What's up everyone? Elexcity here back with chapter six!
Now last time, Storm found herself a job. Meanwhile, Jake's sisters somehow end up in Equestria as well! Now that they've arrived, is there more to this situation than meets the eyes?
DISCLAIMER!: I don't own mlp.
Now lets get this show-er-story on the road!
Storm POV
"Happy Birthday!" Everypony shouted as Derpy walked in. It was Derpy's birthday party and everyone in Ponyville was at the library celebrating. I see why they called her Derpy. She had this crossed-eye expression on her face. Derpy smiled as Pinkie came over to her to celebrate.
"What a turnout." Miles said conversing with me. "Yeah, It was about this crowded when I arrived in town." I remember having Rarity and her little sister bring me inside only to find out the party was in my honor! What are the odds? Pinkie Pie came up to me from out of nowhere. "Hey Storm! Can you play that song you played for me?" Pinkie Pie said referring to Dynamite. "Yeah sure, I'll go get my music player." I said walking over to the stairs.
I walked upstairs into the bedroom to get my music player. I quickly reach into my bag and pull out my music player. When I turn around, I see a familiar face. "Oh hey Fluttershy, what're you doing up here?" "Oh..I'm sorry Storm..I brought my bunny friend, Angel, and he ran upstairs..." Fluttershy said apologetically. "Oh that's alright. I'll help you look." I said looking around the room. "Here...Angel..." I said trying to get him to come out.
"He wont come out if you say it like that..." Fluttershy informed. "Oh ok." I looked under my bed. "Hellooo...Ow!" I found the bunny alright..he just kicked me in the nose. "oh..I found him.." I said picking him up in my two hooves. "Oh there you are, Angel!" Fluttershy said taking him. Angel seemed to have this grumpy look on his face. "Thank you Storm..." Fluttershy said gratefully. "Uh..no problem.." I said rubbing my nose.
I put the music player in my pocket and walk back downstairs with Fluttershy. "Hey Pinkie, I have my music player right here." I said bringing it over to the DJ. "Great! set it right over here!" I saw there was a place that I could hook up the player with the speakers. I set it up and Dynamite starts playing. As soon as the music starts up, Pinkie Pie dances like crazy! "I put my hands up in the air sometimes!" She said singing along.
A few other ponies join in too. I watch comfortably from the DJ. "Hey Storm, can I see the songs you have on there?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, sure.." I said helping her figure out how to scroll through the list. "What's that song..Reach for the Stars...?" My ears perked up as she said that. "Aw man, that's one of my favorites!" I wait for Dynamite to stop playing and play 'Reach for the stars' by Cash Cash.
I listen to the song as I'm walking over to the snack table. The muffins Pinkie Pie and I made were sitting on the table. I grab one of the blueberry-banana muffins and walk over to sit on the steps. "Hey Storm, how's it going?" Spike said walking up to me. "It's going alright." I said taking a bite of my muffin. "That's good. You know those songs from your world are pretty interesting." Spike said starting to dance a bit from the song currently playing. "Heh, yeah..Those are some good ones." I said taking another bite from my muffin. We turn our attention to Derpy and Pinkie Pie. "Ok everyone! it's time for cake!" Pinkie Pie announced. The music shut off and everyone gathered around the cake. I flew upstairs to grab something from the deck.
"hey..." I notice there're a couple ponies in town. They look lost. "Shh..be quiet..everyone might be asleep..." a blue pegasus said carrying her little sister. "But Sis..the po-" "Shh!" They were acking kind of snoopish..I hope everything's alright...I fly down from the deck for a minute to see if I could help. "Uh..excuse me.." "Ahh!" The blue pegasus said startled. "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sca-" "No..it's alright.." The little one insisted. "My name's Storm by the way..if you're looking for everypony, they're inside celebrating a pony's birthday. "They are? That's so nice..who is is?" The little pony asked. "It's somepony named Derpy? I don't know, I'm new to town." The little one's eyes widened. "DERPY?!" Which made the big sister react. "Shh! Uh cool, tell him happy birthday for me." "Uh, Ten-D, Derpy is a girl.." "Wait..how do you know Derpy?" I asked. "Uh, we really need to go, see you around!" the big sister said running away. "Huh..."
