Chapter 2: The beginning of an Adventure
>Okay, first of all, she MEANT for that to be seductive
>Also, you’re in Las-fucking-Pegasus
>You’ve never been in Las Vegas before on Earth…
>Now’s your chance
>You can finally…
 
>You shake your head and get on point
>There’s no time for your little fantasies
>Gambling, seeing magic shows…
>Jeez, what are you, eleven?
>You decide to ask the map pony another question
“Have you seen a yellow Pegasus-“
>She points a hotel not too far away from here
>…Well then
>You nod to the small pony with a smile, and head off to the nearby hotel
>You look up at the sign and sees it says “Best Pix Inn!”
>…That’s not even pony related
>Did it have that name from the start, or was it rebranded as that?
>And another thin-
>Nope, no time to think about the logic of Hotels in a parody of Las Vegas
>You bet Las Vegas doesn’t even HAVE a hotel called “Best Pix Inn!”
>You enter and walk up to the mare at the counter
“Excuse me, miss?”
>”Yallow?”
>Earbleeder.gif
>Her voice is one of a smoker that smokes 10 packs a day
>But, tobacco doesn’t exist in Equestria
>…Does it?
>”Hallo? What do ya want?”
>She’s filing her hooves while looking at the paper
>It’s set down on the desk, upon a stand
“Errrm, I’m in a room with a yellow Pegasus. She has long, pink hair and blue eyes.”
>She stops filing her hooves to eye you, curiously
>”We don’t have anyone like that here, sir.”
“Are you sure? Can you tr-“
>”I said we do NOT have anyone lyke that here, SIR!”
>You sigh and start to walk off
>You stop short at the door, however
>These next few questions-two, to be specific-need to be precise, in order to grant you access to Fluttershy room
>You swiftly turn around to face the bitchy counter-lady
>Your first question is…
 
“Do you know how long it would take me to choke a pony to death, silently?”
>She lifts her head up slightly
>”Heh?”
>You take slow steps towards the pony, with a devilish smirk on your face
>Soon you get to the counter, and rest your arm on it
“Four seconds.”
>Her face shows no emotion
“I am at the top of my class, lady. I can call up an army of marines to take your shit out in point-five seconds. You’ve messed with the wrong guy, BITCH!”
>She stares at you with no change in emotion
“Now, you’re going to give me her room, or you’re going to die. Which is it?”
>…
>”Security.”
>You’re thrown out faster than you could say ‘FUCK ME!’
>God damn it
>You walk in the hotel and try again
>”Sir, I’ve already told you to LEAVE. Please do so, or I will call the police.”
“Hold on, I’ve just got one more question…”
>What is it?
 
“Ahem. I have a message for the pony I’ve been trying to get to. That gray mailmare-“
>”Which one, sir?”
>Oh, she’s actually listening
“The one with the blonde hair and derped eyes. She gave a message to me and I’ve been trying to find her, but she keeps running because she’s extremely shy. Can I have her room number so that I may give this possibly important message to Fluttershy?”
>…
>”Five minutes, sir. You have FIVE minutes. Do NOT go over or I WILL call the police.”
“Understood, ma’am.”
>She gives you the room key, and you fly off to her room with the greatest of speeds-
>…She didn’t give you the room number
>That fucking BITCH!
>You’re about to step back down the stairs, when you remember that you only have five minutes-
>Three minutes, now
>You look at the room key, and it only says the floor
>12
>Floor, fucking, twelve
>Shit shit shit
>You rush to floor twelve as fast as you can
>And when you get there, you look at the nearest clock
>One minute
>Which door…. Which door?!
>You attempt to run to each door and use the key
>Doesn’t work
>Doesn’t work
>Doesn’t work
>Wibbly wobbly doesn’t fucking work
>30 seconds
>You look at door 12
>Please…
>You use the door key on the door
>…
>It clicks
>It fucking clicks!
>You take a sigh of relief and open the door, slowl-
>SLAM!
>The door’s slammed in your face, and quickly locked up
>It sounds like whoever was at the door put something in front of it, too
>You rush up to the door and knock on it furiously
“Please, please! Let me in!”
>”No way, meany! Who gives you the RIGHT to rush into our room like that?”
>Wait…
>Is that…?
>You hear a soft voice mumbling something in the background
>”No, Flutters! We can’t let him in here! What if he’s Discord, or something?”
>More mumbling
>”…I guuuuess you have a point, but still! He could be after us!”
 
