> New Inhabitants > by Sneaks > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: A brand new day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: A brand new day “Finally! School is out for the weekend, thank GOD!” I say as me and my other friends go out of the middle school to head to our old school, the academy, for something we were planning on doing. “So....we are going to the academy woods right?” My friend Miles asks me. “Yes, we are going to try to find that old building we have heard was back here, remember?” I ask wondering if he actually listened to the long conversation we had previously had at lunch. “Yes, I was just making sure.” Miles says as we make it up to the spot we are heading to. The woods in the back of this school have been home to theories and mysteries that made a lot of people fear going into here. We, being the kind we are, go in there anyway to find that old shack that was part of one of the horror legends we have heard of repeatedly. “Bridget? Did you bring those cutters I asked you to bring?” Sarah asked the fourth member of our party. “Yes, I still don’t understand why these gates are made so you would need barb-wire cutters to get through them” Bridget says because she has been thinking about it for a while. Me, Miles, and Sarah don’t understand it either but don’t really care too much. Our thoughts are focused mainly on trying to see if that legend is real or not, and if it is what is in such a described house. The legend goes like this, in the woods where the trees have curvy branches and creepy face carvings, a hut awaits. Within the hut, remedies and witchcraft magic are made and performed. Now, the legend explains a lot, but the true look and stuff that occurs within it is what we are looking to discover. We travel around the woods for about an hour, not finding anything and we believe we have searched every meter of the forest. “I think this legend is a big bust, there is nowhere we haven’t looked in this forest and it is becoming night. We should head back and call our parents to pick us up.” I say rather disappointedly. We all sigh in defeat and start trying to find the way back. -BOOM- We all fall into a pit we didn’t notice making a huge noise and falling unconscious. We were unaware, since we weren’t awake, that we landed in some sort of magical area.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We finally awake, after about an hour, and the first thing I notice is that the forest looks different. I go out of the pit and start looking around near it. “Why the heck does this place bear a resemblance to the Everfree now?” I ask to myself but sarah hears. Sarah stirrs, "That does seem a bit wei-" she groans, getting up. She freezes and looks at me with shock, "Ch-Chase, LOOK AT YOURSELF!" she gasps. “What do yo-” I start to say but end up stopping as I turn around and see Sarah as a pony. “What the.....who.....WHAT?!” I cannot even complete a thought because my mind is numb from so many things happening at once. I look at myself and realize I am a blue and black pegasus. I do glance at my flank to see what I have as a cutie mark and I am not surprised to see a pen and paper there. I was actually a bit happy to see I am exactly what I wanted, because I am never going to be able to change what I am now. Sarah stood there, just spaced out. She was now a black, bat winged Pegasus with violet dragon eyes. Her tongue was forked, and fangs jutted out over her lip. Her mane was a golden blonde with black tips, and her bangs hung in front of her left eye. She blinked and spun around to look at herself, her high-tops clicking against the ground. Her cutie mark was Ouboros, the dragon that eats it's own tail. She sat on the ground, not able to think. We both try to think of what happened but the only thing we know is that we fell into a pit and we are here. We start hearing Miles and Bridget stir and we get ready to try to explain all we know. Miles awakes first with a shock seeing two pegasi near him. "Before you ask, I am Chase and she is still Sarah. We all transformed into ponies.....we are still thinking about why." I say to him before he starts asking who we are. He is just as confused and examines himself as well. He is a green earth pony with a notepad on his flank. Just like before, him and me are one in the same. Sarah just continued to sit there in shock, not responding to any of her friend's actions. Her eye twitched. “Ugh.....” I hear Bridget say, a relief to me because she finally awoke, and she does the exact same reaction as all of us before her. She is a midnight-blue unicorn with violet locks and a drawing board and colored pencils on her flank. Sarah sighs in relief, she is glad her best friend wasn't wounded in the fall. Her head is little foggy, but she is otherwise alright. “Alright guy/gals, listen. I have no idea how we got here or anything like that. We just need to focus on getting out of this forest first. When we get out of this forest, we