Bronies of Equestria
Chapter 1
Goodbye Joshua Rave, Hello Solar Eclipse
Golden appears sitting in a chair with Leaf as they played Xbox.
"Fatality."
"Damn it!" Golden said tossing his controller onto a pillow before he looked at the audience.
"Oh, hello once again everyone." He said embarrassed as Leaf laughed his ass off. Golden sighed and glared at him.
"Anyhow." He said turning back to the audience.
"I am starting my third MLP story to date and I can't wait for you all to read and enjoy. First human to Equestria story and blah, blah, blah. Have fun, and remember. Never play mortal Kombat with Leaf… 'cause he cheats."
"Kicked your ass fair and square!" He called as Solar growled before chuckling.
"Anyway, farewell for now." He said as he went over and popped in a new game before the screen changed to the story.-in a vast white terrain-
Josh groaned as he opened his eyes getting up from the ground and rubbing his head.
"Ow, headache." He groaned as he looked around.
"What happened?" He asked aloud and turned as a man appeared.
"Welcome child." He said as Josh screamed and jumped five feet back taking deep breaths. The man sighed and waited for Josh to catch his breath and calm down.
- about five minutes of josh calming down later-
Josh looked at the man and blinked.
"So who are you?" He asked." Looking at the white ceiling and linoleum floors. It all seemed to go on for miles and miles.
"I am your universes God." The man said and motioned around them.
"This is more or less my waiting room." He stated as Josh blinked.
"…So I died?" He asked as God nodded.
"Yes, you did." He said as Josh blinked and groaned.
"How?" He asked laying back feeling slightly depressed.
"You died in a car crash. You were hit from the side by a drunk driver going ninety five on the freeway." He said as Josh blinked and sighed.
"And that's why I don't drink, smoke and do drugs." He stated as god nodded.
Josh got up.
"Alright, so am I going up or down?" He asked as God smiled.
"You're getting your second chance at life young man. You are going to Equestria." He said as Solar blinked and smiled.
"Sweet, land of ponies… why is that the only thing I can remember?" He asked as God sighed.
"I wiped your memory of it. You asked me to. Unfortunately it knocked you out, hence waking up on the floor." He stated.
Josh blinked and smiled and smiled.
"I see. Well I'm sure it was a smart move." He said as god nodded and turned solar into a unicorn and a saddlebag with a solar eclipse on it.
"Alright, five books. Two for spells one for species one for astrology and the other on something you said was important." He said as Josh checked through the saddlebag.
"There's also a deed to a house and three hundred bits. Oh and your music player and headphones." He stated as Josh blinked and dug through it finding them.
"Thank you." He said honestly as he put them on and saw a change of clothes in the bag that was the same as what he was wearing now. A black hoodie, black polo, white tee shirt and dark blue jeans and saw a glasses case with spare glasses inside it.
"Well then Joshua, are you ready?" God asked as Josh nodded.
"I would ask what the meaning to life is… but I'll ask next time I die." He said as god's eye twitched.
"I hate that question." He grumbled as Josh chuckled.
"To frequent?"
"More then you could imagine." God said and smiled.
"Farewell child, try not to die." He said as Josh chuckled.
"Who me? Please." He said chuckling as God nodded and Josh blinked his eyes looking around at the now blue sky and white fluffy clouds below…
"Shit." He said as he fell through the air and screamed.
"Too soon!" He shouted and dug into the bag holding the books and began searching for a spell to save himself with.
"Let's see here butterfly wings, too girly for my pride. Water breathing, feather spell… seriously… a spell to make feathers? Uuuuuhhhh, cloud walking! Yes! I can land on a nice soft and fluffy-poof-." Josh looked up seeing the clouds slowly going away.
"ffffffffffuck!" He began going through the book frantically before his horn began to glow while he concentrated.
He felt a sharp pain in his sides as he felt bursts of magic going through his spine and making some kind of wings. He opened his eyes and yelled in pain feeling them finally formed before shaking his head clear and righting himself in mid air before he spread the wings of magic energy and began to slow in his descent until he was gliding to the ground.
Once he touched down his horn stopped glowing and the wings vanished before he fell to the ground exhausted and in pain.
He looked around and smiled to himself.
"Finally made it." He said happily before he passed out for the night sleeping unprotected within the Everfree forest.
-the next day-
Josh groaned as he shook his head getting up and yawned.
"What the hell happened last night?" He asked himself and looked around then at his hooves.
"Oh right. Died and gone to Equestria." He said talking to himself as he carefully stood up on all four legs.
He began walking only to trip over his own four hooves and blinked.
