Mo! Wake da fuck up!" That voice, it sounded familiar to Mo. His eyes began to flutter open at the sound of the voice. It was his brother, it had to be. With a shake of his head Mo opened his eyes fully and looked up at his brother Rex. "Da fucks goin' on here man?" Rex looked down at Mo stretching out his head to help his brother to his feet. He had no idea what was going on, it just so happened that he woke up first. "I don't know Mo. Looks like sum sort of library or some shit." "Library? Nigga we don't go to no library!" Ignoring the last comment Rex began to take in his surroundings more fully. There were shelves upon shelves of books. Hard wood floor, a few doors around them that were curiously small compared to regular doors. Of course with Rex's height most doors would seem pretty small. While he had a lanky and thin frame Rex stood at about 6'7 without shoes. His height alone had caused much unwanted attention while growing up. Everyone always things if they took down the biggest guy around they'd become king. But Rex had never been beaten. "Look at them doors. It's like a midget library." "If it's a midget library why 'dem shelves so high?" Mo countered Rex's argument by pointing out the height in the room. It was true, the place was filled to the brim with books stacking well over Rex's head and miles over Mo's head. Compared to his brother Mo was pretty short just breaking the six foot barrier. But when it come to muscle mass and weight Mo was an amazing specimen. Back home (which could be dimensions away) Mo was always at the gym. It was more than just a hobby it was going to be Mo's ticket out of the hood. "You remembah anything befo' we got here?" "Nah man, the last thing I remembah is-" Mo's response was quickly cut off by Rex's hand covering Mo's mouth. With a hand gesture Rex told Mo to be quiet before pointing at the door. Sounds were coming from behind the door and the nob slowly began to turn. With hushed swearing Mo and Rex dashed off in opposite directions for a hiding spot. Rex was quickly able to find a crevace in between two of the book shelves out of sight. Mo however was less subtle than his brother and pushed down a shelf of book to the floor before laying down on the shelf next to the door. He'd be out of immediate sight, but it wouldn't be long before somthing like that went unnoticed. "Come on Spike, hurry! I want to get those new books organized before di- Woah!" As the purple unicorn entered her library home she tripped over one of her own books that had been tossed onto the floor. "That's odd. Why is this book on the floor? And this one? And this one?" With each new book she found Twilight raised them into the air with her levatation magic. Spike waddled in from behind with a stack of fresh new books. "Aww man! I just cleaned that floor!" Disgruntled, Spike went to go place the new books on a nearby table. "WHATS GOOD NIGGA!" Until of course Mo jumped out from his hiding place on the adjacent bookshelf and blindly dog pilled on the source of all the noise. When he hit Spike he seemed shocked at the size of his target. Maybe this was a midget library. Until he got off the baby dragon raising a cocked fist into the air. He stopped in shock just starring at the purple and green scaled monster. The two of them looked at eachother with curiousity until Spike broke the silence. "Uhh..Hi?" "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Hearing Spike talk made Mo freak out, jumping back from Spike by nearly a foot. Mo rushed back against the wall in fear. "This purple thing can muthah fuckin' talk! It talks!!!" All the comotion immeditatly caught the attention of Twilight Sparkle. The worried unicorn rushed forward placing herself between the intruder and Spike protecting her companion. "Who are you!? What do you want!? You'll never get my books!!!" Mo was once again frozen in fear. Now there was a talking purple horse thing. This had to be the absolute worst acid trip ever. "Woah, chill out horsey, it's cool." Stepping out from his hiding place Rex entered the fray. Both his hands were raised slightly into the air showing Twilight he didn't mean any harm. With his calm voice and gestures Twilight began to show some ease, but with a creature of his height coming forward she kept up her guard. "Who are you two?" Twilight cocked her head back in curiosity awaiting their answer. "My name's Rex Abbadon, this is my brother, Mo Kong." Despite their unpresidented apperance they did seem to look alike. He could belive these two were brothers, but there were still more questions. "What are you two doing in my house?" "We got no idea Miss. Horsey. Me and Mo just woke up here in yo library. All we wanna do is go back home on Thrasher street and we'll be cool." Despite the strange man's accent Twilight was able to pick up on what Rex was laying down. But she had never heard of this 'Thrasher street' and had never seen creatures like them before. She wasn't sure where these people were from and if they even could get back. "Do you know how to get back home? I mean, you're obvious not around from here and I've never seen anything like you two in Equestria before." "Yo, da fucks an Equestria?" Twilight just gives a blank stare at Mo's question. Now she knows that these two boys are a long, long, long way from home. "The only thing I can think to do is ask Princess Celestia about this. If there's anyone that can tell you who or where you're from, it's her. But I can't just sneak