>You are George Costanza. >Unemployed, and living with your parents. >Plans never go your way. >Especially today. >Driving down the street to get to Jerry’s, a squirrel gets in front of your car. >As your swerve out of the way, just to crash into a parked car. >Which happens to have it’s owner in it. >He gets out of the car to view the wreckage. >”What the hell?  Do you know how much this cost me?” “I, uh, don’t know.” >”A hell of a lot more than you make.” >He’s got you there. “And how much may that be?” >”53,200 dollars.” >The repairs won’t cost that much. >As he’s muttering “My car…” your phone rings. >You pick it up. “Hello?” >”Hello Georgie!” “Hey Ma.” >”We’ve run into a problem here.” “What may that be?” >”We need you to move out.” >Oh god, no. “Why’s that.” >”You need to get a job, and a life Georgie.” “What?! Are you insane?” >Click. >They expect you to do all that? >It’s like they don’t know at all. >It then dawns on you. >You have to pay this guy, without help. >Your hands ball up. >You grit your teeth. >And at the top of your lungs you yell with fury. “GEORGE IS GETTING UPSET!” >Doing so causes a black hole to appear. >You yell in terror as you’re swept into the black abyss. 1/?   >God forbid you pass out when you’re in the black hole. >No, you sat there flying through time and space. >And when you flew out of it. >Flying out, you hit a building that looks surprisingly like a cupcake. >It doesn’t feel like one though. >You bounce back onto the ground. >The impact makes you see stars. >As well as pink horses. >”Hey mister!  Are you feeling okay?” “No… I’m not okay!  Get help!” >”Why’s that?” >You’re too tired to answer. >Your body finally submits to sleep.   >Beginning to awake, you hear talking of the pink one. >”And then a light came out of the sky and he went WHOOSH!” >You rub your head. >What happened? >Oh, right. >It’s okay now, home. >”And he hit Sugarcube Corner like BAM!” >Opening your eyes, you see bright colors. >That isn’t your roof. >Nor is this your bed. >You get out of bed with a large >”Oh, he must be up now.  Later!” >She literally pops up into your face. >”Hey!  My name’s Pinkie Pie, what’s yours?” 2/?   >Stepping back a bit, you realize this is real. >Might as well make some friends. “George Costanza.” >You put your hand out for her to shake. >She grabs it, and shakes it furiously. >As you let go, your arm is already sore. “Next time, could you go easy on the shaking?” >”Nope!” >She grins at you. >You can already tell she won’t change her mind. “So, where am I, exactly?” >”Sugarcube Corner!” “Would that be the building I crashed into?” >”Yep!” >She continues to smile. >Wouldn’t that hurt after a while? “So, uh, what do you have to eat?” >”Well, we have plenty of baked goods, such as…” >She rattles on about what she bakes every day, and more. “I think I’ll just have a muffin.” >”Coming right up.” >In a blur, she’s downstairs, and back to you, holding a muffin in hoof. >”Here you go!” “Yeah, thanks.” >You don’t expect much, for it’s just a muffin. >As you take a bite, it exceeds your expectations by a good deal. “This is a very good muffin.” >”Thank you!  I made that myself.” >You finish the muffin is satisfaction. “So, can I look around a bit now?” >”Sure, follow me!” >She hops downstairs, and you follow. >Let’s see what this place has to offer. >Stepping outside, you’re greeted by the sight of a little town. >Fairly basic, in your opinion. >More horses are in the street, talking and such. >You just came to a world where your chances with a woman are worse than before. >Fantastic. >”Come on Georgie, we need to see Twilight really quick.” >The names are going to get weirder, aren’t they? >Only one way to find out. “I’m coming, just hold on.” >You do a light jog after Pinkie. >Rather not relive the Summer of George on your first day, you know? >”Here we are!” >Looking ahead, you see a large crystal tree. >Flashy. 3/?   >Pinkie knocks on the door, and a purple pony, who you guess is Twilight, opens it. >”Hey, Pinkie.  What do you need?” >She then looks up at you. >”Oh, another human?” >You aren’t the only one? >”Have you introduced him to Anon yet?” >Pinkie thinks for a moment. >”I don’t think so, but he will at the party!” >Party? >Before you can ask what she means, Pinkie is already gone. >Twilight sighs. >”The party will probably be done soon.  Why don’t you walk back with me?” >Since you don’t know the town to well, you agree. >As you’re walking, she begins to ask some questions. >”How did you get here?” “Some kind of black hole thing.  I’m not sure what it was.” >”Really?  Michael said the same thing.” >Remember to ask about that later. >”What did you do before you came here?” >Probably shouldn’t lie right now. “Unemployed.” >”Oh, okay.” >Twilight looks a bit disappointed. >You look back ahead to see Sugarcube Corner. “Here we are.” >You go up the steps and open the door. >”SURPRISE!” >You back up and fall down the steps, and hit your back hard. >Pinkie comes out and looks over you. >”Are you okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine.” >You get up and go inside to celebrate… >Coming to “Ponyville”. >There will be more pony puns, you just know it. >But for now, time to enjoy yourself. >Maybe.   >The party was starting to wind down. >It was fun, and you got to know a lot of ponies in the process. >As well as Anon, who was quite the character. >Not like Pinkie or Kramer, though. >All in all, it was great, but there was one problem. >There was one mare at the party who was just staring at you. >Though you tried to act like you didn’t notice, she caught on quick. >That was the only pony you didn’t meet at the party. >How odd. 4/?   >It’s a couple days after your arrival. >In those days, the staring pony has been around. >But goes back to what she’s doing when you get near or are looking in her direction. >Mostly when you’re hanging out with friends at sugarcube corner. >Other times when you’re just in the park, sitting on a bench. >There isn’t too much to do here. >Back to the present, you’re sitting in a booth with your friends, who consisted of Anon, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie. >Anon was finishing explaining on who Michael was. >”And he just left a few days afterwords.” “So you’re telling me that Michael Jordan, the Basketball star, came here?” >”Yes, it’s true.” >This world is getting weirder and weirder. >You think now is the best time to assess the mare situation. “So, I’ve got a story for you guys.” >They’re all ears. “So anyway, there’s this mare from the party…” >So you explain the situation, and say you might have a stalker. >You don’t know if said mare heard over the conversation. >Anon thinks for a moment. >”I think you might need to talk to her about it.” “Anon, you of all people should know I don’t approach strange women.” >”Either way, you should try to correct the situation before it bites you in the ass.” “Yeah, and how would you know?” >”Experience.” >Just drop it, George. >You can tell it’s making him uncomfortable. “Anyway, what if it doesn’t work?” >He shrugs his shoulders. >”Deal with it and hope for the best.” >Hoping for the best isn’t really your strong suit. >You have no other options, though. “Alright, I’ll go ask her about it.” >Pinkie pops out of her seat. >”I know you can do it, Georgie!” “Thanks Pinkie.” >Rarity just nods. “Well, here I go.” 5/?   >You get out of your seat, and walk over to the pony. >Getting a better look, you see that she’s a blue unicorn. “Excuse me, uh, miss.” >She looks up to you. “I’ve been noticing that you stare at me when I’m nearby, any reason for that?” >”What do you mean?” “What I mean is that I think you might be stalking me.” >”What?  Why would I want to stalk a stocky, balding human?” >She then gets up and glares at you at the way out. >Slowly you get back you to your seat. >As you return, Pinkie is laughing, Anon is smiling, and Rarity tries to hide hers with a hoof. “I could have sworn it was her!” >Anon puts a hand on your shoulder after you sit down. >”It’s fine, it could have been much worse.” “This means that she’s still out there, Anon, and I still have to deal with her!” >”Okay, and still, it will be fine.  We’ve got your back, right gals?” >Rarity removes the hoof from her lips. >”Of course, darling.” >Pinkie holds some more freshly baked muffins. >”Yeah, Georgie!  That’s what friends are for.” >You grab a muffin. “Thanks guys, I really appreciate that.”   >You are Chrysalis. >After studying this “George Costanza”, you’ve come to a conclusion. >He has low self-esteem, and seems to be observant to his surroundings. >Much so, he could have foiled your plans. >Today, you switched your disguise to an orange earth pony. >Which worked in your favor. >You’ll need to be more careful with this human. >Yes, very careful, indeed. 6/?   >Anon and Rarity take off, having things to do. >So you and Pinkie are still at Sugarcube Corner. >”So, whacha thinking about? “Home.” >”You’ll be fine, Mikey found a way home.” “I know, but I don’t remember doing anything special before I-” >Wait, you remember. >You yelled before the hole appeared.. >That may be the answer. “George is getting upset!” >Nothing happens. >“Aw, don’t be upset, we can help!” “No, I was trying to see if I knew a way home.” >”Oh, okay then.” >Pinkie trots off back into her room. >Since you have nothing better to do, you go to the guest bedroom. >You guess a nap might calm your nerves. >As you’re about to fall asleep, the door creaks open. >Looking over, you see Pinkie, but something is wrong with her eyes. >They’re green. “Oh, hey Pinkie.  What’s going on?” >She starts to walk over to you. “Uh, are you feeling alright?” >”Yes, I’m fantastic.” >Her voice doesn’t have it’s usual bubbliness. >It’s more calm and serious. >”I hope you don’t mind if I do THIS.” >She explodes into green fire. >Oh god!  