(Rewriting) After encountering a strange object in a forest during a field trip, five 4th graders get taken to Equestria. What could go wrong?
(Rewritting) In a quiet little mountain town in Colorado, an elementary school is taking a field trip. When a few of them wonder off, they discover something that takes them to a new world. Equestria. In the evilest of all places, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Butters must find a way back, or literally die of boredom. (T, Contains a bit of bad language and references. Read at own risk XD) [Crappy Cover Art belongs to me]
South Park, Colorado. A simple, quiet town in the mountains. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happens to the peaceful folks that live there. But something exciting is going on. The forth graders are going on a field trip. What fun!
"Ugh!! This is SOOOO boring!" A boy with a red poofball hat whined.
"The other classes get to go to the museums, but we get to go to the nature preserve. It's just like the cow farm all over again..." Another boy, one with a green hat, added.
"This bus ride is taking forever" a fat child with a yellow poofball hat groaned while taking a handful of chips.
"Stan? You didn't happen to bring anything to do, did you?" The green-hatted boy asked.
"Sorry Kyle, if I did I would have said something by now." Stan replied.
"Crap! I ran outta chips." The larger fourth grader complained.
"Well maybe if you didn't eat so much Cartman..."
"Shut up Kahl, you stupid Jew!"
"Mmph mmm mpph mmm mmrm" Another forth grader said, voiced muffled by his orange parka.
"Kenny's right guys, we'll be there in a few minutes." Stan added.
"Yeah, then we get to be even border" Cartman sighed.
"It's 'more bored' dumb ass" Kyle corrected.
"Shut up Kahl!!! I say whatever the hell I want!"
"You know fellas, I'm kinda excited to see all of the cute animals at the nature preserve." A boy with blonde hair said quietly.
"Shut up Butters... Nobody cares." Cartman snorted.
The bus ride seemed endless, until finally, the forth graders arrived at the very fun nature preserve! The teacher stood in front of the bus aisle. "Alright kids, when you get off the bus, wait by the entrance with your group, ok?"
"Yes Mr. Garrison" the students replied in unison. They all swarmed off the bus and into a parking lot, where the doors to the nature preserve were. Stan stood by the bus, waiting for his group to get off. Suddenly, he saw something out of the corner of his eye.
"What the..." He starred in confusion at the forest, where it appeared something ran in. Stan looked over his shoulder to make sure no one payed attention, then ran to the forest. When he got to the tree line, he took one last glance, before charging in. The trees became bunched together, and the undergrowth grew thicker as he pushed through. Suddenly, a twig he pushed away whipped right back into his face.
"Damnit!!" He growled through clenched teeth as he put his hands on his cheek. "Screw this, I came here for nothing..." Stan turned around and pushed his way back towards the open space.
Just as he was about to go, he heard something that sounded like a cheesy sparkle sound effect. He turned back around. "Last time I checked, animals don't sound like that..." He muttered. Stan pushed back into the forest, using his arm to sheild himself from the branches. The undergrowth became thicker and thicker, until Stan finally broke into a small clearing. He coughed a couple times and rubbed his eyes. When he opened them, his jaw dropped. "What...is that..."
In the middle of the clearing, was what seemed to be a rainbow orb thing, levitating On a beam of light. Stan walked up to it hesitantly. "I've never seen anything like this before..." He whispered. He reached out a hand to touch it. It was only inches away when...
"Stan?" The black-haired forth grader turned around to see Kyle with Kenny, Cartman, and Butters.
"H-how did you guys..."
"Kenny saw you heading into the forest. We didn't need our group separated, so we came to get you. We followed a trail of broken branches. Plus, you dropped hat in here." Kyle held up his trademark blue and red poof ball hat.
Stan reached up to touch his head, never noticing that his hat had got caught in a tree. Kyle handed it to him.
"This doesn't really look like the nature preserve fellas..." Butters commented.
"For the last God damn time Butters, this isn't the freaking nature preserve!" Cartman screeched.
"Oh gee..." The blond whimpered, twiddling his thumbs.
"Anyway, why the hell did you run in here in the first place?" Kyle interrupted.
"Well, I thought I saw something, so I felt curious and checked it out. I almost thought it was a lost cause, but...." Stan stepped out of the way. "... I guess I was wrong."
All of the boys gasped in awe. "Mmm mph mmn mnmp mm?" Kenny questioned.
"I don't know... Maybe it's like...enchanted..." Stan suggested.
"I seriously doubt it..." Cartman crossed his arms.
"Well... It could be...and I'm usually the last to admit that" Kyle added.
"One way to find out...." Stan mumbled and approached the strange orb.
"No Stan! I wouldn't touch that!" Kyle warned. But it was too late. Almost immediately on contact, the orb shattered, filling the clearing with a whirlwind of rainbows. The boys were pulled into a torrent of colors and into a vortex. Everything went black.
Kyle's head hurt. He couldn't remember anything except for the strange blast from the orb Stan found. He wasn't sure if he was still on the ground in the forest, or somewhere else. Perhaps Mr. Garrison saw the blast and someone took them to the hospital? No way... Then where were they? Kyle opened his eyes and coughed. He sat up and looked in front of himself with blurred vision. The trees were there, but he was no longer on the forest. Instead, they were at the tree line once again.
"Y-you guys? What happened?" Kyle could hear Stan somewhere nearby. But his neck hurt too much to look behind himself.
"I don't know dude..." The red-head replied.
"Um... F-fellas?" Butters said, his voice quivering in fear. "Something's wrong with my body..."
"Butters... What did I tell you? We don't want to hear about your personal issues..." Cartman groaned.
"I-I don't think this one's personal... Since it happened to you too."
Cartman looked down at himself in confusion. Then whispered, "My God..."
