Chapter 2

A Splash Of Color

When the light faded, the boys were lying on their backs, dazed and barely clinging onto consciousness. Hazel eyes opened, and Masaomi leaned up, rubbing his head with his strangely hard hand. "Ow," he muttered.

Mikado moaned and leaned up as well. He shook his head clear of the cobwebs and glanced up. Before him was a yellow...Pony? Pegasus? "Um..." he began slowly. Suddenly, the yellow Pegasus fell on his back, laughing loudly and pointing one hoof at him.

Mikado was sure if he should be baffled, annoyed, or offended. "Mikado!" the Pegasus laughed. "You look like a My Little Pony!"

There was a pause, then Mikado huffed. "So do you," he growled. Instantly, the Pegasus (which Mikado soon assumed was Masaomi) was in a sit up, check himself over. "What do I look like? A Pegasus, too?"

Masaomi snorted (and it sounded like a real horse instead of a normal, human noise) and shook his head. "You're a Unicorn. Ha! You're a Unicorn! At least I can fly!"

Mikado lifted a hoof to glance at his color. "At least I'm a shade and not a pretty-colored sky horse," he shot back. It was true; Mikado was a thick, charcoal black from head to toe – mane and tail included – except for his eyes, which remained sky blue while Masaomi was a soft yellow, like the sunlight on an open field, all over, his eyes a gentle honey color. "Wow, you're pretty boring looking..."

"Shut up," Masaomi snarled (er, neighed), getting to his feet. Out of instinct, he pushed himself to stand on his hind legs, balancing the best he could. "Let's go."

If Mikado could say anymore, he would have told Masaomi he looked stupid trying to walk like that. Maybe he should, before anyone saw him. "Masaomi," he sighed. "Just walk like what you are for now. We probably shouldn't try to stand out too much."

Masaomi dropped himself onto all fours and growled. "You know, if we don't fit in because we didn't learn to walk on two legs, I'm blaming you."

Mikado rolled his eyes and sighed. He looked around for a moment as Masaomi kicked and bucked to get used to the "new controls" of his body then proceeded up the hill to get a better view of their surroundings. "Hey, look," he said, pointing at the bottom. "I see a village. We should go there and see if we can figure anything out."

The Pegasus looked up and trotted up to his friend's side, also looking down at the small village. It wasn't that big at all. It seemed to have been teeming with little Ponies such as Mikado and Masaomi were currently stuck as. The village was surrounded by an apple farm on one end, a forest on the other, with two ways out of the area. A rainbow unnaturally formed itself in the sky.

It reminded Mikado of Saitama.

"Weird," Masaomi muttered. "I guess we better go. It only makes sense, I guess." The bo-...colts exchanged looked then began down the hill. "Alright, here's the plan. We're just travellers passing by. They must know what Ikebukuro is, so we can just say we got lost and they'll send us on a plane back to Bukuro."

Mikado glared at Masaomi. "Are you stupid?" he hissed. "We are Ponies, and, as far as I can tell, they don't have planes. And something tells me we aren't even in our dimension."

The blond looked forward. "We're just in a dream. We'll wake up soon."

Mikado face-hoofed himself.

Suddenly, there was a loud, exasperated gasp. Both colts jumped in surprise and looked around. Eventually, they spotted a pink Pony, staring at them, jaw wide open, from the village gates. Then, she turned and ran off into the village as fast as she could.

Mikado and Masaomi exchanged unsure looks, then continued down the hill cautiously. They made it down to the road and walked down the road in through the village gates. The rainbow had faded by then. They walked in and looked around. At first, there was no one. Then, a Pony trotted out from one of the houses, looked around until she spot them, smiled, and trotted over.

The colts exchanged unsure looks.

"Hi," greeted the purple filly, smiling in a friendly fashion. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, and welcome to Ponyville."

For a long time, the colts were silent, jaws dropped, eyes wide. Twilight tilted her head to one side, trying to figure out why the males were acting so strangely silent. Mikado was the first to move, lowering his head and tilting his ears back shyly. "Oh, heh heh...Thanks..." he chuckled nervously.

Twilight gave a nervous smile and turned partially. "Well, if you'll follow me, I think Pinkie Pie has a surprise for you."

Mikado was tempted to ask who, but decided against it and followed. When he realized Masaomi was still in shock, he turned around and literally dragged his truly frozen friend (all his limbs were stiff as a bored) after Twilight.

By the time they got to the door, however, the shock wore off from Masaomi and he was walking fine on his own, except for the part where he was dragging his nose along the ground. "Chin up," Mikado whispered to him. "We don't want to offend them. Just pretend you're a pretty-colored Pony who belongs here. We'll attract a lot less attention."

