Chapter 1: Prayers Answered
Disclaimer: I don't own MLP, Only my story and characters.
"Finally, the weekend is here. I can't take school anymore." Emma sighed as she drove down the road to her house. Day after day she longed to be at home away from everything in the world.
She pulled into the driveway and turned her car off. Grabbing her purse she exited the vehicle and casually walked to the door. She stopped in front of her house as a big note on the door caught her eyes.
"What's this?" She wondered out loud as she skimmed the letter. "Dear Emma, I'm sorry, but I had to leave for a very important meeting with a company in another country. Won't be back for a few months due to all the campaigning I must do for them. I'll call you whenever I get the chance. Love, Dad"
She aggressively opened the door slamming it shut in frustration. It was no surprise that her father was gone yet again. He was all she had, but most of the time she couldn't even have that due to his job. Being a senior allowed her to stay at home alone with no parental guidance. She had her license and loads of money her father gave her. An only child had many advantages in the spoiled department, but a fallback in sibling company.
"Home alone. Again. Just freakin great." She rolled her eyes as she walked to her bedroom.
Her house was rather big for only two people. Of course, due to monetary funds it was possible. Everything in the market from the U.S.A to foreign countries could be found in the Watson household.
Practically slugging onto her bed she tossed her purse in the corner. Emma's bedroom was every girl's dream. It had a huge closet full of every type of shoe known to mankind, along with dozens of dresses, shirts and designer jeans. She even had a shelf full of expensive lotions, perfumes and body scrubs. She was very happy with the look of her room, but what made her most happy were the custom My Little Pony plushies her dad had made. Each one was perfectly placed on her gorgeous king sized bed adorned with a floral confider.
"At least I always have you girls to make my life not as lonely." Emma sighed staring at the six stuffed ponies with hopeful eyes. "If only I had more than just one true friend. I'm sure you six would be true friends."
Moments later her happy smile faded into frown. "Like that's ever gonna happen. That wish will never come true." She remarked taking her flip flops off and putting them in her closet with care. Being at home always allowed her to change into a more comfortable appearance. At school she tried her best to keep up her image, but at home she was hardly recognizable if compared.
She removed her sundress and put on a pair of grey sweat pants. Rummaging through her shirts she located a plain baggy black t-shirt to wear. Her ginger brown hair was messily pulled up into a bun while she removed her makeup in the bathroom. As she looked in the mirror, it felt as if the reflection was her true self. The worn down teen stared at herself wondering why she puts on a fake smile for the world to see, when deep down she needed somebody. Sure she was popular, but everyone aside from her best friend only acted nice because they wanted pricey gifts from her father.
As she walked out of the bathroom her stomach decided to rumble. "Guess I'm hungry. I could always get something from the kitchen, but…I could always invite Jaden over…" She pondered out loud. Taking her Iphone 5 out of her pocket she called her friend. After a few seconds of ringing he finally picked up.
"Emma? What'd ya need?" He asked right away.
"It'd be nice to get a 'hi' every once in a while. Anyways, I was just wondering if you'd want to pick up some food. My dad's gonna be gone for some time so you should come over." She explained.
"Sure, I'll get something and then stop by later. I gotta finish my shift first. See you in a bit. Bye." He replied sounding a bit rushed.
"Alright. I'll be waiting. Bye." Emma said before clicking end. "Now what do I do? I have no homework or cleaning to do." She whined in annoyance.
Pondering her options for a moment she decided to go sit in her backyard to pass time. With her phone holding tons of music and the beauty from outside her house, it made the perfect choice. Not a moment to spare she grabbed her sunglasses from the counter and opened the sliding glass door.
Emma spotted her favorite chair near the in ground pool her father's friend had built a couple years ago. Slipping on her shades and lying in the comfy chair quickly relaxed her mind. She picked up her phone and put on Taylor Swift. Emma sighed in content at everything surrounding her. Closing her eyes for a few moments she assumed that life was going to continue in its natural repetitive routine, only she couldn't have been more wrong.
A bright light shone causing her to wince. "What the hell. Aren't sunglasses supposed to dim out light?" She curled up trying to hide her eyes from the brightness suddenly extenuating from the sky. Just as quickly as it came, the light disappeared.
She sat up in her chair uncurling from her position to get a better look. Instead she got a face full of pool. A giant wave of water erupted into the air before it crashed down on the surrounding area.
Emma sat upright shocked at what just happened to her. Luckily her phone was surprisingly untouched by the water saving it from destruction.