Kyle stood up. But to his surprise, he could only walk on all fours. So he practically crawled over to a nearby puddle. He crept to the edge and looked. He gasped. He had no fingers, just strange hoof things. He also had larger ears and face. He almost resembled a horse, except orange with a curly red mane. He touched his face with his....hoof. "What the hell....." He whispered.
Suddenly, he heard a scream. He turned to see Stan standing on his hind legs, staring down at himself. He was a brown horse with a black mane and blue eyes. "WHAT AM I?!" He cried out.
"We're weird technicolor pony things dumbass..." Cartman replied. He was a reddish-brown pony with a brown mane and yellow eyes. He was sitting with his hooves crossed over his chest.
"A PONY?! WHY THE HELL AM I A FUCKING PONY?!" Stan yelled.
"Dude! Calm down!" Kyle exclaimed. "Im sure there's a reason for this!"
"You sure we're not on drugs or something?" Cartman asked.
"I don't like this fellas..." Butters whimpered. He was a teal pony with a yellow mane and blue-green eyes.
"I don't think any of us like it..." Stan let out an agitated breath and put a hoof on his forehead.
"I'm sure we can figure out what's wrong with us somehow." Kyle sat down, trying to think. "So let's see, we found a rainbow orb and it knocked us out. Now we're ponies. I bet that orb has something to do with the fact that we're colorful farm animals. And what the hell is this?!" He suddenly exclaimed and pointed to a horn on his forehead.
"Oh my God Kyle! Now you're a Jewnicorn!" Cartman smiled at his own pun.
Kyle opened his mouth to say a remark, but was cut off when a shadow passed over their heads. A yellow Pegasus with a golden brown mane, blue eyes, and an orange parka flew over. "Mph mmmmph mmmn mpmm!" He cheered.
"Aw no fair! Kenny gets wings?" Cartman complained.
"Even if you had any, you'd be too fat to be picked up..." Kyle snorted.
"Shut up Jewnicorn..."
Kenny landed an said, "mmphm mmm mmmmph mmph?"
"Yeah, he has a point. The orb could still be in the forest. Maybe we can still get home!" Stan said with hope.
"But didn't it break or something?" Kyle pointed out. "Besides, do you really want to search through that forest? We're in a place were humans become ponies. Who knows what kinda hellish creatures lie beyond those trees?"
"Damnit Kyle....why must you be right...." Stan smacked his forehead. "Ok. Let's go look for some help."
"Mmph?" Kenny asked.
"How bout there?" Butters suggested, pointing towards a colorful town, about a half mile away.
"That would probably help...." Stan said. "Ok guys, let's go..." •.•.•.•
The boys arrived into the town about fifteen minutes later. Sure enough, there were lots of other technicolored ponies roaming the streets. They all looked so colorful and happy.
"Damn this place is gay as shit..." Cartman said to himself.
"Let's just ask someone something..." Stan looked around, until he saw a pink pony with a poofy dark pink mane. "How about her?"
Kyle walked up to the mare and said, "Excuse me? Me and my friends are kinda lost and I was hoping you could...." Suddenly, the pony gasped and jumped into the air, then ran off like a bolt of lightning. Kyle stood in shock.
"Wow..." Cartman stared after her in confusion.
"Well... I guess that happened...." Stan blinked.
"Now what do you suppose we do?" Butters asked.
"I don't know about you, but I'm starving." Cartman spoke.
"You just ate a bag of chips fatass!" Kyle yelled.
"And that was awhile ago. We could have been unconscious for awhile...." The red earth pony pointed out.
"Huh... He's right, who knows how long we've been unconscious" Stan agreed.
"Well, I am looking for food. See ya" Cartman announced and walked away.
"Mmmmph mmmph mmmn!" Kenny called.
"He's right! We should stick together!" Stan called after him.
"I'd flip you off if I had fingers!" Cartman yelled back.
"Forget it... That dumbass doesn't even have any money!" Kyle rolled his eyes. "Watch how far he gets."
"In the meantime, we should look around." Stan suggested.
"Good idea. Then we'll meet back up with fattso and get some answers ers." Kyle smiled.
The boys started to walk down the sidewalk. They passed many buildings in the process, including a really big tree house thing. As they continued down the streets, they suddenly heard a noise above their heads. "Get back here!"
A light blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail was zooming through the sky, trying to catch a cloud.
"What's that crazy person doing?" Butters asked.
Suddenly, the mare kicked the cloud, and then a lightning bolt struck from the cloud. "Look out!" the Pegasus exclaimed. The boys screamed and ran away. Kenny tried to fly off, but the bolt hit him. He let out a muffled screech before falling to the ground, twitching with the electricity.
Stan and Kyle ran back over. "Oh my God! They killed Kenny!" Stan gasped.
"You bastard!" Kyle angrily shook his hoof at the Pegasus, who flew down to the ground.
"Oh dang, is that guy ok?!" The rainbow-maned pony gasped.
"I dunno, let me ask him!" Stan smiled sarcastically. "Hey Ken, you ok? Oh that's right, he's DEAD!"
Just then, Kenny sat up and and waved. "Mmph mmmmn mpmm mpph mrm!" He reassured.
"Oh never mind. He's ok." Stan said.
"Sorry about that, those clouds are rediculous. I gotta go, bye!" She unfolded her wings and took off.
"Is there no sane person in this town?!" Kyle exclaimed.
"Guess not..." Stan sighed. "Come on, let's just go get fatass. Maybe we can get help wherever HE'S at." •.•.•.•
The boys walked past the colorful buildings. Stan looked around. As he did, he noticed that there were not very many ponies out in the streets. "Where do you think everyone's at?" He asked.
"Not sure. Better question, where the hell is Cartman?" Kyle said looking around.
"Mrm mrrm mrrmph mm mmmr." Kenny pointed to a building that looked strangly like a piece of cake. Stan let out a long sigh and rolled his eyes. The boys walked through the doors. The scent of cake and pastries was overwhelming.