"… seriously? Come on." He said getting up and trying to walk again and getting a few more steps before falling by the pond.
"We're making progress!" He exclaimed happily before he stood up and walked over to the lake on wobbly legs.
He took a look at his reflection and smiled. He was crimson coated and standing about maybe somewhere between Celestia and Luna's heights. He was a unicorn with a sharp horn and chuckled.
"Better be careful of that." He said tapping it before looking again. Same thin wire framed reading glasses, same clothes. The only difference was the long bushy but straight tail and his mane that covered one of his eyes and stopped about an inch before touching the bottom of his neck. He smiled seeing the sandy blonde hair and yawned.
"Alright so I'm a unicorn. Would've preferred Alicorn but oh well." He shrugged and tried his best to walk back to his saddlebag only falling once as he looked at the cloudy sky taking a deep breath.
"Alright so I have my music, money to support myself until I can find a job, a house, and some reading material 'till I can find a decent library. Man a survival knife should've helped too." He said chuckling before he gasped.
"Or my guitar." He groaned facehoofing.
"I always forget one thing." He grumbled as he shook his head and began walking around the pond to get used to walking.
"Alright now for a game plan." He said walking.
"First I should probably find where my house is and a way out of this forest." He said as he slowly became accustomed to the pace he was walking before he began going slightly faster.
"Then if I don't have furniture I should probably set fifty bits aside for food and use the rest for standard furniture… and hopefully a guitar if I have anything left over." He added at the end as he began lightly jogging.
"then after that It's probably best I learn the layout of where I'll be living and find a job that I like. Maybe work at a bakery, or be an artist, musician, or maybe I'll be an author." He said chuckling as he started jogging.
"Then after I have a fair amount of bits I can get whatever else I need for my house and set some aside to pay bills… if they exist here." He said as he kept going and took deep breaths.
"Then hopefully somewhere along the way make a few friends." He said to himself before he stopped and smiled as he walked normally taking a few more breaths before his breathing was normal.
"Alright then I have… some kind of plan." He said as he went over to his saddlebag and searched in it and chuckled.
"And I believe I'll use my name Solar Eclipse like I usually do." He said to himself happily as he checked the sky and checked a map he had in there.
"Let's see… this wa-wait." He flipped the map the right way.
"This way." He said correcting himself and put everything besides the map away in his saddlebag and folded up the map with his hooves and put it in his pocket.
As Solar walked along the path he set for himself he looked around.
"Hm, nice scenery. I mean it looks like a normal forest, maybe a little creepy but that's how all forests are." He said as he went and yawned. He saw a few Timberwolves and froze as he stopped. They saw him and growled before sniffing the air and yipped as twigs fell off and their tails went between their legs before they ran off.
"… um… what?" He asked aloud as he looked behind him and saw nothing.
"Okay, so no Slenderpony, no manticore… dafuck!?" He asked before he sighed and kept going.
"I feel like I'm missing something important." He grumbled as he kept going.
-With the mane six-
Strange, the princess said whatever fell from the sky landed here." Twilight said as she looked to the mane six and Zecora who was more or less their guide for the Everfree forest. Zecora looked around and saw a trail.
"he made a trail with his hooves, look on the ground for the grooves." She said as Twilight nodded.
"Alright then let's track him down." She said.
They all nodded.
"Twilight, the princess made this seem real important over one pony. Who are we lookin' fer?" Applejack asked as she shook her head.
"I don't know, she just said he's important but he's harmless. So we find him, take him to the Princess and then mission accomplished." She said as Pinkie came up.
"Ooh, maybe they're some kind of secret spy pony or something." She said as Rainbow Dash huffed.
"Right, a spy." She said.
Rarity smiled.
"Maybe it's somepony important to the princess?" She asked as Fluttershy smiled.
"Maybe it's one of her friends?" She suggested as Twilight shook her head.
"I don't think so, the princess would have told me about this pony, or I at least would have seen them." She said as Zecora smiled and pointed.
"the tracks lead through here. Let's hurry before we hear the Timberwolves sneer." She said going as they followed quickly.
-back with Solar-
"Go on girl lemme touch that body, you know I like it when you drop it low. Hike up that skirt get naughty. Hut 1, hut 2, hut 3, go!" Solar sang as he listened to the music from his little custom music player that allowed him to use his hooves and his headphones with a skull on them.
He stopped and took them off as he looked around. He'd been going in the same direction after he'd found an old path that lead to Pineville and shivered.
"Okay, pay no mind to the forest, don't get paranoid." He told himself and put his headphones back over his ears and began playing Zomboy.
Solar began whistling the tune to the music and smiled as he kept walking and saw a hut a little off ways from the trail.
