Chapter 2

When I came too, my vision was blurry, and my body was stiff, mucus was caked up around my nose, and I was strapped down to some sort of makeshift stretcher. I could feel the bottom of the cloth dragging against the ground. Suddenly, we stopped, causing me to wonder what was going on. Apparently the Doctor was looking for information, probably still wondering why his little box called "The T.A.R.D.I.S." brought him to this world.

"Ok, this is where the group of ponies met; I'm going to go check it out. Ditzy, come with me, Grant, Ben, stay with Tyler, see if he wakes up before we get back." The Doctor instructed.

"Ok." Ditzy replied.

"We can wait here." I heard Ben reply.

"On it." Was Grant's reply.

When I heard the Doctor and Ditzy leave, that was when Ben and Grant began talking.

"Why are we being pulled along on this trip? I mean this isn't our problem right, the inhabitants of this planet can take care of this problem, can't they?" Ben said to Grant.

"I'd sure like to hope so." I said, surprising Ben and Grant. "I mean if they didn't they wouldn't have any protector, which doesn't make sense to me."

"Tyler?! You're awake." Grant exclaimed.

"So I am. How long was I out?" I asked.

"About four hours." Grant replied.

"Good, I needed a nap." I replied sarcastically.

It was at that time The Doctor and Ditzy returned.

"Oh, Tyler, you're awake." The Doctor exclaimed.

"Tyler! Did you enjoy your beauty sleep?" Ditzy joked, probably nagging about the fact that I fell from the sky.

"Oh you bet." I said while stretching and yawning.

"Okay guys this is what we learned, the small group of ponies are heading to the everfree forest. So that is where we need to go, any questions?" The Doctor said, with a sense of command, as if he was our new leader.

I looked over towards everyone else, and noticed Ditzy looked like she was about to faint from fear.

"Doctor, hold up." I said to The Doctor, while rushing to the aid of my friend. "What's wrong Ditzy?" I asked

"Well, see, the everfree forest is a horrible place, it's really scary. I mean, all the animals can take care of themselves, doesn't that scare any of you?" Ditzy replied, shaking with fear.

I cocked my eyebrow, Grant tilted his head a little, and Ben just stared at her.

"No, it doesn't." I said, confused, wondering why she was so shaken by some animals who took care of themselves.

"We can protect you." Grant said, "after all, there are five of us, and a few of them, we can take any one of them." He said reassuring her, while snapping a branch off a tree with a sharp point.

"When we get back we can have muffins." The doctor said finally convincing her to come.

After walking for a short while, Ditzy began to question her sanity.

"Ok, how did you convince me to come out here again?" She asked the Doctor.

"Oh, you just decided to follow me, you know, due to my charm, my handsomeness, my good looks." The Doctor replied.

"Don't flatter yourself." She replied, with a giggle.

While they were talking, a huge creature sprang out of the trees, grabbed Ditzy, and began to fly away.

"What is that thing?" I asked, knowing I had seen it somewhere but couldn't place its name.

"A Manticore!" The Doctor exclaimed

"From Greek mythology" Grant exclaimed

"HELP!" Ditzy exclaimed with an insane amount of fear in her voice.

That's when the Doctor kicked into action "Oh, right, what do I have to throw here?" then he looked around, "Hmm. Ah, a rock." The Doctor said, when he finished, he chucked the rock he had found striking the manticore across the side of it's head.

The manticore then roared, dropped Ditzy, landed, and began to charge the Doctor.

The Doctor, using what he had, grabbed a nearby tree branch, pulled it back, and when the manticore was within range, he let it fly. There was a loud snap as the branch hit against the beast's nose. Surprisingly, the branch sent the massive creature flying, causing it to land in some sort of bush, from what I could see, the bush was full of thorns.

"Now, let's get out of here while that thing is caught in the bushes." Ditzy said, running as she spoke.

The rest of us weren't reluctant to follow.

