“Tara? What are you doing at Brandy’s house?”

Thomas couldn’t take it anymore, he reminded himself to buy a bottle (or 2) of whisky on his way back home, after this whole mess with Pinkie will be settled.

“Albert, it’s really nice to see you, but who’s Brandy?” Twilight asked with a bit of fear in her voice.

“Brandy is the guy who lives in this house.” Albert said while pointing to the house behind them.

They both gulped and started to think of something to say, however their thoughts were stopped when all three of them heard a certain sound from the house behind them.

That sound, was an explosion.

Without thinking Thomas ran to the front door, finding out that they are open, all three of them stepped into Brandy’s house, and ran towards direction of the sound.

They opened door to Brandy’s room and stood there agape looking at the scene unfolding before them, most surprised one was of course Albert who now was looking at his best friend and a pink earth pony standing next to each other while looking at still burning desk.

“I’m starting to think that using those candies with fireworks won’t be a such good idea.” Brandy said

“I think they gave a pretty nice smell after it all went KABOOM.” Pinkie said while pulling out a fire extinguisher from her mane.

“What is, what I, I don’t even…” Albert didn’t know what to say, he could see a Pinkie Pie standing alive in front of him, even talking with his best friend.

“OH Hey Thomas, Hi Twilight this is Brandy, he’s my new friend, we are going to organize a party together!” Pinkie said while throwing away the fire extinguisher.

“Nice to meet you guys, oh hey Pinkie I got an idea, we should use mooore gunpowder, and maybe add few beans of coffee here and there.”

“That’s a great idea!”

“OK NOW STOP!” Albert shouted surprising everyone and even startling Thomas a little.

“What the hell is going on here Brandy? Not only you drunk this fucking coffee, you are creating a goddamn fireworks, and why is there a Pinkie Pie? Did you drug me or something? I thought we talked abou….”

Then he realized something

“Wait, did Pinkie, called you Twilight, Tara?”

‘Shit, I was hoping he won’t realize but it seems this guy’s brony.' Thomas thought to himself

“Well you see, I…”

Twilight didn't know what to say, she only talked with him for few hours, but she felt that she can trust him, she also didn't know what this feeling was, but looking at him made her heartbeat a little faster

“Ok, we will tell you the whole truth since you already saw Pinkie, but you have to promise you won’t tell anypony.”

Although Albert was surprised at first by her using the term “anypony” he quickly responded.

“I promise.” He wanted to know what is she hiding, he met her only once and they talked only for 2 or 3 hours, but he felt like he knew her for much longer, he even managed to form a small crush on her just from this small conversation they had.

“Ok then.” Twilight said while lifting the illusion spell from herself. When Albert saw her in pony version he quickly realized why he felt like he knew her, he turned pale, and was staring at her agape.

“You are, you are, Twil… Twilight… Twilight Sparkle.” Was all he managed to say before fainting.

“I wonder how come he didn’t pass out at seeing Pinkie but he did when u showed yourself.”

“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know, at least we have one problem solved for now, but there’s a bigger problem ahead.” Twilight said and turned towards Brandy and Pinkie, who were now eating a cake and having a cup of tea

“Where the fuck did they get that from?” Thomas was now really confused, sure Terry and Rarity had rather many things in common, also Michael and Applejack shared some characteristics, and even he seemed to be similar to Rainbow Dash in some ways, but this “Brandy” guy was like a human version of Pinkie Pie.

“Hey guys you want to join us? We decided we should take a break and have a couple cupcakes, but then we realized we don’t have any cupcakes, so Brandy said “Hey maybe we can eat a cake” and I said that it’s a great idea so we got ourselves a cake, and a cup of tea.”

Thomas was rubbing his temples, his brain wasn’t able to understand what was she saying without causing huge pain in the process.

‘Seriously how can she talk like that without pauses, does she even breath?’

“Ok that is enough fun for today, now Pinkie be a good mare and let us immobilize you and take you back home, and never again let you anywhere near coffee.” Twilight said

“But, but we are having a cake here, and later we were supposed to go buy things for the party.” Brandy said almost crying.

“Party is officially cancelled.”

Both Brandy and Pinkie burst out in tears after hearing that, Pinkie took out a box of tissues from her mane, while Brandy got himself a towel.

“Twilight, if I’ll be exposed to this complete lack of sense any longer I might go finally mad.” Thomas said.

Twilight thought for few seconds and then she had an idea, Thomas was once again startled by Pinkie who held a light bulb above Twilight’s head. What really scared him was the fact that it turned on the moment Twilight thought of something even though it wasn’t connected to anything.

“I can use teleport to get us back home, there Pinkie and Brandy can eat their cake, and we can explain everything to mr. unconscious over there.” Twilight said while pointing her hoof towards Albert.

Pinkie’s ears perked up and Brandy started to smile again

“That’s great idea, can we take our Fireworks with us?” They both asked simultaneously

“NO.” Thomas and Twilight also answered simultaneously with straight faces.

After deciding what they are going to do, Thomas called Alex and Terry explaining them what happened, while being slightly surprised and angry when Terry told him about his mini-date with Rarity.

Thomas placed Albert near the rest of them and Twilight used her magic to teleport all of them to Thomas’s house.

After rest of the crew gathered they chatted and waited until Albert woke up, while also making sure Brandy and Pinkie won’t get their hands/hoofs on anymore coffee.

When Albert finally woke up he saw Brandy and said.

“Dude I just had weirdest dream ever, you called me to your house to show me something awesome, and I got there and there was this girl I have a crush on, and she was with that guy, and then explosion, we went in and there were you and Pinkie Pie, and then Tara changed into Twilight.”

“Hey “that guy” has a name, it’s Thomas and it’s nice to meet you.” Thomas said to Albert while swearing at himself for forgetting about buying whisky.

Albert lifted his head and looked around, he couldn’t believe his eyes, he saw all girls from mane six, except for Applejack, few guys he didn’t know, and Brandy who was right now making a balloon animal.

“What, but this, you mean that, this wasn’t a dream?” Albert mumbled

“Eeyup.” Thomas nodded.

Albert looked around slowly accepting the reality

“Are you sure I haven’t gone mad?” All guys nodded

“Then this is amazing! Who would have thought all those fim fics about ponies in real world, this is actually true, how fascinating, I wonder if..” He stopped when he looked at Twilight, she was blushing hardly.

Albert realized he just admitted before her that he had a crush on her, and suddenly he averted his eyes and started to blush as well.

“Hey where is Applejack? She didn’t come here with the rest of you?” Brandy asked with innocent smile.

As if on cue, Applejack walked into the living room, it was just like Rarity said, she was good as new.

“What’s up everypony! Did Ah missed anything?” Applejack looked around and saw two new faces one of them was looking at the floor and blushing, while the other one was playing chess with Pinkie.

“It sure does seem so, Hey Thomas, care to tell meh what happened during the time Ah was a wreck?”

“Sure AJ let’s start with..” He was cut short by his phone ringing, he didn’t recognize the number so he answered the call.

“Hey, it’s Michael here, is Rebecca home?”
