> Celestial Love Book 2: Homesick > by LunaLover1990 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Homesick > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After that night, Luna and I lay together to sleep, extremely content with taking eachother's virginity. We both understood eachother now, and we had no regrets. At dawn, I woke up to see Luna's still sleeping face. She had an expression of pure joy, and I smiled at that. She was just so cute! I tried to remember what had happened to cause all this. Then, I realized something: I was in Equestria. I was a 16 year old brony from Kentucky. I loved science. I knew that everything going on was freaking impossible, yet somehow, I had fallen through a portal into another dimension. I just laid there and smiled at it. 'I've pretty much proved the multi-universe theory by coming here!' I thought to myself. Looking back, I realized that if it weren't for all of this, nobody would ever think that I could prove the theory. But once I got home, I could tell my family all about it! Suddenly, Luna awoke. She looked at me and smiled. "Good morning, Moon Pie!" I said, gleeful. She giggled at that little name and replied by stating, "Good morning, Seabiscuit!" I chuckled at that silly nickname, glad she came up with such a thing. We just smiled at eachother and started kissing again. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. "Just a moment!" Luna exclaimed, breaking the kiss. I knew that if anybody saw us together, there would be harsh rumors, so I hid in her closet as Luna opened the door. "Ah, Twilight Sparkle, what a lovely surprise." Luna said as she opened the door. "Come in! Come in!" She replied. "What is it you need, Miss Sparkle? I certainly hope it is important." "Hello, Princess!" Twilight started, a grin on her face. "No, it's nothing important. It's just, I was visiting my brother in the castle last night, and I heard moaning coming from your room. I just wanted to check on y-" "Heh-choo!" I sneezed, causing Twilight to narrow her eyes in suspicion. "Damn!" I heard Luna mumble under her breath. "Gruh! General, you might as well come out, love." Slowly, I stumbled out of the closet, head lowered, and, upon meeting eyes with Twilight, I said, "Um... Good morning?" For just a moment, Twilight looked between the two of us, then glared at me and asked Luna, "What in Equestria is going on here? Who is he?" I looked between the two of them, then stared straight at Twilight and explained myself, stating, "Fine, here goes. My name is General Smiddy. I'm from a parallel dimension, the 3rd dimension, where I live on a planet called Earth. Long story short, I fell through some kind of wormhole or something and here I am! Last night, me and Luna went out to dinner, and um... well, I won't get into details about what happened afterward, but I'll just say it was very intimate. Look, Twilight, please don't tell anypony about this!" "Why shouldn't I?!" She demanded, pissed off. I looked between the two of them. I was so upset. She should've been able to know why I didn't want anybody to know about this! But, still, as I looked lovingly at Luna, I answered her, stating, "Twilight... I love Luna. She's beautiful, kind, intelligent, and sexy! The two of us love eachother, and if anypony knows about this, there will be rumors, and if there are rumors, we'll be in too much pain to love eachother! I-I just... I will defend my mare if need be, I'll defend her from the rumors, but it won't do much good at all! I just... I fucking don't want to do something pointless, and I don't want Luna to be hurt. Look, j-just... Do you understand?" I was certain she would say no, so I pulled my hoof back to give a punch to knock her out if need be. "Yes." She replied."Y-you'll keep this secret?" I asked, preparing to lower my hoof. "Yes. I'll keep this secret." Luna and I just couldn't believe it. Suddenly, without thinking, I wrapped my legs around Twilight in a hug of gratitude, as did Luna. Twilight blushed, but she still stayed in the embrace, chuckling awkwardly. ..... Luna and I were sitting in her bed chambers, enjoying a little wine, when I thought of my family, and I got sad. I missed them. I was so scared about how they might have been reacting to my being gone. I felt a tear slip loose from my eye. "What is wrong, love?" Luna asked me as she noticed my wet eyes. "Oh, it's just..." I started, saddened. "I miss my family. I'm sure they're worrying about me, and, I'm just wondering how they're doing." Luna noticed that my single tear had turned into a slight stream. "Oh, I see. You're just homesick. Well, no need to worry! I'm sure we can find a way to get you back home! Just have faith!" Luna replied in turn. "Luna," I continued. "I don't think you understand. Yes, we can probably get me home, and I'll be able to explain to my family what happened. But - and this is a big but - I love you, and we don't know if I'll be able to come back! I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to stay away from my family!" Towards the end of the little monologue there, I was full on bawling, my eyes covered in more water than a drowning octopus. "I don't wanna lose you, Luna... I don't wanna lose you..." Luna looked at me, and she started to cry a bit as she proclaimed, "Now, don't cry, love, I'm sure we can... figure something out! Like maybe... no, no that won't work... Oh, maybe we could... no, we'd need to sacrifice a virgin for that... We could... Um... W-w-we... we could..." She stuttered. Suddenly, she burst into tears as well, probably because she realized there probably wasn't anyway for me to get to my family, AND be able to see her! We cried loud and hard, sobbing as we held eachother. We didn't care who heard anymore, who found out about our love. Our cries could probably be heard all the way from Fillydelphia. We had bloodshot eyes when suddenly, the guards came to see