My Little Yomtach: Friendship is Missing

Year: 201 CE

South Alicorn says: "Hey, I just realized us ponies haven't checked up on the humans for a while. I wonder how they're doing?"

South Alicorn says: "wtf"

"i mean.. what the hay!!"

"Those humans.. they've grown bigger."

"And they look a lot different."

"how many years has it been? sheesh.."

North Alicorn Kingdom says Doubt those are humans

South Alicorn says: "Hmm, really? Then what are they.."

"Hopefully it's not the changelings trying to take over us again :rolling_eyes: "

NAK says Maybe there's something about them  somewhere :thinking: Doubt they're completely new

South Alicorn says: "Well alright, I'll send Twilight and her friends to check it out."

":smirk_cat: because who needs to do things when you can just tell your student to do them!"

Celestie writes a letter to Twilight explaining the situation.

Spike says: "Twilight he-"

Spike barfs out the letter

Twilight says: "Oh! A letter from Princess Celestia."

Twilight opens it and reads it.

Twilight says: "Humans have been.. replaced?"

"Huh, interesting! I wonder why this happened.. Oh, hopefully it's not Discord again.."

Spike says: "If it was Discord wouldn't Ponyville and Canterlot be.. messed up?"

Twilight says: "Good point. Well anyway, time to call up the rest of the gals."

...

...

...

Twilight says: "Hmm, I wonder why Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rainbowdash weren't at their homes.. I wonder if something happened to them.."

Spike says: "It's fineeeeee. They're probably watching Pinkie Pie speedrun minecraft again."

Twilight says: "What's a Minecraft?"

Spike says: "Uhh, human thing."

Twilight says: "Human thing? I thought we haven't had contact with them for ages now!"

Spike says: "Yeah, I thought it was weird too. According to Pinke Pie it was in her mail box."

"She said the sender was some person named... Dream?"

Twilight says: "Dream? You know what, I won't question it."

Spike and Twilight head to Sugar Cube Corner. (AKA Pinkie Pies house)

Twilight says: "Welp, looks like we're here, Spike. Let's head in."

They head inside and are met with Pinkie Pie playing on some weird box with a screen, and the other main six cheering her on.

Rainbow Dash says: "KILL THAT DRAGON!!!"

Dream speedrun music is playing in the background as well

Twilight says: "Hey girls, what are you doing?"

Rarity says: "We are watching Pinkie Pie speedrun this.. Mine Cart again."

Pinkie Pie says: "YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I DID IT :DDD"

":heart_eyes: it was 2 seconds faster this time!"

"haHA! Now that Dream guy can't possibly beat me!!!"

Twilight says: "Uhm, well anyway. It's good that you're all here."

AppleJack says: "Hm, why?"

Twilight says: "I have a new mission from Celestia."

Rainbow Dash says: "LESS GOO!! FINALLY.. It's been AGES."

Twilight says: "Yeah, though to be honest this mission confuses me a bit.. what does this have to do with friendship?"

Twilight shows the others the letter Celestia sent her.

Rarity reads the letter. Rarity says: "Dear Twilight.. Humans have been replaced. Please figure out why. From, Celestia. P.S bring your friends!"

Rainbow Dash says: "Wait, humans have been replaced?"

Pinkie Pie says: "WHAT!?"

"NO THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT............"

"I DON'T CARE IF THIS IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP OR NOT!! WE WILL FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING!"

Rainbow Dash says: "Geez, I didn't know you liked Humans so much :rolling_eyes: "

Pinkie Pie says: "DON'T QUESTION ME!! :triumph: "

Twilight says: "Well alright.. I guess let's start the mission."

Meanwhile with the Main Six...

The Main Six have already gotten ready to leave the Alicorn Kingdom. Though right now they're discussing a few things at Twilights house.

Twilight says: "Alright girls. You've all brought the essentials, right?"

Pinkie Pie says: "YEP! I BROUGHT SOME CANDY.. CUPCAKES.. PRESENTS :D! ALL THE ESSENTIALS!"

AppleJack says: "I got us sum' apples and cider for the trip."

Rainbow Dash says: "I brought some board games we can play if we get, like.. bored."

"Oh and I also got some Daring Do books for the trip!"

Rarity says: "I have extra clothes for all of us. So if any of you get cold you can count on me."

Twilight says: "Hmm, alright I think we're set to go- Oh wait, Fluttershy, did you bring anything?"

Fluttershy says: "Yes..."

Twilight says: "So what is it?"

Fluttershy says: "Don't worry about it..."

Twilight says: "Uhh, alright!"

"So we're set for the trip.. Now where should I teleport us all to.."

"It'd be handy if we had a map of Yata.."

Pinkie Pie says: "Don't worry, Twi :sunglasses: Ya girl has got you covered."

Pinkie Pie pulls out some big and old dusty book from her bag.

She puts it on the floor and skips a few pages.

Pinkie Pie says: "Here it is!"

On one of the pages is a world map of Yata.. but it seems pretty outdated.

Twilight says: "I guess we'll have to use this."

"Let's see.. Luxuria is the nearest to us. Maybe we could go there."

