A Brony wakes up one day in Equestria, and finds out there is a show based off him and his friends.
After a little adventure with his friends, Tony ends his day watching the newest episode of My Little Pony. But, before the end, he fell asleep, only to wake up in Ponyville! Even more surprising is that they recognize him, one of the stars of a popular Equestrian television show!
//This is my first (published) fic, so if you could leave a comment telling me how I did wrong / right, that'd be nice!
"Snap out of it Brad! You're scaring people!" Tony shouted, trying all he can to help his classmate come to his senses. Instead, all he could do is moan and continue his rampage through the small town with Tony trailing behind him frantically apologizing to the people Brad attacked.
Meanwhile, Fred and Tyler were frantically searching the dusty books of the library to find a way to break the trance put on Brad by the forest gypsy. "Hey Fred! I think I found it!" Tyler yelled to his friend who was a few shelves away. The librarian gave Tyler a death-stare and shushed him while Fred shuffled over to the yellowed book.
"In the forest deep, A witch lives in a forgotten keep.
Her soul dead, and her heart cold. If you're caught, you'll be hers, or so I'm told.
Her evil deeds are your command. Your trespass causes this reprimand.
The only cure for the trance to end, is the saving call of his friend." - Anonymous, 1902
"That's kinda cheesy, but I guess it could work..." Fred mumbled, as Tyler ripped the page out (while the librarian wasn't looking). "Hurry, we need to get this to Tony," Tyler said already halfway to the door.
Brad, still in his trance, kept on his rampage through town with Tony on his tail, behind him and were Fred and Tyler trying desperately to get his attention. "Tony! Wait up!" Tyler called out to his friend. "I would but we need to stop Brad!" Tony yelled back. "But we found the answer!" Tony stopped abruptly, nearly falling over in the process. "What!? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tony sighed, his adrenaline rush ending.

Tony, Fred, and Tyler huddled into a circle in their hideout (built when they first met in elementary school). "What seriously? I've been yelling at him all day!" Tony said angrily. "Well technically we aren't his friends..." Fred mumbled. "Yeah Fred's got a point, he was just following us when we went into the Neverfree Forest, too bad he was too slow to escape that gypsy witch lady." Tyler said. "So how will we get him to stop then?" Fred asked. "Hmm... I dunno." Tyler said. They all sat and thought about how to free Brad. "Okay, I have a plan. First, we're gonna need 3 air horns, an large stick, and a whole lot of rope..." Tony said, then leaned in and unveiled his plot.
__________________________________________
The day's light was beginning to dim as Brad's rampage was beginning to reach the edge of town. The streets were mostly deserted, because of people hiding in their houses. Their hopes laid with the small group of teenage boys setting their plans in action.
Brad shambled down the street, banging on doors, knocking over trashcans and other things not nailed down. He heard a sharp, loud sound just out of his field of vision and turned and started following it. Another sharp and loud sound came, but he still couldn't see where it was coming from, but he followed it nonetheless. The sounds kept popping up and he kept following them, it was almost as if they were leading him somewhere. Suddenly, he heard a loud crack and everything went black.

"-ad"
Brad had a splitting head-ache. "Brad."
He also felt uncomfortable, it was as if he were tied up. "Brad."
He tried stretching. It didn't work, he really was tied up! "Brad!"
Finally, Brad opened his eyes. He look around, all of the Gang were staring at him, as if he was insane. "Is he okay?" he heard Tyler ask. "Oh dang, what happened?"
__________________________________________
Tony sighed. That was another long day spent on saving the town. He is the town hero yet again, it'd be cool if it didn't happen every other freaking day. But that's why he enjoys watching FiM, he actually connects with the characters. Seeing their crazy misadventures makes him feel more fond about his own. Speaking of FiM, there was a new episode today! He hurriedly turned on his TV just as the theme song ended. (success)
This episode was strange, the Cutie Mark Crusaders found a popular TV star knocked out on the ground near Sweet Apple Acres, but that star was a human. The human look confused and freaked out a bit when he woke up, but it seemed like he knew the people there. It was really strange, but he couldn't wait to see the rage erupting from the fans online, it'll be hilarious. He yawned, this could be finished tomorrow. Town heroes need sleep. Tony shut off the TV and laid down onto his bed and fell immediately into a deep sleep.
