(This short takes place in between the Events of Fame, Hate, and Fortune and It's a Pirate Parade girls.)
 
> You take another sip of your tea.
> Yup...
> Today was awesome!
> The Doctor and his crew just left the house to go up with their families for Hearthswarming eve.
> Or something.
> Scoots was out training with the Jr. Wonderbolts.
> Derpy was currently on her route.
> AJ had already stopped by.
> She had been watching you when you were training earlier.
> It was kind of...weird.
> But oh well.
> Your muscles faintly ached as you pulled the tea cup back up and took another sip.
> Today had been rather uneventful to be honest.
> No Celestia or Luna.
> No Elements of Harmony.
> No monsters or anything knocking at your door.
> No Zoa.
> And you had a milkshake date with Derpy later.
> You lower the cup and kick up your feet.
> Shouldn't have done that.
> Your leg muscles practically screeched at you.
> Yeah...
> You needed to write Will again.
> It had been a while since you've seen him.
> You had heard from him that he was being sent on missions now.
> Apparently he was doing a damn fine job, almost as good as you.
> Heh...
> Yup.
> Today was a rest and relax-
> A gust of wind tickled your ear.
"...."
> You sigh and drop your head.
"Yes?"
> Zoa's hooves clacked against the ground as she trotted past you.
> She gave you a toothy smile and plopped down onto your recliner.
> "Anon!"
"Hm?"
> "I just took the best trip to your realm!"
"And how is it the best exactly?"
> She shrugged. "Every trip is the best. Your kind has really changed, last I remembered you were a bunch of violent, screaming ape-like creatures."
"We still are."
> She shrugged again. "Less so."
> You hum in agreement.
> "I heard about what happened between you and the orange one, is everything alright?"
"Oh yeah fine."
> "Good...good.... so uh..."
> She tapped her hooves together bashfully.
"You need my help don't you..."
> "Mhm."
"Sheesh. What is it this time?"
> "While I was tracking my families movements I came across some strange... magic patterns right in the middle of Ponyville."
"So?"
> "This isn't regular magic-"
> You hold a hand up right there.
"Go to Twilight about this. She's more suited for a magic problem than I am."
> "But that's the thing-"
"And the two of you could bond over it or something. It doesn't have to be-"
> "Anon this is inter-dimensional magic."
> You pause with your hand still raised in the air.
> Oh...
> Zoa nodded.
> "The exact same magic that bought you here. I have a feeling it's going to be essentially harmless but it seems to have some rather eccentric fluctuations."
"And that means?"
> "That means that another portal is going to open up and probably drop off something else. I have the power to send us INTO the dimension this magic is coming from but not stop it all together. This is beyond even me."
> You sigh and scratch your head.
"I've got a milkshake date in like three hours, will we be back before then?"
> "Most likely. If we go in it time will move differen-"
> You stop her right there with another raise of your hand.
"Let's just get it over with before the date please."
> "I-If you want I could be your mare-"
"Stop!"
> "O-Okay..."
> You get up and look at your new Aviator slung across the coat rack.
> ....Nah.
> You liked this one.
> Instead you head over to the cupboard under the stairs and pull it open.
> You reach in and grab hold of a thick, black hoodie with a white lining.
"Come on then."
> Zoa smiled but stopped in her tracks.
> "Oh uh... I can't go out like this..."
> You raise an eyebrow.
> "I need my magic for this and chances are I'll get in trouble-"
"Say no more."
> You smile maliciously at her.
"They returned it after the last trip."
 
> “This is degrading!” Zoa grunted from the mule costume.
> You smile brightly.
“Exactly!”
> “It's so itchy!”
“Welcome to my world!”
> “Anonymous please this is torture.”
“Eh.”
> The two of you headed into the town as you led the way.
> "Why did you specify Milkshake?"
"Because..."
> You didn't really know why.
> Huh...
"I have no idea."
> "Pfft. I doubt milkshakes are all there is to it..."
"What is that supposed to imply?"