We hadn't walked long before we came upon an old wooden bridge, like the ones you see in the movies, it was supported by ropes and the wood ensured people didn't fall through, in this case it didn't look like it could hold a rock. However, I didn't feel like standing there while this world was in chaos, so I began walking. The bridge creaked as I crossed, Grant flew over to me, Ditzy looked to scared to cross, Ben and The Doctor both crossed together, I think it might have been because neither of them had wings. What was bad was that in the middle of crossing, The Doctor decided to jump up and down on the bridge to reassure Ditzy. The only result he received was dooming himself and Ben to fall through the bridge and towards the rocky depths below.

"Hang on! Grant, get the Doctor, I'll get Ben." I said, quickly dividing our forces.

Both Grant and I went into a dive hoping to reach them before they became pancakes. I made it to Ben, grabbed him by his front legs and took him into a glide, it actually was working, and Ben's speed decreased drastically. I checked on Grant to see that both him and Ditzy were bring him closer to the ground.

"Well, that was fun." I said, relieved that we were able to save them both.

"Oh yes, let's do it again." Ben said sarcastically.

"Yea, no, we don't have time, and we still have a long ways to go, so we had better get hiking if we want to have a morning to wake up to." I said driving the point home that we had to make it to the ruins the Doctor wanted us to go to and take out the alicorn who was causing all of this madness.

We walked to the ruins in silence, when we did arrive we ran into a few complications.

"Ah blast, it's locked. If only I had brought my sonic screwdriver instead of leaving it on the T.A.R.D.I.S., I could unlock this door" The Doctor complained.

"Why didn't you just stick it in your pocket?" Ditzy asked.

"Well see, it's because I don't have any, I mean I did when I was human, but I had pants then." The Doctor denied, I did the same thing when Ditzy told me I had wings, and she showed me up. I was interested to see if she was going to show him up as badly as she showed me up.

"Ok now, just do this and you will see you have pockets." Ditzy replied, reaching for the side of her rump and sure enough, there was a pocket.

"What!" The Doctor exclaimed as he put his own hoof into one of his own pockets.

"Ok, that's nice, but now we need to focus on the real problem. We still need to find a way inside." I said, bringing myself back to the now.

"I have an idea." The Doctor said, barely having to think about it.

"Well, tell us." Grant said impatiently.

"There probably is a back door, and if there isn't one of those, then there is most likely a window of some sorts." The Doctor explained, it actually wasn't a bad idea.

After climbing a hill for a while we finally found a window we could hopefully climb through, but to my disappointment, it was just a piece of glass, the only way to get inside from here was to smash the glass. However the black alicorn was in there, and there were six other ponies in there, each of them had a bunch of stones, it appeared as though the stones gave each of them power, and they used this power to defeat the evil son of a gun who caused this whole mess.

"Well then, now that the problem has been taken care of, let's head home." The Doctor said, ending our quest.

When we got back to ponyville, we split paths. Ditzy stayed with the Doctor while Ben, Grant, and I went our own way, we still needed to learn what life here was like and needed to figure out how to register for citizenship in this world.

To be continued….

Next time on My Little Brony: Friendship is Survival:

After asking around for hours with no luck, I was about ready to give up. All of this flying was making me tired so I flew through a huge cloud, as the water vapor went across my body I closed my eyes, and just let the cold water vapor take away my fatigue. However, while my eyes were shut, I ran into something, actually, I ran into somepony, I felt the soft fur come into my face before I actually saw the pony.

"Hey, I'm flying here." The mare replied in a tom boyish tone.

"I am so sorry, I was using the cloud to cool me off, and I didn't see you, I really am sorry." I said, hoping she understood.

"Well, at least someponies still have some manners. I accept your apology." The blue Pegasus pony with rainbow colored hair answered.

"Thank you, I still don't know what to do around here, I just registered as a citizen, and I am trying to find a job right now." I explained my problems to this Pegasus pony who probably didn't even care.

"Well, if you are looking for a job, first thing you need to do is see Twilight Sparkle, she just barely became a citizen of Ponyville as well, but she has already found her place in this town, she helps us by using her knowledge, including helping assign jobs to new ponies." She replied.

"Sweet, so could you take me to this Twilight pony Ms. Uhh." I said, not knowing her name.

"Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in equestria." She said, finishing my sentence for me.

"Somepony sure is humble." I thought to myself before replying.

"Rainbow Dash, that's a nice name." I said.

She didn't say any thing the rest of the way to Twilight's home.
