Green's Adventures: Equestria
Chapter 5: 5. Discord Meets Green
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAs I was speeding through time, I noticed something rather strange. This time portal seemed more distorted. I couldn't keep my thoughts, however, as I ended up on the other side of the time portal unconscious. (I seem to be getting knocked out all the time, don't I?)
I awoke to find myself in a garden. Not just any garden either, the Canterlot Castle Garden. How did I get here? I tried to remember. Let's see, I was about to return to the present with ponies and Spike, but then something strange happened. I was pulled into a different time, I believe. I was looking around when I spotted something peculiar; It was a pedestal with nothing on it. "Could that be where Discord's statue is supposed to be? And if so, why isn't he there?" I asked myself. That's when I heard a rather familiar voice.
"Talking to yourself, are you? And they say I'm crazy," it chuckled.
"Who are you?" I growled.
"Oh I think you know who I am," it said. "But do you know who you are?"
"Of course I know who I am!"
"Do you now?"
"Yes! I'm Green, the 'Multiverse Hero'!"
"Are you? Or is he the true hero?"
I was really getting irritated at this moment. "How many times do I have to tell you, Discord?"
"Ah, so you do know who I am?" he jeered. Discord was invisible during our conversation, but he finally decided to show himself now. "Nice to meet you. I am Discord, bringer of Disharmony at your service. But you probably already knew that, didn't you?"
I was taken aback a little by his appearance. A draconequus looks weirder in real life. "I kinda did. Now then, how's about you get back into your statue, before I make you?"
"My, aren't we the rash one?" he snorted.
"No, I'd say Rainbow Dash is," I said.
"So you've met the ponies, then? I'm presuming you know Princess Celestia and what she did to me as well."
"Yep, heard about it. I wish I could've witnessed it though...Anyways, did you bring me here?"
"You mean the time portal? Why yes of course!" he told me. I was a little shocked. How did he know how to mess with the time portal? How does he know who I am? "I see you're surprised. Look, there are more than just the Gods who watch over the Multiverse, as you know. There are also evil gods who want to take over the Multiverse. I am not one of those gods, I simply want to have a little fun."
"Then how do you know about them?" I asked shakily. No one told me there were evil gods! Although, I did have a thought that maybe some existed...
"One of them freed me just now, before you came of course. He told me everything; who you were, what you were doing, everything. He offered me a deal. If I managed to stop you and take over this planet, then I could become one of them. Naturally, I declined. I don't need anyone telling me what to do. But the very thought of more than just Equestria? I knew that there were more planets, but an entire Multiverse? I figured, I'd stop you, take over this planet, then move onto the next once I've had my fun." Why on Earth, would Discord tell me his plan? I thought he'd say it in a riddle, or something.
"That's not gonna happen," I responded.
"And why is that?" he teased.
"Because you just told me your plan," I replied, thinking I had the upper hand.
"That's because I know you can't stop me," he snickered. "Do you really think those ponies are your friends?"
"What? Of course they are!"
"Are they? Do you think they'd accept you for who you are? Actually, do they even know who you truly are?" I think his words were finally getting to me. I was actually starting to agree with him.
"They don't know who I am..." He smiled as I acknowledged that. "But that doesn't mean they'll stop being my friends when they do find out!"
"Oh really?" Discord waved his hand and showed me an image. Well actually, a video, in midair. It showed me- the actual Earth me- with the mane six, Princesses, and Spike looking at me disgusted. They said some words like, ugly, disgusting, etc. Then they left, leaving me all alone in the Everfree Forest. The video disappeared, and I kept my head down. "You see?" he coaxed. I nodded. "Green, join me! And together, we will rule the Multiverse!" (Using a line from Star Wars? Clever...) I agreed.
----
Meanwhile, back in Canterlot Castle....
"What are we doing, just sitting here? We have to help Green!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
"As much as I agree with you, Rainbow, we can't. Green is the only one who can teleport through time," replied Twilight.
"Or is he?" asked Rarity, looking at both Princesses.
"We could try, but there are so many variables, so many things that could go wrong," said Princess Celestia.
"You could end up in a different time, a different place. A completely different universe!" chimed in Princess Luna.
"We have to try," said Spike, determination in his eyes. "He would help us if we were in trouble."
