>Day 20 in the human world
>I was in need of money so it was natural to find a place to work
>One of the few jobs I was qualified for was at a call center, only headphones and a microphone, so I was set
>It was weird the first few days, till I got the hang of it
>There were other p0nies working there, and they were kind enough to help me
>However, there was one that worked right next to me
>A human
Hey, PC, tonight me and some of the guys and girls are thinking of going out.
You wanna join? It'll be fun!
>Oh Celestia
>This is it
>It's time to socialize
>"Uh.. Where are we going?"
I dunno, that's the charm of it. We go out, see where the city takes us. It's all about the atmosphere, you know?
>"I don't know.. It's my first week here. I barely know any of you."
>"I mean, I know you and the blonde girl over there."
You mean Alex? Yeah, she's cool. She'll be joining us too.
Come on, you'll love it.
>Oh, buck, I'm gonna go
>"S-sure thing, when is the meet-up?"
At 8 this evening, we;ll pick you up. You game, then?
>"Yes.. I'm game."

>Oh Celestia what am I going to wear?
>Where are we even going?
>What if we're going in a classy place? Like those I've seen in the magazines
>But I don't have anything elegant with me
>My fancy saddle is at home
>Better go as neutral as possible
>My purple hoodie will do, I guess
>It will even bring out my eyes
>What time is it, anyway? I don't want to keep anyone waiting on my first going out
>It's 7:50
>Only 10 minutes
>I'll just wait
>8:05
>Where the buck are they?
>Am I being d-ditched?
>8:10
>I am being ditched.
>Suddenly, a loud honk
>IT'S THEM
>I lock my door and scurry down the stairs
>There they were, in a blue convertible
>My colleague was behind the steering wheel
>Next to him the seat was empty
>In the back were Alex, the girl with the blonde hair from work with another man
>Are they a couple?

COME ON PC, HOP ON
>I've never been in one of these before
>Only in the big ones, where there are many others there
>I've been once in a smaller one, but it was yellow, and it was covered at the top
>And I had to pay the driver to get me home
>It's a good thing I still have some money on me, in case they will ask for some for riding with them
>"O-Ok! I'm coming!"
PC, since this is your first night out, you're riding with me.
>I am starting to feel very nervous.
>This is THE first time I am doing something like this
>It was comfy in the front, though
>The device started to purr, gently at first
>Then it started roaring, and we were on our way
>I could see everything
>The town was so beautiful
I was thinking we would ride for a while. Watch the city, you know? This is what I like most. The guys agree, too.
>"Yeah, it's beautiful. No town in Equestria has as many lights. Not even Canterlot."
Is that like the capital of your world?
>"Yes, it's where our princesses reside."
I see. Well, enjoy the ride, PC.

World greeted me with cacophony of colors and loud sound of portal closing behind me.
Tall, ugly buildings were sorrounding me, all covered in flashing lights and weird drawings. Awful stench attacking my nostrils, coming from nearby pile of rubbish.
>"I thought this was supposed to be hi-tech world"
It appears i landed in a back alley of sorts, cluttered by metal boxes and strange four-wheeled contraptions.
>"Nevermind that, there will be plenty of time for sightseeing later. First thigs first - status. Limbs?"
I stretched my legs and tensed muscles.
>"Still on my hooves, all four of them. Other parts seem to be in place as well. Horn?"
Trash cans and walls began to reflect a faint blue glow.
>"Operational. Armour?"
I tried pulling my breastplates and straps.
>"Intact. Ready to deploy."
I chuckled to myself, reminiscencing sergeant Break Tooth's routine.
>"I have yet to meet someone who talks like that. Some stuff really doesn't leave the basic."
My train of tought was suddenly stopped. I could hear someone talking. In equestrian at that!
>"Other agents? Shooting Star is that you? Wait a minute..."
"Yeah, and they make you pay for it! What the hell is- "
A tall, bipedal creature was looking straight at me, wide eyes and mouth agape. It dropped a small black box it was talking to. Before it reached the ground i realized my mistake.
>"Camouflage."
>Shit!
I decided to stage a tactical withdrawal.

>"Run run run! There's gotta be some cover here!"
I could hear the creature yelling something, it tried to follow me.
>"Wait! Come back! What are you!?"
>"Celestia dammit where are carton boxes when you need them?"
I noticed the wheeled metal things had actual keyholes in them. I tried opening them.
>"Come on, come on, work you piece of-"
Having all pins magically pushed in, the mechanism clicked and door stood wide open. I hopped in and shut it behind me, hiding between the seats.
>"Where are you? I don't want to hurt you, come out!
>"Go away you ape."
Despite my wishes i could still hear it though, rummagin around the place.
>"Just give up already"
It stops just outside of my metal hideout, oblivious to my presence. I risked a quick glance at it.
>"Damn, you're a stubborn one. What are you anyway?"
It sat on some box, combing it's long hair and looking around.

