(And welcome to my next chapter, where Cody, Jeremy, and Sabrina get new outfits, a tour, and a party.)
As the girls were showing Cody, Jeremy, and Sabrina through Ponyville, the three humans were looking around in surprise, "This is Ponyville?" Cody asked.
"Ya darn tootin'." Applejack assured him.
"Seems like a peaceful town." Sabrina admitted.
"Too peaceful." Jeremy noticed, "I mean it's like Pleasantville."
Pinkie gasped, "You know about Pleasantville?"
The three did a double take, as Jeremy asked, "Do you?"
"Well duh!" she answered, "Everypony knows about Pleasantville. It's a town where everypony there is pleasant."
The three face faulted, as Sabrina spoke, "That's not quite what he meant.
"We know there's a lot here for you to take in, but given time you'll learn to love it." Fluttershy explained.
"Somehow I feel as if it could take awhile." Cody replied, as he and his friends saw the multiple ponies that were passing by gazing at them with wide eyes filled with surprise, and their jaws hanging open.
Jeremy turned his head and saw some fillies and colts giving them the same looks as the older ponies. Finally tired of the awkwardness he spoke up in sarcasm, "Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer."
Suddenly, the kids whipped out cameras and started taking pictures of them using flash photography. The group was surprised that the kids took Jeremy's words seriously, and that they had cameras on standby, "AH, PAPARAZZI!" Jeremy cried, as the flash was starting to irritate his eyes.
"Come on yall, keep moving." Applejack said, as she and the girls continued nudging them to move forward and ignore the kids still taking pictures.
Meanwhile at Golden Oaks Library, Twilight was having Spike write up a letter for her to send to Princess Celestia. When she finished, Spike rolled up the letter and used his flames to transport the letter, "So you actually saw three humans?"
"That's right, but I have no idea how they got here, or wound up in the Everfree Forest." Twilight explained.
"And you didn't recognize them from Canterlot High in the other world?" Spike asked curiously.
"No. These must be different ones." Twilight theorized.
"Where are they now?" Spike asked.
"Right now I had Rarity take them over to her shop and outfit them with newer clothes." she explained.
Back with the group, they arrived at Carousel Boutique. As the three human entered, they looked around as Sabrina spoke, "Well love what you done to the place."
"Why thank you, Sabrina." Rarity thanked her, and suddenly spotted Jeremy was shielding his eyes as if in pain, "Everything ok?"
"Yes, but there's too much pink!" he cried.
"Jeremy." Cody chided him, and he ceased his joke.
"So what now?" Pinkie asked.
"Well the first thing to do is to get these three measured up, and make them some new outfits," Rarity began, as her eyes fell on Sabrina, "Ms. Sabrina, please come with me."
"Um, ok." Sabrina replied, as Rarity pulled her over behind a screen.
"Now just stand still as I take your measurements," Rarity instructed as she began her work, while the rest listened in, "Oh my you really seem to be growing right around here. Is it normal for girls to be this big in this area?"
"Please, don't poke me there!" Sabrina cried, from behind the screen.
"I'm just curious, darling." Rarity replied.
Cody and Jeremy just sat back, while their hands trembled, and their faces looked as if many thoughts were racing through their minds, 'Good God.' they thought in excitement.
Soon the screen slid over, and Rarity spoke to the boys, "Cody, Jeremy, come over here."
The boys stood up and walked over to Rarity, as Sabrina went over to the girls, "What was Rarity poking around on ya?" Applejack asked the girl.
"You don't wanna know." the human girl answered, as she crossed her arms over her chest sheepishly.
Rarity slid the screen to cover the boys and herself, as she started taking their measurements. When she was done, the boys took a spot next to Sabrina, as Rarity levitated them each of pad of paper and a pencil, "Now if you three desire your outfits in any particular style, give me some notes so I can make them to your liking." she instructed.
"Ok." Cody said as they each started writing down notes for Rarity to use.
When they finished, Rarity used her magic to levitate the notes back to her and spoke, "Ok if you three wait here patiently I'll have your new clothes ready in a jiffy."
The three nodded, as they sat back with A,J, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow. Rarity took the notes up to her work room, leaving the group to themselves. Cody curiously pulled out his cellphone, as Jeremy spoke, "What're you doing?"
"Seeing if I can get a call or message to my parents." he answered.
"We better try too." Sabrina agreed, as she and Jeremy checked their cells as well.
"What're those things?" Rainbow asked as she looked at the devices they were holding.
"These are cellphones." Cody anwered.
"Cell... phones?" Applejack asked, in confusion.
"Yeah it's what we use to keep in contact with each other when we're far away." Jeremy explained.
"Huh. We just write letters." Pinkie explained.
"Anything?" Sabrina asked the boys.
"I'm not getting a signal from any other cell." Cody sighed.
