The Pink Haired Girl

Excerpt from the Veil Guards manual:

If a person\character from a visited universe follows a guard to their home world, they are responsible for their wellbeing until they have been returned.

"Thank you everyone and good night!" Jimmy Fallon said as the credits began rolling down the screen, and Anthony sat on the couch chuckling at the last sketch of Saturday Night Live. He loved the summer nights, not only was school out it also meant warmer nights which didn't require him to use the heavy sheets. He can also stay up late whenever he wanted. And it also meant overtime with missions.

"What else is on?" he said to himself and started channel surfing, he also began to feel that there was something he was forgetting, but he shrugged it off. After watching Bleach and two episodes of Cowboy Bebop he decided he was finally tired and went straight to his room at the end of the hall. Once he was there he looked at his watch and saw it was 2:30 in the morning.

Just another night for me. He thought and pulled off hid jean shorts and put on a pair of jogging shorts as his sleep wear. Before he got in to bed he felt a shiver go down his spine, which normally happened when there was trouble ahead. But he just thought it was the late night ice cream he had. Besides, his senses were always heightened whenever he was this tired, so his body always overreacted like this.

So he slumped on the bed without pulling off the covers and put on his headphones listening to Queen.

"Is every one ready?" Anthony asked the others that were attending the mission.

"Yes sir." Taylor responded.

"Good luck you guys." Patrick told them. Since he could not accompany the others since he wasn't a brony.

"Don't worry Pat." Shelby said to him. "Clarence said he'd have another assignment t for you. When she finished, Anthony gave Jasmine the thumbs up for dispatch in to Equestria.

"Brace yourselves." she announced as she set the coordinates.

This is what all bronies dream of. Anthony thought to himself as a ring of light materialized above them, and started to descend.

"Nervous?" Taylor asked Shelby

"A little." She said as the ring came upon them, feeling their bodies start to change. They felt the texture of their body change, their limbs start to shorten and falling on all fours their necks elongating along with their hair, until it finally stopped.

"Did it work?" one of them asked. They looked around and saw the answer; they were in Equestria.

Anthony awoke in the middle of the night to the smell of cotton candy. What the hell? He thought and looked at his watch that said 3:00 a.m. only a half hour? He closed his eyes again while listening to Bohemian Rhapsody. He opened them again when he felt something next to him. He looked and saw frizzled hair coming out of the sheets in his bed. Thinking he was still asleep he closed his eyes a third time, except this time he heard a familiar high pitched voice that belonged to a certain pink mare.

"Hello!" said the voice, and Anthony's eyes opened, and he slowly turned his head to look right at the face of Pinkie Pie, a big smile right across her face.

Anthony lay in the bed taking in everything he saw. A few seconds later,

"." He yelled as loud as a howler monkey then tried to crawl off from his bed. He only got his torso up off before the rest of him fell on the hard wood floor, hitting his head on his suit case he got at a garage sale knocking his lights out.

He awoke who-knows-how-long later, feeling a bump on his head and a sharp pain in his ass.

"Well, at least I found the stapler." He groaned turning over and seeing the device that punctured his gluteus.

He looked around and saw no one else in the room. "Thank god. I really need to stop watching My Little Pony late at night" he said to himself picking out the staple on his butt

"Why do you have to stop watching stuff at night?" he heard Pinkie Pie's voice say. Stiffening, Anthony turned slowly dreading to face the pink… girl? He looked and what he saw was really not that shocking. It's what happens when you cross universes, your body changes to suit the environment you're in. and pinkie looked… well she looked like Pinkie if she were human, a girl in her late teens, cute round face, light blue eyes and pink frizzled hair. But what really shocked him was

"How the hell did you get here?" pinkie thought about it, looked as though she had it, then went on for half a minute until his patience started to diminish, which pinkie noticed since she finally answered him.

"wellwhenyoucametosaveallthe." Pinkie started talking in her sugar rushed manner until Anthony stopped her and got her to talk more slowly. "Well when you first came to Ponyville and after you and your friends saved all the unicorns I really wanted to see you again So, I... well I don't know what happened, I guess something happened that I can't remember, but now here I am." She finished off with a smile. But Anthony wasn't really in the mood.

"Damn it Clarence is going to kill me!" he said nursing the bump on his head.

Pinkie looked confused at what he said. "Why would your friend kill you-"

"Because you're here!" he yelled at her. But he regretted it because he saw Pinkies eyes start to tear up. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "But it really is a big problem if someone follows me in to my world." She seemed to understand because she went right back to her hyper personality; which was still very cute.

"Well I'm sorry for being such a big problem, but since I'm here now why don't we have a SLUMBER PARTY." She said yelling out the last two words.

