> Equestria's Crippled Daredevil > by Pixel Berry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Breaking the Record > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...You are CRAZY!" Emily shouted at me. We were on our way to the ramp I was going to use to break my friends record for fastest wheelchair speed. My friend, Emily, was begging me to not do this, but I never rat out of anything. As Emily was too busy trying to change my mind, I was strapping myself to my wheelchair tighter so I won't fall off. I placed my Beats on my head, gauntlets on my arms, and dark sunglasses on my eyes. I was ready. "I know you want to be as good as a daredevil as your father, but you could get killed doing this." Emily said. "Well at least I could die doing what I loved." I said. Emily stood silent afterwards. "Now if you don't mind," I said turning up my music. "I got a record to break. Woo!" I did a donut with my wheelchair and sped off. "Good luck..." Emily said. ~30 Minutes Ago~ "Is it ready?" I said eagerly. "Almost... And~ done!" My friend, Chris said. I leaned to the side, seeing two ends of rockets underneath me. "Awesome..." Was all I said. Chris gave me a warm smile, then got serious. "Now Ally! These rockets are super powerful and I can only say that when your at the edge of the ramp, press this button," under my arm rest there was a green button flashing. "And also, good luck out there champ!" "Thanks Chris! Your the best." "I try." I wheeled out the workshop and saw my friend Emily waiting for me. "Hey Ally! What were you doing with Chris?" "Oh just upgrading my ride for the big day today." "And what is so 'big' about today?" "Well..." "Another stunt?" Emily guessed unamused. "Yeah..." "What is it this time?" "Uhh... Well..." I started picking up speed, trying to wheel away. But Emily grabbed the back handle. "Spill the beans." "*Sigh* Fine. But you ain't gunna like it." I Took a breath before I started. "Before I started thinking of becoming a daredevil, I saw a record for fastest wheelchair speed in the world record. And at that time, I wanted the world to know my name in any possible way. And ever since, I've been hanging out with Chris to find out any way to make my wheelchair faster, since arm power won't be enough to break the record. And today, in his garage, Chris made some rocket-powered attachments to my wheelchair, as you can see," I pointed to the rockets under me. Emily looked stunned. "And with these babies, I know for sure I can break the record!" "But...but why?" Emily asked. "Like I said, I want to be known to the world, and also the record was made by an uncrippled." I said with coldness at the end. "But you can be known in other ways too. Like being a writer, or an Actor; even a singer! Your voice is amazing." "Those ways are for wimps with imagination." "But you watch a TV show for six year old." "Eight." "Huh?" "A TV show for eight year olds. But Lauren said it was for family." "Either way, I think you shouldn't do this." "Why?" *Sigh* Cause, One, this plan is crazy and you are CRAZY!" ~30 Minutes Later~ "Do you still think this is crazy?" I asked, while being near the edge of the ramp, pausing my music. "Yes. By the way, why are you wearing a backpack?" Emily asked. "Cause, by the speed I have to go, I'll go so far, I might be in the middle of a forest." "So... A survival pack?" "Eeyup." I then grabbed the microphone next to me. "Hello everyone!" I shouted, getting my audiences attention, making them cheer. "Today is going to be a great day today! And I'm guessing you know why, right?" The crowd grew silent. "If you must know, I am going to break the record for fastest wheelchair speed!" I heard them cheer once more. "Now, HERE WE GO!" I threw the mic and gave a big wheel push. Everything was so fast for me to contemplate. All I heard was Emily shouting 'WAIT!', the crowd cheering, and some... thunder? I forgot that there was a storm planned for today, but I was too late. As I went down the ramp, I felt adrenalin rushing through my blood, the wind in my face, and the dubstep playing in my beats that I turned on before going down. I also saw my life flash through my eyes. It was amazing, seeing my friends and family, the most wonderful times, and also the worst of times as well. When I got near the end of the ramp, I pressed the button under the wheelchair arms, activating the rockets. I didn't know what Chris put in the rocket itself, but the flames coming out of it was white, it looked so cool. Then I realized, I was in the air. I felt weightless, free, happy. Then that happiness was gone when I realized two other things, one, I forgot to pack a parachute, and second, I was getting closer to a flash of purple light, a.k.a. a purple lightning. I closed my eyes, hearing a colletive gasp all around me, then a pop. And everything was silent once more. I slowly opened my eyes seeing that I was now falling, and also seeing a sea of dark green below me, I then saw a small town from the distance. Before I could question that, I made contact to a few twigs, then the ground itself. "...ow?" was the last thing I said before passing out. ~P.O.V. Twilight Sparkle~ "*Huff* *Puff* Di-did the spell work?" I asked exhausted. Spike looked around the field, seeing nothing he said nope. "Damn... I thought I had it this time." I said aggravated. "Well Spike, looks like well try again next-" I didn't finish my sentence cause we heard a huge *BOOM* in the sky. I turned around, seeing something with wheels falling from the sky. "Spike? Take a letter to everypony. Even Celestia." I said, seeing the thing hit the Everfree Forest, making a huge gust of dust come out. > Chapter 2: First Friend in The Everfree > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Wow! What a crash!" Was the first thing a said, with a goofy smile on my face. I sat up, using my arms to lift myself up, and saw the endlessness of trees and bushes before me. I saw some creepy eyes starring at me for a while, but just ignored them. "What forest am I in, anyways?" I asked, knowing that I will get no answer. But surprisingly, I did. "The Everfree Forest is where you are, And by the look of you, you came pretty far." said a voice. "Who said that?!" I turned around towards the voice, seeing a Zebra before me that was surrounded in blue flowers, that I was sitting on some. "What the..?" was the first thing a said after a long silence. 'Either Chris put something in my browny snack or this is some crazy-ass dream.' I thought. "My name is Zecora, as you can see, I am a Zebra, but what are thee?" she asked. "First, nice rhyming, and second, the names Ally" I answered. 'Why does that name sound familiar?' I thought. "A creature named Ally, that is new to me, but have you seen a zebra? Just like me?" She pointed to herself. "Well, yeah, I've seen Zebras. But not in real life, nor like you." I said. "Thy must be tired, from that nasty fall, Come with me, thou mustn't me alone at all." "Why?" But before she could answer, I heard some creepy sounds from a distance. "Nevermind, let's go." But I almost forgot about my 'condition'. I saw that Zecora was walking pretty far. "H-hey! Zecora?" I shouted. But she didn't turn around. At first I thought she left me, but I saw her coming back with my book bag and wheelchair. "I assume these are yours, But climb on before you are no more." She said. I crawled over as fast as I could and climbed on the wheelchair. Before I could move myself, Zecora started pushing me with her hooves and we were speeding past trees over and over again. I didn't really liked being pushed around, it makes me feel useless, but I didn't want to act like a spoiled brat, seeing that she was just trying to help. As we were speeding by trees and bushes, I saw some things that I never thought were real. I saw a sleeping Manticore, the backside of a Cockatrice, something that looked like a fairy-pony with huge wings, and a flying ball with big eyes. But I also saw some simple animals like, bunnies, birds, and even a bear. I didn't realize that we were in front of a tree-house. (Or is it house-tree?) Zecora opened the door and brought out a plank for my wheelchair to be able to come with me. This time, I pushed myself inside. Inside were a bunches of containers and jars full of spices and herbs. In the center, there was a cauldron full of black liquid. I also saw some mask with creepy faces, but it didn't bother me that much. "Nice hut." I commented. "Now I must ask you first, were you the one that shook the earth?" she asked "Huh? Oh You mean the crash? Yeah, that was me!" I said smiling with pride. Zecora stood silent, was about to speak, but then turned around back to the cauldron. While Zecora was busy doing who-knows-what, I reached behind my wheelchair and lifted my backpack off the handles. I opened the backpack, seeing that everything was still in there, not that I would think Zecora would take anything, just making sure. I took out a water canister, and my phone. First, drinking some of the Pepsi inside the canister, then checking my phone, seeing that there was no service. 