Seeing the new Equestria

View Online

It was another day at the ranch for the Megan, Danny, and Molly Williams until one of them received an invite on their phone. Megan looked at her phone and saw the message given from Pipp Petals over on Ponygram. She was told that she can spend some time in Equestria with the ponies and see what has changed since her last visit assuming there were no problems back where she lived.

Megan replied to the message and mentioned, "As much as I would like to come over to see the new Equestria, I would need to know if I can have Danny and Molly come as well not to mention if my dad will be alright with it."

Pipp replied, "I'll be waiting to hear the results for that, and we would love to meet your siblings."

Danny approached Megan after being on her phone and asked, "Who are you responding to Megan?"

Megan answered, "I'm just answering Pipp Petals on Ponygram."

Molly then asked out of interest, "Who is Pipp Petals and what is Ponygram?"

Megan then mentioned, "I guess I haven't told you that Equestria has changed yet again with both new ponies and locations since I last went there."

"I'm surprised that they even have a social media network, because I don't remember the last group of ponies to have something like that." Danny noted.

"I'm even more surprised that you're even part of that said social media network." added Molly.

"However, before we can go, I will have to make sure our dad is alright with this, because I feel he won't let us go for no reason." replied Megan.

The three went over to the house and asked their dad if he was alright with them wanting to go.

Their dad stated, "As long as you three will be alright with those new ponies, I can't see a reason for saying no."

After that, Megan replied on Ponygram to Pipp that their father had no objections to them going and was happy to come over as soon as she heard that said response. Not too long after, they noticed some of the ponies landing at the ranch. The three ponies that arrived for each of them not only included Pipp herself, but also Sunny Starscout and Zipp Storm as well as they were ready to take them to Equestria. Each of them got on one of the ponies as Megan rode on Sunny, Danny, got on Zipp, while Molly was riding on Pipp. As they got to the Crystal Brighthouse, they met Izzy Moonbow, Hitch Trailblazer, and Sparky as they were waiting for them to arrive. Danny and Molly were even surprised when they noticed the wings and horn disappearing from Sunny.

"It's nice to meet you again, Megan." mentioned Hitch.

"These two must be Danny and Molly that you have been mentioning to us through Ponygram." added Izzy.

"Yes, they are." answered Megan.

"I still can't believe that we are meeting completely different ponies." mentioned Danny.

"Neither can I nor can I understand why this dragon can't seem to talk compared to the two Spikes that we have met in the past." replied Molly.

"Sparky may not be able to talk, but he is still fun to be around with, but I would be watch out for his dragon fire, because it can sometimes transform whatever comes into contact with it." said Hitch.

"Aren't you supposed to be an alicorn?" asked Danny.

"What happened to your wings and horn Sunny?" added Molly.

"The crystals that are used for creating unity among the three groups of ponies only make me an alicorn temporarily while I still remain an earth pony." answered Sunny.

"I can still remember that when I asked that question myself when I last came here." mentioned Megan.

After introducing themselves they all hugged and petted the ponies as they went to the light house to have dinner and go to bed as they would be prepared for their trip to see the new Equestria. As morning came, they woke up to have breakfast and were ready to go. Their first stop was Maratime Bay.

Megan thought, "Now that I look at this place, it almost reminds me of Ponyville."

Sunny mentioned, "To a certain extent, Maretime Bay is kind of like Ponyville, though it was originally inhabited by earth ponies before we managed to get the groups back together."

Danny then noticed a yellow earth pony who had a pink mane and teil along with a green bow and mentioned, "For some reason that pony almost reminds me of Posey."

Hitch stated, "Believe or not, that pony's name is actually Posey."

Posey stopped by the group and said, "I see more of these strange creatures are here."

Hitch mentioned, "We have been through this the last time Megan came here and these two happened to be her siblings Danny and Molly."

Posey asked, "How many more of these 'humans' do we have to allow to come into Equestria?"

Zipp interjected with, "Posey, you need to calm down. It's just going to be these three. Megan, Danny, and Molly have known about Equestria back to when it was Pony Land a long time ago. Also, it's not their fault that you resemble a pony they know from that time as well as having the same name, so you do need to chill."

Izzy started to mention, "I'll never forget my first came to Maretime Bay when I was feared by whatever earth pony saw me except for Sunny, who saw the exact opposite of what the others viewed me as."

Sunny replied, "Ever since we found those crystals and brought them back together, all ponies now live here."

Megan added, "That's very nice to hear."

They later on went to Mane Melody to hear Pipp sing some songs.

"I have to admit that Pipp does have a good singing voice." Molly mentioned.

"You'll be saying something completely different after hearing them for a while." replied Zipp.

They even went to see other places such as the Canterlogic Center and Hoovre as they were ready to head on to the next place which was Zephyr Heights as they got there via the Marestream. Seeing that place almost made Maretime Bay feel like a small town as the Williams siblings felt as if they were in a big city compared to where they just were. What impressed them more is that it could almost pass for a major city back on Earth only with pegasi living there instead of people.

Megan stated, "It's interesting that seeing Zephyr Heights almost looks like a major city back in my world. Also, seeing those electronic billboards almost makes some of you ponies caught up with us humans. Even when Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy showed me what Cloudsdale was like, it was nothing like this."

Zipp then thought, "I never thought about that, but that's partly because we didn't know about human culture until we met you the last time."

The group then went to the castle to meet Queen Haven, who was the mother of Zipp and Pipp.

She noticed the three and said, "So this must be the human creatures known as Megan, Danny, Molly Williams, that my daughter has been talking about on her Ponygram account."

Megan asked, "You already know about us?"

Queen Haven answered, "Of course I know about you deary. Do you think I don't use Ponygram just like all the other ponies do in Equestria who happen to have phones? More importantly, it's honor to finally meet you Megan, who happens to be the savior of Pony Land and keeper of the Rainbow of Light."

