Hey guys, quick A/N before the chapter starts. Since I can’t really think of names for my chapters, for now I’m just gonna name the chapter with whatever song I was currently listening to, and don’t worry as I’ll remember to not name two chapters the same, as well as try naming something relevant to the chapter. Like I wouldn’t name a chapter ‘The Trial’ when the chapter is about the main character making some more friends, or ‘Fuck Her Gently’ when it’s about the main character getting into fights or something. Well, enjoy the chapter!

“Twilight Sparkle! We have come for thee!” Luna bellowed in her Royal Canterlot Voice.

“F-for what reason Princess Luna?” Twilight startled by Luna’s sudden change from normal to loud volume control.

“We…” Luna began, but noticed how she was frightening Twilight, and remembered that she should not have used her Royal Voice. “Ahem, excuse me… I, Twilight Sparkle, require your assistance in a royal mission.” Twilight, intrigued by what the princess meant, listened on. “I need your help to watch the new pony who has come to Ponyville. My sister wishes to observe him but cannot do it herself, so she sent me and asked me to have you come along.”

Twilight, now angered by what happened last night, reluctantly agreed, knowing she couldn’t refuse the princess’s order. “Very well Princess Luna, I will help you.”

“Very good! Now, we need to pick up one more pony before we are to proceed with the mission.”

“Princess? Who would that pony be?”

“Why, the one called Fluttershy of course.”

“Fluttershy!? Excuse me Princess Luna, but I think that’s a bad idea, she’s pretty much terrified of the new pony in town! I don’t think that would be a very wise idea. And besides, even if we are to follow this new pony, wouldn’t he recognize you as one of the princesses?”

“Hmm, I suppose you are right about my form. As for Fluttershy, she might be frightened now, but I need her kindness if we wish for this pony to open up.”

“I suppose… B-“

“Then it’s agreed! I will change my form with magic and we will then get Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness!”

Twilight knew she couldn’t budge the princess from not taking Fluttershy along, but still agreed nevertheless. That was when her stomach had begun to rumble as it was still early in the morning and she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. “Ehehe, oops. “ Twilight said in embarrassment. “It seems I haven’t eaten breakfast yet… do you mind if-“ Twilight began to say before Princess Luna cut her off.

“Not at all young Twilight.” It was there that the princess’s stomach began to growl as well. Clearly embarrassed as well, she thought of an idea. “It seems I have not eaten as well. Perhaps we should eat breakfast before we are to get the yellow one?”

“That sounds like a wonderful idea Princess. Spike?”

“Already on it Twilight.” Spike called from the kitchen, where he had been the entire time Twilight and Luna had been talking.

“He seems to be a very competent servant.” Luna commented about Spike.

“He’s more like a little brother to me than a servant… Oh! We almost forgot. Shouldn’t you change forms Princess? I mean, I know everypony in town knows I’m Celestia’s student and all, but I still think that it would be a bad idea if somepony saw you coming out of my house in your current form.”

“I suppose you are right Twilight, I should change forms now before we do forget. Very well, stand back.” Twilight stepped a few steps back as a dark blue aura surrounded Princess Luna. In mere moments, the entire aura engulfed the Princess and when it faded away, it revealed a younger looking, lighter blue Unicorn with a just the crescent moon for a Cutie Mark and the same light blue mane that Luna had when the Elements first freed her from the Nightmare.

“You look good Princess, I doubt anypony will be able to recognize you.”

“Thank you Twilight Sparkle, I am grateful for your compliment. Now… shall we eat breakfast?” And if on cue, Spike came out with a stack full of waffles and set it on the table.

“Breakfast, is served.”

On the other side of town, Octavia, Vinyl, and Joseph were still having the same talk from before. “So Fiery… Or should I call you Joseph or whatever now?” Octavia said in a sharp tone, still somewhat upset at him for walking in on her playing with her cello in bed when she thought everypony was asleep, though Joseph thought it was because he was keeping secret he was actually a human the entire time.