You’ve got to get out of here! >In a mad dash, you get to the door. >You try to open it, but it’s locked. >Turning around, you put your back against the door. >The fire’s gone, but so is Pinkie. >No, she’s replaced by a bug like creature, with holes in her legs. >A bit like swiss cheese. >Magically being pulled to the bed, you yell for help. >She then pulls out some rope. “No, not again!” >You refuse to be stuck to a bed once more. >Struggling to break free, Swiss giggles. >”I’m too strong for that, George.” >Alarms sound all in your head. >A creature with the ability to change form, is your stalker. >How were you supposed to know? 7/?   >You hear Pinkie banging on the door. >”Georgie, are you okay?” >You try to say something, but nothing comes out. >Fear doesn’t help speech. >”George?” >Pinkie better do something quick. >Who knows what diseases a shapeshifter might have. >Pinkie breaks through the door with blurring speed. >She stops dead in her tracks when she sees Swiss. >A quick gasp, and she’s off again. >Swiss looks at the door, and back to you. >”It seems I used up all my time, see you around.” >She transforms into the blue unicorn from earlier and heads out. >Thankfully, only one hand is tied to the headboard, so you untie it. >To the best of your extent. >Before you can finish, Pinkie comes back, with a panting Twilight in tow. >”Georgie!  You’re okay!” >Pinkie comes up to hug you. “Can we save the hugs after I’m out of these ropes?” >The ropes are then in a purple glow, and are undone. “Thanks, Twilight.” >Pinkie proceeds to give you a bear hug. >Twilight looks at you with extreme concern. >”What happened?” “Well, Pinkie came in, combusted, and turned into a bug.” >”This is worse than I thought.” “Damn right it’s worse.” >Who can you trust at this point? >”We’ve got to get you somewhere safe.” “And where may that be?”   >You are in Canterlot. >It was another pun. >Anyway, you were put under the watch of the royal guard. >You didn’t think the situation was this important. >Swiss must be one bad case. >Your suspicions were confirmed when you were told about her history. >So you have a Changeling Queen stalking you. >Fantastic. >Well, the room you got was nice, and the food as well. >For herbivores, at least. 8/?   >It’s been a few hours since you came to Canterlot. >You aren’t allowed to leave the room. >They told you it’s for the best. >No reason to question authority. >Now you’re just laying in bed. >You didn’t get your nap that you wanted. >So you’re going to bed early. >You drift off to sleep.   >You are dreaming of the Coffee Shop. >Jerry’s there. >”You expect me to believe that?” “No, I don’t.” >”There’s no way your parents kicked you out.” “That’s what I said.” >”So where will you be staying now?” “I don’t know, maybe your place?” >”George, you can’t stay at my place.” “Why not?  I’m there a lot anyway.” >”There’s no room!” “I’ll just sleep on the couch.”   >You wake up to the loud sound of the door unlocking. >Must be a routine check. >Who else would have the key? >The door opens, and you see the familiar face of a guard. “Hey there, anything interesting going on?” >He shakes his head and closes the door. >You lay your head back down. >And then sit up in an istance. >The door isn’t locked. >What’s going on? >It locks from the outside. >So you can’t do it yourself. >The paranoia sets in. >Did Swissalis send some drones? >This is not good. >Quietly, you walk to the door. >You peek your head out. 9/?   >Looking out, you see changelings. >Nope, you’re just going to go back inside. >You close the door as quietly as you can. >Okay, calm down. >The guards can solve this, right? >Considering they couldn’t protect the room, you think not. >What can you do? >Hiding is your best option. >You take a look around the room. >Your only choices are under the bed, or the bathroom. >Sneaking towards the bathroom, you hear bug noises from outside. >They’re getting ready to come in, you guess. >You get into the bathroom, and behind the door. >The door outside creaks open. >”And to think it would be difficult.” >She’s here. >You’re even more scared than before. >There’s no one to save you this time. >”What?  He isn’t in his bed.  Check the room.” >A minute passes and one comes to the bathroom. >It’s over, you’ve been had. >It makes more noises, and Swissalis comes in. >”Hello again, love.” “Look, miss, I want nothing to do with you.” >”Deep down, you know you don’t mean it.” “I just want to go home, that’s it.” >”I can be a close second.” >Why is it so hard talking to these kinds people? >And suddenly, a flash of light. >The drones are on the ground. >”Hold on, I’ll just be a moment.” >You watch as she leaves the bathroom. >And when she’s shot by 2 spells simultaneously >Peering out, you see both Twilight and Celestia. >Celestia looks over to you. >”I thank you for leading Chrysalis here.” “So what you’re telling me is that I was bait?” >”Well, you can say that.” >Almost raped. >To catch a Bug woman. >Your fists ball up. >You grit your teeth. “George is getting upset!” >A black hole appears and you’re sucked in. “Finally!”   >Landing on Jerry’s couch, you sigh. >Even peaceful worlds can’t work out in your favor. >Jerry walks in. >”Where have you been?  How’d you get in here?” “Black hole to Equestria.” >”Whatever, wanna go to the coffee shop?” “Sure.” 10/10
