Have you ever had one of those days?

You know where you go to sleep in your bed and wake up the next morning in a forest not only as a different gender but also a totally different species with no clue how it happened?

No?

I suppose it's not exactly something that usually happens.

Anyways my name is Scorched Wing, least that's the name I took as I can't remember my old one for some reason, and this is the story of how I went to sleep as a human in a world where technology and logic ruled and woke up as a talking horse in a world where magic rules and logic took a permanent vacation.

NOTE: I usually write in Third Person but this fic will be in First Person so please give me some.leeway as I'm not the most expirance with this perspective.
NOTE: Chapters are uploaded unedited.
NOTE: This is being written as a break from the types of stories I usually write so that I can clear my head, as such updates will be random and pretty much cover whatever I think up to have happen.

Twilight Sparkle was using radio signals to view the stars of the night sky when she picked up a signal of some sort.

After a few days of working she managed to get a clear signal.

What she heard on that first day caused her to invite her friends to listen to the strange signal the next day.

Over the next few days Twilight and her friends listen to the final words of a group of aliens as they try to survive on a planet that has died by their own hands.

Now with a READING

Note: I was inspired to write this after reading several other stories about the Mane 6 listening to radio signals from space. This will be a short story.

Twilight Sparkle has too much magic, and it will take her decades to learn to control it. Her spectacular loss of control during her entrance exam only proves that fact. She is a danger to herself and others.

After Sunset Shimmer’s disappearance, Princess Celestia needs a new student to bear The Element of Magic to defeat Nightmare Moon. With all of Equestria at stake, Twilight Sparkle…is not the pony she needs.

Princess Celestia seals Twilight Sparkle’s magic with the distant promise of one day teaching her.

But there are two diarchs of Equestria. Amidst a lucid dream, an offer is made.

“Hello, Twilight. Would you like to be my student?”

This story is a sequel to Three Wishes: The Cutie Mark Crusaders Before They Changed The World

Twelve years after the Crusaders discovered their true nature, an ancient evil has returned. Celestia is hurt, magic is weakened, and Equestria is nearly lost. Now our heroes must find a way to fix things before time runs out, and the world falls to darkness forever. They'll join forces with friends they've made around the world, utilize amazing new breakthroughs in science and magic, and get help from some of the most unexpected of sources as they try to fix The Hole In The Sun.

You know the drill. Comicon. Cosplay. Merchant. Boom, Equestria.

I woke up not in a land of technicolor ponies, but within the lands of their dreams. They had no protector, no one to stave off the nightmares and keep them safe. So I took on that role, and watched over them as if they were my own.

Until recently, when their previous protector finally came back.

A thousand years ago, the Protector of Dreams, Princess Luna was banished to the moon. And tonight she finally returned.

Thanks to Arxsys for the wonderful cover art work!

Automaton [aw-tom-uh-ton, -tn]
noun (plural: Automatons, Automata)
1; a mechanical artifact built by ancient Equestrians for an unknown purpose, usually built to resemble ponies. they are comprised from brass, bronze, iron, nickel, and more. it is unknown if they were ever operable or if they will ever be operable.

Daring Do has helped excavate an ancient Equestrian Temple in the Amarezon Rain Forest.
She's discovered one of dozens of Automata. The strange metal pony, however, is ticking. Like an alarm clock. Except, the ticks go "ticktick-ticktick-ticktick". Like a heartbeat.

When Twilight Sparkle manages to do the unthinkable, to wake it up, it proves itself to be more than just a walking statue.

This is Scrappy.

The theme song for this story is:
Makkon - The Little Toy Shop

Alternate Theme:
Virtual Riot - Rise of The Robots ft. Messinian

Twilight finds a dusty old book full of puns and begins to use them, much to the dismay of her friends, considering her puns are slowing down their travels and they need to be PUNCTUAL.

Twilight Sparkle finally achieved her destiny. She was now a Princess of Equestria, and needless to say her friends were surprised. When a second, unicorn Twilight Sparkle appeared alongside the new alicorn, even Princess Celestia was shocked. Now the Elements of Harmony must help the pony make friends and learn magic, as well as get used to her surprising un-Twilightness.

Meanwhile, a 17 year old high schooler with nothing to do during summer hits his head and wakes up in Equestria. He must now learn how to live his new life as Twilight Sparkle's "twin sister" and survive in a town where a catastrophe happens every Tuesday or so.

Greetings weary traveler/bored reader. Let me regale you with my tale. The tale of a mere mortal, with nothing particularly special to his name, brought to a magical land of dragons, minotaurs, griffins, and of course ponies. But he came as no mere human. He came as the epic warrior, the manliest of swordsmen, that most dashing of multiverse travelers, the mighty Gilgamesh! What adventures will this powerful and magnificent warrior find in his travels? HELL IF I KNOW! LET'S STRAP IN AND SEE WHERE THIS GOES!