"If he's not here, I don't know where he is..." Stan commented. Sure enough, the forth grader was sitting at a table, scarfing down a plate of sugar cookies.
"How the hell did you get those?!" Kyle exclaimed.
Cartman looked over and took a slow bite of a cookie. "Um... Baby pony discount...." He said with his mouth full.
"No you didn't asshole...." Kyle growled.
"Okay, okay... I found a gold thing on the ground and I spent it on food. They also gave me a discount..."
"Well we need to go. We still haven't found any help."
"Nah I'm good..."
Kyle walked up and smacked the cookies on the ground. "I said we're leaving..."
"Fuck you Kahl..." Cartman grumbled. He stood up and started towards the door. The others followed. Cartman hesitated for a bit, then turned back to shove the cookies in his mouth, then walked back outside.
Stan took the lead. "Ok, so we should... Oh God damnit!" He looked up at the sky and saw that it was becoming darker. "It's almost night time and we still have no idea where we are!!!"
"Gee, what are we gonna do?" Butters asked, his ears flattened.
Just then, Kenny called over, "Mmmph mmmph mm mmmrm!" He waved a hoof over. The forth graders walked over. Kenny held up what looked like a folded note. Stan took it and unfolded it.
"Go to the library! (AKA the big tree thing. You can't miss it!)" Stan read. He looked around until his eyes locked onto a huge tree with doors and windows.
"Maybe someone there can help us!" Butters smiled.
"Then let's go!" Stan said happily. They all ran towards the library. When they got there, Kyle opened the door. It was all dark in the room and became pitch black when Kenny shut the door.
"Hello?" Stan called out into the seemingly empty room. Suddenly, the lights turned on. The room was full of ponies of every color. Streamers were thrown onto the boys. "SURPRISE!" They all said.
"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you!" The pink pony that ran away before bounced over to greet the startled fourth graders. "I bet you remember when I saw you earlier today. I jumped up in surprise because I didn't know you, and I know everypony, that means that you're new to Ponyville!" The earth pony smiled.
"Eeeeuhhhhh..... Yeah we remember...." Stan looked up awkwardly. This ''Pinkie Pie'' was way taller than himself and the others, which ment she was probably like an adult.
"You should meet my friends! I told them all about you!" Pinkie jumped away. Stan glanced at Kyle, who shrugged. So the five followed the hyper party pony. She led them around the smiling faces of Ponyville and into a corner. There were five another ponies. They were all talking. One of them turned around to see the boys and smiled.
"Hello young colts!" She smiled. She was a purple pony with a dark purple and pink mane. She had both wings AND a horn.
"Hi..." Kyle replied.
"We heard you were new to Ponyville" the purple one said. "We wanted to welcome you personally! What are your names?"
The boys glanced at each other awkwardly. Then, Kyle stepped forward. "Well, my name is Kyle, that's Stan, Butters, and Cartman." He said, pointing a hoof to each of his classmates.
"Mm mmrm mmrmmmph" Kenny said.
"Ugh...what?" The purple pony asked in confusion.
"He said his name's Kenny." Stan explained.
"Strange names..." Twilight commented, in which the boys replied with confused looks. "Anyways, my name is Princess Twilight Sparkle."
A white unicorn with purple hair walked up next. "Greetings! My name is Rarity."
"The name's AppleJack!" An orange, southern pony with a pale yellow mane introduced.
"You know me!" Pinkie Pie giggled.
Then, a familiar, blue Pegasus flew over. Stan gasped. "She's the one who almost killed Kenny!" He whispered.
"I'm Rainbow Dash! Don't suppose you heard of me?"
"No..." Cartman growled. Rainbow Dash snorted angrily in response.
"And OUR names are strange?" Kyle remarked.
"And this is FlutterShy!" Twilight pointed to a yellow Pegasus with pink hair. She was talking to another pony. "Hey Flutters! Wanna say hello to the new faces?"
"Oh... Um... I guess so..." She walked over, looking at the ground.
"This is... Um..." Twilight tried to recall their names. "Um... Kent, Butterscotch, Caramel, Star, and.... Kenny?"
"It's Kyle, Stan, Butters, and Cartman..." Stan facehoofed. "You were right on Kenny though."
"Oh... Well it's nice to meet you..." FlutterShy looked up and gasped. "Oh my... You're all so..so...ADORABLE!" The yellow Pegasus flew up, grabbed Kenny, and hugged him.
"Mmmph mrrm mm mmnm" Kenny raised his eyebrows and looked down at the others.
"Whatever Kenny, we know you're cute. Don't rub it in..." Cartman rolled his eyes.
Twilight laughed a bit, then looked down at the boys. "So, what are you doing all alone in the streets? Where are you and your families from?"
Kyle blinked. "What do you mean?"
"I mean your parents. What are they doing? I'd love to meet them!"
Cartman glanced at the others. They were silent. Kyle stood there, unsure how to respond. Then the red earth pony stuttered, "O-our... P-parents?......oh God..." He started to sniffle, than broke into a sob.
Twilight frowned. "What's wrong?" She asked in a worrisome tone.
Stan, Kyle, and Butters glanced at each other, than at Cartman, who sat on the floor weeping. Stan sighed, and in a shaky voice, he replied, "Um...You see, we're brothers. Our parents...d-died last year in a car crash....."
"WHYYYYYYY" Cartman cried. Stan started to sob too. Butters soon after. Kenny wrapped his hooves around Fluttershy's neck and buried his face in her chest. Kyle stood there for a second before bursting into tears too.
"W-why do people have to remind of of what we don't have?!?" Kyle chocked, then hugged Stan in a cry.
The six older ponies looked shocked. Twilight teared up. "Oh... I'm so sorry..."
"Oh you poor things!" FlutterShy cried. She put Kenny down by his "brothers". "Don't worry, you can stay at my house! I'll take good care of you! I'll take you there at nine." She hugged all five of them, then flew over to the other main six. The boys stopped crying.
