  1. In response to the "Why is it ponies IN Earth?" posts (Tom counts as a pony shut up)
  2. The Unremarkable Life and Death of Thomas Daniels
  3.  
  4. >Day Tom on Earth
  5. >You are a boulder
  6. >But you're not just any boulder
  7. >You are a boulder FROM EQUESTRIA!
  8. >Unfortunately, boulders from Earth and Equestria are indistinguishable
  9. >You erode over several millenia and become dust before anyone discovers your secret
  10. >People stop complaining about the name of the thread because now you're part of the Earth and therefore in it
  11. >Your sacrifice is forgotten, but the consequences of it last forever
  12.  
  13.  
  14. Planetside 2 gets pone'd
  15. Your Best Is My Worst
  16.  
  17. >Day 'live free in the NC' on Auraxis
  18. >The nanites put your body together at the Indar warpgate, same as always
  19. >You suited up as an engineer and got ready to kill and die, same as always
  20. >You went to the vehicle terminal and had the nanites put together a Vanguard heavy tank with a 150 millimeter autoloading mixed chemical/magnetic propulsion main cannon loaded with high explosive shells, an E540 recoilless rifle in a remote mounting on the turret's roof, a heavy nanite mesh armor generator for when you don't feel getting the custom camo-job scratched, explosive reactive applique armor plates, and a high maneuverability chassis with neon blue undercarriage lights because FUCK LIGHT DISCIPLINE, YOU HAVE A TANK
  21. >You love your job
  22. >You could have made this tank closer to the front lines, but you feel like taking the scenic route to Crown Plateau, aka Grinder Hill, aka that stupid tactically insignificant rock that everyone fights over for some reason
  23. >It's an uneventful drive
  24. >You hit the cruise control and check the map on a straightaway
  25. >Looks like the Terran Republic fascists/commies/whatevers are attacking from Crossroads Watchtower across the valley
  26. >You drive over Snake Ravine and spot the motherload of dismounted infantry coming out of an Advanced Mobile Station
  27. >You drive a bit closer to get a better shot
  28. >And you hit two tank mines simultaneously, destroying you and your sweet ride instantaneously
  29. >Fuckin' tank mines
  30.  
  31.  
  32. >You get put back together at the top of "The Crown" and suit up as an engie again
  33. >You start walking around, distributing ammunition where it's needed
  34. >You go up to the top of the defense tower and settle in with the armored exoskeleton guys who are shooting down the TR's "Mosquito" interceptor jets with the twin flak cannons on their suits' arms
  35. >Slowly, the fighting dies down
  36. >You think that's kind of weird, because there are obviously still people attacking and defending
  37. >Everyone you can see from the top of the tower is looking at a single point
  38. >Dafuq is going on?
  39. >You lean over the guardrail to see what it is
  40. >It looks like some white horse unicorn pegasus thing with weird hair
  41. >It speaks in a loud, booming, female voice
  42. >"Quit yer shit! I'm taking this rock!"
  43. >EVERONE'S guns are aimed at her now
  44. >There is a single, omnidirectional *click* as you pull the trigger
  45. >"The fuck, man? My gun doesn't work!"
  46. >"Mine too!"
  47. >"This is bullshit! This thing's trial period ends in ten minutes!"
  48. >Horse lady speaks again
  49. >"YEEEAAHH I OWN THIS SHIT! FUCK OFF, ALL OF YOU!"
  50. "You took our guns, you bitch!"
  51. >"DAMN STRAIGHT, MOFUGGAS!"
  52. "Control is a means of oppression!"
  53. >"I want my gun back!"
  54. >"Nine and a half!"
  55. >Just then, a Mosquito pilot buzzes right over her head, no less than two meters from her and inverted
  56. >He's got the cockpit popped open and is yelling something
  57. >The Doppler effect makes it sort of hard to tell what he's saying
  58. >"lllleeeeOOOOONNNNEHHH IS BETTuuuuuuuuur!"
  59.  
  60.  
  61. >A chorus of agreement erupts
  62. >"Celestia is worst pony!"
  63. >"Booooo!"
  64. >"I didn't vote for you!"
  65. >"Nine minutes!"
  66. >You hear a whirring behind you, then silence
  67. >Someone is speaking in a scratchy, walkie-talkie sounding voice
  68. >It shouts
  69. >"TWILIGHT IS BEST PONY!"
  70. >Right into your ear
  71. >You look away from horse lady for a split second
  72. >Directly behind you, there is a Vanu Soverignty infiltrator in spandex and one of those weird robotic-ass helmets, force blade in hand, paused mid-stab
  73. >He let his cloak run out to say that
  74. "Ow! The hell, bro? My ears are ringing!"