"Alright," affirmed both Princesses in unison. "First let's see where Green is. Or rather, as he put it, when he is," said Princess Celestia. Her horn started glowing, and another video appeared (this time in magic) showing where I was.
"Discord!" everyone gasped. They saw how he convinced me to join him, but now, he was simply talking to me, showing me all the chaos he could actually cause. After a while, he noticed a portal behind me. He looked straight at it, and saw all the mares plus Spike looking at us. He smiled and shot a beam at it. The video flickered, then vanished.
"That's it, we have to help 'im!" declared Applejack.
Everypony nodded. Both Princess' horns started glowing and a portal through time appeared. "Now, when you step into the portal, you're going to take the forms of your past selves," said Celestia. "It's the only form of time-travel that we can cast."
"Wait, Princess, you're not coming with us?" asked Twilight.
"No, somepony needs to stay here to re-open the portal!" reasoned Princess Luna. The mares and Spike looked uneasy, but they quickly went into the portal. "Do you think they'll be alright, sister?"
"I hope so, Luna. I hope so..."
----
"Are you sure this is gonna work?" I asked Discord.
"Just wait and see," he reassured. We were working on a plan to lure in the present ponies after he found the portal behind me. He knew they would try to come and get me. Boy was he right. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Spike ran towards the garden labyrinth, where we were waiting for them.
"Green!" shouted Twilight.
"Ah-ah-ah! In order to get your 'friend' back, you're all going to have to play my little game again," ordered Discord.
"We ain't fallin' for yer tricks again!" yelled Applejack.
"Yeah, you cheated last time!" added Rainbow Dash.
"And you made me carry a boulder!" emphasized Rarity.
"You made me think everypony was laughing at me!" screamed Pinkie Pie.
"And you made me be mean to my friends!" scolded Fluttershy.
"You turned us all against each other! We're not playing any more of your games, Discord. We have the Elements of Harmony this time!" contended Twilight.
"Ha ha ha, those things won't work without Green, now! Did you forget, he made a new Element! What was it again? The Element of Perseverance? He doesn't seem so persistent. Why look, he gave up on your friendship!" cackled Discord.
"Well you obviously did something to him, otherwise, he wouldn't be so gray!" piped Spike.
"You're not playing fair again!" yelled Twilight.
"I'm not playing fair? Perhaps we haven't met. I'm Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony. Hello?" Discord chuckled.
"Ugh," exclaimed everyone. I looked at everyone. Their faces were full of worry. Worry, for me? I thought. I continued to think, They came back for me... That's when it hit me. They are my true friends.
"I dunno Discord, they did come back for me," I told Discord.
"Yes Green! We're your friends. I don't know what Discord told you, but don't listen to him!" reassured Twilight. Don't worry, guys. I've got a plan, I told them telepathically. They were a bit startled at that (okay, so they were seriously surprised), but I assured them that it was because of an Empathy-Trust link that I'd learnt from a friend. Whenever there is someone and we trust each other, we can speak telepathically. Anyways, they nodded.
"You really think they came back for you? I assure you, they came back to stop me!" Discord disagreed.
"No, I think they may like me for who I am," I said to him, almost yelling. My color was starting to return.
"Oh really?" Discord contended. He did what was perhaps the worst thing that could've happened to me. He put his hand on my head and split Green and I. I was literally shot out of Green's body and straight toward Spike, too. I crashed onto him, but thankfully, he landed on top of me, so I didn't squish him.
"Ugh, my head," I muttered. Spike got off me and took a few steps back. "Wha-What the?" I said, struggling to comprehend what just happened. I noticed I was me again. What I also noticed, were two things. One, Green was no longer in pony form, but instead in Celestrian form. And two, everypony was staring at me. "What?" I asked.
"Uh, who are you, exactly?" asked Applejack.
"What are you talking about?! I'm me, Green!" I replied loudly.
"No you're not! I am!" shouted Green.
"Huh? Wait, Discord...did you just...?" I stuttered.
"Yes, I split you from the true Hero of the Multiverse. Everypony knows who you truly are now. So if you'll excuse me- I mean us- We must get going. Have to wreak havoc on the town. Ta-ta!" answered Discord. And with that, Green and Discord disappeared in a flash of light. I stood there- staring at where they used to be- thinking about what just happened, but more importantly, what would happen to me right now. I was too scared to turn and face everyone. In fact, I was thinking of just running away from them...until I felt a hoof on my shoulder.
