AN: Hello my lovely readers and welcome to my crossover. Before we get started, I'd just like to say a few things. This story is written in a Homestuck-esque manner, so you can and should expect chapters to be written in the second person, altering POV, short chapters as a result of natural story flow for something that mimics a webcomic, and on occasion me being a jerk because it's what Hussie would do.

What you should not expect, however, is a story that completely mirrors Homestuck with the only difference being pony protagonists (I can be at least a little more creative than that, I promise), nor should you expect to see members of the Homestuck cast. Not that it definitely won't happen, but I have no intention of dropping characters into a story where they don't fit just because I can. You guys deserve a better story than that.

Are we all set? Yes? Awesome, on with the story!

Friendship is Homestuck

By ScarlettRose94

A young mare stands alone in her library. Today is a very important day for her, as it is the day she will begin playing a game that she received from Princess Celestia a few days ago.

You begin pacing, eager to hear the ping from your computer that will signify that it is time to play. Celestia gave you very specific instructions, stating that this has to be the day you start playing and that all of your friends have to play with you, no exceptions. She explained that your sessions would make a chain, and that the chain would link up when you were all "in the game". That was a strange way of wording it, but you guess that the game must be very immersive.

You have been carefully planning for this day, and now all that is left is to get the message from the first of your friends you will play with. Obviously you wanted someone very trustworthy and reliable to start this game with, so Applejack was the obvious choice. Unfortunately it seems that she chose today to not live up to her title as the Spirit of Honesty, as it is now almost an hour past the time she said she would message you. You walk over to your computer and check PesterHorse again, but there's still nothing there.

You contemplate distracting yourself with one of your many hobbies, perhaps by reading a book or practicing magic or even working on your less than stellar flying skills, but you're so agitated you can't seem to do anything and decide to just collapse in a nearby chair and worry more.

A few minutes pass in this collapsed worried state before a small ping makes your ears perk up. You rush to your computer almost bouncing out of your skin in nervous excitement (or nervoucitement, as a certain friend of yours would call it), until you realize that the pony messaging you is not the pony you'd been waiting for.

AC: TWILIGHT!1!

CA: Hello Pinkie…

CA: I don't mean to be rude, but I am waiting for a very important message right now.

AC: FROM APPLEJACK RIGHT?

AC: Yes. She is going to message me any moment now regarding the game.

CA: OH I KNOW! THATS WHY IM HERE!

CA: Pinkie, before we continue this conversation would you please turn off your caps lock? It feels like you're shouting at me.

AC: IM NOT SHOUTING TWILIGHT, IM JUST EXCITED!

CA: You always have your caps lock on.

AC: IM ALWAYS EXCITED!

CA: Fine, if you insist. Now what are you talking about?

AC: APPLEJACKS REALLY BUSY RIGHT NOW

AC: SO SHE ASKED ME TO PLAY SBARN WITH YOU INSTEAD!

AC: ISNT THAT GREAT? WERE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN!

CA: What? Pinkie, I'm not so sure about this. I have everything very carefully planned out. It's supposed to be me, then Applejack, then Rainbow Dash, then you, then Rarity, then Fluttershy.

CA: This is very important, and with very important things the best thing to do is always to make a solid plan and stick with it.

AC: AWWWWWWW, COME ON TWI! IM GREAT AT VIDEOGAMES, MAYBE EVEN THE BEST OUT OF ALL OF US!

CA: True as that is, this is no ordinary game. Princess Celestia has assured me of that. I appreciate your offer, but I really think we should stick to the plan, so please just tell Applejack to message me as soon as she can.

AC: IF YOU SAY SO, BUT SHES FINISHING ALL HER WORK FIRST SO IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE!

CA: She's doing all of it? Even if she works her fastest that will take hours!

AC: I KNOW! LOOKS LIKE YOURE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE!

AC: OHH! YOU SHOULD COME OVER WHILE YOU'RE WAITING FOR HER! IM TRYING OUT A NEW CAKE RECIPIE AND YOU CAN BE THE VERY FIRST TO TRY IT!

CA: I really do want to get started on this game though. Celestia said we all had to be playing by today.

CA: Well…

CA: Alright, you and I can play now if you would like. I'll just adjust my plan accordingly.

AC: YAY!11!

AC: ILL GET THE GAME NOW AND DOWNLOAD IT! OH THIS IS GOING TO BE SO FUN!1!

CA: Make sure you download the one labeled 'server' Pinkie. Celestia said it was important that I download the client disk first, and you have to download the opposite one for the game to work properly.

AC: OKIE DOKIE LOKIE! ILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS IM READY!

CA: Thank you Pinkie.

You use your magic to float the game disks over to you, select the one labeled 'client', remove it from its sleeve and put it in the disk drive. A download screen appears with a simplistic house icon on it that continuously deconstructs and reconstructs, and you begin what looks like a very long download process.

As you wait, you decide to make good use of your time and get to work on rewriting your plans. After all, a good plan is all but critical to the success of an important undertaking.

However, planning is also very boring, so let's see if we can't be one of the other ponies for a while shall we?