> "Oh please Anonymous. You can't tell me that in the last eight months the two of you haven't worked towards a child yet."
"Aside from it being physically impossible to make a kid... no we have not."
> "I'm just saying-"
> "Nonny!"
> A pink blur tackled your chest and stuck to it like glue.
> Pinkie beamed at you as her eyes lit up.
> "I wanted to show you my sister Maud!"
> She gestured back towards another pony.
> This pony was...
> The complete opposite of Pinkie.
> She trotted slowly and calmly.
> No expression painted her face as she made her way towards you and Zoa.
> "Doesn't she look excited!?"
> Pinkies smiling face suddenly appeared in your own.
> You quirk an eyebrow and peel her off.
"Uhh... what?"
> "This mare makes me feel uneasy." Zoa muttered.
> "Hey Zoa!" Pinkie exclaimed.
> "How did you know!?"
> "It's like super obvious. But you're not Non non so shhh!"
> You furrow your brow.
"She's a friend Pinkie and she's also here to help, show some respect-"
> "Hello."
> The three of you turned to the mare.
> Her disinterested gaze scanned you silently.
> You scratch your head.
"Uhhh....hi..."
> "Pinkie told me all about you."
> Pinkie's warm breath tickled your ear.
> "She loves stories!"
> Uh-huh...
"Well that's cool and all. But I'm kind of on a mission here, so if you could be as kind as to-"
> You pause mid-step as Maud moved forward.
> "I want to go."
"Uh, this may be rather...exciting."
> That should turn her away.
> "I like excitement." She simply said.
> You would have never guessed.
> "I'll come too!" Pinkie shouted.
> "I'm afraid this is to dangerous for either of you." Zoa moved forward; using her magic to take hold of your hand.
> Pinkie and Maud watched silently as you were led away from the two.
> It didn't take long for the two of you to find your destination.
> A chummy alleyway in between some kind of repair place and a food shop.
> You and Zoa look around the dirty snow.
"This is it?"
> "Mhm..."
"Weird place for the magic to-"
> The air around you briefly distorted.
> You hop away from the invisible bulge in the air.
> "Yep. Most of it conglomerates here."
> Zoa threw back the silly costume and pointed her horn down.
> "Now whatever happens next will be rather... confusing. We're going directly to the source of this disruption Anon so be ready."
> You fold your arms over your chest.
> A spark of magic ran up her horn.
> It moved like a sparkler would, the hissing accompanying its slow movement.
> Just among the air the same sparkle began to envelope the area in front of you.
> The spark reached the tip of her horn and practically leapt off.
> It mixed with the sparkles moving outwards and burst into a display of gold energy.
> Cool.
> "Hurry up! Let's go!"
> The two of you stepped forward...
> "NONNY!"
> What?
> The world went pink as something stuck to your face.
> You let out a muffled screech and step backwards.
> Right into the portal.
> "I'm coming." Someone said in a monotone voice.
> The last thing you head before the portals warm energy enveloped you was Zoa.
> "Idiots!" She shouted.
> Thud!
> You let out a muffled grunt as your back slammed into a rough stony texture.
> You reach up and pull Pinkie from your face.
"Dude!"
> The portal suddenly closed in on itself.
> Oh for real-
> "Who dares!?"
> You turn around and frown.
> The area you were in looked like the Canterlot Castle throne room, save a lot more...black.
> Blue torches lined up to the throne where...
> Twilight sat?
> She looked different though.
> Like she was wearing black mascara or something.
> She was glaring daggers at Maud who stood before her on a tattered red rug.
> "Hello."
> You raise an eyebrow and pick yourself up, dropping Pinkie to your side.
> Pinkie gasped and zipped over to where Maud stood.
> "Omigosh Twilight you look so different."
> Twilight's face twisted into a sneer.
> "You... I sent you and the others to tartarus with Celestia."
> You groan and pinch the bridge of your nose.
> You once read a fic like this back home.
"Let me guess. You used Sombra's magic, got corrupted, turned on everybody, and now rule Equestria right?"
