My Little Brony
Parody by Tyler Tabor
Chapter 1
Not so long ago a band of three boys in their teen years traveled to a world unseen to man, these boys were named, Tyler, Ben, and Grant.
"Whoa now! Ease up on the drama there, you are making this story sound so drama queen type, I'll take over from here if that's alright, but with no disrespect, Princess Celestia. My name is Tyler, my name was mentioned earlier, the things you are about to read may seem totally weird and out of the normal, but there is a reason for everything, and this book's purpose is to explain what happened when the three of us disappeared."
It was a normal day, me and two of my friends, Ben and Grant. Ben had darker skin than me and grant did, he wasn't Mexican, he was just tan, he also had black hair, and was tall and thin. Grant was white, he had brown hair and he was the shortest of us, he wasn't abnormally short, but he was a little bit shorter than me and Ben were. I am a tall and stocky build white guy.
We were behind a trailer at school talking about the things that were going on at school, home, and other stuff along those lines. I then felt the hair on my neck begin to stand on end, which usually didn't happen when we talked here before. "Do you guys feel that?" I asked, wondering if I was the only one.
"I do, wait what are you feeling?" Grant asked.
"Well, what are you feeling?" I asked not willing to admit I was a little bit nervous about the fact my hair felt like it was floating away.
"The hair on the back on my neck is rising, it actually tickles." Grant replied in his super happy guy attitude.
"Yup, that's what I'm feeling." I said. I then turned around to see if what ever was causing our hair to rise was behind us, what I saw surprised me, the wall that was behind us was no longer there, it was gone, and in its place was a swirling hole, it looked like a portal of some sort. "What the crap is that?" I asked, about ready to freak out.
"Umm, well, it is some green thing of unknown origin, possibly dangerous." Ben said, trying to get us to laugh, I assumed he was trying to lighten up the mood so we wouldn't be as scared as we were, it wasn't working for me. I'm not sure about everyone else.
"Umm, should we go check it out?" I asked, hoping the answer was no.
"Well, HECK YES." Grant said, obviously wanting to go.
"Why don't you go first?" Ben suggested, TO ME.
"Umm, sure, why not." I then began walking towards the portal, about ready to run away towards the safety of home screaming, the only thing that stopped me was when a woman's head poked out of the newly arriving portal, I didn't get to see much of her but I could see she had, purple hair with a pink highlight going through the center of it, for some odd reason it really caught my eye, the reason I didn't have time to fully determine her features is because as soon as she saw us she quickly pulled her head back inside. "Ok, that's some thing you don't see every day." I said, continuing to walk towards the portal. I then began to float, but I obviously didn't know that because I was still walking, while suspended in midair. The only way I found that out was when Grant yelled it to me.
"Tyler, what on earth are you doing?"
"What are you talking aboOOUTT!" I said interrupted by a sudden yanking, then I was in the portal, all I saw was a bright flash then rainbow colors as I drifted through whatever this thing was, then my body started to go all spastic and started making all kinds of strange sounds. I stopped focusing on what my body was doing, when I was thrown to the ground by the rainbow thing I had just been in. "Aye." I said to no one as I hit the ground. I then saw a figure run off and noticed a particular detail about this person, purple hair. "Hey excuse me can I talk to you a sec AHHH." As I was talking I tried to stand up, experienced an epic fail moment, and fell back down, it was as if my legs weren't designed for a person to stand on, which was crazy because I had been walking on my legs since I was three. I then brought my hand to my head, but when it touched my head it felt hard and rounded, I then opened my eyes and noticed why it felt so hard, it no longer was a hand, it was a hoof. I then screamed, startled by the fact that my soft fleshy hand had become a gray hoof. I then started to see what else had changed and noticed that I was covered in a light gray fur and that I was turned into, a Pony.
"Geronimo!" Grant said from behind me, snapping me out of my momentary trance, before falling on me.
"Incoming!" Ben then said, landing on me as well.
The load wasn't heavy until Ben got on which was a bit strange to me.
"Get off me," I was a little unhappy about the fact that I had become an instant couch.
"Whoa buddy, Tyler, what did you do to yourself?" Grant asked me, probably noticing that I was a pony.
He probably wasn't ready to see himself as a black and white pony with brown hair, so I scoffed and said, "You think I look bad? You should see yourself." I was hoping I would scare the pee out of him.
When he turned his head to see, he said, "Sweet, I'm a pony too, and Ben as well. This is the best day of my life." He took it way better than I did.
"Nice." Ben said, also okay with his new change in species, he had navy blue fur with black stripes like a tigers that stretched all the way down his back, he still had his black hair though.
