"When will thou arrive?" Luna shouted in impatience. They already created a portal to another world, a difficult task to do.

"Do not dread, my dear sister."

"But what about though prophecy? We are growing impatient!"

"Sister, the prophecy is a mysterious entity. What it tells us is always correct. He will come when he is needed."

"That might be for another thousand years! That alicorn must-"

"He is a pegasus now."

The video was done. Fans will love me! They'll be like, 'Your the best review in the history of YouTube!'. Well, that won't happen. They'll probably say, 'Your a fag.' or something. And I'll probably get like 10 views in a month. But, hey, it's not like the other video that got me hate mail filled in the mailbox on youtube. I got up and walked to my room. Messy as usual, with legos everywhere. I jumped in my bed and fell asleep. Tomorrow, I thought, I would finally have a real adventure with the Doctor. My eyes slowly closed. I drifted off to sleep.


I heard a boom outside. A image stuck in my head. Some color coated ponies from MLP: FIM, a show I like. I didn't know why. The alarms ran off.

"Connor!" My mom screamed. "What the f*** did you do!?!"

"I didn't do anything!" I said to mom. I ran downstairs to see my mom and my annoying brother stare at a blue portal.

"Equestria." I said, looking at the town, with the ponies, unicorns, and pegasi roaming around.

"Oh boy, it's you pony sh**!" my brother said.

"Oh, crap. The portal is sucking me in!" The portal dragged me out of my living room into the portal. I looked behind me and the portal is now closed. I felt something hug me. I looked down to see a brown skinned filly with pink hair.

"Yah came. I knew yah would come." Babs said.

"I know, Babs Seed. I know." I said, hugging her back.

Chapter 2: the meeting

I entered the giant throne room. Guards were everywhere. I thought I couldn't get private time with Celestia, but as soon as I entered Celestia told the guards to go. They left.

"You must be the element of Time." Celestia said.

"Eeyup." I said.

"Has Babs Seed told you anything about ponyville?"

"No. I know enough."

"Lets find out." Celestia had an evil looking grin. "Who are the elements of harmony and what do they represent.

"Rainbow dash with loyalty. Fluttershy with kindness. Applejack with honesty. Rarity with generosity. Pinkie pie with laughter. Twilight Sparkle with Magic. And me, WindWaker, with Time."

"You know well." Luna said. "How do you know this stuff if babs didn't tell you this?"

I thought about it for a minute. If I told them this was just a fiction show made by Hasbro, paradoxes would occur. I had to lie, but I did have one true reason.

"I have been here before in dreams with Babs seed." I finally said.

"Well, that's interesting." Celestia said.

"Would you like to see the Elements of harmony?" Luna said. "Well, particularly your element."

"I guess so." I nodded.

"They are in Twilight Sparkle's house. You can go there and find her and she will give you the Elements of Harmony, well, the Element of Time. Do you know how to get there? Do you know what her house looks like?" Luna said

"Yes." I said.

"Very good. Dismissed." Celestia said.

I walked out of there. Babs waiting for me.

"How did it go?" She asked.

"Pretty good." I replied

"You know, I don't have a problem with Celestia or Luna." Babs said. "I've met them several times. Anyway, I didn't know this would happen. You getting the seventh element and all."

"Yeah. We are here." I said. We saw a giant tree with windows and a door.

"I think this is up to you. I need to see apple bloom.' Babs said. She hugged me and left. I knocked the door.

"The doors open." A female voice said.

"Oh, boy, is it the element of time, Twilight?" A male voice said. Spike.

"Yes, spike, it is." I said as I opened the door.

"And he knows our name, twilight!" The baby dragon said. "I'm spike. You already know that." He held his hand to me.

"Windwaker." I said. I shook his hand.

Then, I saw her. One of the most beautiful mares I've seen in equestria.

Twilight sparkle

Sparkle sparkle sparkle!

Alright, let me tell one thing. When I watched My Little Pony, I didn't like Twilight sparkle. But I started watching more episodes, I grew to her, and she became my second favorite. But when I saw her in person, she was so beautiful.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight introduced herself. I said nothing. My widened eyes were staring at her. I snapped out of it.