> Twilight turned to you.
> Suddenly her sneer dropped.
> "Anon! You finally made it across!"
> What?
"What?"
> "You've certainly gotten much more...tastier if I say so myself."
"I'm not who you think I am."
> She looked you over once more.
> "You're right. I think I've been experimenting with inter-dimensional magic too much, summoned you up instead."
"Good. Now send us back-"
> "No."
> You glare at the mare.
> "Why not?" Maud questioned.
> Twilight glared down at her.
> "Aren't you supposed to be mining more rocks farmer girl? Seemed suiting after you attacked me for your sister."
> Maud continued to stare at her with the same blank expression.
> Pinkie suddenly butted in.
> "Twi' what are you talking about?"
> You step forward.
"Pinkie this isn't our Twilight. We stepped through an inter-dimensional portal, this Twilight is evil."
> You didn't go into much more detail after that.
> "B-But how could Twi ever go baddie?"
> "Hah!" Twilight cynically laughed. "Still talking like a little filly; even from another universe. How about expanding your vocabulary beyond the third grade Pinkie!"
> "Don't talk to her like that." Maud said blankly.
> "Or what? I beat you once I'll do it again."
> "Hey!" Pinkie shouted.
> "SiLeNcE!" Twilight declared spanning out her wings.
> The torches aggressively flared upwards in response.
> "C-Come on Twi, this isn't you."
"I agree. This is some writers edgesona speaking."
> "Enough of this." Twilight leaned back and folded her hind-legs over the other.
> "I tire of this trivial jive."
> Pinkie suddenly leapt upwards with an excited shout.
> "If you're evil then we need a hero!"
> "All the heroes are gone!" She smiled darkly. "And so will you in a coupl-"
> You didn't catch the rest of that as a tornado of pink suddenly wrapped around you.
> You let out a surprised shout as you suddenly found yourself in a...
> Skin-tight silver suit...
> You look it over front to back; your previous clothes nowhere to be found.
> Smack in the middle of your chest was a red and yellow Ü in the middle of a triangle.
> "Beat her up Anon! This Twilight's a meanie mcmeanie no-pants!"
> Maud stepped down and moved behind you.
> You could feel her gaze on you.
> You blushed.
> It felt as if you weren't wearing anything.
> Please don't have a hero bulge...
> Please don't have a hero bulge...
> You glance down and sure enough you have a hero bulge.
> Fuck!
> You suddenly turn to Pinkie.
"You saw me naked!"
> "Mhm..." A serene look fell over her usually excited face. "It was niiiiiice..."
> Your blush intensified.
> "Look out." Maud muttered.
> You whirl around just in time to see a purple and green beam headed directly for the three of you.
> You shoot your hands outwards and catch the beam just before it could connect.
> The stony floor beneath your feet provided no resistance as you slid across the room.
> You let out a grunt and push against the beam.
> "Go Anon go! Wooo!" Pinkie exclaimed as she spun around a giant spinner.
> Maud watched you silently.
> With a grunt you found some ground.
> Push forward...
> You begin to push against the beam with a shout.
> Come on!
> “Just go down already!” Twilight shouted over the beams constant buzzing.
> Finally…
> You spin away from the beam.
> Twilight couldn't cut it in time.
> It mowed straight past you and slammed into the doors behind you.
> They offered no force as they burst into splintered bits.
> You dig your heel into the ground; followed by the flat of your right foot.
> The world became a blur as you sprint forwards.
> The purple mare bobbed in place as your footfalls crushed the very ground underneath you.
> She gave a surprised shout and pointed her horn forward.
> Crack!
> You were in the air now; glaring down at Twilight from up above.
> A thick beam of magic was disintegrating the spot you once were.
> You clasp your fists together and bring them downwards.
> The sound of a piano slamming into the ground briefly filled the air.
> Twilights head was flattened downwards like some kind of plastic toy.
> Her horn pointed and ears pointed inwards at your fist as she held a strange, comically idiotic expressing plastered on her face.
