Newcomers and veterans alike, welcome to the world of ponies!

Who: YOU. And you. And you. And everyone!
What: What just happened!? You've been transported into the world of ponies, that's what.
When: November 10th
Where: Smack dab in the middle of Ponyville. And around Ponyville. And maybe a little outside Ponyville too.
Rating: You know you.

(Pssst. Check out the story so far to get an idea for what's happened prior to this point!)

It all happened in a flash. Short earthquakes and aftershocks rocked some of the buildings in Ponyville as a magical explosion wreaked its own brand of havoc across Equestria. Once the dust settled, however, the Ponyville ponies realized that there were some newcomers in their midst. Ones that were definitely not there before the explosion. So where did they come from, and how did they get here? Did the explosion bring them here?

Luckily, the actual damage from the earthquakes was minor, and there were no actual downed buildings, just some that were now slightly cracked and in need of repairs.

The natives slowly closed in on the newcomers, warily eyeing them and wondering what their intentions were. But rather than looking angry or upset, they just looked confused and curious. Why not introduce yourselves to them, and to each other?

The official royal welcome wagon might even show up soon!

"I never get tired of watching you go," commented the Overlord from nearby, a smug and sly smile upon his face.

Which lasted all of a second longer before he shot straight up, hooves clattering beneath him as he scrambled to his feet. "Oh crap. You are my Applekack, right?"

Applejack jumped to face him, looking shocked for a few moments. Her friends were here...and the Overlord she'd thrown her lot in with too. It was a tremendous relief, but she could let him sweat for a moment.

She answered by hooking a hoof around his neck and dragging him down into a kiss.

...Horseapples. Hopefully her mother wasn't nearby.
badassfreakingoverlord: (omfg yay)

Yep. Definitely his. Not another Applejack in all the cosmos that would respond like that.

Luckily they were both two phenomenally strong ponies, because Zetta sure as hell was putting all his effort into that kiss and absolutely none into standing upright. Raw core strength on both their parts was the only thing keeping them from tumbling into a pile on the ground.

Not that he'd mind.

...On the other hand, she might want to break the kiss soon if she wanted to get anything done, since she knew perfectly well what she did to the Overlord.

She did pull back, a gentle little smile on her face.

"I can look after myself, Zetta. But I sure as sugar missed you," she added, lingering close for a little longer.

"You seen heads or tails of Rarity?"
badassfreakingoverlord: (damn)

"It hasn't been that long," Zetta grumped, which to both of them meant clearly that it had absolutely been too long even if the actual time elapsed hadn't been so great. And her question brought a frown to his face. "Not yet, but if we're talking about mares who can look after themselves..."
appletastic: (backing up)

"Maybe not, but when you think you'll never have another shot...it can sure feel like ages," she said. Sure, that wasn't entirely true...but it felt true, and that was enough for now.

"Don't I know it. But, ah..."

She glanced over her shoulder and blushed.

"There's just one little thing that's changed since the last Equestria. My ma's alive! And she's here!"

And...she doesn't really know her mother well enough to know how scared she should be, which somehow makes it worse.
badassfreakingoverlord: (aghast!)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2017-11-24 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uh."

Okay, one thing Zetta had absolutely not signed up for was meeting parents. Not intentionally, but he was sure glad it worked out that way.

"Uh."

Zetta pawed at the ground, an absent and very uncharacteristic nervous tic.

"So, uh. Your mom's the sort who's totally cool with you making your own life choices because you're a strong independent mare, right?"
appletastic: (Friendship)

Applejack sighed. "That's just it. I don't know. She died when I was just a little filly, and I imagine she's gonna be pretty protective for a while. It's a lot of change to take in."

She straightened her hat, then reached over to pat his hoof with hers. "Maybe I'll ease her into it. Start with the Elements of Harmony tale and go from there. You don't have to come 'round right away."
badassfreakingoverlord: (so confident and slick)

Zetta stood silent a moment, contemplating thus turn of events.

Finally, his voice low enough that it was practically a rumble, he said, "There's no one else in the cosmos who would treat you as well as I do. You're happy, damn it, and it shows. That's all that matters. So we're not going to hide, or pretend. We're going to be who we are and what we are."
appletastic: (Huggy)

[personal profile] appletastic 2017-11-30 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
And that confidence was why she loved him, darn it all. Applejack surged forward to hug him, nodding her agreement.

"You got it, sugarcube."
badassfreakingoverlord: (omfg yay)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2017-11-30 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Confidence? More a matter of determination. When he'd committed to this... uh, this whole thing... Zetta had committed. That meant no hiding, no taking anything back, no pretending. The whole 'kick the ass of anyone who didn't approve' thing wasn't exactly applicable here, but damned if he was going to back down.

He returned the energetic hug with a grin. Nothing to regret about his decisions. "Besides, LOOK at me. The worst thing we'll probably have to deal with is jealousy."
appletastic: (Lemme think)

[personal profile] appletastic 2017-12-10 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure. Us Apple ladies...uh, and pears too, we can be pretty tough to please."

She snorted. "Still can't believe I'm half-Pear."
badassfreakingoverlord: (Standard Zetta)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2017-12-10 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Tough to please, my ass. Your standards are simple." Zetta lifted a hoof to tick off points as if he had fingers. "You need to be treated well, challenged just enough that you enjoy the effort of keeping up, be a clear partner in the relationship, and kept physically active."
