It was a rather cloudy day as GOF forum member f-22 was on his computer listen to music from My Little Pony Frinedship is Magic in his room. "O pinke pie you are so random." he said watching episode 21 as he reached over to grab a can of canada dry ginger ale when his computer started to emit a dull green color. As he checked his screen he felt some force pulling him toward the screen. "What is going on?" he asked himself in panic as he was sucked through the screen.
-
Kor was watching an episode of my little pony: friendship is magic. An episode he had seen before. While he was watching the episode the monitor seemed to put out more light then normal and as he closed his eyes and shielded them with his hands he felt a sort of jerk or a fall. Or perhaps a mix of that and the world spinning.
-
When he came to f-22 was in a forest. As he stood up he realised he was standing on four legs. "What?" he asked himself as he checked himself over he was now a light grey color. There was a pair of wings on his back and looking at his feet he saw hooves. "What in the name of celestia is going on here?" he shouted out loud.
-
It began as an ordinary morning for GOF member GVG and it just so happened that he was reading a My Little Pony fanfiction on the internet when his computer monitors screen began to glow brighter and brighter. At first glance the GOF member blinked as he tried to cover his eyes from the intense glare of the screen, as he suddenly felt an intense feeling of vertigo and felt as if he were free falling through the air.
He didn't remember landing... or touching anything for that matter, but as he awoke on his side, Guardian was disoriented. Needless to say he was shocked when he tried to stretch his arms and hands, and only found legs. It took this sensation a moment to register in Guardian's mind but once it did it certainly shook him out of his stupor."Woah... oh yeah, I can tell this is going to be an interesting day." he said sarcastically to himself with a sigh.
-
Eric stirred, looking around and trying to rub his head, only to end up whomping himself in the head with a hoof.
"Ow...note to self. Hoof to the hea...wait, I have hooves?!"
He rolled to his feet, looking back at himself in shock.
"Oh...kay...Today just got really, really weird."
He muttered. Last he remembered, he had been watching a My Little Pony music video on his computer, and then he had felt some sort of jerking sensation, and now...
"I'm...a pony???!"
-
"Ok let's try flying." f-22 said unfolding his wings. Using his back legs to propel him off the ground he decided to fly low and slow so he wouldn't loose control and so if any other humans turned into ponies called out to him he could hear them.
-
Guardian gave a sheepish grin as he struggled to stand for a moment. "Thank goodness.. I took that anatomy course on animals of the earth." he commented to himself as he took a few shaky trial steps. After several circles to ensure he got the natural rhythm down he stood still and took in his surroundings. "I'm in a forest... and it is horribly unnerving... this has GOT to be the Everfree Forest... Not.. good." he said to himself as he tried to walk and find a path out.
-
Kor continued to lay where he was for a bit once he was conscious. The thing he was on felt very soft. After a few seconds or so he decided to open his eyes. He first noticed he was on something white and fluffy. He stood and on standing he looked down, noticing he had 4 legs and hooves.
"What? What's going on? I'm some sort of horse with wings?" He said looking himself over again. "I must have somehow gone into the my little pony friendship is magic universe and I'm a Pegasus."
He looked around where he was. "Great. I'm on a cloud. Guess I should try to fly around or down. Can't stand, or stay on this cloud all day." He said to himself.
"I hope this body knows how to fly, or at least the basics. Though as I recall in that episode where Applejack kept jumping and missing she wasn't hurt so if I fall I guess it'll be similar to in the cartoons." He said. He paused for a bit as he looked over the edge of the cloud and down. Then he stretched his wings out. He took a deep breath then jumped off the cloud.
-
"Woah this is harder than it looks." f-22 said as he tried to keep control and fly straight. however a sudden downdraft pushed him back toward the ground into the forest again. As he hit the ground some flowers cushioned his fall. "Well at least the..." he started when he noticed the flower itself had blue leaves. "I landed in poison joke well that's just great." he said stomping at the ground with his front hooves.
-
f-22 got up and walked out of the poison joke before tripping over his hooves. "Well if I come across anypony I'll just go by the name that pony name generator came up for me." f-22 said. "What as it again right Spark Scream." f-22 walked rather awkardly away from the poison joke the area where he'd landed flattened.
-
Guardian stepped around a few trees, not sure where he was going but certain that he wanted to get out as soon as possible. Then he heard something, almost like someone tripping over their own feet... 'or hooves in this case.' he thought to himself. As he stepped around another tree he stopped dead in his tracks suddenly aware of the blue plants standing a few feet away. And to his utter surprise he saw another pony stumbling about on the other side of the small field of flowers. "Another poor pony fallen prey to the Poison Joke... how unfortunate. Well it would explain the sound I was following." he said aloud as he stepped around.
I suppose I should have a name before I introduce myself. But... I don't know what to call myself. it was then that he peered behind him staring intently at the cutie mark on his backside and grinned. "Yeah. Art Guard will work just fine." he said quietly as he walked up next to the pony. "Hi. Do you need some help?" he asked gently.
-
F-22 froze and turned around slowly. "I.. I'm Spark scream." Spark Scream said quietly.
-
Spike was doing some tidying up of the library.
----
Kor found it difficult to fly straight. He crashed into a cloud. He paused and rested briefly, pulling himself up onto the top of the cloud. "It's far harder then it looks. I'll have to try again." He said to himself.
-
Eric poked his head out from the bush he had accidentally fallen into when he heard the voices nearby.
"U-um...excuse me..."
He stammered nervously...