'Wouldn't hurt to check anyways.' I thought. But what caught me by surprise was that there was internet connection. 'Weird...' I didn't notice that there was a zebra looming over me, seeing my phone in my hand. I turned around, seeing her looking at the phone. "Can I help you?" I asked. "I do not want to be a bother, if I may ask, what is that device, in your grasp?" she asked. "Oh, sorry." I showed her my phone. "This is a cell phone, or a iPhone 5C to be specific. You can talk to anyone without being next to them... like talking to a person through a brick wall, you can't see them, but you can hear them." "That seems pretty cool, What a magical tool." "Do you wanna play with it?" I asked. It didn't bother me cause it had plenty of battery life so she can play it whenever she wanted. She simply nodded her head and took it from my grasp. I watched as she was playing Flappy Bird on my lap. I laughed at her getting angry at the many failures and was almost at the point where she was about to throw my phone at the wall, until we heard a knock at the door. Zecora gave me back my phone, then went to answer the door. "Oh! Hello Princess Sparkle, and the others I see, Come in, come in, would you like some tea?" "Uh, no thank you Zecora. We just came here to warn you about a recent crash not to far from here," I heard a voice way too familiar. "And I have a hypothesis that the cause of the crash was a spell of mine and that probably a living creature should have been at the crash sight. But unfortunately, the creature wasn't there, so I think you should keep your eye peeled Zecora. If you see anything, you can send a message to us via Spike." Zecora just nodded. As the mystery guest left, Zecora closed the door. And starred at me, pondering on what to do next. The answer came by a yawn from me. "It seems that you are tired, Lay on the couch, I'll light a fire." I didn't question that. I wheeled my way to the couch, lifted myself from the wheelchair, onto the couch. Zecora left to the other room, and brought me a pillow and quilt. "Thanks." I placed my head on the pillow and almost immediately fell asleep. ~P.O.V. Zecora~ I watched as the creature named Ally fall asleep and went to my desk. I pulled out some parchment and ink and started writing. Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle, I am dearly sorry that I kept my mouth shut, That the odd creature I brought into my hut. She seems nice in every way, And I think you should come the next day. You may tell your friends about this, But don't tell the Sun Princess. We shall talk at the planned day, But I should get ready to end the day. ~Zecora I then sent the letter and got ready for bed myself. 'This creature sure is new, But I just hope she's not thinking of having zebra stew.' I thought. > Chapter 3: The Element's of What-now? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "*Yawn* What a rest," was the first thing I said, opening my eyes, seeing that I was still in Zecora's hut. "So it wasn't a dream..." I sat up on the couch, looking down at my lifeless legs. "*Sigh*" At that moment, I saw Zecora walk in, looking well rested. "I see that you are up, And I may say, sup." "Hey Zecora, not trying to be mean or anything, but I thought this whole thing was a dream." "No need to fret, for I thought the same, But may I play that Flappy Bird game?" "Shouldn't we eat first?" Zecora just nodded. She went to another room, which I assumed was the kitchen. And with little effort, I got off the couch, onto my wheelchair. I wheeled my way to the same room, seeing Zecora setting the table for both of us. I assumed that the side that had to chair was my spot. I set myself up there. I waited for awhile, seeing Zecora making something to eat. She came back with a two wooden bowls of salad. I was about to dig in with some utensils, but there were none. "Um, Zecora?" She lifted up her head from her bowl, seeing bits of leafy green on her cheeks. "Do you have any utensils that I can use?" She nodded her head and went to a nearby drawer. She took out a fork and spoon and carried them back in her teeth. I thanked her, then took the utensils from her grasp. We continued without speaking to each other. I would sometimes take out some flower pedals in the salad, but Zecora didn't mind. Other than the flowers, I nearly cleaned the whole plate. When I finished my salad, I noticed that she also poured some water in a wooden mug. I thanked her again and took a sip from the cup. The rest of the morning consisted of me watching Zecora make different brews in her cauldron, and sometimes asking what she's making. Obviously, Zecora would always answer in rhymes, sometimes in some vocabulary that I didn't understand. Sometimes while I watch her, I would get this itch on my shoulder, but nothing else. I know that many people in my situation would start wondering how they are even in a hut with a rhyme-talking zebra, but I saw movies in this situation that's much worse, so I just played along, ignoring the voice in the back of my head asking all of these questions regarding of what I should do. Zecora was almost finished with an antidote for something called 'The Blue Flu' until we heard a knock on the door. I stayed next to the cauldron while Zecora approached the door, seeing through a nearby window first, but what surprised me was that I thought I saw a blue winged pony with a rainbow mane. Zecora opened the door. I didn't see who was outside but I knew it was that same thing from yesterday. "Miss Sparkle, you seem better, It seems that you've gotten my letter." "Sparkle, sparkle... Why does it sound so- Wait a minute! Twilight Sparkle!?' As on cue, I saw the Alicorn of the hour walk into the hut, with the other five, and Spike on the Alicorn's back, all of them looking at me with stunned looks on there faces. I lowered my head, trying to not make eye contact, but what I didn't see was a pair of light cerulean eyes starring back at me. "Wah!" I almost fell off my wheelchair, until the same mare pushed down my feet rest, placing me back to my original, balanced state. Next came a wave of questions from the mare. "HiWhat'syournameMynameisPinkiePieIworkatSugarCubeCornerwithMr.andMrs.Cakeandtheretwoadorablefoals.Theresuperduperfunandcute.Thesearemyfriends!" She waved her pink hoof to the other five. She zipped to every mare she pointed out. "ThisisTwilightSparkleandSpike!ThisisRarity!ThisisApplejack!ThisisFluttershy!AndthisisRainbowDash!AndweretheElementsofHarmony!" Pinkie finished. "Uhh..." Everything was silent as I tried to process what just happened. "C-can you talk Ms. Creature?" The yellow mare named Fluttershy. I shook my head to clear my mind. "Uhh... Y-yeah, I can talk." Some of the mares were a bit shocked at me finally speaking. Rarity was on her famous fainting couch and Pinkie gave me a big grin. I gave a small smile back. "Excuse me, but what are you?" Twilight asked. "I-I'm a Human or a Homo Sapiens to be scientific." I answered. Everything became silent once more, then Rainbow Dash interrupted the silence. "Why are you sitting I that 'thing'?" She pointed at my wheelchair. "O-oh, Well I-I'm paralyzed from the waist, down." I said. Still confused looks. "I can't move my legs." I said bluntly. Rainbow gave a guilty look. Probably guilty on asking the question. "B-But don't worry! I was born like this, so it's completely normal for me." Everyone looked less tense. "A-At first I thought the crash made that happen." Twilight said. "How do you know about the crash?" I asked. "I-well-Uhh..." Twilight started. "TwilightdidsomefancyandhardspelltotakesomethingfromawholedifferentworldanditseemedthatTwilightwantedtogetyourwheelchairandsinceyouwereonit,youcameaswellwithyourbag!" Pinkie explained in one breath. Both me and Twilight had are jaws dropped. "I didn't even tell you that, Pinkie. How did you know?" "Just a hunch." She shrugged. "Anyhoo! If you must know, like Pinkie said, I did try to summon an item in your world, and I saw your wheelchair, but not you. So I used my magic to summon it, and strangely, it was in the air. Why was that?" Twilight asked. "Well, I kinda, rather, sorta, tried to break a record in my world." That got Rainbow's attention. "You did? What happened?" Rainbow came up to me, hovering over. I started boasting. "Oh nothing interesting. Just using a huge ramp to break the world record of fastest wheelchair speed." Rainbow's jaw dropped next. "How is that not interesting!?" She continued "It's like me doing a Double Rainboom and acting like I flew to Twilight's Library." She stated. "Wait? What's a Double Rainboom?" Rainbow was about to answer that until Pinkie popped out of nowhere and pulled out a photo. "This!" "You can also search up the video on Youtube to see the official fan-made episode." Pinkie said. This threw both me and Rainbow off guard. Making us utterly confused. "Yeah..." I finally said. "Um, excuse me Ms. Creature? Do you have a name? If you want to tell us that is." Fluttershy squeaked, making my heart explode over the cuteness I see before my eyes. "I-It's Ally." I said, getting a approved glance from Fluttershy. 