Prologue

It was an average day on Earth. People going to work, kids playing at playgrounds, and teenagers studying for exams. Everything was going normally and everything was beautiful. At least until it happened.

I woke up with a jolt as I thrown from my dream back to the real world. I tried to recall what happened in my dream, but all I got was a knife entering my body. Killing me. Eventually, I gave up trying to remember the dream and started my day. I looked to my right to see my beautiful wife still sleeping. I didn't want to wake her, so I unwrapped myself from her embrace and went to the bathroom. As I cleaned myself, I began to think about my dream again. I had a feeling that it's important... but how? My thoughts were interrupted my hands covering my eyes.

"Guess who!" a familiar, playful voice said. "Uh. Jackie Chan?" I said chuckling. "Nope. It's me silly Billy!" the girl said, uncovering my eyes. I gave a little chuckle, "Dang it. I was wrong again..." I said, turning around to face my slightly hyper-active wife. "Good morning, beautiful." I said kissing her. "Good morning, handsome." she said returning the kiss.

We have been married for around a year and our marriage is great! He never argue and we share so many common interests.

"So what do you want to do today?" I said. "Well it's Saturday and it's 9:55 and the T.V is on... What do you think?" My wife said with a grin. "My Little Pony?" I said starting to get a little bit excited. "Eeeyup." Said my wife imitating Big Macintosh.

Yep. We both watch My Little Pony and that's what brought us together. We signed up for a fan-club for it and that's when we met. She didn't judge me for watching it and loved me for being myself. It's a small world after all.

As we walked to our room, after we cleaned up of course, I began to wonder what episode Hasbro has worked on to show us. I became excited and found myself smiling at the thought. When I got to the room, I found my wife bouncing on the bed waiting for me. "Hurry up slow poke!" She said in a hyper and playful voice.

"I'll be there in a seco-" I was interrupted by a loud noise. It sounded like a barrage of trumpets being blown by a bunch of people. A bunch of god-like people. "WHAT'S GOI-" My wife tried to yell at me but was interrupted by something else. She vanished. I began to panic. I knew exactly what was going on. The Rapture.

Time slowed down as I began to panic. I ran around in circles. 'No I can't get left behind. I can't...' I thought. "No. You didn't get left behind. You're standing right here in Heaven with me, my son." Said a voice in my head. It was like someone was talking to me, it was like I was thinking this.

When I calmed down, I began to notice that the room was transforming. It was no longer the room that my wife and I shared. It transformed into a throne-like area. "Is this Heaven?" I said out loud this time. 'Yes. You and your wife are safe, now.'

Sorry about any grammar mistakes, or spelling errors. This was my first real fanfiction...

"Okay. Can I see her now?" I said hoping that I will be able to. "You will soon. Oh! And as for your reward. You have a choice in what to do here. You can either stay here in Heaven OR you can go to the world of your dreams. But after you pass away there, you will come back here with me." After God said that, I froze. I know it's not a hard decision because either way, I have a spot in Heaven. So I made the choice.

"Father, I would like to go to the land of Equestria. You know the place that My Little Pony took place in." God understood what I meant completely and said, "If that is what you desire, and then so be it. Be safe my son. And fight the good fight." I nodded and blacked out.

When I woke up, I found myself on the grass somewhere. 'Where am I?' I thought. I then looked around and realized exactly where I am. "I'M IN EQUESTRIA!" I yelled in excitement. It looked exactly like in the show. It was animated and there was no clear detail in the drawing.

When I got up, I saw a few ponies staring at me. I didn't want to draw attention to myself and walked away. Once I got away from the ponies, I looked at the area around me. I was at the outskirts of the Everfree Forest right next to Fluttershy's house.

I thought about what I wanted to do first and thought that I should pay Flutershy a visit. But before I did that, I wanted to make sure that I was a pony. I don't want to freak Fluttershy out, considering that she was already scared of everything.

When I looked at myself, I found myself in awe. I am a pegasus with a dark blue coat and a light blue mane. And my wings were cyan. My cutie mark was a Christian cross with a heart behind it. 'This is awesome.' I thought to myself. I then recollected myself and made my way towards Fluttershy's house. 'Hopefully this isn't going to be a disaster.' I thought nervously.