>"Smooth skin, no scales, almost no fur. Sweet scent and that shade of pink on cheeks...a female. Female chasing after me, hah. Well at least she's a mammal."
Woman took off a piece of clothing, warmed up after the chase.
>"Correction, she's definitely a mammal. Those are...huge. Almost impractical. I could just bury my face in them..."
She turned around, forcing me to dive between seats again. However it seemed that she finally gave up, probably considering me a product of her imagination.
I leaned out of my cover to see her walking away. My eyes rested on her firm legs and nice, round flank, tightly packed inside those black pants, moving hypnotically.
>"Just look at it go...this may be the best world yet..."
>"What the hay am i even thinking about. I should be glad i managed to hide. Orders were clear - no engagement with locals unless necessary."
>"How could I have forgotten about my Standard Issue Disguise spell? It will take days to combine something from scratch."
>"Let's just focus on finding someplace safe."
I noticed black metal railing coming out of the brick wall. The ladder was no use for a pony. It required some old school hard way tweaking. With magic.
>"Oh you're coming down alright! Yeah, just a little bit further-"
Covered in blue light, ladder finally fell out of it's hinges, landing on metal carriage i was hiding in, with loud clang. I could use it to climb on top, before another close encounter.
>"I will admit it, this is the one moment i really wish i had wings instead of that horn. Now, onto the main objective..."
The Sun came out from behind the clouds, with the promise of transforming cold morning into hot day. There i was sitting on rooftop, considering my next move.
>"Gotta love them offworld assignments"

>Day 4 in human land
>You finally did it. You magnificent bastard Lyra.
>You knew that humans existed, you just knew it.
>And know here you are hiding in the sewers still giddy about how right you are.
>Even if you do reek of human excretion.

>Soon you shall return to Equestria and rub your findings and human waste in the Princesses beloved lackey Twilight Sparkle ( then the Princess of course, dumb bitch nearly had you committed).
>But for now you must find a way to document your findings. These humans definitely have something for that right?

>You climb up out of the sewer and find yourself in what you think is some sort of human back alley.
>You start to nosey around, looking in a few windows.
>You pressed your face up to some windows with the biggest grin on your face to let everyhuman know your friendly.
>Some might say you scared the shit out of them. But you know those were screams of surprise and joy.

>You wander out of the alley and into a busy street still carrying the huge grin on your face.
>Everyhuman looks at you with bewilderment and everything seems to stop.
>I don't know how to continue this. This is just a warm up exercise.

>You look upon the bewildered humans and jump one a car.
>You open your mouth and bellow
>GIVE ME YOUR HANDS AND YOUR HUGS
>You then stand on two legs and waddle up to the crowd, front hooves out for the hugs and hands.
>Why... why are you moving away? I'm only trying to be friendly.
>You waddle faster and leap into the air.
>You land and latch onto a man with a badge on his chest and wrap your hooves around him.
>You're all my chums! You exclaim.

>You are thrown in the back of the squad car as the human calls it.
>You spend the tour of the city ( what else could this "officer" be doing?) with your face glued to the window.
>Eventually you are brought outside a building and taken in. You are swiftly thrown in some sort of dungeon.
>"BY LUNA" you shout out. "Clearly I'm being held where they keep humans who know that humans and ponies lived together! Is there any place left that is free from that tyrants hoof?!"
>"Oh my what have they done to these poor people? That one over there has obviously been here for a while. Look at him! All dirty and smelly and vomiting. Clearly they neglect and break all political prisoners!"
>Clearly these humans were not acting according to their free will. Insidious Celestia must have them under some sort of nefarious spell!
>You must escape but how?

>A man comes in wearing a black suit, black tie, black everything.
>I'm a representative of the government of the United Stat-ARGG FUCK
>You threw your lyra straight at his face, whacking him in the check. You jumped up and seized it mid air.
>You make a break for it, running all over the building. The bewildered looks of everyhuman further proved that they were lackeys and drones of Celestia.
>You spot a trench coat and hat near a window. You leap for them and tumble into them and out of the window. You land in a pile of human trash but quickly dust yourself off.
>You hastily walk out there on two legs, not wanting to grab any unwanted attention.
>Dressed in your trench coat and hat concealing your face you walk out into the human world ready to liberate it from the likes of Celestia and her whorse Twilight.

"And uh... I'll have a large popcorn."
>"Ooh ooh! And a blue icee!"
"Pinkie, please."
>"And Sweet Tarts! Lots and lots of Sweet Tarts!"
"Pinkie I only have enough for a popcorn for both of us. Tickets were expensive enough, I can't-"
>Pinkie jumps onto your head, pointing a hoof at the acne ridden teen behind the concession stand.
>"You! Do you have any Twizzlers?"
>"Uh...yeah?"
>"I'll take five boxes of those, as well as a chili dog!"
"Pinkie this is ridiculous."
>Pinkie looks at you with a smile while sitting on your head, booping your nose with a hoof and giggling.
>"Oh Anon, of course I'm ridiculous! I'm Pinkie-"
"-Pie, yes I know. We have been over this many, many times."
>The kid at the concession looks utterly fucking confused.
"Look just give us a large popcorn and a root beer."
>"But Anon what about the-"
"And a box of Sweet Tarts."
>Pinkie lets out a delighted squeal as she grabs your cheeks and mushes them about.
>"Yaaaaay! Now we can go watch Up! Yaaaaaay!"
"Yay."
>It never ends, this shit.