you all the way to Canterlot. Hmmm...WAIT! I got it. You two stay right there and don't touch anything!" With a newfound excitement Twilight ran off into another room. Meanwhile Mo and Rex waited in the main enterance to the library under the careful watch of Spike. The two of them just looked at eachother then back to the litte purple lizard thing watching them. While Rex waited patiently Mo began touching one of the books on the shelf in bordem. "Hey! Twilight told you not to touch anything!" Mo jumped back again and stopped touching the book. The fact that thing kept talking to him spooked him out more than the talky horse. "Chill out little nigga. Dayum. This is fucking gay." "Shut the fuck up Mo. If that purple horse can get just the fuck out of here I don't give a shit how gay it is." "...So, by that logic you'd suck the little dude's dick to get home?" "What?" "You're saying you would suck that little purple lizard's dick to go home. I mean you said you don't care how gay, whatevah floats yo boat." "Mo, shut the fuck up!" Rex gave Mo a good smack on the head for that one. Spike meanwhile just stares at the two men in confusion. He has NO idea what they're talking about. All he can do now is wait for Twilight to come to his rescue. "Ha! Found it!" With that Twilight would rush back into the room with a smile on her face. A book came floating along with her resting on the floor. Rex took a peek inside the book trying to read it to no avail. Mo starting touching things again. "Okay, so we can't have you two just walking around all willy nilly, but I might be able to disguise you two as ponies so we-" "NO! No way! I ain't getting in no horse costume with this nigga!" Mo's interuption was quickly put down by Rex's fist. "Whatcho mean by disguse?" Clearing her throat Twilight would continue. "As I was saying, using this spell I can turn the two of you into ponies. I'm not sure how long it'll last, but it should last long enough until we can see the Princess." Rex raises his eyebrow at one word in particular. "Spell? Like magic?" "Well, duh. Now stand still." Twilight took a stiff from and lowered here head towards the two brothers. Her horn began to glow with pink magic growing more and more powerful. Slowly the magical pink aura began to envelop the two brothers. Slowly they began to levitate in the air. Rex remained calm while Mo's began to panic. In a flash of light purple light the brother were gone. In their place stood two ponies. The first one, Rex Abbadon, was a tall grey unicorn with dark blue dreadlocks on his head on tail. A pair of gold aviator glasess laid upon his face with his soul patch remaining on his chin. The second, Mo Kong, was a stocky dark blue pegasus. A large frame, but still shorter than his brother. A shaggy head of dark brown hair covered his head and tail with an occasional streak of dark green. The two human brothers were no more, now these two pony brothers were left. "Am...am I a horse?" "Pony." "Thats even gayer!" Once again Mo began to freak out. Taking a moment to get used to his hooves Mo starts galavanting around. Until of course he feels his wings spring into action as he takes flight. His panic becomes excitment as he begins to fly around the library in circles. The wind he's creating begins throwing books of the shelves much to Spike and Twilight's dismay. Using her magic Twilight forces Mo kong back to the ground. "Come on you two! We don't have time to waste. We have to go see the Princess!" With a slight grimace on his face Mo complies to Twilight's demand and follws her and Rex out the door. As they tail behind her Rex and Mo begin taking in the sights of Ponyville. They're getting some odd looks from the townsfolk as they head off to the train station but so far they seem to be in the clear. "Hey, Rex. What'd she call dis place again?" "Equestria." "Aw yeah! Now we're N.I.E.!" "N.I.E.? "Niggaz in Equestria!" Rex pauses for a moment placing his hoof on his face. "Mo, shut the fuck up." To Be Continued... > Chaptah 2: Canterlot Blues > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chaptah 2: Canterlot Blues By: Dude Bro Brony _____________________________________________________ "Alright you two, just get on the train and try not to draw any attention to yourselves, okay?" After a few minutes of waiting at the station the Canterlot Express had finally arrived. For now everything had gone smoothly. No one had come out and acknoledge the two now-ponies that were new to this world. And much to Twilight's delight they didn't run into Pinkie Pie. The last thing this mismatched trio needed right now was a welcome wagon party. As the train opened it's doors Rex the tall dark grey unicron and Mo the dark blue stocky pegasus walked onto the train. Rex walked around the train in curiostiy. It was very apparent this place lacked electricity, yet they were able to run somewhat modern conviences like a train. He pondered the idea of the Purple Unicorn's glowing aura was an alternate power source for 'Ponykind'. Mo's mind was packed with much more trivial knowledge. Mainly, where could he find food. "Ey! Purple pony! You gots anythin' to eat on dis here train thing?" Twilight was once again taken back by Mo's accent and use of grammar. Despite having been in their companionship for a few hours now she was having trouble understanding what they were saying sometimes. But at least they seemed to speak the same language, that was a plus. "Follow me, I'll show you