will work on what to do afterwards.” I say to the group that has finally got focused. We follow a path in hopes we find Ponyville soon. We have problems walking on our hooves because normal human walking cease to even be the slightest of help here. We get ourselves steady, and after about half an hour in learning how to walk, we continue down the path. “I wonder if a pony will be at the end of this path” Miles says thinking about episode one of FiM. “I would bet a pretty penny there would be somebod-somepony coming just because of the average going of events in these situations.” I say, speaking logically about the matter. We finally see a light out in the close distance and we gallop towards it. We run into a familiar pink, bubbly pony(more like crash into, great entrances) who notices we are new. “Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie!” > Chapter 2: Introductions > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: Introductions Pinkie Pie says a bunch of incomprehensible stuff to us, probably about a party of sorts, and literally vanishes like like a ghost leaving us with our thoughts. We all decide to head into the town of Ponyville to meet ponies and meet Twilight, who is the favorite pony of the group. Unlike the rest of us, Sarah still hasn't entirely gotten her bearings together, but she still manages to follow us. We go into Ponyville finding it larger than the assumed size based off the show itself. We don’t have difficulty spotting a large tree in the middle of normal wood houses though. We knock on the door of Twilight Sparkle's library and she appears looking tired and blank from a project she was apparently doing. “Hello Ms.Sparkle, I hope we are not deterring you from an important project but we need to speak with you if you do not mind.” I say in a polite manner and Twilight allows us entrance to the library even though it is closed for the day. “What can I do for the four of you? I don’t think we have met have we?” Twilight asks rather confused as to how we know her name without meeting her. Sarah finally got her thoughts together, "Don't ask how we know you. It's hard to explain..." “Thanks Sarah, now she thinks we are a group of stalkers.” I say sarcastically. Sarah sighed, "Hey, it's Hasbros fault..." she mutters “Shush and let me politely introduce us Sarah! Geez, anyway Twilight I am Chase, the one that interrupted me is known by Sarah, the midnight-blue unicorn is Bridget, and the green earth pony is my best bud Miles.” I say. Twilight has woken up from her state of tiredness and utter confusion and is genuinely interested now. “We know you by ponies in town, that is the easy part. We are new to here as well....” I say and Twilight thinks I mean to Ponyville, and not just to Equestria itself. “Well then welcome to Ponyville! Where did you come from?” Twilight asks. "Uhhhh..." Sarah, as usual, doesn't know how to answer. At first she probably thought she had a good idea. “Y-yes, we are new to Ponyville. We come from Fillydelphia.” I lie because I don’t think saying we are an alien species will help us any right now. While we are talking more, Rainbow busts through a window, slamming right into Sarah, and almost stabbing me with glass. "Hey, watch where you're flying!" My dark pegasus friend screams. “Whoops.....hehehe, sorry about that. Are you new here? I have never seen you around here before.” Rainbow says. “They are from Fillydelphia, we were talking before you burst through my window. Didn’t I tell you before that there is a door?” Twilight asks annoyed. “Whatever, doors are 20% lamer...besides, a door and the window are the same principles anyway.” Rainbow says. She asks Twilight if any new Daring Do books are out and Miles screams, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO......oh wait THAT Daring Do.....” Miles quietly walks away. Sarah's ears flick, "What other Daring Do where you talking about?" she asks cautiously. “Uhh.....nothing. Something I told Chase about,” Miles says. “Aaaaanyway, I would like to just get a book and leave....” Rainbow is a bit afraid because of Miles doing what he did. Sarah also appears to be a bit disturbed. Twilight gives Rainbow the new Daring Doo book and she busts through another window which makes Twilight facehoof. “My apologies if we caused issues Ms.Sparkle.....we should go before another pony bur-” I never finish that sentence because Pinkie Pie makes the door fly open and she invites everypony to a party celebrating us being new to Ponyville. “Thank you Pinkie,” Bridget, who has been quiet up until now, says politely as we start heading to Sugar Cube Corner. Sarah and Bridget are eagerly looking for Derpy as they walk and me and Miles are looking for the infamous Doctor Whooves. We make it to SCC, Derpy and The Doctor are there so we greet them and I make sure Sarah knows to not act like she knows her. Sarah, of course, sticks her forked tongue out, and proceeds in hoofbumping Derpy. Bridget does the same before