"Okay now that we've seen what we look like as ponies, let's get out of here." I said, turning around, I was pretty much done being a pony, I was ready to be at home happy to be a human being and not some animal, I then stopped, "Where'd it go?" I asked, noticing that the thing that brought us here was now gone.
"Oh, that thing? It disappeared after I came in." Ben piped up, and smiled, after I noticed it was gone.
"Oh great, now were stranded here." I said as I was turning around. "Well I'm up for suggestions." While I was looking at my team members I noticed a golden colored thing on Ben's rump. "Holy crap! What is that?" I said pointing my right hoof at it.
"What are you talking about?" Ben said turning to look at his rump. "Oh, check it out; I've got a key on my rump. That's freaking awesome." Ben was obviously excited about his new tattoo. It looked like one of those old keys used in castles, but it was golden.
"Hey guys, I've got some thing like that too, only it's not a key, it's like Galaxy gasses with two stars." Grant screamed from where he was, he could have been jealous about Bens mark and had to see if he had one of his own, or had other reasons to check him self out.
"Wait a minute, if you two have one, then I might have one too." I said, turning my head unnaturally far to see the side of my rump. "Well, look at that, I've got a mark too, an assortment of tools, a pickax, a shovel, and a sword. Now that's pretty freaking awesome."
As soon as we finished checking out each others "marks", a loud whirring sound rang out over the valley, causing all of us to jump.
"What was that?" I asked the others, knowing that everyone else was probably just as confused as I was.
"Well, gee, I really don't know." Grant said, with a weird tone in his voice.
"Yea, thanks for the help, that really clears thing up." I said, sarcastically.
"Well, were stuck here anyway, why don't we go see what that thing is instead of waiting here, hoping that thing we saw earlier comes back around." Ben said, obviously unimpressed by mine and Grants bickering.
"Now there is some information I can use." I said, finishing my little remark I made earlier.
After we walked for what felt like hours, we were all tired and ready for a break, but we figured we must have been getting close to the sound we had heard earlier. After all, that thing was fairly loud and I got the feeling that it wasn't far from our location as it was.
"We….were…almost….whew….almost…..there, at least… I….at least I….hope….hope so." I managed to choke out, I was thirsty and out of energy. I was also beginning to get a little antsy. When we topped the rise, all we saw was more valley, a couple trees, and a blue box. "Well I'll be triple dipped, there's nothing here." My fuse was already short because we were stuck here, I didn't need any more complications to push my buttons.
"Tyler, take a chill pill, all we need to do is see what is here that wasn't here in the other parts of the valley. So what's here that wasn't there?" Ben must have been ready to lose it too, because he never acted like that.
"The little blue box." I said, like a little boy who was in trouble would have.
"Yes Tyler, good job." Ben then said in a kind of sing song voice, made me feel like I was in kindergarten again.
"Well then, I'm not going to hold up this wagon." I said, and began walking towards the box that now dominated the area.
I then lifted up my hoof and said in a hushed tone telling Ben and Grant "Stop." The reason I made them stop is because I heard voices, on the other side of the blue box we were now pressed up against, one male, and one female.
"Oh, how do you pick up things with these hoofs?" the male said.
"Umm, well it's kind of hard to explain, but you pick it up, like this." The female then replied.
I then poked my head out from around the box and saw the female holding something with the shape of a cylinder, in her hoof, she was gray, the same color that I was, and she had blonde hair, and the mark she had were bubbles, but the strangest thing about her, was the fact that her eyes were crossed. The male however, had a British accent, he was slightly taller than the mare was, had brown fur with dark brown hair, and his mark was an hourglass.
"We can do that?" I said, after pulling my head back behind the box we were using for cover.
"Do what?" Grant then asked.
"Pick stuff up with our hoofs." I said, "That girl over there was just picked up some cylinder shaped thing."
"Technically she is a mare." Ben said, making sure I knew what her proper name was.
We then heard the clopping of hoofs; they were getting quieter so I assumed that they were leaving.
"I think they're gone." I said poking my head out from behind our blue piece of cover. "Yup, they are gone. I don't know about you, but I'm going to follow them, I know it's rude but I would like to see where they are going. I mean these people, um excuse me, ponies are a lot like humans, they can pick things up, even though they don't have opposable thumbs, they can talk, who knows, they might have a city of some sorts." I was hoping there was one, because that might make this place feel a little more like home.
After we followed the pair of ponies for a while, I noticed I wasn't as tired as I was before, it must have been because we were walking downhill this time, or we were feeling cool and didn't notice the exhaustion.