Miles POV
We all sang happy birthday to Derpy and Pinkie Pie cut the cake. "H-Hey..Miles.." I turn around to see Storm flying over to me. "What's up Storm?" "Well...I'm not sure what's up..I just met some ponies who seemed to be really confused.." She said turning her head behind her. "Confused? That's a bit unusual for everyone in Ponyville..." I wonder who it could have possibly been?
Pinkie Pie came over with two plates with cake on each of them. "Here you go!" Pinkie Pie said giving us the cake. "Thanks Pinkie" Storm said. "Hey, it's chocolate." I smiled. "Don't worry, I don't think there are any nuts in here." I assured Storm. "Well..I'd rather have you test it first..just to be sure..remember my medicine is in another universe.." She said unsure. See, back on Earth, Zoey had a really bad nut allergy. Whenever she ate any, her throat would swell and get a bad rash on the inside. Who knows what could happen in her new form?
I take a bite of the cake. inspecting it. "Hmm...well...I'm not really sure..I can't tell...but you might want to ask.." She nodded and walked off carrying her slice. "Hey Miles, great party, huh?" Rainbow Dash said hovering above me. "Yeah, it's a blast! I've never been to a party like this!" I said taking another bite of my slice of cake. Storm walked over looking pleased. "No nuts?" I asked to confirm. "Pinkie said there isn't any. This is really good cake.." She said taking another bite of her slice. "Wait, what's wrong with nuts?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well...I have a bad reaction to them..." Storm said with a disappointed face. "Oh..I see.." She shrugged.
"Hey Storm, do you still have Fireflies by Owl City on your music player?" I ask. "I'm sure I do, I'll go check." She said walking over to the DJ.
Tenderdrift POV
I kept running through the town carrying my little sister. "Ten-D, why can't we stop to meet somepony?" Daisy asked. "Sigh...I told you, we need to keep a low cover. If anyone finds out our true identity than they will surely think we're strange and shun us." I said strolling through the quiet alleyways. "But...they're not like that at all..." Daisy argued. "Ug..you don't understand..this isn't just some 'little friendly tv show.' We're in an unfamiliar world and you can't just go up and say hi." I stayed in the shadows to look out for any danger. Daisy sat down. "...I'm not some little kid you know, I'm twelve years old."
"gasp! shh! someone's coming..." I say putting my hoof over Daisy's mouth. "Ha! What a great party!" a unicorn said. "Well what did you expect? Pinkie Pie threw it!" another pony replied. I wait a few seconds. "Few...they're gone..." I say taking my hoof off Daisy's mouth. "Pfft! Well unlike you, I actually watch this show!" "Alright that's enough! Lets go, we need to find a place to sleep for tonight." I said sneaking us both through the town to find a safe hiding spot for us to sleep in.
"Huff...I think...this place'll do." I said hiding Daisy in the alleyway. "Goodnight Daisy." "...night..."
Storm POV
About half an hour has gone by. The party was starting to die down. "yawn...I'm going up to bed.." Miles said tiredly. "Great Party, Pinkie Pie." "Well that's cause I threw it!" She said pointing to herself. "Ha, that's true. Goodnight all. Happy Birthday Derpy." Miles said walking up the stairs. "I'm going up to bed too...I think I'll sleep outside tonight.." I said taking note of how nice and warm it was. "Night guys." I said walking up the stairs to the deck.
I flew outside and sat on the deck. It was a beautiful night. I sat on the deck with a pillow and blanket. "Yawn...Goodnight Princess Luna...Princess Celestia..." I said taking one glimpse at the castle before falling asleep.
...I know this feeling...I...I'm dreaming...