silently vowing to never wash that hoof again. Me and Miles get into a conversation with The Doctor and I am about to start talking about paradoxial events of a timeline when Pinkie Pie pops in and offers us cake. Sarah looks at it nervously, "This isn't Celestia's cake, is it?" she asks but we gladly accept it and realize we have no idea how to hold stuff with our hooves or use magic to pick stuff up. “Do you know anything about the illogical picking up of stuff with nothing to grasp it with?” I whisper to Sarah. Sarah holds her plate on the flat part of her hooves and nibbles on it, just looking at me blankly. “Alright then” I take the plate from Pinkie Pie and find that it is like a stimulant. When I bite into the cake it feels like every wonderful sweet item mixed together and dipped in heaven. Sarah starts to freak out, "This is DEFINITELY CELESTIA'S CAKE!" she whispers with paranoia. I roll my eyes and tell her there is nothing strange with this cake. She gives me a look, "Cake wouldn't taste this good if it weren't made for royalty!" she says to me and I simply say it does with Pinkie Pie makes it. “Complements to Madame Pinkie Pie!” I say delightfully out loud waving to the Pink host. “So, let’s go meet the mane 6. We might as well right?” Miles asks and I agree. Sarah looks at us, "Uh, guys, I don't think they're called that here..." “We know that, in our referencing they are six main figures-" "Blah, yeah, I know. Jussssst hold your tonguesssssss!" she whispers, a bit of dragon-like hissing coming about. We go to meet Rarity first since she is the first we spot. “Hello you four! Are you all having a good time? Pinkie Pie always wants to make the best parties possible for new ponies and friends.” Rarity says taking a bite out of cake. We all say we are having a splendid time and she tells us we should come by her boutique if we ever need anything made. She says she has to help Pinkie Pie with something and we depart to meet Fluttershy. “Hello, your name is Fluttershy correct?” I ask Fluttershy and she shies away causing Bridget to almost give a “dawww” from the cuteness, but Sarah stops her. “Y-yes....are you the 4....new ponies?” She asks and we nod our heads. We talk to her for a bit and offer to help her some time with her animals before going to meet Applejack, the final pony we have not met yet. We get to her and she recognizes we have a similar accent, just not full redneck. “Hay there! Y’all havin’ a good time?” Applejack asks and we once again say we are. “We are having a much better time since we have met some ponies in this place. We felt lost when we first got here.” I admit for us and Applejack nods and points us to Pinkie Pie who is about to end the party. We can’t believe we spent three hours there. We go to Pinkie Pie and we all have one final dance party before we depart ways. One thought pops in my head while we are leaving: Where are we going to sleep and eat? Sarah has an anxious look on her face, and is most likely having the same thoughts. We step outside, and I hope maybe the fresh air can better fuel our thinking. > Sarah's Journal Entry 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entry 1: Alright, so they say keeping a journal helps you keep your sanity. Let's see if it works. I am a Pegasister all the way, but a gal can only take so much. So, things haven't been too bad in Ponyville. The Mane 6 are very nice. We've found a place to crash and we're making a living with Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres. I keep having to tell Chase and Miles to not use certain terms. It's getting to be a pain in the tail to be honest. But I mean, they're hardcore Bronies, so I guess sometimes it slips. And Bridget...well... I have to keep her from spazzing out about Derpy. But, those are the LEAST of my concerns. First of all, what about our parents?! I'm sure they've lost their heads by now! I don't even remember the last time I've been home. I do kinda miss Dad. Alright, that's an understatement. I REALLY miss my Dad. And he probably thinks I'm dead. Or worse. Oh Celestia, let him be okay. Don't make him do anything he'll regret. And the rest of my family. My mom, brother, grandparents. I hope they don't miss me too much. Or at least, as much as I miss them. And what about an education? We're only teens! We still have many years of school ahead of us. Or at least, we did... Now what? We can't just STOP schooling! I mean, honestly. As much as I hate to admit it, we need school. Speaking of which, if we ever do go back, I can't begin to imagine the amount of work we'd be forced to catch up on. I would get SUMMERSCHOOL! Not to mention my perfect attendence record has been shattered. Oh well, I guess it couldn't last forever... Maybe the princesses could school us? Nah...we're just random kids from Fillydelphia. Or so they think. BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT! It would be no doubt an HONOR to meet the princesses. Especially Luna. She's my favorite. Her