The male and female only made small talk obviously not really interested in a real conversation, the male at one point asked a branch if they had ever met before, which I found a wee bit strange.
I was snapped out of my little moment of questioning when my right front hoof caught onto something, causing me to scream out when my face hit the ground.
Of course their attention went straight to me, I then saw those crossed over eyes staring at me, Ben and Grant must have ducked behind some trees, because I couldn't see them.
I then looked behind me to see what I tripped over and found a small root just big enough to catch my hoof. I then stood up, rubbed my head with my left hoof, and began to babble.
"Ok, you got me, Ben, Grant, you can come out now. We are no longer hiding." I said, in a very rushed tone.
It was then that Ben and Grant emerged from the trees they were hiding behind, I bet it looked a little intimidating, I mean think about it, I'm standing in the middle of the path, and two other ponies walk out of the woods from the sides of the trail, I know I would be scared.
I then realized we were dealing with a male and a female, the male might get over protective and protect his partner, so I prepared myself for a fight, but I would never be prepared for what he did next. He came up to us, and started shaking hoofs with me.
"Hello, I'm The Doctor, what might your name be?" The male called The Doctor asked.
"I'm Tyler, what exactly are you the doctor of?" I then asked him, wondering what his profession was.
"No see, I'm just The Doctor." He replied.
"Oh." I said, flashing him a smile.
The Doctor then ran to the rest of my team members to meet them.
The female then got his attention by saying, "Come on Doctor, we still have a ways to go if we are going to make it to the ceremony in time."
"Where are you guys heading?" I asked, wanting to know if they were going to a place where the purple thing we saw earlier might possibly be.
"To a small town, just up this trail." She said, pointing her right hoof just up the trail we had been walking on the whole time. "The town is called Ponyville."
"Mind if we tag along?" I asked, talking for the whole team.
"The female then replied, "You don't need my permission, hold on, I need to see where we are."
I then expected her to pull out a map of some sorts, but instead she spread out two gray wings, and took flight.
I think my jaw dropped, I just didn't feel it until Grant shoved his right hoof into the bottom of it causing my mouth to close.
"Thanks Grant, I think I began drooling." I said, wiping my face of, sure enough, my right cheek was soaked in saliva.
The gray Pegasus pony then flew back down to us and said, "Grand, Taylor, follow me." Then she took flight.
I then yelled back, "It's Tyler, and Grant, and we can't fly." I said, pointing out the obvious.
She then giggled and said, "Don't be stupid, you both can fly."
I then began to think that this pony was a little bit nutso.
"Ok then, how do I fly?" I asked, expecting her to fall silent and admit she was wrong, that wasn't what I got. She simply turned to Ben and The Doctor, and told them to follow up the trail.
"Alright, you will do exactly as I do." She commanded in a sharp tone.
"Okay, lets get going." I said, "I'm interested to see how well I can fly." If I had wings, I was ready to be in the air, no more walking.
"First, take a stretch." The grey Pegasus instructed.
Grant and I obeyed eagerly and as we did, a pair of wing sprang out from our sides.
"Oh my goodness, I have a pair of wings." I exclaimed, happy to see that she wasn't lying. What I didn't notice was that as I was jumping around, my wing began to flap, and I began to fly.
"Whoa, Grant you should come up, the air is nice." I exclaimed with an excitement that I hadn't felt in a really long time.
"I don't know how." Grant said from below me.
"I was going to tell you guys the next step but apparently he's got it." The grey Pegasus said, she was also below me now, it made me feel kind of cool being so far up.
"Now Grant, think about flight, your wings should take over from there." The female instructed.
That was when Grant began to fly; he began to fall off course and veer to another direction, almost flipping over.
I then got smart and decided to show off by zipping past him as fast as I could, I felt like one of the planes circling King Kong.
After a while I got sick of not knowing my teachers name, "So, gray Pegasus, do you have a name?"
"My name is Ditzy Doo, I guess I didn't really give you guys my name." Ditzy replied.
"Yea, not quite. Why don't you finish teaching Grant so we can get to town, I'll bet the Doctor and Ben are already there, probably waiting for us." I said ready to meet up with my friend, I didn't like being away from my friend in an unknown place.
As soon as Grant got to the point where he could fly, without falling, we went on our way.
Within ten minutes, we were coming up on the town Ditzy mentioned earlier, I saw a big building first and slowly as we got closer I saw everything else, the town was mostly made up of smaller buildings that looked like apartments. The sight was amazing.