"Damn that's like the 15th time now that that's worked...." Stan whispered. •.•.•.•
"We just have to go to the EverFree forest, and we'll be at the cottage!" FlutterShy announced to the colts following behind.
"Why did you do that?" Kyle asked Cartman as they walked through the forest.
"We needed a place to stay, you got a place to stay..." He replied.
"Guess I should actually thank you for being smart for once..."
"Thank you Jewnicorn!"
"Shut up..."
Finally, they arrived at what looked like a decorative dirt mound with windows. "We're here!" FlutterShy smiled and opened up the door for them. The boys walked inside and looked around.
"Nice place you have. Seems cozy" Stan commented.
"Thank you! Now, make yourselves comfortable" FlutterShy insisted. The boys took a seat on the red couch. "Are you boys hungry?"
"Uh, yeah!!" Cartman exclaimed happily.
"Well, I have some apples, carrot sticks, a daffodil sandwich..."
"Do you have fries?"
"Yes, I have hay fries."
"What about chocolate cake?"
"Sugar isn't good to eat before bed."
"What about burgers?"
"Burger?" FlutterShy tilted her head in confusion. "You mean a daisy bun?"
"What the hell is a daisy bun?!" Cartman whispered to Kenny, who shrugged. Then he asked, "do you even eat meat?!"
"Why of course not!" FlutterShy giggled. "Cannibalism is bad!"
Cartman stared at her with narrowed eyes, before jumping off the couch. "Forget food! Screw you guys, I'm going to bed..."
FlutterShy opened up a door upstairs. "I don't use this room often. Normally I don't have visitors who stay the night. So, this can be your room!" The room was just like the rest of the house. It had a single window and a dresser. There was a large bed in the middle.
"Wait...we have to sleep in the same bed together?!" Cartman gasped.
"That's not so bad Eric..." Butters argued.
"I'm not sleeping with other guys, okay? That's gay as shit..."
"We don't use that kind of uncalled for language!" FlutterShy said strictly. Cartman rolled his eyes and took the right side of the bed, trying to stay on the bed while half hanging off the edge. Butters and Kenny hopped in after. Then Kyle, and Stan in the far left.
"Thank you Miss FlutterShy. This was really nice of you to take us in." Kyle said.
"Of course dear! Just let me kow if you need anything!" FlutterShy smiled, before closing the door. The boys curled into the blankets and fell asleep. About a half hour passed, and everyone was asleep. Cartman was snoring, practically hanging off the bed. Butters and Kenny were cuddled in the middle. Kyle slept normally, almost his entire body underneath the blankets. Stan was half asleep of the edge of the bed. He was lost in his thoughts.
'What if we never get back?' The same thought echoed through his mind. 'What if we're trapped here?' He sighs and remembers to stay thankful that they actually have a roof over their heads. 'I guess I wouldn't mind staying here for a while, though I may never see my family, friends, or Wendy again...' He siged and closed his eyes. Just as sleep was about to take him, he heard a crash. His eyes shot open and he sat up. Kyle did too. He jerked awake, his hat flying off his head.
"What was that?!" He demanded.
"I have no clue..." Stan replied.
Butters sat up too. "Hey fellas, mind keeping it down?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.
"I think something flew through the window!" Kyle pointed on the ground. Stan looked, and sure enough, there was something. It was a brick.
"Do they know people are trying to sleep?!" Stan growled. He picked up the brick, but then he noticed something. "It's a note..."
"Why did they throw us a note on a brick?" Butters asked quietly.
"What's it say?" Kyle looked over Stan's shoulder curiously.
"'Meet outside in five minutes!' What is with all these anonymous notes?!" Stan asked, slightly aggravated.
"Should we go outside?" Kyle asked.
"I guess so..." Stan sighed, crawling out of bed. "Butters, wake up Kenny and Cartman."
"No, let's just leave Cartman here...." Kyle suggested.
"We ALL need to be there..."
"Please! I don't want to hear him whining about how tired and/or hungry he is..." Kyle begged.
"Kyle..."
"Okay fine!" •.•.•.•
"Ugghhhhh... I'm so tired and kinda hungry.... Why did we have to come out here in the middle of the night...." Cartman was practically being dragged by Kenny. "Guys... I'm seriously..."
"Cartman, shut the fuck up..." Kyle commanded.
"Guys shut up!" Stan yelled. They had climbed out of the window and into the back yard. There was a chicken coop and several other animal houses. There were trees everywhere. The boys stood in the clearing of the backyard. "Hello?" Stan called out into the forest. "You wanted to see us?"
For a while, there was no response. But then, there was a sound from the bushes. Something ran through the bushes. The boys turned to the noise, only to turn back when another shape moved through the forest.
"Oooh boy..." Butters flattened himself to the ground.
"Um... R-remember when I said something about 'hellish' creatures?" Kyle stuttered.
Suddenly, a figure stepped out. Two others flanked on each side of the first figure. They walked forward until the first of the three was in the light. "Howdy!" She exclaimed. "I'm AppleBloom!" She was a yellow earth pony with a red mane and red bow on her head.
The second figure Walked forward. "I'm Sweetie Belle!" A white unicorn with pale purple and pink hair greeted in a high pitched voice.
The last one was an orange Pegasus with a magenta mane. "And I'm Scootaloo!"
The fourth graders glanced at each other awkwardly. Stan walked forward. "Um... Hi? I'm Stan. This is Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Butters."
"Nice to meet y'all!" AppleBloom smiled. She had a country accent to, so she was most likely related to that AppleJack pony.
"You better have a pretty damn good reason for waking us up in the middle of the night!" Cartman scoffed.
"Well," AppleBloom began. "We were at your welcoming party, and we were pretty excited to meet ya. But then, we noticed that, like us, you don't have cutie marks yet!"