"Hello Princess Luna..." I said as I watched a blue alicorn come into view. "Good evening Storm. Are you doing well in Ponyville?" Luna asked. "Yes I am. Jake and I are going to start working for a home." Princess Luna smiled. "I see. I'm glad you're starting to love it here." "But...you know we'll have to return home eventually, right?" I said checking with her. "Of course I know that." She said looking into my eyes. "Aren't you happy though?" She questioned. "Well...I'm not from Equestria...Still...why..why did you show yourself to only me and Jake?" I asked. She paused to question something, but then answered. "...So you've figured it out..?" I nodded. "I see, well...I can't really tell you until you've discovered the answer for yourself..." She said looking a bit sorry. "Oh..." I said looking into the distance. "But...You're not far from it..." She said facing me.
"...How are you and Princess Celestia feeling after that attack?" She smiled with a bit of gratitude. "She and I are feeling much better, and we've managed to repair the castle." She said smiling. "That's good. I'm happy to hear that."
We sat there talking for what seemed like half an hour. (could be longer, there's no track of time in dreams) "I have to get going, The sun is going to be up soon." She said starting to walk away. "Oh, and Storm?" She stopped and turned to me. "You'll have to show me your skateboarding sometime." She winked. I smiled at that. "Will do. see you later Luna, say hello to Princess Celestia for me." She nodded and then walked away.
...I'm...waking up now...
"H-huh?" I wake up to see it's still nighttime. I looked straight up at the moon to see there was a glowing aura around it. "That's...That's what Princess Luna is doing!" I watch the moon disappear along the horizon at the same time I see the sun come into view. "W-wow..." It was an amazing sight! I'd never seen something like that back home. "To think that the Princesses are doing that..." The thought made my mind spin.
I walk inside to find that Twilight, Spike, and Miles were still asleep. I walk over, put the blanket and pillow back on my bed, and walk back out to the deck with my skateboard. "Time for the morning rush!" I said to myself as I jumped off the deck with the skateboard under my hooves. I flapped my wings hard to break my fall as I touched the ground.
There were a few ponies up as I was rolling through. "Hey, Ten-D, did you see that?!" "I-it can't be..." I hear as I sped by the same ponies from last night. The speed and spins I was doing reminds me of Sonic Riders...I jump over an upcoming fountain and used the water gushing to gain air. "Yeah!" I yell as I use gravity to keep my wheels rolling. Then for the finishing move, I spread my wings out wide and let the winds carry me into the air. Quickly closing my wings, I start spinning around and around to help break my fall some. I land by the park and let the board land on its side to dig some into the ground. "Now that was speed!" I say patting the collected dirt back into the ground.
"Woah..." I hear a little pony run up to me."That was awesome!" It was the same little girl that I met last night. She was out of breath from following me. "Thanks..I've been doing it for awhile.." The little girl smiled. "You remind me of this one girl I know who can skateboard!" She said proudly. '"Who's your friend?" I asked out of curiosity. "Daisy! I told you to stay put!" I see the bigger sister running to Daisy. "Uh...well it might be a new name to you.." Daisy said. "Let me guess...does her name start with a Z?" I said trying to mess with her a bit. "Yes! it does!" Then her big sister comes along. "Daisy..I'm sorry about this.." "No, it's fine...My name is Storm, Shred Storm." I said introducing myself. "I...I'm M-Tenderdrift and this is my little sister Daisy Blossom." She said pointing to her sister. "By the way, the person I know like you..her name is Zo-" "Daisy.." I smirked at her sister's reaction. "Heh...is her name...Zoey...?" I said starting to laugh a bit. "Why are you laughing?" Tenderdrift asked sternly. "The irony! Wait...Daisy...and...Maria...?" I ask. "H-HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?!" Tenderdrift/Maria asked. "I guess you and I are in the same position. I hope I didn't worry you too much about my disappearance.." Then it hit Daisy. "Zoey! It's you!" She said jumping onto me. "Hey, hey, easy!" I said giggling.
