//------------------------------// // the ppp (purple pony princess) // Story: Now and later // by madric //------------------------------// You are awaken by the sound of a door slamming shut a little bit too loudly. "Oops my bad I didn't mean to shut the door that loud I just wanted to come check on you" riiiiigght "So what can I do for you nurse redheart" you ask while trying to scratch an itch under your cast before redheart smacks your hand away. "Don't pick at it it'll make it worse" she says in a scolding fashion. "Uuuuggghhhhh but it itchhhheeeesssss" you groan in annoyance. "I don't caaaarrreee" she says in a tone mocking yours. "Just what kinda nurse are you?" You ask. "The one that does what she has to do to get the job done" "Fair point, so what did you need exactly? You question her. "Well you know how princess twilight wanted to talk to you yesterday?" "Yeah, I'm guessing she wants to see me today? "Exactly she's a actually waiting out in the main lobby." "How long has she been waiting out there?" "I think around ten minutes" "What kinda pers- er pony is she she is the princess of friendship, and has saved the world on multiple occasions rather it be from discord or nightmare moon so you can assume she's a very nice mare. "What the heck is a nightmare moon?" You ask puzzled. "I think you would be able to get a better explanation from princess twilight." "Allrighty that's fair I guess, so how we Gonna do this, am I gonna get some crutches cause I don't know how that'd work assuming that you even have crutches." "Yes we have crutches and no you will not be using them, lucky for you we have a wheelchair which is made for a minotaur, which you are required to leave in. "Yay" you say in the most unenthusiastic tone you can muster up. "Don't worry about it your just have to leave the hospital in it, no pony is saying you have to stay in it after you leave, I mean it's suggested but not mandatory, but you didn't hear that from me." "Sweet" you exclaim while throwing a fist in the air, that is until you realize something you hadn't even considered yet. "Uhh nurse redheart?" "Yes daniel?" she asks while she helps you into the wheelchair. "I'm uh not sure how I'm going to pay for my medical expenses I don't really have any money on me, and even if I did I don't think my money would work here." "Oh that's not a problem, princess twilight figured that may be the case and had paid for your bills herself." "Oh" HOLY crap these horse-er ponies must be frikin saints or something "Yes, and it seems that we are almost at the main hall" she says as she hands you er- would it be hoofed you? Ah whatever. Handed you a clipboard asking for general details like name, race, and species. But as you look it already says human and male along with the payment which you can assume was from princess twilight. "Hey i thought that you guys had never had a creature like me here before?" "What do you mean, I can assure that your the first one of your kind I've ever even seen let alone worked on." She says with a questioned look. "Well it says here that I'm a human". "Are you a human?" "Well yeah but how did you know that." "Oh you think I..no no no I didn't fill out your information sheet, princess twilight did she seemed to know what you were as soon as she saw you." "Isn't that kinda weird?" You ask as you hand her back the clipboard..which she some how holds in her hoof. "Not really I mean she is a princess, she has probably seen a lot of weird things, not that I'm calling you weird or anything." "Yeah Yeah so we Gonna go find princess twilight?" "Of course, the main hall is just through these doors." As you exit the two swinging doors the first thing you notice is that there are a few ponies who've look like they either have bruises or are sick, the second thing you notice is that rather than all just being normal ponies some of them have horns while others have wings. And lastly you notice a purple pony that seems to not have just one or the other but both. "I'm gonna guess that the one with the wings and the horn is princess twilight." You whisper to redheart who is walking next to you. "And you would have guessed right" she whispers back. Princess twilight seems to have taken notice that you two were making your way to her and begins to walk towards you. "Hello nurse redheart it's nice to see that our guest has woken up." "Yes we weren't entirely sure when he was going to wake up but we're happy it was sooner then later." She says back as she nudges you to say something. "Oh uh it's nice to meet you princess twilight, the names daniel." She seems to be a bit upset when you said princess it was only a small slip but you caught it "It's nice to meet you to Daniel I assume that you to have all ready filled out all of the required paperwork?" "Yes princess we've gotten all of it filled out that is necessary for him to do." Says redheart. "Great, and I'd like to ask if it's not to much trouble if I can get a copy of those documents." "Of course princess as soon as we get the rest filled out and get copies made we will send them your way." "Thank you, so daniel are you ready to go to the castle?" She asks as you leave the hospital. "Wait you