"Yeah me neither." Jeremy added
Sabrina looked at hers, "Well apparently we're only able to get signals from each others."
"Must be because we're all here together." Cody theorized.
"So we have no contact with the outside world?" Jeremy asked in worry.
"Apparently not." Cody sighed with Sabrina.
Seeing the three look down, Pinkie jumped over and spoke up, "Come on you guys. Turn those upside down smiles into right side up smiles."
The three couldn't help but smile at the pink pony's enthusiasm, "You really are an optimistic one aren't ya, Pinkie?" Cody asked.
"Of course. Being optimistic is the best quality to get through hard times." she explained.
"Pinkie's right, yall," Applejack agreed, "Why just you wait, by now Twilight's probably got a reply from Princess Celestia right this minute."
"Princess Celestia?" the three humans asked collectively.
"Who is that?" Cody asked.
"Twilight's mentor, and the monarch of the land." Fluttershy explained.
Sabrina gasped, "Your friend is the student of this whole lands ruler?"
"Well she's not as much of a student since she also became a princess." Rainbow admitted.
"Twilight's a princess too?" Cody asked.
"That's right." Pinkie replied with a grin.
"Hold on if this Celestia rules this whole land, wouldn't 'queen' be a better title?" Jeremy asked.
Before the four could answer, Rarity came downstairs, "All finished."
"Wow you work fast." Sabrina stated.
"Naturally," Rarity replied, "Now if you three would close your eyes and my friends will lead you up."
The three nodded and closed their eyes, as the other ponies led them up the stairs to Rarity's room. When they entered, the three were placed side by side, as Rarity spoke, "Ok open them."
The three opened their eyes, and were surprised as they saw their new clothes were on display for them. The outfit designed for Sabrina was composed of short jean shorts and a light magenta short sleeved shirt with black horizontal stripes. Cody's new clothes were composed of a neon green basketball style jersey with an image of numbers 07 in black and bold on both sides, and black jean shorts. Finally Jeremy's new outfit was composed of blue jean shorts and a black shirt with the image of a a white spider on it.
"What do you think?" Rarity asked for their opinions.
"Awesome!" Jeremy called.
"Sweet!" Sabrina cheered.
"Wicked!" Cody finished.
"Why don't you three try them on for size?" Rarity suggested.
"Don't mind if we do." Jeremy replied.
Pinkie suddenly gasped, "Oh my gosh, I just remembered something I had to do! Sorry girls, but I gotta go!" she dashed off.
"Where's she off to?" Sabrina asked in confusion, while the three humans were unaware of the ponies looking like they knew the reason.
"Oh ya never know with Pinkie Pie." Applejack answered.
"Well let's try these on." Cody said, as the three took their respective new clothes and each went into a changing room.
As the girls waited for them to finish changing, the first to step out was Jeremy who was admiring his new clothes, "Oh I look badass!" he cheered in excitement.
"You look cool." Rainbow admitted.
Next was Sabrina who was modeling her new outfit, while Fluttershy and Applejack hoof clapped, and Jeremy whistled. Sabrina blushed, but blushed further as Cody came out wearing his new clothes. Jeremy called out, "Oh yeah look good, brother!"
Rarity squinted her eyes at Cody with a hood under her chin, "Something seems to be missing," Cody was confused, until she spoke up, "I've got it!" she used her magic to levitate a blue bucket hat on Cody's head, "Perfect."
Cody and his friends looked at their reflections in a mirror and smiled, "Man the clothing companies would love to have Rarity as a designer." Cody told his friends, who nodded in agreement.
"Rarity, you're amazing." Sabrina smiled as the unicorn.
"Totally." Jeremy agreed.
Rarity blushed, "Oh thank you all. I'm glad to see you're all satisfied."
"So now that we got our new clothes, what do we do now?" Cody asked.
"I reckon yall could use a bite?" Applejack asked.
"Well I'm feeling a bit famished." Sabrina admitted.
"So am I." Cody added.
"Me too." Jeremy finished.
"Well let's go down to Sugarcube Corner." Rainbow suggested.
"Sugarcube Corner?" Sabrina asked.
"What's that?" Jeremy wondered.
"Come on we'll show ya." Rainbow said, as the four mares showed them out.
As they walked through town again, they saw Twilight and Spike, "Twilight! Spike, over here!" Applejack called.
"Hey guys," Twilight spoke up, and saw the three humans in their new clothes, "Wow Rarity you really outdid yourself."
"Thank you, Twilight." she thanked her.
The three humans looked down and saw the little dragon at Twilight's side, "Holy crap is that a dragon?!" Jeremy gasped.
"Oh my God, you're right!" Cody gasped as the three got down to Spike's level.
"He's so small." Sabrina gasped in admiration.