design, (coming from an ex-human Pegasister's point of view) her speech, her domain. I have personally been a night person. And I mean at night, you can see more of space! The stars, the other planets, Aurora Borealis, the list goes on. What do you see in the day? The sun, sky and clouds. That's it. I mean, doesn't that make Celestia look a bit...you know... Greedy? I don't know. I can't say anything bad against her. Mostly because she scares the crap out of me, but also because she always had good intentions. At least, we're led to believe so... The Crystal Empire doesn't sound like a bad place to visit, either. Cadence sounds like a very nice pony, and Shining Armor sounds like a guy everyone likes. I just hope Sombra doesn't show up. Chase is constantly telling me he's dead, but I refuse to believe him. He seems like the guy who would make a comeback. My friends don't seem to be scare of him. Maybe it was because of Hasbro's FAIL job at giving him a backstory. He could be such a better villain if he had more ELABORATION! I mean, how did he get his hooves on the Alicorn Amulet anyway? What was he like before so? There's so much I would like to know. Alright, there's also more I'm eager to come across. I want to meet some dragons! They obviously exist here. I mean, we have Spike, and the dragon from Dragonshy. My cutie mark IS a dragon eye after all. Maybe they'll get along with me! I mean, I would definitely get along with a dragon! They are such majestic beasts who get a bad rap. I'm glad there's the movie Dragonheart and the Inheritance Cycle book series that make them look good. They don't deserve to be killed off by knights. I mean, dragons only attacked if they are provoked. I'm pretty sure I would be provoked if a guy in bright, flashy armor and a long sword wanted to kill me. I wonder how they're treated here... If they are mistreated, you can trust I'll be fighting for dragon's rights. Also, what do these guys do for entertainment!? They have no IPads, iPods, or any methods of listening music other than radios. And then the music, well...it's not even that great >.> I miss my Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown, Sugarland and everything else I had loaded onto my iPad. Maybe I can get it back somehow. Maybe they'll have one of those appearifiers here like they do in Homestuck! Which reminds me, I haven't been able to read it in ages. It makes me lose my mind, but to them, I guess you can't miss what you've never had. They have no idea what they're missing in the human world. The decent music, the millions of adoring fans. Yeah well, maybe they SHOULDN'T meet the fans. Especially those who pair the Mane 6 with each other. That would creep them out as much as does to me. I shouldn't be mentioning this, but I only ship Lunbra (Young LunaxYoung Sombra) and Celestiacord. DONT TELL THE PRINCESSES PLEASE THEYLL SEND ME TO THE MOON OR WORSE! But that's ALL I support. I mean it. Not of that ridiculous Rarijack, Twidash or the other crack ships. Just. No. Alright, I'm kinda just rambling now...Anyway, I think I hear my friend's calling. I guess I'm going to have to see what they want... > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The four ponies from the land of Earth walk down the streets of town when they see a large group of ponies standing looking at the sky. They join in and saw a streak of rainbow crossing the sky towards the ground and identify her as Rainbow Dash. "That's awfully fast for a pegasus...." Chase says looking closer. "I agree....it seems rather dangerous guys....." Bridget says a bit scared of what's to come. They see Rainbow Dash turning into a rainbow and immediately yelling, "DUCK AND COVER!" as they did so. *BOOM* A double rainboom splits the sky and causes a force of an atomic bomb. The blast demolishes ponyville and leaves four dead ponies on the ground that were killed by the rubble that came from the blast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "As you all know, we are here because of the death of 4 ponies. They moved to this town, and were unfairly cut short of life by the double rainboom," Twilight says addressing the ponies gathered at the still-destroyed funeral area. Each pony pays their respects though none truly met the four ponies. One pony remains hidden, the rainbow-maned pegasus that caused the destruction. Ponies start getting the bodies ready to be buried when Rainbow Dash comes out of the hidden place in the crowd to come to the bodies. "I have some words to say..." Rainbow says as she holds back tears. "I only spoke to you guys once.....I wish I could've known you better and that I never did that double rainboom..." Rainbow can't hold back any emotion anymore even though that is very unlike her. "I was selfish. I stole from Twilight and, in the end, all I caused was death and destruction....I'm so sorry...." Rainbow stops and goes back to the crowd to watch the burying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Epilogue: Bridget, Chase, Miles, and Sarah's parents searched for years but never found a trace of their lost children. Earth is under crisis as a situation similar appears in every country of the globe. The death/dissapearence of these people/ponies may have led to more than one would have though > Chapter 3: Unexpected Invites > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chase wakes up and gets off the couch he slept on during the night. Since there were only two beds and disagreements came up he offered to sleep on the couch. Sarah, of course, was sleeping soundly on one of the beds, cuddling her journal. Not surprising. She was relentless, and would've have continued on and on until she got her way. Bridget took the other bed while Miles took the floor. Chase goes out to check the mail and waiting in there is a letter from Twilight reminding us of an upcoming event in Canterlot, the gala. He is first compelled to throw it in the trash but then notices that there are four tickets in there for all four of them. He then goes inside and finds the rest are waking up from their joyous slumber. “Good morning everyon-everypony!” Chase says as he shows what was in the mail. Sarah groans when she sees that the letter is about The Gala and Chase notices this. “Hey, I am not too fond of these types of events either, but for some reason Twilight sent us four tickets to go and I do not plan on being rude,” he says to Sarah making her quiet down a bit. He reads the letter and it says that Rarity will make us all clothing for the gala. He then proceeds to dodge Sarah trying to slap him about a dress. “Can’t you cooperate Sarah? It is one night and it might be fun,” Bridget says actually rather excitedly. Miles is pretty neutral about it and after persuasion to Sarah they proceed to Rarity’s boutique. "I'm not going out in public if my dress is too girly and lacks dragons." Sarah snorts, still not exactly excited about the gala. Bridget snorts and rolls her eyes and Chase face-hoofs. Miles uncharacteristically blurts, "Sarah, what is it with you and dragons?!" He then gets slapped by Sarah. “You know hooves hurt worse than hands don’t you?!” Miles says holding his hoof up as Chase knocks on the door to the boutique. He then realizes that it is a public business and they just go into it. "Nice job, Chase..." Sarah mumbles under her breath as they wait for Rarity to speed along to the front counter. Rarity appears and they show her the letter that apparently gets them a free dress/suit/whatever. "Woohoo." Sarah says non-enthusiastically as Rarity starts measuring for the clothing. “Why, you sound just like Rainbow darling,” Rarity says. Sarah just sighed and rolled her eyes, grumbling things under her breath. “Hmph. Well then,” Rarity says a bit annoyed as she finishes and measures the rest of them. She says to return that afternoon and they should all be ready. Sarah quickly exits the boutique before any ideas of mane styling or makeup applying could be brought up. “You didn’t have to be so rude Sarah, she doesn’t have to help us you know,” Miles says to Sarah as they all just walk around town. Sarah looked at Miles, "Well I wasn't trying to be rude! You see, none of these ponies understand me, and they probably never will..." Sarah takes a deep breath and falls behind the rest of the group. “Well let’s see, we are creatures from a universe completely opposite of this one with governments and anatomy much different from these ponies. They won’t understand any of us and almost can’t understand us because of this. Therefore, that is true but general,” Chase says factually. They see Sugar Cube Corner and then realize they are hungry so they start heading to there. Sarah snorted and muttered quietly, "That's not what I meant..." she spoke as her friends entered the shop, "Hey, guys, I...I'll be there in a minute..." she said, turning her head towards the forest. Chase had pointed out his concern for her over her cutie mark. Ponies and dragons never really got along. He was concerned she would become a social outcast if they found she was associated with them. But that wasn't all she was thinking about. She wasn't all 'happy happy joy joy' like the others. She also missed her home. How was she going to tolerate this? Her friends didn't seem too concerned about getting home. They probably considered this place their home now. “Would you like to hear the specials?” The waiter asked the 4 friends. “Sure,” Chase said looking at the menu with a questioning look. “For a mere 50 bits it is an all-you-can-eat meal of hay fries with drinks!” Pinkie Pie says. They didn’t understand when they started making something other than sweets and realized that they must be in a somewhat-future version of Equestria. It didn’t seem to faze them though. “That sounds good to me, what about all of you?” Chase asked the rest of his friends. “Fine with me.......but......what ARE ‘hay’ fries?” Bridget said questioningly. “Pretty sure they are just their