HUZAH, I'M FINALLY STARTING THIS! okay, so a few weeks ago, I got back into one of my childhood obsessions, 'The Mighty Ducks' (the cartoon, NOT the live action movies. I've never seen those). and for some reason, I started thinking of Wildwing/Applejack and thought of how well it would work if it really happened. APPLEWING FTW! ahem, ANYWHO, I kept thinking about a Mighty Ducks/MLP crossover and the idea wouldn't leave me alone, so I finally just decided to write a crossover fic. I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Mighty Ducks or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I only own the plot of this story and the character Julia Bennett

It was a seemingly uneventful day in Anaheim, California. But Wildwing and the others knew that any second, something could happen. But for the last few days, things had been strangely quiet. Too quiet, as far as Wildwing was concerned. "something's going on around here" he mumbled to himself, standing in front of Drake One and staring at the blank screen, seeing his reflection slightly in the dark glass. The duck was so absorbed in his thoughts, he didn't even notice when Julia, the ducks' human friend (and Duke's girlfriend) entered the headquarters. She came up behind him, seeing that something was on his mind. "hey, 'Wing"

Wildwing blinked, turning at the sound of her voice. "oh, Julia, it's just you"

"sorry to disappoint" the human said flatly, chuckling a bit. "what's up, Wildwing?"

"nothing at the moment. And that's what's bothering me"

"I kinda figured" Julia said. She was 21 and one of the Ducks' closest human allies. She had met them when she was 19 after one of their hockey games that her father had dragged her along to. She had never really been a hockey fan, but talking alien ducks that also happened to be able to play hockey? Well even she couldn't pass up an opportunity to see that. Her father was really into sports, and had won a contest to meet the ducks after the game (the contest was all Phil Palmfeather's doing, of course, what with hoping to make the ducks even more popular by meeting some fans) and that was how Julia had first met the ducks, hitting it off with Nosedive right away and quickly befriending him.

Hence, she started hanging around The Pond frequently, much to her hesitation at first, since she was very shy and reserved toward people she didn't know well. But she soon found that she got along better then she'd expected with the rest of the ducks, Duke in particular, whom she found herself crushing on right away. She cringed at the thought of the many times Nosedive would teasingly hint to Duke that she liked him (usually when she was right there). She was more then surprised when she and Duke eventually ended up together after several months. After all this time, though, she still sometimes found herself acting shy and nervous around him. Even though it had been almost two years since they'd hooked up.

The human sighed and shook her head at the memories. "Wildwing, I've known you for a while now" she said gently. "I hope you trust me enough when I ask you what's up"

Wildwing heaved a heavy sigh. "I just... I know Dragaunus is up to something... I just know it"

"well there's really no point in obsessing over it, 'Wing" Julia said gently. She sighed and was about to say something else when the doors of the headquarters opened and the rest of the team came inside.

"yo, Wildwing, you okay, bro?" Nosedive asked, a look of concern crossing his face. "you left practice kinda early-" the young duck smiled brightly suddenly. "Julia, hey, glad you're here, babe!"

"hey, 'Dive" Julia said, chuckling as she went over and hugged Duke. "how was the rest of practice?"

"pretty good" Duke said. "I was wonderin' where you went off to. I saw you leave a little while ago"

Nosedive snickered. "yeah, Duke kept getting distracted cause he wouldn't quit looking up in the stands"

"he fell on his tail I don't know how many times because he wasn't paying attention" Mallory said. She and Nosedive were clearly trying not to burst out laughing.

Julia wasn't afraid to laugh a bit. "aww, poor Duke" she smirked.

"yeah yeah, laugh it up you guys" Duke mumbled, rolling his eyes and slipping an arm around Julia's shoulders.

"so is everything okay, Wildwing?" Tanya asked. She too had wondered why their captain had left practice a bit early.

"don't you guys get the feeling something's going to happen?" Wildwing asked, turning and looking at his teammates. They all just stared at him.

"'Wing's worried Dragaunus is up to something" Julia said when she saw the blank looks on the ducks' faces.

"well when isn't that lizard up to something?" Nosedive asked. "we'll just kick his sorry butt like we always do!" he smiled and walked over to Wildwing. "don't sweat it bro, whatever Dragaunus has in mind, we'll be ready for him!"

"see, take it from your brother, 'Wing" Julia said. "we'll be ready, should those sorry Saurians try anything"

Wildwing sighed, nodding slowly. "yeah, you guys are right. I guess it's been so quiet around here, I can't help but think Dragaunus is planning something"

…

"haven't you three found anything yet?!" Dragaunus boomed.

