A Sneak Peek #1 · 1:44am Dec 26th, 2013
So since everybody seems to be updating/posting their fanfics for Christmas, I figure I'd better get in on the game too.
Only I don't have what I want to post ready just yet, so...let's do the next best thing.
The following preview has been approved for all audiences by Scyphi Productions
“What’s going on?”
“A big dang object crashed onto your roof and nearly set the whole place on fire, that’s what!”
-
“What was that thing?”
-
“All I know is that I get…jitters every time I look at it.”
-
"Something’s inside! There’s something inside, trying to get out!”
-
“Are we sure we should be letting him have free reign like this?”
-
“Okay, there is seriously something amiss here, and I want to know what it is.”
-
“All right, so he might be a little…nuts. But…in a good way. I…don’t know how to explain it, but he seems trustworthy and like he knows what he’s doing. I mean, I look at him, and just feel…safe.”
-
"I’m starting to suspect you’re just playing with us! Trying to mess with our heads, catch us being gullible for your own twisted enjoyment!”
-
“I’d even go as far to say that he knows more than either of us…wiser than any of us…older than any of us. He’s no ordinary pony. He’s something…more.”
-
“I think this is all just a trick, some elaborate TRICK some mean pony’s playing on us, and you’re in on it!"
-
“He’s…aw hay, I don’t know how to explain it. But he seems intelligent and…special. Like he’s earned the right to call himself what he does.”
-
“I’ve had enough of your senseless babbling! I’ve been trying to make sense of you, figure out what you’re really going on about, to no avail! Well no more! I want ANSWERS, and I want straight ones! Who are you?”
-
“I’m something of a traveler. You see those stars in that sky? To you they’re just specks of light. But not to me."
-
“I mean, think about it! Think about where he came from for a moment!”
-
"I’ve seen them, or ones just like them. They are big balls of gas and fire millions of miles wide that burn for billions of years until one day when they simply wink out, and spinning around them, going round and round at speeds you cannot begin to comprehend, are planets, like this one, lost little orbs that are mere grains of sand in the massiveness of your universe and living on those little specks of dust are populaces of beings of potentially any array; furry, scaly, skinny, fat, kind, vicious, warriors, peacemakers…and right now there’s likely one sitting in her own kitchen, looking out her own window at her own night sky, and is looking at your star, right now, wondering if you are anything like her.”
-
“And you’re just okay with that?”
“Yeah, I guess I am...You got a problem with that?”
-
“And I could leave right now and visit her, in person, and tell her the answer before she could blink. Because that is the sort of thing I do. All of you sit and wonder what’s out there. I go out and find out, because I’m past the stage of sitting and wondering. Above it, even. I go out and show those people that they are not alone. And then fight for them when they are wronged. Protect them when they are threatened. Comfort them when they are scared.”
-
"Are you all right?”
“No! No, I’m not all right! How can I possibly be all right after hearing…hearing…that?!”
-
“That is who I am."
-
Whirr…whirr…whirr…
-
“What was that?”
“That’s what I’d like to know.”
-
“You sound like you’re describing a ghost…but ghosts don’t exist…don’t they?”
“Depends on what you mean by ghost,”
-
Whirr…Whir—prr—prr—prr…
-
“I’m afraid Ponyville just got a little less peaceful.”
-
“The tear is growing.”
“What did you say?”
-
Whir—prr—prr—prr—prreee—prreee—reeEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
“The inhabitants will accommodate the Dimenost.”
-
“Get away from it!”
“Who the hay are you, anyway?”
“Just call me the Doctor, Miss Dash."