"Windwaker." I said. We shook hooves and hands

"You must be the Element of Time." Twilight said.

"Eeyup. That's me." I replied. "I was sent here to get it from you."

"Follow me." Twilight said. She went to a bookcase and opened a secret panel. It had a dusty necklace.

"When I got the Elements of Harmony, I found an extra one. I put it in a bookcase so that people wouldn't find it. But, now I know why it was here in the first place. It wasn't because of a mistake, it was because of you!" Twilight said to me. She gave me the Element of time, a necklace with a blue pocketwatch as a pendant. "Do you want something to drink? I have green tea, water soda, anything?"

"Lemonade would be nice." I said. Twilight got out some lemonade and gave it to me.

"I've never seen an actual human before. Only in myths and legends." Twilight said.

"I'm still a human?" I asked. I looked at myself. My gray vans shoes, my jeans, my nes shirt, and my hat. My black fedora.

"I thought I was going to be a pony when I got in the portal!" I added.

"So do I. I heard you were going to be an alicorn like me." Twilight said. She showed her wings and put them back. "Aren't you going to wear the element of time to try it out?"

"I guess." I said to Twilight. I put it on, and it started to glow. A beam of light came out of my Element and hit a window, which reflected at me. (Cartoon physics, I guess). The beam created a forcefield that surrounds me. My eyes glowed, and everything went to white. Then black...



"WINDWAKER!" A booming voice said to me. I opened my eyes to see myself with my eyes glowing. "YOU ARE THE ELEMENT OF TIME! YOU WILL BE AN ALICORN!"

"W-why?" I said.

"THE UNKNOWN PROPHET PREDICTED IT! YOU WILL RETURN TO YOUR NORMAL SELF!"



My eyes opened weakly. I saw a bunch of ponies looking at me. 3 to be exact.

"Look! He's waking up!" The yellow Pegasus said.

"Well, no crap, Fluttershy!" The white unicorn said.

"Ok. Let the Pegasus get some room!" A blue Pegasus said.

"P-Pegasus?" I muttered weakly. I got up put of the couch and moved my red wings. "I guess I am a Pegasus." I looked around me. "You ponies must be Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy!"

"That's us!" Rainbow dash says. "You must be WindWaker, the element of time!"

"That's me." I replied. I hoofbumped Rainbow Dash.

"Well, he's ok!" Fluttershy said. "Let him rest." They left the room and the house. Spike came in.

"Um, Twilight asked if you wanted to stay the night." Spike said.

"Sure, I guess. I have nowhere else to go." I said. I laid down on the bed, closed my eyes and rested.





"You alright?" Twilight asked next to be. I opened my eyes. She was in bed, reading a book.

"Y-yeah." I said. I got up. "You have a very nice library."

"Thanks. I collect books and put it here. You a fan of books?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"You can pick out a book, if you like." Twilight said.

"That's ok. I'm good. What time is it?"

"8:35." Twilight checked.

"Thanks." I scooted closer to her. "Your very kind to me."

"Thanks. You ARE an element, and elements are supposed to treat Eachother well." Twilight said. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure." I replied.

"Are you interested in any of the mares in Ponyville?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah. Only one." I replied.

"And who is that?"

"You." I said.

"Really?" Twilight asked, scooting closer to me.

"Yeah. You really beautiful." I said.

"Thanks." Twilight said. She kissed me on the cheek. We both blushed. "You sure you don't want a book to read?"

"I'm good." I said.

Finally, I thought. Time to make my move! I leaned in and passionately kissed twilight. Her eyes widened, but closed it soon afterwards. The kiss was so warm and welcoming, I didn't want to let go. But, I let go.

"Your a really good kisser." Twilight said.

"You too." I said to Twilight. "I've never kissed a mare before."

"Me neither." Twilight said. We kissed together. We slept happily together that night. I was in heaven.

Dash away!

Rain was pouring outside. It was so loud, I could hear the rain from where I was sleeping. That rain made me slowly wake up. I opened my eyes and got up. Simmering noises rang in my ears, as the smell of fresh pancake was being cooked in a frying pan. I looked next to me to see no one.