"Down we go!" Ditzy exclaimed, breaking me from my trance.
"Right behind ya." I exclaimed, charging towards the ground.
I realized I was coming in too fast and begin to glide towards the ground; however I didn't pay attention to the landing part of Ditzy's class and didn't know what to do.
Grant and Ditzy were already on the ground while I was still gliding.
I figured I could teach myself and land nice and easy to the ground. Big Mistake. I came in towards the bridge everyone was waiting on, and overshot, causing me to go into the nearest trash can, I knew that was its purpose when the remains of an apple fritter decided to become acquainted with the side of my head. I then poked my head out of the fairly large trash receptacle, with the half eaten apple fritter still stuck to the left side of my face.
As soon as Grant saw me his eyes opened super wide, his front hoofs came up to cover his mouth, he turned around, and began dying of laughter. As soon as everyone heard him begin to laugh, everyone else joined him.
I found a napkin that looked relatively clean and used it to wipe the stupid pastry that was causing all the laughter off of my face.
"Ok guys, ha ha, very amusing, yup, I get it you all love to see me fall into the dumpster." I said, with a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
"Ok everyone, we need to get to that ceremony and figure out why the T.A.R.D.I.S. brought me here," the Doctor said, stifling a giggle, "So, where is everybody?" the Doctor asked Ditsy.
"You mean, where is everypony?" Ditsy replied.
"No, I meant," the Doctor said cutting himself off, then he burst out into laughter. "Ah, so that's how you say it here, everypony." He said, giggling as soon as he finished.
"Uh, you are a really strange pony." Ditzy said, obviously not impressed.
"Yes, you already said that, many times." The Doctor replied.
"Yea, whatever, what is this ceremony about?" I asked, confused about what she said earlier about a ceremony.
"Well, it's the 1000th year of the sun celebration, it's very important, the princess performs it in different towns at every celebration, and this year she came to ponyville, I'm so excited, speaking of which, we should get over there, the ceremony will start any minute now." Ditzy said, with a sense of urgency in her voice.
"Lead the way!" I said in a commanding tone. "We should probably walk, I don't want to crash into anything else." I said, not wanting to experience humiliation like that again.
When we arrived to the place where the ceremony would be held, everypony in town appeared to be there. The Doctor and Ditzy split away from us, leaving me, Ben, and Grant together. When all of the ponies looked up towards a large balcony, dominating the whole area, we decided we should do the same. When we looked up, we saw a black pony.
"Well, doesn't look like the type of pony to be raising the sun, looks more like, somepony of night." I said, staring at the black pony who apparently rose the sun around here.
That's when all the other ponies began to gasp and whisper, and I got the feeling that this pony wasn't the one who really rose the sun, and my suspicion was confirmed when this pony said her next sentence.
"You all know why I am here, or have you forgotten after all this time?" She said.
"I know why you have come." Some pony said from the front of the crowd.
"Then you should be ready for this." The pony on the balcony said.
"You….. you've come to…" The same pony as before said, before being cut off.
"The night, will last, forever." The abnormally large pony said, and when she finished, she cackled, and lightning flashed, talk about a planned out set of special effects.
Then I took a moment and thought about the things she said, and realized what was going on. Then my wings acted before thinking, I jumped, took flight, and charged the black alicorn that stood on the balcony. What she did next surprised me; she sent a blast of wind at me with her wings causing me to lose my balance. When I hit the ground, my vision began to swim, all the sounds around me were muffled, and I could only faintly see Grant and Ben, rushing to my aid.
To be continued…..
Next time on My Little Brony: Friendship is Survival:
"Okay guys this is what we learned, the small group of ponies are heading to the everfree forest. So that is where we need to go, any questions?" The Doctor said, with a sense of command, as if he was our new leader.
I looked over towards everyone else, and noticed Ditzy looked like she was about to faint from fear.
"Doctor, hold up." I said to The Doctor, while rushing to the aid of my friend. "What's wrong Ditzy?" I asked
"Well, see, the everfree forest is a horrible place, it's really scary. I mean, all the animals can take care of themselves, doesn't that scare any of you?" Ditzy replied, shaking with fear.
I cocked my eyebrow, Grant tilted his head a little, and Ben just stared at her.
"No, it doesn't." I said, confused, wondering why she was so shaken by some animals who took care of themselves.
"We can protect you." Grant said, "after all, there are five of us, and a few of them, we can take any one of them." He said reassuring her, while snapping a branch off a tree with a sharp point.
"When we get back we can have muffins." The doctor said finally convincing her to come.