  75. >"My bad."
  76. >Someone else yells out
  77. >"Applejack is superior!"
  78. >And then another
  79. >"Fluttershy or death!"
  80. >And then another
  81. >"Rarity is mai waifu!"
  82. >And then another
  83. >"Eight and a half!"
  84. >And another and another and another until it becomes an indecipherable rabble
  85. >This eventually becomes a fight between the TwiShyfags, the AppleDashfags, and the RariPiefags
  86. >Everyone got new guns, and the fighting started anew
  87. >Nothing changed on the day that Celestia got drunk and solo-capped The Crown
  88. >Just another day on Auraxis
  89.  
  90.  
  91.  
  92. In response to requests for another pony in LD + my weird conviction that Rainbow Dash would love kungfu movies
  93. LD-based one-shot: Dashie comes to Earth somehow. Goes fangirl, ruins everything. Film at 11.
  94.  
  95. "I'm just saying that I think you're unhealthily obsessed."
  96. >Her magenta eyes lock with your not-magenta eyes as she dives into a perfect eye-level hover
  97. >She's giving you the 'Jackie Chan' look
  98. >Yes, you actually had to come up with a name for that expression
  99. >It's a mixture of frustration at having to explain how awesome Jackie Chan is, disappointment for not liking Jackie Chan as much as her, and pity for those who will never know the joys of Jackie Chan
  100. >To the untrained eye, it's identical to the 'Wonderbolts' look
  101. >"No, Jake, you don't get it. This is JACKIE CHAN we're talking about, okay?!"
  102. "I realize that. We've had this conversation more times than I care to count."
  103. >"And it never gets through your thick zombie-monkey skull! Jackie Chan is awesome!"
  104. "I hear your voice repeating those words when I'm trying to sleep."
  105. >"And it still doesn't get through. Jackie Chan is the funniest, awesomest human alive. Twilight, is there a single word that means funny and awesome?"
  106. >"I need to wake up...It's all a dream...I need to wake up..."
  107. >Twi didn't exactly take it well when RD decided to 'borrow' your wallet for an unauthorized trip to Walmart last week
  108. >By the time you caught up with her, she'd already taken twelve DVDs, nine MLP figurines (the mane 6, Spike, Scootaloo, and an extra one of herself), confused a cashier, and was headed back to your house
  109.  
  110.  
  111. >When you caught up with her again, Twilight was in the pone equivalent of the fetal position and encased in a sphere of magic while screaming about how everything is impossible
  112. >The screaming stopped and the spell broke, but she hasn't moved since
  113. >Spike's been force-feeding her to keep her alive
  114. >Minutes after you got home, the police arrived
  115. >And then the FBI came a few hours later
  116. >Even the government had no idea what the fuck they're supposed to do in this situation
  117. >It took a while until they decided, "Fuck it. Seal them under an inflatable dome and do science to them."
  118. >Their words, not yours
  119. >There are CCTV cameras in every room, MRE's in the fridge, Geiger counters and shit taped to the walls, and a few platoons of National Guardsmen trying to keep the media and crowds at a distance
  120. >All this because Dash caught a Jackie Chan marathon on cable one day and couldn't help herself
  121. >Celestia sent you Dash's shredded certificate of Equestrian citizenship and a stern letter (not that it matters to RD, because she's not intent on going back anyway)
  122. >She still insists that it was "totally worth it, 'cause I'd marry Jackie Chan in a heartbeat if he wasn't already taken and also wasn't not a pony."
  123. "I don't think she can answer because YOU BROKE HER."
  124. >"I'm sure she'll get over it eventually. She just needs to see the bright side of it. We're famous!"
  125. "And now everyone else living here is famous too. Yipee."
  126.  
  127.  
  128. Inspired by the realization that these two characters share some alarmingly similar traits
  129. The Magic (Tragic) Schoolbus: Arnold Will Never Have A Normal Field Trip
  130.  
  131. >Day 'normal day at college' on Earth
  132. >Be Arnold M. Perlstein
  133. >You have the exact same class as you had in elementary school, middle school, and high school
  134. >How does that even happen?
  135. >All these people living totally separate lives, but they come together again and again through sheer chance
  136. >The answer is that there is a god
  137. >And that god is trying to drive you insane
  138. >The teacher you've had for the last 15 years is this god's representative on Earth
  139. >She's a witch
  140. >She's got a lizard familiar and a magic schoolbus in place of a magic broomstick
  141. >Ms. Frizzle is a witch
  142. >That's the only explanation for the things you've seen
  143. >A field trip to the outer edge of the solar system or the bottom of the sea is laughably infeasible
  144. >A field trip which shrinks its passengers to the size of plant cells or changes them into salmon eggs is totally impossible
  145. >But it's happened
  146. >You've been there and seen it happen
  147. >And everyone else in the class thinks it's normal
  148. >Phoebe was suspicious for a time
  149. >She said things like "This didn't happen at my old school!"