"Cutie mark?" Stan questioned.
The three fillies blinked in confusion. "The symbol on your flank that reveals your talent and personality?" AppleBloom explained questionably.
"How did you not know that?" Scootaloo belittled.
"We totally knew it... Just... Clarifying...." Stan stuttered.
"Anyways, we found out you were staying with FlutterShy. So we came here to personally invite you to be apart of...."
"THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!!" The three ponies screamed. The boys covered their ears in pain.
"Jesus Christ!" Cartman yelled back.
"Bleeding from the ears here..." Kyle growled.
"We do awesome stuff to get our Cutie Marks!" Sweetie Belle cheered. "We've gone bungee jumping, wilderness exploring, canoeing, foal sitting...." She started listing off activities.
"We're on a mission, a crusade to get our Cutie Marks!" Scootaloo grinned.
"We'd love to have you apart of it!" AppleBloom concluded.
"...football players, cake bakers, I think we even did a political debate..."
"Sweetie Belle! Would ya mind keeping it down?!" AppleBloom yelled.
"Sorry..." Sweetie Belle smiled sheepishly.
"So, what do ya say?" AppleBloom asked. The clearing was silent for the longest time, until Cartman burst into laughter.
"Pssshhh, fuck that! I'm going back to bed!" He snorted and walked to the window.
Kyle looked at the fillies apologetically. "Sorry about him...he's always like that. We are just going through a little bit of stuff right now."
"Awwwww.... Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssseee?" The crusaders pouted.
Stan smacked his forehead. "If we join will you let us sleep?!"
"Of course!" The three said in unison.
The boys glanced at one another, before sighing. "Alright fine..." Stan decided.
"Yay!" They all cheered. "Meet us at the clubhouse tomorrow afternoon for your initiations!" Scootaloo said. They ran off cheering, "CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS AWAY!"
The fourth graders stared after them, their jaws dropped. "What did we just get ourselves into..." Kyle facehoofed.
"I can't believe you agreed to play gay games with those dumb girls!" Cartman yelled from under a tree. They were outside FlutterShy's cottage in the front yard. Kenny was flying in circles. Butters was chasing a butterfly, and Kyle and Stan were sitting in the grass.
"I still don't get any of this...." Stan sighed.
"I'm sure we'll figure out what to do..." Kyle reassured. "Whatever is going on has to have a reason. We'll find away out of here. But until then, we shouldn't worry."
"It's almost noon!" FlutterShy announced. "I can take you to Sweet Apple Acres to play with the crusaders now if you'd like."
"Okay, thank you." Stan called over his shoulder. He stood up along with Kyle and Cartman. They all started on their way. The place known as, "Sweet Apple Acres" wasn't really far. In fact, it was just down the road. The place appeared to be a typical barn. How ironic that there was a farm in a world full of ponies. FlutterShy walked through the fence and to the door. She knocked on it. The door opened up, and the orange farm pony the boys met before greeted them.
"Well howdy! My sis AppleBloom was talkin' bout you colts all morning! She and her friends are in the tree house down the path. You can't miss it!" AppleJack smiled.
"Okay, thank you." Stan nodded in acknowledgement, before turning down the directed path. His friends followed behind.
"Be careful!" FlutterShy called out as the disappeared into the trees. As they walked down the curved, dirt path, Stan realized why it was "Sweet Apple Acres." There were apples further than the eye could see. No wonder those farm ponies were named APPLEjack and APPLEbloom.
Cartman suddenly started singing his, "In The Ghetto" song.
"Shut up Cartman! We're NOT in the ghetto!" Kyle yelled.
"In the ghettoooooo, on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'...."
"SHUT THE HELL UP."
Meanwhile, Kenny was flying above the group. He looked in the distance and saw a pink tree house, decorated with hearts and girly stuff. "Mmmph mmph mmrmm!" Kenny cried out.
"Oh well, let's just get this over with." Stan sighed andwalked up the steps that led to the club house. He held out a hoof and knocked on the door, with a sign that read, "Cutiemark Crusaders Club House." On the insides, there were hoof steps running around frantically.
"One second!" The voice of AppleBloom could be heard.
"We're almost done!" Scootaloo called out. After a lot of loud noises, Sweetie Belle shouted,
"Come in!"
Stan opened the door. Inside, the room was kinda dark, since the windows were closed. There was a large table, like one seen in a court room. Sweetie Belle was sitting in the chair, with Scootaloo and AppleBloom on either sides. All three were wearing red and gold capes. Scootaloo was playing a large bass drum at a constant beat.
"This is SO creepy..." Kyle whispered.
Scootaloo kept playing, until she got carried away with the drum, and started hitting the top heavily. Sweetie Belle and AppleBloom covered their ears.
"Scootaloo! Would ya stop that?!" AppleBloom yelled over the deep rings of the drum.
Scootaloo hit the drum one last time, before stopping.
"Welcome to the CMC club house!" Sweetie Belle greeted. "We offer you a place in our crusade to seek our talents. Doing so, you shall become our friend, compadre, amigo, guy pals.... Oh forget it..." The young unicorn threw a scroll off to the side. "So, do you accept?"
"Yeah whatever..." Cartman grumbled.
"Then you're in!" Apple Bloom cheered. "We'd give you capes, but we don't have any spare ones..."
"Nonono, it's cool! We don't need it..." Kyle insisted.
"Okay, one less thing we have to worry about!" Scootaloo shrugged. She ran over to her friends. "So, how are we going to get our Cutie Marks today?"
"I thought we could be deep sea divers!" AppleBloom suggested.
"Good idea!" Sweetie Belle smiled.
"How about sleeping?" Cartman suggested sarcastically.
"Nah, already tried it... Well, let's go to the lake!" AppleBloom ran out the door. -.-.-.-
As they CMC walked to the lake, the boys chatted quietly amongst themselves.