to the dinning car." Twilight forced a smile on her face and began leading her two new friends further down the train to the dinning cart. Just like their short trek through Ponyville the brothers recived curious stares, but nothing else. But there was one little foal at the end of the passenger caught that struck a nerve in Mo. The little foal's stare wasn't just a curious one, it seemed to be filled with disgust. As Mo walked by he stopped for a moment and stared back at her giving the evil eye. "Da fuck you lookin' at?" Mo's deep and strange voice instilled a great amount of fear in the small foal as she quickly averted her eyes and began to whimper some. "That's what I thought. Punk ass bitch." "Come on Mo!" Noticing the little confrontation Rex grabbed a hold of his younger brother and started to drag him along into the dinning cart. The dinning cart was fiarly simple. A small aray of tables with a walk up bar for quick meals and snacks. Twilight was already ordering her own food as Rex and Mo strolled in behind her. "Okay, what do you two want to eat?" Mo pushed Twilight out of the way and hopped up onto the counter. "Hand in the air nigga! This is a hold up! Gimmie all the food you got! Cash too!" The clerk behind the counter just stared at Mo with a raised eyebrow. He had no idea what a nigga or a hold-up was. "Today's soup is a Tomato Bisque, and we have a dessert special for a by one ge-" "Shut the fuck up nigga! Open da register and hand over the cash or I'll start paintin' the walls with yo ass!" As Mo became more and more agressive Twilight used her magic to yank down on Mo's large bushy tail bringing him down to the ground with a loud thump. "Sorry about that, these two ponies are..uhh, new to the area. They're...uhh...my distant cousins, so I'd thought I'd give'm a tour of Canterlot and uhh..." "I don't need your life story Twilight. Just keep those two vagrants off my dinning cart." Rex raised an eyebrow at the clerk. Mo had been an upright asshole, but he had just been sitting there. "Vagrants? Fuckin' racist ass horse. Come on Mo." Rex would lead Mo out of the Dinning Cart in disgust. Twilight would once again apologise to the clerk before making her exit as well. Between the three of them it was a long and silent ride to Canterlot. _________________________________________________________________ "We're here!" Twilight's words were filled with excitement and pride. While Ponyville was indeed her home. Canterlot would always hold a special place in her heart. Despite the incident in the Dinning Cart she belived the capitol of Equestria would impress Mo and Rex. And it did. The two brohters were gawking at the window taking in the sights of the huge castle and all the structures inbetween. "Aw man, this is like the Pony Times Square!" Normally calm and compossed Rex was unable to contain himself after seeing Canterlot. With the sound of the breaks the two of them rushed toward the door ready to go and take in the sights. Once the doors opened the two colts rushed out side leaing their guide behind. "Hey! Wait up!" Twilight gallopped off the train hoping to catch up to Rex and Mo, but was intercepted by a surprising face. "Twily!" Shinging Armor leaped over toward Twilight after seeing his beloved sister come off the train. He hadn't seen her since after the wedding and the ordeal with the Changling Queen. "Shinging Armor! How are you and Cadence do- Wait, I'd love to catch up Big Bro but I-" A large white leg would wrap around Twilight's neck dragging her away from the train. "Let's go for lunch. I havn't eaten all day and we really need to catch up Lil' Sis." There was no getting out of this one. Twilight was dragged away by her brother leaving Rex and Mo to their own devices. ________________________________________________________________ "Daaaayyyyuuum! Look at all this fancy shit! These ponies know how to live!" Mo began flying around the streets of Canterlot looking into all the shops. Stylin' clothes, designer swag, there was just too much to take in. Rex, unable to fly on his own, stuck to the street level taking in the people more than the shops and their products. The first thing he noticed was the abundance of unicorns in the city. It seemed pegasi and regular horses were few and far between in the Canterlot elite. Despite the obvious socioeconomic structure to that Rex felt a good deal of pride in his new found horn. With that in mind he found a swagger in his step as he cruised around the city still getting the odd eye from time to time. Except for one pony in particular. Her eyes weren't in a curious stare or the stink eye, her stare was somehow different. Rex couldn't tell what was different, but found himself unable to look away from her. She was a unicorn like most ponies in Canterlot with pristine white fur and a graceful and flowwing purple mane. Rex tipped his gold shadded glasses down for a better look until Mo came flying in and crashing into him. "My bad man! I havn't gotten my kanding down yet, but you need to see this shit!" The hyperactive pegasus startted to drag Rex along with him and out of sight from the white unicorn. Before Rex could recompose himself Mo had pushed him across the street and into a shop. "There! Look at that!" Mo pointed out a watch in a display case. It was far from the fanciest thing in the store but it struck a cord in the brother that couldn't be ignored. "Holy shit...it looks just like Dad's watch." Rex looked at the watch in