'OMG She's so cute!' "I'm sorry to interrupt, darling." Rarity finally spoke. "But I couldn't help but notice your exquisite taste in fashion." That compliment gave me a confused stare in return from me. "The skirt and jacket goes so well and the white socks and shirt as well." She started walking up, feeling my fabric and looking at my bracelet. "Simple, but cute." She said. "Um, not to be mean, but I really just threw these on when I got up yesterday." "Y-yesterday? Please don't tell me that you went to sleep with them?" She asked, looking a little pale, even though she was white enough. "Well I'm not really fond of sleeping in the nude." Rarity stood silent. "Anyways!" Twilight got all of our attention. "I know that everypony would like to ask Ally many questions, but I think we should leave the forest first. No offense Zecora." Zecora just wave a hoof. Twilight got the approval of taking be back to Ponyville, and at first, Fluttershy was going to push me out, but I politely asked if I could move myself. She gladly let me do it on my own. And I surprised the mares at how fast and easy I maneuvered through the forest, having close calls from trees and some animals passing by. As I sped off ahead, Rainbow caught up with me, telling me that Twilight wanted her to keep an eye on me. I just rolled my eyes and continued wheeling away. ~ We were finally out of the forest and were on our way to Twilight's House/Library. As we got to the Town Hall, all of the ponies we saw ran away, having a scared look as I made eye contact to some of them. But in less then a minute, the town looked like a ghost town instead. I just shrugged it of. 'Too bad. I would've shown them how to have fun!' I thought with a devilish grin on. Luckily, none of the mare saw my evil grin. But what I didn't see was one unicorn mare starring directly at me. Instead of fear in her eyes, they were full of interest and curiosity. As I wheeled passed her, she actually started following us from a distance. Still looking at me. It made me uneasy. 'I know I wanted all eyes on me, but this is ridiculous!' I thought. I couldn't take it anymore, and so I turned around, a whole 180 degrees, and started looking at the startled mare. As I stated before, she was a mint green unicorn. Her hair was a bluish-green color with white highlights. Her cutie make was a Lyre. When I realized who she was I got a little uneasy. 'Damn! It's that obsessive human mare, Lyra!' "Can I help you?" I finally said. Lyra was a little stunned at me speaking to her. But she started speaking. "Um, Can I, um, touch your hand?" "Huh? "Can I touch your hands?" "Touch my what?" "Your hands... Can I touch them?" She asked shyly. "Uh, sure." I reached out my and towards her, she stepped back at first, then placed her hoof on it. She had a small smile on her muzzle and started messing with my fingers, spreading them, then putting them together. She then grabbed my hand and started rubbing my palm on her other hoof. I then pulled out my hand, and reached over to pet her. At first she was confused on what I was doing, then relaxed as I rubbed my hand on her mane. I then started scratching the back of her ear, and she actually started twitching her hind-hoof like a dog would if you scratch there tickle spot. I then left my hand from her head and she opened her eyes again, making me see her golden eyes. "Sorry, but I need to go." I spoke. "Oh, o-ok. Can we see each other again? I liked it when you scratch that one spot I couldn't reach." she asked, making me chuckle a bit. "Ok then. I'll see ya later miss..." "Lyra. Lyra Heartstrings." "Ally." We shook hoof/hand before we separated. I saw that the main six were waiting for me, seeing the whole thing. "Shall we continue?" "Sure..." Twilight answered. We then continued our trip to the Library. > Chapter 4: Q&A > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we were still on our way to the Golden Oakes, some of the residents came out of there homes, seeing that I was with the Element Bearers; one of them being a Princess. Also that strange itching sensation on my shoulder came back, but more irritating, making me stop once in awhile to scratch it like there's no tomorrow. Some of the mares noticed and ask if I'm alright. I just brushed them off saying that I'm fine. As I was still scratching that one spot, the itching started going down my arm, making my whole right arm itch like crazy. Rainbow couldn't take it anymore with me stopping every five minutes for me to itch my arm, so she stared pushing my wheelchair; and for once, I appreciated it, still itching my arm. I thought I was just seeing things, but I thought I saw a blue spot on my hand, but just ignored it. We finally arrived at the library, seeing it from a distance. I started thinking about the library itself. 'Hmm... I wonder... Should it be called a Tree-House or a House-Tree?' And yes, that was the first thing that came to mind, not realizing that the entrance to the Tree-House/House-Tree had stairs. But Twilight noticed. "Don't worry Ally," Twilight started, snapping out of my logic thinking trance. "I know the perfect spell for this situation; and ironically, I learned it yesterday." But before I could ask what spell, my wheelchair's wheels started getting the pinkish-purple glow around them. Even though I was on the wheelchair, I didn't feel or see any difference in anything. "Come over." Twilight said. I slowly wheeled myself to the stairs, and saw what Twilight's spell was. As I got closer, a pinkish-purple ramp came to view, going over the stairs. Everyone except Twilight small gasp seeing the ramp. "Go up." Twilight said. I carefully started going on the ramp, seeing it support the weight of both me and the wheelchair. When I finally went off the ramp, I was inside the library, first noticing the tons of books all around me. I saw the center table, with the fancy chess-piece like wooden statue, the little windows that were super close to the ceiling, and the sun image on the ceiling itself. I wheeled my way to the center table, moving out of the way of the front door. As I waited for the mares to come and settle in, I brought out my white Beats and turned on my phone, opening the app of Music Tube. Most of the time I go on it to listen to some music that isn't available on iTunes for my playlist. I was listening to Bad Apple, (I like Japanese songs, OK?) until Twilight tapped my shoulder, turning my head to see her curious gaze at my phone, seeing the music video end with the Ying and Yang sign. "Can I help you?" I asked, snapping Twilight out of her gaze. "W-what's that?" She asked a little nervous. "I-is that d-dangerous?" 'Must be those parts where they show the scythe and swords.' I assumed. But turning back to Twilight's scared gaze at me. I didn't know why, but I started chucking, then full-on laughing at Twilight's face. It seemed that Rainbow thought I was laughing at Twilight herself, so she zipped right into my face, with a mean glare, in which I thought was cute. "What's so funny?" She asked, still eyeing me. I was still laughing when Rainbow flew into my face, but my laughter died down after a few minutes. "I-I'm sorry. It's just that it's not dangerous. Not in the slightest." "Not at all?" Twilight asked. "Unless you threw this at someone, I don't think so" I said. "This thing, in no way, shape, or form, is a threat to anyone." "Then, what is it?" "It’s a iPhone." "An Eye what-now?" Rainbow said above me. "An iPhone. Wait, do you guys have a telephone?" I asked. "Yeah, it in the kitchen, why?" Twilight asked. "Good, it'll make explaining this more easier." I said. I saw that the six of them and one drake were sitting on the floor in front of me. Like little pre-school kids. "Ok then." I started. "I'll first show you how to turn it on. All you really need to do is press this button here." I pressed the power button, showing a photo of Princess Celestia with her main glowing neon-like. Everyone gasped at that. "W-why do you have a photo of Princess Celestia?!" Twilight first spoke. "Yeah what's the big deal! Are you a spy!" Rainbow said next. "First, no, I'm not a spy. And second, I'll explain it later on," I then swiped the screen, showing the multiple apps and the wallpaper of the bearers of The Elements of Harmony. "I-is that us?" I heard Fluttershy ask. "Eeyup," I answered. " Here's you Fluttershy," I pointed at the anthro girl second to the right. "And here's Rainbow," I pointed to the other girl, to the right of anthro Fluttershy. "Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity and Twilight." I finished. "There fan arts from another person." "Fan art?" Pinkie said. "What's that?" "It's a form of art that is based on a TV show or movie that they like. In which this is a fan art on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." "What's that?" Rainbow asked. "Why don't I show you then." I pulled out my Laptop, (Never leave the house without it... For random inspiration for art.) Turning it on, showing another My Little Pony wallpaper. As I was looking for the internet icon, I thought I heard Rainbow say 'I look awesome...' behind me, but just ignored it. I finally clicked the Chrome icon and it opened to google. I typed 'MLP FIM Season 1 Ep. 1 & 2' and clicked the first link, which was to YouTube. I turned the loading screen, facing the opposite of me. And the six mares and dragon sat on the floor. 