"Well he's a baby dragon after all." Twilight noted.
"A baby dragon?" the three asked.
Spike nodded, "That's right. Spike the dragon. Nice to meetcha." he extended a claw.
"Dragons can talk too?" Sabrina gasped.
"Well some can in movies." Jeremy reminded her.
"Nice to meet ya, Spike," Cody shook his claw, "My name's Cody. This is Jeremy, and Sabrina." the two waved at him.
"Where are you all off to now?" Twilight asked.
"The girls are taking us to some place called Sugarcube Corner." Cody explained.
"Of course," Twilight smiled, "We'll join you as well."
"Then let's go." Rainbow said, as they continued on.
Soon they stood outside the building, and based off the exterior design, the three humans could already tell what kind of place it was, "A sweets shop?" Cody asked.
"That's right." Applejack nodded.
"This place makes some of the best sweets in town." Fluttershy explained.
"I can already feel sugar rush coming to me, guys." Jeremy said in excitement.
"Come on. Let's go in." Twilight said as she, her number one assistant, and four of her closest friends showed the three inside.
As they went inside, they noticed the place was dark, until the lights came on, and noisemakers were heard. They looked around seeing just about everypony in town. On the ceiling were baloons and party streamers coiling around the pillars. Tables were cluttered with party treats, and hanging above was a sign titled, 'Welcome to Equestria!'. Cody, Jeremy, and Sabrina looked around in wonder and shock, until Cody spoke up, "What is all of this?"
Pinkie bounced over, "It's a welcome party for you guys." she grinned.
"Welcome party?" Sabrina asked Pinkie's friends.
"Pinkie always throws a party for anypony new in Ponville." Rarity explained.
"And her parties are awesome." Rainbow smiled.
"Wow thanks for doing all this for us, Pinkie." Cody thanked her.
"It was nothing. Making others happy is my thing." she smiled brightly.
The three teens smiled at each other, until the ponies flocked to them and began asking them questions right from left, until Jeremy broke them up, "Whoa, whoa there! Reign it in ponies. We'll be more than happy to answer some basic questions, but this is a party so let's enjoy it!" the ponies cheered.
Soon the three were sitting at a table, while answering some questions the ponies were asking them, while also sampling some of the delicious sugary treats cooked up by the Cake family, "Mm, this cake is delicious." Cody said as he ate some.
"I'll say. This stuff is gonna go to my thighs." Sabrina joked.
Jeremy meanwhile was having one of his hands felt up by the unicorn pony Lyra, "Wow, so firm. You must have an incredibly strong grip." she said in wonder.
"Yeah I do have that," Jeremy admitted, while thinking, 'This one sure has an admiration for hands.'
As everypony continued to enjoy the party, they were startled as Princess Celestia entered the shop. Upon seeing her, eveyrpony bowed to her, as the three humans were surprised, "Is that the princess?" Cody asked Twilight.
"Yes. So you'd be wise to bow." she answered, and the three did so out of respect.
"How'd she know to come here?" Rainbow asked Twilight.
"Well Pinkie did say she was planning to throw a party, and this is her favorite spot to old them. So I put in my letter where to meet us." she answered.
Princess Celestia smiled at all her subjects and announced, "You may rise, everypony."
The ponies, and humans rose up, as Twilight and her friends trotted over, "Welcome Princess." Twilight greeted her.
"We're so glad you could come." Pinkie added.
"Well I wouldn't miss it," she began, "Now where are these three humans you spoke of, Twilight?"
Twilight turned and looked over at the three, "Hey guys. Come on over here."
The three looked at each other before walking forward to the tall equine identified as Princess Celestia. Soon they stood before her, looking part nervous and part enamored. The princess spoke up, "Greetings to the three of you. I am Princess Celestia; monarch of the land Equestria."
"We're honored to meet you, your excellency." Sabrina replied, as the three bowed their heads.
Celestia smiled, "Now could you three tell me your names?"
"I'm Cody Harrison."
"Sabrina Taylor."
"And I'm Jeremy Price," Jeremy began, "And personally your highness, if you were a human I'd totally date you."
"Jer!" Cody and Sabrina scolded him, while Twilight and her friends looked nervous at what he bluntly told the princess.
"What? It's a compliment," Jeremy countered, "Isn't being honest one of those elements of harmony things?" Applejack rolled her eyes.
"But that's no way to behave in front of a princess!" Sabrina chided him.
"I'm so sorry, Princess." Cody apologized to her on Jeremy's behalf, while the princess of the sun had a faint blush upon her face, until she shook it off.
"It's quite all right," she assured him, "Now Twilight told me, her friends Fluttershy and Applejack found you in the middle of the Everfree Forest. What is the last thing you three remember before arriving?"
"Other than getting caught in some freakish storm and then going over a guard rail, nothing." Cody explained.