Masaomi sighed and lifted his head, but his ears were still folded back. "I seriously can't believe this is happening," he muttered. He looked back up at the sky and groaned. "This is my punishment for breaking your remote..."

Mikado rolled his eyes at his friend's dramatic words and sighed under hie breath, "Yeah? Then why did I get dragged into this?"

"Well?" The colts looked up and Twilight was standing just inside the door. "Are you going to stand out there all day, or are you coming in?"

Mikado glanced at Masaomi and Masaomi sighed. Slowly, they both walked in. The lights flicked on and there was a huge explosion-like sound that probably could have been three dozen voices yelling, "Surprise!"

Mikado yelped and stiffened instantly while it was Masaomi who loosened up. "Hey, I like parties," he said. "I wonder if there is any alcohol..."

The pepper's ears perked and he hoofed Masaomi in the arm. Masaomi ignored it.

"Goody!" a pink Pony (which Mikado and Masaomi recognized as the Gasping Pony) cheered, literally hopping up to them. "Visitors! Did you like the surprise? Huh, huh, huh?"

Masaomi chuckled nervously. "Ah, yeah...Thanks."

"Yay!" the pink Pony cheered. "He likes the surprise! Party begins!" And, with that, she blew into a party noise maker and the party commenced.

Most Ponies ignored the guests and went straight to food (which relieved Mikado for the most part) until they were approached by an orange-yellow pony with a cowboy hat and three apples on her hips trotted up to them. "Howdy!" she smiled, her country-like accent catching Mikado's interest. "Welcome to Ponyville. I'm Applejack."

"Thanks," Mikado replied. "I'm Mikado and this is Masaomi."

"Mika-what-now?"

Mikado and Masaomi exchanged unsure glances. Before they could explain themselves, three other Ponies approached them; one that looked shockingly similar to Masaomi, a pretty Unicorn with a purple mane, and the hyper pink Pony from earlier.

"Oh, oh!" the pink one yipped. "I wanna introduce myself first! I'm Pinkie Pie!"

The pretty Unicorn tossed her mane and batted eyelashes at the two colts. "I'm Rarity, and must I say your hairstyle is so last season."

"Needs to be washed," Masaomi muttered, blowing his hair – mane, whatever – out of his eyes.

Rarity pouted a bit, but remained silent. The next Pony, a yellow Pegasus a soft, but brighter, yellow similar to Masaomi's (Masaomi was more golden in contrast), stepped forward. Her voice was barely audible and Mikado was forced to think of Anri. "I'm, um...I'm Fluttershy..." she whispered, looking away a bit.

Mikado smiled a bit. These girls...ah, fillies, were really something.

At that moment, Twilight walked up to them and glanced at them. "It's nice to have you here in Ponyville." She smiled at them all before realization took over. "Wait, where's-"

"Twitchy tail!" Pinky Pie yelped from and ducked under the table. Almost everyone else took cover, too, leaving the colts baffled. "Ears flapping, eyes batting, knees shaking...!"

Suddenly, the door swung open and a rainbow slammed into Masaomi (which he didn't even think was possible). Mikado flinched and Masaomi and the rainbow tumbled into the middle of the floor. Masaomi was dazed for a moment before he opened his eyes. "What the-"

"Woo! What a landing! Hey, what's everyone doing under the table?"

If she had been a human girl, Masaomi might have kissed her. Except, they were Ponies now and that sort of behavior might not have been acceptable. After all, it was a Children's show. "Hi," he said, hoping to earn her attention.

The rainbow-maned Pegasus looked down and smiled. "Hi!" she chirped. Then puzzlement took over and she looked around. "Did I miss something?"

"Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie chirped, bouncing over to her. "I'm so glad you could make it! We have new visitors in Ponyville! Isn't this great? We're throwing them a party!"

Slowly, Rainbow Dash stepped off Masaomi's chest and looked him over. Masaomi remained frozen until she turned her attention to the pepper peeling himself off the wall behind the door. He shook his head and looked at Rainbow Dash before looking away, nervous. He hated it when people stared at him.

Most of the Ponies were just getting out from under the table when Rainbow Dash shrugged. "They seem okay to me."

"Yay!" Pinkie Pie cheered, jumping up and down unnecessarily. Twilight sighed.

"Yeah, but have you heard their names?" Applejack asked, pointing at them both. "I can't even pronounce that!"

Masaomi brought himself to his feet and folded his ears back. "There's nothing strange about our names." he muttered. "Masaomi and Mikado." All the Ponies exchanged unsure glances. Then, with his most charming smile, he said, "but you ladies can call me whatever you like!"

Mikado sighed, defeated.