"Water?" A girl with blonde hair in a side pony tail questioned bursting up to the surface. She grabbed a worn-out stetson floating beside her gently placing it on the top of her head.
In a matter of seconds, five more girls popped their heads up. Each one slightly confused of their surroundings.
Emma had no idea how to react. Six girls fell from the air into her pool. Each one looked just like the mane six, only human. She felt as if her prayers were answered, yet couldn't find any words for the situation.
"Um…Excuse me?" She asked staring at the six floating heads bobbing in the water.
They each turned in Emma's direction only to change their expressions of curiosity into ones of fear and slight disgust.
"What are you?...Are you some sort of hairless monkey?" The rainbow haired one asked rudely.
"Hairless monkey? I guess that makes you one too." Emma replied in a smart ass tone.
"What are you talk- WHERE ARE MY WINGS?!" She flailed around splashing the other five in the process
"News flash, none of you have wings. Cause humans don't have wings. I mean you're all humans." Emma stated although she couldn't help, but feel like these six were really the ponies from her favorite show.
"Humans? No wings?" The female with the pink and purple strip in her hair asked. She felt the top of her head hoping to find that her horn has remained in its previous placement, but could not feel anything in its place aside from smooth flesh. Part of her wanted to freak out, instead she remained cool and collected unlike her friend.
"Here, let me help you out of my pool." Emma jumped up and held out her hand. The one with rainbow hair made sure she was first out. She grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her up. As soon as she got partially out of the water Emma was caught slightly off guard. She let go of the tomboy voiced female and fell backwards. A huge splash of water soaked Emma from head to toe from the drop the girl took back into the pool.
"What the hay was that for?!" She yelled in anger pulling herself out of the pool. Holding out her hand she helped each one of the others out of the water.
"It's just…you all…aren't wearing any clothes. I mean, I just wasn't expecting that…" Emma admitted feeling a bit uncomfortable as she tried not to look in their direction.
"Whatever do you mean? We hardly ever wear clothes, except dresses on occasion. Or perhaps a marvelous robe. Or silk pajamas." The one with purple curls explained.
"Well, you're gonna start wearing some. Luckily you six dropped by my house. My dad's pretty loaded. I have a bunch of clothes and shoes you can borrow." Emma happily replied grabbing her phone and shutting off the music.
"You do!? Well what are we waiting for?!" The girl with purple curls said in an excited tone as she pulled down her hair.
Each one followed her lead. They all had a look of nervousness as they entered the home from slight anticipation of what the inside held for them.
"Oh wow! This place is super duper amazing! Just look at all the pretty furniture!" The one with pink hair squealed in joy as she bounced around the living room. Emma really hoped they wouldn't ask any awkward questions considering they were all nude at the moment.
"By the way, what are these?!" The hyperactive human asked holding her breasts jumping right in Emma's face.
"Um…they're your girl parts?" She answered in confusion. "You know, I don't think we caught each other's names."
"I'm Pinkie Pie!" The pink poofy haired human shouted loudly resuming her hopping.
"My name is Rarity." The elegant purple haired one replied in a British like voice.
"Name's Applejack." The blonde haired one with the cowgirl hat stated.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle." The one with blunt bangs said with a smile.
"Rainbow Dash." The rainbow haired girl grumpily replied as she poked at the area her wings should have been.
"I'm Fluttershy..." The one with soft pink long hair squeaked to where nobody could understand her.
"Right, well I'm Emma. Emma Watson." She stated finally realizing that it was no joke, the mane six were actually standing her house. "There's no need to be afraid of me, but before I ask for an explanation, you all need to get some clothes.
"What kinds of clothes?!" Pinkie asked in joy continuing to bounce everywhere.
"I have pretty much anything you can think of." She led the six to her bedroom, but stopped halfway. "Hold on girls, I need to go move a few things in my room. Could you stay here for like a couple minutes?"
"Sure thing." Applejack answered on their behalf. Each one started a conversation about the new world they had appeared in.
Emma quickly walked into her room. She locked the door in an attempt to keep them each out in case they tried following her. Practically sprinting to her bed she picked up each one of her plushies. She paced around the room trying to think of a place to hide them. The closet would be a big nope. Rarity would probably be in there most of the time. Taking a moment to think she stopped at the foot of her bed. There was no way she could run out holding them; they six would see the plushies. She would have to hide them better at a later time. Knowing there was no other place to keep them hidden she tossed them under the bed as far as she could. Unless they played hide and seek in her room there would be no way they would see them.
Quickly unlocking the door and opening it, she was met with the faces of six eager humans.