I guess Twilight was awake, I thought. I got up and went to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror to see the red coated me. I used the bathroom and went downstairs. I followed the smell of the pancakes (mmmmm. Pancakes. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.) to the kitchen, where Spike was making it.

"G'morning Spike. Where's twilight?" I said to Spike, who was on a stool making the pancake batter.

"She's at Canterlot, meeting up with the rest of the elements, except Rainbow Dash." Spike said, mixing the batter. "Twilight told me Rainbow Dash wanted to race with you."

"In this weather? No thanks." I replied.

"The pegasi are stopping the rain any minute. Not because of Dash, but because it rained all night last night." Conveniently, the rain stopped.

"Well, see ya!" I ran out of the house. I saw a good look at the town, the town hall, Raritys boutique, Cloudsdales rainbow factory, Sugarcube corner, just to name a few. Then, I saw it. A trail of rainbow flew next to me. It flew off to Celestia knows where, so I decided I should follow it. I raced after the colored trail to see a familiar blue Pegasus.

"You ready?" Rainbow dash asked.

"You bet I am." I replied.

"First one to Crystal empire wins!"

"You're on!" And I was right. Rainbow soared past me. I flew right where Rainbow Dash was. The sun was beating down on us, so it was hard flying because it was so hot! Rainbow was going further than me. I caught up with her, so we were at the same speed. The wind was blowing in our hair. We could see everywhere in Equestria. Then, we saw the blue crystal castle with the crystal heart in the center. We rushed to get to the top of the castle. Rainbow Dash and I were inching towards the top. Rainbow soared past me and won.

"Ha ha! I told you I could beat you!" Rainbow dash said. "But you did a good job for your first flight with those wings!"

"Thanks." I said with my head down.

"Cheer up, Wind! I want to show you something awesome!" Rainbow dash flew up. "Come on! What are you waiting for, Hearths Warming Eve?" I flew up with Rainbow Dash. She showed me around the Crystal Empire, from the town, to the crystal castle. She also showed me the Crystal Heart! "I wanted you to meet some ponies that I know, but they are away for now! But I'll let you meet them!"

"Who are they?" I asked Rainbow Dash.

"Twilight's brother, Shining Armor, and his wife, Princess Cadence!" Rainbow Dash said. We sent the rest of the day just flying around Equestria, talking about what I did with Babs before in my dreams. "How do you even contact Babs in your dreams? Is it a spell?"

"Well, one night I had a dream that I was here, and Babs found me. We had this special sibling bond, even though we are not siblings."

"Just like me and my filly friend Scootaloo!"

"Eeyup. Like that!" After we talked for a while, it started to get dark.

"So, where are you going to sleep at?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Twilight's place." I replied.

"Oh, that tree that has a library in it! You do know Twilight's kind of an Egghead, right?"

"Yeah, but an attractive one at that!" We flew to the front door of Twilight's house.

"So, which pony are you going to hang out with tomorrow?" Rainbow dash asked.

"Maybe Fluttershy." I replied.

"Yeah. Fluttershy's a good friend. You'll like her. Well, good night!" Rainbow dash hugged me as she ran off. I went inside Twilght's library tree, just in time for dinner.

Authors note: the explanation

View Online

THIS NOTE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS!

Ok! I have been getting a lot of comments saying "I don't like the relationship between Wind and Twilight because their relationship was created in 2 seconds" and "Why would you promote your YouTube channel in such a halfassed way." And "this is one of the most cliched FanFics on the planet." And, the most posted "Your character has no flaws, so he is automatically a Gary Stu!"

Let me cover up a few things.

One: Wind is not a Gary Stu. He DOES have flaws. And I am aware that nopony can keep up with Rainbow Dash on their first flight. This WAS NOT Winds first flight. He trained in Ponyville with Babs. Which brings me to my second thing.

Two: How the buck can Connor, which yes, that is my name, (it's so stupid. I'm changing my name to Abel.) dream of going to Ponyville? It is just impossible. Have you ever heard of magic? Sometimes, things don't need to explain.

Third: The Element of Time is just an excuse of being with the Mane 6. This is completely FALSE! And, SPOILERS; he is not the Element of Time. Moving on, or else I will spoil the whole story.