"Quiet please! You're going to wake everyone up." He whispered loudly to her. She covered her mouth and silently agreed. "Good now let's-." But a realization came to him- in Equestria they don't usually wear clothes, so if Pinkie pie came it meant.

"Are you not wearing clothes?" he asked.

"Why would I wear clothes? Unless if I was going to a special party, then I'd wear something, but other than that no." then she looked down and saw that by sheer luck the entire time she had the sheet wrapped around her the entire time. "Do I need to wear clothes in your world?"

"If you want to be decent y estar fuera del bote yes." He said half in Spanish, while keeping his eyes covered with his hand. She noticed, and wondered why he was doing it, so she asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Well it's just that it's not right for a guy to look at a girl when she's…" he didn't want to say the rest, but tuned and uncovered his eyes and continued. "Let's just get you decent. And also hang on to the sheets. In fact keep them. Actually burn them." Because he didn't want his mind going crazy with the new image of Pinkie Pie in his head while he slept under the covers. He silently opened the door and looked out in the hall. His sister in the room in front was asleep; he knew that for a fact. He stepped out, and tipped toed through the hall, followed by Pinkie who was staining herself not to burst with excitement in being in another world. They were half way through the hall when he heard a growl come from behind. They looked and saw it was Tommy, Anthony's Labrador, Chihuahua mix, and he was being hostile against Pinkie. That dumb dog.

"Tommy shut up." He said to him but the tiny dog kept on growling, until he did the only thing he could think of: he pounced on him and held his mouth closed. He held on to the dog as he struggled to wrap his shirt around his muzzle.

"Is that what you're supposed to do?" pinkie asked

"The only thing I could think of." He said finally getting up, his dog trying to take off the makeshift muzzle. "Little guy must have opened the door… again." He finished in a defeated tone.

Once they were in the garage they started to look through the dryer hoping that his sister's clothes would fit, even though their size was significantly different. After she made herself decent with a pair of shorts, and a pink shirt, he could finally look at her like a person… or a better translation a pony that's been turned in to a human after passing the dimensional rift.

Pinkie looked at herself in a convenient mirror. It was plain and boring, which wasn't really her bright and flamboyant self. But she thought it was enough. "So where are we sleeping?" Pinkie asked, but Anthony was in the corner rummaging through a large trunk labeled VEIL GUARD PROPERTY. AUTHORIZE PERSONEL ONLY.

"What are you doing?" she asked as he got up and walked to her and put a key on a piece of string around her neck. "What is thing?"

"It's a perception filter." He told her. "It'll keep you unnoticed."

Unnoticed? Why do have to be unnoticed? She thought. And as though he read her mind, Anthony answered.

"Because if my family sees a strange girl in our house who came in out of nowhere, they're going to freak out."

"But why would they do that?" Anthony sighed. Out of all the ponies that could have followed home, it needed to be the one with ADD.

"Just keep it on." He said and went towards a shelf and pulled down some blankets and leading her back in the house and in to the living room. "C'mon we'll sleep in the living room. And once we're up-." but Pinkie interrupted him.

"OH OH OH, I know, let's make cupcakes, then we can go to the park and run arou-."

"We're sending you home first thing." Anthony told her in a slightly loud voice, and when she heard him, she calmed down and suddenly felt saddened.

"But, why do I have to go?" she said in a calm, and sad tone.

"Because this isn't your world. You shouldn't even be able to come here. How you managed it, God only knows." Every word hit her like a sledge hammer, until her hair grayed and flattened out, the way it does when she felt like she hit rock bottom. "Sorry Pinkie, but this is protocol, and I can't do anything that could endanger my world or yours."

"I guess I understand." She whispered her hair turning puffy again. "But can we at least do something tomorrow?" Anthony thought about it, after the barrage of words he gave her, and finally realizing how hurtful it must have been, she probably deserver compensation.

"I guess we could take the scenic route." He said in a calmer mood; which caused him hair to fully frizz up and get super hyper again.

"YYYAAAAAAAYYYYY" she started screaming and cartwheeling; until she met his eyes that said that they might as well leave now. "sorry." she whispered, and took a blanket from him and settled on a sofa in the corner. Then there was scratching at the garage door.

"SHIT Tommy." He said quietly, remembering his little dog that he muzzled.

Pinkie lay in the bed, finally having a chance to study this new was all completely different from her world. The fact that her body changed was the most exciting thing of all and she couldn't wait to go outside; to see what things are different and what could be the same. But another thought came to her: how'd she get here? Was Twilight doing a teleportation spell that went wrong? Or did she walk in to some enchanted relic or temple that brought her here? She couldn't remember. The last thing she can recall was finally crashing for no reason. Probably after so much hyperactivity and sweets over the years. Either way she was happy she was able to visit another world. This definitely beats Rainbow Dash and her sonic rainboom.