Megan replied, "Thank you for saying that."

They then noticed a small puffy dog with little wings coming up to them.

"Who is this supposed to be?" asked Danny.

"He looks very cute!" added Molly.

"I see you have met Cloudpuff, and he's very friendly." replied Queen Haven.

"Can we pet him?" asked Megan.

"I don't see why not." answered Queen Haven.

The three then petted Cloudpuff as Megan reminisced about royalty.

Megan then mentioned, "It must be something to be children of royalty."

Pipp said, "It's always something to be proud about."

Zipp stated, "For me, I couldn't care less."

"Why do you say that?" asked Megan.

"I just don't want to feel any more special just for being such and that is despite being next in line for the throne." answered Zipp.

"On the contrary, I would love getting such attention for being of royalty, plus my sister is only next in line due to the fact that she is older than I am, which makes me feel jealous sometimes." replied Pipp.

Queen Haven then started to ask Megan, "Is it really true that you are the one responsible for giving both Princesses Celestia and Luna their names when you first saw them?"

Megan answered, "That is true, and named them for what they reminded me of when I first lifted them at looked at them when they were unicorn fillies at the time. I also did certain things with them when I came back to Equestria. For Luna, I helped her no longer having to fear having a dark side known as Nightmare Moon, while with Celestia, I helped her with a cake addiction she was known for having."

Sunny then came into the conversation and said, "So you're telling me that Luna was actually Nightmare Moon that whole time. I always thought that she was different pony altogether. Now that I know, I find it hard to believe that not to mentioned I actually dressed as her dark side for Nightmare Night."

Megan noted, "Unfortunately, that wasn't something Luna was proud to have, and she was known for becoming such just for having a bunch of negative emotions, which was sort of her weakness, though I could understand why it was kept a secret for a while by both Celestia and the Mane 6 for her sake."

"Why was that case?" asked Sunny.

"It was because Celestia feared that Luna would be ridiculed if the other ponies knew if she was that viscous monster, but it was thanks to me in giving her the support that she was able to apologize and admit she was that form without fearing such." answered Megan.

"Did Celestia also have a dark side as well?" as Sunny continued to ask Megan.

"Unfortunately, she did, and it was Daybreaker. Unlike Nightmare Moon, this one is with a great amount of anger. Luckily Celestia wasn't mad enough to become that regularly. However, I can still remember how scared Twilight Sparkle was when she had to battle her after Princess Dark Matter transformed both of them into their dark sides." replied Megan.

Queen Haven then realized, "So you're saying that neither Celestia and Luna were born as alicorns."

Megan stated, "Neither was Twilight, who was originally a unicorn, or even Cadance, who was a pegasus, though Flurry Heart was actually born as one and that surprised even Celestia and Luna when they saw Cadance giving birth to her."

After all of that, they went back to the Marestream to head to final destination known as Bridlewood, where Izzy was originally from. Unlike the other two, this area it had much less when it came to technology. Nonetheless, it didn't make the Williams siblings feel less interested in what they would see there. For the most part, its residents consisted of unicorns. Even noticing the crystals brought interest to them. Their first stop was seeing were Izzy lived, which was a house integrated into a tree.

"This is where I live when I'm back in Bridlewood." mentioned Izzy.

"Looking at this house sort of reminds me where Twilight used to live before, over at the Golden Oaks Library until she wound up getting the Castle of Friendship from the Tree of Harmony." stated Megan.

"I never thought about that." Sunny noted.

They then found themselves walking into what looked like a dinning establishment known as the Crystal Tea Room where they met a rather large unicorn with gray fur and a white mane and tail known as Alphabittle, who ran the place.

"So, you must be this Megan Williams I have been hearing about." stated Alphabittle.

"I would like to know how you heard about me." replied Megan.

Alphabittle mentioned, "Ever since you last visited Equestria, I have heard Izzy talk about you a lot when she comes her be it alone or with other ponies."

Danny and Molly both said to the large unicorn, "We are her younger brother and sister."

Alphabittle noted, "I can see that."

"What exactly do you do here?" asked Megan.

"This place is usually a dive bar and tea house, though we sometimes we like to play games such as what we have over there." answered Alphabittle.

Megan looked over and said, "It sort of looks like a low-tech version of Dance-Dance Revolution back where I live."

Sunny then noted, "I never thought about that, but I do know I had to play that game just to get the game just to win the Unicorn Crystal from him by beating him one time when I first came her."

Alphabittle stated, "I still can't believe how she beat me despite the fact that I won two out of three, though I did promise here that crystal if she beat me at least once."

After spending their time at that tea house, they went back to the Crystal Britghthouse. Before the Williams siblings were ready to say good-bye, they noticed a familiar dragon coming out of a dimensional portal as if they have seen him before. However, they were surprised about the way he appeared to them especially after not seeing him for such a long time.

Discord came out and said, "It's nice to see you three again even if it has been very long time."

Megan noticed his appearance and stated, "Discord, you looked you have aged quite a lot."

Discord replied, "For some reason, you three looked as if you have hardly aged."

Megan mentioned, "That's because time moves a lot slower in your world than it does in ours."

"I hope you found your time with these new ponies to be of your interest." Discord said to them.

"In a way, they reminded us of the ponies we previously knew as if we never left them." replied Megan.

"For some reason, I never thought about that, though it was my mention of you that allowed you to be with them." answered Discord.

"We can never thank you enough for doing that." mentioned Megan, Danny, and Molly in unison.

The Williams siblings then waved good-bye as they were ready to get back home on the ponies that brought them over the Rainbow Bridge while Megan made sure to use Ponygram to help keep in touch with them should she and even her siblings wanted to return.
