Chapter 1
The TARDIS appeared in the basement of Doctor Whooves’s house. I stepped out of the machine to find a puzzled Derpy looking at me.
“What are you doing here? I haven’t seen you before.”
“My name’s e-Lightning. I’m a friend of the doctor.”
“Oh.” The derp-faced pony said. “Okay then!”
“e-Lightning,” The doctor piped in, “I know you don’t have any accommodations, so you can stay in my guest room for now.”
“Thanks,” I said.
He showed me to the guest room. It was rather simple, a room with a small kitchen and a simple bed. I walked in, and saw the clock. It was already midnight. I walked straight to the bed, got in, and went to sleep.
***
I woke up to Derpy ringing a bell at the door.
“Good morning,” She said. “How was your sleep?”
“It was fine,” I said. “Does the doctor want to see me?”
“Yes, in fact, he does.”
“Alright then.” I got out of bed and walked upstairs where I saw the doctor waiting for me.
“You wanted to see me?”
“Yes. Would you please come with me to breakfast?”
I followed him to the dining room, where I saw some food laid out for me on the table. There were some apples (I assumed they were from Sweet Apple Acres), some waffles, and some strawberries. We sat down and I started eating immediately. I didn’t eat anything since I came to Ponyville! While I was eating, Doctor Whooves told me a few things.
“Since you are from an alternate dimension, everything will work differently for you. For one, you should not reveal your true name to other ponies, there could be a collapse of the dimensions, or total isolation, preventing you from getting home if you need to.”
“Got it.”
“Another thing, unless you are completely comfortable with the pony you are talking to, try not to reveal too much about yourself. If you reveal too much, who knows what will happen?”
“You have a point there.”
“Alright, that’s all I have to say for now.”
“Thanks.”
I finished eating and walked out of the doctor’s house. I decided to try using my wings. I slowly and steadily took off, trying hard not to fall or bump into something. I didn’t get proper flight training, so I was worried about how my flying might be. I stopped worrying the second I came across someone I easily recognized. She stared at me for about five seconds, then squealed and ran off. “Typical Pinkie,” I thought to myself. Apparently, somepony else had noticed me. Lyra Heartstrings herself walked up to me.
“By Pinkie’s expression back there, I can tell you’re new. So where are you from? You look like a Cloudsdale type of pony.”
“Well, if you really wanna know…” I pulled Lyra aside.
“Truth is, I’m from an entirely different dimension.”
“WHAT? Are you kidding me?”
“Nope.”
“Then which one?”
“The human dimension.”
“Whoa! I always wanted to meet a human! What’s it like? Tell me everything I should know.”
“Alright, I will, as long as you don’t tell anyone. I’ll tell someone if I need to.”
“Agreed. Now tell me!”
She pulls out a notepad entitled “Human studies”, and a pen.
***One hour later***
“And that…” I said, out of breath, “is everything you need to know… about human life.”
“Thanks a lot!” The mint-green pony said. “This’ll be a great help to my studies!”
“You’re… welcome.”
Lyra trotted off, where an impatient Bon-Bon was waiting for her. She started shouting, and I knew that was my cue to run off.
I had no idea where I was going, but I didn’t really care. I kept looking behind me, and before I knew it, I had bumped into Rainbow Dash! She somehow looked a lot prettier up close. I wasn’t sure, either it was something I picked up from the machine, or maybe it was just me.
“Hey! Watch where you’re going!”
“Oh, um, sorry. I’ll just get going now.”
I watched as she sped off, to whatever she was doing. I thought to myself. “Can it be? Do I really have a crush on RD now? I can’t believe it! Nopony must know!”
***Meanwhile…***
“Augh!” Rainbow Dash shouted to herself! “I’m so stupid! I can’t believe I said that to him! I had the perfect chance to leave a good impression on him and I blow it!”
***Later***
It was getting late. I decided to return to the doctor’s house. I opened the door to find apparently everyone in Ponyville crammed into Doctor Whooves’s house.
“SURPRISE!” They shouted. I nearly flinched, but I should have known something like this would happen. After all, Twilight Sparkle had the same welcoming committee. Pinkie stepped through the crowd.