>Even more mumbling from, presumably, Fluttershy
>”…Again, solid point, but… still! I won’t let him in! He could be dangerous!”
>Even MORE mumbling
>”How do YOU know that?”
>Mumbles the cat mumbles away…
>”…Oh. Well… I… errrrrrm…”
>It’s already past five minutes
>You’re screwed
>You hear the moving and unlocking of things, and mutters and mumblings of cute little ponies
>The door is creaked open, and a soft voice says “Come in… if you want…”
>What now?
 
>You slowly walk in the door, and you’re greeted by the super duper party pony herself, along with the one and only butterpone
>”Welcome, Anonymous, to our room!”
>Oh, now she’s being friendly
>But, you honestly don’t care
>You rush over to Fluttershy and hug the shit out of her
“I was so worried about you!”
>”R-Really?” The Pegasus stammers out with glee
>You look at her and smile, and she smiles back
>This is the first time she’s ever looked at you with pure happiness
>”GROUP HUG!”
>Pinkie jumps into the hug with a huge smile on her face
>Soon, the hug breaks, as you look at the two with glee-
>”POLICE!”
>Shit!
>”Police…?” The timid one asks, with fear
>”Awwh! Don’t worry, Flutters! The police are our friends!”
>Poor, poor, stupid Pinkie…
>You raise your hands up in defeat
>The two pony cops are brown with mustaches
>They have the usual cop uniforms on, except without any pants
>It shows their badges on their butts
>What do you d-
>”Officer! If I may speak!”
>Pinkie bounces in front of you with a purge of confidence
>”Step aside, miss. This man is a criminal!”
>”A criminal? For what?!”
>”He has harassed the clerk downstairs-“
>”The big meany? She hardly let us get a room! I had make a stupid excuse just to get us our room!”
>It’s silent for a while, before Pinkie speaks up again
>”Listen, officer, with all due respect, you were prrrroooooobably given a bad call, ‘cause Nonny here, is as innocent as ants.”
>”…Understood.”
>Wait, what?!
>How the shit did they just give in THAT easily?!
>The officers soon leave, as you’re left flabbergasted
>What now?
 
>You look at Pinkie with a smile, and kiss her straight on the lips
>Itwasaquickthreesecondkissthatyoudidntevenlikeatalltotally
>Youtotallydidntmakeitlastmorethanitshouldhave
>Andyoutotallyneverattemptedtoaddtongue
>After you break the kiss, Pinkie backs off a bit, taken aback by the kiss
>”O-Oh… Wow…”
>She blushes a bit, and giggles
>”Thanks, Nonny!”
>You then sit on one of the two beds and look at the three mares before you
>Rarity, Fluttershy, and Ponka
>The weakest of the main six
>And you’re alone with the three of them
>…You should ask them something
 
>Alright, quick questions, simple ones
“So… guys, what’s everybody’s occupations?”
>”I take care of animals!” Fluttershy chimes in, a smile of glee upon her face, “I take care of all sorts of animals! Such as my… pet bunny… Angel…”
>Her words went from almost as fast as Pinkie’s to her slow and nervous words once again
>Rarity decides to take over this conversation, adding in her own two cents
>”I ran a boutique in Ponyville, that sold all SORTS of beautiful fashion, made by yours truly.” She takes a subtle bow-well, if you spelled subtle like in pic related, that is
>”I was a fashionista of the FUTURE!”
>You were average, at best, Rarity
“So, what happened?”
>They ignore your question as Pinkie goes next
>”I plan parties! I’ve planned parties all across Ponyville! I’ve planned kid’s parties, mare’s parties, colt’s parties, donkey’s parties…”
>Pinkie goes on and on for the next couple of minutes, naming all the people she’s planned parties for
>You just get comfortable; you know you’re going to be here awhile
>Wait, why not ask the most important question while Pinkie’s rambling?
>You look at Rarity with a confused look
“So, Rarity, why was Fluttershy out in the forest all by herself?”
>Rarity dramatically gasps, and turns to Pinkie
>”Aaand last but not least, Rainbow Parties!”
>Pinkie notices the so-called “fashionista” noticing her, and tilts her head to the side
>”What?”
>”Don’t you know why poor Fluttershy was out there all by her lonesome?”
>The party pony’s face goes into one of shock, then she sighs
>”Do you reaaaaaaally want to know?”
 