form of French Fries,” Miles said as he agreed to get it as well. “Sure, let’s get the food that we have no prior knowledge about,” Sarah said sarcastically. “Uhh......okay so the hay fries all-you-can eat special with what to drink?” Pinkie Pie asks. “...soft cider?” Chase said which made Sarah eye him. “Since when are you interested in alcohol?” Sarah said to him. “What else do they have on this bloody planet? Besides, by equine standards we can have this stuff anyway!” Chase said to her making her sigh as there was no point in arguing now. “You know, I’ll take what my Pal Chase is getting Pinkie Pie,” Miles said. “Get me something a little bit stronger than what they are getting,” Bridget said smirking. “Fine, soft cider so I don’t have to hear it. I’m not the one paying though,” Sarah spat. Pinkie Pie was unfazed by the rudeness and went to give the order. It didn’t take long, as SCC was fairly empty. “Hay fries, soft ciders for the two guys, one for the girl, and hard cider for you,” she says to Bridget. “Hurray!” Bridget said looking at it excitedly. “Who wants to bet money that she is going to get drunk in about 5 minutes?” Chase asked and Miles joins in the bet while Sarah simply facepalms. >(-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<) “Weeeeeooooooooooooo!!” Bridget yells drunkenly as Chase carries her alongside the others to the house. “I knew hard cider was a bad idea,” Sarah says in a matter-of-fact tone. “How could I have guessed she would flip a table and start terrorizing the ponies there?” Chase asked. “Probably because WE AREN’T EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO DRINK THAT STUFF!” Sarah screams at me. “Whatever, it was still fun and filling. Can one of you carry Bridget? I need to go pick-up our clothes for the Gala,” Chase says and Sarah takes the job with the help of Miles. Chase walks through town to the boutique to pick up the clothes, but when he arrives he finds the boutique in a mess. Needles, thread, cloth...EVERYWHERE! Rarity is running around, frantic and frustrated. Chase goes inside the boutique grabbing the attention of the frustrated mare. “Ugh....I mean, uhh welcome to the....boutique!” Rarity says to Chase quickly remembering why he was there anyway. “Is everything alright Miss Rarity? You don’t seem quite like yourself right now,” Chase asks which makes Rarity pretty much be honest. “Nothing is quite going like I want it for some reason, it’s normally easy you know so I don’t see why I can’t.......I don’t know if you know anything about dress-making, given your cutie mark, but could you help me out?” Rarity asks. “Well you’re correct, but sure I’ll try to help the best I can,” Chase says. After a good 2 hours they finish the remainders of the clothing. “I must thank you, please just take these on the house for the major delay. You probably worked the amount that I would require anyway,” Rarity says. Chase says his thanks and then goes to return to the house. The problem is, when he arrives he hears a bunch of noise coming from inside. “What’re y’al-,” Chase stopped as he stood in the doorway of a destroyed house and a now passed-out Bridget. “That could’ve gone better,” Miles says as he comes out from behind an overturned couch. “Oh, you think?!” Sarah says angrily. Chase just stands in the doorway, laughing his head off. “Why are you laughing?” Sarah asks angrily. “Because this is funniest bloody thing I’ve ever seen,” Chase says, then proceeds to help fix the overturned house. > Chapter 4: The Gala Incident > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4: The Gala Incident After fixing up the house alongside the others and giving each of his friends their respective clothing for the Gala, Chase stepped out of the house again to ponder over some things that is bothering him. As fate decides, this is the time an obvious coming of an obvious clue comes and he sees The Doctor and Ditzy doing something urgent across the way. “Chase, are you alright? You seem to be....bothered,” Miles questioned as he stepped out as well. “Well, you never fail to notice the obvious. Just like I don’t. Something was going on with Rarity, she seemed to forget everything about what she was doing when I arrived,” Chase explains to Miles which makes him start pondering as well. “Do you think something is going to happen at The Gala?” Miles asked worringly. “Yep, and as The Doctor says, allon-sy!” Chase said smirking even though understanding a probable threat. The four friends, after finally getting ready and getting Bridget back on her game, proceeded to Canterlot by hopping onto a train from Ponyville. “Alright, one thing I’m going to say and one thing alone. Nobody, and I repeat NO-BODY is to wonder off tonight. Understood?” Chase asked seriously and everyone there nodded. “Good, now then we’ll be arriving in ten minutes and there’s some cider here, anyone up for another roun-” Chase gets hit hard by Sarah and Bridget making him wince in pain a bit every few