Maria however, was shocked.."Zoey...how-what?!" She had so many questions. "Hey, I'm not too familiar on this situation myself you know." I reminded her. "I never expected to see you guys here!" I said holding Daisy and sitting up. "What about Jake? is he alright?" Tenderdrift asked. "Yeah, he's fine. He calls himself Miles Ganon now." Maria facehoofed. "Of course..that's just something he'd come up with.." "This is great! Hey, do you guys have a place where we can stay?" Daisy asked. "Well...I dunno...I don't think Twilight and Spike would want two more guests staying..." Then Daisy started to go fan-girl. "TWILIGHT?! THE PRINCESS TWILIGHT?!" she shouted. "Shh, ponies are still sleeping you know." I reminded her. "But you can stay with me and Jake once we get enough for a home. I have a job I'm starting tomorrow." "You got a job? Already?" Tenderdrift asked. "Well...yeah...I had to get one to support ourselves here while we're here. Jake is still looking for one."
"Wait..." Maria said looking at me. "So..what's that mark on your bottom?" She asked. "Oh..that's my cutie mark..appearently it's supposed to show what you're special at..." I said looking at the dark blue sideways-lightning bolt with two wheels. "Come on..I bet we can find a place for you guys to stay..." I said leading them into town.
Miles POV
Yawn...Zoey's skateboard is gone..I bet she went out for a ride. "Morning Miles." Spike said as I walked down the stairs. "Hey Spike. What do you guys have planed for today?" I ask. Twilight seemed to be out for today. "Well...not much..Twilight just left to go to the park. She wanted to have a nice place to read." Spike said. "Well...do you want to hang out? I've got nothing to do." Spike perked up. "Yeah sure! What do you have in mind?" He asked. Hmm...good question..."Well...I'm not sure...what do you want to do?" I asked. Spike stopped to think. "hmm...oh! what if you showed me some things from your world?" He said enthusiastically. "Well..." I'm not sure how too well that would be... "Come on..I won't tell anyone if you want.." He begged. I gave in. "Alright fine..I'll go get my bag." I said walking up the steps.
Heh...Might as well see what I actually have crammed in my backpack. I walk over to my bed to grab my pack. I carried the pack down the stairs where Spike was waiting. "Lets see...I have...what..?" I levitated out of my bag a black box with a hinge. "M-my..3ds?!" It's the same as it was back home. I looked inside the back to find its charger had changed some. It was now not only a charger, but a solar-powered one! "What's a 3ds?" Spike asked. "Well...it's a special game system from my world. Here, let me show you." I used my magic to press the power button. Both screens flashed white and then showed the 3ds logo. I found myself in the home menu. "Hey..all my old games are still on here! and wait...I don't remember this being on here...nor did I ever hear about it.." I found this logo that had a sun and a moon in a special pattern. "What is it?" Spike asked. "Well...it's something about Equestria...and there's a little note programmed in here..." It read: So you've discovered our little program on your system...to be honest it wasn't easy figuring out how to do it but we did. Jake, this program is designed to allow you to send letters to Princess Luna and myself. So when you do go back home, you can write to us.
"...Uh...Let's see what else is in here..." I said shutting off my system and digging through my bag. "Lets see...I've got some books..some old math homework..my music player...some Pokemon cards...and that's about it.." I said zipping up my bag.
Tenderdrift POV
Now we somehow found Zoey and she says that she ad Jake now call themselves Storm and Miles. I feel a bit raged though. They seemed to ditch our world for this world. I mean everyone back home is worried sick! Good grief! What we need to be doing is focusing on getting back home, not getting a place to stay or making friends with the inhabitants here.
"Hey Storm, where are we going exactly?" I ask. "Well...I figure that you might want to see Jake again, am I right? I'll take you to where he and I are staying." Storm said leading the way. "And Daisy, be sure not to go too nuts about meeting everyone, alright?" Storm winked at Daisy who was walking right beside her. "I'll try!" she said giggling.
We approach this giant tree with a door and windows, it's almost like a house. "Oh my gosh!" Daisy said getting bubbly. "Hey Miles, I'm back." Storm said as she walked into the tree. "Hey Storm. What's going on?" "Miles, you may know these ponies.." Storm said looking back at us. "Jake?!" Daisy said running up to him. "Daisy? No way!" Miles said with a big smile. Then a little purple dragon peeked out from behind Jake. "Hey Spike." Storm greeted. Which just made Daisy go even more nuts. "Am I dreaming?!" She said while Jake was holding her. "Nope, you definitely aren't." Jake assured her.