what the problem was. When they found the two of us crying, they tried to comfort us as they figured out what the problem was. We told them everything as a courier went back and forth between Celestia and the guards. When it finally seemed that a solution had been reached, Celestia asked for us to come to the castle gardens. We didn't want to insult her, and we figured that she might actually have the solution. So, holding eachother passionatly, we followed the guards to the gardens. ..... > The Idea > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tell me, Mister Smiddy," Celestia began, a bit empathetic. "Why do you ask this favor?" I looked first at Celestia, then at Luna, then back at Celestia, tears welling up in my eyes once more. Finally, I brought my head up and stared straight into the eyes of the Princess of the Sun as I emotionally stated, "Because, Your Majesty, I... l-l..." I stumbled on the "L-word", knowing it might be a bit innapropriate, but I finally choked it out, saying, "love your sister, Luna. I don't want to leave her, but, Good Princess, I want to be able to see my family back in my... dimension, I suppose is the term." Even though back on Earth I had always believed in parallel dimensions and universes, I still thought this shit was as crazy as... well, as crazy as bucking a technicolor pony in what you THINK is nothing more than a cartoon! Celestia looked at my sincere expression of extreme sadness. She wanted to make me feel better, but she couldn't think of anything. Suddenly, she seemed to have a metaphorical light bulb over her head. "Perhaps," She started, smiling. "We could begin in the Everfree Forest. What we need requires many things. But, this may take a while. First, you will need to get a Manticore's Fang from the forest. I won't tell you how that will help, but it will be used to make a weapon that is not a weapon." She winked at me, thinking I would understand the riddle, but, I was confused. Even so, she continued, uneffected by my cluelessness. "You can gather 6 allies to aid you in this journey. I know you will choose the right Manes." I knew what she meant that time; she hinted off a bit too much. I winked at her and nodded, the tears still flowing, but tears of joy now. I thanked her and nodded good-bye to everybody there as I left. As I walked away, Luna came up and asked me, "Who are you going to take with you?" She asked me, curious. "Oh, don't worry, love." I continued. "You'll find out soon enough." Then I stopped, and looked at Luna. We were in the middle of a hall, and nobody was around. I took her in my legs and kissed her deeply. > The P-Team (P means Pony) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 2012, a young stallion named General Smiddy in the land of Equestria gathered together a team of ponies to help him be able to see his family in his dimension/world Earth, but still be able to see his new squeeze, Luna. If you've got a problem switching between dimensions, if you need a portal to Equestria, call in, the P-Team! *In a voice over alongside some closed captions* Applejack, the Honest, Bravehearted Motherbucker of an apple farmer/farmer's daughter! Rarity, the Generous-yet-vain Primadonna of a beauty-queen! Pinkie Pie, the Wild-Ass Party-Pony! Fluttershy, the Gentle Tree-Hugger! Rainbow Dash, the Mega-Fast, boastful-yet-trustworthy Element of Loyalty! And Twilight Sparkle, the Magical Over-Achiever! ..... I started at Sweet Apple Acres to ask my new boss, Applejack, if she would help. I told her everything as quickly as I could. "So, Miss Applejack," I began, hopeful. "Now that you understand what is going on... could you... please help me?" "Well now, sho 'nuff sugarcube! Ah think it's real nice what y'all've got goin' on with the Moon Princess! I'll help in anyway Ah possibly can!" I smiled at her response, not able to help laughing at her drawl. I'd never heard it so close up, save for when I applied. I apologized for laughing, and she said it was alright. She waved good-bye as I walked off. ..... Next up, Fluttershy, I thought to myself as I walked to her house. Remembering some creepy youtube videos, I avoided her shed, so as to avoid the fate of that fake RD, and went straight to her front door. I knocked on her door 3 times before she worked up the nerve to answer. "H-hello?" She spoke in fear at first, then, for some reason, she perked up when she noticed it was me. "Excuse me, Fluttershy, um, could you please help me in the quest I'm going on?" I asked, hoping she would say yes, despite her common fear. Surprisingly, she answered almost instantly with great vigor, "Oh, why, yes! I would love to!" I jumped at her sudden change of tone, then smiled. She smiled and made her "squee" that makes everybody d'aww! ..... As I walked up to Pinkie Pie's house, I jumped as Pinkie Pie suddenly shouted, "Hi there! Need some help?" as she appeared right beside me out of no where, scaring the shit out of me. "Uh, yes." I stated, after which I explained the situation. "So then, Pinkie, will you h-" "OH YES! I'd love to help!" She interrupted as she ran to gather her supplies. Okay, I thought to myself. Only 3 ponies to go! And yet, even as I smiled at Pinkie Pie's crazy antics and zaniness, I feared she might be like in Cupcakes, and I might be on her list, and that was why she was so entheusiastic. I made the sign of the cross and made a quick prayer as I flew off to get Rainbow Dash on board. ..... "Yo, Dash, what's up?" I shouted as I knocked on her door. "Uh, what is it ya need, exactly?" She asked. I explained the story, going into as vivid of detail as I could, without mentioning the details of the sex Luna and I had. "Ah, I see what the problem is. And you want my awesomeness to help you out?" She replied, boastful. "Um... yes?" I said, a bit confused as to how to react. "Alright, alright, I'll do it. On one condition: you beat me in a flying