disbelif at what Mo had found. The resemblance to their Dad's watch, a family heriloom, was uncanny. A flurry of memories, both good and bad, began to filled Rex's head as Mo made his way toward the owner of the store. "Hey, how much for that watch there?" The store owner would turn around revealing himself to be the stallion known as Fancy Pants. A well known Pony in Canterlot, an elite among the elite. "If you have to ask you probably cannot afford it, sir." Mo's eye narrowed at Fancy Pants's response. "Nigga I got the cash, I'm just a baller on a budget." With a rather elegant sigh Fancy Pants revealed the price to Mo. "It will cost you eight thousand Bits." "Da fuck is a Bit?" Fancy Pants's hoof fell into his head. He wondered how these two ponies were even allowed into Equestria. "Dear, could you come in here to take care of these two?" He had spent less than a minute with Mo but was already suffering from a strong headache. As he walked away his companion would come into the shop greeting Mo and Rex with a smile. "Bonjour gentlemen, my name is Fleur. Can I help you today?" Mo's eyes went wide at the enterance of the gorgerous white pony. His jaw even seemed to drop a bit as well. While Rex could admit she was rather beautiful he gave Mo a strong nunge in his shoulder. "Da fuck Mo? Beastiality is wrong." "Wait what?" "Youz fantizing about a fucking horse right now!" "...No...I'm just...Wait, it ain't beastiality if I'm a horse too!" "But you still got the mind a real person. You're still human on the inside, and now you want to fuck a horse!" "What...no...no...I...no..." Fleur just watched the two brothers argue in their odd mannerisms. She kept up her gracious smile but was getting pretty worried about these two. "Fancy, could you come back in here please?" Her words had an underlaying tone of panic as she called Fancy Pants back to the store floor. Mo had now turned around in disgust completely unsure of his sexuality now. "Sorry Mr. Fancy, my friend was just checking out your...ummm...gold digger. Don't worry I set him straight." By this point Fancy was just flabberghasted by what was going on in his store. "I think I'll be asking you two to leave now." Rex lowered his head at that sentiment. His horn was now pointing at Fancy Pants in a threatening manner. He wasn't going through the whole Dinning Cart situation again. He wasn't going to let any racist horse kick him out of a place again. "No, I think we'll stay. Right Mo? Mo?" Mo was huddled over near the display case with the watch. It seemed as if he was murmuring something about all these niggas being gay. "I belive it would be in both your best interest to leave my shop at once." Fancy's tone was becoming more and more agressive and Rex simply wasn't going to have it. Fueled by rage Rex lunged forward at Fancy Pants tackling him to the ground. The two ponies began to wrestle on the ground. Normally Rex would have no problem taking down a pompous prick like Fancy Pants, but he wasn't used to his four legged body and thus began struggling against Fancy Pants. Fleur ran out of the store in a panic and returned shortly with thre members of the royal guard. Together they subdued Rex ending the brawl. Seeing his brother bound in magical bonds Mo began wrecking everything he could in the store before he too was but into magical bongs and escorted out of the store. "Get the fuck off me! I got my rights nigga! I got my rights!" Rex's words became slurred by anger while Mo went surprisingly quietly. Not too far off from the commotion was Twilight and Shinning Armor eating their lunch together while reminicing. With a sigh Shinning Armor began trotting toward his knights with Twilight following behind. As soon as she saw the two beging taken away he jaw dropped and she knew the worst had happened. "This can't be happening." In his struggle Rex got a good look at Twilight Sparkle and began to shout out to her. "Hey! Purple Horse! Get these niggas off me!" Twilight tried plowing her way through the gathering crowd to get closer to Rex, Mo, and the Royal Guard. "Just do as they say and don't struggle! I'll talk with the Princess and get you out of this! I promise!" As the two brothers are taken away Shining Armor looks down at her sister in surprise. "You know those two?" Twilight gives out a small sigh and starts heading for the castle. "It's a long story, now come on, I have to talk to the Princess before it's too late." With no further questions Shinging Armor follows her sister hoping that at one point something here will make sense. _________________________________________________________ Rex and Mo sat in adjacent cells in what could only be refered to as Pony Prison. Rex remained silent mad at himself for loosing his temper, but even angrier at that asshole Fancy Pants. Mo poked his hoof out of the bars in view of Rex. "Hey. Look what I got." Rex turned his head angrily but smiled after seeing the watch that resembled their father's watch in Mo's hoof. "You sly mother fucker!" "Hey, they way the faggot horse treated us, I thought we deserved some compensation." Rex just laughed at Mo's theft, his mood finally starting to brighten up. "You're still gay for that horse though." "You still wanna suck that lizard's cock." The both of them began laughing again leaning back to back with a layer of cold stone between them. "Mo, shut the fuck up." To Be Continued... > Chaptah 3: The Great White Hope > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chaptah 