Rarity says: "No, no.. Darling, we should go to the biggest city. Big cities have much more information."

Twilight says: "Good point, does this book say which city is the biggest?"

Pinkie Pie extends her eyeballs to look at the book closer. She quickly skims through the book.

Pinkie Pie says: "The book says it's Yetia City!"

Twilight says: "Yetia sounds really familiar. Oh well. Huddle up girls, we're going to Yeti-hay city."

The main six look around the city and notice the tall pale humanoid creatures looking at them.

Twilight says: "Uhm. Hi?"

The Yomtachs began to murmur between themselves, confused by the colorful ponies appearing out of nowhere.

Rainbow Dash says: "Aren't these just humans? maybe they all had a grow spurt."

Twilight says: "I doubt it. They look too different."

Rainbow Dash says: "When was the last time you saw a human?"

Twilight says: "..."

"Well whatever. Let's stop standing here and ask them some questions."

The main six walk up to some random Yomtach and strike up a conversation.

Rarity says: "Hello Darling. First of all, you are looking fabulous. Your outfit is to die for."

"And second of all, may we ask a few questions?"

Yomtach says: "..."

"something something in yomtachan"

Rarity says: "..."

"Ah, uh, may you repeat that?"

Yomtach says: "something something different in yomtachan."

Rarity says: "Oh."

Rainbow Dash says: "You have to be kidding me. Oi Twilight, you got any language learning spells?"

Twilight says: "No sorry, I've never really needed those kinds of spells so I don't know any."

Apple Jack says: "What should we do?"

Twilight says: "There's two things we could try. Either we keep asking around and hope we find somebody that we can understand.."

"or we find a book that could help us translate between the languages."

Rainbow Dash says: "Ugh, sounds boring.."

"But fine."

Twilight says: "Alright. Let's split up so things can go faster. After 2 hours come back to this spot and we'll share if we've found anything."

The rest of the main six nod. They all go their separate ways and question every Yomtach they see.

...

...

...

Meanwhile with Twilight.

Twilight says: "Alright, who should I ask first."

While walking along the street, Twilight noticessomething in the distance. She sees a tall humanoid blue jay talking to one of the yomtachs.

Twilight says: "What the-"

As Twilight gets closer, she overhears the conversation.

??? says: "Look dude. It's been hard finding a job. I promise I'll pay you later."

Yomtach says: "It beeen muhdz zince luhzt puhemeent."

??? says: "Please, just a little longer?"

Yomtach says; "Puhck up eowr ztuff."

??? says: "Oh come on!"

Twilight says: "Wait a second."

"is that.. bird having a functional conversation with that creature?"

Twilight goes up to the two of them.

Twilight says: "Hello!"

??? says: "Huh?"

Yomtach says: "Wo uhre yu?"

Twilight says: "Oh, I'm Twilight Sparkle! I come from the Alicorn Kingdom."

"It's great to finally find somebody that can speak Ponyish! Even if it is a little bit.. hard to understand."

"No offense."

Yomtach says: "Uhh."

??? says: "Hey, can you not? I'm trying to settle my rent right now.."

Twilight says: "Oh um. Sorry?"

The blue jay turns back to the Yomtach.

??? says: "Look, I'll draw you something if you let me stay here for a little longer. how does that sound?"

Yomtach says: "I duh't uhccept druhwieng uhz puhemeent."

Before the blue jay can continue bargaining, the Yomtach turns around and heads inside a strange looking apartment.

??? says: "HEY!"

"Oh who am I kidding. I'm such a loser."

The blue jay sits down on the sidewalk and covers his face.

Twilight says: "Are you okay?"

??? says: "No."

Twilight says: "What were you two talking about anyway?"

??? says: "Long story short, I was renting an apartment but I wasn't able to pay for it. So the landlord kicked me out."

Twilight says: "I'm sorry to hear about that."

"Maybe you should ask one of your friends for a place to stay?"

??? says: "..."

"I don't have friends. At least, not anymore."

Twilight says: "Oh..."

"What happened to them, if you don't mind me asking?"

??? says: "I don't want to talk about it."

Twilight says: "Mm.."

"Hey, what if you stayed with me?"

??? says: "Wha- wait are you hitting on me?"

Twilight says: "what?? no??"

"I'm offering you a place to stay!"

??? says: "Didn't you say you lived in the.. Alicorn Kingdom?"

"Where even is that."

Twilight says: "It's near a place called Luxuria."

??? says: "Oh."

"How's it like living in the Alicorn Kingdom?"

Twilight says: "Good! It's ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna."

"They're the best leaders I know."

"And everybody in PonyVille is very friendly. I'm sure they'd accept you right away."

??? says: "..."

"How can I know you're telling the truth?"

Twilight says: "I can you there right now!"

"Well, maybe not right now. I have a mission currently, so I'll take you after I finish it."

??? says: "Okay fine, I'll trust you."

"mostly because i literally have no other choice."

Twilight says: "Great!"

"Do you want to accompany me on my mission?"

??? says: "Ehh. Sure."

Twilight says: "Oh, I just realized I didn't catch your name! What should I call you?"

??? says: "Call me Mordecai."