"What if we actually did get butt tattoos that tell us who we are?" Kyle wondered.
"Dunno, but yours would be Jew related..." Cartman snickered.
"Yours would be the talent of eating everything because you're a fatass..."
"SHUT UP YOU FU... Actually, that sounds kinda kewl... Thanks Kahl!" Kyle rolled his eyes.
"We're here!" Sweetie Belle announced. The fillies stood by the lake, waiting for their newest members to arrive. When all were present, AppleBloom asked,
"Did you bring the scuba gear, Scootaloo?"
"You know it!" The orange Pegasus dropped a bag of snorkels and such on the ground. She turned to the colts enthusiastically. "Are you ready?"
"Um..." Kyle kicked a pebble awkwardly. "No not really..."
"Oh come on! You took a vow, remember?" AppleBloom tilted her head.
"Ugh... Fine..." Stan growled.
"I ain't goin..." Cartman crossed his hooves.
"But why not?" Scootaloo asked.
"Because I don't want too..."
"Fine, your loss." Scootaloo snorted.
"Come on dude, just go scuba diving with us." Stan said, taking off his hat.
"We have to, so you do too." Kyle added.
"No"
"Mmmph mmph mm" Kenny said.
"Fine, we will." Stan said, walking into the water with his gear on. Kyle followed, then Kenny.
Butters glanced back for a second and said, "Sure you don't wanna go Eric?"
The red earth pony stuck out his tongue. Butters shrugged, and followed the others. Bubbles floated to the surface, and they were gone. All of them. Cartman was alone.
He laid on the sandy shore and sighed. He hummed to himself. After a minute, he started to sing, now that Kyle wasn't there to bitch at him for doing so. "In the ghettoooo... On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'...." He stopped for a minute. Then he started to sing the song again, but changing the lyrics.
"Being a horse suuuuuucks... Having to walk on all fours, no one to get you cheesy poofs, as a dumb horse..."
"Being a horse suuuuuucks.... Eating meat is cannibalism, all they eat are vegan meals, as a dumb horse...."
The birds flew over and started to sing too. He sat up. "OH FUCK OFF!!!" He shouted. Then he laid back down, closing his eyes. "I really want some Cheesy poofs..." -.-.-.-
Cartman opened up his eyes. He must have fell asleep, since it was a lot later than before. He sat up and shook the sand off his body. Suddenly, he heard splashes coming from the water. Heads emerged from the surface. "Bout time..."
"Oh you missed a whole lot Eric!" Butters exclaimed. "There were fish, and corals, and more fish!"
"You know what'd be even cooler? If we got our Cutie Marks!" Sweetie Belle shared Butters enthusiasm. The fillies proceeded to check their flanks. They frowned.
"What about you guys?" Scootaloo asked.
Kyle and Stan glanced at each other, before looking at themselves too. "No."
"No." Kenny said.
"Nope..." Butters sighed.
"Yes!!!" Everyone turned in shock to see Cartman speaking. "OMG it's so kewl guys! It has fishes, and corals, and more fishes!" He posed, imitating Butters's voice.
"Well aren't you lucky..." Butters kicked a stone.
"Shut up Cartman!" Kyle yelled. He walked over to a rock and frowned. "I thought I put my hat here."
"Hey, me too!" Stan chimed in.
"Your hats are weird!" The boys turned to see the CMC putting on their hats.
"Hey look! I'm Kyle!" Scootaloo tried to imitate his voice.
"I'm Stan!" Sweetie Belle squeaked.
"I'm Kenny!" AppleBloom said and pulled on his parka.
"Oh nonononono! I wouldn't put that on if I were you!" Kenny warned through his snorkel. When she put it on, there was a loud, thundering, crack. A tree fell, only inches away from AppleBloom.
"Woah, that was close!" AppleBloom giggled.
"Might wanna put that back on..." Kenny mumbled and ripped the orange hoodie from AppleBloom. He put it on, zipped it up, and took of his goggles. "Mmmrmph mmmrm mmnmph!"
"Okay, sheesh, I won't put it back on."
Kyle and Stan angrily took back their hats and put them on. The fillies and colts started to return to the farm.
"So, what should we do tomorrow?" Scootaloo asked.
"Wait, tomorrow?!" Kyle gasped.
"Yeah! The CMC never rest!" Sweetie Belle cheered.
"Maybe we could bake cakes?" AppleBloom suggested.
"Or be weather ponies?" Scootaloo said.
"Ooh ooh ooh!" Sweetie Belle jumped up and down. "I know! Let's go ziplining!"
"NO!" The boys screeched. The filly trio jumped in surprise.
"Well, we gotta go" Sweetie Belle said. Her and Scootaloo turned to leave.
"This was fun!" Scootaloo reported.
"See ya guys soon!" AppleBloom nudged Stan as she left. The boys all stood staring at each other.
"So, what now?" Stan asked.
"Do we wait for the yellow one?" Cartman suggested.
"Sorry! I forgot my book!" Sweetie Belle ran back through. She picked it up and put it on her back. "It's one of Twilight's. It's about magic spells and unworldly phenomenons."
The boys stiffened and Sweetie Belle started to leave. "WAITWAITWAIT!" They shouted."Woah! Wh-what?!" Sweetie Belle jumped.
"Did you say 'unworldly?'" Kyle demanded.
"Yeah, why?" Sweetie Belle's horn started glowing as she surrounded the book with a mint green aura, and levitated the book. The boys all shrieked. "WHAT?!?!" Sweetie squealed in fear.
"How the hell are you doing that!?!?" Stan gasped.
"All unicorns can do it with practice!"
Everyone looked at Kyle. "Everyone but Jewnicorn" Cartman snickered.
"Yeah, I can't do it!" Kyle argued.
"I couldn't either, but Twilight taught me. You see, she's super great at magic. It's her talent. I'm sure she can teach you too. She knows all about stars, science, heck she's been to another planet!"