“I don’t know… I guess I didn’t think that far ahead yet, thinking I was gonna have more time to think about it and all. I guess you could call me Joseph if you felt like it, but it would probably be a bad idea to call me that outside the house.”

“I agree, though I still like the idea of calling you Jojo… Jojo and Fi-fi.” Vinyl grinned like her usual self. It was sorta weird for Joseph because whenever she did it she had her shades on, but now with them off, for some reason she looked like some sort of white she-devil. Like she had evil intent behind it… Then again it’s probably just the eyes making him think like that.

Suddenly, everypony’s stomach began to rumble, indicating that it was time to eat. “Eheh, seems like we should eat some breakfast.” Joseph said with a smile, trying to make the situation less awkward.

“*Sigh* I suppose we do need to eat, but don’t think this is over Fiery! You still have some things to answer.” Octavia said at Joseph, where she was still wondering about that magic effect he did yesterday.

Octavia went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone as she seemed to be the only capable pony in the household as Vinyl was just really bad at cooking while the only thing Joseph could cook were ramen noodles, toast, and cereal. Joseph and Vinyl sat at the dining room table to get ready to eat when Vinyl thought she could strike up a conversation. “So… What’s Earth like?”

This caught Joseph off-guard, not because he wasn’t expecting it, but rather because compared to this world so far, this world seemed to be a dream come true compared to Earth. “Well it’s… it has its problems…”

“Oh? Like what?” Vinyl somehow got her shades on while Joseph wasn’t looking which kind of spooked him but nevertheless answered, but with another question.

“It depends… first tell me what type of problems this world has and then I guess I can tell you what Earth has.”

“Well, besides Discord and Nightmare Moon (‘Discord? Nightmare Moon? Who the hell thought of these names?’), I guess the worst we had in this town was the parasprites about a year ago which ended up nearly eating all our plants, until Twilight Sparkle screwed it up and made them start eating everything non-organic. Luckily Pinkie Pie knew how to deal with them and was able to clear the city of them. But other than that, I really don’t think the world has any problems, so long as you stay out the Everfree Forest of course.”

“Well then, I guess I owe you answers then.” Joseph said, which got a Vinyl grin. “Earth has many problems. Famine, murder, wars, natural disasters, the crashed economy which hasn’t recovered yet and when I was still on Earth seemed to be getting worse, not to mention all the rebellions that have been going on in the Middle East and such. So yeah… Earth is pretty fucked up.”

“Wow… I… I really didn’t think a place could be so…” Vinyl was starting to say.

“Fucked up?” Joseph tried finishing for her.

“That’s one way of saying it, but I was looking more along the lines of ‘terrible’” Vinyl said, now with a concerned look on her face, shocked at how a world could be so horrible and why anyone would want to live there was beyond her. Suddenly Octavia came in with some pancakes for all of them and began to speak. “Two things. First off, please stop cursing, as this world looks down on it and is considered a very bad thing to do. Second, if this world is as bad as you claim, and with what you told us earlier… Why would you want to return?”

“To answer you Octavia, first off, cursing is a way of expressing myself, but I’m not stupid enough to use it in a place that looks down upon it, so I’ll try to stop, but no promises. Second, I… I…” Then it dawned on Joseph. Why did he want to go back? It’s as he said earlier, Earth was a fucked up place to live. If it was so bad and this place was so like… Paradise… Then why did he want to return? He didn’t get along with his mom, he didn’t have any friends, he was getting a degree in something he hated doing, and lastly he was stuck in a dead-end job and place to live and wouldn’t get out of that situation until he started on his career that would probably be many years to come. Hell, probably many decades by the moving he was doing. He was just some low-down, cigarette smoking, booze drinking nobody. “I… I guess I really don’t know Octavia, I never really thought about it until now…”

They ate in silence as they let Joseph try to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. Did he really want to try to find a way back home? Or did he want to go back? He had no idea, and making him think about more and more just made him angrier by the second. When they finished Vinyl cleared the table while Octavia wanted to ask Joseph some more questions. “So Fiery… Is it ok if I keep calling you that?”