Avier looked up at the bright summer sky as he wheeled his motorcycle out of his garage. It wasn’t particularly out of the ordinary, a nice day like this. He couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. It was almost as if nothing was wrong with this world. He put his index finger and thumb in his mouth and whistled sharply. A small flash of light and Setsun was straddling the seat behind him, forelegs wrapped around his torso and a big grin on her face. She always loved riding with him; they didn’t have vehicles like this back in Equestria. It’s been a year and two months since the conflict broke out, and by now the entire world has long since been affected.
‘’Hold on tight, Set!’’ She nodded in response; he could feel her heart beating against his back, even through the jacket.
Everyone remembers the day that our worlds merged. It was like the continent of Equestria rose up out of the sea, it was like magic. Hell it probably was magic. No coasts were flooded, no massive shifts in climate, it just appeared. And the ponies came with it.
Setsun squeaked a bit as the clutch gripped and the bike started moving. They were going to the garage for routine maintenance.
At first the ponies were accepted and allowed to continue living the way they were. It didn’t last for long. Eventually their culture began being heavily influenced by our worlds. They wanted technology, we wanted to study their magic. Everything worked out at first, but like all good things, it seemed to go south pretty fast.
The bike pulled out onto the road, it was a relatively short drive to the garage.
Eventually the technology the ponies received from us started to hurt them more than it benefited them. The royal family of Equestria blamed us for it, naturally. They were already distrustful of our race to begin with; if they were capable of hate they would be on the verge of it.

The human leaders were thinking of more and more ways to use the ponies’ magic, but Celestia had had enough of it. She declared Equestria off limits to all but her subjects. Who knew how things would play out when they were invaded by the Advanced Superior Coalition, formerly certain parts of the United States and China. The Unionist Reform was born in retaliation.
The familiar sign for their local garage peered into view as the bike slowed down.
It was just another day in the sacred garden. That was the nickname they gave to the neutral zone of the UR, situated in the land formerly known as Canada. Since the fighting began, the ASC had been pushed out of North America, and were now holed up in eastern Asia. The UR were now situated in North America, and with the ASC where they were now, the lands between western Europe and central Asia were considered no-man’s-land. That was the front line.
The bike pulled into the lot and ground to a halt. As Avier flipped the kickstand out, Setsun hopped off the back awkwardly, stumbling to the ground.
‘’’You alright, Set?’’ He said, yanking off his helmet. She just flashed him a big grin.
‘’Don’t worry about me!’’ Nothing ever seemed to get her down. Avier smiled and started walking towards the establishment, leaving Setsun alone outside. There was a humming in the distance, but she couldn’t see what it was. Her horn began to glow, as she used her magic to pull out a cloth from the saddle bag of Avier’s motorcycle. Whistling a happy tune, she began polishing the paint job. She and Avier had been friends since the fighting began. He was one of the few humans remaining in Equestria when the ASC invaded, and they both spent two months as refugees, eventually washing up here in the UR’s back yard.

About a minute later, Avier walked out of the building, the owner in tow. The humming in the distance was getting louder. They approached the bike, and Setsun backed away with a bow. Avier said something, but the humming was getting louder. He opened his mouth even wider to shout something, but he was cut off completely as a helicopter swept overhead. It couldn’t have been more than a hundred feet above their heads. Before it was gone, another fell in line behind it. And another behind it. Six helicopters flew overhead, leaving the three standing in the parking lot stunned.
‘’Whaaaaaaaaa…’’ Setsun was the first to make a noise, the humming fading off into the distance.
‘’Well,’’ Avier was next to speak, ‘’That’s pretty out of the ordinary…’’

>POV, Avier
>Done at the garage, getting your gear on now
>Set is over by the bike, spinning the back wheel idly while its on the stand
>She's so obsessed with our technology
>Even more than me...
>for a second you stop, lost in thought a bit
>That helicopter convoy earlier
>You could have sworn that they weren't supposed to do that here
>It's only noon
>on a saturday
>Set's probably dying for some action
>You two always love getting into trouble...
>since you knew each other it was always you and her against the world
Feel like going for a ride today, Set?
>''Yes!'' She was probably waiting for you to ask
>''Let's get moving!''
>Neither of you like what's happening in the world right now
>But the garden gets awfully boring sometimes
>You slip your helmet on

>POV, Setsun
>Your heart is slowly beating faster
>You're not sure why, but it's fun doing things you aren't allowed
>There wasn't much of that back in Equestria, everything was so... good.
Think we'll get caught this time, Ave?
>You know where those... those...
>helicopters, right.
>you both know where they're headed, you've snuck in before.
>''C'mon, if there was any question we wouldn't be talking.''
>you see him flash a grin under his helmet
>Not getting caught has kind of become a thing for you and Avier,
>It became kind of necessary while running from the ASC, and the habit just stuck. During the flight, you also found out you both had a talent for it.
>Avier has started the bike, and motions to you
>you smear grease on your flank, staining the light blue with black; but you ignore it.

>POV, Avier
>The military station wasn't far away, less than an hour down the road
>About a mile down from the cutoff you stashed the bike in some bushes off the road
>from there, you hiked through the forest to the perimeter
>The fence was only about three feet from the forest line
>not exactly maximum security
>You can see the helicopters sitting on the landing strip, and the smell of heavy machinery is in the air
>One of them has only just landed
>You signal to Set, she knows the drill
>her horn glows and you two are on the other side of the fence
>You quickly make your way to a crevice between the fence and a windowless guardhouse
>You both peek around the corner, there's several people leaving the helicopter
>Nothing special there...
>Hold on a minute
>One of them looks different
>There's a certain posture to his step, and his coat was adorned in medals and badges
>You and Set exchange a curious look
>What's such an important looking person doing here?
>You don't know much about military practices, but you'd never pass up an opportunity to learn
>Without any formalities, he marches into the building. He looks like he's in a hurry
>Curiosity mode, activate.
>the coast is clear in a few minutes, and in perfect symetry you both make your way to the main building