race. I grinned, happy to have been challenged to this. "Deal!" I replied. And now for a side-story! > The Race > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash and I stood at the starting line of her house, and would finish at the entrance of the castle. I was so psyched up for this! I got to race the fastest character in the show! Applejack was timing the race. "On yer mark... git set... GO!" She shouted. Rainbow Dash and I both took off extremely fast, both confident. Then, I pulled a bit of a shit move (which worked!): I slowed down. RD noticed this, and got cocky. She started flying backwards, sticking her tongue out at me. As I began speeding back up, she flew into a tree, after which I caught up. Once I caught up, she had finally become intelligible again. She grinned at me, appreciating my willingess and cleverness in such a prank. She was going so fast, she almost pulled off the Sonic Rainboom, when suddenly I just kicked into high gear and broke not just the sound barrier, but beyond that. I must have reached the speed to break the sound barrier - x4! I sped past Rainbow Dash, leaving her to stare in awe as she stopped mid-Rainboom. As I flew, I saw such odd things - amazing colors, crazy shapes, beautiful scenes of all sorts of different things, all of which appeared out of nowhere! Eventually, I decided that it must have been my conciousness slowly breaking down as the incredible speed took it's toll on my body, mind, and soul When I reached the castle no more than 10 seconds after that, I flew on back at the same speed until I reached RD. I thought she would break down crying, but instead, she cheered, excited she had found somepony faster than her! I was certain I had replaced the Wonderbolts in her mind from how hard she was shouting. She hugged me and said what a big fan she had become of me just then. 'Unbelievable,' I thought to myself. 'I have a fan!' As I flew off with RD in tow, I wondered to myself, 'I wonder if I could join the Wonderbolts...? Ach! No, no, I can't do that! I have Luna, and my family! I can't do that!' But still... > The P-Team (After the Side-Story) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the UNBELIEVEABLE results from the race with Dash, I had 4 ponies in tow and 2 to go. I continued on to where I was staying while I was here, where I met up with Rarity and told her the situation. "So then, Rarity," I began to ask. "Will you join us in Everfree to get the Fang?" Rarity obviously contimplated it a moment, then decided, saying, "Alright than! I do hope that my mane and tail don't get dirty! Mama's done a lot of work on it today!" I smiled at her and promised, stating, "Hehe, alright than. I'll do what I can to keep you clean!" As she came along, I thought about where Twilight might be, 'cause you never know with her! ..... We searched for a couple of hours before we found Luna. I searched all of Canterlot 2 times over to no avail. I tried to scry where she was at using what little I had managed to learn of magic in this world, but I couldn't find her. Fluttershy had searched all over Cloudsdale, and Rainbow Dash had searched every inch of the Everfree Forest. Applejack searched Sweet Apple Acres and Ponyville alongside Pinkie Pie and Rarity, all to find nothing. "Dammit," I mumbled to myself. "Where is that unicorn?" I continued trying to scry her, when I suddenly two unexpected mares helped me. The mint green mare, Lyra, and her friend, Bonbon. "Oh, you're looking for Twilight?" Bonbon said. "I know where she is." Lyra said. "You do?" "Oh yeah, she's visiting with her brother still. She should be in the castle." I thanked them and hurried off to the castle. It was only once I got there that I realized, I didn't know where in the castle her brother would stay. "Shit!" I cursed. "What is wrong?" A nearby guard asked me, shocked by my sudden outburst. "Huh? Oh, sorry. It's just... I'm looking for Twilight Sparkle, I need something of her. I was told she was visiting her brother Shining Armor, but I don't know where he's at in this castle, or his sister, for that matter." "Well, if you're looking for Miss Sparkle, she should be in her brother's chambers. Go down to the end of this hall and turn left, it should be the 2nd door on the right." I nodded my thanks to the guard as I began to run in the direction he told me. Within moments, I found the door he was talking about. I knocked on it, and I heard a masculine voice say, "Come in!" I came in and saw Shining Armor talking to his younger sister, Twilight. "Oh, um... Hello..." The male unicorn said. "Um... Do I know you?" I shook my head. "No, but your sister does." I replied. She nodded, and came up to me. "Hello again, Mister Smiddy. How can I help you?" She asked me. "I'm gathering together a team to help me with something. I've gotten your five friends, and now I just need you to help." She looked surprised for a moment, then continued. "What do you need?" "Well, Luna and I knew I would need to get home, but I need something that can get me between my world, and back here to Equestria so I can be with Luna. Celestia came up with a plan, and she said I needed to bring 6 ponies to help you. And so, I decided to go with you and your friends." As I spoke she seemed to be contimplating what I said already. Finally, she answered. "Alright then," She said. "I'll help you." She walked back to her confused older brother and began speaking to him. "Big brother, I have to go now. We can continue our conversation later, but for now, I need to help my new friend. I hope you understand." I nodded my thanks to her as she came along. "Let's do this." She said to me. We began to trot down the hall, out to Canterlot, then to meet with the others. > The Adventure Begins > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning, Luna and I woke up in eachother's hooves, loving eachother's embrace. "Oh, General," She began. "I am going