have a castle?" "Yes, yes I do." "That's fuckin AWSOME...er princess." She noticeably winces at the language but doesn't say anything "You don't have to call me princess daniel." "Are you sure, I don't want to be rude or show any signs of disrespect." "I promise you that it's fine, I'd actually rather prefer if you didn't." She says with a slight look of sadness so you decide not to push it. "Well allright I guess I can just call you twilight, if that's ok." "It's okay with me." You see that you've entered a small little town full of even more ponies. "Welcome to ponyville Daniel." Says twilight. "So a whole town full of ponies." "Yes most of equestria is inhabited by ponies, of course there are some griffins and zebras but the population is mostly ponies" "So you ponies aren't the only sentient creatures here I'm guessing." "No not at all there are minotaurs, griffins, zebras, yakks, dragons, and many more." "Woah you guys have fuckin dragons here, how have they not just eaten all of you?" "Contrary to popular belief dragons tend to keep to them self and will only mess with you if you mess with them or they're treasure, when we get to the castle you'll be able to meet spike." Your eyes widen in supprise "So there's a dragon here in town." "Don't be worried spike is still just a baby dragon." "But still that's pretty cool I mean-." You are interrupted by a fuzzy pink mass talking up a large portion of your sight. "OHMYGOSHANEWPONYINTOWNMYNAMESPINKIEPIEWHATSYOURSWAITYOURNOTAPONYOHMYGOSHYOULOOKJUSTLIKETHOSEHUMANTHINGSTHATTWILIGHTTOLDMEABOUTAREYOUAHUMAN?" BRAIN OVERLOAD "wut." "PINKIE PIE." "Yes twilight?" "Daniel just got out of the hospital so jumping onto him like that is not a good idea." "Nah she's fine twilight, just make sure to give me a little warning next time, pinkie was it?" "Yuperooni that's me pinkie pie experty party planner." "So you plan party's?" "Yup and when I saw you in realized I've never ever met you before and that made me realize I've never thrown you a party before and that made me realize I didn't know you Favorite cake flavor." "Well I'm sure you just heard from twilight, my name is Daniel and my favorite cake is vanilla with chocolate buttercream frosting." To your supprise you look up to see her writing in a little notebook. "Buttercream froooossssting, allrighty thanks a lot daniel." And just as fast as she arrived did she also dissappear. "She seems nice." You say while looking at twilight. "Yeah pinkie can be a bit eccentric and a hoof full at times but she is one of the friendliest ponies that you will ever meet." "Other than you I'm guessing" "What do you mean?" "I'm just saying you must be the friendliest pony alive to earn the title princess of friendship right." "Oh..yeah I guess you are right." She isn't being honest with you, at least not completely but you decide against going any farther. "Welp looks like we made it." says twilight as the two of you approach a large castle made entirely out of what appears to be crystal. "WOAH twilight this place looks fuckin AWSOME!!" "Yeah it's pretty nice I mean it's not where near as amazing as princess celestia and princess luna's castle" "Are you kidding me unless their castle is completely made out of pure diamond then I feel like it would be pretty hard to top this place, hell it even looks like a tree which takes tree house to a whole new level." "I guess you got me on that one, it's actually one of my favorite things about this castle she says as she opens up to large golden like doors to reveal the shimmering interior walls of the tree like castle. You are then suddenly greeted by a small green and purple creature that you assume to be spike. "TWILIGHT your back, finally what took you so long." He asks before turning to see you. "So this is the human that sweetie belle and scootaloo found right?" "First off we it took longer because I wanted daniel to be able to walk er wheel through ponyville to get a good feel of the place instead of just teleporting straight here from the hospital, and second yes this is daniel." "Wait you could've just teleported us here?" "Yes I could have but it's not good to teleport somepony who is injured and never teleported before." "I guess that makes sense." "What are you so uppity about anyway spike? "Starlight wanted me to help her make some breakfast and I didn't want to say no so I thought I'd just help her until you got here and then I could go help rarity like she asked me if I would yesterday." "OK first off you can help rarity any other day and secondly why is starlight making breakfast." "She said something about making a good impression, and cmon how come?" "Your always over there spike it feels like if you could you would live there." "...." yikes "Twilight?" "Yes Daniel?" "Don't you think that if spike has been helping this starlight out with breakfast that he should get a little break to go help someone I mean it doesn't sound like he's goofing off more like he's just helping even more people." "Yeah what he said twilight about me just helping another pony." She takes a moment to think about it before finally giving in. "Fine" "YES." SHOUTS the young dragon. "BUT I want you back home in two hours got