>POV, Setsun
>It's tight in this access shaft
>You're shuffling along at a steady pace, Avier right behind you
>Both of you are as quiet as can be
>Going only by guesses and the sound of commotion, you two have been tailing that important looking guy
>Eventually you lose him, but you've found out where he's going
>You know where it is, and you eventually make your way there
>as you approach it, you hear someone yelling and stop dead
>Avier bumps headfirst into your flank, trying his best not to make a noise
>What did you just hear? Something about time...
>''It's that fucking bitch Celestia's fault... she has no idea how to fight a war!'' the speakers voice was very low and rumbly. It was almost resonating in the shaft.
>You both lean your faces into the grill so you could hear every word
>Avier's heart was beating rapidly, you could hear it this close to him
>yours was as well
>''Not important right now,'' A second voice spoke, ''ETA on nearest garrisoned air force?''
>''At least fourty minutes. They're not wasting any time, commander. Just making a destructive beeline across the garden.''
>Commander
>Here?
>''They're up to something. And there's something Celestia's not telling us.''
>You looked into Aviers eyes, and he looked straight back
>there was a feeling in the air that you hadn't felt in a long time,
>Worry.
>The unknown commander's gruff voice breaks the silence,
>''Shall we begin evacuation?''

>You jumped a little bit
>Fear welling up from the darkest parts of your mind
>Was this actually happening?
>The ASC are assaulting the garden. Your home.
>This is actually happening.
>Again.
>Tears feel like escaping your eyes, but you hold them back
>Avier is mouthing something to you furiously, you only just noticed
>He's gesturing to leave urgently
>Right, we've got to get the buck outta here

>POV, Avier
>Leaving the compound was easier than infiltrating it
>And once you broke through the tree line, stealth was completely disregarded
>You both ran, until you were out of breath
>Stopping, you plant yourself on a mossy rock
>Set throws her arms around you and buries her face in your shirt. It's at least a minute before she talks,
>''I can't believe it's happening again.'' a little sob escapes her, but no tears.
>I can.
>Better not say that out loud.
We had less than fourty minutes... and that was at least twenty ago.
>''You're right. We're still in hot water...''
>Fuck.
>Everything's falling apart again.
>There are sirens going off in the distance, more than barely audible.
>As you approach the side of the road where you hid your motorcycle, armored trucks drive by single file and the sirens are now blaring in the distance
>Shattering the illusion of peace you'd held to for almost a year.

>The trucks had soon passed, and you wasted no time getting on the road to town
>Set hasn't said a word since before
>can't blame her.
>As much as you two loved getting into trouble, the thought of your home; the ony place on earth where you could escape the bloodshed, being turned into a warzone
>You feel sick with anxiety, but focus on the road
>As you approach town, everything seems the same. Not unbelievable, there wasn't much going on on a day like this anyways.
>Aside from the sirens though, everything is deathly silent.
>You idle at an intersection to try and listen for some kind of noise,
>''Have we missed our last train out?'' The town only had about a hundred people living in it, it wouldn't take them long to evacuate.
We... We just may have, Set.
>You felt her inhale as you said that, and her grip on you tightened.
Snap out of it, Set!
>You're not even looking at her as you speak, there isn't enough time for formalities; you could be dead in a few minutes.
Everything's gonna be alright, I think I know where everyone's gone.
>You shout as you pull off down the road, the front wheel threatening to pull up under the acceleration
>the outskirts of a bigger city were only about 30 miles down the road. You could make it.
>You'd have to.
>So many things had to be answered now.
>You didn't know where you'd go now
>You didn't know what to do now
>those mysteries had to be solved once you're out of danger,
>But reality wasn't feeling forgiving today.

>A low rumble could be heard over your engine, quickly getting louder
>You could only utter a quick 'Oh SHI-' under your helmet as a jet passed by, coming from behind and to your right
>It zoomed overhead, seemingly ignoring you
>Then the road about a hundred feet ahead of you burst into flame, sending chunks of ashpalt in all directions
>Trying not to let the shaking earth throw you off balance, you slam on the brakes
>They lock up, making your tires skid down the road
>A sizeable chunk of debris knocks against your visor, cracking it and dazing you
>Several more batter the front of your bike
>You hear a crunching noise;
>you continue to hold the brakes though, and eventually you start to come to a stop
>Suddenly a thought comes to you,
Set?
>She was still behind you
>Thank god
>But as soon as you called her name she disappeared in a blue glow
Wait, wh-
>You had stopped about five feet from the crater
>and were too dazed and distracted to put your feet down
>WellFuck.jpg