-
Spark Scream squeaked when he heard the new voice and slowly turned his head in that direction. "Umm hi." he said quietly.
-
In a moment of initial terror Guardian gave a slight gasp and turned to face the newcomer. "Geez... give a guy a heart attack why don't cha?!" he then twisted his head around as he acknowledged Spark Scream. "Nice to meet you. I'm Art Guard." he then faced the pony who had arrived and asked, "So... if I may be so bold... what is YOUR name my good stallion?"
-
Kor took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment before he leapt off of the cloud.
At first he thought he was doing a bit better. Then he lost control as he neared the ground, seeing some buildings not to far off. Then he saw a familiar tree and Wham he crashed into it's branches.
"At least I'm close to the ground. I wonder how I got here, and if I'll ever learn how to fly." Kor said to himself as he remained laying among the branches where he found himself.
----
"What's that?" Spike asked looking up a the sound.
-
Fluttershy was feeding the animals around her place. "Oh my it is a beautiful day." she said.
----------
"M.. maybe we should head to p...ponyville if that's what you two think we should do." Spark Scream said.
-
Eric nodded.
"That...seems like a good plan. A-also, my name is Hikari. Hikari Makoto..."
He said nervously...
-
Twilight having fallen asleep after pulling two days of research into something she couldn't very well remember was shaken awake by the sound of Spike talking. She blinked her eyes open and shook her head to clear the sleepiness that clouded her perception. She then looked down to the book she'd been using as a pillow, and ironically it was a revised edition of the recent census on the total number of ponies in Ponyvillie. "Sorry Spike. Did you say you heard something?" she asked gently as she rubber her eyes with a hoof.
~~~~~
Art Guard smiled. "Nice to meet you as well Hikari." he said in a polite voice. He then turned to Spark Scream and asked, "Did you happen to step into the Poison Joke? You seem to have trouble standing upright."
~~~~~
Pinkie Pie's pinkie senses were tingling again and she grinned brightly at the notion she felt. "OH! Time to plan the biggest party of parties that this town has seen since... well since Twilight came to Ponyvillie!" she giggled happily as she bounced around Sugarcube Corner and gathered supplies for her soon to be party.
-
"I uh crashed into after I lost control in flight." Spark Scream said. He looked at his legs the tell tale sign of blue warts covered his legs. "Well it may take a while to get there since the posion joke seems to be goin after my legs."
-
"Just three more days... then this set of the heat wave is over..." the GOF member known as the Dark Patriot thought as he sat before his computer, sipping at a bottle of banana milk. The heat was draining his will to do... well, pretty much anything, so he was just reading a My Little Pony fanfic. As he read, however, he noticed that his monitor was beginning to glow unnaturally.
"Strange..." he muttered, looking around for anything that could have been causing the odd glow, when suddenly he felt a sharp pull... then everything seemed to fade away.
---
The first thing he noticed when he awoke was the feel of grass against his side.
"...How did I get outside?" he mumbled to himself as he went to stretch... and noticed that his shape was all wrong. His mind ground to a halt.
"I have four legs, hooves...and a tail." He checked out his motion ranges, and a protrusion on his head tapped against a tree. "...And a horn." He rolled over and pushed himself up onto his hooves, looking himself over as he started to think properly again, his mind shifting into analysis mode. "I'm purple, too... A very nice, very dark purple, though...wait." He took a few experimental steps - and felt none of the ususal pain from his hips during them. "Sweet!" he cheered, doing a little joy-jump - and promptly planting his face into the ground. Chuckling sheepishly, he returned to his feet and continued his self-examination.
His eyes shifted to the mark on his flank. "Well, that confirms without a doubt as to what I am... Now I need to find out where I am..." he said to himself as he began to examine his surroundings... and he instantly recognized it. "The Everfree Forest. Most definitely NOT a place I want to be right n-Hold on. Other ponies that I'll probably run into will most definitely think I'm some sort of maniac or something if I introduce myself with any of my titles... I'll have to think of something that fits here..." He studied himself briefly again and pulled something at random from the sea of thoughts running through his mind. "...Midnight Sun. Yeah, I think that'll work. Well, onwards I go, I guess," he continued as he began to search for either a way out of the Forest or somepony else to point him in the right direction.
-
"Sorry if I woke you Twilight. I just thought I heard something, like someone crashing into the roof or tree." Spike said as he looked up.
-------
Kor slowly stood up and looked around as he thought to himself. "Looks like I landed on top of the library tree thing in Ponyville. At least I'm near the ground. Though I need to practice flying. And come up with a name." He thought for a moment. "Why not use Kor, I use that name often online, and the ponies here may think I mean core, which isn't to strange of a name. There could be a pony named core after all." He said. He looked to see how far the ground was and hoped it was easier to slow his fall then to fly.
He stretched his wings out and jumped, doing his best to slow his fall, and mainly succeeding, landing with a small thud outside the door, instead of the louder sound if he had just jumped without using his wings.
-
Spark Scream continued to walk wobbly but ended up tripping over his hooves. "Um could I get a little help here please?" he asked.
-----------
Fluttershy was in her cottage making some tea she'd just finished feeding the animals around her place. "Oh Angel please calm sown you just ate." she told the white rabbit who was bouncing around her living room calm tone.