>You would’ve made a snide comment, but you just decide to nod to the pinkster
>She sighs and nods
>”Well, lets start from the beginning!”
 
>Your name is Pinkie
>Pinkamena Diane Pie, to be exact
>But most call you Pinkie Pie
>You work at Sugar Cube Corner in the beautiful country of Equestria!
>You were delivering a super-duper special cake to Fluttershy for Angel’s birthday party
>It was carrot cake, of course
>What else for a bunny?
>Strawberry cake?
>Y’know, actually, that wouldn’t be that bad
>Mmmm, imagine the frosting!
>But, back on task!
>Getting to Fluttershy’s is a must-Oh there she is!
>Fluttershy is trotting off to Sugar Cube Corner
>She must of gotten impatient
>Or maybe she wants to surprise Angel!
>Seeing as how Flutters doesn’t have Angel with her
>And she carries that ‘lil bunny everywhere!
>Heck, she even brought him to the hoofball game yesterday
>Soon, you see Twilight trot across, with a mean face on
>You smile and wave to her, but she ignores you
>She must be really mad today…
>You decide to go over to her, when Fluttershy bumps into her first
>”O-Oh. Sorry, Twilight. I wasn’t watching where I was goin-“
>”Sorry? Oh, you’re SORRY?!”
>You wince at Twilight’s uncharacteristic yelling, at Fluttershy starts to shrink
>”I-I just wasn’t watching…”
>”Oh, so THAT’S your excuse? You weren’t WATCHING?!”
>Twilight’s yelling soon brings ponies from their houses to watch the scene at hand
>”I am a PRINCESS! One of the HIGHEST RULERS OF EQUESTRIA! You should be CULLED for your act!”
>Fear overwhelmed you, as your friend turned from a fun, booksmart princess to a seemingly evil dictator…
>You slowly stepped to the situation at hoof, as you noticed even more ponies came to step in, muttering and mumbling words of fear
>Every hoofstep seemed to matter at this moment…
“Twi-…Twilight…?”
>You nervously ask your turned friend
>”WHAT?!”
 
>”WHAT?!”
>She swiftly turned to you, and glared at you with eyes of fire
>You quickly shrink, and start to move away
“N-Nothing…” You say in a small voice
>Rushing quickly to the crowd, you stand in front of one of the ponies watching
>A tan pony, to be exact
>Twilight swifts back to the matter at hand
>She lowers herself to Fluttershy’s seeing level, with a smirk on her face
>”Now… Where were we?”
>Fluttershy falls limp to the ground, as Twilight goes to stand over her
>”Fluttershy, I, Princess Twilight, hereby BANISH you from EVER entering Ponyville AGAIN! May you die in the Everfree!”
>Shock and destruction encase you, as tears fill your eyes
>With a bright flash, Fluttershy is gone
>You quickly zoom away to Rarity’s, tears flowing from your eyes…
 
~End of Flashback~
 
>”And that’s what happened. We assumed that she had been transported to Everfree Forest, but when we couldn’t find her, we just assumed the worst.” The pink one states quite solemnly
>”After a day of searching, we left for Las Pegasus. We knew it was the least likely place Twilight could find us. She’d expect us to tell Princess Celestia, or something…”
>…
>Wait
>Why DIDN’T they tell the Princess?
>” ‘Cause, Nonny, Twilight would’ve “warned” Celestia we were just up to no good! And that wouldn’t be good, now would it?”
>…Oh
>Wait, did sh-
>”No.”
>Fluttershy is too distraught to say a word, while Rarity just looks at Pinkie with a confused look on her face
>Well, shit, what now?
 