'This'll be fun.' ~ As the Laptop was on my, well, lap, I heard the end credit come up, and I so closed the Laptop in front of me. Everyone was stunned. There was quite the silence for a few minutes. No one would have been able to read those faces. So I broke the ice. "Well, what did you think?" Another awkward silence. More stares. "Okay, your starting to freak me out here. I expected anger and sadness. Not complete and total blanks. Somebody say something!" I practically yells. "Well, I..." Twilight says. "Uhh..." Applejack just says. Both Rarity and Fluttershy were silent, looking as if someone looked into there personal diary. Pinkie had a goofy grin on. "I liked that episode." "That is also why I mainly know you mares as well. Everyone where I come from knows as well. But just to clarify, No one was watching you. A women named Lauren Faust created the show. You existing was completely coincidental. Not my fault." "O-ok then." Twilight then spoke. "Since that's out of the way, can you tell me about your world?" Twilight changed the subject. "Well..." ~ As I was explaining about humanity and it's good and bad it's done, Twilight was filling scroll after scroll with new information pouring out of the new creature called a 'human'. When I got to music that people made, but weren't really published I showed the perfect music video for Rainbow Dash, Double Rainboom. Of corse everyone like it cause it was about not giving up and having friends to help you on the way. But Rainbow Dashed liked it the most cause it mostly about a Double Rainboom and also herself. I also showed some of the Japanese videos that had English subtitles for those people who don't understand anything. (Meaning everyone in the library except me) I showed Bad Apple again, but with subtitles this time, ↑The Game of Life↓, (This one was English dubbed) and Death Should Not Have Taken Thee!, same with ↑The Game of Life↓, it was English Dubbed. When we were finally finished, Twilight had a mountain-full of information to her side. But before I could ask how she can store them, she levitated the whole thing to the basement. 'Magic!' As everyone was getting ready to leave, there came a knock on the door. Twilight quickly came to the door, opening it with her magic. Unexpectedly, a blast of golden aura came through the door, hitting me strait in the chest, catapulting me off the wheelchair, onto the wall, making most of the books fall of the shelves with me. I didn't know why, but my arms and legs were tied up id the golden aura, making me feel a little uneasy. I then felt myself being lifted up, but this time, I was covered in a sky blue aura. I then saw that Princess Celestia and two royal guards with her, one being a Unicorn, and the other being a Pegasus. The Unicorn's horn was glowing the same sky blue aura that was on me. "We have successfully captured the creature your Majesty." The Unicorn said. I saw that the Pegasus left and brought a cage that was bigger than me. The Unicorn levitated me inside and closed the door before the restraints faded on my arms and legs. I crawled to the door, grabbing the bars, looking at Twilight. "P-princess!" Twilight said. "What are you doing to Ally?" "I'm sorry Twilight, but we aren't sure if this thing is dangerous. So we need to take it back to Canterlot for studying." "St-studying?" I blurted out, making the Princess and the guards jump, surprising them that I could talk. "But Princess! She's not Dangerous!" Twilight said. "Really? Do tell?" Celestia said. "We spent all day here, learning about her species called 'Humans'. Even though her species did some cruel and dangerous things, she's not. They did amazing things and created so many tools and inventions." Celestia stood silent. She had her eyes closed as Twilight continued telling her on what my species did, both good and bad. Sometimes the other six would tell what makes my kind so nice and awesome. (What Rainbow said.) When they were all finished, everything was quiet, even I stayed silent. Celestia still had her eyes closed. At first I thought she would ignore Twilight's protest, until I saw Celestia's horn glow, and the cage door opening, which made me fell flat on my face. I heard Rainbow giggle a bit, but ignored her. I lifted myself up with my hands. I was just looking at Celestia, her having a blank stare. "Aren't you going to get up?" She asked. "I can't" I said. "Why?" "I-I can't use my legs... I'm paralyzed from the waist down." I explained, looking down. Celestia then used her magic and lifted me up, first picking up my knocked down wheelchair, then placing my down on it. "Thanks." I said. She just nodded her head. She turned around, giving a motion to tell the guards to leave. They left without saying a word. I thought I saw the Unicorn giving me a sneer, but I let it slide. "Twilight?" She finally spoke, catching the Alicorn's attention. "Keep an eye on Ally, and also bring me some information on her kind." Twilight just nodded and Celestia left. Everything was silent, once more. No one making a sound. Then Rarity broke the silence. "Well, that was... unexpected." "Agreed." I said. "Anyways, darling. I must be going. Even though I would like to stay and chat, but I still have some outfits to make. And I shall make some wonderful outfits for you dear." She said to me. "Oh! You don't need-" "No! Not another word! I don't want you to stay in that fine outfit. It is meant to be worn for fashion, not sleepwear." She said. "Just come tomorrow to your fitting and I shall make you a fabulous PJ's to wear." She opened the door. "Ta, ta dears!" She then left the library. "Yeah. I need to go to. It's getting late, see ya!" Rainbow said, then went out a nearby opened window. "Ah need ta go as well, Sugarcube." Applejack said. "Mah family might be watin' fer me at the farm. So ah gotta go. Bye." Applejack then left. Both Pinkie and Fluttershy left with her, leaving me, Twilight and Spike in the Library. "Well Spike!" Twilight spoke. "Can you start making dinner while I set up the guest bed?" "Will do!" Both Spike and Twilight went there merry way, leaving me with my thoughts. And only one thing came to mind. 'The Fuck?' > Chapter 5: Sleeping Arrangements > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hmm..." I was thinking logically again. "What is it Ally?" Twilight asked. "I wanna ask, why are you being so nice to me?" "What do you mean?" "Like, I'm a whole different creature, yet, your allowing me to stay with you... Why?" "Well, actually, somepony was in the same situation as you. But once we knew not to judge somepony by the book, so we became more open to everypony." "Oh..." We were eating dinner, which was spaghetti and wheatballs with a side of hay fries. At first I was a little precautious, but once I tried the wheatballs and hay fries, I was set. I didn't know why, but it tasted so much better than the actual meatballs. I just shrugged it off, thinking that my taste buds were a little out of it tonight. But I ate like I never ate in my life. That gave Twilight and Spike a confused glare at me. I just smiled in return. When we finished, I volunteered to wash the dishes. At first Twilight didn't want me to do them, thinking that she would be a bad hostess, but I was a hard-head. So, arguments made, I was doing the dishes, while listening to my tunes. At first I thought I heard some screaming from upstairs, but ignored. As I was washing a cup, I thought I saw a tuff of fur on my arm, but just thought it was my shirt. After I finished the last plate, I started feeling tired. With Twilight's spell, I went up the stairs to the bedroom. I was getting ready to take a shower, but Spike told me that Twilight was already in the shower. 