3: The Great White Hope By: Dude Bro Brony _________________________________________________________________ Rex and Mo continued to laugh in their respective cells. Perhaps they were laughing at how ridiculous things had gotten, or at the fact that no matter what world they were in they ended up behind bars. Either way the two brothers just kept on laughing at the situation they were now stuck in. Waking up in a midget library, meeting Purple Talky Horse, and beating down some rich asshole pony. Good times. "Get up you two!" One of the armored guards steps forward as he barks the orders to Rex and Mo. A second armored guard comes around the corner and begins to unlock their cells. "I don't know how, but it looks like someone from up top is pulling strings for you colts." The head guard doesn't seem happy about letting these two crooks out of their cells, but he doesn't have much of a choice. Rex and Mo just smile at each other assuming Purple Talky Horse scrounged up enough coin to bail them out. It wouldn't be the first time they've been bailed out and it certainly wouldn't be the last. Two more guards would enter and begin escorting the two out of the holding cells and into what looked like the interior of the castle they saw from the train ride to Canterlot. Large white pillars, royal red carpet, the fanciest of the fancy. While Rex looked on impressed at the visuals and architecture Mo began gawking at all the royal artifacts and other shiney objects. The guards led them up to an extremely large door. THe guards used their magic to open the grand door revealing a long red carpet leading up to a large throne at the end of the room. Twilight Sparkle and her brother Shining Armor stood at the side of the throne. On the throne itself stood the regal Princess Celestia. "Whose dat?" "Gotta be that Princess we heard 'bout." As Mo and Rex looked at the Princess in awe the guards began to lead them deeper into the throne room escorting them both to the Princess herself. Mo, like usual, was the first to start making comments of the ruler of Equestria. "Course the leader of all the ponyfolks gotta be some big white chick. Where all the black ponies at?" "Mo shut the fuck up. I've been seein green and blue ponies here too. I don't think they have black and white here." "...Still pretty fucked up." Rex would give Mo a good his in his side as they approched the Princess. As Celestia looked down at the two colts her eyes narrowed in a mixture of curiosity and pity. Wherever these ponies came from they knew nothing of this world of magic and friendship. They way they acted and talked she summized they came from a much darker place than Equestria. But that wasn't her main concern right now, Twilight still had quite a bit of explaining to do. "Twilight Sparkle, I've done as you requested by releasing your...'friends'. Now tell me exactly who they are and what they are doing here?" The purple unicorn was so nervous she began to tremble. With a large deep breath she began to explain everything. "I went out with Spike to buy some new book for the Library and when I got back these two were in my house. They were tall dark bipedial creatures and I didn't know what to do so I used a spell to temporaritly make them ponies so I could take them to Canterlot so I could tell you and figure out what to do and then we got seperated and they caused a ruckus and-" Twilight's rambling was quickly cut off by Celestia gently placing her hoof over her students mouth. She obtained the information she needed on these two that she needed. Where ever these two were from it was somewhere far, far away. It would take much time and research to figure out exactly where they had come from and hoiw to send them back. Much more time than she had inbetween her royal duties. With a slight pause Celestia averted her eyes and looked down at the two colts before her. "State your names please." Mo and Rex looked at eachother nervously with Mo motioning his head for Rex to go first. Despite their attitude around other ponies they could tell that Princess Celestia was pretty serious buisness. "My name is Rex Abbadon." "I'm Mo Kong." Celestia would rise from her throne and step forward. While Mo was above average in height and Rex well above Mo they still were dwarfed by Celestia's height and precense. "Rex Abbadon, Mo Kong, until we can find a way to send you back to your home I shall allow you both to remain in Equestria. However, given your recent crimes in Canterlot I simply cannot allow you both to roam free. Will are hereby put under probation. You two are not to leave Ponyville where you will be kept under close watch by my student Twilight Sparkle. Once a week you will be required to write a full report to me personally of your status in Ponyville. If you two can behave yourselves there's a chance your sentence may be diminished. Until then you will remain in Ponyville. Understood?" Both Rex and Mo just nodded at the Princess acknoledging what she had said. They both had plenty of arguments against this probation but neither of them were willing to speak out against Celestia. "Good. Now I'll need you both to stand still for a moment. While my student's initial transformation spell was indeed powerful it was only a short term solution. With my magic your form will become permanent until we can send you back home." Like good little ponies Rex and Mo stood absolutely still allowing the Princess to work her magic. Litterally. Her large