Hey there! Welcome to another off-series story. Had the idea for a while now, and I wanted to write a story with that idea. Hope you all enjoy! *REWRITTEN*

If you found this, it means that I am now dead. That is why I wrote this in the past tense, since all the actions took place in the past.
My name is Jonathan Simmons. At the time of the events, I was eighteen. It all started like this.
Saturday, January 16th, 2038.
I was sitting outside, waiting for my best friends to come by and take me with them. Soon, I saw Jacob's car, an old thing from 2014. He pulled over, and I entered the car. Sitting in the front passenger seat was his girlfriend, Nikki. She and I knew each other since kindergarten.
Nikki was always slightly shorter than me, about an inch or so. She kept her bluish black hair short, mostly because she hated long hair. She had golden brown eyes. Her skin, a little tanned due to her being outside a lot, had no scar or imperfections. It was probably for that reason, and for her eyes, that Jacob fell in love with her. She was the most balanced one of the three of us. She would tamper Jacob's crazy behaviour, and she would also cheer me up and get me going. But she was not to be messed with. When she was pissed off, which was extremely rare, she was able to frighten even the most fierce of criminalized biker. She turned her head towards me.
"Hey, Jo. Ready for the big day?" She asked me.
"Ya bet I'm ready, Nik." I answered her.
"The two of ya keep talkin' 'bout that 'big day'. What's it exactly?" He asked as he drove us to our destination.
Jacob was taller than me by a good six inches. His chestnut hair was always messy and short. He had grey eyes, which were considered unusual, and they always sparkled with all of his determination. His skin was pale, even though he was also outside almost all the time, and he had several scars that were mostly due to him handling knives. He was also quite muscular, doing workout sessions when he was not working. He was the prankster of our little gang. He kept pulling stupid pranks on me, often earning punches from Nikki and glares from me. However, he was also determined and he would never give up, either a friend or a stupid prank.
Nikki and I chuckled. Jacob and Nikki had been dating for more than a year, and let's say they were pretty active. He knew she had wings, and she told him that I also had wings. And he also knew why we had them. Our respective parents were selected to take part in an experiment called 'Pegasus'. That experiment was trying to alter the DNA of embryos so they had wings. Of the ten selected kids, only four survived to the age of five, which was the critical age at which we should have died if we were not viable. I looked out the window, looking at the skyscraper-filled sky, as I answered him.
"It's today that Nik an' I will see the two other kids that are like us." I told him for the umpteenth time.
"Yeah. Right." He said.
The rest of the trip was silent. Nikki and I were both nervous. We only knew of one other person with wings, that person being Nikki for me, and me for her. The restaurant where we were supposed to meet was now visible. Several cars from around two years ago were parked in front of it. Small piles of snow were still visible on the sidewalk, the latest snowfall dating back only a few days. Jacob drove in the parking, looking for an empty spot. He found one, and parked there. We got out of the car and went inside the restaurant.
Once inside, I looked around, playing with my leather jacket. I was also wearing a black jeans with holes on the knees caused by the usual wear. Nikki was wearing a black shirt and dark blue jeans, with her usual black boots. Jacob was also wearing a leather jacket, with his favourite jeans and a pair of white running shoes. He also had a pair of aviator shades that rested on top of his head.
I spotted two person that stood out more. They were a boy and a girl, apparently a couple. The two of them wore bright colors, even though we were in winter. But the odd thing about the one I saw, the girl, was that I noticed two bumps on her back, right in the middle of her shoulder plates.
"Nik, Jack. Look over there." I told my two friends, pointing at the couple.
The both nodded, and we went to their table.
"Hey there. Are ya waiting for someone?" I asked.
"Two person actually." The boy answered.
"My name is Jonathan, and this is Nikki. We are the two other." I told them.
They understood what I meant, and they made us room to sit.
We talked for several hours. Turned out, we are not that alike. I was a Brony and Nikki was a Pegasister, while they hated that show. We all agreed that we were not going to hang out together, and we left them. Once we were in the car, Jacob spoke.
"What a waste of time."
"Come on, Jack. Jo and I needed to meet 'em." Nikki told her boyfriend.
"Yeah. I guess you're right... Who wanna listen to the newest MLP episode?"
Nikki and I both accepted his invitation. We went back to his apartment, and we all got ourselves comfortable.
The episode started. At first everything was normal. But as the episode came closer to the end, strange things happened. But they were nothing compared to what happened at the end of the episode. At the end, Twilight was suck out off the television set and into our world, right in Jacob's living room. And she was no longer a pony. She was a human, but still had her horn and her wings. And she was also wearing clothes. Then, all of her friends came to her rescue, jumping out of the tv set one after the other, leaving Fluttershy behind, until Rainbow Dash grabbed her and brought her in Jacob's living room.
"Da hell is goin' on?!" Jacob said, not believing his eyes.
"Is that not clear? We are trying to save our friend." Rarity answered Jacob.
"Great. But now, all of ya are stuck here." I told them.
They all looked at each other. There they were, the Mane six in human bodies, standing in Jacob's living room, as if they always were human. I immediately had the feeling it was not something good, to have the Mane six standing in your living room. I got up and introduced myself.
"Hi. I'm Jonathan Simmons, and I'm eighteen. These are my friends Jacob Meyer and Nikki Samuel. An' I welcome ya to Earth."
The Mane six stood there, mouth opened. I realised I was wearing my homemade t-shirt, with slots for my wings to go through. They saw my onyx-feathered wings. I facepalmed. Nikki was laughing, and Jacob was snickering. I turned my head, and shot them a glare. I turned my head back to the Mane six. Twilight stepped forward and spoke.
"Thank you for welcoming us here, but we absolutely need to go back to Equestria." She said, apparently aware of our knowledge of their world.
Jacob spoke to Twilight.
"Well, that will be kinda hard, since the portal ya came through is now closed." He said, pointing to the tv set, which showed another episode that had started while we all stared at each other.
"But we absolutely need to go back there. What will happen to Angel? And my other animals? What will they do?" Fluttershy said, now panicking.
"That won't be necessary." Said a familiar voice from behind Nikki, Jacob and me.
