Her face was painted crimson, and her mane was flayed outwards in a mess. Hunter then realised the compromising position he was in. Right on top of Twilight.
Hunter jumped up in alarm and surprise. Before he could begin to apologize, Twilight poofed out into a purple haze.
Aaaaaaaand there she go. Fuck.
He realized another detail. They had been in front of the celebration. What a scene! Hunter awkwardly rubbed his neck with his hooves before he grabbed a nearby pie and smashed his face in it. This elicited a shout of celebration, and the party was back on.
I was just standing there and- he poofed, and then- he fell on me- an- Ahhhhh!
Twilight was still quite hot from the ordeal at the party. She was churning her brain, or at least attempting to, thinking of what was to come next. They had agreed prior to the little event that Hunter was to sleep in Twilight's castle..two rooms over. What a world she lived in.
She heard a knock.
And then another one.
Twilight slowly trotted towards the door. She grabbed the doorknob with her magic and slightly opened it. She poked her head out..and almost right into Hunter's face.
Hunter was bent over attempting to read the small words that were embedded in the doorknob when a purple face almost mashed into his. He jerked his head back in time to see Twilight collapse out onto the floor right in front of him. "So how's the weather down there?" asked Hunter sarcastically. He attempted something he hadn't before. He focused on his horn and on Twilight. His green aura enveloped Twilight and set her upright. He now stood up and took a look at Twilight.
What a mess we have here. What a cute mes- wait what? No. That's not- where did that come from? Wait, I have someone waiting for me back at home. Why these thoughts? Ugh!
Hunter snapped out of his daze and realised Twilight had gone back inside with haste. He pushed the entrance doors open and was greeted with the same view he had gotten a few days ago. He walked through the halls for a couple of minutes before realising and admitting he lost himself. He wandered aimlessly until he came across a purple door. It looked fancy and was slightly ajar. Hunter pushed it open..
Twilight was now in her room, breathing heavily. She had sprinted from the front entrance to her room in seconds. She was now going through the bottom shelf of her bookcase in an attempt to find the book necessary to open a portal to the human world.
Hunter poked his head in the room and was greeted by Twilight's ass stuck up from her crouched position. Hunter quickly took a step back and looked at the beautiful design of..Twilight's ass. He pulled his wandering eyes away completely, making a full turn to avoid having Twilight in his vision.
Twilight heard a noise and looked up to see Hunter in her room looking at nothing in particular. He was completely turned away from Twilight, giving her a view of his back. It made her stop. His back had a scar which was quite visible. It was in the shape if a cross and covered the majority of his left side. She was slowly moving closer to Hunter. She raised a hoof and hovered over the scar. Hunter turned his head around just in time to see her stop. He froze. Her hoof was almost touching his scar. He took a small step away from Twilight, uncomfortable with the idea of anyone touching his scar. Twilight was saddened internally at the movement. Hunter cleared his throat. "Can you get me back to my world?"
"Oh, uh, yes! I just need to find the book I'm looking for. It should be riiiight..ah ha! Here we go: Portals to the Beyond. This book holds the way back for you. Only one copy. Alright let's see.." Twilight took the book in her magic and waltzed out of her room, Hunter jogging to keep up with her. "We need a couple of items for the portal. We need the Elements of Harmony, a structure similar to a door frame made of wood planks from Everfree trees, an item from the world you want to go to, and.. an alicorn tear? Strange ingredients. Well, let's get to it!"
Hunter followed Twilight out towards Ponyville. "I'll get the Elements of Harmony." Twilight said, turning to Hunter.
"I'll get the wood planks and an item from my world. Uh, we'll figure out later about the alicorn tear." And with that, they parted ways, each going to their respective location.
Within the dark recesses of the Slums, a place far from Equestria, a silhouette of a pony walked among the streets. At the sight, windows closed, doors shut quickly, and the streets became deathly silent. No pony dared to cross the pony that now walked the streets. The pony came up to small shop and stopped. The door opened slowly and let the pony enter.
"Tell me the report," an icy voice echoed through the shop.
"Yes, yes, of course your Mightiness. There was a report from the HCNS that my team managed to get their eyes on. A human named John Hunter Sulivan. He was flagged to go to Ponyville until he was sent back to his home planet." a small voice echoed back.
"Mmm. Good. Get Them ready. We're going to Ponyville."
Hunter now carried a green canteen and a pile of wood planks in his magic. This magic stuff was easy for Hunter. He was juggling the planks as he came to Twilight's castle. She was also arriving, followed by the rest of the girls, each wearing their respective Element.
Twilight began, "Alright, we're almost ready. We just need one more thing. An alicorn tear."
"How'n tarnation are we supposed to get that?" questioned Applejack.
"Wow, oh my gosh it's him again," began to whisper Rainbow Dash to Fluttershy, completely ignoring the conversation Twilight was in, "Isn't he the coolest?"
"Uh, yeah, he's.. interesting, but I think we're supposed to be paying attention to Twilight right now." Fluttershy pointed out.
"I am not hurting you," Hunter said sternly. "Isn't there some other way to get you to tear up other than pain and sadness?"
"What a gentlecolt.. how cliché. Ha! What, are you going to wrap Twilight in your strong hooves next?" Rarity said condescendingly.
At the comment, both Hunter and Twilight started sweating. Except, only Twilight grew red.
"Oh darling, I'm just poking fun at you, no need to get so.. hot." Rarity kept jabbing at them. Twilight was just so easy to fluster.
"Enough!" Everyone jumped at the sound of Fluttershy. "Why are we even going to do this? Who is going to need a portal here?"
"Wait a minute. Didn't you receive a message from Canterlot?" asked Twilight.
"Uh, we would know if we got mail." Rainbow Dash answered.
Everyone went silent.
"So they don't know," Hunter whispered to Twilight. "Where the hell did the message end, then?"
"I don't know!" whispered Twilight harshly. "I guess I have to make the cloak fall so they can see you."
"Okay. Listen up. We have some explaining to do. No one freak out. Alright Twilight, do your magic."
Twilight closed her eyes, and her horn began to glow. At the same time, Hunter began to shine until the light was too bright to look at directly. Everyone had turned their head and now looked back at Hunter, no longer shining. No longer a pony.
"I knew it!" Everyone jumped, once more, at the sound of Fluttershy. They all now turned their heads toward John. In his human form.
"So yeah, cloak so no panic was caused. And this is why we're getting the materials for this portal. Do you girls want me to go back to-"
"Yes!" they said in unison.
"We would feel a tad more comfortable to work alongside a pony." Applejack commented.
"Oh, I was actually referring to going back to my world, but ok. Twilight." John gestured to Twilight, and the whole process was revered. After the light settled, Hunter stood up tall. "Alright, let's build us a frame and solve the whole tear thing later."
And with that they began to take the planks. Hunter now appeared alongside the Mane Six, each with a working helmet, although Rarity's helmet looked more like..Rarity.
Hunter showcased some of his architecture skill..well tried to. He still wasn't so used to the pony body, and his sketches made him turn red in embarrassment. However, instead of laughing like he thought they were going to, they thanked him for trying. He was a bit confused but had no time to question it. Twilight now was drawing a, to Hunter, perfect model of the blueprint. He was amazed at the amount of detail that she could put into the sketch, and he it would have been remiss if him not to compliment her on it. She turned away, obviously not used to such things.