“Fine by me, no real objections really, considering I was the one who came up with it on the spot.”

“Very well… So Fiery, do you… Do you remember ANYTHING from last night?”

“No… Not really… Why? Did I do something stupid while I was drunk?”

Vinyl came back into the room and sat back into her chair, with suddenly another grin on her face, while Octavia started rubbing the back of her neck with hoof trying to phrase the next sentence. “Well… You sort of…”

“Sort of?...”

“Sort of puked… All over one of the Elements of Harmony…”

“…. What or who is an ‘Element of Harmony’?”

“You remember that purple mare with her friends? They’re the Elements of Harmony, and are somewhat a big deal as they’ve saved the world twice now by defeating both Nightmare Moon and Discord…”

“…So… they’re like national heroes or something?”

“More like world heroes.” Vinyl said through her huge grin.

“Well fuck…” Joseph said out loud. Octavia gave him a glare for saying it.

“That’s another thing that you apparently did last night. After they introduced themselves to you… You apparently, and I quote, told them “I don’t give a fuck about you or your friends.” And that you told them to ‘fuck off.’” For some reason or another it had disturb Joseph that Octavia was saying the ‘f word’, not because the word bothered him, but because somehow it didn’t fit her. “After you did that, that was when Vinyl and I rushed over after sensing something was going on and you… puked, on one of them.”

“Huh… that’s interesting…” Joseph said with a face that said that he was intrigued by something. Octavia and Vinyl looked at him, then at each other, then back to him, then asked.

“What’s interesting?”

“Huh? Oh, well, it’s just that I don’t usually tell someone to ‘fuck off’ unless they really piss me off, drunk or not. Tell me, did they do anything else before that happened that would have upset me?”

Vinyl and Octavia looked at each other again and shrugged, then Octavia spoke up. “Not that we know of.”

“Well then, I wonder what it was.” They all looked at each other trying to figure out what the Elements could have possibly done to piss him off so much. It was then that Octavia noticed how late it was getting and needed to be off to practice with her band for an upcoming performance they had at another fancy Canterlot garden party.

“It seems I have to get going, but we should continue this conversation when I return Fiery.” Joseph nodded indicating he understood and then Vinyl spoke up.

“Well if this conversation is done then I’m going back to bed, I don’t have work until later tonight. See ya.” And with that she walked to the stairs and started climbing them.

It was then that Joseph noticed that even though he had his Iphone, he didn’t have his cigarettes and lighter. “Hey Octavia, you mind if I get my smokes and lighter back? They’re kinda important to me.”

Octavia was about to leave when she turned to him to answer. “I suppose… what do these ‘smokes’ do anyway Fiery?”

‘Oh, right, they don’t have cigarettes in the world. Weird, you’d think they’d have them considering they have booze, but nope.’ “They’re… They’re something I need to relieve stress… though soon I guess I’m going have to find something else to relieve my stress with.”

“I see… well they stink nevertheless, so please don’t ‘smoke’ them in the house.”

Joseph looked at her intrigued. “How do you know how they smell?”

“I was out on the balcony last night getting some fresh air when you decided to ‘smoke’ one. It smelled so bad I had to go back into my room to get away from the smell.”

“Oh… I see… Well don’t worry Octavia, I promise I won’t smoke inside the house as I know how bad they smell.”

When she gave him his cigarettes and lighter, she had one last thing to say to him before she left for work. “And that’s another thing, enough with this ‘Octavia’, or ‘Ms. Octavia’ nonsense, please, just call me ‘Tavi.” She said to him with a smile.

For the first time in many years, Joseph gave a genuine smile back. “’Tavi huh?... Alright, I’ll do that…”

“Good. Well, I guess I should get going to work.” When she got to the door she gave a quick look back at him, where he had his back turned at her looking at his smokes. “See you later… Fi-fi.” Clearly embarrassed for saying it, she quickly ran out the door and closed it behind her.

