-crushing hug, but a soft gentle hug. "Thank you." I whispered. "Your welcome." Pinkie whispered back. ~ Everything went back to full swing after the gift giving. Everypony as either dancing, chatting, snacking, or playing games. I was still perched on the center table of the library, now eating a potato chip that was bigger than me and drinking some of Pinkie's punch with a thimble. I asked what was in the drink, but Rarity told me that I didn't what to know. Either way, I loved it. It had the fruit and sugar inside, (obviously!) but there was something in the mix I couldn't quite describe. I saw that some ponies had the same drink as well. (or maybe that was the only drink in this party) I was sitting on my phone, having one of the headphones around my neck, listening to some PMV's I saves in my phone. I was listening to Crusaders by BlackGryph0n and Baasik. I didn't see that there was a cross-eyed mare coming my way. And she had a cup of fruit punch in her hoof. "Hey! Miss- Whoops!" The gray mare tripped on a plastic cup and the drink splashed on me and my phone. I felt an electric shock throughout my body. Feeling the electricity and pain all over. "GAHHH!!!!" I screamed in pain. Next thing I knew, I was fading, hearing nothing but the mares voice. "Whoops. My bad." > Chapter 8: Magic within Me > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ohnoohnoohnoohnoohnoohno!!" Twilight went about, seeing the unconscious Avery on the table. The other five came to see what Twilight was being worked up about. But when they saw Avery and her barely breathing form, they almost got as freaked out as Twilight. "Oh, my stars." Rarity started. "Twilight what happened to poor Avery?" "I-I don't know. I just heard Derpy calling me and then saw Avery like this." Twilight explained. "Derpy? What happened?" Rainbow glared at the gray mare cowering behind a brown stallion. "I-Its was by accident!" "What was by accident?" Applejack asked. "I-I was just going to ask A-Avery a question but I slipped on a empty cup and spilled my drink on her and her rectangle thing she was sitting on. And she was screaming a little, then fell asleep." "Derpy, she didn't fall asleep, she fell unconscious... Must've been from the electricity from the device." Twilight explained. "So how do we wake Avie from her slumber?" Pinkie asked. "We just need to wait until she wakes up naturally, Pinkie." "Aww. But she's the guest of honor, Twily." "I know, but we just need to be patient." "Okay." Pinkie said a little upset-like. "Twilight, darling? Do you think maybe in order for her to rest she needs to be in bed first?" Rarity asked. "Oh, right." Twilight then gathered her magic to levitate Avery into the mini house, bit the strangest thing happened. As Twilight's magic aura made contact with Avery, the aura somehow got sucked within Avery's unconscious body. The action made the sleeping human show a face in pain, and for a second, Avery's foot witched. "Huh?" "What wrong?" Fluttershy spoke. "I can't levitate Avery." "That doesn't make any sense. Didn't you levitate her off of the table when you left to Rarity's?" Spike asked. "Yes, I remember that, and many other moments where I used my magic on her, even on little tests yesterday." Twilight started. "Let me do a magic scan on her." Twilight did as said, but the magic got consumed my Avery again. "Dammit! I can't do it!" "Well ah guess we know one thing," Applejack started. "It seems that lil' Avery can sorta absorb unicorn magic when she's knocked out." "Seems so..." Twilight agreed. "So how do we bring her inside the house?" Rainbow asked. "Ooh! Ooh! I know!" Pinkie shouted. Before anypony could stop her, Pinkie used the tip of her hair to grab Avery by the waist, and extended her hair into the house and placed her into the bed. Pinkie tucked her in and gave her a blush bear and kissed her goodnight. (All this using the tip of her hair still.) Everypony who saw that happen had there muzzles agape. "What? Was the kissing goodnight too childish?" Pinkie asked. Everypony just shook there heads and just assumed Pinkie being Pinkie. "Now let's get back to PARTYING!" Pinkie shouted, getting the good vibes back in motion. ~Avery P.O.V.