elegant horn began to glow with a golden magic that wrapped around the two brothers. Just like before, with a flash of light purple, the two brothers stood as two colts. They had so many questions and qualms but they both knew that right now this was the best solution for everypony. "Twilight, I've set up a home for Rex and Mo back in Ponyville. I entrust you with the task of keeping them out of mischeif." With a graceful bow Twilight accepts her newfound duties. "Of course your majesty." With a soft smile Celestia would turn away and exit the throne room with Shining Armor. The three ponies remained in the throne room for a short while before heading out once more. "So, Purple Talky Ho- er, I mean Twilight Sparkle, what do we do now?" Twilight pauses for a moment before responding to Rex's question. "I'm not exactly sure. Celestia sais she arranged a house for you both, but you'd still need jobs, and you both don't have your Cutey Marks." Mo just stopped when he heard that last word. First came a small giggle he tried to hold back, but he quickly errupted in all out laughter. "Pffft! Cutey Mark!? Thats the gayest thing I've ever heard!" Even Rex was trying to hold back his laughter, but he was much more successful than his brother. "What's a, hehehe, 'Cutey Mark'." Twilight stopped for a moment and turned her body around to show her six pointed star cutey mark. A symbol of her magical prowess. "This is a Cutey Mark. It represents each pony's special talent, they're true calling in life. I find it strange that you both don't already have yours. You seemed like adults in your original forms." That last bit was a tad insulting to Mo and Rex. They were full grown adults! They could buy alcohol and everything! "Whatevah, we can get our Ass Tats easy!" "Ass Tats?" Mo's new name for Cutey Mark took Twilight by surprise. "Yeah, Ass Tat. Sounds a lot better than Cutey Mark." Normally Twilight would've just sighed and kept walking, but she was slowly begining to understand these two new strange friends of hers. For the first time she actuall giggled at one of their remarks. "Come on you two let's get back home. We have a lot of setting up to do before Pinkie Pie decides to throw you a welcome party." "Party! I heard dat! Let's go!" With a newfound excitement Mo dashed off toward the train station with a smile on his face. He loved to party, especially with some 80 proof cider. Rex smilled at his brother as he flew off before looking at Twilight taking off his shades reveal deep brown eyes. "Thanks Twilight. I don't know what would've happened if we had ended up somewhere else. You saved our asses." "Don't mention it Rex. It was nothing, really." Twilight would give a nod before picking up the pace to keep up with Mo who had taken quite the lead on them. Rex started to pick up the oace as well before being distracted. With his shades off he caught the starring eyes of the white unicorn from earlier. With their eyes locked Rex opened his kouth to say something before yet again being inturupted by his brother. "Hurry up you lazy ass nigga!" Reluctantly Rex looked away from the white unicorn and begna to ctach up with Twilight and Mo. "Shut the fuck up Mo!" To Be Continued... > Chaptah 4: Poniez 'N the Hood > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chaptah 4: Poniez 'N the Hood By: Dude Bro Brony ________________________________________________________________ "Man I'm hungry. What we gotz to eat?" The dark blue pegasus lay on his bed lazily yelling out to his brother down stairs. It had been three days since they had woken up in this land of magic and friendship. Two gangstahs that once lived the thug life on Thrasher street were now the newest residents of Ponyville. After some funtime adventures in Canterlot Princess Celestia herself gave the two brothers a home and preformed a spell that would keep them ponies until they found a way home. In those three days the brothers, Mo and Rex, hadn't even left the house. They got a daily visit from their probation officer Twilight Sparkle, but besides that they had no other interaction with the ponyfolk. "Nuthin'. We fresh outta everything." Rex, the taller and leaner unicorn yelled back to Mo with a hint of frustration in his voice. Adapting to living in what was basically a tree-house took some getting used to. There was no fridge, stove or anything in their home. All they had been relying on was the snacks Twilight Sparkle would bring them on her daily visits. "Maybe Twilight was right, we should probably get jobs so we can start getting food and shit." Rex climbed up the stiar into Mo's bedroom with that suggestion. "No way! I ain't goin' out there! I don't know if you've noticed but everytime we go outside stupid shit happenes to us! First we end up in this gay ass town, then we get into it with some racist clerk on the train, then we get arrested for beatin' down some uppity-ass nigga in his own store, and now we're on probation for it. There ain't no way I'm gettin' out of this bed!" With a heavy sigh Rex turns around making it seem as if he's leaving. Instead of leaving however Rex uses his back legs to buck Mo out of his bed. "You ain't stayin' in here so you can day dream about that Fleur chick all day." Mo crashes onto the floor getting his blanket all tied around his wings. He tries to get untangled but just can't seem to get loose. Feeling sympathy for his brother Rex's horn begins to glow a soft green enveloping the blanket in a soft green