-
It was a rainy summer night in Philadelphia. Lightning zigzagged across the sky, casting bright flashes of light onto the broad sidewalks below. A tall young boy dressed in a wet white lab coat paced himself as he hurriedly walked to his destination, carrying a sagging plastic bag in one hand and a clipboard in the other. He was the GOF member Dima02, who was known as Dima Gallop. He rounded a corner and came face-to-face with the huge wooden doors of the David Rittenhouse Laboratoryóthe main physics laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania. He hesitated a moment before opening the wooden doors and silently entering the building. Not making the slightest noise, he crept into the basement and to his usual post in Laboratory Station 3.
"Dima Gallop? Is that you?" a feminine voice asked.
Dima was so shocked that he dropped both the clipboard and the plastic bag. A thick, orange juice began leaking out of the plastic bag. "Don't sneak up on me like that, Daisy!" he yelled, still sweaty from the shock, "You made me spill our supper."
"I'm sorry, Dima," Daisy said, "Here. Let me help you." The 25-year-old lab supervisor picked up the leaking Styrofoam food containers and moved them onto a table. Daisy Mellow was a young woman with long, flowing hair and broad green eyes. Daisy and Dima were cousins, but they held little resemblance. The former was petite and charming with green eyes and brown hair. The latter was tall and stolid with black eyes and jet black hair.
"But couz," Dima asked his cousin, "Why did you call me here this late? I almost missed the last Septa train, and I won't be able to go home until tomorrow morning. I’d better get extra pay for working extra hours at night." He couldn't keep a straight face for the last sentence.
"They were testing some electromagnetic device in the lab today. Obviously, my boss saw something interesting and ordered me to stay behind to collect some data. I felt a bit hungry and lonely, so I called you. Lightning always scares me for some reason."
"Of course..." Dima and Daisy both sat down on the floor of the wide laboratory. Besides a big, green electrical generator in the middle of the room, the room was almost empty. It was nice to have the entire building to themselves. Dima unpacked one of the food containers and began to eat. Daisy recorded some data from the generator and propped open her laptop to enter the data.
"How about a little bit of My Little Ponies to cheer us up?" Dima suggested, "It's not like that we have anything better to do."
Daisy nodded and found the pilot episode of MLP: FiM. She put the volume on max in order to cover up the sound of the lightning. She was only supposed to check the gages on the generator every thirty minutes, so there wasn't too much to do. Dima was glued to the laptop screen.
Suddenly, just as Nightmare Moon appeared at the celebration in a cloud of lightning, a real flash of lightning hit the building. The entire electrical system of the David Rittenhouse Lab went berserk. Lights in the hallway flickered on and off, and there was a loud crashing sound. Then, red lights illuminated the room as fire alarms activated throughout the building. The generator in the room began to emit a stygian green fog. It almost instantly filled the room, blinding Dima and Daisy.
"Daisy! What do we do? Daisy? DAISY?" Dima panicked.
"Shut off the generator! Help me shut off the generator."
Dima, despite the blinding fog, managed to locate the generator with his foot. He started yelling so that Daisy could locate him by voice. Daisy frantically pressed the controls on the generator, but it was no use. The controls were damaged by the lightning strike. Dima watched as the gages soared to the max.
Then, the generator exploded. The last thing Daisy remembered was being thrown back from the explosion and hitting their head on the concrete floor. Daisy was immediately knocked unconscious, but Dima struggled tenaciously but futilely for another thirty seconds. He eventually succumbed to the chocking fog and fell unconscious.
-
Art Guard gave a short grin as he stepped over to Spark Scream and tried his best to hoist the pony onto his back. "This is... harder than... it looks!"he commented aloud as he looked to Hikari. "Mind lending me a hoof?"
~~~~
Twilight nodded her head as she looked towards the door to their library home. "Yes Spike, I hear it now too. I wonder who it could be?" she asked quietly as she stepped over to the front door and opened it with her magic. She noticed a pony standing right outside, and always one to make a good first impression gently asked, "Hello. I'm Twilight Sparkle. Who may i ask are you?"
Before the other pony could answer Pinkie Pie appeared behind Twilight and laughed. "Well duh Twilight! He's one of the new ponies in town and he gets an invitation to the super duper over the top party I have planned for later today!" she commented as she bounced around the library.
-
Hikari smiled and nodded.
"Of course. Lemme see here..."
He shut his eyes, and as his horn glowed, lifted Spark Scream onto Art's back.
-
"Woah!" Spark Scream exclaimed as he was lifter off the ground.
-
"Dima? Wake up! Dima!" Dima felt someone shaking him. He woke up and found himself staring right at the face of a purple unicorn.
"You don't have amnesia, do you?" the purple unicorn asked, "I'm Daisy Mellow, your cousin, remember?"
"How did you turn into an unicorn? This has to be a dream." Dima tried pinching himself, but he couldn't move his fingers. He looked down at his hooves. Realizing that he had hooves instead of hands, he quickly scanned the rest of his body. He was... an earth pony. "And how did I turn into an earth pony?"
"I don't know what happened, but I think that we're in the My Little Ponies Universe. That explosion must have knocked us into some alternate universe. I'm not sure how to get back."
"Well, if we're stuck here, we might as enjoy ourselves. Maybe we can find some others. Right now, if I am correct, we are in the middle of Everfree Forest. This is a dangerous place to be... Wait! I hear something."
"You do?"
"Yes, follow me!" Dima dashed off in the direction of the voice. Daisy followed suit.
-
Forest Grove walked up to Twilight's house which was the town libary and knocked on the door. "Twilight are you home?" he called out.
-------------
Flutter walked out of her cottage after finishing her tea. "I wonder what Twilight's up to?" she thought to herself as she flew over to the libary.
