"Oh, my word! Sister...what happened to the land!?" Indeed, it looked like someone just dropped a large piece of land near Ponyville and forcibly shoved into the earth! Even more incredible, the Everfree Forest had seemingly doubled in size!
"Wait...no it hasn't." Thought Celestia surprise, she uses her magic to double-check...but yes! It would seem that a forest just as large as the Everfree had plopped up right next to it! So close that their borders were forcibly crunched together...and the magic she was sensing from the NEW forest...it was unlike any magic Equestria had ever seen! And just being near it...sent a feeling of dread down her spine...
"Sister, look! The ponies have gathered!" Celestia followed Luna's hoof...and sure enough...the ponies have gathered near...a new town? And...HUMANS!? Desperate to make sense of all this...the alicorn sisters began their descent.
...
"I'M GOING TO NEED A BIGGER CAKE PAN!" Shouted Pinkie excitedly as the eager humans crowded around her to place their orders for the party...
BOOM!
GOOD PEOPLE OF EQUESTRIA! WE HAVE COME!
Everyone screamed in fear...except for Mayor Befufftlefumpter...who simply woke up...took one look at Luna and... "Ah, the grim reaper I've been expecting you..." He said in aching resignation.
Celestia slapped her own face frustrated, "Sister, Sweetie. We've talked about this...we don't use the 'bang Royal Canterlot' voice anymore." She said in gentle chastisement.
Luna blushed, She was still getting used to life around other ponies again-
NIGHTMARE MOON IS BACK!
CRACK!
-Although right now she'd settle for wondering how that young human boy managed to get to her and punch her to the ground so quickly!
SISTER!
Screamed a horrified Celestia as all the ponies gasped in horror(especially the main six who looked like they were on the verge of a stroke- okay mostly Twilight -but they were all freaking), they hadn't really believed the Mane six when they said that someone would actually HURT their beloved royalty...only now they see the truth!
Before anyone could respond, Dipper was on top of the downed Luna pulling out a cord and choking her with it- "QUICK! GUYS! USE THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY AGAIN! YOU HIT HER AND I'LL STAKE HER THROUGH THE HEART! THAT'S BOND TO KILL HER FOR GOOD THIS TIME!" He shouted as Luna started to turn blue(er) from lack of oxygen-
...this did little to calm everyone down...
...
"Wait, let me get this straight: After I left; it turned out the elements of Harmony just 'magically' made Luna good again instead of killing her?" Said Dipper skeptically shorty after he'd been pried off Luna.
"Yep! Were all good friends now!" Shouted Pinkie Pie happily. "Indeed the evil that she created with her jealousy that in turn possessed her has been vanquished" , affirmed Celestia happily. "I assure you Dipper, my sister is no longer a threat to anyone."
Dipper rolled his eye's, "Right...because YOUR assurance means so much to me." Said Dipper sarcastically. All the nearby Ponies gasped...and Celestia blanched. "When was the last time any pony ever doubted me? To my face at least..." She thought awkwardly...she didn't like to admit it...but she was VERY used to everyone just obeying/trusting/respecting her immediately without question... Now in fairness to her; she was wise and benevolent enough to not be arrogant , abuse this fact, or even take it for granted...she also knew she needed to respect the opinions of ALL- even those who were against her...but the simple fact of it was...it had been CENTURIES since ANYONE had a differing opinion to her!...as such- much to her embarrassment...she realized that she didn't really know HOW to deal with it.
So now she was left reeling in (mostly)unknown waters...cautious and flat footed...but also nostalgic at the same time. "I...remember what this is like. (Hee. hee.) I haven't been treated like this since Star Swirl taught us as filly's. To not be revered or looked up to. Treated as if my word matters no more than any other pony...it's interesting." She realized.
Meanwhile, the people of Gravity Falls were getting over the chaos...and were taking in the splendor of their regal new rulers- "Eeeeeeek pretty princess pony!" Screamed a girlish squeal of delight. Everyone looks back and is shocked at who it came from. Manly Dan blushing coughs into his hand embarrassed. "Uh...who said that? Pretty wussy...whoever they are." He lied lamely as Wendy face-palmed in embarrassment.
"Now how can you like that one better?" Asked Blubs confused. "Ohhhhh! just look at 'er! Her hair looks like a majestic night sky!" Squealed Durland in delight. His partner tried to calm him down. "Okay, okay man! I hear yah! But play it cool! We'll only get one shot at a first impression here!" He urged. Durland nodded, "Cool! Right! Got it!"
Unaware that she could hear them...and trying hard to hide a small smile of still being able to impress people with her entrance...she turned back to Dipper.
"Right...onto business...Dipper, although I'm glad that Twilight is reunited with you and that she's happy...I can't help but notice that you've...brought a town here." Said Celestia delicately.
Dipper groaned, "Look...I lived in a world where magic is practically nonexistent...traveling between dimensions is a complex spell that requires a LOT of magical energy! The land that Gravity Falls rests on was literally the only thing with enough magical power to power the spell! And the only way to get THAT with the limited resources a 12 year old middle-class/lower-class boy has was to weave the spell so that it included the land itself...I'd like to have seen you do better." He stated gruffly.
Celestia frowned at that, "Okay, fine fair enough. You accomplished something grand despite your limited resources- But the fact remains that you've forcibly ripped a bunch of people from their world and dimension without their consent or a way to send them back!" She pointed out.