"Oh hey, civilization… or a possible cannibal pony's place." He said as he went over and saw the tiki structures and blinked looking at them.
"Hm, from these the pony living here would be some kind of African pony or native equestrian pony descendant." He said and shrugged walking up to the door.
"Hello?" He asked and knocked on the door with his hoof in hopes of better directions than a map… since he only got lucky seeing the river on that connected to the pond on the map. He heard no response and blamed it on his headphones taking them off and knocking again.
"Hello, anyone home? I'd like directions to Ponyville." He called and waited getting no response and shrugged before setting his saddlebag down before going and taking a deep breath before he stood up on his back legs and began practicing walking on them.
-after multiple times of falling cursing and trying again-
Solar smiled as he walked normally on his back legs careful not to step on his tail.
"Fucking finally!" He said a little agitated before he went over and sat down with his stuff putting it back on and heard voices coming down the path. He smiled.
"Finally. I mean more than I expected but finally!" He exclaimed to himself happily before he began trotting to them.
"Hey you!" Solar called to them as the group all stopped.
"Who are you?" Twilight asked as Solar chuckled.
"Not important, do you know the way to Ponyville from here?" He asked as they blinked and Zecora smiled.
"It seems you are kind, we have been trailing you from behind." She said as Solar blinked.
"Why?" He asked.
"We've been following you cause the Princess says you're important. Do you know her? Are you friends? 'Gasp!' or are you more than friends?" Solar blinked and facehoofed putting his hood up to hide his embarrassment.
"I have never seen nor heard of your princess. Kinda new here." He said as they all gaped at him besides Zecora.
"How can you not have heard of Princess Celestia? She's the ruler of Equestria." Twilight said as Solar smiled.
"Like I said. I am not from here." He stated.
"So uh, Ponyville?" He asked as Pinkie smiled.
"Right this way." She trotted as he smiled.
"Why thank you um."
"I'm Pinkie Pie!" She said as Solar smiled and took a step back.
"Well hello Pinkie it's nice to meet you. I'm Solar Eclipse." He said smiling and tried to shake Pinkie's hoof before he was trapped in a pink magic bubble.
"Hey what's going on!?" He asked as he tried to move as Twilight looked at Zecora as Solar struggled in the bubble.
"Thanks for your help Zecora." She said as Zecora smiled.
"Not a problem dear, though you should get over your fears." She said before going back to her hut.
"Alright let's take this spy to the princess." Rainbow Dash said as Solar's eye twitched.
"… Okay even if I was a spy, I wouldn't be wearing jeans and a hoodie. I'd wear a polo and black pants." He stated as Rarity blinked and looked at his clothes.
"Oh deary where did you get that wardrobe?" She asked as Solar smiled.
"It's a choice of what I wear. I mean I have some more slightly sophisticated clothes in my saddlebag but these are my usual clothes."
Solar stated as he began floating upside down.
"Thanks girls, I can take it from here." Twilight said as they nodded and went their way.
"Maybe we can throw you a party when you come to Ponyville!" Pinkie shouted to Solar before bouncing off as Solar blinked and chuckled. Once they were gone Solar looked at Twilight.
"So, you're taking me to the princess?"
Twilight nodded
"Yes, I am." She said as Solar chuckled.
"Why?" He asked as she blinked.
"Because the Princess requested that me and my friends find you and I take you to her. What other reason do I need?" She asked as Solar blinked and sighed.
"Alright take me there." He said lying down in the magic bubble as Twilight blinked and teleported them to the castle and popped his bubble.
"This way." She said leading the way to Celestia's throne room. Solar blinked and shrugged as he walked with her passing a few guards along the way making sure no one would take anything from him for investigation. He saw a female guard coming down the hall and passed her before he kept on walking.
-in the throne room-
Solar blinked as he looked at the princess.
"Christ she's tall… taller than me." He said blinking as Twilight nodded as Celestia looked over.
"Thank you Twilight. May you please leave, I must speak privately with Mr. Eclipse." She said as Twilight had a puzzled look before nodding.
"Yes Princess Celestia, but why? DO you know him?" She asked as Celestia giggled.
"Not personally no, he's from a far away land and is moving to Equestria, correct? She finished asking Solar as he blinked and nodded.
"Yeah, already have the deed to the house." He said as Celestia smiled.
"There's nothing to worry about my faithful student. But this is a private matter involving him." She said pointing at Solar as Twilight blinked and nodded.
"Yes princess." She said hanging her head and leaving the throne room. Celestia smiled.
"So Joshua how was getting here?" She asked as he smiled.
