I walked in to the San Diego Comicon convention center with my best friend in the world right beside me. Yes me and my friend flew all the way from the East coast to the west just for a convention. I should get back on track. I was walking into the building dressed as Ethan smith, a version of the Wanderer from fallout 3 and my friend Evo was dressed as the Courier from Fallout New Vegas. This year we decided to go as characters from Fallout. We had put so much into our costumes, especially me. I had been bending backwards for months trying to get the outfit right and so did Evo. So here we were, going inside for the convention. When we got in and got passed administration we made it a few feet before we were stormed for autographs and pictures. Now i'm not one for that much attention, but it was good. That kind of attention makes you feel special, like your a celebrity or something. As soon as the people fanned out, me and Evo went and started to check out the booths with the merchandise. We were walking past all the tables because nothing had caught our eyes, until I noticed a booth with a man dressed as the Merchant from Resident Evil 4. Now everyone has heard about all those strange disappearances at conventions, but being the idiot that I sometimes am I paid no attention to it. So I put my hand on Evo's shoulder to stop him. When he did I pointed towards the booth.

"Hey Evo, how about we check that one out?" I asked. He nodded and we walked over to the table. Now there's something you should now, my friend...he's somewhat the quiet type. When we got over there I noticed a dogmeat puppy plushie. Now those are extremely hard to find, considering that no one knows what he looked like as a pup. While Evo went to pick up an Anti-materiel rifle. We were so interested in the props that we didn't notice that guy coming to us.

"Hello, Stangers. How may I be of service for you?" the man asked.

I continued to look at the merchandise as I talked with him. "Yes you can. Have you heard of the disappearances of cosplayers?" I asked which I saw him flinch.

"Yes, what of it!?" he hissed. Which I in turn looked at him.

"Wow dude, chill. Me and my friend here," I said gesturing to Evo "aren't going to anything about what you do. All we want is to go where all the other people went to." When I said this the merchant had a look of what I assumed was confusion under his mask.

"And why, pray tell, would you want to leave your home?" he asked.

I looked at him in shock before I said "Are you serious? Merchant have you looked at our planet? I mean it doesn't matter which version of our world you go to-"

"Would you shut you damn mouth about the fricken Multiverse theory shit." Evo said. Which I promptly turned to look at him and said to shut the hell up and it worked seeing as he went back and looking at then various weapons from the fallout series.

"As I was saying, have you seen that we are killing ourselves with pollution. Plus I also want to go somewhere and have adventure." I finished.

"Well I can see where you coming from, and you are not wrong about your species slowly killing themselves. Okay enough of this talk let get to business. I can see you that you were interested in the dogmeat pup plushie and your friend seemed into the Anti-materiel rifle. What else would you be interested in?" the Merchant asked. When he asked this I was really shocked. All the stories said that they only bought one thing. But what they didn't have was over three thousand dollars on them. So I continued to look around his products and I noticed he had Gauss rifle, YCS/186, Mini gun, Shawn-off shotgun, Tesla cannon, Marksman carbine, a 25mm grenade APW and two .375 magnum revolver in his stock. So I picked each one up and brought them to the merchant along with the dogmeat pup plushie.

"Awe nice choices, very nice." he said. Then Evo came up next to me with a .44 magnum revolver, two .22 silenced pistols, an Automatic rifle, Assault carbine, an Light Machine gun, Christine's CoS silencer rifle, a Marksman carbine, All-American, two Sleepytyme, a riot shotgun, the CZ57 Avenger and a Missile launcher. Me and the merchant just looked at him as if he was crazy, well more of me them him but still.

"Evo seriously? That many?" I asked.

"Well its better to be prepared than sorry." he responded. He then turned and faced the merchant, while I was still glaring at him. "So how much would this cost us?" he asked.

"....How about eight hundred ninety-seven dollars." the merchant said. I thought about it for a couple of seconds before nodding my head.

"That sounds reasonable, but how are we going to carry all of these weapons?" I asked aloud.

"How about a satchel bag with a relative pocket dimension in it for you each?" he offered.

"That sounds awesome, but won't it cost more?"

"No it will be free of charge. Mainly because you are the only customers to figure me out. Congrats." he said as he applauded us. "So seeing as you are the first, you will be able to chose what time period you show up." I soon turned to Evo and we discussed what time period we'd chose and we decided to tell the merchant in the form of a riddle. So we both faced him before I spoke.