>POV, Setsun
>As soon as the bike came to a stop, you magicked yourself off
>Materializing a few feet away, you stop to catch your breath
>when you hear a crunch, the sound of metal scraping on the ground,
>And Avier swearing at the top of his lungs
>With your magic you start lifting the bike off his left leg, he's using his right to push it off as well
>In a few seconds he pries himself free
>''Off the road, now!''
>Not hesitating, you comply
>As you both charge off to the tree line on your left, you notice there are more explosions going off in the distance, although far and few between judging from the sound
>There's also a ringing in your right ear
>The two of you run for about 50 yards, when you find a small depression in the mossy undergrowth and duck for cover there
>Small booms can be heard in the distance, but aside from that all you can hear is eachothers' heavy breaths
>''Set, your arm!'' Avier hissed to you,
>Your right foreleg was coated in blood
>You cant help but gasp a bit, but you soon realize its nothing bad
>Sighing in relief, you hold it up and twist the joints a bit
Just a flesh wound, see?
>Avier, not convinced, tears off a part of his cotton undershirt and starts wrapping it around the gash
>Not resisting, you giggle under your breath, feeling lightheaded from the sudden calm
You cynical bastard, I have plenty of blood...
>''Getting hurt doesn't make you any tougher,'' He flashes you a grin
Not even a little?
>''Well, maybe a little.''
>You both chuckle a bit, then go silent
>the silence goes on for half a minute, but you can hear more jet planes passing by nearby, a helicopter or two off in the distance
What are we going to do now, Ave?
>You were now officially caught up in a battlefield,
>Lost,
>disoriented,
>alone.
>''I just don't know, Set.''
>''Maybe you should come with me.''

>Both of you flipped over to look at whoever was talking
>A man was crouched in the brush not three feet away from you
>You had to assume he was a soldier, as he wore the distinguished camoflauge outfit.
>You couldn't help but notice one of his hands hovering over the handgun in his holster, and he wasn't hiding it
>''I wouldn't pass up that opportunity if I were you.'' he backed off and started moving through the woods
>Luckily, if his uniform was any indication, he was UR.
>As if you had any choice, you and Avier exchanged looks, then follow suit.
>After about a five minute trek into the woods, you spot another soldier
>He gestures over to you and exchanges a quick look with the one who found you earlier
>''I didn't know we were taking in refugees, corporal!''
>''I didn't know we werent.'' he retorted, leading you close, then signaling you to stay
>The first soldier knocked on the mossy rock outcrop behind the second soldier.
>wait a minute, that wasn't rock... It was a truck.
>That was ONE good paint job it had
>A panel slid open on the side of the vehicle, and he muttered something inside, the second soldier keeping his combat rifle trained lazily in your direction
>The panel abruptly slid the rest of the way open, revealing the inside of the vehicle where another soldier stood imposingly
>behind him, a gray stallion stared at you without facing you.
>The man inside took a step out,
>''Civillians, eh?'' His accent was rough and confident
>''Captain Tanner, pleased to make your aquaintance. This here's corporal Muller,'' He gestured to the second soldier
>''And corporal Pent.'' He gestured to the soldier who found you
>He sounded like he was considering stopping there,
>''And just so we're clear,'' He continued, ''Sit down, shut up, and do what we say.''
>''And we just might all survive.''

>he gestured into the truck as he withdrew a cigarette from a pocket,
>''Pop a squat wherever you want.''
>Well this guy was peppy.
Who's that stallion?
>The Captain stopped in the middle of striking a match,
>''That's warrant-officer Gale. Although you probably won't need to know that.''
>Celestia, you could almost feel the air get cold when he said his name...

>POV, Avier
>What an ominous-looking stallion.
>once you got a closer look at him, you could tell he was wearing some kind of thin body armor, which was adorned with oddly-shaped containers
>Better just ignore it
>Set looks nervous,
>you give her a little pat on the back of her neck, and start walking into the truck
>she follows
>As you sit on a wall-mounted bench, she jumps up and cradles herself in your lap,
>The three men outside were chuckling over something; you weren't exactly listening.
>you finally realize that you're actually pretty tired.
I wonder what's in store for us next...
>You barely mutter the words in your throat, but they act like some kind of trigger phrase
>Set throws her arms around you and buries her face in you shirt again, soundlessly
>Only this time there were tears.
>You lean your head down and hum softly in her ear:
dont cling to the thought we both get by
on savoring moments of you and I

in the hands of time we all will die
but dont look up at me and cry

when the race is run and the river dry
and ash clouds rise to touch the sky

as long as we live side by side
we'll never have to say goodbye

>"Could you read to me again?" She asks, her big, hopeful smile widening.
"Maybe next time, Twilight- I need to work."
>"But you always work!" The little filly pouts, crossing her front hooves in some amount of defiance.
>You spot the large picture book she had left by your chair.
>It's still new- you got it for her yesterday.
>Seeing how she liked reading so much, Twilight burned through them extremely quickly.
>You'd buy her a library if you could, but your income isn't exactly high.
>Not to mention you having to take care of another mouth (albeit small) in the house.
"Anyway, you can read by yourself, run along now." You try to reason with her.
>"But I can't read to myself with my eyes closed!" She shoots back.
"And why would you need to close your eyes?"
>"Because then I can imagine the story happening! Now come on!" She tugs on your leg, pulling it weakly with her magic.
>Even with her magic, Twilight seems to be struggling, you can see the strain all over her face.
>She also looks like she's leaning away from you, as if she's doing the pulling herself.
>You can't help but to smile, and turn away from your monitor for a second.
>Even though it is pointless, she keeps at it, not willing to falter.
>Defeated by her sheer want and will, you pretend to shout, and gently lay next to her.
"Ouch."
>Twilight's magic ceases, as she opens her eyes to see her 'handiwork'.
"You got me." You say, the same soft smile on etched on your face.

