My Littlest Pet Shop: Escape from Equestria

By Drizzle117

With much help from zfunkman

Chapter Five

Improvising

"Twilight? Twi, where are you? I finished helping Rarity." As the little purple and green dragon wandered further into the library, he seemingly didn't notice the blue Pegasus and her seven animal companions pressed up against the wall, breathing heavily. "She said I was absolutely perfect!"

Minka opened her mouth to say something but Blythe whacked her hoof against the little monkey's mouth, wincing slightly. She didn't know who this dragon was, but she needed the okay from Twilight before she could reveal herself.

Not that she was exactly invisible, a blue Pegasus pressed into the wall of a drab brown and tan library, but still…

The lavender unicorn's head jerked up as the dragon wandered towards her, a large goofy grin on his face. Twilight nodded. "Sounds great, Spike…now, there are some friends I'd like you to meet."

"Friends?" For the first time the so-called "Spike" turned around and noticed Blythe and the pets pressed up against the wall. His eyes went wide, and he stumbled backwards over a pile of books. "T-Twi! Who…?"

"Spike?" The lavender unicorn's voice sounded like forced cheerfulness; she grinned nervously and quickly beckoned Blythe forward. The Pegasus moved slowly to face the shocked looking dragon.

"H-hi," she mumbled under her breath, folding her cyan-blue wings against her side and scuffling one hoof against the other. She was still getting used to the feel of being in the body of an equine. "M-my name is Blythe."

Instantly Twilight's face looked horrified, and deep inside Blythe knew she had done something wrong. But what?

Spike looked confused as he stood up, dusting himself off. "T…that's not a regular name for a pony," he said, slowly brushing a book off of his spines. "And what're you doing with all of those animals? Twilight, I thought you didn't like animals in the library."

For a heartbeat Blythe thought it was all over. Twilight looked so nervous one of her hooves was literally shaking with fear. The Pegasus had to do something…

"I come from a place far away from here…on the outskirts of…" What had Twilight called it before? Ekkistria…Equestrika? Oh, now I know! "…Equestria. What ponies are named here are different from what we're named there—over there we have names like…like Youngmee, Sue, Jasper, and Josh," Blythe announced. Feeling more comfortable now, she continued. "And our unicorns use amazing magic to make our animals talk, and…"

Spike was now staring at her with confused green eyes, and the Pegasus trailed off, seeing that she had probably rambled on enough. She stopped talking and looked at the ground, poking it with one of her hooves.

Zoe began to talk next—the little dog had been looking quite irritated for a while and seemed relieved at finally having a chance to say something. "Yes, but the thing is, we have to get home an—"

She was cut over by Twilight, who gritted her teeth and said, "What this little puppy means is that after staying here for a couple days, they will be heading home, right?" The unicorn looked so annoyed that Zoe sighed and nodded weakly.

Spike still looked utterly shocked, and for a second it appeared that he couldn't say anything, but finally he nodded his head. "So…who's showing them around Ponyville? I'd be happy to take a few of them out…"

Minka nodded, grinning. "Yeah, I'd like to see what this place is all about!" The spider monkey whooped and leapt on top of the bookshelf, peering down at Spike with excited pale blue eyes, squealing under her breath as she did so.

"And I can get the others to come help us!" the dragon said, clearly getting excited now. "I bet Pinkie would throw these guys a huge party…"

"Yes," Twilight interrupted quickly. "The others…we'll have to show them. Now." Whipping her tail around as she turned in a circle to face Blythe, she said, "You can take the pets outside—I can handle how they're welcomed." Then, in a softer whisper, she hissed, "What were you doing, making up that story? It sounds unbelievable—the only one who'd ever believe it is Spike! And he's the most gullible creature I know!"

Blythe smirked; it seemed she had finally one-upped the egghead unicorn. "Well, in the world I come from…we call it improvising."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Everypony, this is Blythe. She comes from a faraway land that we have not yet explored, where the unicorns place spells on their animals to talk, so if one of her seven critters starts speaking to you, do not be alarmed. Their names are…" Twilight looked down at the animals in confusion, and the Pegasus realized that the unicorn had never really asked the names of her pets.

"Zoe Treeeeeent," the dog sang in her melodious voice, stretching the "eh" part of her name out and holding it.

"I'm Pepper Clark."

"M-my name is S-Sunil Nevla."

"You can call me Minka Mark! Ooh, can I have your watch? It's so shiiiny…"

"I'm Penny Ling, nice to meet you all."

"Hey, I'm Vinnie Terrio, and I'm a dancer."

Everypony turned to look expectantly at Russell, who sighed and looked at the ground. Blythe felt a pang of sadness; the hedgehog hadn't really been able to fit in so far, and he didn't seem like he wanted to give out his real name, but finally, he gritted his teeth and mumbled, "And I'm Russell Ferguson."

"You all are just the cutest things ever!" came a soft, excited voice from near the back of the crowd, and the blue Pegasus lifted her head curiously, looking over to see who had spoken.

It was another Pegasus, a butter-yellow one, zooming to the front with aqua eyes as wide and as excited as they could be. She rubbed Sunil behind his ears, right where he liked it, and the mongoose looked surprised but content, before the new pony stroked Zoe's back, carefully making sure that she didn't rub her fur the wrong way.

Blythe blinked. How did she know that they like to be rubbed that way?

"My name is Fluttershy," the Pegasus mused as she playfully scratched Minka under the chin. "I love taking care of little adorable critters just like you!"

"You're certainly good at it," Zoe mused, stretching her legs and sighing contentedly under the lemon yellow hoof-massage.

A pink tint came into Fluttershy's cheeks. "Thank you," she whispered meaningfully, flying up to look at Blythe with a curious but also nervous glint in her eyes.

Twilight stepped forward now, smiling as she did so. "Blythe, this is Fluttershy, as she's already said. She's one of my very best friends. The others are…horsefeathers, where are they?"

"I'm here!"

A streak of rainbow and suddenly another sky blue Pegasus had appeared in front of them. She had a rainbow mane and tail, and the tattoo thing on her flank (Blythe hadn't been able to figure those things out) was a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of it. Her voice sounded somewhat cocky, yet familiar at the same time…

"I'm Rainbow Dash," she chirped before Twilight could say anything. "Element of Loyalty and future Wonderbolt member, thank you for asking." Puffing out her chest proudly, Rainbow Dash looked over to see Fluttershy smiling her way and nodded, grinning. "My best buds are Fluttershy here, Twi, and…the others."

"About the others," Twilight mused, "Where are they?"

"Sweet Apple Acres," the Pegasus replied immediately. "Why, want them to meet Blythey here?" She elbowed the other Pegasus playfully, and Blythe winced, taking a few steps backwards.

"As a matter of fact, yes," Twilight said with a steely tint to her tone of voice. "We'd better head off, then."

With the pets running ahead, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash talking as they flew together in the sky, and Twilight trotting in front of them all, looking incredibly content, Blythe couldn't help feeling like somewhere, someway, there would be trouble. Her danger sense was tingling.

And she couldn't ignore it.

AN: Now we're getting to the interesting part where the Mane Six show up. Silly me, of course I made my three favorite characters meet Blythe first . (RD is first, FS second, TS third for me, anyways).

And another thing I forgot to mention-we (zfunkman and I) changed Blythe into a pony ALSO because human-in-Equestria stories are done a lot, and we wanted to change that. No, I'm not saying they're bad, because many are very decent, but that would take away the attention from our main part of the story. "And what is that?" you may ask. Well...it has something to do with the "mysterious figures" from the description. That's all I'm saying.

Thanks for reading, and please keep on reviewing! :D