"A little bit of a rough start but I made it wo-… Alright how'd you know?" He asked groaning as she smiled.
"Many ways. The first was that your god informed me that he was going to send you here. Then the ripple in space and time, the unstable magic fluctuation my sister and I felt when you used that spell which made you into a faux Alicorn, oh, and then when you got here I read your mind." She said smiling as Solar blinked.
"Please don't read my mind, that's private." He said as she smiled.
"As long as you give me a reason not too then I will not read it." She said as Solar breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yay, so what did you call me here for?" He asked as she stood up.
"Simple, I suggest you follow the law and not hurt the innocent, and I was informed by your god that you had something important but he did not say what it was." She stated.
He blinked and sighed opening his saddlebag.
"I have five books, music player, cash, and a deed to a home in Ponyville." He stated as she smiled.
"What are the books titled?" She asked as Solar checked them.
"Astronomers of Equestria, how to identify stars and constellations, book of spells from beginner to advanced, species of Equestria and the everfree forest, my own personal spellbook, speaking of which." Solar went and got a pen before opening to a blank page and using the pen between his teeth to scrawl notes down before closing it.
"There, now I can figure out that spell later." He said as Celestia blinked.
"So you keep record of every spell you think of?"He nodded.
"Yes, yes I do, anyhow the last book is the kitsune race." He stated as Celestia's eyes widened for a second.
"But they're extinct." She said as Solar shrugged.
"Oh well, maybe it's just so I have the information." He shrugged as Celestia nodded.
"Maybe, anyhow may I please see the book?" She asked as solar shrugged and handed it to her as she used magic on it and tried to open it only for it to be closed shut.
"… is there a lock spell on this?" She asked as Solar shook his head.
"No, if I knew a lock spell I'm pretty sure I would use it on the saddle bag first. He said as she nodded and tried again focusing harder as the book still wouldn't open.
"Are you playing a prank?" She asked as he shook his head.
"No." He said as she huffed and stopped trying her hooves still not able to open it.
Solar blinked and went over and opened it.
"Here." He said and opened the book to the index.
"how did you…" She shook her head and found what she wanted to go to in the index and tried to turn the page… only for it to not move and small words to appear.
'only the descendant of kitsune can open this book' it said as Celestia stopped for a second before smiling.
'So I do have a chance to make things right.' She thought and handed the book to Solar.
"Thank you, I'll be fine now." She said as Solar blinked.
"…Okay?" he said unsurely as he put the book away.
"Joshua can I see the deed to your house?" She asked as he blinked and nodded.
"Yeah, sure." He said and carefully handed her the deed. Celestia looked at it and smiled handing it back.
"Thank you Joshua, I'll send Twilight back and then teleport you to your house." She said as Solar blinked and shrugged.
"Alright makes sense." He said as she nodded and went over to the door.
"Twilight you may come in now, thank you for waiting." She said as Solar smiled as she came back.
"I also encourage you to tell the truth." She said as Solar blinked before nodding.
"Yeah I know. I will when I feel like they're ready to know." He said as she nodded.
"Wise choice." She said as Twilight came back in.
"Thank you for fetching Solar Eclipse for me Twilight." She said as Twilight smiled.
"you're welcome Princess." She said as Solar smiled and offered a hoof.
"What are you doing?" Twilight asked as he chuckled.
"Restarting the greeting. I'm Solar Eclipse." He said smiling as she blinked and carefully reached a hoof out shaking his.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle." She said as Celestia smiled.
"And I am Princess Celestia." She said as Solar chuckled and offered to shake her hoof.
"Nice to meet ya princess." He said as Twilight gaped.
Celestia giggled and shook his hoof before looking at Twilight.
"Thank you Twilight, your mission is done." She said as Twilight smiled and nodded.
"Thank you Princess." She said before she went off and teleported back to Ponyville. Solar smiled. And got the deed to his house putting it away.
"Shall we go?" He asked Celestia as she smiled.
"We shall." She said as her horn glowed before teleporting them to Ponyville.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNND CUT! everyone stops and goes off from the stage as Golden looked at the audience.
"Thank you all for reading the first chapter of Bronies to Equestria. Now, long story short. Yes you can send in a pony if you wish. If they're evil that's fine, they'll be on the villains side later in the story. If they're good. expect them to be living in Solar's soon to be amazing tree house on the outskirts of Everfree forest." Points at audience.
"Only spoiler." He said smiling.
"And finally the neutral characters. If you would like to be them don't worry theres a spot for them too." He said chuckling.
"Anyway please comment, review, send me an OC or all 3" He said laughing before waving farewell.
"See ya next time!"