-
"Kor, my name is kor, nice to meet you." Kor said, thinking it was best to stick with that name since it sounded more like a MLP sort of name then his real name. He wondered if there were any books that talked about flying or if he could get someone to teach him how to do that. Or if he'd have to find a way to sneak off somewhere to try to practice & teach himself.
------
"A party, swell." Myrdinn said, eating a cafe in ponyville, in response to hearing about pinkie was going to have a party and how popular her parties were.
-
Fluttershy flew up to Forest Grove "Oh hi Forest Grove." she said quietly.
---------------
"Hello Fluttershy how are you doing today?" Forest grove asked.
"Oh I'm doing well today." Fluttershy replied.
-
Art Guard braced his legs as he felt Spark Scream lowered down onto his back. But was surprised to feel how lightweight the pony was. Must be because he's a pegasus. thought Guard to himself. He then turned to face Hikari and asked, "Perhaps you'd know a way out of here. I am getting a really bad vie from this place." He then asked Spark, "Are you comfortable?"
~~~~~~
Twilight was about to give Kor a full tour and opened her mouth to speak when she heard another knock at her door. Smiling she stepped over and opened the door once more and was genuinely surprised to see both Forest Grove and Fluttershy. She took a step back to let the two ponies inside and asked aloud, "Hello Forest Grove. Hi Fluttershy.... what brings you two by here? Need a book to borrow?" she giggled lightly knowing both living and tending as the librarian had it's perks.
She then turned to Spike with a gentle smile. "Spike could you put on a pot of tea for us please. And for all your hard work, I'll be sure to have Pinkie Pie make you a stack of cupcakes!" she added with a wink. She then had a question for Kor as it looked he was searching for something. "Are you curious about a particular book Kor?"
Pinkie Pie giggled as she bounced past the cafe where Myrdinn was eating with a large set of pouches on her back stuffed to the brim with party based object, most notably streamers. A lot of streamers in fact. But despite the weight on her flank, she bounced as if she were simply enjoying the day. She stopped for a moment and asked Myrdinn "Hiya! Wanna help me set up a party?! It'll be loads of super duper fun!"
-
Forest Grove walked in followed by Fluttershy. "Actully Twilight I was just comming to see how you were doing." Fluttershy said before she noticed kor.
--------------
"Who is this?" forest Grove asked walking over to kor. "I'm Forest Grove what's your name?" Froest grove asked introducing himself.
---------
"Yes I am Art Guard." Spark Scream said quietly.
-
"Tea? Comming right up. Pinkie pie cupcakes, yum." Spike said, rubbing his belly briefly as he ran off to start making some tea. Instead of starting to make tea for those present he decided to make extra, in case anyone else came over in the meantime. If he ended up with to much then no problem, it would get drunk anyway.
Kor thought for a moment. "I was just wondering if there were any books on flying. Just thought there may be some interesting tips or tricks I've not thoughtof trying."
He turned to look at the new arrivals. "Hello, I'm Kor, nice to meet you." He said.
---
Myrdinn nodded, "Sure, sounds like a lot of fun." He said to Pinkie. He quickly finished, being almost finished with his snack anyway. "Shall we be off to get started?" He asked her.
-----
Spike came in with the container of tea and some cups and started to serve the tea to those present. "I made extra in case some more folks drop by." Spike said.
-
"So uh where are you guys from?" Spark Scream asked Art Guard and Hikari. "That is if you don't mind me asking."
------------
"I..I'm fluttershy." Fluttershy said quietly sitting down.
-------
"Hello kor it's nice to meet you to." Forest Grove said.
-
Midnight Sun chuckled lightly as he continued his trek through the forest. "With my luck, I'm probably going deeper into the Forest rather than out of it... Heh, I should probably stop talking, but..." He trailed off as a thought struck him. "Wait a sec, I'm a unicorn. I might be able to use magic to help me find my way out of here." Now, how am I supposed to go about using it...
He paused for a moment, thinking. "Okay, let's try something." He closed his eyes. Visualize...Focus...And... His horn flashed dimly, and a weak pulse of magical energy radiated outward. "Wait for it..." he whispered.
Moments later, he felt a few small echoes return. Analyzing the returns, he determined that they were small animals close by. "Hmm... I think that was a sort of detect life spell, or something like that. That didn't get much more than ten feet or so, though... Let's try boosting the power some," he said to himself, then stopped again. This probably isn't a smart idea - Odds are there's something dangerous nearby that can detect my workings... he thought, then shrugged. "Nothing ventured..." he murmured, before repeating his focussing method, but putting more mental force behind it. His horn flashed again, and a significantly stronger pulse flew outward.
-
Hikari shook his head.
I'm not...exactly sure where we are in the forest, much less how to get out of it...unless you want me to try to use my magic or something..."
He said, looking around the forest nervously...
-
Art Guard grinned lightly as he replied, "Well Spark Scream, would you believe... that I'm not from this world at all. That in fact, I'm from a group called the Gang of Five?" He then sighed and shook his head. "Yeah, that sounded crazy even to me!" Then the strangest thing happened, his ears as if having a mind of their own began to swivel as if trying to locate a sound, a whisper of a sound. Guard then turned his head in a general direction. "Yeah... Hikari, think you can use your magic to focus on a echo location spell?" he asked with a look of concern.
