Then and there, I was welcomed into the raspberry colored portal. As always, we floated around. But with less ponies with us.
"I don't know what will happen when we go through the next portal." I told the girls cautiously.
"Neither do we, but we've gotten through it all." Dash put her blue hoof on my shoulder as I unzipped the portal. And there it stood. Creatures, all fleshy and stuff. walking on two legs. And all bland colors as their flesh.
"What are those things?" I galloped out of the portal and everyone started to look at me.
"Pinkie. The right question to ask is-" Twilight started from inside the portal.
"What are you?" Applejack finished.
I stared down at myself, and I became a pink fleshy version of myself. With clothes. I became serious. I stared at the open portal and said, "There's no time to lose. Come on."
All of the pon- I mean fleshy creatures wobbled to get to me. They had to stand on two legs, just as I had.
"How do we look, um- normal?" Rarity asked, unsure how to control her two limbs.
"That doesn't matter, all that matters is that we get the ingredients from this world that we need." I checked the list and it read:
Ingredients for HUMAN REALM:
Banana
Salt
Milk
Salmon
Oak Tree Bark
Pine Needles
Gelatin Compound
Jade Crystal
"Pinkie, it actually does matter." Twilight informed me. She waddled over to me. "We don't want anyone to get onto our tai- I mean- hair?" She twirled the string-like object planted on her head.
"You're right." I walked over to the ledge of a fountain and sipped the water.
"Pinkie, that's not normal." Applejack pointed out.
"Oh, right." I walked away on two legs, still a little wobbly. "Let's find that store." I walked around until I found a complex with a giant apple at the top of it.
"This must be it." Dash jumped into the air, attempting to fly, but failed without wings. "Right, no wings." She snapped. "This world sucks." She stomped into the store as the automatic doors opened for us.
"This must be the way to the fruit section." I pointed to the place that had a big strawberry on it. We searched for the creamy, yellow fruit as Fluttershy grabbed it with her mouth. Twilight nudged her and Fluttershy held it with the stick-like body parts coming out of where her hooves should be.
"Dash, find a mixing pot." Of course, she followed my orders, and dashed out of the hallway. "Fluttershy, go outside to find the leaves and bark. Make sure it's from the right trees." She gracefully walked out the door and started to pick at an oak tree.
I walked around in a circle, and thought for a bit.
"Twilight, find the salmon. You're smart with everything." I sent her off. "Applejack, get the milk. You know about farm animals, right?" Finally Rarity. "Rarity, you can get the salt and gelatin compound."
"What does that have to do my special talent?" She whined.
"Find the prettiest colors, ok?" I sent her off after Applejack.
"And for me?" I walked straight for the employee's office. "I have a necklace to catch." When I walked in, at cashier 3, there was an employee with a jade necklace. I saw her leave her desk, detaching her necklace. I walked straight in, and found the necklace waiting there for me.
Perfect. The only problem was, she was after me.
"That's mine! THIEF!" She screamed, running after me. Dash was in the hallway, with the bowl in her hoo- I mean flesh sticks- and I plopped the banana in with the jade necklace. I had the bowl in my hands when I met Applejack in the dairy isle. She had a carton of milk, and I ripped it open with my teeth. It splattered into the bowl as I checked behind me for the woman.
This particular woman was very fast. She smelled of fresh strawberries, and sweat. She had a chestnut colored hair, with a highlight of blue in the front. Her hand had a ring on it, signifying her marriage.
Just as I thought. Right on my tail. I jumped onto a shelf and jumped over her. I walked next to Rarity, who then sprinkled the salt and the gelatin compound into the tin bowl. I found the guy, cutting up Twilight's salmon, as she swiftly grabbed right as the knife was about to go down. It splashed into the bowl, and splattered everywhere.
"Do you think Fluttershy has it ready by now?" Dash asked me.
"We better hope." I responded picking up my speed. The woman had a flare in her eyes, glaring at the 5 girls in front of her. In sync, we all gulped. Fluttershy just had it ready in time as she splashed it into the bowl.
"There." She said, grinning. The portal popped open with color, with the welcoming tint of raspberry color. We all jumped in, Fluttershy being the slowest. We grabbed her and pulled her in, zipped the portal closed, as the jade crystal popped out.
We were back to normal, thick skin and fur. Colors being normal, not standing on two legs. I had no gushy flesh on my limbs or face either. Just my normal furry self.
We all did our routine, catch our breath, and rest. The calming swirls of baby pink, black, and pomegranate filled the air.
Suddenly, the banana popped out of our side of the portal and Rainbow Dash grabbed it. She yanked it open with her teeth, popping the banana out. Applejack swallowed it with one gulp, and laughed.
"Slower the steadier!" Her mouth reeked of banana.
"That was mine, you know." She tackled the floating, orange pony and yanked her hair with her teeth.
"Guys, stop it." Twilight cautiously said. Even though, we all knew they were just having fun.
"You'll like... break the space-time-continuum." Rarity said, with her eyes shut, laying on her back.
"So Pinkie, what's next?" Fluttershy, shyly asked.