>Turns out Twilight was leaning a bit too much, resulting her a momentary loss of balance.
>She plops to the carpet chin-first, letting out a little 'Oof' as she fell.
>Her lower torso is up in the air, Twilight's back hind legs shaking in the air.
>You give her a gentle tug to the side, dropping her to her flank.
>You give a little scratch on her belly, eliciting a laugh from her.
>Her legs fruitlessly kick at the general direction of your hand, but her uncoordinated flailing barely even lands a hit.
>You get on your feet, and take the book under your arm.
"Fine, but just this book."
>"Yay!" Twilight quickly rolls to her hooves, and dashes ahead of you.
>When Twilight reaches the room door (and also yours) she gets on her hind legs, and gives it a push with her front legs.
>The door budges barely, but it gives off room for her to fit through.
>You easily open the door upon arrival, already spotting Twilight climbing into her 'bed'.
>It was actually a baby crib you found in a garage sale, and while it was cheap, you had to apply lots of maintenance to it.
>Other than that, it fit the tiny filly so well, along with her most valued items.
>You make your way to the bed, not forgetting to help her last leg up.
>She rushes under her blanket, only her tail and head poking out.
>She finally comes to a halt when she rests her head on the pillow, her fore legs pinning the blanket down on her chest.
>You sit by her bed, and flip open the book.
>The two of you are enraptured by the 'new book' smell.

>You clear your throat and begin to read.
>Twilight closes her eyes, and begins to drift off to sleep.
>Good night, Twilight.

>Once you have made sure she's asleep, you silently creep out of the room.
>Closing the door silently, you creep over to your computer, and continue your work.
>After what seems like hours of mindless tapping on the keyboard, your report seems to take its metaphorical shape.
>A quick glance at the clock tells you it is way over midnight.
>You sigh and go for your third cup of coffee.
>Once that's done, you return to your workstation- back to the tedious work.
>You hear a creak behind you, and you almost jump into action.
>... Which was to lazily turn your head to the noise's source.
>Your room door is unhinged, and you see a tiny pony crawling away from it.
>Twilight had her blanket over her, dragging like a giant cloak.
>You lift her off the floor immediately, and head for the room again.
>Twilight yawns once and digs into your chest.
"What are you doing, up so late?" You ask.
>"W-what are you doing up so late?" Twilight mutters in her drowsy state.
>You ruffle her mane a bit, and cradle the filly.
>Soon enough, you are tucking her back in.
>Even as she yawns and fights back the sleepiness, she continues to struggle.
"What's up now, Twilight?" You ask, wondering if your coffee has gone cold.
>"Read- reading..." She mumbles.
"Reading? The book?"
>Well, what else.
>She nods once.
>You pick up the book and sit by the bed again.
>But as you begin to read, Twilight begins to show discomfort.
>"No, not like that." She whines.
"Well then, what do you want?" You ask, slightly annoyed.

"Do I really have to do this?" You ask again.
>"Shhh!" Twilight silences you, bringing a hoof up her lips.
>You groan audibly and cross your arms.
>You really had to finish that report...
>Twilight taps your head a few times, telling you to listen.
>Turns out Twilight wanted to read to you.
>You didn't get with her insistence, but you complied anyway.
>You'd rather not argue with a filly late at night.
>"Are your eyes closed?" She asks.
"No." You reply bluntly.
>She taps your head again, but much harder this time.
>You frown once, but you do as she asks.
>Twilight clears her throat- like what you always do- and begins to read.
>"Once upon a time..."
>The void suddenly becomes a castle, and you see the princess and her knight.
>The dragon descends from the clouds and the castle is besieged.
>The story soon fades away, replaced by a deep slumber.
>Twilight is sprawled on your head, asleep as well.
>You won't get your report in time, but at this point you really can't care.
>Goodnight, Twilight.

>Today I found that, if a lightning bolt hits your television and creates some weird portal, don't trust it.
>Especially if a fiction character comes out of it like if I was watching "the ring" comes right out.
>I kinda found it hard to believe something like this would ever happen, but I guess there are some things in the universe that even man can't predict
>I woke up to the her scent
>Berries with a hint of mint
>She was silently snoring the house away since she had to take in the whole "I'm an earthp0ny not a..earth p0ny!"
>To my surprise she actually fell asleep
>"Berry Punch" was the name she went by and I guess..
>This is my story.
>It was a typical Monday morning, I took a shower, looked for decent clothes to wear, flicked on the tv, made my self a cup of tea and made some toast.
>Watching the news it was said that "Burar's Comet" would fly over tonight
>It was said that it brings unusual weather along with several shooting stars
>I can't say I'm much for looking at the sky, but this did sound interesting
>My alarm rang and that was my cue to skidattle
>The morning breeze gently caressed my cheek and neck as I walked out the front door
>Unchained my bike and continued to school
>A few long hours pass and soon I was getting ready to leave but suddenly I encountered one of my fellow colleagues

"Hey, um. Would you like to go out with me and see Burar's Comet tonight? I-I mean you don't have to but if you can...I'd really wouldn't mind."
>Ah, yes, Vix. She was a good friend of mine way back when. I was probably a simpler version of my self when I was around her. She always seemed like she wanted to be in a relationship with me ever since middle school. Then again I did kinda help her fend off some bullies. Bullies.... geez. Anyways, she supposedly fell in love with me and well..I don't know how to deal with such things so I just consider her as a sister. A really, REALLY, clingy sister.
>I came up with an excuse so that I wouldn't have to go
>She fell for it, but she didn't look all that happy about it, depressed even.
>It's around 5-6 pm by now, I was biking my way home when the clouds are are slowly forming to make a spiral in the sky. It was kinda dark, looked like rain clouds or somethin'.
>I'm finally at home.
>I put my bike in the den since it looked like a storm was 'a brewin'
>Opened the door, flicked on the light's, scavenge the house for the damned remote again, then found a comfortable spot on my favorite couch.
>I was watching MLP FiM as I usually do, just so happens to be a marathon at this hour too (which is currently 11:23pm)
>I hear the roaring thunder out side. It almost scared me to my death, Why can't they shut up?!