~~~~~~
Twilight smiled as she watched Spike return with more than enough tea for everyone and even some extra in case more guests showed up. "Great work Spike! I'll be sure to make those cupcakes into a total dozen for this!" she said with a bright grin. She then turned to face Kor and asked, "Well which book on flying would you like? We have the Basics for Ponies, Weather Pattern Lookout, Flying for the Soul, Advanced Tricks and Tips." she then paused for a moment and smiled. "But for you I think the classic Tutorial on How Wings Work might be best." she then used her magic to levitate the book off the shelf and down in front of Kor.
Twilight then turned to Forest Grove and Fluttershy. "I'm doing alright. A little tired from pulling another all-nighter, but... nothing to worry about." she said with a giggle as she tried to stifle a yawn.
~~~~~~
Pinkie Pie grinned brighter than even she thought possible as Myrdinn agreed. "Okie dokie lockie! This way please!" she said with a laugh as she bounced away towards the library intent on throwing the eventual party there. "This is going to be so much fun. I mean like, parties are always fun, but this party is going to be like the most super duper fantastical extra amazing over the top mega party! Oh I'll bet everypony will be there from Ponyvillie!" she said with a silly laugh as she thought about the party.
-
"Yeah I'd beleive you in fact I'm from the same group." Spark Scream replied quietly.
-
Kor nodded, "THanks. That does sound good. Never know when a book may have some interesting information, even on a subject you may know about." He said smiling a bit as well.
"Thanks Twilight." Spike said, proud of her praise and standing tall.
---
Myrdinn followed along behind Pinkie. "Parties are always fun, especially yours." He said. "I bet everyone will be there and there'll be lots of fun. After all how can anyone not like one of your parties." He said.
-
Hikari looked up, amazed.
"No way! Y-you guys are from that same group? Wow!"
He stammered, his horn sparking and flashing a little as he began to cast a spell around them, trying to find the way out of the forest...
-
"The main questions are how did we get here, how do we get back home, and who else cam here with us." Spark Scream said quietly.
-
Midnight Sun learned two major things from his study of the returns from his last scan. First was that there were two other groups of ponies within his spell's detection radius. The second point was that, judging from the number and direction of the smaller returns, he was much closer to the edge of the Everfree Forest than he originally thought. Pausing in his analysis, he took a closer look at his surroundings...
And promptly facehoofed. Not only was he on the fringes of the Everfree, but there was a small trail right behind him that, according to the readings of his spell, looked like it would lead him out of the forest. "Note to self - do not compare this place to home," he muttered, crushing down the wave of anger that had flared up and moving along the trail. He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he stopped.
Those other groups... Both of them have a unicorn in them, if I'm reading my reflections right... If they're lost too, I might be able to help, he thought. I can use the same base as that locator spell, but replacing the part that helps me sense things with a directional marker. It'll be like... a beacon! I can't say for certain if they'll feel it, but I can try! "Okay, let's see if this works..." he muttered. He focused on the spell, modifying what he needed to...
His horn flashed, and the magical pulse sped out - and a wave of dizziness swept through Midnight Sun. The modified spell had taken a lot more energy than his previous works, and he ended up on the ground, breathing heavily. "Whoa..."
-
"I should probbaly get a book on flying when we do finally reach ponyville so I can get more of an idea on flying." Spark Scream said.
-----------
"Um Kor if you don't mind me asking that is are you good with animals?" Fluttershy asked.
-
Kor looked over at Fluttershy. He shrugged. "I guess I'm about average. Friendly dogs and cats have liked me before." He said. He hoped the book would teach him at least the basics of flying. Flying sounded like fun indeed.
"Fluttershy is the best I've seen with animals. Though Applejack is good at herding." Spike said.
-
A flash of light suddenly passed Dima and Daisy. They both stopped to try to determine the source of the light.
"Where did that come from?" Dima asked, "Whatever that was, it wasn't natural. Could it be some other ponies?"
"I don't know, but I feel this tingling sensation in my horn," Daisy said, "I think I feel somepony else in this forest... No, I'm sure that there is somepony else in this forest. Here. Follow me!"
Daisy changed direction and ran. Her horn seemed to be glowing. Dima didn°Øt question his cousin. He knew that glowing horns meant that a unicorn was onto something. That was how Rarity found her cutie mark, after all. The two came to a low bush and dashed right across it.
There was a purple male unicorn on the ground in front of them. He had an ice-blue mane and a cutie mark that resembled three comets over a full moon. He seemed to be hurt.
"Were you the one who sent that signal?" Daisy asked. "Are you alright?"
"Do you need a hand, um... I meant hoof?" Dima reached out the male purple unicorn. "What is your name?"
-
Forest Grove walked over to one of the book shelves and used his magic to pick out a book. "The legend of Sunnytown." he said opening the book.
-
Guard was surprised to say the least. He first answered Spark Scream's question. "Well... I was on my computer at home, watching a particular episode of My Little Pony and... the next thing I knew I felt this sense of vertigo and I woke up here in the forest."
However after a moment of silence his initial curiosity overcame his need to be 'professional' as he inquired. "So, Hikari what is your GOF username? And if you'd like to Spark Scream could you tell me yours as well?" Despite his utter want to get out of the the accursed Everfree Forest Art Guard couldn't shake the feeling that other ponies were around. He turned to Hikari and sighed. "I'm sorry to keep asking, but has your horn found any other ponies around here? I just can't get the feeling out of my head that we're not the only ones in this forest."
~~~~~~
Twilight smiled at Spikes comment. "yes, Fluttershy is good with animals. It is her cutie mark after all. She doesn't just care for them, she finds them new homes where they can be happy and relatively free from danger." She then giggled as she heard the title of the book Forest Grove had picked up. "Now that one is one of my favorites! The tale of a town in Equestria that disappeared on the day the sun rose for the first time with magic!"