Siege, Chameleon, and Wraith were searching for a new type of fuel that they could possibly use for The Raptor. After so many failed attempts to try and find a useable fuel, Dragaunus had enlisted his minions to steal as much fuel as they could from around Anaheim and try to make a useable fuel themselves. "there's got to be away to combine these substances to where they will work in the Raptor" Wraith said thoughtfully.

"you imbeciles probably just aren't doing it right!" Dragaunus sneered. "and besides that, those wretched ducks will surely begin to get suspicious" he narrowed his eyes as he thought. "we'll need something to distract them..." he chuckled. "I'll send them to the most awful, horrifying world there ever was!"

…

"Apple Bloom!" an orange Earth pony called out, sighing as she waited for her little sister to come out to the orchard with her. Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, Fluttershy and Rarity were also at the farm, having volunteered to help the sisters with their apple harvest.

"I'm comin', sis, I'm comin'!" Apple Bloom called, trotting quickly toward her sister.

Twilight chuckled.

"get a move on, A.B." Applejack said. "Granny wants at least a third of the orchard's cleared out by this afternoon"

"why do we have to get so much of it done in one day?" Apple Bloom asked curiously as the two of them got baskets and walked out toward the orchard.

"because, Apple Bloom" Applejack explained. "what with winter comin' pretty soon, Granny Smith wants as many apples picked and ready for usin' as soon as possible"

"oh" Apple Bloom nodded.

"thanks for volunteering to help us out, y'all" Applejack said to her friends.

"not a problem, Applejack" Twilight said.

"yeah, we're more then happy to help!" Pinkie said brightly.

"who knows, there might be an apple pie in it for y'all when we're done" Applejack said, giggling as her friends' eyes lit up.

Apple Bloom sighed and was about to ask something else when suddenly a hard wind picked up out of nowhere, nearly knocking Apple Bloom off her hooves. "Applejack, w-what's happenin'?!" the filly asked nervously.

"I don't know" Applejack said, her voice quivering a bit as the wind picked up a bit more and a bright light flashed up into the sky. "get back to the farmhouse, A.B."

"but Applejack-!"

"now, Apple Bloom, GO!" the orange mare shouted.

Apple Bloom swallowed nervously and nodded, turning and galloping as fast as she could back toward the farmhouse.

The bright light was still in the sky and was swirling around like a twister. "it looks like some kind of portal" Applejack said.

"but who could open a portal way out here?!" Twilight asked. "we're the only ponies around for miles! Aren't we?"

Fluttershy squeaked, nervously flying down and landing beside Rarity and Pinkie.

"everypony just stay on guard" Twilight said. The ponies' eyes widened as seven figures fell from the portal, landing somewhere outside the farm.

"w-what were those?!" Fluttershy asked.

"we've got to investigate" Rainbow said as the portal closed up a few seconds later, the wind instantly fading.

The ponies all quickly trotted off down the road, save for Rainbow, who flew on alongside the others.

"who could possibly have magic powerful enough to open up a portal from such a long distance away from where they are?" Twilight asked.

"the only ponies I know of with that kind of power are Princess Celestia and Princess Luna" Rarity said.

"but they wouldn't just randomly open up a portal and send something through it like this" Twilight said quickly.

"well we'll just have to wait till we find... uh, whatever fell through that portal" Applejack sad as they trotted beneath the archway of Sweet Apple Acres and headed off down the road. It wasn't long before they came across the beings that had fallen from the portal.

"w-what are they?" Fluttershy asked, hanging a bit farther back from the rest of the group.

"maybe they're friendly?" Pinkie suggested, blinking.

"well like I said, everypony be on guard until we can find out just what these things are here for"

suddenly the figures moved. Fluttershy squeaked, shaking a bit.

"ugh, w-what... what happened?" a male voice asked as one of the figures sat up. The ponies came face to face with a...

"i-is that a... a duck?" Rarity asked, her eyes widening a bit.

"I... think so" Twilight said slowly.

Wildwing shook his head, rubbing his temple a bit. he laid eyes on the ponies, a startled gasp coming from him.

"easy, everypony-" Twilight started, her voice low. But before she could finish, Applejack stepped forward, her ears folding back.

"y'all have 10 seconds to explain what the hay you're doin' here!" the orange pony said, stiffening as the duck stood. He was huge, compared to the ponies anyway.

"whoa, what the...?!" Wildwing shook his head. "you... you can talk-?"

"I'm askin' the questions!" Applejack said.

Before Wildwing could answer, the others behind him began to stir. "dude, what happened?" Nosedive asked, standing and looking around. "whoa, Wildwing!" the younger duck's eyes widened when he saw the ponies. "what kind of crazy universe did Dragaunus send us to?!" his eyes fell on Pinkie Pie.

The pink pony tilted her head slightly to the side. "wow!"