aura lifiting it up off his brother Mo. "Shit! When'd you leanr how to do that?" "Been practicing, what'cho think? Now get going, we're both finding jobs today. End of story." "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming." Reluctantly Mo follws Rex down stairs and out into Ponyville. Rex uses his magic once again to close the door behind him while taking out a stack of papers. He divides the stack in half giving some to Mo. "These are all the Help Wanted ads I could find. Either find something by tonight or don't come home." Without giving Mo the time to react Rex heads out into town for his first attempt. "This is gay." ___________________________________________________________ Rex approached a small little cottage at the edge of Ponyville. The land surrounding the cottage is similar to a farm with homes for various types of animals and critters. Using his leviation magic Rex examines the first wanted ad making sure he has the right place. Help Wanted: Animal Care Giver. Looking for warm hearted pony who enjoys animals and can handle them well. Previous experience isn't necasary, but it helps. Please apply in person, if you don't mind that is. Animal care? That could work. Rex loved dogs and had owned a couple throughout his life back home. Then again, that situation didn't end very well. Oh well! Rex gently knocks on the door. A timid and squeaky voice is heard from behind the door. "Wh-Who is it?" "I'm Rex, I'm here for the job." "Oh, yes of course. Please come in." Fluttershy unlocks her door and cautiously opens it for Rex. With a friendly nod Rex enters Fluttershy's cottage. With a small hoofgesture Fluttershy offers Rex a seat which he readily accepts. "So, umm, have you worked with animals before?" "I have, with dogs mostly." "Oh, how wonderful. So you know how to wash, feed, clean, and care for them?" "I did, yeah." "Did?" Rex pauses for a moment and looked away from Fluttershy. "They...they aren't with me anymore." Fluttershy looked a Rex tilting her head for a moment beofre her eyes went wide in shock. "Ohmygosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I- I-" "It's okay, really, Miss?" "My names Fluttershy. Your's was Rex correct? Wait, you're Twilight's new friend right?" "I guess you could so we're friends." "That's perfect then. Consider the job yours. Since you say you've worked with dogs beofre I'll get you started with Applejack's dog Winnoa." Fluttershy happily trots out the door leading the way for Rex. Job number one had been a success! _________________________________________________________________ "MY CUPCAKES!" The deafeniong shreik of Pinkie Pie could be heard throughout all of Ponyville. After the scream came sounds of a brawl of epic porportions. The door to Sugar Cube Corner would slam open revealing Pinkie Pie grasping Mo Kong by his mane and tail and literally kicking him out of the culinary shop. Unable to grasp flight in midair Mo would soar from the kick and land in a puddle of mud. "And don't ever come back! EVER!" Pinkie Pie would slam the door behind her and try her best to console her poor poor cupcakes. Mo however would rise from the mud and start shaking it off the best he could. "Grrr! I hate this place!" Mo grumbled more obscenities as he looked down at the stack of Help Wanted ads his brother had given him. So far none of them had worked out. He was no good at apple bucking, couldn't sell anything in the market square, he had no idea how to fish, absolutly nothing was working! And that job at Sugar Cube Corner was his last paper too. Mo had become desperate now. There was no more hope of getting a job. No hope of earning money. And that's when Mo got his next brilliant idea. Who said he actually had to 'earn' this money? With a quick dash back to his house Mo began formulating his plan. In less than twenty minutes Mo was back out on the streets of Ponyville. This time he was set up with a card board box and three playing cards he had made himself. They were all identical in size and shape, but only one card was the White Princess with a crude drawing of Princess Celestia. "Whats good fillies and gentlecolts? Step on up! I got three cards here, place down your bits and try to find the Princess. Pick the right card and double your money, but pick wrong and it all goes to the Mo Needs New Shoes Fund." It didn't take long for the ponies to start lining up for this new game. _____________________________________________________________ Meanwhile at Fluttershy's cottage... "No! Nonononononononono!" Fluttershy's normally calm voice became loud and fearful after seeing Rex with the animals. The grey unicorn had Winnoa and one of Fluttershy's pet snakes in a small makeshift arena. The two animals were starting to go at it with Rex cheering them on! Fluttershy watched in horror as the two animals began to fight each other and was even more disgusted by Rex's cheering. "No stop! You mustn't let them fight like that!" Rex looked away from his fun over to Fluttershy. He looked around for a moment trying to look innocent. "Uhh...it's a training...exercise...yeah." It was just like Rex and the dogs he used to have. He loved them and trained them both to be champion ass-kickers, but of course the ASPCA would have none of that and ended up taking his dogs away. Looks like he didn't learn that lesson. Fluttershy jumped inbetween the two animals and looked up at Rex angrily. "Just go please...the job has already been filled." Rex gave Fluttershy the