When I reached the house, the animals appeared to be bowing towards me. I was brutally astonished at the sight, but I just ignored it and kept going. When I reached the door, I gently tapped on it and eventually, a pink maned, yellow coated pony peaked through the crack of the open door.

"H- Hello? Who's there?" She said in her adorable quiet voice. "Hi. My name is..." I paused. I knew that my name wasn't common on Equestria and that it may be strange. 'Dang it. I wanted to meet someone and didn't even come up with a name.' I thought at myself angrily. I then looked around for a clue and looked back at Fluttershy, who was curious of why I stopped talking.

"Sorry. As I was saying, my name is Lightning Run." I whispered, knowing that she's like a delicate flower that you have to be careful with. Hearing this made her grin a little and lift her head. "Hi. I'm Fluttershy." She said louder. 'Nice one, Tim.' I thought to myself.

"So I just got here from Manehatten and I was wondering where I was. I'm trying to get to Ponyville." I said softly. Fluttershy smiled and said, "Ponyville is just that way. Here. I'll show you." She then grabbed my hand and walked me towards Ponyville.

Before we got there she asked me a question that caught me off guard. "What was wrong with the animals? They were all bowing towards you. Even Angel and he never does that." She asked in a concerned voice. I smiled and said, "Nothing. I guess I just have a way with the animals, I guess."

After a minute or so of walking, we reached Ponyville. Then almost immediately, we were greeted by a completely pink pony with beautiful blue eyes.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" She said in a hyper voice.

"Hey, Pinkie Pie! Nice to meet you." I said imitating her hyper-activeness. Immediately after I did that, I became instant friends with Pinkie Pie. "OH! I take it that you're a partier! Aren't you?" I said, knowing exactly what she likes. "Yep! Speaking of parties! Follow me." She said. Then paused and whispered something to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy then giggled and whispered something back. Then Pinkie Pie nodded and led me somewhere... Isolated... "Hey, what's going o-" I was interrupted by a pink blur rushing towards me, pinning me down. "Hey, I want you to meet somepony who wanted to meet you. Her name is Red Velvet. Ring a bell?" Pinkie said in an almost serious tone. "Sure, but please get off of me." I said awkwardly and smiled. Pinkie smiled back and nodded. "Okay. Follow me." She said.

After a minute of walking, we reached our destination. It looks like Sugarcube Corner, but instead of looking like a cake, it looked like a piece of candy. Pinkie Pie then ran up to the door at nearly light speed and knocked on the door, clearly excited. "Red! Come out here!" Pinkie yelled in an exciting tone. "I'm coming!" A voice yelled back. And almost immediately, a pony with a violet mane and a pinkish-reddish coat and a candy bar as a cutie mark came out, giving Pinkie a friendly hug. "Is he here? Did you find him?" She said just as excited as Pinkie. "Yep! He's right over there!" Pinkie said, pointing at me.

"Hey. My name is Lightning Run. Nice to meet-" I was cut off by Red hugging me. I was honestly shocked and confused, but I returned the hug. "Hey Tim." Red said.

"What? How do you know me?" I asked highly surprised. "Wow Tim. I'm glad you found me, but come on. Now I'm disappointed." She said in a playful voice. Then something in my head snapped. "HOLY CRAP! Laura? What are you doing here?" I said giving her a hug and a kiss.

"Well after the Rapture, God knew that I wanted to come here, so he sent me here. I'm so happy to see you!" She said in her normal voice. Then she looked at my new body. "Wow. You're handsome in real life AND here." She said with a chuckle, causing me to blush horrendously. "So are you!" I said, retuning a compliment.

"Yep. Well anyways, ready to party?" She said, getting back into character. "Yes!" I said cheerfully. "Wait... What about Pinkie? Does she know about this?" I asked, concerned about our identity. "Yep. I know about everything!" Pinkie said in her usual voice. "Oh, okay. Should we tell the others, Laura?" I said, getting worried again. "Don't worry! Auntie Pinkie and Laura got it all handled." Laura said in a cheerful voice.

"So... About that party..." I said hesitantly. "We're like way out here, somewhere... I don't know where... Where is it going to be? Then almost immediately, we were at Sugarcube Corner.