The boys all gasped and ran off away from the farm.
"Um.. I'll see you I guess?" Sweetie Belle blinked.
As the boys ran up the path, Kyle implored, "We HAVE to see this Twilight pony!"
"Just so you can learn magic tricks?!" Cartman rasped.
"No! Because if what Sweetie Belle said was true, we may have a way out of here!"
"I agree!" Stan said. "When we get to town, we split up and search! I can't remember which one was Twilight, so go crazy!" They were desperate to get answers, and they were going to get them.
"I'll take that road!" Kyle announced, running to the right.
"I'll take this one!" Stan yelled.
"Mmph mmrm mmph mm!" Kenny said, taking off into the air. Butters and Cartman split into two different areas.
"If you find Twilight, meet back here!" Stan called before disappearing into the town. •.•.•.•
"Okay class, does everyone have their groups?"
"Yes Mr. Garrison" the class replied.
"Mr. Garrison, Stan's group is missing" a brown haired fourth grader pointed out.
"Huh...Clyde you are certainly right." The teacher nodded in acknowledgement. "Who was in his group?"
"Kyle, Cartman, Butters, and Kenny..." A boy with black hair and a blue hat replied in monotone.
"HEY GUYS!!!" A blonde boy yelled, his face contorted with random twitches.
"What's wrong Tweek?" Clyde asked.
"DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT EXPLOSION?! GAH!"
"How much coffee did you drink?"
"NO GUYS IM SERIOUS!! CRAIG, YOU BELIEVE ME?!"
"Eh, sure" The raven-haired fourth grader shrugged.
"IT WAS COLORFUL AND IN THE FOREST OR SOMETHING REALLY FAR AWAY! GAH!!! TOO MUCH PRESSURE!!" Tweek pulled at his hair.
"I'm telling you, he's crazy..." Clyde whispered.
"He's just on a caffeine high. He'll be fine in a few minutes." Craig replied. •.•.•.•
Stan was sitting in the four way where the boys were told to meet back up. He turned to see Kyle, running back. "Any luck?"
"Nah... Do you think the others found anything?" The unicorn wondered, coming to a stop.
"Only one way to find out. I doubt they'll be anymore successful." Stan replied and followed Kyle through the town. First, they started with the path Cartman went down, even though they doubted he'd find their target. As they passed the cake shaped building they first found Cartman in, the door swung open. Walking out, were a pink pony and a short red pony, with a weird back-bag that resembled a saddle, full of treats. Kyle stared for a second and looked like he was going to blow a fuse.
"OMG you're the best pony person ever!" The shorter of the two smiled.
"Aw thanks! You're the best too!" The other giggled.
Kyle and Stan ran over. Kyle nearly tackled the smaller one to the ground, but stopped himself, only inches from the colt. "You son of a bitch! You didn't even look?!"
He blinked. "Well I did... for like... two minutes. But I couldn't find her"
"Dammit Cartman!" Stan growled. "We've been looking for fifteen minutes and you go and get more food?"
"And I suppose you just happened to find a coin laying around again?" Kyle asked sarcastically.
"Nope! My good friend Pinkie Pie gave me some for free! She lives there you know." Cartman smiled.
"YEP!" Pinkie exclaimed
"Okay... well we need to find Kenny and Butters." Stan rolled his eyes and turned around. Kyle and Cartman followed behind. "At least tell me you saw where Butters went." Stan glanced back. Not long after Cartman shrugged, a yellow Pegasus flew down.
"Mmph mmrm mmnrm." He said as he landed.
"No luck either Kenny?" Stan sighed.
"Mm, mmm mmm mmrn mmrmrrs" Kenny replied, pointing to the road ahead.
"You found Butters? Maybe he found something." The colts galloped down the dirt road, until they came to a beautifully decorated building, which resembled a circus tent or merry-go-round.
"Mmrm mmmph!" Kenny fluttered his wings when they approached.
"He's in there?" Kyle asked.
"Maybe that pony we're looking for is there too..." Cartman pointed out, his mouth stuffed with cookies. The fourth graders approached the building and walked in. There, on a display stage, was Butters. All four of them blinked in (not so much) surprise when they saw him wearing a dress with green and blue gems, ruffles, and a bow in his hair.
"Um... Hiya fellas..." Butters mumbled, crouching slightly in embarrassment.
"Butters... What the hell are you doing...?" Cartman asked with narrowed eyes.
"Funny story actually" Butters laughed nervously. "You see, I found this pretty place and decided to look for Twilight in here. So I asked the pony here if she could help me, and she said she'd be happy to, if I help her with something else first for a second. So I agreed because I-I thought it be a pretty kind thing to do... But.... Well you can see how that turned out."
"Dude you look ridiculous!" Cartman laughed.
Just then, Rarity walked into the room, her magic levitating ribbons. She looked over and grinned. "Oh hello young colts!"
"Hi...." Stan mumbled.
"Hey, do you know where we can find Twilight?" Kyle asked.
"Why yes. She's in the large castle- library thing, where we threw you the surprise party."
Kyle and Stan stood there in silence. Kyle stomped a hoof onto the ground. "WE PASSED THAT PLACE THREE FREAKING TIMES!!!"
Stan rested a hoof on the bridge of his nose, mumbling to himself.
"You know... did any of us even remember what Twilight looked like?" Stan asked. Everyone had thought for a second, before face-hoofing in sync. "Well, let's not waste anymore time."
"Oh but I could use your help!" Rarity commented. "I need to make filly sized dresses, and Sweetie Belle and her friends stopped helping when they didn't get modeling Cutie Marks. You five would be perfect!" Then she looked at Butters. "Emeralds? What was I thinking... I'll go get some diamonds to go with the sapphires!" She walked away happily.