to miss you so much!" I looked at her. Every moment, her face was more beautiful. Her dark violet-blue fur, her sapphire eyes, her beautiful face... "I'm going to miss you, too. But we've just got to be strong. I'll be back before you know it. Just trust me." I replied to her as she began to let tears slip. "Hey now," I continued, not wanting her to cry. "Don't be sad. I'll be gone for a while, but I'll be back soon. You've nothing to worry about, Moon Pie." She giggled and sniffed a bit, laughing at my little pet name for her. "There's that smile, there's what I wanted to see!" I stated, smiling. "Can I trust you to stay strong and hopeful while I'm gone?" I asked her. "Oh, I suppose so, my great King of the Seas!" She toyed, thinking up a pet name for me. I smiled at her, glad she had cheered up, as I leaned over to her. "Kiss me, my beautiful Queen of the Holy Moon!" I flirted. "Kiss me, My King of All the Blessed Seas!" She replied as I wrapped my legs around her chest and back in a loving embrace. We kissed for several minutes until I let her go. "I'll see you soon, Luna dearest!" I said, walking away with my provisions on my back. She tried to stay strong as I walked off, but even so, as I closed the door behind me, she burst into tears. ..... A few hours later, the 7 of us (8 counting Spike, ever following Twilight around) had traveled to the very center of the Everfree Forest. We were wandering around, looking for the Manticore, when I heard something. I beckoned them all over. For another hour or so, we continued in the direction of the sound, getting louder every moment. Finally, I stopped them, and there it was. In a large clearing, there was a Manticore. It looked kind of young for a Manticore, probably just an adolescent. I noticed that it had been shedding a few teeth, and among the small pile was a large, curved tooth; a Manticore's Fang. I considered the best way to do this, then I beckoned Fluttershy over to help. She wasn't scared of Manticores, as she had shown in the first couple of episodes in the cartoon series, so she followed quickly. When we got there, I told her my plan, saying, "Now Fluttershy, I can just pick up the fang and we can all go. But, if this thing wakes up, we're all dead. Can I trust you to keep it calm and sleepy?" Without a nanosecond of hesitation, Fluttershy grinned and whispered, "Sure thing! You can count on me!" I smiled and thanked her for that. She stepped up to the Manticore and started stroking it's mane and murmuring softly to the great beast. While she did that, I took my magic, and I slowly lifted the fang and levitated it over to the others. I told Fluttershy we were ready, and she nodded. We slowly backed away, hoping to get out of there safely. We failed, of course. Suddenly, I stepped on a branch. The Manticore's eye shot open, bloodshot and angry. Suddenly, it roared. It jumped at me, tearing at my throat. I managed to avoid every strike, thank God, but he still landed on me. I could hear the crunching, grinding sound of my leg breaking. As painful as it was, I just ignored it and stabbed my horn into the beast's throat - to no avail. I realized then that I couldn't beat that beast! "Gragh! H-hrelp! Herrel!" I choked out as it pressed it's paw onto my throat, trying to break my trachea. I cried out in pain, awaiting the end, when suddenly, I heard the most heavenly singing in a completely alien language. "Nyowah ret shouvan Ropak chuah to Mancoru! Nyailf gruh san lo Mant. Ark cho fukargah chofauven!" I heard Fluttershy sing. I didn't know what it meant, but I could sense it's meaning in my very blood as she sang. I couldn't believe how beautiful it sounded... How angelic... When she finally stopped singing, I saw that the young Manticore's eyes were drooping, and had a tiny grin on it's face. Before long, it fell asleep. I couldn't believe it! I mean, I knew that Fluttershy could do a lot of things to calm animals, but this... I just couldn't believe it! It was crazy! Then, suddenly, I noticed something else: Fluttershy's singing had healed my leg! I grinned at Fluttershy in thanks, and told everybody that we could go. By the time we had gotten out of the forest, we were all panting like crazy, as we had ran the whole way. I grinned at Fluttershy again, and she started blushing, though why I couldn't exactly tell. I gave the fang to Spike, and he let his fire burst forth on it, sending it to Celestia. We only had to wait a few seconds before we got a response. It arrived in an odd fasion, though. Instead of the letter coming from Spike's gullet in a fiery form, a glowing violet portal appeared. Out of the portal came a scroll of ivory-white parchment. Written on it in black ink was what she wanted next. "Well done in getting the fang so quickly, children. You are all very well trained, obviously. Hopefully, you will each be able to put your talents to work in the next challenge. I will need some diamond glass and ruby dust taken from the gemstones of the Diamond Dogs' mines. I wish you the best of luck!" It stated. We nodded to eachother. Rarity seemed a bit hesitant to go at first, but then decided that it couldn't hurt. ..... A few hours later, we came across a hippogryph, large even for it's own kin, right outside the mines. I was confused, when I noticed a scroll tied to it's leg. I unraveled and read it. It said, " This hippogryph is an old friend. Be very kind with it, as it is a wise and intelligent creature, not unlike the ponies. It is young, so it cannot talk yet, but it is larger then others because it's sire was a royal hippogryph. It will be able to help you all in any fights, and it can carry a few of the non-pegasi in the group on it's back to each individual destination. Good luck. -Sincerely, Princess Celestia. I smiled, grateful for the aid, and patted the creature's back. I knew it wouldn't like the caves, so I kept it outside, telling it we