Chapter 1: Brand New World

Morning came to Hexham as the sun emerges from the other side of the world but It's still raining badly outside with the weather became more volatile and intensified just overnight. As it now Monday and technically a school day, every teenager and child were hastily getting to school by being dropped off by their parents, catching the bus or train or even riding a bike or skateboard, all while dealing with the hectic traffic and heavy storm.

Lucky for Alastair however, he doesn't have to deal with that as he awoken from his slumber a half hour ago and is currently in the living room making Gevalia brand coffee for himself before changing his mind and began making some for his guests.

Speaking of which he have checked up on them several minutes ago; all of them were resting rather peacefully and he put his hand each on their foreheads to see they were okay. All 5 of them were warm and toasty, to which for Alastair a good sign as they were no longer in danger from the wreaking havoc of hypothermia.

"All of them are A okay. Least they won't die on me after all the effort I put to save them." Alastair then sat down his batch of coffee in his hand and sat down on his warm, comfortable couch while watching the forecast.

"Looks like it's going to rain all weekend throughout Britain with Hexham, Prudhoe and Haltwhistle being hit the hardest, so be careful out there and take your umbrellas and wear your coats and rainy boots!"

Alastair just let out a groan of frustration upon hearing the news. With rain now pouring down all weekend and possibly next week as well, he now will have to deal with this heavy storm while working on the fields and catering to the animals. But that's not the source of his frustrations; Alastair did made plans to go cruising with his one of his close friends. Now he can be certain that cruise trip likely being cancelled due to sea being rough and unsafe from this unbearable weather. So much for R & R Alastair thought.

"Ugh, might as well get dress and head to work."

After finishing his coffee Alastair went to his room where the pink haired woman is snoring soundly and quietly got his clothes and changed out of his pajamas and into his working clothes which consists of black jeans, black t-shirt, a pair of long black socks and long sleeve shirt. He also wore pajama pants under his jeans for extra warmth and black leather boots and coat to repel the rain.

With now being fully clothed and ready he made his way to the door before he forgot something.

"Damnit, I should make them some food real quick."

And without hesitation Alastair quickly made breakfast for the next 15 to 30 minutes, which consisted of oatmeal, toast and a huge bowl of nicely sliced fruit with coffee on the side still hot that would warmed anyone up.

After making breakfast, Alastair finally walked towards the back and then the garage as he remembered that he parked his car last night. He then opened the garage door before getting inside his car and started it up. Alastair took one more glance at the door before finally driving out of his house and eventually out of his farming estate but after he closed his garage door and made his way to work in this deadly rain.


Back at the house, albeit only half hour later and still raining cats and dogs outside, inside Alastair's room, the pink haired woman had finally stirred from her slumber and slowly opened her eyes only to have to be startled by a familiar voice coming from another room right across the hallway.

"Luna…? L-Luna! Sister! A-Are you okay?! Wake up!"

The pink hair woman stood up and then strangely for her, got up on her feet and made her way to the door only to clumsy fall down halfway and had to resort to crawl to the door. There, she then meet the other two women who like her, were confused on where they are but mostly of all; their bodies.

"Luna! Celestia!" The pink haired woman shouted as she crawled towards them then hugged them with the two women hugged back.

"Cadence! The woman with midnight blue hair named Luna let out a sigh a relief. "So glad that you're okay…"

The other woman who has light rainbow hair named Celestia also sigh in relief before turning her head to scan the environment they were in. "But more importantly, where are we?"

It was Cadence's turn to speak. "I think we're in somepony house… *Gasp*Alastair!"

"Alastair?" Celestia asked. "Who's that?"

"He's the pony who came and helped us while you, Luna, Blueblood and Shinning Armor were unconscious."

"Is that so but wait…" Luna stopped as she looked at Celestia, Cadence and then herself through a nearby mirror and it was shocking to see what she'd looked like without her mane, wings and tail. "W-what happened to us!?"

"I-I dunno! We're not ponies anymore! We're.. something else entirely." Celestia hesitantly replied with shock, awe and fear taking over her."

"Wait… if you two are here… Where's Blueblood and Shining Armor?!" Celestia asked in a panic.

"I remember Alastair saying they were resting in the same room last night." Cadence replied as she recalled of last night before she blacked out from exhaustion.

Before either Luna or Celestia can utter a word about what to discuss about their situation the three of them hears a voice that was all very too familiar.

"AHHH! GET OFF OF ME YOU PIG!" Luna, Celestia and Cadence quickly got on their feet and awkwardly walk out the bathroom. When they got to the hallway, the three women had to resort leaning on the wall with their hands and body since they don't know how to walk properly.

"Ugh… walking like this is…. awkward and uncomfortable but for some reason, my instincts is telling me to walk like this…" Celestia said.

"I agree with you Sis…" Luna replied.

When they arrived at the next room Cadence, Luna and Celestia opened the door and were greeted with an angry hot triggered blonde and an annoying blue haired young man.

"OW! Hey! What was that for Blueblood?!"

"You were on top on me you pig!"

"I was not on top you…" The blue haired man sighed. "And it's Shining Armor, Blueblood."

The blonde haired man snaps with his blood views being visible on his forehead. "I can call you whatever I want!"

"Shining Armor!" Cadence shouted as she ran towards her beloved and hugged him.

"Cadence!" Shining Armor warmly returned the hug before then seeing the formerly alicorn sisters. "So glad everyone is okay… but where are we and what are we…?"

"That's me and my sister are trying to find out now…" Luna replied as she scratched her head.