> "Durhur-" She simply muttered before collapsing off of the throne.
> You watched silently as her form rolled down the steps leading up to the throne and finally slammed into the ground below.
> "Woooohoooo!" Pinkie shouted; using the spinner to it's maximum potential.
> Did you just slam an evil Twi so hard she was an idiot now?
> "Bush did 911!" She shouted from the bottom of the steps.
> Ah...
> You move down the steps and step over her form.
"Pinkie change me back..."
> Pinkie smiled brightly.
> Oh wait..
> The naked part.
"Nevermind actually..."
> She frowned.
> "She's getting up again." Maud said slowly pointing a hoof behind you.
> You turn back around to see Twilight picking herself up and shaking her head back into shape.
> "Y-You think it's over that easily?"
> You raise an eyebrow.
> "I'm an alicorn! A powerful one at that, I've overthrown the sisters and threw this world into utter turmoil! All heroes fall before me, you are nothing, NOTHING! Before my mighty intell-"
> Your foot suddenly connected with her face.
> She went spiraling upwards in a purple blur.
> You and the girls watch silently as her body coincidentally slammed back into the throne unconscious.
> You look down.
> What was this?
> You reach down and pick up what looked to be a black and red horn connected to a black necklace.
> You simply crush it.
> The throne rooms blackened appearance fell apart before you.
> Everything crumbled leaving way for the regular throne room appearance.
> You wipe the dust from your hand and turn to the girls.
"Is that it?"
 
> FLASH!
> You found yourself in another throne room.
> "Oh shit titballs!" someone shouted from behind you.
> You whirl around.
> Another you sat at the throne; surrounded by mares and some stallions in leather gear, ball gags, and various other unspeakable horrors.
> "Pinkie!? Maud? I already have the two of you in my Harem."
> You were going to vomit.
> You simply trudge forward and move past the horde of sexualized horses.
> Most of them looked here against their will.
> You stop in front of the other you; who was much skinnier and frail than you.
> He smiled at you brightly.
> "Sup handsome... I look rather strapping from this angle."
"What is this?"
> You gesture to the ponies all around him.
> He looked past you briefly and came back with a smile.
> "My sex harem."
> Your eye twitched.
"Your sec harem..."
> "Yup."
"Your life consists of nothing but constant sex?"
> "Mhm."
"Doesn't that get boring after awhile?"
> "Yeah." Pinkie muttered.
"Se-"
> You stop and slowly fixate a gaze on her.
> "Kidding!"
> You turn back to the other you.
"Yeah, no."
> Your fist simply shot forward.
> He was out like a light.
"This is kind of gross."
> You step away from the throne and turn to the girls.
"Okay. When are we-"
 
> FLASH!
> You were suddenly in a blank white space.
> For the love of-
> "Where are we?" Maud questioned picking herself up first.
"No idea…"
> Suddenly something appeared in front of you with a flash.
BUMP
> You quirk an eyebrow and lean forward.
> “What is that Nonny?” Pinkie questioned.
“I've seen this before at home. I don't know
BUMP
BUMP
BUMP
> They began to appear all around you and the girls.
> You back away from the growing army.
BUMP
BUMP FOR FATE
BUMP THE NIGHT AWAY
CREATIVE BUMP
ILLUSTRATIVE BUMP
> The bumps began to overtake the entire white space.
> Pinkie grunted and tried to push a wave of them back.
> "I don't like this!" She shouted.
> Maud simply pushed a ball of bumps away with a single hoof.
> "I like it. It reminds me of poetry."
> She reached into her dress and pulled out a folded note of paper.
> "Rocks are grey."
> "But sometimes brown."
> "I like to look at rocks."
> "They make me feel."
> "Rocks are grey like the color grey."
> She folded the paper up and put it back into her dress pocket.
> Err...
> Wherever it had come from...
> The bumps stopped all at once.
> Another flash.