>You… feel really sorry for Fluttershy
>One of her best friends… betrayed her
>All because, what? Twilight had a damn pissyfit over her bumping into Flutters?
>Jesus titty fucking Christ
>You give Fluttershy a tight, warm hug
>The mare is surprised by this, you can feel it
>But the feeling of tears on your shoulder lets you know that she’s thankful
>You only rub her back and hold onto her
>You think that saying something would be completely stupid at the moment
>The only thing you can do is share your warmth with her
>The hug lasts until her tears dry up, and her sobs diminish
>You both let go, and look at each other
>You can’t help but feel sorry for her battered face
>Tear streams stained onto her fur
>The only words you can say are
“I-…I’m sorry, Fluttershy.”
>You can tell she’s choking up
>The “You want to talk but you can’t because you feel like you have a lump in your throat” feeling
>”But wait…”
>The fashionista chimes in, with everyone-including yourself-looking towards her
>”Why would Twilight be so angry at Fluttershy for seemingly nothing? Usually, Twilight would be the modest one! Twilight would never banish one of her own friends!”
>Pinkie just shrugs, as Fluttershy looks to the floor
>”It’s all my f-fault…” She manages to mutter
>God do you want to say something… but nothing comes out…
>The whole room is in a deafening silence
>All that is shared are glances and stares
“Well, why don’t we pay Miss Sparkle a visit?” You finally muster up the courage to say
>Everyone gasps, and turns to you in surprise
>”A-Anon, you aren’t implying we set sail to Ponyville, are you?” Rarity stammers out, shocked at your boldness
>You nod, with a cheeky smirk on your face
“There, we could go to Twilight face to face! Maybe we would even be able to talk to her about why she treated Fluttershy like that!”
>More like beat the shit out of her
 
>Pinkie seems to agree, while Rarity still seems off put by the idea
>”Well, darling, what if it doesn’t work?”
>…
>Shit
>You didn’t think of that
>You ponder what could be done if talking to Twilight doesn’t work
>Twilight would warn Celestia of us…
>But…
>You got it!
“Well, what if we talk to Celestia and tell her the truth?”
>You can see pink and white cringe physically at that idea
“Listen, hear me out. Why wouldn’t Celestia trust a third party on this? Maybe she would trust Twilight over you guys, since she’s known her longer, but why wouldn’t she trust me over her?”
>The room is silent; Pinkie mumbles something agreeing with your idea
>…Until Rarity frowns and facehoofs
>”Didn’t you JUST state why she wouldn’t trust you?”
>…Shit, did you?
>You quickly look over your words in your head-Ooooooooh…
>You see where you fucked up now
>’Maybe she would trust Twilight over you guys, since she’s known her longer…’
>’trust Twilight over you guys, since she’s known her longer…’
>’she’s known her longer…’
>Why the fuck would Celestia trust some shit-spouting stranger over her own ex-protégé?
“…Well, we oughta try anyway! We can’t give up at Twilight!”
>Reluctantly, Rarity sighs and agrees, nodding her head slowly
“Then it’s decided! After Ponyville, we’ll head off to Canterlot!”
>But first… sleep
 
>You mention we should get rest, especially since it’s getting late
>…Huh, you never would of guessed TALKING would pass the time
>Mostly ‘cause it’s something you’ve hardly ever partaken in
>…In real life, anyway
>Speaking of Anyway, you and Fluttershy get under your bed’s covers, closest to the open window
>You snuggle up with your cuddle buddy, and you can just feel her smile radiate
>Pinkie and Rarity are sleeping on the same bed, too
>Completely away from each other
>As in, they’re not facing each other
>Which is a funny site, especially Rarity’s discomfort
>She’s obviously not a lesbian for Pinkie, at least
>Soon, next to Fluttershy, you fall blissfully asleep…
 