~~~~~~
Pinkie Pie giggled. "I know! But that's what I'm good at! Parties for almost anything! I mean seriously you give me any reason and I'll turn it into a reason to have a party! Cause parties are like, soooo much fun!" she said as she bounced in a circle while still somehow keeping her balance and heading in a straight line. "This is waaaay too much fun! I'm just glad my saddle bags are sealed nice and tight so none of my party favors go flying all over... can you imagine the messy mess it would make! Oh my gosh the mayor would be like, so mad!" commented Pinkie while still heading towards Twilights home.
-
Spark Scream looked at his F-22 cutie mark. "Well mine is f-22 "raptor" ace." Spark Scream said.

Hikari smiled.
"I'm StarfallRaptor. And by the way, I just felt another unicorn nearby. Should we go look for them?"
He asked, grinning...
-
"Yes besides who knows they might know a way out of here." Spark Scream said.
-
"That's a cool story." Spike said, his face lighting up with his memory of it.
---
Myrdinn nodded, "Yes, there would be streamers and party favors all over the place. Then there would be no time for a party since they'd have to be all cleaned up instead of having a party." Myrdinn said.
"As for a reason to have a party there are lots of reasons, including there has not been a party in a while, and this date only comes around once a year." He said, trying to think of odd reasons to have parties.
-
"Y-Yeah, that was me," Midnight Sun replied, relaxing slightly - He'd tensed up when he'd heard the pair of ponies approaching. "I-I'll be okay - The... that last pulse just took more out of me than I thought it would," he added, his general nervousness during new encounters spiking up. The dizziness had faded to a more manageable level, being replaced by a mild headache. Note to self... be very careful with that spell, he thought, reaching for the hoof offered by the earth pony - before remembering that he didn't have a hand to grasp it.
"Um..." he paused for a moment, feeling quite awkward, then proceeded to get back on his hooves. "I'm...Midnight Sun," he said, allowing himself to relax a little bit more, though the new-pony nervousness had yet to fade.
-
"Yeah I wonder if the mystery will ever be solved?" Forest grove asked as he started reading the book.
----------
"Art Guard do you think we should try to find the other unicorn Hikari felt that was close?" Spark Scream asked.
-
"Maybe Princess Celestria knows but isn't telling." Spike said.
-
"Maybe she does but nopony will really know what happened until the mystery is solved." Forest Grove said.
-
Twilight gave a momentary frown at the thought of Princess Celestia with-holding information like that. "I don't think so. Even if it was something Celestia was upset about, I doubt she'd hide it for over 1,000 years. It just wouldn't be her style."
~~~~
The human turned pony grinned as he said, "Well first, my username on the GOF is GVG or more commonly known simply as Guardian. And in answer to your question Spark Scream... yes. Finding any other ponies around here would... be a great help to getting our sorry tails outta here. So Hikari if you can lead the way I would humbly ask you to do so." He then turned his head to glance at Spark and replied, "And if you're lucky then we'll happen to run into Zecora and she'll have a remedy for your Poison Joke."
~~~~~~
Pinkie Pie finally stopped as she reached the front door of the Ponyvillie library that also doubled as her friend Twilights home. She then banged her head three times against the door hoping to get somepony's attention inside. "This is going to be soooo much fun! I can't wait to get started!" she said with a few sparkles in her eyes showing truly that she wanted to have this most amazing party.
-
Dima grew back his hoof, feeling slightly embarrassed. Hooves without fingers aren't going to help much, he thought, Good thing I'm used to holding things in my mouth.
"Hello, Midnight sun," Dima greeted, "My name is Dima Gallop. This here is my cousin, Daisy Mellow." Daisy nodded and blushed a bit in the presence of the stranger.
"Would you happen the know the way out, kind stallion? We were in a lab in Philadelph..." Daisy tried to explain, but Dima interrupted her.
"Shh!" Dima whispered to Daisy, "Don't tell him the story yet. Nopony is going to believe us; they'll all think that we're crazy. Let's keep it a secret."
Dima approached Midnight Sun again. "Sorry, sir.. er... stallion," Dima said, "We are not from around here. Would you happen to know where we are and how to get out?"
-
"Perhaps it got shunted to another dimension or time." Kor said, then turned towards the door. "Is someone knocking?"
"I'll get it." Spike said as he headed towards the door.
-----
Myrdinn wondered if Pinkie ever gave herself a headache knocking in that way. And it did look painful also.
-
"Yeah then I can walk on my on and know to stay away from the posion joke." Spark Scream said with a half grin on his face.
-
A flash of suprise washed away Midnight Sun's nervousness as he caught Daisy's interrupted query and Dima's whispered response, followed by a cooling sense of relief that he was not alone in being pulled into Equestria. A small smile spread across his muzzle. "Pleasure to meet you both," he replied. "You could say that I'm... not from around here either. As to where we are..."
He closed his eyes, recalling the returns from his second spell. "I wasn't able to get a definite location from my last... er, locator pulse, but I'm pretty sure we're on the fringes of the Everfree Forest. If what I felt was right, this trail here should lead out, maybe to the main entrance path if we're lucky," he said, opening his eyes and indicating the trail.
Midnight Sun thought for a moment. "There's another unicorn somewhere in here, though, and it didn't feel like he or she was alone. If what I'm thinking is right..." He trailed off, returning to his thoughts.They might have been brought here from our world, too. It just feels too... coincidental for this many different groups to be in a place like this at the same time - Though that beacon pulse should lead them here... he thought, his head swinging around to point upwards along the trail, then back in the direction of the last place he'd felt the other unicorn.