"How about sending us to when we are most needed. But wait..." I said as me and Evo started to put our weapons in our satchel bags. When we finished we weren't carrying any of them, well except me. I had my revolver in my holsters on either side of my waist, but I had the plushie on my right shoulder. "Oh before we go, can we have a magical power? I know the characters didn't but I think this would be an awesome power." I asked as I swiftly turned around back towards the merchant.

"Of course, what would it be?" he asked.

"Could we have the ability to summon anything that comes to mind?" I asked.

"Of course. All you have to do is snap you fingers and what you imagined will appear." he said.

"Awesome! But i'd feel bad for having that extra. So here." I said as I handed him the rest of my money,which was two thousand, six hundred and three dollars. When I did that he told me that the power was an gift, but I persuaded him to take the money. After I gave it to him he put four hundred thousand bottle caps in my satchel bag and told me that was what I would need to use as money there. So We turned back around and started walking again.

"Avarice." he said as we started to walk out the booth only to stop and look at him in confusion. "My name, Avarice." he said again and we nodded.

"I'm Wade." I said.

"Evan" he said in a low tone. Yea he's somewhat a shy person when it comes to meeting new people. So with that done we turned around and resumed our trek out the booth. When we were finally out we disappeared in a flash of white.

"Those boys were the most interesting customers i've ever had.....oh well." Avarice said as he had his booth disappear in a flash and left the convention.


When I opened my eyes I noticed that I was falling from the sky, so I turned over and looked down. Below me was an stone castle, it took me a few minutes to realize that was the Castle of the Two Pony Sisters. I also noted that it was still intact, 'So that means that they still live there, and there is no damage what-so-ever so that means that Nightmare Moon hasn't hap-' my thoughts were interrupted by a whimper. When I looked to my stomach, where the whimper was coming from, and there was a puppy there. 'That must be dogmeat.' I thought. I proceeded to find Evo and noticed a couple of yards above me. I then looked below me and notice a tower coming fast. So I did what I had to do, I protected dogmeat by curling up to act as a shield.


Luna had just finished taking a bath and was walking out of the bathroom in her private quarters. She walked over to her dresser and started picking out something to wear. After about five minutes she picked out her afternoon attire, which consisted of a black bra and panties and also a thin night gown. She then laid the clothes on the bed and started to put her bra on when something came crashing through her roof right where the door goes to the balcony. This sudden event caused her to rip her favorite bra. When she went to go and yell at the pony who was foolish enough to do this she gasped. Lying in front of her was a hairless ape in an old brown duster, black pants and boots, and a brown stetson. The ape had a dark brown mane and he looked around Luna's age, or what she appeared to be. After a while of looking the creature over a whimper brought her out of thought.

She rolled the creature over on it's back and when she did she gasped again. Lying there on the creatures stomach was a puppy. One that the princess of the night had never seen. She noticed that the pup had a broken paw. She then picked the pup up and started to cradle it in her arms. Not a moment later the creature started coughing, when it stopped it stared at her with almost glazed green eyes. She then saw that it had blood going from its forehead down the side of its face.

"P-plea-please h-help." it said before coughing up blood and passing out. Not too long after the creature passed out there was a splash that came from the garden. This shocked her but she was knocked out of her stupor by one of her guards barging through the door.

"Your highness there were two creatures that fell out the....sky..." he said as he noticed that he was looking at the other creature and a nude lunar princess. His muzzle was painted a new shade of red before he shut the door and went back to check on the other creature as it was being retrieved from the pond in the royal garden. Luna, now with her own bush, looked down at the creature before her and then called her personal guard. The stallion stationed outside the door cracked the door open, hoping to not be on the same end as the rookie that came in earlier.

"Yes you highness?" he asked.

"Bring this creature to the medical hall this instant." Luna said. The guard came in with a few others as Luna wrapped herself in her bed sheets. She watched as her guards took the creature away to be medically treated. So with that she then started to put a new bra on. Then her panties, and then a navy blue dress that complimented her form. When that was done she walked towards the medical hall.

When the lunar princess arrived at the medical hall she noticed another creature, one with armor on, as she walked in. She watched as they set it down on the bed next to the other one. A few minutes later her sister walked in the room, along with Star swirl the Bearded and Clover the clever. She watched as the two went over to the creatures and Celestia walked over and stood next to luna.

"Hey Lulu." Celestia said.

"Yes Tia?" Luna asked.

"Word has it that the creature with no armor saw you naked. Is that true?" Celestia asked which promptly elected a blush form Luna.