Then Jake looked over at me. "Uh...hi..Jake.." I said getting embarrassed. "Maria! I'm so glad to see you guys again!" Jake said hugging me and Daisy. "Who are these ponies?" The little dragon asked. "Spike, these are my sisters from my world." Jake said. "Cool." "Guys, this is Spike." Storm introduced Spike. "Hey there!" Daisy said walking up to him.
I still don't get why they're not upset. They've gone into a new world and they're ok with it?..did they decide to ditch us all on Earth?
Storm POV
I'm happy for Jake, he gets to see his sisters again.
Just then Twilight comes downstairs. "Hey everypony, what's going on?" Knowing Daisy, I knew she's going insane inside. Daisy stared in awe as she saw before her eyes, Princess Twilight. "Twilight, these are my sisters. Uh...what do you guys call yourself now?" Miles asked. "Well I call myself Tenderdrift and Daisy here is Daisy Blossom." Oh..so that's where 'Ten-D' comes from. "Nice to meet all of you!" Twilight said.
"Uh..I've got to get going..I'd love to stay and chat, but I promised Fluttershy that I'd help her out with some of the animals she's taking care of." Fluttershy said she wanted to entertain them by showing my skateboard tricks. "Hey Zo-er-Storm." Daisy corrected herself. "Can I come with you?" She asked. I looked up at Miles who was smiling at what she said. I then look back down. "Sure, it's alright with me. Just let me get my backpack." I said walking upstairs.
I put on my backpack and tuck the skateboard under my wing. "Come on, Daisy. I'll take you now." I said walking over toawrd the door. "Thanks Storm." She said with a smile. "We'll see everypony later!" I said as we walked out the door.
"So did you get to meet all of the mane six?!" Daisy said getting more fan-girl. "Well..yeah. I also met Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Shining Armor." "EEK!" Daisy shreeked. Her inner-fan girl is starting to show even more. "Calm down Daisy, deep down they're all just like you and me." I said trying to calm her. "Right! Only now I get to meet them!" "True, just don't get too excited.." I said teasing her a bit.
"Fluttershy is like my favorite! Oh! and do you think I'll meet Discord?!" She asked. "Uh..who?" "You don't know Discord by now?" She questioned. "Ok, well Discord was basically the enemy of harmony. But eventually after the mane six turned him into stone, Fluttershy helped him learn to love friendship!" She explained.
"Ok, here we are." I said walking up to knock on Fluttershy's door. "Come in." I heard someone softly say behind the door. "Hey Fluttershy." I said walking inside. "Hi Storm. Oh thank you so much for doing this." She thanked. "No problem. Fluttershy, I'd like you to meet Miles's little sister, Daisy." I cued Daisy to come in. "H-Hi." She said nerviously. "Hello there, Daisy. It's nice to meet you." Fluttershy smiled.
Daisy looked around at all the animals. "Woah..." "So what entertainment would they like? Music or Skateboard?" I said getting out each if them. "Hmm..maybe the skateboard first." She looked at Angel who nodded in agreement. Daisy shreeked a little seeing the little bunny. "Alright, everyone, come on outside!" Fluttershy said to all of the animals.
I'm not usually one to show off a lot, but I will if someone asks. "Ok, stand back!" I warned as I started going. I started to flap my wings even faster. Now the wind was with me, so I spread my wings as wide as I could to catch the wind. "I've never seen her do that before!" Daisy said in awe. I was now gliding high in the air. I then do a summersault to make me hurl towards the ground. Doing a vertical flip, I open my wings again and land in the water by Fluttershy's house. I now find myself surfing on the water. Then for the big finish, I spin while jumping out of the water. using the last bit of momentum, I close my wings and roll back to Fluttershy, Daisy, and the animals.
"That was awesome, Storm!" Daisy complimented. "That surely was impressive." Fluttershy smiled. "Aw..it was nothing.." I said blushing a bit..