NICE ONE
YOU KILLED THE THREAD FAG
NO MORE BUMPING
WAY TOO RUIN EVERYTHING
> All of the bumps disappeared at once.
> You and the girls look around the white space.
> "Wow! Your amazing poetry did it again Maud!"
> Yeah...
> Amazing...
> BANG!
THREAD 404'D
> FLASH!
 
> The wind whipped against your face as you found yourself on a…
> Hot air ballon.
> Huh…
> You turn around.
> Pinkie was already leaning over the edge of the ship and staring down at the ground below.
> Maud just watched her sister enjoy herself silently.
> “Weeee!”
> You step up closer to the girls.
> You watch her silently and fold your arms over your chest.
> She may be having fun…
> But as far as you knew you were stuck like this…
> With a sigh run a hand through your scalp.
> Maud looked you over with that same bored look.
> “Anon...”
> You turn to her.
> Pinkie was oblivious to the two of you talking; too focused on having her own fun.
> “Pinkie speaks very highly of you...”
“So?”
> She moved in a little closer.
> “She doesn't speak very highly of others.”
> She flicked her eyes to the mare squealing with delight.
> “She was bullied a lot when she was younger.”
> You trail Mauds gaze silently.
> “She loves everypony. But it's very rare that she'll admire someone.”
> Maud turned to you and studied you silently.
> Before you could say anything else.
> FLASH!
 
> Uhg...
> This one was a doozy.
> You peel away from the polished with floor with a groan.
> Huh...
> What?
> You sniff the air.
> Smelled like a hospital...
> You get to your full height and look around.
> Yup...
> Hospital...
> Beep... beep...beep.
> You turn around and spot Maud standing next to a ponies bed side.
> Pinkie somehow had gotten knocked unconscious during this jump, her resting body propped against the hospital wall.
> Maud was turned away from you.
> She seemed to be talking to someone.
> You stand to full height and lumber over.
> Oh...
> A withered pink pony lay on the bed silently.
> She stared at Maud with a serene smile on her face, not even acknowledging your existence.
> "Maud... It's been a fun ride..." she croaked.
> You look over the whole situation.
> The withered mare was hooked up to a couple of machines.
> She could hardly even speak let alone move.
> It looked like she was on her final leg.
> Maud seemed unable to move as she stared down at the old mare.
> You silently watch the events unfold.
> "I haven't seen your face in years Maud..."
> The withered mare let out a cough followed by a couple of loud hacks.
> "Last I remembered was when you and I were at my birthday party..."
> She frowned.
> "I never saw you again after that..."
> "I doubt it."
> Even with the situation at hand she sounded as unexpressive as ever.
> The withered mare let out a laugh.
> It soon fell to a series of messed hacking.
> "Ohhh I missed you. How did you do it? You still look so young."
> The withered mare leaned back and smiled at the ceiling.
> "Rarity would kill for your secret..."
> She suddenly frowned.
> "They're all gone now... I'm the last one left... I'll tell ya' what though, the CMC fillies grew up to be fine girls!"
> Another laugh followed by hacking.
> You move over to their left and raise an eyebrow.
> Even though Maud held no expression the tears were practically flowing down her face.
> You sit next to Pinkie and wait.
> It went on like this for awhile.
> The faux old Pinkie telling her story to Maud as you waited silently.
> You just wanted the next jump.
> But it seemed to be taking awhile.
> Too long in fact.
> You watched as Maud hugged her withered body and stepped back.
> The machines beeps suddenly slowed down.
> Until one long beep filled the air.
> At the same time a white light slowly took your vision.
> What now?
 
> Thud!
> "Finally!" Zoa shouted.
> Huh?
> You shoot up and look around.
> The alleyway.
> "You got stuck in a loop, took me forever to find you and these two and pull you back!"
> Maud was picking herself up now.
> She glanced at Pinkie's still unconscious form and smiled gingery.
> Then she turned to you.
> Before you could react she reached up and grabbed hold of your suit.
> With ungodly strength she bought you down to her level.
> Her bored gaze filled your sight.