Fourth: How the buck did Wind know he was the Element of Time? This is probably one of the only legit comments that I made a mistake on. I don't know.

Fifth: How does the Element of Time fit in with Friendship? This will be explained in a later chapter.

And finally, Sixth: Why did you make this? Was this just to be famous? The obvious answer is NO. I love writing fanfics, and I just wanted to write a good story. But, that failed completely.

Hope this covers up the problems.

I wonder what's for dinner.

View Online

I opened the door to smell food coming from the kitchen. I saw the library surrounded with books neatly organized and in alphabetical order, what Twilight would usually do. Twilight got out of the kitchen, levitating 3 plates of rice with her horn. She set them down on the wooden table, and noticed me standing there.

"You hungry?" Twilight asked me.

"Yeah, kind of." I replied.

"Well, dinner is ready!" Twilight turned her head behind her. "Spike! Dinner is ready!" I heard footsteps coming from upstairs.

"Oh boy!" Spike called out as he sat down. "What are we having for dinner?"

"Rice." Twilight said. Spike looked confused.

"Wait, rice? That wasn't on your schedule."

"Well, it is now!" Twilight said. She sat down and began to eat her rice.

I was confused also. Twilight always follows her schedule in the show. This is a big change for Twilight. Something is amiss. Something I don't know about. Does this happen in season 4. Well, season for wasn't out yet, so I didn't know what was going on. I took a spoonful of my rice and ate it.

"So." I said to Twilight. "I realized this "relationship" we have came out of complete nowhere, so I want to ask you a few things and just talk to make our relationship stand somewhere."

"Oh, ok!" Twilight replied. "What do you want to ask me?"

"Well, what is your interests?" I already know what Twilights interests are, but I just want to hear her say it.

"Well, I like to read books, and I like to hang out with my friends, and I especially love learning! I always crave learning new things. It just gives me a good feeling! What are you interests?"

I thought about it for a moment, then finally said, "Well, I like reviewing movies, and watch My Little-" I stopped before I could say the whole thing.

Paradoxes, you idiot, I thought. If I told them, paradoxes would become real and destroy the fabric of space and time

"My Little what?" Twilight asked. I was totally screwed. I tired to think of the most insane bullcrap I could ever say.

"My Little Human!" I finally said. I almost facehoofed.

"Oh, I love My Little Human!" Twilight said. My heart sank. How the buck could she know what My Little Human was? "I have some of the toys! I have Alex, Joey, Gavin, and Connor!" My heart stopped. Those were the names of my friends. And myself.

Connor.

Connor.

Connor.

"Who is your favorite character?" Twilight asked.

"Joey." I replied.

Joey was my best friend. He was autistic. Well, more like Asperger's Syndrome. He didn't really like My Little Pony. He liked Pokemon. He liked Pokemon as much as I liked MLP. And hearing his name reminds me of home.

"I think I'm done." I said. Twilight picked up the plates. Then, I saw the best thing any Brony could see. Plot.

Twilight's plot was so gorgeous. Her plot was the best looking plot in the whole series! Then, I had a wingboner. And nopony wants to be seen with a wingboner. Twilight notices me staring at her plot.

"You like what you see?" Twilight asked me. You can have it tonight, if you want." Twilight would never do this in the show. But, who cares? My greatest dream is going to come true: To have an intimate night with Twilight Sparkle, the most beautiful pony in Ponyville!

After a few minutes, Twilight comes out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and sits next to me.

"Are you good at academics?" She asks.

"No. I only get As and Bs. My brother, on the other hand, gets straight As. My brother is the smarter kid." I reply to Twilght.

"Isn't the older kid, which I presume is your brother, the smarter one by default?"

"Yeah, I guess so." I reply. Twilight walks upstairs to her bedroom.

"Come in my bed when your ready!" Twilght said with her half lidded eyes. She walked into her bedroom.

"Your lucky you can be intimate with her!" Spike said. "She is a good looking mare!" Spike walked to his bed, and got in it, falling asleep. I walked upstairs and went inside Twilight's room, about to have the night of my life.