"I brought the sandwiches!" a tall...uh..how should I say this...he looked to be a mixture of all sorts of animals. "Discord!" Fluttershy said flying up towards him. Uh...so that's Discord, huh? I walk over to Daisy. "...So..that's who you were talking about earlier?" I whispered to Daisy. "The one and only." Daisy said with a straight face. "So, you must be Storm, I presume?" Discord said coming from behind and getting in between me and Daisy. "..Yeah..so Fluttershy told you about me..? hehe.." I said nervously. To be a bit honest, Discord was seeming a bit creepy to me... "Why yes, Fluttershy and I write to each other often." He said getting back to Fluttershy.
"Are you ready for lunch, Fluttershy?" Discord asked. "Yes, I'm all set inside." She said pointing both hooves to her cottage. "Hey, Storm, Daisy, would you two like to stay for lunch?" Fluttershy asked. "That'd be wonderful, thank you very much." I said with Daisy smiling and nodding.
Miles POV
I can't figure it out..ever since I reunited with Maria/Tenderdrift, she's been giving this stern look. She seems to be upset at something..I can't put my hoof on it.
I walk upstairs to quickly put my bag away. I put it beside my bed. When I turn around, I see that Tenderdrift had followed me. "What's up, sis?" She seemed to be dealing with a lot of emotions at once.."...So this is where you're staying..?" She said shaky. "Yeah..Ever since Storm found herself in Ponyville, she has been stayed here. I wound up in an alleyway in Canterlot." I chuckled. She looked at me blankly. "So..why is it..that you left our world...for this place?" She said walking out to the deck as I followed. "Hey, I never left volunteering to come here!" I said raising my voice a bit. "How could I have even done that?" I asked her. "I don't know, maybe it was your 'mare in the moon'?" She said getting a bit snappy.
"I told you a million times! I'm not the only one who saw the figure! Remember Zoey was the one who saw it first." I said getting mad. "Well what about the game we were supposed to go to the night after you disappeared. Dad was looking forward to going and when you left, he was heartbroken!" She snapped. I started tearing up. "Well..Well..Do you think I asked to be here? No I didn't! Can I change any of what's happened? Not at all! You look at me like I use black magic." I steamed. "You know Daisy would have told me unicorns use magic, look at yourself." She cracked. "Hey, I didn't know I'd come here in the first place! I could have ended up in the Mushroom Kingdom if I had a choice." I hissed.
"Maybe you're better off here, I'm sure there are many pretty ponies for you to play with." Maria said bitterly. "Don't forget you're here too! So I guess both of us are stuck here." I said irritated. "Well then maybe things would be 'so much better' if I simply left this place altogether." She said furiously. "You know what, go ahead and do that! I wouldn't care less!" I outraged at everything she had said. "Fine!" "Fine!" Fine!" and with that, she flew away.
I breathed hard raged about everything. I never chose to come here! Who cares about what 'role' I have. I'm going to try to find a way back home asap.
I turned around to head down to the library. To my surprise, there is Spike. Looking upset, I had this dark feeling that he heard everything. "Ugh.." I groaned. "Miles..." Spike said looking at me. "Sigh...Spike..Don't take it too personal.." I said trying to cushion my big fall. I started to walk around him back into the bedroom. "I-...Is it true what you said..about you not wanting...to be here..?" Spike grieved. "Spike...sigh... I started to regret what I had said. "...Of course I don't...It's just...Maria..she can always..try to.." I looked at Spike who looked like he saw small hope. "I'm just going to..." I said walking towards the stairs. "Miles..wait.." A sad Spike said. "...I'm sorry Spike..." I said before walking down the stairs.
"Hey..Miles.." Twilight said. "Is everything ok?" She said as I walked past her. "Eh...things...have been better..." I rushed out the door. Regretting everything I had said.
Wow..Sounds like Jake and Maria have some thing to work out...
Will Jake ever make up with Maria and his friends? Where is Maria now? how will Spike think of his buddy now?
All these questions to answered in the next exciting chapter of The Pony Presence!
