//------------------------------// // Change, Learn... // Story: What the...HAY ??? // by FireFizz //------------------------------// "So, did you appreciate my offer?" "Huh? What...who are...you?" I sat up on my haunches, looking from side to side. I saw a big black forest, with a tall white blur in front of me. The blur was getting clearer...it was...an animal ?!? "WHAT THE... HAY ??? WHAT WAS THAT? HAY ? WHY DID I--" "QUIET !Calm down please. I have to give you some explanations." The white... animal was sitting too, just in front of me, a serious tone on her face. "You did the right choice. What's your name ?" She asked me, smiling. "Huh... I'm Cedix Burn." I said, confused by all this...world and this tall... cartoonized pony who was facing me. "Great ! Great, great great... So, Mrs. Burn, you wanted to fly away from your life, fly by your own wings ? Here you go." "Wait... What do you mea--AAHHH !" She...she disappeared ! And this forest... I'm so cold... why do I... "What... I'M NAKED ?????? SERIOUSLY ??? AND WHAT IS THIS FORM ? I'M A...PONY TOO ??? AND I HAVE WINGS ??? STOP THE MADNEEEEEEEESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Urrgh...uurg...ah..ah...ahhhhh..." *BUMP* ------------------------------------ "Hey ! Wake up ! Are you alright ? Please, please, answer meeee...." "*kof kof!* HHHUrh... What...happened ?! Who are you ?" I shouted as I returned to my senses. "Oh, thank goodness ! You're okay !" She said, a sigh of relief escaping her mouth. "Yes, I'm okay, I just...freak... Wait a minut, who are you for caring so much about my sanity ?" "Huh ? It's normal to help anypony in need." "Any...Pony ? You mean..." "I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I was walking through the Everfree forest 'cause I had to find a book at the Princesses' old castle about...a certain spell." "Mpf... I think I don't have choice. I'll get use to it. You're...a Unicorn ?" "An Alicorn, to be precise. I was a Unicorn when I became a princess, wich gave me my --" "--Hey, could you please stop talking and help me getting on my...hooves ?" "Oh, of course." She grabbed my shoulders with her magic, and I felt the aura taking me into the air, turning me upside down, then backing me down. "Y-You...can I come with you ? I...am kinda lost right now." "Lost ? You mean... In the Everfree forest ?" "No, I meant lost...in my head." "In...your head...right." I could see in her stare that she wasn't trusting me. "Listen, it's like if I were a stranger, a traveler. I came here, with no idea of what I am supposed to do... and what to think about...all this." "Oh, okay. I guess you have your reasons, I can comprehend this. So, you wanted to come with me ?" "Huh... Yes, please. Where are you going already ?" "To Princess Celestia and Luna 's old castle. I need to find a book." "Oh, okay." After few minutes of silence, Twi...light Thing decided to engage the conversation. "Um... What's your name, if I may ask?" "I'm Cedix. Cedix Burn." "Okay, so... Where do you come from, Cedix ?" "Me ? Hum..." Oh. No. Crap. I was afraid she would ask this. I didn't have time to think about an "invented"answer. "Uh..." I started, as some blush started spawning on my cheeks. "Do you know Manhattan ?" "Oh ! You come from Manehattan ! You're a lucky pony..." "Is...this so cool, Manha-- I mean Manehattan ?" "Are you joking ? If my friend Rarity was here, she would speak a lot about the Generosity's presence in Manehattan..." "Generosity ? Is...this... the Manehattan I know?" "What do you mean ? You didn't come from this town ?" "Yes, Yes ! I did ! But I lived...somewhere else, and... some friends told me Manhattan was filled of peep-- ponies not so generous..." "...Are you sure? It's... Manehattan's caracteristic... Generosity." "... I don't know. Maybe I misunderstood." "And... How old are you, Cedix?" "18." "Oh, you look younger." "Uhh...thanks, I guess." We then stopped talking about this non-sensed stupid subject when we arrived at destination. "Ah ! Here we are !" "Wait... That's the castle you told me ?" "Yes! What do you think it was ?" "I.. I don't know, maybe a CASTLE ! Those things are ruins!" "Hey, calm down !" She took a step back."Luna and Celestia lived there when they were...huh...10 years old I think..." "Huh, sorry, I overreacted..." I apologized." How old are they now ?" "Um...I'm not sure...I think the Princess of Sun is 1050 years old...and-- "Waitwaitwaitwait, WHAT ?" I shouted eyes wide open. "...What what ? Her sister is ...huh...1024...But I'm not-- "But !... But!!!..." I was looking for words. Okay, Cedix, calm down... "Umm... Is Cel..Celestia a tall white....Alicorn ? With a...green/blue/pink/ sparkling mane and a yellow crown ?" I started to wonder. "Uh yes, It's exactly that... Have you met her ?... Cedix ?" "Heheh..." *BUMP* "Oh here we go again..." I heard Twilight sighing before I passed out. I think my spirit loves passing out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