__________________________________________
The first thing Tony noticed when he woke up was bright colors. It looked nothing like his room, where exactly was he? The next thing he saw was three tiny and similarly brightly colored fillies standing over him. Tony pinched him self. He really was awake. Tony didn't want to believe it but the three fillies confirmed it, he was in Equestria. How the hell he got here, he had no idea, but he was there and as it'd seem this situation was very familiar. The realization hit him, he was in the exact episode he was just watching! With that knowledge in hand, he proceeded to flip out.
"Do you think it's really him?" a high pitched voice that had the cutest southern accent asked.
"Who else could it be?" another high pitched voice joined in, this one sounded a little tomboyish.
"This is.... REALLY COOL!" a third, squeaky, voice pitched in.
Tony didn't know whether to be happy or scared. He was in the place thousands of guys would kill to be at, Equestria! But on the other hand, how did he get here? What about his friends, his family? And if he remembered correctly, he was a TV star? Tony settled for a neutral reaction and stood up, towering high over the tiny fillies.
"WOOAAHH! He's so, so BIG!" Sweetiebelle squeaked. (Tony could practically hear the snickering of the less mature audience.)
"Yes My Little Ponies (lololololol), now could you kind little fillies bring me to Twilight Sparkle?" Tony said in his most suave voice.
"Sure! CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS BODYGUARDS!" the fillies shouted in unison.
__________________________________________
Eventually, Tony made it to Ponyville. But, as he walked through the crowds, the normal hustle and bustle of the town was reduced to quiet whispers and murmurs with the occasional quick glance towards Tony.
"What is THAT!?"
"Stay away maybe it won't hurt you."
"Mommy is that Tony?"
"Don't be silly, that's just a show."
"MAI WAIFU." Disregarding that last remark he heard, it sounds like Ponyville is a pretty hostile place.
"Here we are!" Applebloom shouted up at Tony. Tony was surprised that he was already there, because he was too focused on the crowd (and the entire fan base's crushed dreams of a nice Ponyville).
Tony waved goodbye to the three fillies and walked into the tree house.
CLUNCK
He should have ducked.
__________________________________________
"No need to knock on the door, just come right in!" Tony heard a voice in another room say. "Gee, thanks for the hospitality," Tony said under his breath while he walked over to a small chair (that obviously wasn't made for humans) over by a small table. "Hey, Twilight! (hehe) I need help researching a certain subject..."
"I don't recognize your voice, are you a new pony in town?" he heard from the other room again. "Yeah, you could say I'm very new in town... "
Tony heard a clopping noise (HARHARHAR) coming towards the room while Twilight yelled back, "I don't understand you're being very cryptic... EEEEEP!"
Twilight was freaking out. Tony wasn't only a species she never seen before, but her favorite character on the fillies' cartoon, Tony and Friends: Adventures for Life. Tony was still awkwardly standing by the pony-sized furniture, waiting for Twilight's fangasm end (and his silent one too). After cooling down, Twilight had a barrage of questions to ask him. "You really exist? What's your world like like? Do you and Brad do perverted things together like in my fanfic?" Twilight fired each question at him, but Tony just rubbed his eyes and slowly answered each question (excluding the last one). Twilight then realized a very important question, "How do you know my name?" Tony sighed, this is one question that would be difficult to answer. "Well, um, back in my world there's this show made for little girls, called 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' and it revolves around you and your friends saving Ponyville from many threats and learning about friendship and stuff..." Twilight's face was a mix of shock, intrigue, and embarrassment, but it soon changed to a look of deep thought. "I think I understand what's going on..." Twilight said.
__________________________________________
Brad, Tyler, and Fred didn't know what to do. Tony was missing. Apparently Tony did go home last night, but when his parents checked up on him in the morning, he was gone! He had no reason to run away, and no one would want to kidnap him, so where did he go? The entire town was in an uproar, looking in every nook and cranny for him. Brad felt guilty, it must have been his fault, always getting into trouble and needing Tony to come and save him. Tyler and Fred felt the same way, if only they could have helped Tony faster. They sighed in unison, it was rapidly approaching night, they need to give up the search for today, and continue tomorrow.
In the confusion of the day, Brad forgot about the new episode, especially it being as important as the Season 5 opening! He quickly got on his laptop and started up the episode. The theme song started up, its happy opening pushing his bad day to the back of his mind. As it started, one thing stood out. The human looked familiar....
