Chapter 1: It's A Colorful Place!
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Luke slammed on his alarm clock, then pressing the button to stop it once it continued to scream at him. He rose with a stretch and a yawn, then got out of bed and put his clothes on.
He made his way downstairs, his roommate saying when he arrived in the kitchen, “Good morning.”
“Good morning, Puppet.” He said, sludging his way to the cabinet to grab the cereal. Puppet was sitting at the table, scrolling on his phone. Luke sat down across from him a few moments later, after his bowl of cereal was complete.
“How’d you sleep?” Puppet asked.
“Pretty alright, could have been longer, but fine other than that.” Luke responded, lifting a spoonful of the breakfast to his mouth. He’s not much of a morning person.
“It always could be longer. You never seem to get the right amount of sleep.” Puppet joked. They sat in silence as the human ate the cereal in his bowl, Luke cleaning out the dish once he finished. “Anything specific you want to do today?”
“Actually, yeah. It’s something new, too.” Luke replied.
“Oh?” Puppet asked in a curious tone. Luke wasn’t much for change, he always stuck to the same few activities.
“Remember the pony show we watched?” The human asked. Take a guess of what show he’s thinking about.
“Yeah, yeah, I do. What about it?”
“Well, I want to go give it a visit, the pony world.”
“Sounds like a plan to me.” Puppet said. Puppet and Luke rarely had any problems in making plans; Puppet was always down for whatever. He’s very relaxed and laid back when it comes to that type of stuff.
“It’ll take me a bit of time to get the teleporter to work and get it to show up there, though.” Puppet continued.
“That’s fine. Just let me know whenever it works then.”
Puppet and Luke went their separate ways, the former heading down to the teleporter room to get started.
Luke and Puppet were bestest friends, despite being quite different. You’d be correct to think this Puppet is the one from the FNaF franchise. Luke was a regular human being, but the two quickly struck up a relationship, being practically inseparable after doing so. They traveled dimensions, landing in what seemed like a replica of Earth, just with no one else there.
The other characters in the pizzeria grew resentment for the two’s relationship, and did what they could to strike down the friendship the two had. After they figured out what the others were trying to do, Puppet and Luke quickly left.
The animatronics popped up every now and then to take Luke away, but the puppet fended the human from the robots. They were always more prepared than the animatronics, which helped them with being outnumbered by the robots. Nonetheless, they always fought off the robotic animals, and continued on living their happy lives here.
Back to the present, as Puppet said, after an hour or two, the teleporter was ready. The two got some gear to bring along in case things went sour, and after double-checking their supplies, they walked through.
Luke went through first, and on the other side of the portal, he stepped onto the cartoon green grass of the pony world. He stepped through completely, and took a look at the cartoony world around him. One word to describe it: colorful. The blues and greens of the sky and grass were bright, even the brown of the branches looked bright.
His mouth was agape as he looked around. Puppet followed behind him, taking a look too. “Much different from our world, huh?”
“Very! This looks so… I don’t even know what to say.”
They turned up in an area surrounded by trees, with a pond in the middle. There was a path, so they started to walk down that, continuing to look around and take in the sights. There were birds here, and they looked so colorful too. Eventually the path led out to an open field, and they walked out into it.
As they walked, Luke felt something grow in his heart and in his mind. Whatever mood he was in before was lifted by this new world they were in. He started to hear music in his ears. Was this… is this a musical number starting to wash over him?
“My eyes can’t seem to believe what they’re processing,
They’re shocked to see that something like this exists
Is this the promised land that had me obsessing?
Is this heaven, this land of bliss?
It’s a colorful place! I can’t comprehend
How you can’t love this eye-catching land;
I want to move here, let’s make a home!
I want to stay here, sight-see and roam,
In this colorful place!”
Luke kept walking along, his marionette friend following behind, happy to see his friend in such a state of euphoria. The human would stop for a moment, to pick up a blue flower on the ground.
“I hoped for days and nights that I’d get here one day,
I bared through it all, hoping it was true…
I wouldn’t change a thing, even with all the heavy weight
That I carried, because now I’m due!
It’s a colorful place, I can’t comprehend
How you can’t love this eye-catching land
I want to move here, let’s make a home
I want to stay here, sight-see and roam,
In this colorful place!”
As if the feelings overtook him, Luke began hopping around and twirling in circles as he sang some “Hey-ohs”. He admired the land around him, even the little creatures not being so scared of him, sensing his pure joy and innocence.
“It’s a colorful place, I can’t comprehend
How you can’t love this eye-catching land-”
He’d grab his puppet friend’s arms and pull him close, continuing:
“I want to move here, let’s make a home!
I want to stay here, sight-see and roam,
In this colorful place that I’ve so long yearned,
Is this for the pain that had me burned?
Is this real? It feels like a dream!
Is this truly what it seems?
This colorful place!”
The duo continued along the path and analyzed the new world for about 15 minutes before sitting beneath a tree for shade. “I’m still in awe, this is amazing!” Luke said to his marionette best friend. “It looks so colorful, and… beautiful. Nothing could ruin this moment!”
Suddenly, as if a higher being was listening in, ponies in armor holding spears dropped from the sky, and surrounded the tree. “Freeze!” One of them yelled when he hit the ground. Luke and Puppet complied, not moving. “Who are you two?”
“Well, uh…” Luke started, before he turned the Puppet, and Puppet turned to him. They stammered on their words for a few seconds before Luke said, “We’re from, uh… not here?”
“I guessed that, where are you from?”
“A far away land.” Puppet said. “One you’ll have no idea of. It’s called Yurstu.”
“Yurstu?” The guard repeated.
“You’re stupid! Ha!” Luke answered, both the outsiders laughing and chucking, Luke finding it funnier than Puppet.
The guards did not think it was funny. “Get up, now.”
The two complied, and they were escorted into a chariot. Soon after, the chariot took off, and the guards began the flight to bring the two to the Canterlot Castle for questioning.
