The planet earth was a utopia for humans. Years passed and animals throughout the landscape began to disappear. One of these creatures was the simple pony, or horse to many of the natives. Ponies were considered nothing but a means of transportation. Needless to say once the future came, and advancements in technology progressed, ponies became an endangered species, therefore rare. One man by the name of Timothy Clark was one of the few owners of the ponies.

The animal was one of his most prized possession. He began to worry after three months of ownership. Once the sun would set and the city was engulfed in a shroud of darkness, the pony always started a ruckus. Clark constantly checked in on the pony, making sure it was as safe as possible. He didn’t want his prized possession to be up with the birds. During one night in particular, a Sunday, he was startled. The pony let out a monstrous yell, in what could have been considered English.

The startled man began to think he was going insane. The pony then let out a small string of barely audible words. Once it was made clear that he was not hallucinating, he attempted to speak with the pony. The animal spoke of a few things, one of which was a land called Equestria. The pony was then able to produce a horn from its forehead. The man was at such disbelief, that he began to wonder, “Was this a smart idea?”

Once the horn was fully extended the pony then proceeded to open a rift. The man was broken; he could not believe what he had just witnessed. He knew he would be sent to an asylum if he spoke of this occurrence. The pony said to him that her name was Silver Shield. She said if he wanted to he could come with her. The man thought that it was too late for introductions. He just leapt into the portal, hoping that it would lead to an early demise.

He had awoken from what he thought was a nightmare. Timothy Clark had just woken up. He stumbled to a nearby bathroom and washed his face. He thought that he was at a crazy party. He was surprised to feel that his facial structure had changed in one night. He then heard two loud sounds that reminded him of when his pony trotted around the acres of land he had purchased for her. With a quick glance at a mirror his worst fear was realized.

The “man” let out the loudest yell he had ever done in his lifetime of twenty-one years. The realization of what he had witnessed at the mirror was too much for him to handle for the moment. A grim silence was set in the area, nothing was heard, not even the small creatures that are out in the forest that surrounded the area he woke up in. It was at that moment when he saw his “prized possession” exit a small room. The gray mare, with a missing horn, a beautiful white mane, and deep pools of amber for eyes, asked him,

“Hey, whats with all the yellin? You woke me up.”

“Well I’m sorry, but I’m going through my mid-life crisis and speaking with a unicorn, wait what happened to your horn. Wait, WHY AM I HERE!”

The young mare responded, “Hey, it was temporary and what do you mean what happened. You jumped into the portal,” the gray mare then realized that he has a lot to learn if he is to live in this new are, “You need a new name.”

The “man” was perplexed at what the earth pony had said. What did she mean by "new name"; surly he was going to return to Earth where he literally belonged. The mare responded with a menacing glare. He soon realized that there was no going back.

“Why didn't you tell me I couldn't go back? I just want to go home.”

“If I could help you I would, but it’s too late for that... ‘Two Sides’.”

He thought he heard a jest exit the mouth of the mare. They both began to argue the meaning of what was said. Two Sides, Two Sides, Two Sides, this was his new name. She explained that ponies were nude most of the time but Timothy was less then happy to hear this. In less than five minutes silver was able to take off the now obsolete clothing and see his cutie mark. It was a wrench, for he was an engineer, and he was the best at his work place.

The path from the shack to Ponyville was a dangerous route. One filled with Manticores, Dragons, and even other barbaric Ponies. They had to gather supplies, making sure to steer clear of any visible danger. With this said, days were spent in just gathering food, and they still didn't have enough to make the trek. With all of this time spent they did not learn anything thing about each other. Instead of speaking, they communicated through a series of hoof signs and grunts.

One month had passed and their first attempt at reaching Ponyville went up in flames. They lost what little hope they had. Their supplies were plentiful, but the journey proved to be too tedious for any two ponies to accomplish. They decided to leave themselves in the shack in which they first appeared. The two “friends” began to complain and argue, passing the blame, to and fro as though it was tennis. The result of this game was point Silver.

“Why in Celestia’s name did I ever decide to bring you with me?”

“That isn't my fault. I thought jumping in that portal would kill me. Guess I thought wrong.”

The infuriated mare gave the “man” her most menacing glare. It ripped through the psyche of the “man” with such a force he fell to, what he would say, his knees. Shield did nothing but attempt to leave the pony behind, but this was never accomplished because of her own nature.

This was the person who fed her, bathed her, who did everything and anything for her. Now she doesn’t seem to care even if the “man” is in a broken state. The only thing she truly cared about was that she was a mare and that he was a stallion. Time passed, but the only thing that would truly never escape was her feelings. Shield thought that it was insane to think that she was in love with her former master. The two ponies lay, without hope or even a plan. this was the vicious cycle for 1 week.

Thinking about their predicament, Two Sides then asked, “Hey can’t you go through the forest yourself, I mean, I would just slow you down. You are the athletic one here.”

“NO!” yelled the frantic pony, attempting to hide the blush assaulting her face, “I won’t leave you because… um… who will save you if some animal just finds its way here.”

“I can reinforce the shelter," the stallion began to blush, "If one of us should make out of here it should be you, but if you can't find me after, just don't forget me.”

“I will not leave, this is my decision. You can’t or won’t change that.” The pony then made no attempt to hide her blush.

They both sat in silence, but this wasn’t solving anything. They were on the brink of darkness. It was then, that they saw the sign that Celestia had sent them. A Pegasus began to enter their field of view. From their view she had a yellow mane, a grey coat, a mail pack, and bubbles as her cutie mark. It was at that moment that Silver Shield finally agreed to his plan and followed the gray Pegasus.

Then it was up to Two Sides to hold the area which they would call “home.”