__________________________________________
"So you mean to say, our worlds are connected by 2 children's cartoons?" Tony asked, Twilight's conclusion seemed far fetched. "Exactly! From what you explained about those 'Bronies', it sound very similar to our Huponies. And a show about you and your friends here and a show about me and my friends over there? You can't call that a coincidence." Twilight said while looking through her books. "Aha! This is the one!" Twilight exclaimed as she magicked a book towards the table Tony is kneeling by.
Tony XX Brad by TS "Brad, I love you..." Tony whispered in his best friend's ear. "I LOVE YOU TOO!" Brad exclaimed, jumping into a kiss with Tony.
"OOPS! Wrong one!" Twilight ripped the book out of Tony's hands and blushed deeply. Tony's respect for Twilight dropped a bit. Liking a show is one thing but writing fanfics? For shame Twilight. For shame. Twilight dropped a different book on the table, still blushing deeply.
Inter-Dimensional Travel for Foals Have you ever wanted to travel to a different world? It's not as hard as it sounds, you just need to follow 3 simple steps! 1. First, each world needs to be connected, this can be done in any way. 2. Next, there must be room for you to come out on the other side, this is an easy step because an amount of mass proportional to yours will be sent back to your world! 3. Lastly, you just need to go to sleep! Have fun in your new dimension!
"Seriously? That's just plain silly." Tony said, his disappointment showing in his voice. "I know, but it seems that it won't work for just anyone... (And I tried so hard too...)" Twilight said seeming somewhat disappointed as well. "Well, wouldn't have I come here before if I'm special?" Tony asked. "It could be your special-ness just awoke." "Then will this happen every time I go to sleep?" "Quite possibly." "What could have been sent over in my place?" "I don't know actually."

A sense of liberation over whelmed him, The Doctor was finally back on Earth! He didn't know how or why, but he was back! He certainly will miss the adventures he had with Ditzy, but he was back in his humanoid form! This was certainly the best day he's had in quite a while. First thing he had to do was get back to London though.
__________________________________________
"So all I have to do is fall asleep and I go back home?" Tony asked. "I'm not sure you'll be back exactly at your home, but pretty much, yeah." Twilight said confidently. "Well, I hate to impose on you Miss Sparkle, but may I please spend the night here?" Tony said, turning on his charm. Twilight blushed returned at full force, "Well it's my first time, so please be gent-" "NO NO NO! I didn't mean it like that Twilight!" Tony yelled while jumping up, a small blush forming on his face, "I meant so I could go home!" Twilight burst into laughter, "Ha! I didn't think you'd fall for that, I knew what you meant. Sure you can, but if you come back here again you need to let me do some research..." "Uh, sure then..." Tony said, embarrassed he fell for the purple pony's joke. "Well follow me, I'll get you some food then bring you to your bed, I can't believe it's this late already!" Twilight said, her face still red.
__________________________________________
The bed was tiny, and it was right across from Twilight's, it looks like the one from that sleepover episode. But, Tony sighed and laid down on it, everything below his knees hung off the edge.
Twilight's face was still red even while eating her salad, he didn't understand, did she really think that joke was really that funny? Also, what is going on back at home, were they all in a fuss about him? Will he ever come back? What really is The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything? With these questions and many more floating around his mind, Tony fell into a familiar deep sleep.
__________________________________________
Tony jolted awake. He was sprawled out on the ground, with three guys standing over him. Not too different than how I woke up yesterday, Tony thought. The three guys pulled up Tony and he could see their faces a bit more clearly, it was Fred, Tyler and Brad! Tony looked around it seems he was pretty deep into the forest, "How did you guys find me?" "Brad just brought us out here saying he knew where you were, and he was right!" Tyler said as he handed Fred $5. "Don't worry Tony, I'll cover for you when we get you back home." Brad said, smiling at Tony. Tony laughed and dusted himself off, "Thanks bro." The trio started back, but when Tyler and Fred weren't listening, Brad leaned over to Tony and whispered, "I know."

Somewhere outside the large tree house, a brown pony laying on the ground yelled "BOLLOCKS!"
Tony let out a sigh, Fred was actually gonna do it. He didn’t know whether or not to be happy for his friend, on one hand, Fred was getting ahead of him romantically, but on the other, he was proud, almost like a father watching his son grow up.
“Hey Fred, you know what’d be cool? If your confession was a serenade. That’d be epic.” Tony said to his mild-mannered friend over the lunch table.
Tony had never seen this coming, he never thought about Fred liking girls, especially Brad’s sister! Currently, Brad was blissfully unaware of Fred’s 'feelings', and so was Tony up until a few minutes ago.