would be back soon. The six of them walked past it, a bit frightened by the great beast, (even Fluttershy!) and entered the caves. I let Spike go in, then, as I stopped and talked to the great beast. "Thank you, great beast, for aiding us. I hope you are comfortable helping us. I know you're a powerful and elegant creature, and you deserve great respect. Can you tell me your name?" As I waited, I saw the hippogryph close it's eyes, and I heard something odd reverbrating in my skull. At first, I wasn't sure what it was, then I understood. It was the beast's voice: 'Name... Zorg...' It whispered into my mind. I realized instantly the meaning of the word. I had researched ancient and modern civilizations, and knew that it was Dutch for "Care". I grinned at the beast, and nodded my thanks at it as I walked into the caverns. ..... About a minute later, we reached the cavern floor of the first chamber. We saw no gems, and no hint of them even, so we had Rarity use her magic to show us where some diamonds and rubies might be. Her horn quickly started glowing. She pointed us down the westernmost shaft, and we followed. It wasn't 5 minutes before we came to a room filled with diamonds, rubies, amethyst, sapphire, and topaz! We all marveled at the sight, and Rarity nearly had a heart attack when she saw all of those beautiful gemstones! "Oh, my, oh my oh my oh my oh my!" She mused. "After we've got what we need, I'll just HAVE to get as many of these gems as I can! Oh, so beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful!" We all chuckled at Rarity's obsession with gems. "Oh, Mama's going to have so many needed supplies after this! Ooh!" Out of nowhere, she pulled out a mining cart. "What the..." I started, confused. But PINKIE PIE is supposed to break the fourth wall! I thought to myself. I shrugged it off and we all went to work. We let Rarity go search for the gems she needed for her shop (she had already done her part) while we started mining. Applejack was kicking large veins of diamond, Pinkie Pie hit the ruby veins with a jackhammer she had taken from ABSOLUTELY nowhere, (ah, thats... normal, I suppose) and Twilight used magic to move a mattock back and forth to break the hard rocks. Fluttershy and RD were guarding the entrance when, suddenly, I heard a canine growl. Everybody else noticed it, too. "I got it!" Rainbow Dash said, flying down the tunnel. I stared in amazement as she flew through the tunnels, looking back at me and blushing. ..... "Alright, let's get these ponies!" The head Diamond Dog growled, licking his lips. "I can just taste their succulent, joicy flesh now!" Rainbow Dash glared at them in horror; They were planning to eat the Mane 6! 'No... not them...' Rainbow Dash thought to herself, pissed off. 'Not my friends, and... and... Not... my... GENERAL!' Suddenly, Rainbow Dash leapt out from behind the rock she had been spying behind. She kicked the lead dog in the jaw, breaking his neck and killing him instantly. "Yeah, bitch!" She cried. "That's how we do it in Ponyville!" She kept kicking at the dogs, killing some, wounding others. "Holy sh-" One of the dogs cried out before RD knocked him out with a kick. His eye was blackened and his cheek was bleeding. Suddenly, she just started kicking them in the asses. She left red hoofmarks on the Dogs' rears as they started yelping and running away. "Hell yeah!" She yelled, chasing them back towards the gem chamber where the others were. ..... Suddenly, I saw Rainbow Dash coming back from the tunnel - herding 30 crying and whimpering Diamond Dogs. I grinned at her in thanks as I continued to try and break some diamond free from the veins. She started blushing again. 'Why is she doing that?' I wondered to myself. 'Why is she acting so weird around me?' We all continued freeing some gems from the cave until we finally had enough. After that, we started burning the diamonds into glass and breaking the rubies into dust. Finally, we finished, having made 10 pounds of diamond glass and 15 pounds of ruby dust. We began sending the dust and glass to Celestia 5 pounds at a time, making sure Spike didn't try to eat any of the precious jewels. After that was all done and over with, we received a scroll from Celestia. On it Celestia wrote, "Young students, you've done very well. I hope you are all ready for a long trip, because this next one will take you a ways away. You must retreive the Golden Apples of the Dwarves. The Dwarves are a vile group of monsters who live in dark caves on the eastern coast of Equestria, where they mine all sorts of iron, silver, copper, and gold. With those apples, I will be able to complete what I am making to aid you. Good luck, my little ponies!" I told everybody that, and they looked excited and anxious at the same time. None of them had ever even gone as far as Fillydelphia, let alone the eastern coast of Equestria! We all got very excited. We already had all the provisions we needed, so, we put Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity on the back of the Zorg (Applejack said she wanted to run there). We started east, wondering what adventures we would experience. And the whole time, whenever I looked at Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash, they would grin and blush. 'What the fuck is going on with them?' I asked myself as we all traveled to the east. > Battle Time and WTF Moments! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 hours later, we'd stopped for the night, when the craziest fucking shit happened! I had been up meditating in my tent while everybody else slept, when suddenly, I heard Fluttershy outside whisper, "Um... uh, could I... come in?" In my mind, I was wondering what she needed, but there was no problem, so I told her, "Come on in!" When she got in there, I was a bit confused, because she was blushing. I proceeded to gently ask her, "What do ya need?" She continued blushing and glancing around, probably embarrassed, when she replied, saying, "Uh, General, I... um, uh, I... IthinkIaminlovewithyou!" Her cheeks were as red as blood when she said that, and I noticed she even had tears in her eyes. I tried to calm her down as I talked to her. "Oh, hey now, Fluttershy," I started, trying not to hurt her fragile her emotions. "Look, you... you're a fine little mare. You're cute, kind, intelligent, and I mean, look at that body! Any stallion would be lucky to have you, Fluttershy, and, I like you, but, not that way, but... as a friend. I'm sorry Fluttershy. You understand?" She looked at me with her big old eyes, threatening to cry again, making my heart break. 'Oh... Please... Don't cry...' I thought to myself as a few tears let slip from her eyes. "It's okay, Fluttershy. Please, don't cry, don't cry. Oh, Fluttershy! Don't!" Despite my pleas, the dam burst, and she began to cry. I didn't know what to do! I just looked at the little cream-colored pegasus with some regret, and I finally decided to do something. I embraced Fluttershy in a hug, not knowing what else to do. "It's alright, please, don't cry!" I begged her as she continued sobbing. Before long, she finally calmed down as I held her in the friendly embrace. "Oh... uh, um... I'm so sorry, General! I shouldn't have done this to you! Please, forgive me..." She pleaded, apologizing regretfully. "Oh, Fluttershy, it's ok. You didn't do anything wrong. You just felt something, and expressed your feelings. You shouldn't be so sad. Look, I'm sure you'll find somepony. And, by the way, there's no reason for you to apologize for everything, okay?" I replied with a weak smile. She thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke, stating, "Okay. But, there is one thing I should be sorry for, General. I just, really hope it's ok. I hope you can forgive me!" "Wha-" I started, interrupted as she pressed her lips to mine. I didn't break the kiss, but neither did I indulge in it. I just sat there, thinking, 'What the hell!' After a moment, she broke the kiss, then whispered, "Sorry. Thanks for your time." I just stayed up a while after that, trying to process what the in the Holy Name of God just fucking happened. I never got back to sleep. I just... considered that crazy-ass shit as I heard whispers in my head about what just happened. ..... The next morning, we started out again. I noticed Fluttershy glance my way a few times, but we never made any major eye contact. When we stopped for lunch that day, I noticed Twilight looking between me and Fluttershy awkwardly, and I thought she knew what had happened. I started blushing a bit and looked away. A few hours after that, we were all back on the road, but I was flying near the ground this time, and Applejack had switched out with Twilight on Zorg. Twilight came by me, and asked awkwardly, "Um... so, what, uh, happened between you and Fluttershy last night?" I blushed, then told her everything. Her eyes went wide, and when I finsihed, she replied, saying, "Wow... I knew she was talking about having a crush on you, but, I wouldn't think she would actually tell you..." I giggled a bit at that myself, realizing her shock and surprise. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash shouted, "Midgets!" while pointing east. I laughed out loud at the sudden outburst, surprised by the term she used, when I saw what the hell she meant. She was pointing at what was probably 30 demonic, gremlin-like hellions (that were actually the Dwarves, believe it or not) running at the 8 of us with spears made of gilded ivory. They were roaring at us, gnashing their teeth and mocking us like they were going to win, when I said, partly out of humor, partly serious, "Aw, Heyel, naw!" as RD and I flew at them full speed, preparing to attack. ..... 4 hours later, we had beaten the little bastards, every last one of them, without taking a single scratch! Nobody had been afraid, not even Fluttershy! To celebrate, I brought out some wine I had decided to take with me. I gave them each a few goblets, and because this was good shit, (94.7% alcohol) we got drunk off of our asses! However, that didn't cause the what happened next. Rainbow Dash got up and said the craziest thing. She wasn't even drunk, she'd only taken half a sip of her first glass! "Hey everypony," She started, surprising us as Fluttershy and I were singing a duet of that song "Eye of the Gryphon". "I have something to tell you! I am in love with... General!" Everybody laughed, not realizing what she said. But I did. I had only drank sparingly, having only one glass. It surprised me so much, I just walked back to my tent, pissed off. But not at Dash. No, rather, I was pissed at myself. I just stayed there, thinking, 'What the fuck, why do ponies keep falling in love with me?!' A few minutes later, Dash came in. "General," She started, blushing. "I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have embarrassed you like that! It's just, you're so kind, and friendly, and strong, and brave and-" "It's alright." I stated. "You probably just... Weren't thinking. Don't worry about it. Honestly, I'm a bit flattered. On my world, my life, I'm overweight. I'm nothing on my world, with very few friends. I'm just worthless on my world. Worthless!" I began sobbing, realizing how much my actual life sucked. "General," She continued. "You're not worthless!" "Yes I am..." "No you're not!" "Yes I-" "Damn it, you're not!" She snapped. "Look, General, you killed 20 of those beasts out there today on your own. You reached a speed 4 times that needed to break the sound barrier. You're going out with a fucking princess, for Celestia's sake! You aren't, fucking, worthless! Any mare would be lucky to have you! You'd have to be an idiot to say you're worthless, General! No matter what you're like physically, there's something to you that makes anyone that has you luckier