"Green? Are you ok?" asked Twilight.
"..."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine," assured Fluttershy.
"...I...I'm not Green anymore...My actual name is...Kevin..." I finally responded. Everypony looked at each other, unsure of how to answer. "Look, I don't show many people my true form; I'm too afraid of...rejection. Hence why I came up- er- choose to be Green. He's more versatile and likeable..." They looked at me with sad faces, but they understood how I felt.
"You don't need to feel like that," said Twilight, in what seemed like a motherly tone.
"Yeah, we're here fer ya," added Applejack. After everypony reassured me that I had nothing to fear, we group-hugged.
"Right, then! We need to get Green back! He has the watch, so I can't do much. But with our combined efforts, I'm sure we'll overcome any and all obstacles!" I exclaimed. We galloped/ran to Ponyville, figuring that that's where Discord would be causing the most chaos. Boy, were we right. The town looked, well, different would be an understatement. It certainly looked like the ‘chaos capital of the world’. I noticed the time of day was changing rapidly, too. Then, we reached the soap roads.
"Wo-oah! This i-is slippery!" bubbled Pinkie Pie.
"Yeah, it sure is," I replied. If I had been Green, his all-terrain shoes would of let me walk on this with no problem at all. But if there's one thing I remember about slippery surfaces, is that friction lessened. So I tried to lift my feet without causing too much friction, and it worked for a while, though I did occasionally slip and fall on my face. Discord slid by us as if he were ice skating.
"Where's Green?" asked an irritated Twilight.
"He's off causing trouble as well," smirked Discord.
"Grr, ruining his image...clever, but we will stop you," I growled.
"Oh, please. You and what watch?" jeered Discord. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. "I thought so," he said, and soap-skated off.
"Don't worry, we'll get Green back," assured Fluttershy.
"I know we will," I nodded.
"We should try and find the Elements of Harmony. Last time they were in the Library," said Twilight.
"I don't think that'll work. Discord knows you're all from the future, so he may have hidden them somewhere else. Besides, didn't you hear him? He said they won't work without Green," I replied sadly.
"How many times do we have to tell you? You're Green!" yelled Rainbow Dash. I opened my mouth to protest, but we arrived at the Library.
"Let's see...Elements of Harmony, Elements of Harmony...here we go!" said Twilight, as she found the book she was looking for. She opened the book, but much to their surprise (not mine, I totally saw this coming) the Elements were not there. "But- but- they were here before!" stuttered Twilight.
"I told you, he learned from his mistake. He probably won't give them to you so easily this time," I told everypony.
Then out of nowhere, Discord appeared. "That's right!" he mocked. "In fact, why would I even want to give them to you? Do I want to be stopped?" He simply laughed, then as quickly as he appeared, he left.
"I've got it," I announced. Everypony turned to look at me. "We're gonna have to trick him."
"How?" asked Rarity.
"We could make him think that we lost and he won. We could even act the opposite of how we usually do, just to make it seem believable," suggested Twilight.
"I doubt that'll work. No, we need to think of something a bit less obvious than that. But I'm not getting any ideas. Maybe beat him at something he's good at?" I said.
"You mean changing reality?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"Yeah! That's it!" I exclaimed. "Wait, I can't do that now; I forgot I don't have my watch." I looked down at the ground, sad. "I'm sorry I failed you guys..."
"No you haven't!" urged Spike.
"Yeah, we can still do this!" agreed Rainbow Dash.
"We need ta' get Green back!" said Applejack.
"Right, we need a plan," I called. We huddled for some reason, even though it was rather pointless. "So maybe a distraction..." I started. We continued to talk things through until eventually...
"That's it, we've got a plan!" proclaimed Twilight.
"Now to set it in motion!" I added.
We went outside and saw all the chaos that was still going on. Cotton candy clouds that dropped chocolate rain, soap roads, floating buildings, and...what the hay? What are those things wearing ballerina dresses? And why are they dancing? Well, can't be stranger than the animals with really long legs. I searched around and eventually found Discord sitting on his throne. We trotted/walked over nonchalantly, and he noticed this.
"Why so calm? Can't you see all the chaos around?" asked Discord.
"Yeah, and I want to stop it," I told him.
"Why? Chaos is a wonderful, wonderful thing!" remarked Discord.