"Sorry we didn't stay put. You took a long time so we wanted to see what was going on. Only the door wouldn't open." Twilight explained while the others nodded their heads in agreement.
"No need to explain yourself. I understand. So let's get this started." Emma guided them to her closet. When she opened the two doors each one had a look of awe struck on their face.
"No words can describe this moment." Rarity wiped a tear from her eye and beamed in joy.
"It's so lovely." Fluttershy shyly said with a smile.
"I have to admit, this is pretty amazing. These are all yours?" Twilight asked Emma.
"Yep. Go ahead, you all have roughly about my body shape, I'm sure you'll find something. Don't put them on yet though, I still need to find you guys something else." Emma told them. In a matter of only a second each one ran into the closet picking out an outfit.
Emma sat on the bed waiting for their decision. After about twenty minutes of looking through the vast range of clothes Rarity stepped out with a short white dress sporting light blue stitching for decoration.
"I love that dress. It'd look amazing on you." Emma smiled at Rarity's decision.
Rainbow Dash walked out with a pair of custom light black track pants and a dark blue shirt decorated with a small rainbow in the right bottom corner.
"Sporty, seems like something you'd wear." Emma said happily already knowing what to expect of each one.
"Yeah, well most of the clothes in there were girly. I need something comfortable if we HAVE to wear them all the time." Rainbow explained moving to the side allowing Pinkie Pie to burst out of the closet.
She was holding a pair of capris and a pink v-neck. Emma was little shocked at how plain her outfit was, but somehow it just sort of fit Pinkie.
"That really does suit you, Pinkie." She said realizing there were only three more girls to go.
"Thanks!" Pinkie bounced over to Rainbow with a smile.
The door opened revealing both Applejack and Twilight Sparkle. Applejack was holding a pair of boot cut jeans and an orange plaid button up. Twilight was holding a studious looking purple skirt and a white shirt with puffy sleeves. Overall they each picked out something that reflected their personalities. Applejack had a country like outfit, Rarity had an elegant dress, Twilight's outfit matched her book smart attitude, Pinkie's seemed very childlike, while Rainbow's matched her athletic personality.
"Alright Fluttershy, let's see what you've picked out." Emma said nicely not wanting to scare the poor girl.
Moments later she slowly walked out showing everybody the outfit she picked. It was a beautiful pale green skirt just a bit longer than Twilight's and a pastel pink tank top lighter than her hair with thick shoulder straps. Normally Emma would try not putting pink and green together due to it somewhat reminding her of a watermelon, yet on Fluttershy she figured it would look a lot better than on herself.
"That outfit is wonderful. I think it'll suit you." Emma encouraged her choice which was met with a soft smile from the shy girl. "So now you all need something else. Give me a sec."
She walked into her closet and reached her intended destination. Rummaging through her choices she specifically picked out twelve different important items for the girls.
"Here. You all need these." She said handing each of them a pair of undergarments which she had opened, but never used before.
"Um, what are they?" Twilight asked carefully observing hers with one hand while the other hand held her clothes. The other five gave Emma the same response, except with their face rather than words.
"They're bras and underwear. If you're gonna live here, well, you're not gonna walk around without them. No matter what you wear you'll always have them on." Emma explained.
"And how do we put them on?" Rarity questioned giving hers a quick glance.
Emma sighed hoping everyday wouldn't be full of explanations and demonstrations for such simple tasks.
/
"Ugh, this thing is so uncomfortable. Why do we have to wear it again?" Rainbow asked in a huff pulling at her bra.
"Cause it holds your chest in place. The end of the story. You can take them off when you go to bed, alright?" Emma explained yet again.
"Fine." She replied still yanking on it.
"Now what?" Applejack asked giving Rainbow a strange look.
"Now we get your clothes on." Emma said tossing them their outfits.
"We have to wear these under our clothes?" Twilight questioned giving Emma a look that practically screamed 'are you kidding me?'.
"I don't mind…if that's what you do here…then it's okay…" Fluttershy timidly said hiding behind her hair.
"See, Fluttershy and Pinkie aren't questioning what I told you all. Maybe you four should take a lesson from them." Emma stated helping each one put on their clothes.
/
"Now you're all dressed. And it only took like fifteen minutes." Emma sighed, but felt a lot better knowing each one wasn't nude.
Pinkie's stomach started to rumble which somehow caused a chain reaction between them all. "Can we get some food?" The six asked in unison.
"I guess we could." Emma laughed. "But first let me just show you a couple rooms on the way to the kitchen. I'll give you a better tour later."
As they all walked down the hall Emma stopped in front of two doors that were across from each other. She turned to the left and opened the door.
