The Martian and The Unicorn

Summary: A Duck Dodgers/MLP: FiM romance crossover. Marvin X-2, the Martian Commander of Queen Tyr'hanee, finds himself in Equestria, where he saves and falls in love with Twilight Sparkle. Fearing that she will never love him back because he's a Martian and she's a Unicorn Pony, he gets help from Discord, who plans to use him to get Princess Celestia. Somewhat of a parody of The Little Mermaid. I own nothing; just the fanfic.

Ch. 1: The Commander in Equestria

"Commander," one of the Centurions said to him, "we have detected a location in our approach." Comm. Marvin X-2 snapped out of his deep thought and turned to his robot soldier.

"Huh? Oh, very good. What is it named?"

"According to our sensors," a second Centurion answered, "it is called…Equestria."

"Should we inform the queen?" asked the first one.

"No, just leave me on that world for the time being," he answered. "I want to be alone for a while."

"Understood, sir." The Centurion then left the commander alone.

It has been a couple of Earth months since Earth and Mars have stopped the war between them and signed a peace treaty to make them allies instead against other planets that would threaten them. Since then, Dodgers and Queen Tyr'hanee have started dating, insuring the alliance and making the Earth hero and his Cadet friends/allies/teammates of the Martian Commander.

Said Martian isn't happy with his queen dating Dodgers instead of him, but he had decided to move on. All he wants now is for his queen to be happy. Hopefully, some time alone would help him clear his mind.

A short while later, Marvin has gathered some equipment and supplies and headed towards the transporter.

"Sir," the Centurion in charge of activating the machine said to him, "I have to warn you that a storm is approaching the location on the world you have chosen a few minutes ago."

"Do not worry, Centurion," he answered. "I have packed an instant shelter should that sort of thing happen. Just beam me down."

"Yes, sir," the robot answered, a bit of reluctance in his voice. The Commander then stepped in, and the robot activated the controls. Within seconds, Marvin has found himself in a dark forest with a strong wind blowing through it, a sign of the approaching storm.

"According to my computer," he said, looking into the handheld computer in his hand, "this is the Everfree Forest." He then looked around to see some critters and small animals scurrying away to find shelter.

"Maybe I should take up on these creatures' advice and shelter myself as well," he said to himself before taking out a small box from his backpack. He then placed it on the ground and pressed its button. He quickly stepped back as it grew and morphed into a steel, half-sphere shaped house with windows and a door.

Quickly, Marvin rushed inside. The inside of the house is one room, complete with: a warm fireplace; a soft, warm bed; a fridge for food, a table and a chair; and a bookshelf of books between a plasma TV and a stove.

"Hopefully," he said to himself, "this storm will pass soon."