>"damn thunderstorms, ruining my show, scaring me to my grave..wanna punch it"
>This goes on for some time now. Thunder, thunder everywhere.
>Then I saw a bright blue/green flash of light
>It was the comet
>It sped by the the sky along with a couple of stars
>It hid behind a cloud and then. Vrrshhhvumvumbrrrr
>A surge or colorful lighting strikes my tv antenna and turns off all the power in my house
>For a brief moment it was dark
>Then my tv screen flashed several colors at once then went to static
>I see a-a pink? No. Plum? Yeah, colored...hoof? Come out of the tv and by now I'm thinking that I'm cursed or something I kept repeating "is this how I die?" over and over again
>What was I suppose to do in this situation? God failed me. I knew it.
>I see a mouth phasing through the screen and it silently said "help, pleas-"
>A plum colored p0ny fell right out of my tv and just asked for help. wut do?

For a moment, when the planets align on a harvest moon on a cloudless night, they say that a mirror pool is created from one world to another. It lasts for just a minute, but during this time, any who stumble across this mirror can view the exact opposite side of the universe through it. Billions of miles away, it reflects in a planet distant to our own, where hundreds could gather to see it.
On this night, at the right time, at the right place, Anon finds his pond reveals the world of Equestria.
Twilight Sparkle, on the other hoof, stares into the lonely pond one night, in Ponyville's garden, to find not her reflection, but Anon's.
Curious, Anon reaches a hand out to touch the pool of water, disturbed to think that he's hallucinating. Just as Twilight uses her magic to inspect the pool, the reflection catches a view of her horn and the pool violently returns the image upon her. Suddenly, the mirror is shattered into a bright, white hole, curving downwards into nothing but light.
As the bell in Ponyville rings for twelve o'clock, the portal doesn't disappear as it should. Her magic locked the connection between the two worlds, and shattered the veil between them.
Anon's hand sticks out of her glowing white light, and quickly withdraws. Scurrying to his home, he hides behind his fence, staring intently at the new doorway before him.
In Canterlot, Celestia suddenly awakens with a start. She felt something happen to her world. Something wrong. Luna bursts through the door into her chambers, panicking herself.
"Celestia, the planets... they're aligned."
"And the problem is?"
"They won't move."
-
Gazing through the telescope, Celestia quickly swivels to Mares. Using her magic, she tries to move it herself.
"I already tried, Sister. Did you feel it?"
"It woke me up, too."
Celestia drops her eye from the viewing piece, forgetting to latch the telescope back in place as its reflection suddenly glows white. It has fallen upon Ponyville.
"Luna... do you remember the last time the Lunar Mirror Pool appeared in Equestria?"
"I do. Could it have appeared again, this night, Sister?"
"It did, actually. And unfortunately for us, it appears as if somepony has cast magic in the reflection of it.
Luna's eyes widen.
"No... the reflection will... Celestia, what does this mean?"
"It means that somewhere, beyond our influence, a planet is now tied magically to our own. The planets are now satellites, Luna. Do you know what this means?"
Luna remained silent, her hooves planted firmly on the ground.
"Prepare the guard. We have to be sure they aren't violent. If worse comes to worse, call the elements of Harmony. We may have to destroy the rest of our Solar System."

A: Nonsense, Flutterbutter, you said we should have breakfast sometime.
>Anon invites you to see on the foot of the bed and sets up a short stack with some syrup poured neatly across

>Maybe, just maybe, if you figure out Anon's fetish this time, he'll take you into to his life with open arms
>You flutter up to the bathroom mirror above the sink and look deeply into your reflection
F: I just know Anon loves me, if only I can figure out what he wants
>Your reflection stares back at you and you hear your voice in your head
FlutterReflection: Oh, Fluttershy, you're perfect the way you are. Just be yourself and tell Anon you love him
F: B-but, w-what if he says, "N-no"?
FR: He won't, because you know he loves you too

>The bathroom door opens up for the first time in a while

>Anon fidgets in place for a moment and you think you're onto something

A: FlutterButter, this is no time for impersonation! I need to pee
F: I-I'm trying t-to ask you s-something important
>You squeak and try to force it out of yourself again
F: I want you t-to know that... I...
>You start panting

>Anon leaps over you and pushes you out the door with a shove of his foot
>You hear the door slam shut and lock quickly
>Anon lets out a little cheer as you hear him tinkle
>He sighs, shivers and makes half a dozen other noises of relief
F: Oh, Fluttershy, you loud mouth
>You are sad that you couldn't admit your true feelings for Anon and that you didn't even guess his fetish
>Anon reappears after a moment and you part your legs to see him standing above you
A: Look, FlutterThighs, we've done this whole "guess-my-fetish" routine for so long now. Can't we get past FlutterDome?
>You sigh a defeated sigh and stand to your hooves
F: You're right, Anon, we need to stop wasting what time we have together
>You turn around and present your hindquarters to Anon
F: Go ahead, just use my delicate, little flank. I won't scream or cry or worry about love anymore
>You wiggle your backside at Anon
A: I know you know that I never said I was going to have my way with you
F: But, I know you want it
>You are sure he wants it
A: I never asked for this
F: B-but, who gave you medical attention after you fell from the window?