  150. >Wanda and Keesha expressed worry, but didn't seem to recognize that anything out of the ordinary was happening
  151. >Over the years, they've become accustomed to the reality-bending that occurs in this class
  152. >Now you're the last holdout of sanity
  153.  
  154.  
  155. >Every day, you hope for a normal day of school
  156. >Not normal for this class
  157. >Normal as in "what any other student would consider normal"
  158. >No field trips every day
  159. >No situations that science can't explain, or can't rescue you from if something goes wrong
  160. >No transforming into animals or going back in time
  161. >Just a normal day
  162. >You walk to the classroom with Ralphie and speak to yourself
  163. "Please let this be a normal day at school..."
  164. >Ralphie's still a jock
  165. >He hasn't changed
  166. >None of them change
  167. >They age, but they always wear the same style of clothes and act just as they did after they broke
  168. >Your wardrobe spontaneously replaced itself with an infinite number of striped yellow sweaters and blue jeans one night, and nobody cared
  169. >Not even your parents
  170. >You might be a student in this hellish class forever, and you'd be the only one who notices
  171. >Ralph smiles at you and gives the reply you've come to expect
  172. >"With the Frizz? No way!"
  173. >You groan like you were expecting him to say "I'm sure it will be normal"
  174. >He'll never say that
  175.  
  176.  
  177. >Arriving at the classroom, there is a glimmer of hope
  178. >There's a note on the door saying that Ms. Frizzle will be out sick today, and a substitute is taking her place
  179. >The usual students are gathered around the note, speculating about who the teacher will be and whether they'll take the class on a field trip
  180. >"Frizzle's not here?"
  181. >"Aw man, I was gonna give her this sketch I made of Liz."
  182. >"I wonder when she'll be back?"
  183. >A soft, rhythmic clicking comes from down the hallway
  184. >They all turn to see what the source of the sound is
  185. >You follow suit
  186. >It's a small, pink horse with a curly mane and tail, balloons painted on either side of its hips, and a small reptile dangling by its mouth from the horse's tail
  187. >And then it speaks in a high-pitched, enthusiastic female voice
  188. >"Hello everyhuman! My name is Pinkie Pie and I'll be your substitute for the day."
  189. >The entirety of the class ignores what this... thing just said, addressing it as Ms. Frizzle
  190. >"Oh, hi Miss Frizzle. You're a bit late today."
  191. >"Good morning, Frizz! How've you been?"
  192.  
  193.  
  194. >The pink creature returns their oblivious affection
  195. >"I've been alright. The Giro-pedal-Pinkiecopter has been running a bit rough lately, but it should be okay for today's field trip."
  196. >You look for the note on the door, hoping to prove that this isn't Frizz, but the note has disappeared
  197. >Tim offers a drawing to the equine menace
  198. >"I brought a sketch for you. What do you think of it?"
  199. >"Nice sketch, Tim! It looks just like Gummy. Don't you think so, Gummy?"
  200. >The thing is looking back to its tail where the reptile hangs
  201. >It looks like some sort of baby alligator
  202. >It makes no acknowledgement toward its host's question
  203. >Despite this, 'Pinkie' balances the drawing on a front hoof and gives it to the reptile, which bites down on the paper to hold it against the limb it has clamped down upon
  204. >'Pinkie' returns to the conversation and praises Tim's work further
  205. >"Gummy loves it!"
  206.  
  207.  
  208. >In a hopeless gamble, you sidle up to Carlos
  209. >He seems to be the most far gone, but you can't whisper to anyone else without causing a scene
  210. "Psst. Carlos."
  211. >"What is it?"
  212. "Does anything seem off about Ms. Frizzle today?"
  213. >"I don't see anything. She's got the pet lizard, the frizzly hair, the works."
  214. "What about the hooves? Or the sick note on the door?"
  215. >"I don't know what you're talking about."
  216. >Carlos raises his voice to a normal volume
  217. >"Actually, now that you mention it, her voice sounds a tiny bit different."
  218. "You think so?"
  219. >The pink creature produces the classroom key from thin air, holding it with an invisible force to its front hoof
  220. >As it turns the key in the classroom's lock, you see a different note that appeared on the door while you weren't looking
  221. >This one says that Miss Frizzle is going to be late, not substituted
  222. >The pony-like animal winks to Carlos, who takes this as a cue to speak
  223. [spoiler]>"Yeah. She's a little horse."[/spoiler]