'Wait... If Twilight was taking a shower while I was washing the dishes then that means... uh oh.' I saw that when Twilight walked out, she was more red then purple now. I gave a innocent smile, while also hearing a Squee somewhere. Twilight just gave me a mean glare in return. After Spike and I took our shower, Twilight gave me one of her large robes that Rarity made her but never wore, saying that it made her feel like royalty, and I didn't blame her. When I put it on, it made me feel like one of those Medieval kings in those fantasy movies. It makes me feel... important, a little. "I know that thy'd like to bask into your all mighty power your majesty, but thy need thy beauty sleep." Twilight said in a Medieval tone. I made the choice to play along, "Thy is right on that point miss Twilight. But thy should get rest as well. Thy need to honor thy kingdom!" I said in a more kingly tone. "Let's just get some sleep." Twilight said rolling her eyes. "*Yawn* Y-yeah, let's." I agreed stretching, while also cracking my knuckles. I then wheeled my way to the guest bed, and somehow plopped onto the mattress. Falling asleep instantly. Before I blacked out though, I heard Twilight say 'Silly Ally.' ~ Running... I was running. I didn't know why though. But I felt that something was chasing me, and I had to get away. I turned around to see a pair of red gleaming eyes staring at me. Giving me a chill up my spine. I didn't know why, but at that moment, my legs gave out and became paralyzed. I couldn't move. I tried to think of something to do, but it was too late. I saw as the creature with red eyes, giving me an evil grin. Then the thing pounced at me. "Wah!" I jumped to a sitting position. I was breathing heavily, remembering the nightmare. It was a short one, but it was terrifying. I looked out the window, seeing the moon was still up. I looked at the time, it was three in the morning. I was sweating like crazy. I wiped my forehead, feeling the sleeve over my head. I sighed in defeat and turned the other direction. I knew that if I have a nightmare on one side, I'll switch to the other side. My eyes got heavy, and returned back into dreamland. ~The Next Day~ ~POV 3rd Person~ Twilight was the first of the household to wake up, at exactly six I the morning. She watched as she saw her new human friend and Spike sleeping soundly. She went to the bathroom, getting herself ready for today. She was planning on giving Ally a tour on Ponyville. She grabbed a brush with her levitation, brushing her messy mane and tail. She was just about to place the toothpaste on her toothbrush, making sure that she didn't put too much or too less. She slowly squeezed the toothpaste out of the tube until... "AHHHHHHHH!!!!" Twilight squeezed the tube to hard and the toothpaste spilled into the sink. > Chapter 6: "Why me!?" > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you know or is one of those people who are awake, but just stays in bed, eyes closed. Well, that's me. I was wide awake, just too lazy to get up and do the normal morning routine. I heard Twilight's hoofsteps going past me and heard the bathroom door close. I finally opened my eyes and saw the ceiling before me. I was still sweating a little after last night, so I wiped my forehead with the sleeve of the robe, but what threw me off was that I saw the end of the sleeve before me. 'But why do I feel something soft...' I went to look at my hand, to see nothing but a hoof. "...AHHHHHHHH!!!!" I fell off the bed at my outburst. As I was getting up, (Sitting up) I saw that my feet were still there. I looked all over myself for anything else. I saw that everything else was still the same, except my hand that were now tan-colored hooves. 'If I wasn't freaking out right now, I would've think this was cool.' I saw that both Twilight and Spike were looking at me, obviously shocked about the human with the hooves as hands before them. "H-how did this even h-happed?" I asked, still nervous. Twilight stood silent. I know I couldn't make this slide, so I tried to get back on the bed. Sadly' it was super hard without hands. At me failing to get on the bed, the quilt was now on the floor with me. "Can someone at least help me!?" I asked, now angry. Twilight was still silent, but I saw her horn glowing, levitating me to my wheelchair. "Thank you!" I tried to wheel myself to Twilight, but with hooves, I couldn't grip on the handles of the wheels. After I tried for the fifth time, I started rubbing my forehead with my hooves, trying to not shout in aggravation. I then tried to get Twilight to snap out of it, successfully doing that, and asking her about 'this'. "I-I don't know how this even happen Ally. D-did you step on anything dangerous?" Twilight asked. "I can't remember..." I said, trying to remember what happened. I was looking down at my hooves, seeing a blue spot in the center of my hooves. "Do you know about this?" I showed the blue spot to Twilight. Twilight just gave a confused stare at the spot. "That looks a bit familiar, but I can't really get my hoof on what it is." I grunted at the useless information Twilight gave. "Anyways." Twilight started. "We should just go on with today; maybe we can remember something else while were outside." "Yeah, ok Twilight." I tried to wheel myself again, this time concentrating on gripping the handles. And successfully, I moved myself. After that, I could fully move myself with the hooves and went down the stairs, gathering momentum. I wheeled myself to the kitchen table, waiting for Twilight and Spike to come as well. As I was waiting, I started to get a tingling sensation on my forehead, but let it slide. When Twilight and Spike came down, they starred at me, jaws dropped. "What?" "We need to fix this fast." Twilight told Spike, him nodding in agreement. "I know that the hooves were a big deal, but what now?" I asked a bit scared. Twilight levitated me a mirror and I saw what was so shocking. One minute, me having my normal brown hair, next thing I knew, my hair was now shorterr than before and was now red. I lifted my hoof, shakily, and touched my hair, feeling how short and real it was. "W-why me..?" I whispered to myself. ~ Freaking out aside, we went outside, trying to act as if I don't have hooves and different colored hair now. Some ponies were out, but when they saw me, they ran for the hills, literally. The only mare that didn't run was Lyra, and she just gave me a confused stare, and nothing else. We arrived at The Carousel Boutique, nobody around. Twilight knocked the door and we heard a 'Coming~' from the inside. Rarity was in the front door with a warm smile, but eyes closed. "Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, where- Oh! Hello Twilight, Darling. What brings you here today?" She asked, not seeing me, yet. "Hello Rarity, we're hear for Ally's fitting." "Why of course, darling, let's just get Ally in to-" She finally saw me, face now showing no emotions at all. 'Nice poker face.' I thought. But before me or Twilight could explain my 'change', Rarity made a scream like no other. I covered my ears with my hooves, even though the hooves didn't really help. "A-Ally? What happened to you!?" Rarity shouted. "Chaged my Avitar." I said sarcastically. I just got a confused stare from both mares. "Ok, I don't really know how or why this happened." I said, looking at my hooves again. I saw that there were smaller blue spots at the flat center of my hooves. "W-well, I'm sorry, dear. But I cant get your measurements if you suddenly change like that. Come back when your back to normal, dear. I'm so sorry." She then closed the door. Everything was silent afterwards. I didn't really had anything else to do, so we went back to the library. Twilight was going to find what was wrong with me and so I had to stay in the library with nothing to do. I tell you one thing, it was super boring. ~ After a full hour, I started remembering what happened when I got to Equestria. I remembered landing in the Everfree, seeing those creatures as Zecora brought me to her Hut, and those blue flowers. I told Twilight everything, but when I told her about the blue flowers, she let out a loud 'Aha!' and brought out a book. "I finally know what you got, Ally!" "Really! What is it!?" I asked eagerly. "You landed in poison joke!" "... Poison Joke?" "It's a type of poisonous plant that changes a ponies appearance. I didn't even know that it could also effect humans as well!" Twilight explained. "So how do we cure it?" I asked. "Well, it seems that we're having a trip to the spa." All I could say was, "What?" > Chapter 7: "I'm Cured!... Sorta." > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Wait. So let me get this straight?" I started. "I have this thing called 'Poison Joke'?" Twilight nodded. "And the only way to cure this is a bath at the Ponyville Spa?" "Well, the bath has the cure within the water, but it's the most relaxing way to get cured." Twilight explained. "Ya know, I never really went to the spa... ever!" "Really? Why?" I pointed at my legs and wheelchair. "Oh. I guess that means that spa's near you have stairs." "Yeah, and I really wanted to try one session. Some of my friends used to say that it felt like the whole world was off your back for once." Twilight gave me a confused stare. "It's a figure of speech, Twilight." "Oh!" I hoof-palmed at Twilights stupidity. 