~ "Ugh. Everything hurts." I said to myself. Groggily, I rose into a sitting position, crossing both my legs. I saw that I was in a completely white area. I checked myself to see that my clothes changed to a simple white sweater and blue jeans. On my jeans I saw the pin I kept was strapped to me, in a special sword pouch, designed to hold the pin. "Hello?" I called out, getting no response but an echo in return. I slowly got up, walking forward into the endless sheet of white. I didn't know how long I walked, but I suddenly felt a huge wave of pain, making me fall to my knees. My chest started hurting, making it harder to breath. But as soon as it came, it left like that. I got up again, being greeted to another twinge of pain again, getting a much stronger amount of pain. When the random amount of pain stopped, I got up once more, but I stayed up, waiting for the pain to come back. All I felt was something grabbing my waist, then nothing. "That was... something." I said to myself. I was about to continue walking, until I felt something. Like someone was watching me. "Your finally awake I see." I heard a female voice say. "W-who's there?" I asked nervously, slowly taking out my pin sword. "Oh, you don't know remember who I am? I am no enemy, just a friend of yours." The voice explained. "Th-then show yourself!" I called out. What I saw surprised me. In front of me, was me. Except she was a total opposite of me. She had a black sweater and red jeans with black boots. Her eyes were red slits and her hair was white. She also had a pin on her side but the white end was red instead, "Remember me now?" She asked. "Yreva..." I said to myself, but she heard me anyways. "Aww, so you do remember little ol' me. I thought that crash wiped some of your memory, but luckily you still know me in that little noggin." Yreva knocked my forehead. I tried to slap her hand away, but she moved back before I could make contact. "Ah, ah ah," She teased. "You know what happens if we 'accidentally' touch hands, remember?" "Sadly, yes." I mumbled. "Anyways, I'm not here to bug you again." Yreva started. "I'm here to make sure you keep my existence a secret from these talking horses." "Why?" I eyed her suspiciously. "Cause you and I know that we hold great power, and you know what happened back on earth when we made that little mistake." Yreva said. "Yes, we had to run away and change our whole life." I explained. "Either way, this place has magic, unlike our home planet. So make sure not to make any of those unicorns use magic on you while your knocked out." "Why?" "Cause unlike being awake, you can control our consumption of magic. And you know how unstable you can be when you have too much power." "Yes, I know. We don't want 'her' to escape." "That is one thing you and I can agree on." "So what happened? I don't remember how I got knocked out in the first place." "You got electrocuted by some gray mare splashing her drink on you." Yreva explained. "It's a good thing the phone is waterproof." I said "But not the headphones." Yreva interjected. "It's a good thing a carry my own box of random headsets." I grinned. "In which I don't know why you still do that." "For these typed of situations, silly!" I ruffled her white hair. "So what now?" I asked. "Well, since you actually have a weapon for once," I rolled my eyes as Yreva continued. "I could help you practice." "Huh? What was that?" "I said I could always help you." Yreva mumbled. "One more time?" I said. "I SAID I COULD HELP YOU PRACTICE YOU IDIOT!" Yreva yelled. "Gah! I hate you so much." I rubbed my ears. "Anyways, do you want me to help you use that thing?" She asked. "Sure! I shall follow your lessons sensei." I bowed. "Don't call me that." "Sorry." ~ I watched as Yreva showed me different stances while wielding a sword. And different ways of using the melee weapon. She even summoned a living dummy to show me how to block and areas in which I can swipe at. She even did some close combat with me. I won two out of five, but Yreva was pleased with my progress. I didn't know how long we practiced, but she told me she was finished for today. "Now we are going to see if any of your magic was lost." Yreva explained our little test. "Okay... What's first?" I asked. "Levitation." She then snapped her fingers, making a familiar looking boulder appear. "Come. Lift this." She commanded. I just gave a shrug and concentrated on lifting the rock. I had one hand on the side of my forehead, making two fingers touch my head and the other hand was pointed towards the boulder. My eyes were closed, but I could tell that my magic was working. I felt a familiar aura cover my hands, but something felt different. "Wait a minute..." I heard Yreva say under