stink eye before galloping away from her and the stupid cottage. It was working out well until she got all over protective. Despite the fact that Rex's first try had been somewhat successful his morale had been hit hard. Now he wasn't sure if a nigga like him could really make it in Ponyville. He looked down at his Wanted Ads and heading toward a round fancy looking building back toward town. He didn't even look at the name or job description and instead just walked into the Boutique. "Hey, I'm here for the job." Rex took a moment to look around not seeing anyone around. However a voice rang out to Rex shortly after his enterance. "Just a moment!" It was a happy voice that had a little melody at the end. Seconds later the beatiful white unicorn came out to the story front. She looked as if she was about to speak before she stood frozen looking at Rex. He seemed...familiar. "Have, have I met you somewhere before?" Rex lowered his golden shades to get a better look at the unicorn with the flowing purple mane. "I...I think we saw eachother a few days ago in Canterlot. My name's Rex." Rarity raised a hoof to her chin pondering before her eyes lit up in excitement. "Oh! Yes! You were that ruffian that was arrested after assaulting Fancy Pants, right?" Rex took a big gulp before responding to that. "Y-yeah...that was me. I don't normally get angry like that, but..." "Oh you don't have to explain yourself to me. I know how Fancy can get on peoples nerves. But if takes quite the stallion to stand up to him like that." There's a little blush on Rex's face now. He can't help it really. "Oh, you were here for the job, right?" "Uhh, yeah." It took Rex a moment to remember the whole job application thing. He didn't even know what the job he was applying for. "Good! Well you look stong enough, and I'm assuming you know at least some basic magic skills, sooo congradulations! You're hired!" Rex smiled at that! Then again he had been immediatly hired last time as well, and it didn't end well. "Can you just run me through the job description again?" "Oh of course dear. You're my new delivery boy! See I've been having trouble with our local mailmare, packages havn't been getting there on time, sometimes not at all. If you ask me she seems a bit too Ditzy to be delivering all the mail, but I suppose everypony must have a job. Just comeback tomorow and I'll have your first delivery ready to be shipped to Canterlot." With an excited nod Rex would readily accept the task. He could deliver dresses and other outfits, no problem! Well maybe a little problem. Something about parole violation. Whatever. "Okay, great! I'll see you tomorow then Mrs...?" "Miss Rarity. I'll see you tomorow Rex!" With the job secured Rarity returned to the back of her store and began to work away. Rex left the store with a swagger in his step looking back before Rarity's Boutique became completely out of view. ________________________________________________________________________ "Ouch! Sorry, lost again. Next!" During Rex's escapdes around Ponyville Mo had remained at his makeshift cardboard table still playing these ponies. So far he had taken in some major coin, at least up to one hundered bits. Not a bad haul for a few hours worth of work. Of course every now and then he'd allow a pony to win just to keep'em playing. Mo didn't know much but he certainly knew how to hustle. "Here's the Princess, you got it? Good. Now keep yo eye on the Princess, keeop yo eye on the Princess. Is she here, is she there, bitch could be any where." Even with hooves Mo was a master and throwing those cards around. His speed was impressive and the way he worked way nearly mesmerizing. The rainbow themed pony he was currently working with was doing her bes to get an airal view of the cards to hopefully increase her chances. "That one! She's there! I know it!" Rainbow Dash slammed her hoof down on the center card. Mo just looked at Dash giving a sly smile. "You sure? "Yeah!" Mo flipped the card revealing a crudley drawn Twilight Sparkle. That was the third time in a row Rainbow Dash had lost out on her bits. As Mo looked out at the crowd he noticed Rex heading over toward him. Not good. "Sorry girl, but I'm done for the day." "What! No! you can't be done!" Mo took his cards and his box and made a run for it back to the house. Rex made his way over to the now disapointed corwd and began laughing. Rainbow Dash looked at Rex sternly, insulted by the laughter. "What are you laughing about!?" "You just got hustled. Nopony can deal cards like Mo. Chances are none of them we're the winning card." Rex snickered once again before heading back to the house. Rainbow Dash's jaw hung open in disbelif that she had just gotten ripped off like that. _______________________________________________________________ Rex and Mo sat at their little table counting out the bits Mo had made during the day. "I gotta admit, you made a nice haul bro." "Damn straight. Those little ponies didn't even know what hitt'em." "Ya know, they'll probably catch on to what you're doing." "Probably. But not for a while. That's another reason I miss home. If you needed money all you need to do was a little dealing. Doubt they got glass here in E.Q." Rex's eyes shifted from side to side at Mo's comment. He leaned in close as if he was about to share a secret about some Pony drug they could start peddling. Mo raised his ear and leaned in to Rex as he began listening. "Mo. Shut the fuck up." To Be Continued...