than anyone else in the world!" Tears of fury and passion in my eyes, I looked at her and said, "Dash, all of this shit is my fault! I mean, I shouldn't be in this world! I've broken Fluttershy's heart, I've broken your heart, and if I die on this quest, I'll be breaking Luna's heart! Please, Rainbow Dash, forgive me for what I've done! For hurting you!" She looked at me with pity, realizing how upset I was. "General, you've done nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing. You have nothing to be sorry for." She stated, after which she embraced me in a hug. I sat there crying, until she broke the hug and left my tent. After that whole ordeal, I realized what I needed to do. I grabbed all my things, then prepared for the morning. ..... The next morning, I had my stuff ready, and I left a note by Rainbow Dash's head. After that, I flew off quietly, not wanting to wake anybody. I didn't want to leave them, but, I mean... they were just so kind, so caring, I couldn't take a chance of them getting hurt! I left them so I could do this on my own, let them go home safely. > The Note > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile... Rainbow Dash heard some kind of flapping. She wasn't sure what it was, but she didn't care. She was tired. Tired from drinking. Tired from talking with General from the night before. And, she was tired from... well, from being tired from shit! She was just flat out tired. When she finally came to an hour later, she noticed a piece of paper by her face. She got up and ate a small bit of hay before reading the random parchment. What she read was upsetting her, upsetting her so much to where tears of anger sprang to her eyes. Dear Rainbow Dash, I am so sorry I have to do this, but I am leaving you and the group to do this on my own. You all are just so kind and sweet, I couldn't stand the thought of putting you all in danger. I don't deserve friends like you all. I know you'll be able to lead the group. I want you all to head on back to Ponyville after telling Celestia what's happening. Good luck on your journey. Sincerely, General She let her jaw gape open at the note, unable to believe what she just read. After a minute or two, she went and woke everybody up to show them the note. "Damn that alicorn!" Twilight mumbled, pissed off. "We gotta git 'em!" Applejack exclaimed. "You're right! But how?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Just leave it to me and my G.P.S.: General Positioning System!" Pinkie Pie shouted, pulling a device out of nowhere."Um... did, you put some kind of chip on General?" Fluttershy asked. "Yup yup yup! Now come on, let's go, go, go!" She shouted, running east. The others, not knowing how to argue something with Pinkie Pie, followed soon after. "Wow, Pinkie," Rainbow Dash muttered under her breath. "You are the most random bitch I have EVER met!" > Near Death > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I flew for only a few hours when I saw the caves. Upon reaching the caves, I noticed there were 5 caves: the outer 2 were barely small enough for a filly to fit through, whereas the inner two were large enough for 2 lines of ponies with 4 ponies on top of them to fit through. Then, I saw the very middle cave, and it was amazing. It was 100 feet wide by 50 feet high. It's entrance was covered in gold intertwined with silver, and from where I was hovering at, I could see the tree within, made of pure gold, and I knew that in it's branches, far above the cave floor, there were gilded apples, probably formed by magic. After a few moments to bask in the glory of the cave's beauty, I zealously flew to the entrance. When I was about 50 feet away, I was swarmed by thousands of the hellions that are Dwarves. I wasn't afraid. I just started kicking the shit out of them. At first, I wasn't having any trouble at all, just bloodying the ground, killing the little bastards like there was no tomorrow. 10 down, 20 down, 30 down, 40 down, 50 down. Hell, I downed 300 of the little bastards in 2 hours flat. But, they just kept coming! Thousands and thousands of beasts attacked me, clawing at my flesh, drawing great lines of blood. I couldn't keep this up much longer! I knew they were going to get me sooner or later, but I just kept it up. I kicked one in the jaw, the next in the nuts. They just kept coming! I cried then. I realized what I had done was foolish! I might've actually been able to kill them all with some help from the others, but I left them behind. At that moment, I realized I was going to die. Blood spewing from my chest and legs, I stayed up the whole time and killed all of the bastards I could. 'Mom...' I thought to myself, tears coming in a flood. 'My brother...' 'My sister...' 'Luna... Luna!' My tears continued to flow, but suddenly, I felt such determination. "YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. "I MAY DIE HERE AND NOW, BUT NOT BEFORE I TAKE AS MANY OF YOUR FUCKING LITTLE ASSES WITH ME AS I CAN! GIVE ME YOUR BEST FUCKING SHOT!" I stopped kicking them and started biting through their flesh with my sharp teeth that I had. I tasted their blood on my tongue. I nearly vomited, the taste being so acrid and bitter that I couldn't take it, but I just kept fighting. I started killing dozens by the second in a fury of righteous power. Suddenly, the cavalry came. I saw Pinkie Pie blowing on a flugelhorn as the Mane 6 plus Spike started running in over the hills towards me. The blood loss started to catch up to me then. I felt woozie as I saw Zorg impale a dozen of the beasts on his beak. Just as I kicked through one more Dwarf, I began to feel myself falling. The world was going sideways, and my eyesight was going black. I finally passed out with a grin on my face as I awaited Death's dark but warm embrace. > Good-Bye, All. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I woke up what I thought was about 9 hours later, I was horrified and joyed at the scene before me. There were ten thousand dead dwarves in front of me, and standing amongst them were my rescuers: Applejack. Fluttershy. Twilight Sparkle. Rainbow Dash. Rarity. Spike. And, of course, the ever zany Pinkie Pie. I smiled at all of them and noticed that I was stiched up everywhere the creatures had torn at. I looked around, and when I saw Fluttershy grinning at me, I realized she had done it, and I nodded my thanks to her. I had 7 great friends who would help me out, even if I piss them off. I started to thank them, only getting out, "Th-" before I got an epic bitch slap from Twilight, obviously the most pissed. "Okie dokie than, I guess some apologies are in order." As I went down the 7 of them, apologizing for everything, they all smiled and said that they were just glad I hadn't died. When I was finished, we all went into the middle cave, and debated how to get the apples down. The tree was too high for me, RD, or Fluttershy to fly to them, too strong for Aj to kick the apples down, and impervious to magic, so Rarity and Twilight were out of the question. Suddenly, Pinkie Pie pulled out YET ANOTHER wacky invention from ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE! "This'll work! I call it the Apple Sucker!" I chuckled a bit at the slightly suggestive name as she turned it on. Suddenly, it went up the tree, nearly 7 miles into the air, and started sucking up the gilded apples. We couldn't see it happening, but 5 minutes later, it came down, and out of it came 8 golden apple. After that, we had Spike send the apples to Celestia. Not 5 seconds later, a portal appeared. We glanced at eachother, then we entered the portal, 1 by 1, until I entered it last. When we went through the emerald portal, I saw all sorts of things. Not actual "things", so much, but, rather, just hypnotic swirls of color. I saw greens, blues, reds, and yellows. I was certain I was on pot. When we finally made it through the portal, I was amazed by what I saw, what with this being a crazy land full of technicolor cartoon ponies who could probably make cocaine appear out of literally nowhere. I was in an ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY! There were test tubes, beakers, and all that shit! I'd always loved science, so this was fun for me! I looked over, and suddenly, I saw the Manticore's Fang in a tank of quicksilver. But, it was a bit different: There was a diamond crossguard and hilt attached to it, shined to amazing brilliance. The fang itself was acting as a blade, and it was covered in the ruby dust, causing the tooth to be stained into a remarkable scarlet red. "Now then," Celestia started, prepared. "I will soak the blade in the blood of the gilded apples, thus giving it the scientific and magical abilities to traverses up to the 15th dimension, allowing you to travel in time and space from our second dimension to your own third dimension. Amazed at this, I suddenly heard the lab door open. "General?" I heard a melifluious voice puzzle. "Luna?" I replied, already joyful as I turned around. "General!" Luna shouted as she ran up to me and peppered my face with kisses. I blushed furiously as everybody there uttered a chuckle, then sighed at the sight. This was obviously a d'aww moment. "Luna, my love, you have no freaking idea how much I missed you!" I said as I hugged her tighter and tighter. "Nor do you I!" She whispered as she began to push her lips against mine. I loved the feel of her silk lips against mine, and I indulged deeply in her. I enjoyed running my tongue over the flesh of her mouth, loving the feel of her. I tasted all sorts of things on her breath, from the food she had eaten that day, to the unique flavor that was unique to her. I never wanted to leave her. I wanted the two of us to be intertwined, together as one. I wanted the two of us to stay with eachother for eternity, never separated, with eachother unto the day that we died. But despite my greatest wishes, it had to end eventually. I broke the kiss, and I stepped up to Celestia. "I'm ready." I said. Celestia looked into my eyes, and asked me, "Are you sure? If you don't want to go, you don't have to yet." I looked at Luna, then the Mane 6 & Spike, grateful for all of them, before I finally looked at Celestia and shook my head. "No," I replied. "I have to go. I need to see my family. I need to see what has happened in my world since I left." Celestia nodded, and I took the blade in hoof. I looked one last time at my beautiful princess, then slashed down, creating a rift in the fabric universe. I walked through the portal, saying, "Good-bye, all." > What's Going On? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I stepped through the portal, expecting it to be like the one I had stepped through just minutes before, but holy hell, was I wrong! I saw different scenes of the Mane 6 and myself, but not scenes of the recent past. No, not the past - but, rather, the FUTURE! There were scenes of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie! I couldn't tell anything, but I saw them all hugging in those pairs. But, it seemed like more than just a few regular old friendly embraces. I couldn't tell what they were doing, but I brushed it off for the moment. Then, I saw something I liked, but found very odd. Next I saw Luna with a bulging belly. I saw the two of us at some kind of wedding, dressed up extremly fancy-like as we individually strode down the aisle. I saw my mother standing there, watching this wedding with tears welling up in her eyes. I didn't understand what was going, on, and even though nobody could hear me, I shouted, "What the hell? What's going on here?!" Suddenly, I saw a bright light. When I looked at it, I realized that the light was the exit of the portal into my world. I quickly paddled my way through the dimensional wormhole, through all the scenes, and exited the portal...