"What do you make of it, Princess?" Twilight asked as he friends were also eager to know.
"Well such teleportation magic is very ancient, and is so rare we don't even have such spells in the castle library." Celestia explained.
"So you can't determine what brought us here, but can you at least find a spell that can send us back?" Sabrina asked hopefully.
"I'm afraid it's not going to be that easy." Celestia said looking down.
"It's not?" Cody asked.
She shook her head, "Unless we can determine what kind of teleportation spell was cast to bring you three here we cannot find any means of sending you home."
"So there's a chance we're gonna be trapped here for life?" Jeremy asked nervously.
Celestia could only give a look of remorse hating to even bring up such a possibility, "Well this about broke the mood." Sabrina said dryly.
"No! I can't be stuck here!" Jeremy started panicking, "I NEVER GOT TO SEE VEGAS!"
Cody was also in shock thinking he may never see his family again, but knew he had to keep his friends calm, "Guys!" he called, as they ceased their worry, "Look I know you're both in shock and worry about our situation, but panicking like this isn't going to get us home any quicker."
"He's right," Twilight spoke up, grabbing their attention, "Because we're gonna help you."
"You are?" Sabrina and Jeremy asked.
"You betcha." Applejack agreed.
"If there's one thing we can't stand it's seeing somepony in trouble and desperately needs help." Rarity added.
"And you guys look like you need it." Rainbow noted.
"Girls," Cody gasped, until a smile grew on his face, "Thanks."
"No problem." Pinkie smiled.
"And besides didn't you say were on summer vacation anyway?" Twilight asked, as the three nodded, "Well why not treat Equestria as your vacation spot?"
Cody gasped realizing that, "Hey you're right! Why didn't I think of that?" he turned to his friends, "Jeremy, Sabrina, I understand you guys are still worried about your families wondering where you are, believe me so am I. But we have a golden opportunity here. We're in another world with no parents to tell us what to do, no annoying siblings to get on your nerves or get you in trouble," Sabrina flinched, "And best of all it's our summer vacation!"
Jeremy and Sabrina were taking all Cody was saying to heart, as he continued, "So come on are we gonna just mope around miserably while we're here?"
"No." the two answered.
"That's right. I'll tell ya what we're gonna do. We're gonna party, we're gonna be free, and we're gonna have a good time! Do you know why?"
"Why?" they asked.
"Because this is the Summer of Fun!" he declared.
"Yeah!" Sabrina and Jeremy cheered with their spirits raised again.
The three looked around seeing the ponies looking at them awkwardly, before they began cheering as well. Cody smiled at his friends, "I declare the Summer of Fun has officially begun."
"Cool!" the two cheered.
Sabrina suddenly realized, "Well there's something I wonder about you guys."
"What's that?" Jeremy asked.
"Where are we gonna stay?" she asked, as the two looked concerned as well.
"That is a problem." Cody admitted.
"Maybe you can bunk with one of us?" Pinkie suggested.
The three looked as Jeremy spoke, "As long as it's not at Fluttershy's cottage," he looked at the pegasus, "Sorry Fluttershy, but I'm afraid you bunny will try and kill me in my sleep." Fluttershy was confused.
"Well you can bunk with me and Spike if you want?" Twilight offered.
"Really?" they asked.
"Sure, plus I live in a library so we can get you three started on some of Equestria's basic history and all. That way your time here will be less confusing." she explained.
Cody smiled at his friends, "Our problem is solved."
"True, but still I won't be satisfied until we figure out what brought us here." Sabrina noted.
Meanwhile in the deepest part of the Everfree Forest inside a cave, the shadow creature from before entered and found a unicorn wearing a cloak to shroud it's form, "Master." the shadow spoke.
The figure spoke in a dark male voice, "Yes, Crowl?"
"I've discovered the results of your transportation spell." the shadow creature, identified as Crowl spoke
"And?" he asked.
"It did not summon the monsters you desired."
"WHAT?!" he bellowed, as Crowl trembled, "Then what did it summon?"
"Three hairless ape like creatures." he answered truthfully.
The pony figure groaned in frustration, as he used his magic to levitate a large black archive before him. He opened up to a passage containing ancient text, "I'm gonna need to translate this whole archive even closer, so I don't make the same mistake again."
"What of the three creatures you accidentally summoned?" the shadow asked.
"They don't matter to me," he answered, "All that matters is that I fully translate this ancient dark archive and learn all the secrets of underworld magic. Only then can I fulfill my destiny to turn all of Equestria into my dark empire!" he laughed maniacally as his eyes glowed red.
(And there's the chapter. The three teens have new clothes, and a place to stay during their time in Equestria. But who is this unicorn who unintentionally summoned them, and will the three have the fun Summer that they were planning to have? Stay tuned for next time.)