'Wait... How did we get here?' I thought. 'Well now that I'm with Pinkie Pie, I can do whatever the animators gave her. You know, like popping outta nowhere.' Said a voice, which I assume is Laura. 'Wait, we can talk to each other mentally now?' I thought. 'Yep, well don't be shy! Enjoy the party.' She said.

Then immediately afterwards, I was crouded by ponies from all over. Including the Mane six. There was an orange coated, blonde maned pony named Applejack, a white coated purple haired pony named Rarity, there was a purple coated purplish maned one named Twilight Sparkle and a cyan coated rainbow maned one named Rainbow Dash.

First, I was greeted by Fluttershy, who I already met of course, then I was greeted by Rainbow Dash. "Hey. I'm Rainbow Dash. The fastest flier in Equestria. I bet you that you're not faster than me!" She said, trying to issue a challenge. "I'm sure I'm not, but we'll find out soon enough." I said accepting the challenge.

Rainbow Dash couldn't help but to grin cutely and this made me grin too. Then I was met by Rarity. "Oh... You sure are dashingly handsome." She said in a kind voice. "Thanks." I said completely ignoring her flirt. Then I was met by Applejack who violently shook my hand, or hoof. "Howdy! I'm Applejack. Nice ta meet ya." She said in a heavily accented voice. "Hey. I'm Lightning Run. Nice to meet you too." I said with a grin, causing Applejack to blush.

Then last, but not least was Twilight Sparkle. "Hi. I'm Twilight Sparkle. Loyal student of Princess Celestia." She said happily. "Nice to meet you." She said. "Nice to meet you too." I replied. After we finished our greeting, Red Velvet, or Laura better yet, dragged me into the party playfully and made me dance with her. I agreed and we danced until the party shut down.

After the party shut down, we met the others outside. "You know, you can stay with me, Lightning." Said Rainbow, remembering the challenge I accepted. "No! He's staying with ME." Said Rarity, who might have a crush on me. Eventually all of the ponies except for Pinkie and me were arguing. "STOP!" Yelled Fluttershy. "If... you want to... Well either way, we didn't even ask Lightning if he has a place to stay and if he doesn't, let him chose." She said, a bit out of character. Then all of the ponies were looking at me eager for an answer.

"Well... I kinda want to stay with Red for a while okay?" I said confidentially. Then all of the ponies, except Red, sighed, said their goodbyes and walked home. "Jeez. What was their problem..." I said. "Well they all like you, I guess." Red said, a bit ticked off.

While we were walking home, Laura a bit jealous and angry. I took note of this and said, "Come on let's get inside." Then Laura sighed and walked in. As soon as we got in I said, "Laura, I don't know if we're still married or something, but you know that you're the only girl that I love deeply. There is no need to get mad." Then Laura nodded and gave me a kiss. 'Hahaha. You taste like candy.' I thought. 'Hehehe I know.' She thought.

"Wait... So now that we're back together, should we start over or are we still together? And we do need to find a way to make the others know we're together..." I said. "Oh! I have a plan. But we'll have to keep our love life a secret for at least a week or month. So pretty much, we begin to fall for each other and then we can make our love official. Okay?" She suggested.

Then I nodded in agreement. "And call me Red, from now on." She said with a chuckle. "Okay... Red." I said giggling about how in character my wife is.

After a while of laughing, joking, making up, and kissing, we eventually became tired and headed to bed. "You can sleep in my bed, you know." She said lustfully. "Okay then." I said, making my way to her room.

When I got to her bed, I was tackled down and we began to kiss romantically and proceeded with our "nightly activities".

When I woke up I looked to my right to see Red sleeping soundly next to me. 'Oh God. I hope I didn't do something I'm going to regret.' I thought. 'You didn't do anything wrong, my son. She's still your wife.' God said through my head. I agreed and got up to start the day.

Okay... First, I have to visit everypony and race Rainbow Dash. There's always in adventure in that. When I finished my mental agenda, I got up and kissed my wife on the lips. 'Maybe I could surprise her with a breakfast in bed.' I thought. 'Mmmm that sounds good, babe.' My wife thought. I completely forgot that my wife and I completely shared our thoughts here. 'Well it's not a surprise anymore.' I thought as I smiled and walked to the kitchen.