'And I thought she was the smart one in the group.' I thought. We finally arrived at the Ponyville Spa, and with the spell that Twilight did to my wheelchair, the ramp appeared in front of me, then disappeared behind me as I wheeled inside. Before I could see anything, two mares of the reverse colors of there main and coat came out of nowhere and started speaking. "Welcome!" They said in unison. "I'm Aloe!" The pink coated mare said. "I'm Lotus!" The blue coated mare then said. "How may we service yo-" They stopped once they saw me, mouths still opened. But as soon as Twilight walked in, they snapped out of there confused, yet curious trance at me. "Oh! Well hello miss Twilight Sparkle!" Said Lotus. "Vat a vonderful time to see you mam'" Said Aloe next. It was kinda cool that they sorta said a sentence together. Made me a little confused at some times. But i was too busy looking around the waiting room to listen to Twilight's conversation on the twins. The place itself looked a little fancy for my taste. But then again, I've never been to a spa before. They even had a little map on the front: 'How cute...' I thought. I saw the main six in different areas of the map, and even saw the CMC in the front desk. I didn't notice one of the twins walking up to me. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned my head, seeing Lotus beside me. "Um, excuse me, miss..." "Ally." I said my name. "Yes! Miss Ally? May you come with me for your herbal bath, please?" She asked. "Oh, okay." I started following her to the next room. Just like in the map, I first saw the massage tables and a giant pool. I saw Aloe and a tan earth mare pour some green powdered stuff in the pool. I was just about to wheel up the stairs, until the Lotus stopped me. "I'm sorry Miss Ally; but the boardwalk can't support your wheelchair weight, do you mind riding on me please?" She asked. "No need. I know just what to do in these types of situations." I stated, and before she could ask, I pushed myself in a handstand position. My skirt went downward, showing the short that were hidden under the skirt. (What? You think that I wasn't prepared for this? Ya Perverts!) Lotus was starring at me, mouth open. "W-what are you doing?" She asked. "What I'm doing is called a handstand mam'." I answered. I started walking with my hooves, up the stairs, while also moving some of the orange-reddish hair out of my eyesight. When I reached the top, the other two earth ponies that were pouring the herb powder were watching me with confusion. (I would too if I saw a human girl with hooves as hands doing a handstand.) But before I can explain myself, Twilight was calling me from the bottom. Turning my head, I saw Twilight's nervous expression. "Ally!? What are you doing?" "It's called a handstand Twilight. Some people do this for fun, but I'm doing it to get in the herbal bath." I explained. "Ya really need to chill o-" I couldn't finish my sentence cause I suddenly felt a ton of pain on my back. "Nnngg!" I tried to stifle my scream, but I didn't realize that I lost my balance, falling into the herbal bath. As I felt the herbs work there magic, I felt that something was ripping my back from the inside. I felt my skin tearing where my wing bone was supposed to be. I could see some of my blood through the water. By the way, I was screaming like someone was tearing me apart, but all you can really see was bubble coming out of my mouth. ~Outside the Herbal Bath~ ~3rd Person POV~ "Ohnoohnoohnoohonohno!" Twilight franticly said, looking at the red-changing pool. "Oh my!" Lotus said in nervousness. "Is that supposed to happen?" Aloe asked out loud. "No! This shouldn't be happening! Nonononononono! What should I do? Oh! I know! I'll go get the girls!" But before Twilight could run out the door; The human in distress, popped out of the pool, gasping for air, and slowly swam out of the bath. "Somepony help her out!" Twilight demanded. The Spa Twins helped Ally out of the pool. Ally seemed normal, but when they saw her backside, everypony gasped at the sight before them. "Oh my Celestia..." Twilight said under her breath. ~Ally's POV~ 'Man, what a bath!' I thought. 'I need to breath for a second.' I tried to get up, but I couldn't. 'Dumb unmovable legs!' I finally looked up seeing the twins, the tan earth mare, and Twilight looking at me with stunned looks on there muzzles. "Wha-what... happened?" I asked, still outta breath. "Ally. You-you go-got-" Twilight stuttered. "What! I got what?" I asked a little scared. But before anyone could explain, I saw the tips of tan wings in the corner of my eyes. I turned my head, seeing two giant angelic wings on my back, while also seeing the torn shirt and sweater that was still on me. I reacted like any sane person would do in a situation like this; I screamed. I somehow sat myself up and started tugging at the wings, it hurt, but nothing else. "WH-WHAT THE HELL!!!!" I shouted. "WHY THE FUCK TO I HAVE WINGS!?!?" "N-now, Ally? There should be a logical explana-" I stopped Twilight right there. "NO! THERE IS NOTHING LOGICAL ABOUT ME HAVING DAMN WINGS, TWILIGHT!" But before I could continue telling Twilight off, she put a zip-it spell on me, shutting me up. "Listen, Ally. This is no reason to get all hot headed about this," She started. I gave her a look that could kill. "But I think I know how you feel... A little," She then took a breath. "When I got these wings, I was actually scared, just like you. But I couldn't show it in front of my friends, and that was a big step for me, being a Alicorn all of a sudden. But I kept my cool, and look where I'm at. Still living the peaceful life with my friends, and blending with the crowd, getting little attention. It may not seem like a lot, but I love living like this." I gave a sigh while looking down in guilt. Twilight finally unzipped my mouth and I spoke. "I-I'm sorry Twilight. I was just so surprised at this," I moved my wings a little. "Now, where I come from, I'm a freak. I-If I somehow came back home, the FBI will be looking for me... and might to horrible things to me to figure out how I work with these wings." I explained. "Don't worry Ally, I bet your friends and family won't make that happen." "Hmm. You may be right about that." I said, relaxing a little. "But I do know who might be a little happy about this." I said smiling. "Who?" "Rainbow Dash! I bet she will say something like, 'All Right! A new flying buddy!'" I copied Rainbow's voice. "Ya know, that was just what Rainbow said when I got my wings." After that, we had a good laugh about it. As we left the spa, Twilight paid the herbal bath session and we were on our way to the Carousel Boutique. 'I have a feeling that Rarity will be more surprised now than before.' > Chapter 8: Just Winging It. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ugh! Dumb wings." I said out loud. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked, her walking right next to me. She then saw my discomfort on the wheelchair, seeing me trying to tuck my wings while also sitting on the edge of my seat. "Oh." "Umm. Twilight? If it's not too much, can you help me out?" I asked shyly. "Don't worry, just like I said before, there's a spell for almost everything. Just give be a sec." Twilight answered. I waited as Twilight fired up her horn, making me see her raspberry aura appearing slowly. As seconds passed, her magic aura got bigger and brighter, making me feel a little uncomfortable. Twilight then pointed her horn downward, towards my wheelchair. "Get off!" Twilight shouted. Then, without warning, she fired her spell. I quickly used my wings to propel myself off the wheelchair. I only stayed in the air for a few seconds, cause I quickly fell to the floor, on my chest. As a raised my head from the dirt trail, I saw as my wheelchair was being bent in all different directions. Then the light from the spell got too bright that I had to look away. I then heard Twilight taking in deep breaths. I heard her breathing and her hooves walking towards me. I looked up to see Twilight looming over me. Twilight tilted her head towards where my wheelchair was. To find out that Twilight changed it to fit my needs. I saw that the seat was bigger and now the backside of the wheelchair is lower for my wings. I slowly crawled myself towards the improved wheelchair. I set myself up, seeing that the seat was now more