Joseph hadn’t heard her because he was too busy wondering he was going to do after he ran out of cigarettes. ‘Fuck man, there has to be something I can do that can help me out, anything! I mean, do they have something that’s equivalent to cigarettes? ARGH! This is so damn frustrating! Fuck it, I’ll smoke one now upstairs and just forget about it for now.’ He grabbed the smokes and lighter and proceeded to go upstairs to his room.

Before he went inside though, he heard something coming from Vinyl’s room. When he got closer he almost knocked when he heard her inside. “Ooh, yes, Fi-fi!”

‘The fuck?’ He put his ear to the door, where started to hear a faint buzzing noise. ‘Wait… oh dear god please no…’ But his fears were coming to light.

“Yes, yes, yes, Yes, Yes, YEEES!!! FI-FI!!” He heard Vinyl scream out, then heavy panting from the other side of the door.

Joseph stood there, feeling extremely awkward. ‘I… I better go.’ He thought and proceeded to go to his own bedroom, where even then he felt extremely uncomfortable. He went to the balcony and smoked one of his remaining cigarettes, then when he was done he put it out and threw it over the balcony once again. He went back inside the clean his mouth of the smell and when he came out he looked at the guitar resting against the wall. “I should really check out if I can still play the guitar and see if that weird thing happens again.” He said to no one in particular.

He grabbed his guitar and sat on his bed. He then began to play Led Zeppelin’s ‘Achilles Last Stand’. Just like before, right before he started to play, he felt a surge of energy rush into him. While playing he was able to perfect the lyrics and while he was playing the other instruments for the song were being played by specters that had appeared by themselves.

After the 10 minute song was done, he opened his eyes that were once again closer while playing, and saw Vinyl standing there in the doorway. “Cool song, was really impressive watching you.” She said.

“Oh, h-hey Vinyl, didn’t know you were there, I thought you were sleeping.” He felt really weird around her now after what he had heard just a few minutes ago. Vinyl could sense he was tense for some reason.

“Something the matter? Something seems to be troubling you.” She said, a worried look on her face.

“Oh no, nothings the matter, everything is just fine.” He said trying to play it off. ‘You fucking masturbated thinking about me! Even after I told you I wasn’t pony! How do you think I would feel!?’

“Well alright… If there really is something troubling you though, don’t be hesitant to ask.” She gave Joseph a smile and went back to her room.

Joseph ran to the doorway to reply to her. “Alright Vinyl, I will.” He yelled to her down the hallway. He went back to his room where he put his guitar up against the wall and then laid down on his bed. ‘Why does that happen each time I play my guitar? I think of a song, a surge of energy goes through me, and then it’s like I can perfect it, both vocally and with the guitar. Why damnit!?’ he thought to himself. He had enough of it and then just turned on the TV while lying on his bed flipping through channels to see if there was anything to watch, only thing he saw worth watching at all was apparently a little girl’s cartoon called ‘My Little Walrus: Eggmen are Cool.’ ‘Why is that name so damn familiar sounding?... Oh well, whatever.’ He thought, before switching to another channel to see if anything else was on after the episode was done. He promptly fell asleep on his bed later on to take a nap because there was nothing else worth watching.

Earlier in the day on the other side of town, two unicorn mares, one purple and the other light blue, were going to a certain yellow pegasus’s house.

Well, there’s chapter 5 of ‘Into A New World’. I hope you enjoyed it. I would like to also announce that I have gotten over 1000 views on Fimfiction . net xD. Ahem, you’ll have to excuse me because I didn’t think I would get that many views with this story, at all. Also, I would like to also announce that the next few chapters might be coming out not as much, as my brother whom I see maybe once every 2 years is coming home on the 20th and isn’t returning to Utah until the 30th. I’ll still try to get some more chapters out, just don’t count it to be that frequent between the 20th and the 30th. Also, looking for any pre-readers who are willing, just PM my Fimfic or Fanfic account, both being Poodicus if you want to help me out :D. Well, see you guys next time!