“Welcome to Ponyville e-Lightning!”
“Thanks,” I said awkwardly.
“You’re welcome!”
The party started, and I walked over to a table with punch. I took a ladleful and poured it, rather clumsily into the cup. “Stupid hooves,” I thought. Suddenly, I noticed a stage set up at the back of the house. DJ P0n3 was there. At first I thought “Big deal.” Then I noticed she was trying to use my laptop! Apparently, ponies aren’t compatible with Windows 7. I quickly started pushing through the crowd, but not everypony was that willing to move aside. Next thing I knew, DJ P0n3 had managed to open my iTunes. I started running harder when I realized I had wings. I took off and started flying, but apparently, I haven’t practiced enough, because I crashed into a wall. It kind of reminded me of Derpy’s clumsiness. I quickly trotted alongside the dance floor and managed to reach her before anything else could happen.
“I can take it from here.”
“Alright then. I can’t figure out this computer anyway. What kind?”
“Microsoft Windows.”
“Micro-wha?”
“Never mind.”
I clicked on one of my favourites. Apparently, a lot of people like deadmau5. I decided to put on my headphones. Maybe I could get a job as DJ. If that’s so, I’d need TONS of songs, and the ability to remix a song. I could be known for unique beats. Suddenly, a crowd of ponies rushed up, wanting to know more about the song.
“This song is awesome!”
“What’s it called?”
“Who’s it by?”
“Where’d you get it?”
“It would be really hard to get it from here… But if you want to know, it’s called Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff by deadmau5.”
“Huh? Who’s that? What’s that?”
“It’s complicated.”
The crowd disappeared as soon as it appeared. Lyra was still there.
“I’m guessing deadmau5 is from your dimension.”
“Yep.”
“So what’s he like? Any good?”
“Heck yeah!”
“Huh. You told me about computers from your dimension. What kind of computer is this?”
“It’s made by Fujitsu. It’s a Japanese company.”
“Anything else?”
“It’s a Windows 7 Enterprise.
Suddenly, Bon Bon appeared from the crowd and grabbed her by the arm. She dragged her away. I have no idea what’s going on between them.
***Meanwhile***
“You’re too obsessed! Why do you like him anyway?”
“… I can’t tell you.””
“And how come?”
“He told me not to.”
“Look, just tell me.”
“Okay, just a second.”
***
Lyra walked out of the crowd again.
“Can I PLEASE tell her?”
“Fine.”
Lyra walked back into the crowd. I decided to give the stage back to DJ P0n3. I was walking through the crowd, making my way through everypony dancing. I walked outside, where Pinkie somehow managed to set up an Olympic-sized swimming pool in a backyard barely over 10 metres long. “Oh Pinkie,” I thought. “Always defying physics.” Derpy was there, and she decided to dive in. She flew up high in the sky, then dropped right in the pool.
***
Derpy landed in the pool right near Rainbow Dash. Instantly water sprayed everywhere, soaking RD from head to tail. “Derpy! Watch where you’re splashing!”
“Sorry.”
***
I knew I had a crush on Rainbow Dash, but what happened took it to the next level. My eyes were fixed on her, my mouth wide open, and my wings spread. I knew I had what the fandom called a wingboner, but I didn’t care.
***
Rainbow Dash knew someone was staring at her. She turned to see e-Lightning, owl-eyed. “Huh?” She thought. “Here’s my chance.” She started trying to impress e-Lightning.
***
“What the BUCK is she doing?” I thought to myself. I went from owl-eyed to puzzled. I then decided to walk away.
***
“Augh! What am I doing wrong?”
“Everything,” Derpy said.
“And what do you know?”
“Not much. But even I can tell you that is not how to impress your crush.”
***
Rainbow’s strange behaviour creeped me out for a bit, but I got over it. I began dancing when Pinkie appeared, offering me a cupcake. Suddenly remembering the awful fanfic I decided to read (and I regret doing so), I declined.
The party ended a few hours later, and I was so tired. I walked downstairs, and plopped into bed. I quickly dropped into sleep.