"No it ain't!" yelled Applejack. Yep, I agree. If only Discord knew true Chaos, Perfect Chaos, then he'd see how wrong he is.
"Or would he?" came a voice from above. We looked up to see Green hovering above, over Discord. Did he just hear my thoughts? "Yes I did." He then told me telepathically, I hope you have a plan. I can't take much more of this guy.
I looked at Green and smirked. Don't worry, I told him, we do. We need to you to beat him at his own game. Reality-bender against reality-warper.[i/] He looked at me like I was crazy, but agreed.
"Why so smug?" asked Discord. I nodded at Twilight.
"We came to make a deal. Let's play a game. Loser has to do what the winner decrees," I told him.
"Sure! I'd love to play your little game, but what is it?"
"How's about a game to see who can cause the best chaos?"
He thought for a second, then said, "None of you stand a chance."
"Not us, but Green does. You against Green; winner takes all."
"Are you kidding me? He's not even your friend anymore!"
"I wouldn't say that, Discord," replied Green. As soon as he said that, Discord was shocked.
"How--?"
"You can't mess with me. I've been through a lot to know what can mess with my mind, including other reality-warpers like you," said Green. "Now then, are we gonna do this or not?"
"Hm, clever, aren't you? Fine, I accept your challenge, but your all way in over your heads if you think anyone can beat me at my own game," proclaimed Discord. "First let's see if you can even beat my creations right now."
We looked at Green expectantly. What? You think I know everything? We can hope, can't we?
"Try changin' them clouds to somethin' else," said Applejack. Green nodded.
"Hmm, chocolate rain...How can you beat an internet meme?" I asked, to myself in particular.
"How's about chocolate clouds with raining cotton candy?" said Green, as he changed the clouds.
"Not bad," said Discord.
"Just warming up," responded Green. He cracked his hands and changed something else.
"Short animals with big heads?" said Discord, a little amazed. Green changed another thing. "Tap dancing instead of ballet? Well, that's not--" Discord was cut off by Green making mountains float instead of buildings. He also made trees float, and changed the pull of gravity so that it was different in varying areas. Ponies were floating upward, walking on walls, and some remained normal. "Grr," Discord was beginning to get irritated.
"I know," said Green, "Milk roads you can swim in, and chocolate chip cookie lands instead of grass." Discord got up at this.
"That's it! Time for me to step in!" shouted Discord. He made it so that whenever you walked, you hopped instead. He made bits grow on trees, plants grew in the air, doors were on the ground, and the buildings had faces. That last one was a bit freaky.
"Hmph," Green changed something we were unsure of. Our heads were replaced with each others' bodies. I was on Spike's, his on Pinkie's, Pinkie's on mine, Twilight on Fluttershy's, Fluttershy's on Rarity's, Rarity's on Rainbow Dash, and ironically, Rainbow Dash and Applejack switched with each other.
"What the hay?" exclaimed Rainbow Dash. Well I thought it was her, but their voices changed too. It was actually Applejack who said that, and the southern accent of hers was lost as well.
"Woah, I have fingers!" yelled Pinkie. "Wo-oah! I-it's hard to w-walk!" She fell on her face, and I couldn't stop laughing; her voice was really deep, like Flutterguy's. Then I remembered.
"Pinkie, be careful with my body!" I told her. "At least I kept my fingers, oh wait, these are Spike's. I feel shorter."
"Green, was this really necessary?" asked Twilight, in a hushed voice.
"Yes, necessary roughness. I mean, necessary if we want to win," replied Green. "How're you gonna follow up, Discord?"
"How's about this!" he shot out.
"Do he did what?" asked Rarity. Everypony was confused at this point.
"Answer your there's," I told them. We were speaking backwards. Well, not totally, just saying the words in the opposite order.
"What's your comeback?" mocked Discord.
"This," said Green.
"?tahw woN" said Twilight.
".niaga ,rewsna rouy s'erehT," I told them. We were really speaking backwards this time. "?su htiw gnissem pots uoy naC .esle gnihtemos ot hcitwS"
"Ok, fine," grumbled both Green and Discord. We were changed back to normal.
"Ah, back in my own body," said Rarity.
"You said it," I chuckled.
"So we're evenly matched, then?" reasoned Discord.