"So what?" Luna said a little too fast as she crossed her arms under her breasts and turned her head sideways.

"Oh its nothing." Celestia said as she walked out the room to attend her royal duties. When she left, Luna sat down and watched as the medical staff worked on the two creatures wile the two mages were studying them. All of a sudden the one with no armor on started to grunt in pain and there were a few audible and sickening cracks coming from it. When the sound stopped the doctors scanned the creature and said that it had mended itself of its broken bones, which is quiet shocking seeing how it had crashed through six feet of stone wall. After a little more examining the doctors figured out the the creature with no armor was male, which caused all the mares in the room to blush. As they found that out they rest of the guards had figured out how to remove the armor from the other creature. They could tell by the it's features that it also was male, seeing how they didnt want to have to go through the same experience as the other one. Later on the creature that came crashing into Luna's room awoke and sat up. When he did, all eyes in the room were focused on him.


When I woke up I noticed that I was in a hospital room surrounded by anthropomorphic ponies that were all staring at me. After a few seconds of awkward silence a deep blue furred mare cleared her throat. I turned my attention towards her right before she spoke.

"Greeting creature my name is Princess Luna of the night, and may I ask you a question?" she asked. Which made me chuckle.

"You just did." I responded as I swung my legs over the side of the bed.

"Well then how about a few?"

"Ok shoot."

"Okay, what are you?"

"I am what is known as a Human, or Homo sapiens if you want to get all sciencey." I said as I did the jazz hands beside my head.

"Why did you crash into my personal cambers when I was nude?"

I looked at her with a shocked expression on my face. "I did what?"

"I said that you crashed into my room, through six foot of wall no less, and landed on my floor while I was trying to get dressed."

"Okay that's weird." I said still somewhat confused.

"And how so is it confusing?" Luna asked.

"Ohh nothing, just right before I blacked out again I remember seeing an angle right in front of me and I asked it for help." I said.

"Well for your information that was me you were staring at before you passed out. And do you mean it by that I looked like an angle?" she asked with a noticeable blush.

"Of course you do." I sincerely said.

"Thank you. Nopony has ever complemented me on my beauty before."

"Your joking right? You'd have to be blind not to notice the way you shine." I said, with a little anger rising because of how no one has noticed her beauty.

"Oh no. Ponies have always said I was beautiful before. They only do that to get power or have a high status." Luna said with a sad expression.

"Luna I may have just meet you," I started and then putting the backside of my hand against her cheek, "but if all those ponies only try to complement you to get what they want then they are missing out on the true beauty that you hold." I finished. When I looked at her I noticed that she was crying tears of happiness, because I know what she has been going through. A few seconds later and she lunged at me and wrapped her arms around my neck and started crying even more. When she did that I had to hug her waist to prevent us from falling on the floor.

"Thank you so much. You don't know how much that means to me." she said as she continued to sob into my chest. Our little touching moment was broken when everyone in the room 'dawwed' at the little show we put on. When they did that, we both separated and she went to go and sit back in the chair next to my bed. After a few more awkward minutes Evo woke up. I then got out of bed and rush to him.

"Dude, you alright?" I asked concerned for my best friend.

"Yea I'm alright." he said as he clutched his head. So I had a talk with him and told him that we were in Equestria and at the castle with the two princesses, which was way before the main six were born. Also I was explaining all the tid-bits of what happened with me. When I was finished explaining there was scratching at the door. I got up and opened the door and there stood dogmeat. I promptly picked him up and brought him in the after thanking the vet that healed him. Turns out they healed his broken paw in a matter of minutes. So when I sat down I was assaulted by dogmeat for a minute or so. When he was done Luna asked me why I named him dog meat. So I told here that I wanted to call him Quasar but he would only answer when I called him dogmeat and nothing else. So the three of us sat there for a few hours talking about our daily lives and such, when Luna asks us if we will be her friend.

"Sure Luna we will be your friends." Evo said as I nodded in agreement and then we all joined in on a group hug. Which got an adorable bark from dogmeat. Luna bent down to him and picked him up and asked if he wanted to be her friend too. That got the pup to bark in agreement and his tail to shake faster. After a while Luna told us that she had to go and attend night court, even though nopony goes, and she told us that we aren't allowed to leave this room until tomorrow afternoon. Bu before she left, she asked us for our names and I said Ethan Smith while Evo just said the Courier.As soon as she left the room I turned my head to Evo with a deadly serious expression on my face.

"Evan, we need to prepare for whats to come." I said with a stern tone and he nodded in agreement.
