Well first of all I don’t own My little Pony Friendship is Magic, I also don’t own Stargate SG1 those are owned by Hasbro and MGM respectively.


It was a normal day in the peaceful land of Equestria. And a byssi one at that. Especially in the Canterlot Archeological Museum, as a new Artifact was to be revealed to the public. Doctor Ancient Time, was fiddeling with his notices. The reason why was standing behind him, behind the brown unicorn stod the form of Princess Celestia. She was here in order to reveal the new artefact that has recently been uncovered during diggings in Saddle Arabia. The government of Saddle Arabia had allowed the Equestrians to show it to the public in their museum for a year. “So Doctor Time what can you tell me about it.” Asked the princess. “Well your majesty it is far older than any artefact we know, it is made from an unknown element. We tried to use magic in order to determine its origin and composition, but we had no luck in it.” “ Well I am sure that whit enough time you will find out.” “Thank you for your confidence your majesty.” 
An hour later the Doctor together with the Princess were standing of a podium, which was surrounded by other ponies. 
“My beloved subject I welcome you here on this monumental day where an astounding new discovery will be displayed. I thank you for coming in such numbers, now I will give word to Doctor Ancient Time.”
“ Ah hello, as for the artefact, we now that it is many tousends of years old, also it is made from an unknown element that we haven’t found on our world yet. However even more mysterious is that there is no magical residue. This means that there was no magic when this thing was made.”
“Doctor Time, how was it made if not from magic, also when will we see it?`”

“Well to the first question I have no answer as we are still studiing it, for the second one well here it is.” Said the Doctor and pulled a rope.
A red curtain fell and revealed the artefact. It was a big ring of a silver gray metal, there were many different hieroglyphs on it. Also there were nine orange v like chevrons. Also it had a diameter of 2.3 meters. 

“Doctor do you know, who built this ring?” asked a news pony. 
“ Unfortunately no. We are however still searching the area where we found the ring. And___” however the doctor was interrupted from a loud Katching, because the inner part of the ring began to spin while one of the chevrons now was glowing.

“Everypony please stand back and do not panick.” Said the princess as she saw that the ponies were now not only very confused but also distressed over what was happening.
Her four Royal Guards were taking flanking positions near hear.

After around a half a minute the sevent chevron lightend up and thene it hapenend. A blue wave of water like substance spewed out of the ring, after which it settled back and staied there upright.

A few minutes earlier.

Beneath the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, lays the biggest discovery and secret of the world, the Stargate. An alien artifcta that when the glyphs which are constellations are chosen rightly and enough power was given could create a stable wormhole between it and any other gate in the galaxy. The US Air Force has been using this device for around seven years now, in which they have discovered many new civilisations and races, some friendly and unfortunately some not so friendly (which was an underestimating).
Well onwards with the story.
“Chevron seven locked” said Walter Hariman, the Gate operator and technican, as the gate activated. “ Alrigight Sergent send the Malp” said General Hammon, commander of the SGC. With him was the flagship team known as SG1. “Sir we are geting viedo feed in 3,2,1” said Major Carter resident genious and secand in Command of SG1. And with this everyone presend looked to the monitor where they saw wath the probes camera saw. “ Carter, are you shure that this is the Malp feed, and not the Disney?” said Cornel O’Neill, leader of the team. “ No Sir, this is coming directly from the Malp.” Answered Carter, a bit confused, because there on the Screen where multiple little equines and one big shown, and they were alse strangly colored. “ So a planet full of horses is it then?” said Jack. “ Actual Jack they are ponys and not horses with the expection of the big one.” Said Doctor Daniel Jackson, the resident archelog and expert on multiple alien civilisations and languages. “T’alc have you ever heard of a world like this?” asked Hammond T’alc. T’alc the resident Jaffa and former first prime of Aphopis answerd in his tone “No, General Hammond I have not.” “ Uh guys, something is happening there.” Indeed there were suddenly two ponys directly in front of the Malp wit spears drown and pointed at it. “ Well judging by the crown on the big one, and the armor they wear these may be some sort of royal guard that protect therey leader there.” Said Daniel. “Well then let’s talk to the horse princess.” Said Jack.

Present time.

After the strange contraption had come true and the shock of all had worn down, two of Celestias guards went in front of it and treathened it with ther spears. “Princess you must leave imediabely, we don’t know what this creature wants.” Said swift shield, one of her guards. “ Thank you for your concern of my security, but if this thing wants to attack, then why diden’t it already do it. We don’t know where it came from nor what it is, or what it wants.” Said the princess of the day. Before Shield could say something the contraption answered. “ Ah hello there, can you understand me?” came from it. Celestian and Shield went to it. “Yes we can understand you fine. I am Princess Celesta, co ruller of the diarchy of Equestria.” 
“Ah, Hello your mayesty, my name is Doctor Daniel Jackson. “ “Greetings Dr. Jackson, it is nice to meet you, but who and what are you, and why and how have you come here to my kingdom?”
“Well actually I am not here, what you see in front of you is a machine. As to how it got there, it got there by stargate. The stargate is the ring behind it. It is a alien device which allows us to travel to other planets, and yes I am not a pony like you , but a member of a species called humans.” Answered Daniel her questions.
Celestia was shocked and very surprised. While she had always assumed that there had to be alien live on another planet in the vast universe, she had never imagined to met one here and yet.
“Your majesty, we are curious people who like to explore and the get to know new things. We are peaceful people who would like to explore your world and get to know your people. With your permission I myself and three of my friends would like to come through the gate and to meet you and your people.”
“Your majesty, this has to be a trick, or they may plot to invade our world.” Said Swift Shield.” I do not think so Swift Shield. Doctor Jackson I allow you and your three colleagues to come here, but no more than you four may come here or I will consider this as an act of aggression, is this clear.” “Yes Princess, we understand. We will now come through.” “Well then I look forward to it.” She said.