"I wouldn't say that," answered Green with a smug look on his face. Music started playing from a huge, loud boom box that came from nowhere.
"Oh no," I muttered, "Not this."
We're no strangers to love! You know the rules, and so do I! A full commitment's what I'm, thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy! I just want to tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you, understand!
"What- what is this?!" yelled Discord.
Green smiled and said, "It's called a rick roll. And you, Discord, have just been rick roll'd."
Never gonna give you up! Never gonna let you down! Never gonna run around and desert you! Never gonna make you cry! Never gonna say goodbye! Never gonna tell a lie, and hurt you!
"Make it stop, make it stop!" yelled Discord, covering his ears. Green made the boombox disappear, and approached Discord.
"Give up?"
"Yes, yes you win!" responded Discord. The Elements appeared on us, mine as a bracelet on my left hand (as I wear my watch on my right.) Green and Spike watched as we prepared the rainbow blast of harmony. We shot at Discord, and turned him back to stone.
"Aw, man," I said, "I'm beat."
"Yeah, me too," said Spike.
"You didn't do anything!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah, I should be the one who's tired! I had to change everything!" yelled Green.
"Well, at least we beat Discord," said Applejack.
"Using that horrid music," added Rarity.
"I honestly didn't think it was that bad," responded Fluttershy.
"Me, too," I said.
"Wow, did you see that? Green beat Discord at his own game! And you should of seen your face, Twilight! You looked so hilarious on Fluttershy's body. And did you see--" Pinkie was cut off by Twilight.
"So, care to make everything back to normal, Green?"
"With pleasure," he replied. Everything returned to it's normal state, and feeling like we were done here, we left. Back to the future.
----
"Where's Trixie?" I asked, back in my pony form.
"She stayed here, saying that it would be better so she wouldn't get in the way," answered Twilight.
"But she left," added Rarity.
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna came to us, after closing the portal. "You've done an excellent job, my little ponies. And my little human," said Celestia. She winked at me at the last part.
"Yes, Discord shall remain in his statue, now," said Luna. "As for Trixie, she left a note." I was handed a note by one of the guards. One of Celestia's guards, to be specific. I read it out loud:
Dear Green, Twilight, and everypony else,
I'm sorry I had to leave like this, without telling anypony, but I had to. It was for the best. I wanted to thank all of you, for giving me a second chance. Especially you Green, you showed me that if you really want something, you have to fight for it. That includes friendship. Now I know, friendship is magic. I'm off traveling, in search of myself, so to speak. I want to become truly the 'Great and Powerful, Trixie'.
Your dear friend,
Trixie.
I continued to look at the note, then I looked at everypony. "I guess she really did change, then," I told them. Everypony looked sad, but then Pinkie broke the silence.
"Hey, why is everypony so glum? We should be happy! In fact, we should throw a 'Green-not-only-just-saved-us-from-staying-in-the-past-forever-but-also-made-some-friends-and-helped-changed-Trixie-for-the-better' party!" We laughed and agreed.
"Okay, Pinkie, you go do that. Go on, I'll catch up with you later," I told the mane 6 and Spike. "I need to speak with the Princesses." They nodded and Twilight teleported all of the to her Library with Pinkie leaving an echo of 'This is gonna be so much fun!'
"What do you need to talk to us about?" asked Celestia.
"I...affected the story waaaay to much," I told her.
"What do you mean?" asked Luna.
"I mean, Trixie was supposed to stay haughty, and I shouldn't have sent all of you through time in the first place. Something bad's bound to happen."
"Don't worry Green, nothing bad's going to happen. What's past is past. Besides, you being here already affects the timeline, doesn't it?" replied Celestia.
"But--"
"Trust us, Green, when we tell you that you did nothing wrong. We're Goddesses," Luna interjected.
"Right, keep forgeting that...But Discord said something. Something about an 'evil' god coming to him. It told him to join the other evil gods trying to take over the Multiverse. Discord told me he denied, simply because he wanted to rule everything in his own way with no one telling him what to do, but I'm not sure." Both Princesses looked at me with a hint of shock.
"Really?" asked Luna. I nodded.
"That is what the prophecy foretold. 'The Hero of the Multiverse shall stop the rising evil darkness; His friends and a Seventh Element will find him eventually, for together is the only way to harness, the righteous power of harmony.' This is our version of the prophecy received by the other Gods. Their's may differ slightly or vastly, but I know that it includes the first line and 'his friends will find him eventually'," explained Celestia.
