//------------------------------// // Realization // Story: The unexpected year // by gruflz //------------------------------// i awoke to a scared pony staring at me five days later. "what day is it?" i asked feeling that it wasn't my normal one or two day pass out. "its Friday, Sam you've been out for five days" she said with tears of relief being sited. "longest I've been out, sorry i should have told you..."i stated coldly. "tell me what, Sam?" she asked. "well, I've always had a hard time remembering things, in fact that's why i couldn't become a DJ,i couldn't remember what did what. one day i heard about this drug that was just approved for human testing, meant to improve memory. i applied for it and was surprised that i was a perfect candidate for the drug. it turns out the drug that had given me an amazing memory, had also given me psychokinesis, the ability to control whatever with my mind...and...well, also killed all else who had taken it. long story short , the more i use it, the more powerful it gets, but if i use it to much i pass out,usually a day or two."i finally confessed to the pony we sat in silence as she took this in for a wile. "so what happened different last time?" she finally asked me. "what do you mean twi?" i asked her. "well you said you normally pass out for a day or two...you were out for five. what did you do?" she clarified. "oh i tried to give you some of my power, thinking that you could take it, being that your a unicorn. but it turns out that when i started to give, you started to take, and when i looked at you your eyes were white and things started to fly, so knowing no other way to stop you from destroying our house i pulled as much power from you that was necessary to stop...which was most of it...sorry."i explained. "its quite alright...wait what do you mean our house...someone else live here too...i haven't seen anyone?" she asked. "its as much your house now as mine..." i answered her question. "by the way how did you hold up wile i was out?" i asked concerned. "just fine...although there's not much lettuce or apples left"she said trying to hide her blush. "oh ill go pick some more up here in a minute." i said. "i just want to test something here first." i said. "what do you want to test " she asked a bit confused. "well when i pass out for just one day...i become a bit more stronger than before...i think me passing out is just my body's way of coping with the new surges of power in it." i stated. "i want to see how much five days did for me"i said wit a devilish smile on my face. after about an hour of trying to reach the limit at which i could lift i deserted there wasn't much i couldn't... especially after lifting my house and car at the same time with ease i moved on to something else that i tried to do before but couldn't, cellular regeneration. i walked into the kitchen, grabbed a small knife, and sliced the palm of my hand. not enough for stitches but enough to draw blood. "SAME, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" twilight shrieked in surprise. "i need to know if i can do this" i said as i concentrated on my hand. after about a minute i gave up, being able to shut the wound but forcing the two severed pieces of flesh together but not to heal it. then it hit me. "ah i am sooo stupid" i said aloud. i looked back at my hand, and this time instead of concentrating on the pieces of flesh, i concentrated on the individual particles, forcing them to bound. it worked. it worked not even leaving a scar. "YES!"i screamed at the top of my lung's. "that's amazing, Sam" twilight said amazed at the sight. "thanks twilight" i said giving the pony a tight hug"couldn't have done it without you" she didn't say anything in response, just hugged back. "well i have to go if i want to get you some food, anything special?" i asked the pony. "a star fruit... if that's ok"she said. "no problem twi" i said with a smile on my face. i reached for the car keys before realizing i had a hell of a lot more power than before. i walked out the door and jumped. i flew my normal speed and height for a wile before i wanted to push it. i went about two hundred feet higher and flew faster and faster until, boom! the sound almost broke my eardrums. did i do what i think i did? i asked myself. and i did. i was the first person to break the sound barrier without a vehicle. when i got back i found twilight looking out the window, looking for something. "what you looking for twi?" i asked when i walked in. "i could have sworn i herd two sonic rainbooms...im trying to see were they came from." she said not breaking her gaze out of the window. "oh...sorry...but i think that was me...i flew and broke the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom...as we call it here, here there's no wave of rainbow that comes from it... sorry to get your hopes up."i informed the pony. "oh"the pony said clearly saddened knowing her best friend rainbow dash hasn't come to rescue her from this world. "hey twilight? can i ask you a question?" i asked her after a minute. "sure Sam, anything"she said to me. "do you remember the date that you were teleported here?"i asked her. "uhh i think it was April seventeenth...why?"she asked confused at the seemingly miscellaneous question. "i knew it!" i said. "whatever happened when you left you not only got transported into a new dimension without the ability to use your magic, but you traveled in time. the day i found you was may seventeenth." i told the pony. "so i traveled a month into the future...what does that have to do with anything?" she asked. "it doesn't really... but the exact date and time you lost your powers...i gained mine."i said to her. "but how does that make sense... i mean i can see how i cant because I'm in a different dimension...but that you got my powers... i just don't see it." she stated coldly. "the drug i took should have killed me...but twilight...you saved me...without you being sent here..."i trailed off. "you may not believe that's what happened...but i do...twilight...i would be dead if it were not for you!!!" i said as i embraced the pony, and cried into her soft coat.