"This is the guest room. It has a bed that should be big enough for two of you. The couch over by the wall should hold another two of you." She walked over to the couch and pulled a lever which opened up the recliner on two of the seats. "I have an air mattress the last two of you can share, I would offer the other room in my house, but it's my dad's so it would seem a little weird."
"I call the couch!" Rainbow shouted jumping on the sofa.
"Me too, Dashie!" Pinkie followed Rainbow's actions and jumped next to her.
"I will take the bed. It suits my style." Rarity announced.
"I'll share with you, Rarity." Fluttershy said with a smile.
"Guess that leaves the air mattress to us, Twi." Applejack stated.
"I can live with that." Twilight replied happily.
"Now that you know where you're all sleeping, there's just one more important place we need to go." Emma walked over to the door on the other side of the hall and opened it. "This is the bathroom; pretty sure I don't need to explain anything to you six. There's other ones, but this is the main one I use so everything you need is in there."
"Now can we get some food? I'm starving over here." Rainbow complained hopping off the couch followed by the other five.
"I guess so." Emma led them to the kitchen. Rainbow jumped on the couch in the living room which was just a few feet away. She closed her eyes quickly falling into a nap. Just as Emma was about to open up the fridge the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Pinkie yelled before running to the source.
"Wait!" Emma begged, but was too late. Pinkie somehow found the front door and opened it.
Emma and the four ran after the hyperactive pink haired girl. In the doorway was Jaden holding a big bucket of fried chicken from KFC. His face was one of pure confusion as he stared at Pinkie Pie.
"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!" She had a smile so big it seemed her face stretched in ways never known. "Is that food?!" She gasped grabbing the bucket.
"Pinkie." Twilight sternly said taking the bucket and giving it back to Jaden.
"Uh thanks. Could I talk to Emma for a minute? Alone." He asked grabbing his best friend by the arm and shutting the door on the five former ponies.
"Just what in the fuck is going on?" Jaden asked in a low whisper.
"Well, you see. I was outside. There was a bright light and they kind of just fell from the sky into my pool." Emma explained quietly.
"Why the hell did that pink haired one say her name is Pinkie Pie?" He questioned raising an eyebrow.
"Cause…you can't tell anybody this…but I'm pretty sure they're from My Little Pony. Like the actual characters. They haven't explained anything yet to me though. I completely forgot you were coming over so I didn't have time to keep them from answering the door." Emma admitted.
"Wait…that's really them? Hold up, so that's the real Applejack?" He asked with a smile growing on his face. Jaden wasn't a huge fan of the show, but he did love Applejack.
"Don't get any ideas. They don't need some romance crap between a human. They're flipping ponies for Christ's sake." Emma shoved a finger into his chest and gave him an angry look.
"Alright, alright. I won't. Thank god it's only these five. I would've flipped out if there were all six here." He said happily opening the door.
"Yeah…only five of them…" Emma whispered to where he couldn't hear. She feared what he would say when he saw Rainbow Dash snoozing on the couch. Jaden was never a big fan of Dashie. The first episode he ever watched was Fall Weather Friends, since then he's always seen Rainbow as a cheater and a liar. There hasn't been a single moment in the show where he cut Rainbow Dash any slack for that one episode.
"Any of you hungry? I have enough food for the seven of us." He turned his attention towards Applejack and gave a small smirk.
"Seven? You mean-" Twilight started, but Emma covered her mouth before she could finish her sentence.
Jaden put the bucket on the table and turned around to pull a chair out. Emma thought she was in the clear for a minute, but he momentarily stopped. She turned her head slowly and saw Rainbow Dash had just popped her head up from the couch and proceeded to yawn and stretch.
Each one of the girls turned their attention towards Jaden who had a look of anger on his face.
"Is he okay?" Twilight whispered.
"No." Emma whispered back.
"What's wrong with him?" Rarity whispered questioningly.
"Yeah, he was just happy two seconds ago." Applejack quietly added.
"Why is he so mad all of a sudden?" Pinkie asked softly taken aback by his sudden change of heart.
Rainbow turned around and noticed everyone was staring at her. "What'd I miss? Why are you all looking at me?"
"Emma…" Jaden said quietly. "…Just what the hell…IS SHE DOING HERE?!" He screamed pointing at Rainbow Dash who was completely clueless of the situation.
His voice was so powerful it caused Fluttershy to whimper. Each of her friends comforted her while Rainbow changed from a look of confusion to a look of anger.
"Dear lord…" Emma sighed not ready for what was about to go down in her house.