-
Forest Grove continued reading the book entranced by the story. "That is a possiblty kor but it may turn out that the truth is stranger than fiction." Forest grove said.
-
Spike opened the door, "Hello?" He asked as he opened the door.
"Maybe an evil wizard shrank the city and put it into a bottle." Kor said, remembering the pre-crises fate of the Kryptonian city Kandor, that superman had in his fortress of Solitude through the silver and most of the bronze age, of comics. But altering a few facts to be more fitting in the MLP type of stuff, changing Braniac into a wizard, and the shrinking ray to a shrinking spell.
-
Twilight laughed a bit.
"I suppose the truth is stranger than fiction. I am after all freinds with Pinkie Pie and she is alot stranger than most stories I've read." She said with a bright smile. But then she spoke up. "And even all the magic in Equestria couldn't shrink an entire city, and the pony residents and just make it all go poof."
Pinkie Pie grinned as she saw Spike answer the door. "Hiya Spike! Got room for a super amazing never gonna forget super sized party?!" she said with a bright Pinkie grin.
~~~~~
Art Guard smiled too.
"And then you can practice flying with Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy."
-
"Yeah I guess I could." Spark scream said squeaking.
-------------
"Party?" "Who are you throwing the party for Pinkie?" Forest Grove asked.
-
Spike smiled at the mention of a party, "Sure Pinkie Pie, come right in." He said moving out of the way so she and any others with her could come in.
-
"Hey guys have you ever played the game story of the blanks?" Spark Scream asked.
-
Forest Grove finished reading the book and closed it. "Hey Twilight I have a theory." Forest Grove said.
-
Hikari shivered pronouncedly.
"Please please please don't mention that while we're in the forest..."
He said, hair bristling and standing on end.
"A-anyways, c'mon. I've got a lock on that other unicorn. Let's go."
He added, trotting off down a small path...
-
"Sorry about mentioning that." Spark Scream said. He sighed and rubbed his chin with his right hoof.
-
"What do you think happened Fluttershy?" Forest Grove asked.
------------
"Oh um I try not to think about the place." she said before whimpering.
-
Art guard shivered at the thought of that particular game. "Geez... bad enough we're actually here to begin with. Although... I do wonder what exactly happened there? That game... despite it's creepy nature didn't reveal too much." he said with a hushed whisper. He then asked Hikari, "Is that feeling getting any stronger?"
~~~~~
Twilight turned to Forest Grove and asked aloud, "Well what is your theory about? Although I'm sure it will be well thought out." She turned to Pinkie Pie rather confused. "Wait... a party? Here? For what reason Pinkie?" she asked with a doubtful look on her face.
Pinkie however just giggled and responded by saying, "Well I got this twitch that says some new ponies will be showing up soon! And when they do they will get THE biggest Pinkie Pie Party that Ponyvillie has ever seen!" While she was speaking however her saddle bags had come open and she'd begun hanging streamers and balloons all around the library with a speed that rivaled Rainbow Dash
-
Myrdinn did his best to start to help Pinkie hang the decorations using his normal unicorn magic.
"She's fast." Kor said, watching Pinkie.
"That's Pinkie. You should when she really wants to go fast." Spike said.
-
"Great... Just great." Dima said sardonically, "Out of all the places where we could be, we just had to be in the Everfree forest. This is a pretty dangerous place. That cockatrice is still out there, just waiting to turn us into stone, and we don't know where..."
Daisy stopped Dima's prattling with a whack on his side. Dima immediately stopped talking and looked slightly embarassed. Diasy gave him an annoyed look.
"Do you two hear something?" Daisy asked, "I think somepony is galloping this way. That locator pulse really worked."
-
"I think something might have happened there that caused the place to be cursed." Forest Grove said.
---------------
"It seems that Rainbow Dash might have just been outdone by Pinkie Pie." Fluttershy said.
-
Midnight Sun's eyes flicked back to his two companions, listening in. He chose not to respond to Dima's comment, believing that pretty much anything he could say would probably only serve to increase the worries of the others - the mention of the cockatrice had served to stoke his own.
His ears twitched as he focused on his hearing after Daisy's query, turning to face the noise she'd alerted him to. "I think you're right, miss Mellow," he replied after a moment. "Let's hope the luck holds," he added quietly, more to himself than anything else.
-
"Ok we can talk about that after we leave the Everfree Forest." Spark Scream said.
(OCC: If anypony here wants to rp as Zecroa go ahead)
-
"Um I hate to sound impatient and uh that is if you don't mind me asking but is the tea ready yet?" Fluttershy asked.
-
"i know how you feel about curses and things like that Twilight but that's just what i think." Forest Grove said awaiting twilight's response.
-
"Sure, let me get you some." Spike said as he ran over to get some tea into a cup and offer it to Fluttershy. "Thought I had already given you some. Does anyone else want tea or more tea?" He asked looking around.
-
"I would like some spike." Forest Grove said.
-
Spike poured some into a cup and offered it to Forest Grove, "here you are. Anyone else?"
"I think I'd like a bit, if it's not to much trouble." Kor said.
Spike poured another cup. "Here's yours." Spike said, offering the cup to to Kor who took it in a similar fashion to how he remembered some ponies drinking or holding their cups in some background party scenes & such from the show.
-
"Thanks Spike." Forest Grove said.
