"Of Fairies and Ponies II"

by K.C. Ellison

-Eight-

Meanwhile, high above the skies of Dimmsdale, is Anti-Fairy World. This realm is filled with thousands of blue-skinned and bat-winged beings. They are the titular "Anti-Fairies." Unlike the actual fairies, who use their magic to grant the wishes of miserable children, anti-fairies use their magic to cause misery and bad luck to everyone. At this moment, the head anti-fairy was going over plans to destroy Fairy World, when a small, cuboid anti-fairy came burst through the door.

"Father! Father!" cried the small anti-fairy.

"Foop! Can't you see I am busy?" shouted the leader, Anti-Cosmo.

"But father, you should see this!" said Foop.

Anti-Cosmo turned his attention to the computer screen in front of him which had the image of Timmy Turner on it.

"So what about my archenemy?" he asked his son.

"Not that; look at whom he's with!" insisted Foop. He zoomed out to show Timmy with seven females.

"Wait...Beatrix? But I thought she wanted nothing to do with Timothy?" said Anti-Cosmo.

Foop facepalmed. "Not HER! The OTHER females! Don't they look unusual to you, father?"

"Besides the weird hair colors? Not really." said Anti-Cosmo.

Just then, a third anti-fairy came in the room. It was Anti-Wanda, the wife of Anti-Cosmo.

"Hey! I know those girls!" she said.

"Really? How do know you know them?" asked Foop.

"Easy! Watch this!" said Anti-Wanda.

She then used the computer to display a video.

Big adventure!

Tons of fun!

A beautiful heart!

Faithful and strong!

Sharing kindness, it's an easy feat

and magic makes it all complete!

Yeah! My Little Pony!

Do you know you are my very best friend?

"Okay...what in the name of magic did I just saw?" asked Anti-Cosmo.

"Twilight Sparkle and her pony friends from Equestria! I knew I recognized them somewhere!" chuckled Anti-Wanda.

"I can't believe she watches that stupid show!" whispered Foop.

"What was that, honey?"Anti-Wanda said while holding a Derpy Hooves figure.

"Nothing, mother!" Poof replied quickly.

"Hmm, if I could capture Timothy's new friends, I could use their magical powers to take over Fairy World! For what better way to fight cute with cute!" chortled Anti-Cosmo.

Back on Earth, Timmy was talking to an old man while the rest of his friends were close by. After chatting with the old man, he went back to his friends.

"Well, what did he say?" asked Twilight.

"He said that he didn't know anything about the Elements of Harmony..." replied Timmy.

The ponies-turned-humans felt dejected that they were stuck in this dimension forever.

"...but he did say that there's a temple close by that had symbols just like them." he added.

"Awesome! Let's go!" shouted Rainbow Dash.

"Hold it, Rainbow Dash. The man also told me that you need a tablet to get into the temple. Luckily, he had the tablet on him." Timmy continued, holding up a grey tablet with a familiar sun emblem.

"Princess Celestia's cutie mark!" said Rarity.

"That's nice, but can we go now!" shouted Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah, we can go." said Trixie.

The gang had arrived inside the temple that the man told them about.

"I'm scared! What if there are temple guards lurking about?" cried Fluttershy.

"Don't worry, Fluttershy. You've got your friends here to keep you company!" said Timmy.

"Hey look, that door is glowing!" Pinkie Pie said as she pointed at a door with the same mark as the sun tablet.

"Pinkie Pie's right, you guys! Let's git-er-done!" said Applejack.

Timmy gave the key to Rainbow Dash just before the door opened.

The group mysteriously reappeared back in the streets of Dimmsdale.

"Huh? How did we get back here?" asked Rarity.

"I don't know, but something's right..." said Trixie.

"Hey! There's a signpost in the middle of the road!" said Cosmo.

"Welcome to your first challenge! But first things first, there's a tablet fragment at the end of this area. Get it, and you'll all leave. Here's the catch: only one of you can get it; there rest have to stay behind this post." Wanda read the sign.

"I'll go first," said Trixie.

"Wait Trixie! This might be a trap!" said Twilight.

"If it means getting you all back home, then it's a chance I'll have to take." said Trixie as she got into a runners' stance.

"Here we...GO!" she yelled as she walked off.

About three hours after she started, Trixie was almost exhausted.

"I'm just about there and my feet are killing me! Oh, if only if there was a way for me to go faster!" Trixie panted.

As luck would have it, a giant machine came up behind Trixie.

"Me and my big mouth!" Trixie yelled as she ran for her life.

The robot chased Trixie all the way across a cut stone bridge when she saw a large wall with a small opening underneath. She knew she had her chance and decided to take it. At full sprint, she ducked down and slid all the way through the opening. The robot, still chasing her, couldn't stop and crashed into the wall.

"Whew! I'm glad that's over!" Trixie said. She looked up and saw something that looked like half of a tablet. "That must be the fragment..." she said before grabbing it. The instant she touched it, Trixie and the others were outside the temple again.

By the time they got back to the place where they started, it was already nighttime.

"Great! All that for a broken tablet piece." said Rainbow Dash.

"Hey, something's wrong with Jim and John!" Pinkie Pie shouted.

The gang looked at the twin vendors, who were acting differently then they were earlier this morning.

"Oh, it's hopeless!" cried John.

"Hey, cheer up you guys!" said Pinkie Pie.

"How about you two have some ice cream?" asked Fluttershy.

"I don't wan't some stupid ice cream!" barked Jim, who then flung the dessert out of Fluttershy's hands. Just before the ice cream fell onto the ground, something grabbed the dessert.

"Fluttershy, my only friend! It's so nice to see you!" the creature, who appeared to be like a chimera, said while holding the ice cream with his left hand, which was more like an eagle's taloned claw, and placed back into the holder.

"Nice to see you too, Discord." replied Fluttershy.

Cosmo: Hey, I thought you were going to save Discord until the third story!

Kellen: Sorry, but there isn't going to be a third story. After this story, I'm done with "Of Fairies and Ponies." Besides, after last weeks episode, having Discord as the central villain wouldn't be right. You understand, Cosmo?

Wanda: Oh well... Please read and review, everyone!
