canon is foster's home for imaginary friends

[macdaddy]

What?!

But I don't want to go to some creepy town where I'll never see my friends or family again! Who would?

This is messed up and I'm not going through with it. You can't make me. I'll...I'll call the police or something!

Do you think the police will believe you, Mac? You know, I have the toughest time getting em' to take any of my calls seriously.

[it doesn't help that she comes off as very senile, of course.]

[macdaddy]

It's their job to help people, right? And I need help right now, right?

[but how can he put this...]

Wait. What have you been calling the police about, Madame Foster?

[battymadam]

Errrr...

Nothing important dearie, it's all stuff that worked out in the end, you know!! But thank you for asking, ehee.

ANYWAY, it couldn't hurt to try! I mean, it's a legitimate kidnapping report and everything, what choice do they have even if when they ask where you are you have to say "the internet" or "someone's head" or whatever the heck this place is even supposed to be, I sure don't know.

[macdaddy]

Oh man, I didn't even think of that! They'll think it's a prank call!

[battymadam]

Right! That's exactly what I meant.

[No she was actually talking about "how can the police find us" but Mac has a much better point, so why not.]

I tell you, these mundanes are tricky. Mine gave me a whole bait n' switch! At least you saw through yours from the get-go. You'll be... [shifty eyes]

Prepared.

[macdaddy]

I don't want to be prepared! I don't want to go at all!

[battymadam]

Then you'll just have to resort to plan B!

1/2

[macdaddy]

Right!!

[macdaddy]

Uh, what's plan B?

dat other Mac

[star_punched]

Muns can be real crazy that way, huh? You shoulda seen what crap my mun did.

[macdaddy]

What'd yours do to you?

[alwayswork]

Mac? Just what the heck is that mun of yours planning?

[macdaddy]

Frankie! Boy, am I glad to see you. This crazy chick wants to send me off to some town where everybody is brainwashed or something and terrible things happen all the time and I'll be stuck there without Bloo or Wilt or Eduardo or Coco or my mom or anybody!

Uh, except Madame Foster, apparently. But that's still awful! What am I gonna do?

1/2

[alwayswork]

What!? What is your mun thinking!?

2/2

[alwayswork]

Okay-- I'm sure this can be solved. Listen, if you can't convince your mun to drop the idea I'll try to think of something. But since she has you around that means she can be reasoned with.

[macdaddy]

That's kinda flattering, Frankie, but I don't know if it'll work! I've been begging and pleading ever since she got this idea.

[dashingrainbow]

They don't listen to threats, kid.

[macdaddy]

[mac is at least used to talking colorful unicorn types, though this is the smallest one he's seen to date.]

Why not? They should be scared of the police, right?

[dashingrainbow]

The police don't listen to people like us.

[macdaddy]

What, do you mean because you're an imaginary friend? That's not true at all! You have rights just like anybody else.

[dashingrainbow]

Imaginary friend? What are you talking about? I'm as real as you are.

[macdaddy]

Yeah, that's what I mean!

[dashingrainbow]

I mean, I have a mom and dad. I was born in Cloudsdale.

haha i dont have adequate icons for this yet

[macdaddy]

Oh, did your creator have a boyfriend or girlfriend? That's cute!

lol

[dashingrainbow]

[FACEHOOF] I don't HAVE a creator. Gah kid, I'm a real life pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash. I know you humans have a hard time with believing I'm real and stuff, but this is just annoying.

[macdaddy]

That's what I've been trying to say! I know you're real! All imaginary friends are, just like humans.

[dashingrainbow]

I. AM. NOT. AN. IMAGINARY. FRIEND! [now you got her pissed] I'd NEVER see one of you humans before I came here. YOU'RE not real in my world!

[macdaddy]

[uh oh, mac knows what happens when you piss off the talking horses. he puts his hands up in a placating manner.]

No, look, what I'm trying to say is that in this case imaginary doesn't mean fake or not real, it just means that you were created from someone's imagination! It's not a bad thing!

[dashingrainbow]

I would kick you, but clearly you've been hit too many times and are brain dead, so listen up. Equestria is a land ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. We are earth, unicorn and pegasus ponies. I live in a town called Ponyville. Where we are RIGHT NOW, you're not home, you not in a world, you are no where. I can't begin to understand how we all got here[it hurts her head] but I am NOT from you world. There are no humans anywhere where I am from.

[macdaddy]

Riiiiiight. [clearly this pony is in serious denial. he should have seen it sooner!]

Uh, sure. I got it. No kicking required, okay?

[dashingrainbow]

UHG!! You're hopeless. Whatever. [Dash is leaving before she bites you]

[macdaddy]

[this is probably for the best, since Mac sounds really girly when he screams and runs away and it's embarrassing.

as it is he kind of...waves at her...]

Bye! Weirdo...

[dashingrainbow]

[yep, she heard that. She's back and kicks you in the butt before going away again. Friendship may be magic, but this just called for your butt to be kicked.]

[macdaddy]

Wha--ow!!

[when will he learn? well, the kick to the butt probably just took his "muttering insults when the other person can still hear you" education to a new and lofty height.]

[wasonceabeast]

I am afraid the authorities may not be of much help.

[macdaddy]

Man, everybody keeps saying this. How am I supposed to get out of this if nobody can help me?

[wasonceabeast]

It is hard to explain...

[He reaches around and rubs the back of his neck, anxious. He feels bad for the kid. The boy obviously doesn't deserve the fate handed to him, but what can Adam do?]

I could attempt to reason with her...though I doubt that it would change the circumstances.

[macdaddy]

I doubt it would. She's really excited about this, which I think it completely bogus! It's only my life on the line, here!

[wasonceabeast]

I am sure you will not come to harm.

[He clears his throat, then, with the training he underwent in Balamb Gardens at witchesreign, he pushes his adrenaline up, then with a quick snap and minor retracting, a tall, hulking Beast stands in his place.]

Children are held dear by mundanes. [His voice is now deeper, and gruff.]

[macdaddy]

[mac stares up at him pretty unashamedly.]

That was so...

[seriously, he is in awe here.]

Cool! How did you do that??

[wasonceabeast]

[Adam smiles lightly, which as the Beast, his lips curl and some of his sharp canines are bared.]

Special training.