"Yeah, that'd be awesome! You should do it!" Tyler agreed.
Tony had suggested that as a joke, Fred, being who he is, would never do it.
"Hm, that does sound cool, I'll try it." Fred mumbled.
"Wat." was all Tony could say.
__________________________________________
Fred sat down at his computer, he had to find the perfect song to express his feelings. He got on YouTube and looked up "love songs", but none of the titles particularly jumped out at him, that is until he found THAT one. He spent the rest of the night learning the lyrics and practicing the song. This would capture Angel's heart for sure.
By Friday, Fred was ready, he was certain that he had the song down and was ready to sing it for her when night comes. This would take all of his confidence to do.
__________________________________________
The night is cold, Fred regrets not bringing his trademark jacket. He felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, he wants to jump off, but once he does, there will be no turning back. With almost every ounce of his brain telling him not to do it, his heart made him hit the play button on the boombox.
3 minutes and 33 seconds later, the song ended and Fred was tired. Fred quickly broke out of the trance he was in while singing and remembered where he was. The only reaction he got was a light turning on, but it turned back off rather fast. With his heart heavy, Fred went home.
__________________________________________
Tyler woke up, bright and early on Monday morning, he couldn't wait to hear how the serenade worked! There is no way Fred could have been turned down! Tyler hopped onto his regular seat of the bus next to Fred, but he wasn't there! Tyler wondered where his close friend could have gone to, but then realized he must be sick! Tyler looked around the bus, trying to spot Tony and Brad. When he saw them he noticed, not only Tony's still looking deathly tired, but Brad looked angry. Tyler wondered why while the bus started to drive away.
__________________________________________
Brad was furious. Though Tony didn't mind, because it kept his mind off sleeping for a little while.
Ever since traveling to Equestria last Wednesday , Tony has been avoiding sleep as much as possible. He has been doing everything to keep himself up, from drinking coffee to taking medication. Tony can't keep going back to Equestria every other day, his parents are already suspicious enough after the last incident!
Tony was tuning out most of Brad's rantings, but he caught a few keywords like "kept me up all night" (hah!), "horrible voice", and "rick-roll". From that Tony was able to assume that Fred actually followed through with the serenade,and it still seems like Brad has no clue whatsoever. It's funny how can be so perceptive and clueless at the same time.
After Brad confronted Tony about going to Equestria, he was full of questions, "How did you get there?", "Why you?", "Do they look like they do in the show?", "Is Rainbow Dash as sexy as she is in the show?". Tony answered the questions the best he could (always excluding the last one). Tony also got Brad to swear never to say anything about the Equestria visit to anyone, he didn't want people to think they were creepy or insane. Brad thought the fact of going to Equestria was awesome, any brony would, and said he would try and help cover it up if Tony went back again. Eventually, Brad found something else to occupy his attention, probably the whole serenade thing.
The bus pulled up at the school and cut Brad's rant short. Tony was on his last legs, it was going to be very difficult to get into the school, the longest he has stayed up was up to 3 AM, but 5 days? He didn't know how much longer he could last until fainting. He stumbled over to his first class and sat down, this will be a long day.
__________________________________________
Tyler got off the bus and went to his locker, still hoping to see Fred show up late, but Tyler still couldn't find him. He shut his locker and started to walk back to class until he felt a tentative tap on his back. Tyler jumped, this must be Fred, so he turned around and asked, "Hey Fred! How did the serenade go?" Tyler was immediately disappointed, it wasn't Fred, but Brad's sister, Angel.
"Oh, you knew about that?" she asked shyly, "Do you know who did it?"
Tyler froze, he didn't know what to tell her. Should I tell her it was Fred, or should I LIE!?, he thought, No, lying is wrong. "Um, yes," Tyler whispered uncharacteristically, "It was Fred..."
__________________________________________
Fred heard the doorbell ring, but he ignored it and went back to feeling bad for himself. The doorbell ringed again, but he continued to ignore it. Then, the doorbell rang again, and again, and again, and it wouldn't stop. Fred got up, he couldn't hear his own self-pity, he went to the door and opened it. "SHUT-," Fred just then realized who was at the door, it was Angel. She looked up at him and said, "Yes."
__________________________________________
Twilight turned off the TV as the credits rolled, and Tony, looking more refreshed than ever, stood up. He looked at Twilight and said, "Well that was unnecessarily girly."