her breath. I opened my eyes to see my aura was a different color. My natural color was white, but now it was a light pink instead. I also saw that the rock was off the ground by a few feet. "Stop for a moment." Yreva said. I did as told, making the rock smash into the floor, making the rock itself crack. "What's wrong?" I asked. "I know you can see what's happening. You consumed some of that purple mare's magic and now it's fused with your magic as well." Yreva explained. "Let's just hope that no one will make a big deal about this." "Well that's a shame for you then." "Why?" She asked. "Don't you remember when we watched the show at home?" I asked. "Yeah?" "Well, if this Twilight is like the one on the T.V show, then she will really want to know an explanation about this." "Well, let's just hope they won't remember when you have to explain to them on how you know about them as well." "And also how I pinned Fluttershy's pet on her head." "Yeah, sorry about that. I thought he would hurt us and I couldn't make that happen." "I know that. You had your heart in the right place." "Anyways, It's about time for you to wake up. You don't want those ponies to worry too much about you. So you should wake up. We'll see more on this 'magic' thing later and work on your training on both sides. You need to practice, but make sure you do magic privately." "Wait! Before I go, I think I have a plan to make me use my powers without freaking anyone out." "How?" "Well, I remember I asked Twilight if she knows any re-sizing spells and she hasn't yet, so when she does-" I then got cut off by Yreva. "I'm sorry! But I need to tell you something about your 'size'." Yreva said. "Yeah? What about that?" "To tell you the truth, when we first came here... I was the one who shrunked you." "What!?" I shouted. "I also tried to shrink your clothes and items as well, but I only had enough to shrink them half-way." She explained. "Your magic was so noticeable that I needed to do that to make sure no one could see you as well." "What do you mean, 'see' me? Wouldn't the trees block anyone from seeing me?" "Not exactly. There's a reason why they called the show my 'little' pony." "How small are they anyways if I was at my normal size?" "There pretty much the size of puppies to us." "Really? That is small." "So you should not get your hoped up high cause the spell won't work." Yreva said. "The spell I used specifically will only be reversed by the person who cast the spell in the first place." "So, how long will it take you to reverse it?" I asked. "Well, since I used most of my magic on us, about a year or two." "What!?" I shouted... again. "I'm sorry alright! It's not my fault that this world is so freaking small." "Humph!" I crossed my arms. "But I could change your size a little in about a month if you want, but not fully." "Fine." "Anyways, I got a better idea now that I told you that." "I'm listening." "How about this, when that purple mare tries to cast the spell, but it fails instead, you make it seemed that it gave you magic abilities instead. How does that seem?" "That's actually sounds like a good idea." I complemented. "Anyways, ya need to wake up now if I were you." A random door appeared out of nowhere and opened slowly, showing a even whiter exit. I slowly walked to the door. Before I went though it though, I gave a wave to Yreva, and she waved back in response, while giving me a small smile. I then walked through the door and closed the door behind me, letting myself be sucked into a black void before me. > Cancelled > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due to not knowing where this story will go and no inspiration to continue, I am sorry to say that this fic is cancelled. I am sorry for anypony who was waiting for a new chapter for so long and who were waiting on how this will go through. I'm especially sorry for DGGames who worked so hard for this cover story, now knowing that this fic will go nowhere. That was really the main reason I didn't want to do this a first. But I just can't go on with this fic. Anyone is free to either make a spinoff of this or even use the characters in this fic. Again I am truly sorry to tell you this. This isn't the end of me making anymore fic's; just the end of this one. I still have three more for you guys that you can read, and I'm even doing a collab on one of them. (If anypony wants to join) Anyways, goodbye to you all. I am really going to miss doing this fic...
