A Pony, Home at Last - APaAPA Pony, Home at LastTwilight didn't want to open her eyes. She didn't want to look and see an unfamiliar world again. She wanted to wake up from this nightmare, open her eyes and see her bedroom and her library and her beloved books. She felt grass beneath her hooves. She smelled clovers and daisies, the musty moss on an old tree's roots. She wanted to believe she was home.She waited for the others to respond. She heard the flapping wings of Rainbow Dash, the quiet breaths of Fluttershy. Rarity whimpered – not a good sign! Applejack pressed her flank against Twilight; she could tell it was Applejack from the muscle. Pinkie Pie – w
A Pony and a Portal - Part 3.5A Pony and a Portal, Part 3.5A Pony and a Pink Snow(Quick Author's Note: READ MY COMMENT BELOW BEFORE READING)Twilight landed with a grunt in a deep pile of snow. Popping her head out, she noticed that five other heads joined her in the snowbank."Wh-what the hay?" shivered Rainbow Dash, jarred from the sudden switch from island heat to freezing cold.Fluttershy let out a relatively quiet shriek, jumping out of the snow like something had bit her. As loudly as she could, she screamed, "Blood! There's blood on the snow!"Everypony followed suit, jumping up from the snowbank with startled cries – all except Twilight, who had taken the
A Pony and a Portal -Chapter 1A Pony and a Portal Twilight Sparkle was out documenting some of the wild flowers near her house when she spotted a small, white object lying in the tall grass. For once, the unicorn had taken a break from studying magic and had decided instead to explore outside her backyard. After redesigning some of the library for an extension of her bedroom, she had unearthed a variety of gardening and flower identification books. Not one to leave a book unturned, she started researching and, like most things she researched, became instantly obsessed. All of the flowers outside of the library now had neat, pristine little signs telling what genus
A Pony and a Portal Ch 2A Pony and a Paradise "I think everything's okay," she said hesitantly, checking herself and the others. Four hooves, two ears. Mane. Tail. A horn for her; wings for Dash. Her worries had been for nothing. Not even Applejack's cowboy hat was a hair out of place. Applejack sniffed around while Rainbow Dash rose a few feet in the air to survey. They were in a wide field, littered with trees and patches of forest. Fresh green grass, still wet with dew, sprung up about them. Beautiful wildflowers, species with which Twilight was unfamiliar, bloomed across the field. A small creek ran across gently sloping hills. It tinkled like chi
A Pony and a Portal - Ch 3A Pony and a Plummet "Ah don't like lyin', Twilight. You *know* Ah don't.""But did you get it?" Applejack tossed her head. The necklace slipped over her head and around her neck. "You bet yer bushels Ah got it. But Ah swear, Twi, if you ever try ta get me t'do somethin' like that again, Ah'm gonna applebuck ya straight back ta Canterlot. She *kissed* me! On the snout!" Applejack rubbed her nose disdainfully. Twilight chuckled. She had counted on Applejack's particular use of vernacular, hoping her friend's unusual drawl would make Megan think Applejack was, well, a few apples short of a barrel. She hadn't counted on it workin
A Pony and a Portal - Ch 4A Pony and a PortalChapter Four – A Pony and a ProblemApologies, a momentary Author's note! I know some of you are not familiar with past MLP series, and My Little Pony Tales is no exception. Before continuing with this fic, I strongly recommend you follow the link in the comments section and watch just this one tiny little ten-minute video, which is the first and only appearance by non-earth ponies in the series. It also gives you a good understanding of My Little Pony Tales, mainly the fact that it's total crap (though it does have its fans...somehow).Author's note over. Enjoy the fic!~*~One moment, Twilight Sparkle was w
A Pony and a Portal - Ch 5A Pony and a PortalChapter 5 – A Pony and a PatchMorning seemed to come too soon. Twilight found herself stiff from sleeping on the hard floor and wondered how ponies ever managed to survive without soft beds. Uncharacteristically, she woke last. The other five were sitting at a table eating breakfast muffins."Murninf," Pinkie Pie mumbled, spraying muffin crumbs everywhere. Rarity gave her a reproachful look but rolled her eyes in defeat."Everypony sleep well?" Twilight offered, crawling up into a chair.They mumbled affirmatives. Twilight hovered a muffin over to her plate, inspecting it wearily, deciding if the rough sleep had
APaAP Ch6 A Pony and a PuppetA Pony and a PortalChapter 6 - A Pony and a PuppetA note before we begin. Bad things happen to good fillies here. Not enough to warrant a grimdark rating, but you've been warned.When Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack arrived, Sweetheart was already upstairs, helping Melody with her twin sisters. Bright Eyes and Clover were in the kitchen preparing a meal for the young fillies. Fluttershy was curled up on a chair, trembling, pale to the point of whiteness."Fluttershy, are you okay?" Not that a frightened Fluttershy was a rare occurrence, but an afternoon petting bunnies with Sweetheart would not logically end up in such a sight."
A Pony and a Portal - Ch 7A Pony and a PunditThere was a splash of cold water as Twilight landed on a pile of wet and struggling ponies. The pool wasn't very big or deep, but the cool air of sundown made the water frigid. Twilight managed to get on her hooves before the others. Pinkie Pie's green mohawk had dissipated, her hair now limp and clinging to her neck. The green dye ran down her face and body, and the pink pony's face gave a look of disappointment."Aww, man! I wanted to keep that!"Rarity, on the other hoof, was overjoyed. "The perm washed out! The perm washed out!" She giggled, flipping her wet hair back and forth, unwittingly spraying water on Applejack
A Pony and a Portal - Ch 8A Pony and a Portal Chapter 8A Pony and a Princess"Where should we begin?" Twilight said, certainly overwhelmed by the sight before her. This Ponyville looked almost identical to the Ponyville she had come to admire. Sure, the parks were bigger and White-Tail Woods was sort of encroaching on the town border and Sweet Apple Acres and its rolling hills full of apple trees was nowhere in sight, but she could tell that, structurally, it was the same Ponyville. It meant lots of little shops and houses, countless ponies to ask, and absolutely no place to start. Twilight was about to say something when she heard her own name.Kimono came up at a f
A Pony and a Portal - Ch 9A Pony and a PortalChapter 9: A Pony and a PastryTwilight started out of the cave, a bemused smile on her face. It had taken a little longer than expected to explain her situation to the princess, but she found Celestia more than understanding and gratefully helpful. Her friends outside were chatting quietly amongst themselves, no doubt sharing the information they'd collected. They all stopped as Twilight, still grinning, appeared."Whatever took so long?" said Rarity. "We'd feared you'd been eaten or somesuch horrible thing!"Twilight's grin turned flat. "Thanks for the vote of confidence.""Not that we weren't gonna come in after ya," Ap