"Yes, the 'rising evil darkness' is the evil gods trying to take over the Multiverse. You may come in contact with these evil gods, but we do not know when. But if one does manage to cross your path when you are with your friends, you must protect them with your life. You may be immortal, but they are not, and the only way to defeat this evil, is through your friends," added Luna.
"They do not know this yet," said Celestia.
"Who? My friends, or the evil gods?" I asked.
"Both. And it is better that it stays that way. If Twilight and/or her friends found out that they were so important, it may cause the evil gods to notice, and attack them," replied Celestia. I couldn't believe this. My newly made friends are in danger...because of me. Of course.
"They are not in danger because of you," beamed Celestia.
"Okay, that is getting a little weird. How come everyone's able to hear my thoughts?" I said, jokingly. We laughed a little, but then I added, "No, seriously."
Celestia looked at me and said, "I thought you knew. The trust-empathy link?" I face-hoofed myself. How come I keep forgetting? "Anyways you'll cross that bridge when you get to it. You'll be ready when the time comes. But for now, we should get going on to Pinkie's party. You wouldn't want to disappoint her, would you?" I shuddered at the thought of Pinkie Pie being sad. Scary.
----
"And that's how Green saved everypony!" announced Pinkie Pie. Everypony cheered and stamped their hooves. The party took place in the middle of town. Streamers were everywhere, banners saying "GREEN!", and a lot of ponies attended. Both Princesses were their, obviously the mane 6 and Spike, then I noticed some recognizable background ponies. Derpy Hooves, Lyra, Dr. Hooves, Vinyl Scratch, Bon-bon, etc.
We were standing on top of a wooden rectangular prism of some sort. I looked to my left and saw everypony smiling at me. I can't believe that I'm getting these ponies involved into something this bad, I thought. They came over and hugged me all of a sudden. I hugged them back. We eventually broke the group hug and Twilight opened her mouth to say something, but Pinkie Pie interrupted.
"Isn't this exciting? *Gasp* are you excited cause I'm excited I've never been so excited, well, except for the time that I went *gasp* but I mean really--" Pinkie babbled on.
Twilight simply ignored her and spoke to me, "So, Green, enjoying the party?"
"Yeah, the cake is great!" I said, suddenly with a mouthful of cake.
"Oh my, aren't you hungry?" remarked Rarity, with slight tone of disgust.
"Yeah," I said, swallowing some cake. "I haven't had much to eat for the entire time!"
"Didn'tcha eat all that apple pie?" asked Applejack.
"Uh, what can I say? I'm a big eater. Love food, can't get enough of it," I replied.
"Oh my gosh, me too!" exclaimed Pinkie. "We should totally have an eating contest!"
I smiled at Pinkie, "You're on!"
"Wait, right now?" asked Spike.
"You can't be serious," added Rainbow Dash.
We ignored them and trotted over to the food table. It was covered with baked goods. Cakes, cookies, pies, cheesecakes, sweet-topped buns, etc. all as far as the eye can see. Not for long, I thought. I looked over at Pinkie who was already stuffing her mouth with food. "Hey, no fair! You started before me!"
"Woll, tulkin uhbout it isnt gonnuh help!" babbled Pinke with mouthful of food. She was right. I dug in. I began to eat slowly, but started to increase my speed with each bite. I then started to suck up the food, much like Kirby. I was eating everything, including the table. I stopped when Pinkie Pie ended up inside my mouth.
"Petuee!" I spat out Pinkie. "They said you tasted like candy! Boy are they wrong..."
"First off, who are 'they'? Second, why did you try to eat me?" asked Pinkie.
"Uh, nopony in particular! And uh, I couldn't stop eating. Literally. Sorry about that," I told her, my cheeks red from the embarrassment. The rest of the gang came over to see how we were doing. "Ugh, I don't *blech* feel so good...My stomach..."
"You better not throw up on us," warned Rarity.
"Ugh, no promises," I smirked, my face turning greener than usual. I galloped over to a trash can and...you know. "Well, I guess Pinkie wins," I said, coming back. We went to join everypony else and danced to the music. I suggested a few tracks (none of which they knew) so I tried to remember a familiar tune and teleported a track for Vinyl to play.