When I got there, I looked for something good that we both can eat, but all I found were sweets, bread, and hay. 'Well, we are ponies, so his will do...' I thought, as I grabbed the ingredients. 'Okay... I'll make... This... Hope this is okay.' I thought as I put together a hay and crème sandwich.

When I finished the sandwich, I walked upstairs with a tray and gave Red the sandwich. I was nervous because I didn't know if it was good to eat or not. But I still felt confident and brought it to her. At first, she hesitated. She didn't want to eat it, but she trusted me as much as she trusted Pinkie. So she took a bite. At first, I thought she was disappointed, but I thought twice, because she hopped up and gave me a tight hug. "OH MY GOSH! THIS TASTES SO AWESOME THANKS... LIGHTNING..." She said teasingly. "Yeah. Remember, we're supposed to stay in character." She said, happily. I smiled and returned the hug.

"Hey, I gotta go. I'm going to visit the others and race Rainbow. Want to come?" I asked innocently. "Sure, but not right now. I'm going to be busy." Pinkie said. "But I'll be there later, okay?" "Okay." I said.

When I left, I thought I should warm up. I did some stretches and stretched my wings. 'Okay... Now I just have to get used to these...' I thought as I began to flap them. Then almost immediately, I was being lifted up into the air. At first, I was scared, but got used to it. Then I became more and more confident and began to fly around faster and faster. Eventually, I was going as fast as the leader of the Wonderbolts. But I was stopped by none other than Rainbow Dash, who had a smirk on her face. "Okay. Since you accepted my challenge, let's race. From here to Cloudsdale." She said. "Okay. Well let's do this." I said getting ready to go.

When we were signaled to go, I took my time with flying, at first, while Rainbow was way ahead of me. 'She just doesn't get it yet.' I thought as I watched her become exhausted and almost hit a building. I knew that slow and steady wins the race and this is a perfect example. As I flew past Rainbow, I could tell that was exhausted from going too fast all at once, so I stopped to help her. "Hey, are you okay? It's just a game. Don't over-exert yourself." I said in a caring tone. "Okay. Sorry. I guess I got a little cocky. So I take it that you won since I stopped, huh?" She said, a little disappointed of herself. "Well... I won the race, but you still deserve the title. You did do your best in this race, so I gotta give you that." "Thanks." Rainbow said as she got up with a little bit of my help.

"So how do you know all of this? I never heard of that saying 'Slow and steady wins the race.' Sorry to sound cocky, but I always win when I got fast." She said as we flew side-by-side. "Well, I felt like going slow since I knew that there were too many buildings around for me to go fast. I didn't want to get hurt. So you know." I said in an explanatory voice. "So where are you going anyway?" I asked curious of where we've been heading for the last few minutes. "Well, it's a secret." She said while blushing. 'Yeah... This isn't going to end well...' I thought as I grew uncomfortable with Rainbow's response.

As we flew further to our destination, I couldn't help but notice that Rainbow was blushing like crazy. "Are you okay?" I asked, concerned with her condition. "Yeah. I'm fine. Oh! We're here!" She said, going from casual to excited. Then she pointed to a beautiful waterfall. "Wow... It's cool." I said astonished at the sight. But I should've kept my eyes on Rainbow because before I knew it, I was pinned down by her. "Love me." She said seductively. Dazed by what she meant, she leaned down to kiss me, but missed. I moved my head constantly dodging her kisses.

"Rainbow. I can't... Do... This..." I said trying to dodge her kisses. "STOP!" I managed to say, causing her to hop off of me. "Rainbow, I do find you attractive! Really, I do, but I have my eyes set on another pony. Please understand this." I said in a calmer voice. After she heard this, I saw tears form in her eyes as she began to fly away. But before she could fly away, I grabbed her and pulled her in for a hug. "Hey... It's okay... I'm sorry, but I just love somepony else. Please understand." I said in a sad voice. "No... It's not that. It's me. I'm so sorry Lightning. I didn't know." She said in between sobs. "It's okay. Let it out..." I said in a hushed tone. And then Rainbow started to sob louder as I caressed her mane. "I'm sorry..." She said still sobbing. "It's okay." I said. I forgave her. Really I did. This kind of thing happened to me before back on Earth. Hopefully she'll find true love like I did.