A: You did, after pushing me from the window...
>Anon is so dreamy when he recalls time spent together

FR: Fluttershy, tell him how you really feel!

>They are right! You need to tell Anon once and for all
>Time to be a big filly
>You turn to face Anon and stamp your hooves into the ground
>Bracing yourself, you prepare to say that hardest thing you ever had to say
F: ANON, I LOVE YOU!

>You think for a moment
F: AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME!
>Anon steps back for a moment and appears to be surprised
A: FlutterShutter, I... I don't know what to say. I didn't know you felt so strongly about this
>You realized you used caps lock the entire time
F: It's true, Anon, it's all true. I've been feeling this way for ages now
>Anon looks at you with a skeptical grin
A: Is that why you've been driving me insane with your constant need to know my fetish?
F: Y-yes
>Tears well in your eyes as you begin explaining
F: I thought that you'd love me like I love you if I knew
A: That doesn't make any sense...
F: I want you to love me, I would do anything for it
A: That... makes more sense, but is even more crazy than how you first explained it
F: Love -is- crazy, Anon
A: I know this feel
>Anon places his cool hand to your face and wipes your eyes
>You look up at him with hope
A: FutaShy, you're my friend. At least, as much as a friend as any other pony from Equestria. Don't you see that this love would be... difficult, to say the least?
F: W-what's so difficult about love?
A: For starters, you're a pony. A wonderful, adorable, yellow pony. But, still, a pony. I am a human. We're kind of different
F: Oh, no, Anon, that's not completely true. When I first saw you in Ponyville, I was really attracted to you. You were so handsome and different than everyp0ny in town
A: Because I'm a human
F: You might not believe me, but, I was very shy around other ponies
>Anon stares at you
A: You don't say!
F: And, y-you, you didn't remind me of anyp0ny. I thought I w-would be closer to you
A: Your hearts in the right place
>Anon drags his finger in a small crisscross over your chest
A: But, I don't think you understand everything I'm saying. You see, there are some... compatibility issues... you know? I'm human, you're a mare...
F: O-oh, yes, I thought of that too
A: You what, mate?

F: I m-mentioned it to Lyra, she's an expert on human myths, and I read her book. I, uh, I saw the pictures. I t-think you have everything I need, Anon
>You blush at the thought of discussing this in further detail
A: If I think I understand what you're implying...
>Implying you weren't being clear enough
A: Then there's still a problem we'd have to work out
F: Anything, Anon, just tell me what it is!
>Your heart skips a beat
>You've never felt so happy in all your days
A: Well, humans are suppose to be with humans. It would be really hard to explain to anyone or anyp0ny. How would you go about that?
F: If I had you, I wouldn't give a flying-feather about anyp0ny's opinion, i-if that's ok with you?
>You lose a little confidence as Anon looks at you and clasps his hands over his face
A: Ah, ok, sure. That'll probably work
>You explode with all the pent-up emotion you've endured
F: Woohoo! Anon finally accepted me! Oh, this is the best day of my life!
>You fly up and spin around
>You want Anon to see you, all of you
>You land beside him and wrap yourself around his leg
F: Do you want to do -that- now?
A: Woah, woah, slow down, FlutterBuns. My body isn't ready
F: Oh, sorry, I... I've been waiting for a long time for this
A: I see. We need to take it a bit slower. I'm not entirely warmed-up to... being physical with you
F: Oh, I can help that. I've seen all of Lyra's source material
>You made sure to thoroughly study every book on how to treat and maintain your human
F: S-sit down on the bed, please?
>Anon looks about for a moment before complying
A: Ah, maybe I should shower first
F: It's ok, it's fine. I want you like this, I want to experience Anon just like this
A: You're pretty forceful when you're horny
>Oh no, Anon started saying lewd things to you
>You feel your wings stiffing and your body quivers
>You pant lightly as you guide Anon to the bed and sit him down
F: Ok, h-h-here I go

>You find the zipper on Anon's pants and grab it carefully in your mouth
>Slowly, you think over and over, Anon would like it that way
>You hear the zipper slide down until it touches the fabric
A: Flutter...
>You look up from his crotch and wave a hoof
>No words, only love now
>You wrap your mouth around the button on his waist and work it open with your tongue
A: Oh, that's a neat trick
>Anon's body radiates its icy-coldness through the open slot in his pant
>Your hot breath mixes through the rising cold and creates small puffs of fog
>The time has come, you're really doing this, this is plausible stuff
>You feel Anon's weight shift as his cool hands trace up your muzzle
>Those nimble fingers play through your soft mane and up your ears
A: Hey... Fluttershy, I... I want to tell you my fetish. I thought you'd want to know after so long
>You look up and give Anon your full attention
>Anon pulls you close to him
>You straddle his hips and he pulls you onto his body
>His cool body is driving your hot skin crazy and his soft breath whispers in your ear
A: My fetish is [spoiler]having a cutie-pie girlfriend who would snuggle with me under the covers nonsexually[/spoiler]
>Your eyes contract into thin points
>It's what you've always dreamed of
F: Oh, Anon, I'm so sleepy...
>All of your libido disappears as you relax into Anon's safe arms
>You want nothing more in this or any other world than to live in this moment
>You sing softly and quietly as you lay on Anon
F: Hush now, quiet now, it's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to bed
>You wrap your body around Anon
>Love is crazy