>”GUYS!”
“FUCK!”
>You fall out of your bed, screaming and hollering
>Your screaming awoken the ponies in the other bed
>They were cuddling
>You can’t help but chuckle at that irony
>But, you notice that your cuddle partner is… gone
>Looking towards the window, you notice your partner is standing on the windowsill, her wings flapped open
>”What is it darli-“
>Rarity looks to her left and shrieks
>”AHHHH!”
>Comically, she falls over the bed, kicking the bed sheets with her hind hooves
>All Pinkie can do is laugh
>Soon, however, all attention is brought to Fluttershy
>She jumps off the sill and smiles
>Then that smile quickly fades away
>”Uh… Guys… I need to tell you something…”
>You tilt your head, as to show interest
>”Well… Las Pegasus leads into… A desert.”
>A desert?
>”We can either head into the desert tomorrow… or we can wait for the train station to be fixed…”
>Shit… that train just destroyed the train station, didn’t it?
>”I suggest that we stay here for awhile, then head to the desert… B-But, it’s everybody decision… of course…”
>…Well?
>What the fuck do we do?
 
”Iiiiiii think we should stay here. It’s a lot safer, don’t you think?”
>You then turn to Ponka Poe
“Didn’t you say that Twilight wouldn’t expect any of us to be here?”
>Pinkie nods, a smile on her face
>Turning back to Flutters, you give a reassuring smile
“I just think that’s the best decision. It’d be a bit stupid to head into an unsafe territory, don’t you think?”
>Fluttershy gives a small smile and agrees, nodding her head
“I mean, not to frighten anyone but, one of us could die out there!”
>”That iiiiiis true! Legend says, nopony has EVER come out of San Palomino Desert! It’s a death zone!”
“See? Even Pinkie-“
>…Wait
>WAIT
 
>Quickly turning to Pinkie, you stare at her with confusion and fury
“How the shitting fuck do you know the name of the desert?”
>” ‘Cause its right there, silly!”
>Pinkie points to the map on the wall, hanging by a frame and a nail
>…Oh
>You chuckle it off as you apologize to the pink party in a pony
>Taking the map off of it’s nail on the wall, you break the frame in two
>…With some ridiculously fake kung fu
>And you wonder why you’re a social outcast
>”Y’know you could of taken it out of the frame using the back, right? Or even could’ve just left the frame on!”
“…Good point.”
>You bring the photo to Pinkie’s bed, as you direct Flutters and Rarity to the bed
>Why Rarity stayed on the floor through all that, you’ll never know
>You put the photo flat on the bed, and point to Appleloosa
“Going into the desert wasn’t that bad of a plan, Fluttershy. See, we could go from the desert to Appleloosa, and use it’s train to get home-“
>”Darling, please! That’s the second-most obvious place Twilight would find us! She probably looked there first!”
>”Rarity’s right, Nonny! Twilight would probably find us there and take us away!”
“Buuut, staying here in Las Pegasus would mean waiting for the train to get fixed. And the more we wait, the more likely this Twilight is to find us.”
>Pinkie agrees, but Rarity is just not buying it
“Besides, didn’t you guys say she would’ve looked there already?”
>Fluttershy looks to her two friends, as they nod
“Soooo, going there NOW would lead her off our trail! Right?”
>Pinkie nods with glee, and Fluttershy seems to understand your logic too
>Rarity, however…
 
>”Darling, PLEASE! Twilight can track us! We left almost ALL our things at home! She would know we’re going there!”
“Then how come she hasn’t found us yet?”
>Silence falls upon the room
>Rarity’s face just says ‘Shit, he’s right…’ all over it
>Pinkie can easily see that Rarara is beat, with that goofy smile on her face
>Fluttershy chuckles at Rarity’s face
>”…Fine! But I say we take a vote,” the fashionista starts, angrily, “All who say we stay here?”
>Rarity raises her hoof
>”All who don’t?”
>Pinkie and Flutters raise their hooves
>Democracy always win-
>”Anon? Since if you voted for my side, it would just be tied, your vote will count as two.”
>Shit
>Well, who do we go for?
 