----------------
"Are we any closer yet?" Spark Scream asked.
-
Fluttershy took a sip of her tea. "This is really good tea spike." fluttershy said taking another sip.
-
"Thanks. If I knew we'd be having so many guests I'd have baked some cookies." Spike said, smiling at the praise given him.
-
"Well I guess we can wait on that if that's alright with you that is." fluttershy said.
-
"It'll take time. IF you are all in a hurry to eat I can go and see if there is anything at Mr and Mrs. Cake's place." Spike said.
-
"Anypony up for a song to pass the time?" Spark Scream asked.
-
Art Guard almost laughed when he heard Spark ask his question. "Yeah, a song would most likely do us some good out here." he said with a slight laugh as he continued to walk. He then turned to Hikari and asked aloud, "You're being kinda quiet... you alright?"
~~~~~~
Twilight smiled at Spike, he was always willing to go out of his way to keep his friends happy. "No that's okay Spike if anyone is going to get cookies, it will be me. You've worked hard today, and you deserve a break." She then turned her attention to Fluttershy. "You can stay here as well if you'd like Fluttershy."
-
"Oh thank you Twilight I fed my animals before I came here so they should be alright for a while." Fluttershy said.
-
"Thanks Twilight Sparkle." Spike said. He got a bit of tea for himself and found a place to sit down.
Kor focused on sipping his tea and listening for now.
Myrdinn attempted to continue helping Pinkie here & there, doing his best to keep out of her way.
-
"How's giggle at the ghostie sound?" Spark Scream asked.
-
Midnight Sun shook himself, snapping back to the present after spacing out for a moment. "Focus, Dark, focus!", he growled, rubbing the side of his head with a hoof.
He rechecked his bearings and moved to a position just ahead of the cousin pair, preparing for defensive measures just in case something unfriendly happened to show up - He wasn't entirely sure if anything other than unicorns would have been attracted by his spells. "None of this makes much sense, I say..." he said quietly, continuing to observe the surrounding area and settling firmly into his sentry mindset - He wasn't taking any chances until he could actually see what was approaching, although he was pretty sure he had heard voices over the standard forest noise. I hate forests... he thought.
-
"It's been a while since I've been in the woods." Spark Scream said. "Even though this is the everfree forest, I'd forgotten how peaceful it is being in nature."
-
Dima Gallop quickly grasped the solemnity of the situation. Imitating Midnight Sun, he took cover behind a tree and laid down. His mind raced as he tried to come up with a defense strategy. There was none. He hardly knew how to run in his new form, let alone fight. He began to grow uneasy and nervous.
Although they were usually an optimists, Dima Gallop and Daisy Mellow both knew the graveness of their position. Neither of them could fly, and neither of them were used to running in their new forms. Neither knew how to put up a fight. A cockatrice would turn them into stone before they have a chance to escape, and a manticore would simply tear them to pieces.
Dima tried to brush the thoughts from his head. As long as he remained quiet, he would not be found. He gestured to Daisy to get down and softly whispered "shh..." Daisy understood and laid down behind a bush. Their colors contrasted with the color of the grass, but the forest was dark. As long as they made no noise, they still stood a chance.
-
Spark Scream looked down to see if his deer pendant was still around his neck. "Oh good I thought I'd lost it in the crash or when I came here." he said when he saw it still was around his neck.
-
"You know this place kind of reminds me of where I went for our senior class trip." spark scream said.
-
Art Guard looked surprised as he couldn't help but ask, "Your class trip was into a forest?! That sounds like it would be incredibly fun!" he sighed as he looked around for a moment. Then he noticed the pendant around Sparks neck. "Is that pendant of yours special for some reason?" he asked politely.
~~~~
Twilight had made it to Sugar Cube Corner rather quickly not wanting to keep her friends waiting and knowing Pinkie pie was back at the library kinda made her worry, with Pinkie anything was possible, especially since she was setting up for a party. She thanked Mr, and Mrs. Cake for the treats and headed back as quickly as she could wanting to keep the cookies and other sweets fresh. As she stepped through the door she was rather surprised to see Pinkie Pie sitting down and talking. The purple mare couldn't help but ask, "Is everything alright? I got back as quickly as I could."
Pinkie pie grinned as she turned around and asked, "So what do ya think Twilight? Isn't it great! I can't wait to see the look on those ponies faces when they step through the door and they'll be all like 'Woah no way!' and then we'll get to party and have lots of fun for the rest of the night!" she said at a mile a minute.
-
"Yes it was given to me by my teacher it's of my power animal the white tailed deer." Spark Scream said.
-
Myrdinn was sitting down and sipping some tea, relaxing.
"The decorations look great." Kor said looking around at the decorations that were up.
"That's Pinkie pie. You can always expect great decorations and a fun party if she plans it or is involved." Spike said.
Then when Spike noticed Twilight had returned, "Great, cookies and such. Want me to pass them out to everypony?" Spike asked.
-
Spark Scream thought quietly to himself. "I admit it will be a bit strange we're meeting characters from a fandom we're part of like the LBT rp we had on the GOF." he thought. "Are we any closer to the unicorn that was detected?" he asked aloud.
-
"Well um if there are more newcommers coming as pinkie says I um hope they're uh friendly." Fluttershy said quietly.
------------
"Yeah so do I." Forest Grove replied.
-
"Maybe we can greet them in a friendly matter." Myrdinn said.
"maybe Pinkie or Fluttershy can greet them." Kor said, looking at the 2 ponies he mentioned.