"Actually were okay with this!" Shouted Lazy Susan, and there was a chorus of agreement from everyone else in town. Now this REALLY left Celestia baffled.
"What?! But- you've been torn away from everything you knew and loved!" She shouted in disbelief.
"Well actually, were kinda an isolated town...so 'Everything we knew and loved' actually came with us." Explained Toby.
"Oh...okay then...but...really? Your okay with suddenly finding yourself trapped in a strange new land?" Asked Celestia in disbelief.
Wendy laughed, "Lady, in the brief time we've been here we've seen nothing but cute, friendly, TALKING ponies who just want to be our friend and throw us a party- pauses to hug some nearby ponies for emphasis -I think I speak for everyone when I say were willing to see were this crazy ride takes us!" There's a large cheer from everyone to emphasize her point.
"Oh...well...good! That's good then!...I guess." Said a slightly frazzled Celestia as she turned back to Dipper.
"Okay, fine. They might be...surprisingly okay about the situation. But you've dropped an ENTIRE town from a different world filled with a new species literally right on our doorsteps!...there's much that needs to be seen to!"
She turned to the gathered humans; "Attention Humans! I welcome you to Equestria! I hope this is the start of wonderful friendship between us and your species! However, it is imperative that I speak to your political and law enforcement officers immediately! We have much to discuss!"
"That's us Bubs! She's calling us!" Cried out Durland in panic. "I know! I know! Just be cool! Be cool!" They reaffirmed each others confidence and grabbed the Mayors wheelchair and quickly (yet in poorly nonchalant fashion) came before them.
Luna groaned as she rubbed her still sore neck and jaw, "She didn't know what hurt more...her trachea or the rightfully suspicious and accusatory stare of that Pine boy who clearly still saw her as the monster who nearly killed his friends...
Putting these depressing thoughts aside, she joined Celestia as the cops came forward...both Sisters looked at the Wheelchair in confusion.
"Uh...forgive my ignorance of your customs...but why have you brought this...corpse before us?" Asked a confused and slightly disgusted Celestia as her sister nodded in agreement.
"Is that you Ma?" Chocked out the Mayor suddenly.
"SWEET STAR SWIRL, IT'S ALIVE!?" Shouted both sisters...only to fluster as they realized what they blurted out. "Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean-
"Oh, relax! He gets mistaken for a corpse 7 times a day! There's a reason why we keep him hooked to this thing to make sure he's alive, after all." Babbled Blubs nervously as he pointed out the portable heart rate monitor the mayor was hooked up to.
"Oh...okay then." Said Celestia slightly weirded out, but she quickly tried to compose herself.
"Uh, my good sir. I welcome-
Beeeeeeep...
Both sisters gasped in horror as the hear rate monitor flatlined suddenly. "Oh! Sorry! Hold on a sec!" He quickly pulls out a portable defibulator and quickly restarted his heart, "Apples! Where are you!?" Shouted the Mayor. Blubs gave Celestia a thumbs up.
Although Startled by this turn of events...Celestia nevertheless composed herself once more and began again.
"Uh...My good sir I-
Beeeeep...
"Yeah, this happens a lot." Said Blubs with a shrug as he uses the defibulator again, "Martha! Who ate my spittoon!?" Shouted the Mayor.
Uh...Sir? I'd like to-
Beeeeep...
"Look, just keep talking, don't backtrack! We'll be here all night otherwise! He'll get the gist of it!...more or less!" Explained Blubs as he jump started his heart again, "Who's been putting frogs in my butter!?" Shouted the Mayor.
"Sir, do you need medical-
Beeeeeep...
And this went on...the ponies didn't know what was more disturbing...this old man's constant dying...or the nonchalant attitude the humans seemed to have toward it...
After fifty flatlines-
Luna slaps her own face in annoyance, "Oh, for the love of- Look, is there Someone else- ANYONE else we can talk to!?" She demanded.
Before Celestia can reprimand her sisters rudeness- "Oh, sure. Just talk to Preston Northwest. He's just as good as talking to the mayor if not better!" Said Blubs with a smile.
Celestia looked at him in confusion, "Wait, then why didn't you bring him in the first- She shook her head- Never mind, Just bring him here."
"No need your majesty! I'm already here!" Preston Northwest was a hard man to shake-up...still even he'd have to admit(to just himself of course, he wouldn't be caught dead admitting weakness) that the current situation had caught him off guard...still one did not become part of the 'fiction 500' in the cutthroat world of finance without being able to adapt- and more importantly exploit -extreme circumstances...he'd been spending this whole time getting the lay of the land and winning over the various ponies...which as it turns out is even easier then humans! Many of the ponies are reminded of those delightful traveling Salesmen brothers Flim and Flam...
Preston kiss her hoof, "Your majesty what a pleasure it is to meet you! I'm Preston Northwest, CEO of Northwest industries, richest man in town, head of the city council, and trusted advisor of the Mayor! I can honestly say that anything you want, will be your's within a heartbeat!"
"Oh, boy." Here we go said Stan to himself as he rolled his eyes.
"Oh, well that's good to hear!" Said Celestia happy to get things back on track, they then began to talk of the future of the town and how it would concern Equestria...

Mable groaned as she drowsily got out of her mess...and walked outside of the Shack to see what the commotion was...

TO BE CONTINUED?
AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.
But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?
Love me, flame me, review me
