The mysterious case of...

It had been a normal day.

 

And then a storm came.

 

You were walking down the street, a bag of groceries in your hand. You'd been asked to go buy some bread, eggs, and ham for yourself and your mother the hour before hand.  You didn't mind because you needed the exercise anyhow.

 

You'd been making excellent time, having managed to jog the way up there (a feat of wonder into itself given your health status.)

 

The whole day had been cloudy, the chance of thunder storm in the high eighty percent,

 

Crack-a Boom!

 

Okay, One Hundred percent.

 

"Damn it." You cursed "Okay...Let's keep moving" exhaling as you start to speed up the pace of your walking.

 

Walking just as fast as you could without running, the rain starting in a slow drizzle slowly building into a steady down pour as you find your clothes completely drenched with rain soon. In retrospect, you question your lack of foresight when you left the home earlier, definitely should have brought an umbrella.

 

You continue walking, looking down to keep rain from coating your glasses, when you suddenly notice something peculiar.

 

The road went from pavement to brick.

 

You're not even in the historic district of town.

 

You’re also hearing an odd clop noise along with the feeling that you have a lot more hair.

 

"I don't think he notices?"

 

"He?"

 

Pause for thought.

 

You move to look up.

 

Standing before you appears to be a... is that a small green unicorn? Next to it is something you could only describe as having been rigged together in a government lab or something; goat’s leg, a lion's paw for one arm, eagle's talon for the other. and too many other parts to really identify for now." See, I told you I could bring someone from another dimension to this one"

 

"But they look like a pony, not a human!"

 

"Details, details, it's just the way the dimension is made my dear.” The guy pats the pony on the head. “Beside’s you said only to bring a human to meet you, you never said they needed to look like one now did you?”

 

“But he’s a mare!” The green pony extends a hoof in a ‘But just look at it!’ sort of expression.

 

“Now, Lyra, we both know you’re not looking for stallions these days.”

The  unicorn throws her hoof onto her face “Discord! You’re such…urgh, hay for brains!”

 

And you're just staring, looking at them both "What are you on about?" You're almost certain your hallucinating by this point

 

The dragon thing looks at you. “Come now don’t pretend you didn’t recognize us.”

 

You keep staring blankly.

 

His lips suddenly drop to a frown “oh don’t tell me, of all the people I could have brought…I grabbed someone who….well drat!”  he then shrugs “well, if you want to know, I “he punctuates by holding his hand on his chest area “am Discord, spirit of chaos and disorder.”  

 

He then suddenly pulls up a mirror; looking back at you is a cream coloured pony with a pink-ish mane styled in a funky type of flopped over Mohawk look.  “w-what?” suddenly you notice just how differently pitched your voice is now.

“Of course, I can never exactly account for just what the lock on the dress code has in mind for anyone that crosses over” he hums suddenly flipping over you in a spiral fashion, landing on the one lion paw “I’m certain you’re wondering how you’re here as well, and of course possibly curious about what happened to your old boring self on the other side.”

 

Your jaw couldn’t fall any lower without unhinging itself and falling right off your face.

 

“Your body is still back home, I just made a copy of your consciousness to keep it occupied” he hums as he tossed the mirror into a suddenly manifested copy machine. Moments later a glass of chocolate milk comes out through the dispenser as he throws it glass and all into his mouth, squishy munching noises being made as he somehow eats it.

 

You watch in complete horror. “what…what the fuck?!”

 

“Oh! That must be that human swearing I read so much about” the minty green pony hops up and down beside you with excitement “hi I’m Lyra by the way” you look at her a bit in confusion.

 

“Now Lyra,” Discord suddenly had shrunken down wrapping himself about her shoulders like a necklace”  until our new friend gets everything straightened out, She” he put emphasis on that word….it almost stung a little to hear it confirmed “Will be your new roommate, I doubt Bon-bon will mind”  he hummed a bit “Now, I’ll be checking up on you two every  now and again” he then laughs a little bit…a laugh that sends shivers down from the top of your spin to the base of your…tail, can’t even dictate the sound you made internally at that thought. Discord carries on “I’ve made some, changes, changes that will guarantee that you’ll have no shortage of things to do…now take care you two!”

 

And with that, he was gone.  

 

---

You had the weirdest mix of freaked out, nervous, and insanely interested  in everything around you feelings going on as you walked with Lyra. This whole world was one mix of complimentary colors and wild scents of country town that just sort of kept you enthralled with everything.  It was big but felt small and comfortable, your eyes kept wandering as you looked every which way and that.

 

“Like Ponyville so far??”

 

“it’s…” alive, vibrant, damn near perfect looking? “Different” is all you care to admit. You dare say it makes you wish you’d watch the show before being thrown into it.

 

You come to a medium sized cottage, a two floored one at that  “Celestia no!” Lyra gasps loudly she runs in through the door, nearly dragging you with her into the house.

 

“Why is there a second floor in our apartment Lyra?!” you find yourself dizzily swaying beside the green unicorn as your visions soon focuses on a pony with a cream(?) colored coat and a blue and pink mixed set of curly mane looking absolutely flabbergasted at the both of you “and who in Luna’s name is that?!”

 

“My name is Be-“

 

 Lyra suddenly grabs you around the neck and shoulders with a hoof “Bell Chimes” She pulls you closely against her a loud ‘hurk!’ being yanked out of your mouth.  “ Uhm, This is Bell Chimes, she’s going to be living with us”

 

Youo suddenly get a weird chilly  tingling sensation aling your spine, traveling up your tail bone to the bas of your neck, You turn around looking to the cause of  the sensation, noting…well, you have bells on your  ass…not literally bells but the images of bells. [unfinished paragraph]

 

“and you didn’t tell me about this first?” Bon-Bon asks, her lips pulled into a rather tight frown