"dude, what are you?"

"me?! What are you?!"

the two studied each other for several seconds.

"I'm a duck, dudette"

Pinkie smiled brightly. "I'm a pony!"

Nosedive cracked a smile. "aww no way!" he laughed. "Wildwing, can we keep one, huh, can we?!"

"whoa, slow down, 'Dive-" Wildwing started as Pinkie Pie trotted over to Nosedive.

"you guys are the biggest ducks I've ever seen!" the pink pony said in awe.

"careful, Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow said, narrowing her eyes as the others began to come to. "there's no telling how hostile they might be!"

"us, hostile?" Nosedive shook his head. "no way, man! We come in peace!"

"how exactly did y'all get here?" Applejack asked, her ears still folded back.

"what the, what the fudge happened?!" Julia sat up, looking around. "where did that scaly freak send us?!"

"easy, Julia, it's okay" Wildwing said, turning to the ponies. "I swear to you, we mean you no harm. We didn't come to your world willingly"

"then how did you get here?" Rainbow asked as the other ducks were waking up.

"Dragaunus sent us here!" Nosedive said.

"Dragwho?" Twilight blinked.

"Dragaunus, our enemy" Wildwing said. "we were trying to stop him from stealing different fuel sources for his ship, but he opened a portal and..." he sighed. "and here we are"

"well... you can get back to your own world, right?" Twilight said slowly.

"wait, where the heck are we?" Julia asked.

"this place is really... bright" Mallory commented dryly, standing up.

Duke groaned, sitting up. "what happened?" he blinked, looking around.

"you okay, hon?" Julia asked.

"yeah, I'm fine" Duke mumbled, standing up. "um..." he blinked again, staring at the ponies.

"everyone alright?" Wildwing asked, turning to his team.

Everyone nodded, still staring at the ponies. "what kind of weird world is this?" Mallory asked.

"this is Equestria" Twilight said.

"talkin' ponies" Duke said, sighing. "oh boy" he mumbled, rolling his eyes.

"oh come on, hon" Julia said, smiling. "this place looks fun!"

"it IS fun!" Pinkie said. "it's the most fun place EVER!"

Duke sighed again, clearly already annoyed.

Applejack was still skeptical. "so... y'all were sent here against your will?"

"yes, uh... ma'am" Wildwing said slowly.

"the name's Applejack"

"and I'm Pinkie Pie!" the pink earth pony said.

"well it seems introductions are in order" Wildwing said slowly. "my name is Wildwing Flashblade" he motioned toward the others as he said their names. "this is my younger brother, Nosedive, and the rest of my team; Mallory McMallard, Tanya Vanderflock, Grin Hardwing, Duke L'Orange, and the honorary member of our team, Julia Bennett"

"honorary member?" Julia narrowed her eyes at Duke. "I thought you said it wasn't just an honorary membership-!"

"it's not, babe, really!" Duke said, raising his hands in mock surrender.

Julia sighed and rolled her eyes.

"but she's not a duck" Pinkie pointed out. "In fact, I'm not sure what she is!"

"I'm a human" Julia said. She frowned when she saw the blank expressions on the ponies' faces. "I'm guessing you have no idea what a human is"

the ponies shook their heads. Except for Applejack, who was still looking suspiciously at them.

"please, we could really use your help" Wildwing said, trying to get back to the point. "we have no way of getting back to our world" Applejack and Rainbow were still staring at him and the others with suspicion. Wildwing sighed and got down on one knee so that he was more eye to eye with the ponies. "I give you my word that we mean you no harm"

Applejack started at the gold mask on his face. "if you really don't mean any harm, then why do y'all wear a mask? Just what are you tryin' to hide from?"

"I don't wear it because I'm hiding" Wildwing said. "it allows me to be able to see through anything... but I can understand why you'd be skeptical of it" he slowly reached up and took off the mask, blinking a bit against the sunlight.

Applejack's eyes widened a bit as soon as they looked at each other. A strange feeling made her chest flutter a bit and she cleared her throat, turning to look away from Wildwing.

"please" Wildwing said again, not failing to notice the way the orange pony was suddenly acting differently. "we need your help..."

Applejack and the other ponies looked at each other.

"what do y'all think?" Applejack asked.

"can we trust them?" Rarity asked.

"I'm not 100% sure" Twilight said. "but one thing I do know is that we don't need anypony else seeing them and causing a panic" she sighed and turned to Wildwing and the others.

"so, you'll help us?" Tanya asked.

Twilight swallowed nervously and nodded. "yes... yes, we'll help you"

YAY, finally got this show on the road! what do you guys think so far? be sure to review and let me know! I'll hopefully have the next chapter up soon =D