comfortable. "Thanks, Twilight. I needed this." I thanked her. "No problem. It's what friends do for each other." Twilight replied. "Now let's get to Rarity's before she forgets about the whole thing." "Oh, I know that Rarity won't want to miss an opportunity like this." "Your probably right about that." And so we continued on our way to Rarity's place. ~ As we approached our way, I couldn't help but see a familiar pony looking through the window, showing a rather shocked expression seeing me. I waved at the white filly, but she quickly ducked from the window. But I could still she her horn popping out. "Who are you waving at?" Twilight asked. "Sweetie Belle." I answered. "She was looking out that window." I pointed at the exact window the white unicorn was peaking out of. "Oh, well when we get inside, you could maybe say hello to her afterwards." Twilight insisted. "Nah. I think I'll save my greeting for all the members of the CMC." I explained. "Okay then. Let me knock first." "Knock what- oh." I saw that we were in front of the carousel boutique already. I waited as Twilight knocked on the two-pieced door. After Twilight knocked twice on the door, we both waited patiently for the white mare to open the door, but all we heard was the mare inside. "Can you open the door Sweetie? I'm a bit busy here. I'm just doing the finishing touches on our little newcomer." We heard Rarity's voice. "But that things outside. It might attack you!" We heard a squeaky voice reply to Rarity. "Sweetie Belle! That 'thing' is the little newcomer and a new friend of mine, so open the door or you won't be allowed to go crusading with your friends, now!" We heard Rarity shout. We then heard a groan, then saw the door slowly opening. We both looked down to see a green eye poking from the crack of the door. She first saw Twilight but when she eyed me, the little filly squeaked, then left. "Ugh! Do I have to do everything myself" I heard Rarity's voice becoming louder. The door then opened wide and we saw Rarity giving a warm smile. "Sorry, Twilight and Ally. Sweetie's a bit shy at newcomers in Ponyville. Anywho, come in, come in you two." I guessed that Rarity didn't noticed the new appendages yet, so I slowly wheeled myself inside before Twilight trotted inside. That was then I heard a familiar scream coming from the white unicorn. "Oh my stars, darling! What are these!" She stretched on of my wings for emphasis. "Oh! Sorry Rarity, but it seemed that Ally stepped in some Poison Joke and it seems that the special herbs didn't really cure her. And this happened." Twilight explained. "Oh, how dreadful!" Rarity whined. "Now your beautiful shirt and jacket are ruined! But not to worry! Mama Rarity will fix these while making a whole new attire for you." "Really Rarity? Are you sure that's a little too much?" I asked. "No! Not at all. To tell you the truth, it's really an honor to make an attire for a whole new species." Rarity explained. "Umm. Alright then, if your up for it." "Absolutely, darling. Now! Come with me to the other room to make me take your measurements." Rarity then started wheeling me to another room, while Twilight opened the door for us. "See you later, Ally." Twilight called out. I just gave a wave back in response. While I was being pushed to the other room, I didn't noticed a white filly eyeing me from behind. ~3rd person P.O.V.~ Sweetie Belle watched from the stairs, seeing her big sister pushing the strange winged creature to another room. While everypony was helping the 'thing' to the other room, Sweetie Belle quickly sneaked herself out the back door, galloping as fast as she could to the CMC's clubhouse. 'I gotta tell my friends about the alien!' Sweetie thought as she ran through the many apple trees. As Sweetie Belle neared the clubhouse, she saw her other two friends walking inside the clubhouse itself. Sweetie was now breathing heavily as she walked up the latter, making both her friends look back, seeing there now tired unicorn friend. "Sweetie? Are you alright?" Scootaloo asked. "I-it's a... emergency! Rarity. Twilight. Alien... trouble. Now!" Sweetie tried to explain. "Woah, woah, Sweetie. Slow down! Take a deep breath." Apple Bloom helped Sweetie Belle up to her hooves. "So-sorry. I, just. I saw a weird creature enter my sister's store and Twilight was there too. They were speaking to it like it was another pony. But it was on some odd contraption, making it move itself without using it's legs." Sweetie Belle explained. "Ya mean an Alien?" Apple Bloom asked. "Yeah! There's a alien in the carousel boutique! And it might have Twilight and my sister in some mind control spell!" Sweetie started shivering at the thought of her sister being trapped within a Alien ship. "There's an Alien in Rarity's home!?" Both Apple Bloom and Scootaloo shouted. Sweetie Belle just gave a small nod. "Wait a minute? We could get our monster catching cutie marks this time!" Apple Bloom said. "Yeah, your right AB. We could catch this thing and we can be hero's!" "YEAH!" All three said in unison. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS MONSTER CATCHERS, YAY!!!" "So let's think of a good enough plan to catch the beast." Scootaloo said. "Inside!" Apple Bloom ran inside the clubhouse, setting up a list of ways to catch the beast that is now slowly taking over Equestria. > Chapter 9: [Cuteness Intensifies] > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh, Darling. Your body is rather thin." Rarity commented. "Well I need to be in good shape to become a great daredevil, Rarity." I explained. "True, true." Rarity then continued measuring my waist. At first I felt a bit uncomfortable getting undressed for Rarity, but thankfully she made me keep my underwear and bra on. She also identified what my clothes were made out of... specifically. I was currently sitting on the little stage in the boutique that Rarity had for modeling ponies. So far she measured my arms, legs, feet, and even measured my neck for some weird reason. As Rarity was measuring me, Twilight was in the other room, using my Laptop for learning human information. Of course Twilight asked first, and is currently using her magic to make fake fingers... like Celestia did on that one video called Pony High. But sadly, sometimes I have to explain to her certain things when she come in, thinking that she broke it. "Darling?" She got my attention. "I never noticed it until now, but you have a face for the innocent... Perhaps I could make you some cute outfits as well. And maybe if you outgrow your mane-" "Hair." I corrected her. "Yes, hair. If you let it grow out, maybe I could test some cute styles on it." Rarity said. Fact about me, I really don't know why, but I like it when someone uses me like a Barbie doll. The way they choose there outfits, they way they to there hair. And if you brush my hair for awhile, I might fall asleep on you. I tried to get out of this little habit, but it's just that Emily was the stylish one of the group. If it wasn't for her, I would've been dressed in regular jeans and a plain shirt right now. "Sure." "Really? Even though your the sporty type like Rainbow? I thought you would hate fashion like she did." Rarity said. "Well, one of my friends liked to play dress up with me, so I just got used to being a bit stylish. And a lot of people used to say I got an innocent face before." I explained. "Oh, well. I'm finished with your measurements, so you can go back to Twilight and wait awhile. I think I can finish it in an hour or so. So you can go if you want to." Rarity notified me. "Thanks, Rarity." "Don't thank me yet darling; I haven't even made the outfits yet." "Okay then. Do you think you can get my wheelchair?" I asked. "Why, of course, Darling." She then turned around to get my wheelchair. I didn't know why, but I coulda sworn that it was next to the door. Maybe it was just me. Rarity then came back, with a nervous look on her face. "What's wrong? Where's my wheelchair?" I asked two questions. "I'm sorry, Ally. But it seems that your wheelchair went missing." "What!?" I shouted. "What do you mean it went missing? I'm nothing without it!" I started freaking out. I had that thing for years, ever since the incident. It hold way too many memories to just replace it. I met my two best friends on it and even went on my first ramp on it. I then curled myself into a ball, while hugging my motionless legs. "It's okay. Maybe it's in another room, or maybe Twilight brought it with her." Rarity then left the room, looking for my wheelchair. When the door closed, I started crying. I know that I'm useless without it and I can't keep doing handstands forever. I tried that once, which ended in me breaking one of my arms trying to go down the stairs in high school. Of course I was too into thought to notice three little fillies peaking through the door. ~Third