seconds. “Geez, just like on Earth you cannot take a joke very well, besides the cider was good. It was only the hard cider,” Chase says matter-of-factly as the train arrives in Canterlot. Everypony in the train steps out, and as fate decides it the group gets separated. As fate also dictates, the two of both groups that work well together separate, leaving Chase with Sarah and Miles with Bridget. “Perfect, absolutely wonderful. This is not going to end well,” Chase says groaning. “Why did you want us to stay together anyway? Is there something that happened?” Sarah questions him. “Just that Rarity forgot everything she knows about dress-making and stuff while acting strange. Then of course seeing The Doctor and Ditzy urgently doing stuff strangely around the base location,” Chase says sarcastically. “So.....you think we’re bucked unless we get grouped together again?” Sarah asks. “Percisely,” Chase says. The duo starts to go, attempting to find their friends, unknown to them they’re being watched. >(-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<) The other two happen to have ended up in the Canterlot Gardens and are now pondering where to try to search. “So Miles....what was Chase meaning by that we should all stay together? What for?” Bridget asked very concerned. “Well......Chase could explain this better but something happened involving Rarity while he was there. Something is happening and he believes it is going to happen here whatever is being planned,” Miles explains to the best of his ability while Bridget becomes wide-eyed. “W-what should we do then? If we could just figure out where they would be.......heck even if we could find Derpy, and don’t look at me like that, if we could find her or the “Doctor” then we could probably link a finding to them. More than likely they would be finding them as well,” Bridget says. Miles agrees and they decide to search the concert hall. Bridget feels like somepony is watching them but she can’t find who it is. The second duo continues to the concert hall, searching for any signs of their friends or Doctor/Derpy. Instead of finding them there, they encounter Colgate. “Hello, yes you two, are you perhaps Miles and Bridget?” Colgate asks. “Yes we are,” Miles said to her. Colgate sighed in relief, as if she was searching for them for a while. “Well, as you know my name’s Colgate. Known by minuette in a few cases. I have been sent to find you two, and to tell you simply to go to the main throne room,” Colgate says. Miles and Bridget were confused and started to ask something but she stops them. “Nothing more, got to run. Remember, main throne room,” Colgate finishes and leaves, post-haste. They decide it’s their best option and go to the throne room, upon arriving they encounter Doctor/Derpy as well as the princesses. They see Sarah and Miles galloping in soon after, having a similar encounter with Colgate. “Doctor, these are the four was-humans you were telling about?” Celestia asked The Doctor. “Yes, I would much like this room to remain locked and guarded throughout this conversation further. It’s to make sure nothing.....comes in,” The Doctor says and the princess of the sun orders her guards to lock this area down and guard it. “Hello, and welcome to Canterlot young ponies.” Celestia welcomed.”What may your names be?” Chase was the one to pipe up.”I am Chase, the pegasus next to me is Sarah, the midnight night blue unicorn is Bridget, and the green earth pony is Miles.” Sarah was discreetly looking around for Luna. Evening was approaching, her arrival was sure to come. Luna suddenly burst in the doors, “SISTER WE ARE TROUBLED BY NEW APPEARANCES IN EQUESTRIA!” Luna bellowed. Sarah’s eye twitched, “L-Luna...guysitsLunaholycrapwhatdoIdoHALP!” “Here is what you should do, shut up and focus on the forces trying to bloody kill us,” Chase responded. Sarah narrowed her eyes, “I. Can’t. Do. That. Chase. ItsfreakingPrincessLuna!” “Yes, yes it is,” Chase coughs “Octavia is best pony,” he coughs again. “Just shut up and focus on the forces trying to bloody kill us.” Sarah said in a mocking tone. “...excuse me all of you, but if we can focus on the situation,” The Doctor said. “Shiza. Didn’t know he was listening...” Sarah replied to her friends. “They are standing RIGHT THERE!” Chase pointed to the ponies about 4 hoofsteps away. “I was whispering!” Sarah whisper/yelled, “Oh wait, they aren’t half deaf like I am” The Doctor finally gets us silenced so that he may speak, “Now then, what I have been able to come up with is that the universe is catching up with the fact you were never actually born in this universe or ever had any prior relevance to this land thus you should be removed from it to stop a paradox from forming. The way to stop it is to lea-” “Kiss my plot! We’re fricking bronies! If we bug Hasbro enough they make things canon!” Sarah spat, dragon optics blazing. “...dm-dangit Sarah! Why the bloody hell would you freaking say that?!” Chase said facehoofing. “I did