"But we appears to be in Alastair's house." Cadence spoke.

"Who the hell is Alastair?" Blueblood angrily asked.

"He's the pony who saved us from the coldness and rain. He carried all 5 of us inside his house and took care of us." Cadence replied.

Celestia, Luna and Shining Armor nodded their heads feeling gratitude to Alastair for helping them and wanted to find him so they can thanked him personally. With that in mind all five of them exited (very awkwardly) the room and made their way to the kitchen. While walking they scanned the house and was amazed how big and comfy it is.

"Wow…. this place is not only nice but very big and warm. Enough to make anypony to sleep in all day." Cadence admitted as she is very impressed with the nice environment.

"Be careful everypony…. Even though we were saved, we don't know what he want with us… so proceed with caution." Celestia warned causing her niece to gasped in shock and then to anger.

"Celestia! He saved us! Alastair is not the type to do anything bad to us!" Cadence argued.

"I'm sorry Cadence…" Celestia sighed regretfully. "We just don't know where we are and we haven't met Alastair aside from you Cadence. Just let us be careful ok…"

"Fine…" Cadence mumbled as they continue walking down the house and then Luna sniffed the air and begin to drool a bit.

"Mhmm… That aroma…"

"Luna, what is it?" Shining Armor asked.

"I know that smell… That's oatmeal!" Luna replied as she stormed (albeit still awkwardly) through the living room by using her nose to follow the scent leading towards them to the kitchen where Luna, Cadence, Celestia, Shining Armor and Blueblood saw a table filled with food.

"Look sister! Food!" Luna's stomach let out an insane growl promoting her to run to the table and begin eating the bowl of fruit with Cadence and Shining Armor soon followed.

"Mmm... the fruit are fresh and the oatmeal is warm and smelling good." Cadence examined as she munched on a freshly sliced watermelon.

"I think it proves that the pony who saved us is very nice and cater to us." Luna acknowledged as she began eating her oatmeal with her hands.

Celetia only let out a sigh. "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to eat."

"I'm starving... and the food looks fresh and smells good." Shining Armor said.

"Are you kidding?! I am NOT eating this slop of food!" Blueblood argued.

"Blueblood, just sit down and eat! Be grateful that the pony who saved us have the generosity to make us food! Especially strangers like us!" Shining Armor shouted with great irritability.

Before Blueblood could even argue further, Celestia gave him an intimidating glare that clearly reads "Shut up Blueblood Or Else!". Blueblood gulped and complied to Celestia by sitting down and eat. For the most part, everyone (except Blueblood) were enjoying breakfast in peace and looked out the window seeing nothing but heavy rain and could feel the strong winds hitting the house. After eating their fill, Blueblood and Shining Armor sat on the couches away from each other, Celestia rested on a nearby sofa and rested her head on pillow sitting on the sofa while Cadence and Luna staring out the windows, looking at the rain with alot on their minds.

"Wow… it's raining hard outside still…" Cadence somberly said.

"Still?" Luna raised an eyebrow. "You mean while we were blacked out it it was raining like this?"

Cadence quickly nodded her head. "Yes it was Luna… It was awful; I mean the winds were violent, rough and rigid. Thunder was also present as well."

"Oh my... that is bad Cadence. I'm glad Alastair saved us." Luna gratefully admitted.

"Speaking of which where is Alastair?" Cadence asked as she looked around. "We need to thank him."

Luna and Cadence slowly got up and begin looking for him until catching glimpse of a note sitting on the dining table. Luna grabbed it and begin reading it.

"Well, what does it say?" Cadence asked.

"It seems that Alastair went out to run errands and then had to work. He won't be back until the afternoon." Luna replied as she scrolled down the note.

"Well that's just great!" Blueblood groaned. "Who's gonna cater to me and my needs?!"

"Ugh! I'm starting to get real annoyed by your attitude." Shining Armor complained.

"Don't start you two…" Celestia warned before turning her attention to Cadence and Luna as they were staring at a black colored remote control with curiosity.

"Hmm. I wonder what this device do?" Cadence asked. Luna let out a slight playful smirk.

"Only one way to find out." Without hesitation Luna pressed on of the red button, causing the TV to instantly turn making the Luna, Cadence and Celestia jumped back and hide while Shining Armor and Blueblood yelped at the sudden unexpected sound the TV made.

"What the hell is that?!" Blueblood yelled.

"What did you two do?!" Celestia shouted, her voice filled with panic, fear and anger.

"I-i don't know!" Luna defended. "I just pressed the red button and this happened!"

Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor and Blueblood begin watching TV as it immediately shows an episode called "Epic Houseboats", a TV show that is about demonstrating large and extravagant boats from a lot of different wealthy owners each with a different unique design and theme, both outside and inside. Everyone were intrigued and absorb to the program.

"What a bizarre and yet fascinating piece of technology…" Cadence said.

"Wha- These kind of ships actually existed!?" Shining Armor asked out loud as he was blown away from the different designs.

"Damnit… If what I'm listening and seeing his true I need a boat like these!" Blueblood complained.

"Please tell us more about these lovely ships!" Luna exclaimed excitedly as she moved closer to the t.v. and sat on a nearby chair.

Celestia on the other hand let out a slight annoying sigh, finally giving in herself and decided to sat down next to Luna and begin to watch t.v. It didn't took long for her to be glued in curiosity and eventually begin to enjoy watching t.v.

"Wherever we are this place is vague, strange even but I can't help to feel very interest and intrigue." Celestia mumbled under breath as she sit back relax and watch t.v. with her family.