Person POV~ As Rarity and Twilight (who join when she heard what was going on) were trying to find Ally's wheelchair, the CMC were watching the odd creature cry in the stage. "Ah don't think that was a good idea." Apple Bloom said. "What do you mean? We decided to take the medal thing cause it was it's source of power." Scootaloo explained. "But ah think it was more than a power source. Ah think the two-wheeled thing to the creature is as important as mah bow on mah head and my big sis's hat." Apple Bloom said. "I think your right. But it too late for that! We need to stop this thing and save my sis." Sweetie Belle said. "It's weak right now, so we need to take action. For Equestria!" She shouted. "For Equestria!" The other two crusaders chanted. "Attack!" All three then ran towards the creature. ~Ally's POV~ I was finally dressed, still reminiscing about missing my wheelchair. Now that I think about it, I never really cared for it until right now. I guess you don't know what you have until it's gone. It's rather funny now that I think about- "Attack!" I heard a trio of voices shouting. I turned to see three familiar fillies running towards me. What I didn't see coming was Sweetie Belle plucking a feather from Scootaloo's wing, both showing a determined grin. They then jumped on the stage, all three now holding a feather in the muzzles. "Your reign of terror ends NOW!" They then started tickling me with the feathers, instantly making me start laughing. One thing about me is that I'm super ticklish. "St-o-o-o-o-p! Wh-wh-a-a-t d-d-o y-o-o-u wa-a-a-nt?" I said between laughter. "Free my sister and Twilight! We know that every villains weakness is laughter, so fess up!" Sweetie Belle said. "Wha-at-t a-ar-e y-y-o-u talk-k-k-ing abo-u-u-u-t?" I asked, my face starting to turn red. But before any of the three could answer. "GIRLS!" The two mares that ran in shouted. "Rarity! Are you released from the curse?" Sweetie Belle ran to her sister. "Sweetie Belle! How could you (sorta) attack Ally?" Rarity gave a angry glare at the little filly. "I thought she mind controlled you two, making you treat it like it was a regular pony." Sweetie explained. "Didn't... you learned anything... from Zecora?" I asked, a little out of breath. "You know Zecora?" Apple Bloom asked. "She... she's the one who... found me." I said. "Really? Did you mind controlled her too?" Scootaloo eyed me. "I can't even mind control anyone. It's nothing but a fake super power." I explained. "So you really treat it like a regular pony?" Apple Bloom asked. "Girls, I know Ally is a bit... different then everypony else, but like she said, didn't you learn anything from Zecora? Especially you Apple Bloom; your the one who even figure out the truth about her." Twilight said. "Oh." Apple Bloom's ears went downwards. "Anyways, we'll deal with this later. Now we need to find Ally's wheelchair." "Oh. Um, about that." Scootaloo said. "Don't tell me, you took it?" Rarity said a bemused tone. "Hehe... yeah." "Just get it." Twilight told them. "Yes, Twilight." All three then left the room, later returning with my wheelchair. "Oh, thank you." I then grabbed my wheelchair, setting myself up. "Now." Rarity got the three fillies attention. "What do we say?" All three then lined up in front of me. "We're sorry." All three said. "Can you forgive us?" They then brought out the puppy eyes. I didn't know why, but as I stared at the increased cuteness, my heart started beating faster. The longer I stared, the faster my heartbeat went. I didn't know how long I stared , cause when I heard Twilight say 'Ally? are you okay?' Everything just went black. ~Third Person POV~ "Ahhhh!" Everyone screamed in terror. "Wha-what happened?" Sweetie Belle started tearing. "I don't know." Twilight walked up to the down Ally, seeing if she could hear a heartbeat... there was none. "Oh my gosh! Ally, don't go!" Twilight then got her magic ready, rubbing two bars of magic together. "Twilight what's wrong?" Rarity asked the purple alicorn. "CLEAR!" Twilight then pressed the bars, making Ally's body jump. Twilight then continued. "Darling? What are you doing?" "Trying to bring Ally back. CLEAR!" She placed the bars back on Ally's chest, making her body jump again. "What do you mean 'bring her back'?" Rarity asked. "Ally's had a heart attack. Due to too much cuteness. CLEAR!" This time when they made contact, Ally jumped awake. Ally let out a huge gasp. "I saw the light! It was beautiful." "Oh, Ally." The two mares hugged the human. "That was a crazy experience." Ally rubbed her eyes. "One I do not what to go through again." "We're sorry Ally. We didn't mean to give you a heart attack, honestly. Can you forgive us?" All three apologized, showing the puppy eyes again. "Hurk!" "And there goes Ally. CLEAR!" Twilight used the bars again. > Chapter 10: Dressing Montage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the CMC apologized without the puppy eyes, I could finally accept there apology while my heart still beating. It was really odd dying 20 times in a row and being brought to life. I coulda sworn I saw Jesus rolling his eyes at me every time I came back. We also figured out that the CMC were the ones that hid my wheelchair, adding another scolding from the two unicorn mares. They retrieved it from the backyard, in which it was hidden behind some bushes. But on another note, Rarity was using this time to get started on making new clothes for me. When the CMC left to go back to crusading, Rarity came up to me and told me that she already finished three outfits for me. Wow! With Twilight's help, I got back on my wheelchair, following Rarity to her work station, where the outfit's she made were left. I wasn't allowed to see the clothes until Rarity or Twilight put the outfit on me. With eyes closed, I cooperated without any questions, knowing that no matter what I say, they won't change there minds on this plan. I didn't know what was going on, but all I could feel was my clothes being removed and a fresher pair wrapping around me. It felt weird, but enjoyable at the same time. Not knowing what was going on made me a bit giddy, wondering on what it is. I felt my wheelchair being moved, probably moving me in front of a mirror to see what I'm wearing now. "Okay, Darling! You may open your eyes." I hear Rarity say. I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was pink. I looked to see that I was wearing was a strapless shirt that wrapped around my chest area. I looked towards my legs to see that I was wearing a simple grayish-blue shorts. And I also was wearing some light blue sneakers. I really liked it. It showed a lot of skin, but I didn't care. I looked cute. "Do you like it?" Twilight asked. "Yeah. It's really simple, but unique." I complimented it. "Oh, how wonderful! I knew you'd like it." Rarity was very pleased. "Now! Let's try the other two." "Okay." I agreed, closing my eyes. The same routine happened: strip off, put on, and see the results. The second outfit was a stripped short-sleeved shirt and a pink sweater. The only thing was that it was cut down to show my stomach. And on my legs were black baggy pants. And on my head was a back and red baseball cap, and on my feet were back sneakers. "Cool." Was all I could as I eyed my reflection. After I changed again, the third outfit was a black long-sleeved shirt with little tears around the sleeves. It had three skulls on the center area. There was also a red plaid skirt with a belt around the top. I was also wearing back stripped stockings and back shoes. When I changed back to my original clothes. I told rarity that the new clothes were wonderful and I loved them. She told me in response that she would make me more without a second thought. She even gave me them for free. In which I had to find a way to repay her in some way. As Rarity showed us the way out, we saw that the CMC were outside waiting for us. Sweetie and Apple Bloom just standing and Scootaloo on her scooter. "What are you doing here?" Twilight asked a bit curious. "Again were sorry for hurting you and repeatedly killing you." Apple Bloom apologized. "It's in the past. So what are you doing here?" I asked this time. "Scoot's noticed that your machine runs on for-hoof power and she was wondering if maybe she can have a little race with you." Sweetie Belle explained. "Really?" I eyes the orange filly. "Yeah! You seem kinda cool and I wanna race from hear to the library." Scootaloo showed a determined look at me. "Sure." I bluntly accepted. "Seriously?" Scootaloo asked "Yeah. I seem like in a racing mood. So let's go." I then slowly set myself up. "Twilight? Do you mind?" I asked her. "No. Not at all. I'll meet you two at the entrance." Twilight then started running, charging her horn, then teleported away. "Now! Shall we?" I gave the little pegasus a calm grin. "Oh yeah."