"Quick! Let's get out of this place!" Stan exclaimed. Kenny flew over and grabbed Butters out of the dress. They ran out the door as quick as their hooves could carry them, and into town, towards the purple and blue tree castle. They walked up to the door, and Kyle knocked on it. After a few moments, a purple dragon with green spikes opened up. He looked up and frowned.
"Who are you guys?" He asked.
"Woah, sweet! A talking dragon!" Cartman grinned.
The dragon blinked in confusion. Then he said in realization, "OOOHHH! You're the new ponies! I'm Spike, Princess Twilight's number one assistant!"
"Is that why you have a pink apron?" Stan tilted his head, trying hard not to show his amusement.
Spike looked down at himself and blushed. "I um... I was baking..."
"That's okay buddy" Cartman smiled. "Kyle wears an apron when he helps his mom cook too."
Kyle's face turned red and he whipped his head to look at him. "HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW THAT!?!"
"Because I go to your house sometimes and laugh at you with Kenny."
"Do you STALK me?!"
"Nah"
"Well, did you need something?" Spike asked, leaning against the door.
"Oh um... We need to talk to Twilight." Stan explained.
"Okie dokie, right this way!" Spike held open the door and pointed an arm into the hall. The colts walked in one by one. When they were all inside, Spike closed the door. He led them down a hall with many books and library stuff. Then he opened the door into a room with six chairs lined in a perfect circle, including a small one. A lavender alicorn sat in the biggest chair. She used her magic aura to write in a book with a sun thing on it. She looked up when she heard hoof steps.
"Hello everypony!" Twilight smiled and walked over. "What brings you by?"
"We need to talk to you" Stan said.
"Of course! What is it you need?"
"Before Stan could speak, Kyle asked, "How do you use magic?"
Twilight looked up at her horn. "Oh, it's quite simple really. I just practiced. Why? Can you not do it?"
Kyle shook his head.
Twilight smiled. "Well I'd love to teach you! I taught Sweetie Belle, so I'm sure you'll learn too."
"All right!" Kyle grinned.
Stan's eyes widened. "But Kyle, what about..."
"Later" He whispered.
"Then what do WE do?" Cartman asked.
"I have games in the drawers" Twilight pointed her hoof to the drawer she referred to. "And this is also a library... So you could, I don't know, read a book?"
Stan punched Cartman before he made some smart ass comment.
"Thank you" ~.~.~.~
"Now, just focus all of your energy, and convert that energy into a magical aura from your horn." Twilight explained to Kyle, who was sitting on a stool.
"How does that work?" Kyle asked, tilting his head.
"You just concentrate, and it will happen" Twilight assured. Kyle shrugged and did as told. He closed his eyes, and moments later, his horn glowed dark green. He looked up and smiled.
"Guys! Look I did it!" He exclaimed.
"Eh yeah, that's great Jewnicorn...were so proud of you, you special little snowflake..." Cartman said, not bothering to look up from his deck of cards.
Kyle frowned. "Shut up asshole!"
"Hey, there's no need for that" Twilight said.
"Can I pick up things too?"
"With practice. And soon, you can even do spells and stuff!"
"Neat! Did you guys-"
"Nobody cares Kahl..." Cartman said, putting down a card.
Kyle narrowed his eyes, then looked at a book of basic magic technics.
Stan threw down a card onto the middle of the table. "Uno" he said smugly.
Cartman threw down his cards in rage. "Dammit Stan!!!!"
Butters glanced out the window. "Hey fellas, it's getting late."
"We should go" Stan said, packing up the cards and putting them away.
"Well, thanks for visiting! If you ever need anything, my door is always open!" Twilight smiled.
"Wait!" Stan realized before leaving the room. "There was something else..." The boys all looked at each other. "You see, we aren't from around here."
"Well of course not. You're new."
"Yeah but it's much more than that."
"We were actually on a field trip, when Stan found a rainbow orb in a forest." Kyle explained.
"I was curious and touched it," Stan added.
"And then it broke and took us here..." Butters continued.
"Plus we're not really ponies" Cartman included.
"Mmr mmrmmnmns" Kenny said.
"Yeah, compared to you we're aliens." Stan agreed.
"So we need help to get back home to our planet" Kyle said.
"Because this place sucks..." Cartman groaned.
Twilight was quiet. Than she said, "Oh! I see! This is a game with the crusaders, isn't it?"
"What! No! It's real!" Stan argued.
"Why of course it is! I'll help you get home!" Twilight winked. The boys' jaws dropped.
"She's not taking us seriously...." Kyle said in defeat. Sudden the door opened.
"There you guys are!" A Pegasus flew in. The recognized Fluttershy's voice. "Don't run off like that again! I was looking all over for you!"
"Looks like you found your way back home!" Twilight said.
"Y-yeah but..." Stan tried to speak.
"No buts" FlutterShy said. "We need to get back, it's getting dark." She nudged the colts out the door, still glancing back. Their one shot at getting back, gone.
Twilight lifted the spell books, and placed them back on the shelf, in their corresponding locations. Spike walked into the room. He had heard the conversation. "Hah! Other world? As if."
Twilight seemed uneasy though. "They seemed kind of... Panicked though... Other worlds do exist...." She trailed off.
"Oh come on Twi. These colts are super imaginative, not to mention the fact that their friends with the CMC. I'm sure they were playing a game."
Twilight smiled. "Yeah, I'm sure your right!"
"Ain't I always?" Spike grinned.
"Don't push it" Twilight laughed. "It's still sad what happened to their parents..." She walked toward the book shelfs, and picked up a few books. Spike nodded in agreement, having been told about the disaster already, and went in the other direction.
"Now to finish my jewel cake!" He said to himself. "I wish I knew some other dragons to help, so I don't eat the gems. But then again, they'd eat them too." He started mixing the batter. "Well, that Kyle pony said he bakes with his mom. I'm sure he could..." Spike suddenly tensed and dropped the spoon. "Wait a minute..."