"Here, put this on," I told Vinyl.
"Sure thing!" she replied, as she magically levitated the record onto the DJ deck. The song started to play and everypony stopped what they were doing. They obviously never heard this before. Vinyl, on the other hand, was bobbing her head forward and back to the music.
I got up to the wooden deck and yelled, "Follow along!" I began to dance, trying to synch myself to the music. Soon everypony followed suit. Then the lyrics were coming to a familiar halt. I then shouted, "Everyday I'm Shuffling!" To my surprise, it's easier to shuffle on four legs. I mean, I tried to shuffle on two feet, but I'm just not good at it. Everypony looked at me in awe, seeing me slide around the wooden deck with ease. They then tried their hoof at it, and pretty soon, the scene started to look a lot the music video of this song. We continued to dance into the night, and eventually everpony left to their houses. Everypony except Luna and I.
"Why haven't you left yet?" I asked.
"I should be asking you the same thing, Green," replied Luna smugly.
"Well, the truth is, I have no place to stay..."
"Can't you simply teleport yourself back home, to your own planet?"
I was shocked when she said that. "Don't you want me here? I see how it is..." I turned to leave, then I remembered that I was summoned here. I can't exactly leave until the 'task' is done.
"I didn't mean it that way, Green."
"Well I can't leave anyways. I was summoned here."
"Oh right...We'll fix that in the morning. For now, care to come sleep with us at the castle?"
"Uh, sure, I guess. Don't worry, I won't stay there every night. I'm gonna build my house here tomorrow, if you don't mind of course."
"Alright, then. Let us go." She called her chariot, and we left toward the castle. The trip was surprisingly short, and it felt great having the night breeze flow through my mane. We arrived and the night guards let us in. Luna led the way, seeing as how I still wasn't familiar with the layout of the castle. We came to her room, and I stopped to think.
"So where am I sleeping?" I asked her, finally feeling drowsy.
Luna giggled and said, "With me, silly. Where do you think you woke up this morning?" I struggled to remember, as it was hard to believe this all happened in one day. Luna giggled once more, then led us in. Her bed was dark blue or it just seems that way because it was nighttime. The room pretty much looked a lot like Celestia's. Same tastes, I thought. I looked and saw that there was only one bed.
"You knew I liked sleeping on the floor, didn't you?" I asked her.
She apparently thought I was being sarcastic. "Oh, you still don't know? It is a king-sized bed. Or should I say Princess-sized?"
"You can't be serious? Me sleeping with you?" I regretted saying that, as she took some offense to it, by the look on her face. "I mean, you're a Princess! Why would you sleep with me?"
She giggled yet again, and I felt relieved that she didn't just hate my guts right now. "Don't worry, you're fine. Besides, it's just one night. Who cares what other ponies think. Now then, climb in while I take my stuff off," Luna told me.
*Gulp* Sleeping with a princess? IN THE NUDE?! I think she heard my thoughts, as she continued to giggle as she took her crown and chest-wear off.
She then climbed into bed left to me. "That's all you needed to take off? Not much of a difference," I told her.
"Why don't you take your vest off?" she asked me.
"Uh, ok. I mean, it DOES have some of my power, but that shouldn't matter, right?" I told her in a sarcastic voice.
She sighed and said, "Suit yourself."
"I think you mean, 'unsuit yourself'," I responded, while taking my vest and sunglasses off. I left them on a bedside desk. I turned over and saw Luna staring at me. "What?"
"Your eyes..."
"Hmm?"
"It's just, you're always wearing those sunglasses. Nopony ever gets to see how your eyes look like."
I blushed a little. "Is that a compliment?" We giggled (no wait, she giggled, I chuckled. More manly,) at that. You know, she looks beautiful, and if I wasn't forbidden to...I shook the thoughts off my mind. She kept staring into my eyes and smiled. I smiled back, and she closed her eyes. She slowly went to sleep, but I remained awake, as usual, I thought. I turned onto my back and just lay there, pondering about today. Man, today sure was fun, but challenging all the same. Just how an adventure ought to be. I wonder how tomorrow will be? I finally drifted to sleep, thinking about what the following day would bring.
And so, day one of Green's Adventures in Equestria ended. The adventure's only just begun... Next Chapter: 6. Starting Life in Ponyville Estimated time remaining: 31 Minutes