>You smirk at Rarity, who frowns at you
“I’m going with MY side, thank you very much!”
>Rarity just rolls her eyes
>”Fine! But don’t come whining to me when we d-“
>”We’ll be fiiiiiine, Rarity! There’s nothing to worry about with Anon on our side!”
>The fashionista rolls her eyes again
>”If you says so…” She mutters in an annoyed tone
>”We should probably get some rest, guys… I mean, we’ve been up for a long time…”
>Fluttershy’s right-wait
“Fluttershy’s right, guys. We need to rest for tomorrow!”
>Pinkie smiles and nods, while Rarity sighs
>Drama queen
>You take the map, and put it away in your pocket
>Rarity jumps in her bed, and takes up all the space on the bed
>Pinkie promptly butt bumps her out of there, and takes her rightful side of the bed
>Rarity, once again, sighs, taking her spot in the bed as well
>Dramaqueen
>You look over to Fluttershy, and notice she’s already soundly asleep
>You smile and slowly, and quietly, get in you place in the bed, soon drifting off to a deep sleep…
 
>"WAKEY WAKEY! EGGS AND RUBIES!"
 
>You jump out of your bed, clenching your lower lip with your teeth
>Not gonna curse today!
“FUCK!”
>…Hitting your head on the floor will make ya curse, though
>That really hurt…
>You look towards Pinkie, she has that goofy smile on her face
>”Hope ya slept well, Nonny!”
>Fluttershy and Rarity are standing on either side of Ponka
>”Pinkie had the curtsy to buy the supplies we need for the trip: 100 pounds of food, 4 galloons of water, 3 sleeping bags and a tent.” Fluttershy says in a quite excited tone, “I just wish I had brought my tent.”
>”Yes, yes, what a tragedy that we had to pay FIVE BITS for an extra tent.”
>You can’t help but roll your eyes at Rarity
“We could’ve saved five bits if we brought the tent.”
>”It wouldn’t of made a difference if you brought the tent or not!”
>”Girls! Lets not start fighting already! Our heated debate last night was enough logic I could take for one day!” The pink one states, quickly slumping over on the floor
>You chuckle at Pinkie’s performance, as you get up from the floor
“Well, lemme get ready, alright?”
>The ponies nod, as you enter the bathroom-which is… modern
>It has a toilet, a special shower that uses hooves to turn the shower from cold to hot, and a hoof wash with the same technology
>…However, there’s also a unicorn one right next to the other, just that it’s more suited for humans that anyone else
>You assume unicorns use their magic to turn it on and off
>That actually really convenient, to be honest
>You wonder if it’s like this everywhere…
>But, enough of the specifics
 
>You wash up as quickly as you can, going to the bathroom, brushing your teeth-tooth brushes and hoof brushes are labeled as so, as well as both brushes being optimized for hooves only-and washing yo body
>Nigga gotta be clean, rite?
>Putting your washed-yes you washed that too-back on, as well as some deodorant-it’s fucking surprising how much shit is optimized for hooves here. You mean, they have these little sticky things on the deodorant sticks that you can let go of unless you use your other hand. The same tech is on the tooth and hoof brushes, as well. They’re like those sticky things on junk mail that come off real easily, but stronger. You imagine that ponies are strong enough to pull it off their hooves without using their other hoof-on your arm pits
>Exiting the bathroom, you lead the ponies out the hotel-while promptly giving the bird to the mare at the desk. Hey, she doesn’t know what that means, so you’re all good-and lead them to the edge of Las Pegasus
>With the map in your hand, you give a smile to the desert before you
>You can’t help but chuckle
>An anxiety feeling fills you, but…
>A feeling of adventure and excitement fills you, too
“Well, is everypony ready?”
>A resounding “Yeah!” and one “Why not?” came from the ponies behind you
>You don’t even have to guess at which one said “Why not?”
>But that doesn't worry you at all…
“San Palomino Desert, here we come.” You mutter, walking straight into the desert