always wonder about this place, the equine anatomy was entirely off,” The Doctor said. “What are you guys even talking about!” Bridget said throwing her hoofs in the air. “That’s a separate discussion for another time I believe,” Celestia said having not said anything and growing a tad annoyed. “Sister, we want to know what they’re-” Luna said before The Doctor interrupted her. “-I’ve been through Daleks, Cyberponies, and weeping pegasi. I honestly believe you all are more difficult than all of those forces combined together trapped inside the Pandorica!” The Doctor said angrily. Celestia huffed, “I am not one to lose my patience, but may we please return to the more important topic here.” Luna nodded in stern agreement. “I am not sure what is going on here sarah. Please help me out with what the heck is going out here!” Bridget whispered to sarah, spacing in and out. “Jus’ shut up and listen,” Sarah said irritably. “Ok, but it is not very nice to say shut up!” Bridget said with a pout. “OH MY FL- just listen,” Sarah said, shooting her best friend a dragon-eyed death glare. “W-Weh!” Bridget said sticking her tongue out at Sarah. Bridget turned to hear what the princesses were saying. “Alright, Doctor and “homosapiens”, please tell what this has to do with my kingdom and this land before I personally get the guards to throw you out of here,” Celestia said firmly while Luna shifts a tad uncomfortably beside her. “Well then I shall explain swiftly then, even though my dear Luna wouldn’t exactly allow you to simply throw us out before I explained,” The Doctor starts, making Celestia question what he means. “Luna, do you know more then you’re portraying to?” Celestia inquired, normally not blaming her sister, but her mood had been soured by insane, bickering children. “Well, what we will say on the matter is simply that he is inquiring that if a paradox is created the entirety of space and time will collapse. To put it in your terms dear sister of mine, we would all die and Equestria nor anywhere else will have ever existed,” Luna said, stealing The Doctor’s time to explain stuff. Celestia tensed up, “How in the name of Discord will we stop this?!” she asked, eyes wide. Sarah raised her hoof, “I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT AS WELL!” she said, stealing Luna’s Royal Canterlot voice. “Well.....if you remember the portal closed the moment we all came through it. I assume that the portal was actually a rift and us going through it made the rift close itself. If we can get it open tempor-” Miles started to say before The Doctor cut him off. “If we open a rift again it will cause a lot more problems than solutions.....however you are partially correct. There was a rift I picked up a while back that closed right after it opened, I didn’t however suspect that you 4 were the cause of it though. To get you back there, we don’t need to open the rift at all. What we need to do is make a small one ourselves,” The Doctor says with only him, Chase, and Miles actually understanding the logic. “But you just said opening a rift would cause more problems...” Sarah said, confuzzled. “I get it, opening the rift that lead us through was a natural one thus reopening it would lead to the problem. If we constructed our own nothing could slide through unless we made it slide through,” Chase said to try to make them understand. Sarah was still failing to comprehend all of this, and was getting flustered. Her draconic optics practically glowed with anger, “Screw your time-wimey, allon-sy crap and just get us home before we all get blown into oblivion!” The Doctor narrowed his eyes at Sarah, “Fine then, let us begin...” > A finisher never wanted > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a long and boring series of events, this happened! "BLOODY HELL BLOODY HELL AHH!" Chase screams as they go through the constructed rift. "Just shut up Chase. I never wanted us to even do this," Sarah says irritably. "Do what?" Chase asks, fairly confused. "Just this in general. We write about all of this according to a voice in my head, and we lost all our priority into it leaving our fans inside of the dark for far too long. I really wish things could've been different," Sarah says, sighing after she states such. "Agreed!" The rest of the groups states. "We all wish it would've been different. But for now, it's back to school and back to our hell of a world," Chase says, saddened. "Will the rest of our story ever be told?" Bridget asks. "Maybe. For now, say goodbye to our favoriters and followers!" Chase says. "Bye! Thanks for the support!" "Adios! Thanks for the compliments!" "Where's the doctor again? Oh right, bye!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Then they were silenced from our communicative process. Thanks for everything guys, and I think this was a good learning experience for a little while. If you want to know more about where I've landed, go to www.ponykart.org and find Ravensteam. See you around!"
