Brutaka's Holiday Prank: Ch1

I was lying down on the couch like every year, it’s a tradition I have, every year I sleep on the couch next to the tree. Aside from that there wasn’t going to be anything traditional about this christmas eve. As I tucked myself in the blankets I noticed the fire place had an odd purple glow. When I looked closer the lights started swirling until I was looking at a portal in my fireplace. After twelve seconds a gold metallic face reared itself from the dimensional gap in my living room. “Here’s Brutie!” I tumbled around in my blankets for a second before I came to my senses. Then he started climbing out I eventually realized that standing before me was the ever mischievous, bio-mechanical warrior Brutaka himself, he was wearing a santa hat and had a large sack flung over his shoulder. “how???”
“Oh come now, you of all people should know exactly ‘how’.” He chuckled and taped his mask. “Dimensional gates can breach many barriers, including the wall between my reality and yours.” He dropped his bag on the ground. “Ho! ho! ho! I’m here to give you a christmas surprise, but first let’s have a look at the decorations. Hmm yes you have a tree like every year. Oh right your mom got new ornaments this year, your aunt made them herself didn’t she? That was sweet. Pine branches on the porch? Yes very festive. And a fireplace in the corner of course, though I guess it was there already.” I wondered how he was able to fit in the living room, he must have been able to shrink himself down to be slightly taller than my dad using his portals, though he was still big enough to fling me through a wall. I thought if he could do that with his portals, what else could he do? Well... we’re about to find out. He grabbed me by my shirt collar. “Now for the christmas surprise. I’ll be sure to send you your new shoes tomorrow, horse shoes that is...” He carried me over to his sack. “Wait what are you doing!?” I struggled and kicked but he was too strong. “Say hello to your new friends for me!” And with that he stuffed me in the bag. I knew he had a portal in his bag because the fabric of the bag disappeared and changed to a strange purple star system. I began to fall and fall. For my first time traveling through a wormhole it wasn’t to bad, at first I felt a little sick but after five seconds it went away. As I had started to get bored I noticed a light approaching me quickly. I thought it must’ve been the other end of the portal it started getting brighter and closer and the next thing I knew I was twelve feet above a muddy and snowy garden. “Gaaah!!!!!” I yelped as I fell face first in the mud. “Oh goodness! Are you alright?” I heard a soft voice from above me. As I opened my eyes I saw a small rabbit sitting in front of me. “Did you just talk?”
“Oh no silly. Everpony knows bunnies can’t speak.” I looked up and saw a yellow pony with wings, a pink mane and tail, and the image of three butterflies on her thighs. “You’re............... pony...................... Fluttersh-............... flying???”
“Of course I’m flying. I’m a pegasus just like you.”
“Wait what did you just say?...” I looked down and saw in the place of my hands were two green hooves. I turned my head and saw I had wings, green fur, and a tail. I sat there stunned for a few seconds and then she floated down to me. “I’m fluttershy, what’s your name?”
“I’m not sure.”
“You mean you forgot your name? You must have fallen hard.”
“No I can remember what my name was but I’m just not sure anymore.” She had a curious look on her face. “Maybe Twilight can help you.”
“I hope she can.” I got up and tried to walk, at first it was a little hard to adjust to being a pony. On my first attempt I fell face-first into the snow. “Are you sure you’re ok?” I nodded. “I’m just not from around here.” She raised an eyebrow at me. Soon enough I had learned how to walk with two left feet but couldn’t quite work my wings yet. So we had to walk all the way to the library. “So where exactly are you from?” She asked. “Canada.”
“That’s an odd way of saying Canterlot.”
“No I mean Canada. I’m from a whole other world. And I’m not supposed to be a pony” I said looking at my right hoof. “It’s too bad you won’t be able to spend hearth’s warming eve at home.”
“Huh? Oh right back home we call it Christmas, and we celebrate it for a different reason.” She was about to respond but was interrupted. “Hey Fluttershy! Who’s your friend? How many ways does he know how to babysit an alligator?” Fluttershy (without realizing who it was) yelped and jumped behind the nearest bush shaking with fear. “Heh. Hello Pinkie.” I said. “Wait how do you know my name?” She let out a loud and sudden gasp. “Unless we were already super duper friends and I’ve forgotten you!” I chuckled. “Don’t worry Pinkie Pie we’ve never met. I’m a brony.” She gasped even more loudly. “What are you doing in Ponyville?”
“I don’t know. That’s why we’re going to Twilight.” She looked at my side curiously. “You’ve got a blank flank?!” I looked at my hind leg where she was pointing. “Oh yeah. No cutie mark. I’ve never really thought about what my ‘special talent’ is.” I looked over and noticed Fluttershy was still shaking and oblivious that it was just Pinkie and not some monster. “Hey silly filly it’s just me.”
“Yaaah! Oh it’s you pinkie. Don’t sneak up on me like that... um if it’s ok with you.” She said timidly.
We were approaching the ponyville library when we saw a small purple dragon with green spikes coming to greet us. “Oh hey there. Who’s this? another new arrival?”
“Um another?” Muttered Fluttershy. “Yeah it seems a bunch of ponies have been popping up out of nowhere today.”
“More Bronies?” I whispered to myself. “Hmm what was that?” asked Spike “Oh nothing. We need to see Twilight about this whole thing.” The little dragon saluted and ran over to the door and knocked. “Spike!! you know I’m busy dealing with some kind of crisis right now!” Came a voice from inside. “But Twilight it’s about the sudden arrivals, I’ve got another one here.” The door opened and out came a purple unicorn. “I’m sorry about the rude welcome but as you can probably tell I’ve got a lot on my mind right now... But if you come in maybe you could help me get to the bottom of this.” As I walked inside I saw the other three of the six: Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. And then next to them were a group of other ponies I recognized: Doodles, Cream Berry, Jon Bele, Shadow, Cirra, Loopy Penn and Justice. I trotted over to them. “Hey!” They seemed a little confused until the one I recognized as Cirra said, “Green Ember?”
“Yeah that’s me, I’m the one you know as Silent Phantom.” All the other pony-turned bronies nodded in realization. “No no no! why isn’t there anything here to explain this!” Twilight grunted as she flipped through five books at once using her magic. “Arrrhh!” In her frustration she flung the books against the wall. Spike had barely avoided being squished by one of the books, “Why don’t we just go ask Zecora?”