When I got home, I told Red about everything that happened today. And she listened. "Well that was a good thing you did, Lightning. Hopefully, Rainbow will fall for somepony else." She said in a hopeful tone. I nodded in agreement and we both agreed to go visit the other ponies and not bring up what happened.

After our conversation, we began to walk down the street towards Twilight's house. "So, what's been going on ever since you went here?" I said, trying to break the silence. "Not much. I became the candy maker for Ponyville, became Pinkie's best friend and assistant for baking and parties, in my free time, and then I met you." Red said. "That's a lot of stuff." I said surprised at how much progress she's made with making friends. After a minute of walking, a bright light popped out of nowhere in front of us. Then a white coated, pony came out of it, along with a blue maned pony. It's Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

After we realized that it is the Princesses, we bowed respectfully. "There's no need for that. Stand up, Laura and Tim." Said Princess Celestia. "Come. Follow us. We need to talk." We agreed to go and instantly, we were engulfed by a white light. When we came to, we were in the castle at Canterlot. Before we could even react, we were being lifted up in the air by Luna. "Oh! It's so great to see you two here." She said in an extremely happy voice. "Good to see you too?" Laura and I said in unison. After we returned the hug, we were put down. "God told us that you were coming here, so we'd thought we'd pay you a visit" Princess Celestia said casually. "Yeah! Tia's right. And ever since you got here, a new element was created: Love. We wanted to go on ahead and tell you because there is a great danger of dis-harmony arriving." Luna explained. "And it can't be defeated by just the other six elements." "So, we created another element? AWESOME!" Laura said in an excited voice, nuzzling me.

"So about this danger, when will we have to face it." I said in a concerned voice. "We don't know. It could be right now or a year from now. We just don't know." Celestia said in a sad tone. "But just in case, take this." She said, handing us a two part ring with half of a heart on each side. Laura grabbed it with her magic and we put it on. At first, we didn't feel anything, but then we felt something weird. Butterflies began to form in my stomach and I looked at Laura, who seemed to have the same symptoms, then almost she became prettier, and more sexy. Seeing this made me want her even more than I desired, even though I loved her as much as I could. "I love you so much." I said before attaching my lips to hers. "I love you too." She said pulling back then coming back in. "Okay. That's enough, you love birds." Celestia said with a chuckle, pulling our ring off.

"Wow..." That was all Laura could say. She was shocked at how much love, or lust, she had over me. I felt the same way. "So... yeah... We need to use that to defeat this evil thing... Okay..." I said awkwardly. "Yes. Well anyways, here you go. Train yourself to control it and use it wisely. Using it on the battlefield can ruin your chances of destroying that evil being." Celestia said. "If you need anything, just seek mine or Luna's thoughts, and we'll be there." "Okay, thanks. OH! And one more thing, can you take me to Twilight's house? We wanted to visit everypony, so I can get to know them." I said happily. Celestia nodded and transported me to Twilight's house.

AN: Laura's POV!

"Hey Twilight!" I said with a large amount of happiness. "Hey, Red and Lightning. Any news from the Princesses?" Twilight said eagerly, causing us to frown heavily. "What?" Twilight said with a bit of concern. "Well... We were told about an upcoming evil that can surpass the Elements of Harmony. We don't know when or where it will attack, but it will destroy everything in its path. But, on a good note, we created another element called love and it will help you guys greatly!" Lightning explained calmly. When Twilight heard about the Element of Love, however, she blushed greatly.

"So... You and Lightning are together?" Twilight asked me as if her heart was broken into two. I nodded, causing Twilight to immediately try to perk up. "Well... That's great!" She said with a hint of jealousy, causing Lightning to chuckle. I gave a bit of a chuckle too. "So anyways, how do we control this element we have? When we tried it out, we lost control of ourselves and love, or lust, took control. Can you help us?" Lightning said trying to get back on the subject. Twilight chuckle when she heard lust and blushed greatly yet again. "Well, controlling it is easy. Here, I'll use my magic to suppress your element to the point where it will no longer control you anymore. As for the powers, I got it all under control." She said with a smile as her horn began to glow.