> "Anonymous. I may not see you again but do this for me. Pinkie is an amazing mare, as I said earlier she was bullied back in our hometown."
> This is the most she's said all day.
> "Do not crush her expectations. You're not a normal one, you're more in her eyes."
> Okay well...
> You really had to.
> Maud pulled you even closer.
> "I may be irrelevant but she is not. She considers you a friend."
"Why are you telling me all of this?"
> "Because you doubt her intentions."
> She let you go and trotted over to Pinkie.
> She dug her muzzle under Pinkie's body and flipped her onto her back like some sort of pancake.
> "Goodbye Anonymous." She said as she trotted from the alleyway.
> Weird...
> "Weird..." Zoa muttered.
> "What even happened?"
"A lot of crazy shit..."
> You sigh and pinch the bridge of your nose.
"How long was I gone for?"
> "Uhhh..."
> You stop and glance up at her.
"Zoa."
> "Two hours-"
> You give a relieved sigh.
> "And fifty minutes. Where did you get that suit by the way?"
"What!?"
> Ten minutes to get back to Derpy.
> You needed to-
> The air around you bulged outwards briefly.
> You freeze and back away.
"I thought you closed the portal!"
> "I didn't! I thought you took care of it on the other side!"
> Uh..
> Hmm...
> Wasn't that what you were supposed to do earlier?
> BANG!
> The air tossed and turned.
> What happened?
> You couldn't feel the ground beneath your feet anymore.
> When did this happen?
> What was going on?
> You let out a grunt as you slam into the ground; shortly followed by Zoa.
> You pull away from the snow and glance back at the alleyway.
> A clawed hand the size of a car stuck into the ground in front of the alley; sending up a plume of snow.
> You pick yourself up and turn to Zoa.
> You turn back to the creature crawling from the void.
> Uhg...
> Defeat and inter-dimensional creature within ten minutes?
> Fun...
 
> Derpy looked around.
> Couples all around her enjoyed their day happily.
> She sighed and reached into her satchel.
> "Sometime soon...."
> CRASH!
> "Damn you mortal! A deep voice boomed.
> Derpy turned just in time to catch you being flung over the side of a building.
> An ogre-like creature stuttered forward and fell to his knees along with you.
> He let out a roar before collapsing to the ground.
> You pick yourself up out of the snow and brush it off.
> Huh...
> Look at that.
> Just where you needed to be.
> You turn and meet eyes with Derpy.
"Hey!"
> You pull the shredded suit up to cover certain bits.
> You were just glad to finally see her again.
> She gave you a shocked look.
> "W-What is that thing!?"
> You turn back to the collapsed creature.
"I have no idea honestly."
> You ignore it and plop down across from her.
> "A-Anon, you're bleeding."
> You glance back at the deep gash in your shoulder.
"Ignore it. I made it anyway."
> "But Anon-"
> You stretch your hand outwards and hold it over her mouth.
"Look. While I was gone-"
> "Gone?"
"While I was gone I saw a couple things I didn't think possible. One of them was someone really close going really quickly."
> The creature groaned in pain.
> A white beam nailed the back of his head.
"Thanks Zoa!"
> "No problem!"
> You turn back to Derpy and reach across the table.
> You take hold of the milkshake and take a long sip of it.
> Vanilla.
> Your favorite.
"To be honest when I saw what it does to the others I decided right there to just enjoy every moment together."
> You smile and place the milkshake down.
> Little did she know you gulped the whole thing down while she was busy.
> A rosy blush fell over her cheeks.
> "I-I don't know what to say..."
> You pat her head and nod softly.
"Don't worry about it. Let's just go ahead and enjoy eachothers company."
> Derpy smiled back at you.
> "That suit really fits you stud muffin."
> You glance down.
"I think it's rather tacky..."
> "I don't think so one bit..."
> Her blush intensified as she scanned over your body.
> O-oh...
> Your face gained a blush of its own despite the cold.
"I-I'm gonna change real quick..."