Then almost immediately, our element flashed a pink color and then the lights died down. When she finished the job, she collapsed due to exhaustion, causing me and Lightning to run to her to help her. "I'm... okay... just tired..." Twilight said in between breaths, "I... finished the... thing... so you're okay... now... just... help me... to bed..." She said struggling to get up. We nodded and lifted her up. When we got her to her room, we gently put her down and she was already asleep. We gave her a gentle friendly hug and left her room. As soon as we left her room, we were met by a small dragon with green and purple scales. It was Spike. "Hey you guys. Sorry I couldn't meet you when you came. I was in Canterlot with family. Weird huh?" Spike said with a chuckle, "Well anyways. The princesses said to give you this and this." He said handing us a scroll and a few books. I then put the books on my back, but Spike gave us a saddle bag from nowhere and gave it to us. "Here. This'll make it easier." Spike said, trying to sustain the laugh he had from Lightning making of fool of himself. I noticed this and laughed out loud.

"Hey! What're you laughing at!" Lighting said, a bit annoyed but couldn't help but to laugh too. "You! Spike had a saddle bag the whole time, silly!" I said laughing harder. Lighting couldn't help but to laugh too. "Oh... I guess he did." He said.

After we finished laughing, we decided to head home and check these out. So we said goodbye to Spike and then left. When we got home, I noticed the time and decided to head off to bed. "Hey, I want to check out that scroll then go to bed. I'm tired and it's like 11:00. Okay?" I said with a yawn grabbing the scroll and reading it.

Dear Lightning and Red.

I have received news about the monster that is coming to attack Ponyville. It will attack soon, but in the mean time, read these. These books contain information about the monster and how to defeat it. Good luck.

Celestia and Luna

"Okay. Well I guess I'll start reading it tomorrow." I said with another yawn. "Okay. But I'll start reading it tonight and I'll be up there later, okay?" Lightning said, giving me a loving kiss on the lips. I smiled and began to head upstairs. As soon as I got in the bed, I fell asleep.

"Babe... I'm pregnant..." I said with a smile, nervous of how Lightning will react. I immediately felt myself being lifted up into the air. We're going to have a foal? I'm so happy!" He said with a smile and began to laugh proudly. "Babe I love you-"

My dreams were interrupted by a loud thud. I wanted to check it out, but there was an uneasy feeling in my stomach, so I rushed to the bathroom and vomited. 'Oh no...' I thought, thinking of the dream I had. 'Could it be?' I tried to hide my thoughts from Lightning as best as I can and succeeded. He didn't hear a thing. I chuckled then made my way to the source of the sound.

What I was Lightning reading at a reading desk. I looked at the nearest clock. It was 3:00 a.m. I took note of this and went to Lightning and I wrapped my hooves around him. "Whatcha doing?" This scared Lightning really bad and he jumped out of his chair. "Oh! Sorry. I didn't see you." He said in a sleepy tone. "It's okay. Sorry for scaring you." I said, "Hey. Whatcha doing?" I asked in a curious voice. "I need to finish this book. I'll be up there in a minute." He said in a dismissive voice. "No. You're coming to bed with me right now." I said in a commanding, yet loving voice. "It's 3:00 and I don't want you to stay up all night stressing out over this okay?" "I know. But just let me finish." He said in a sleepy voice. "No..." I said. Then I came up with an idea. "Fine... You made me do this." I said. Then lifted him up with my magic to make him face me. Then I planted a kiss right on his lips and began to haul him off to bed.

He gave me a defeated groan as I laid him down. "Babe. Come on. I had like one more chapter." He said trying to redeem himself. "No. Go to sleep." I said in a loving voice. He sighed and said, "You're not the boss of m-" I planted another kiss on his lips. "I'm still going back downstair-" I gave him another kiss. "I'll only be a minute-" I gave him another one. This time, giving him a look of sadness. "Fine, I'll stay." He said, giving up. I smiled and nodded in victory. Then I wrapped my hooves around Lightning and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight." I said. "Goodnight..." He said with a chuckle.