it?" "Yes mam" He says before running out the door as fast as his little legs will take him. "Allright then daniel since it seems that starlight has prepared breakfast for us we are going to have to do a very quick tour of the castle rather then the expertly crafted one I had prepared." She says with a slightly ticked face before throwing a VERY large list into the nearest trash bin. "Allrighty so just the basics?" "Exactly, and are first stop is your room." "Wait how do I already have a room here?" "Oh I took the liberty and had one ready for you, after all I doubt you have a house here if you just showed up out of the blue one day right? "Uh yeah pretty much more or less." "Right so I had a friend of mine patch up your pants and your shirt but she said your jacket is going to take a while longer." "Makes sens- wait you have my clothes?" You totally hadn't even thought about your cloths until now OH god what about your phone. "Yes but they were in pretty bad shape but my friend was able to fix them, OH and if your worried about your phone it's with your clothes." She tells you as you both enter a room which you assume is yours "OK hold on a second now, I have a very big question to ask." "And that would be." "So when I woke up nurse redheart had told me that no one had ever seen or heard of a creature like me before and yet here you come already knowing what I am and what my technology is, what's up with that?" She sighs before sitting down in front of your chair. "I suppose I own you some answers huh?" "Uhh yeah kinda." "Allright but first I have three questions for you, the first being do you have any I'll intentions towards equestria or any of its leaders?" "Twilight if I had any I'll intentions don't you think I would've done something by now?" "Just answer the question" she says calmly. "No no I dont." "OK good next question, have you intentionally givin any false information in hopes of hiding anything." "No" "Allright last question, what kind of person are you? Now this question takes you off guard "I guess that I'm uh a nice guy I mean back where I came from I only really had one friend but he always thought I was a good guy other then working i spent most of my time shut in my apartment or at one of my friend zacks parties when he wouldn't stop bugging me about it." She looks pleased with your answer, but it's also sort of a knowing look. "Good that's the last question, so I guess I owe you an answer huh?" "It would be nice yeah" She then goes into detail about how she had her crown stolen and had to go through a magic portal that led her to a world filled with humans and with help from five friends she made there she was able to stop a threat gain a new friend and get her crown back. "Wait so if there's a world filled with humans then that must be my world, that means I can just back through that portal." "Yes I had that thought too but after running some tests on you when you were sleeping and found that your biological makeup is different then those in the mirrored universe." "So does that mean that that's not my universe?" "Yes, you see the mirror changes your physical form so If you are the only human in a world full of ponies then that would mean in a world full off humans you would be a...." "Pony" "Yes, I've went over around ten different ways we could potentially fix this problem but none worked out in the end." "That kinda sucks" "I'm so soo sorry that I couldn't find anything." "Nah it's not your fault, but one more question did you figure out how I got here in the first place?" "I'm afraid not, universal travel is basically impossible other than the mirror and discord, but I had fluttershy ask him if he had anything to do with it and he swore on their friendship that he didn't." "So no way to get me back either?" "No, I'm sorry." "Hey like I said before it's not your fault you did what you could and when that didn't work you accepted me into your home had my clothes fixed and payed for my medical bills, so in my opinion you've already done a lot for me, hell without you they might of just kicked me out the second they figured out I couldn't pay." You noticed that she's started to tear up a bit. "So your not mad that I can't send you back" "No way" "Thank you so much" "Yeah Yeah allright enough of the mushy stuff." You tell her Which gets her to give a small giggle. "Oh by the way how long did nurse redheart say you'd have to be in that wheelchair?" "Oh I don't have to be in it i just had to leave the hospital in it, and kinda just felt to lazy to walk." You say as you stand up only now realizing how much taller you are than this pony. Twilight apparently realizes this to and takes a step back just to see how tall you were. Now your not saying you were that tall on earth you are only 6 foot, and there were plenty of people who had height on you, but this pony only came up to right above your waistline. "You are a lot taller then I realized at first" Twilight says giving a nervous laugh. "Yeah me neither I guess I just assumed you were taller cause of the wheelchair." "So I think we should head off to the dining room before the food gets cold and starlight gets upset." "So what's with this starlight is she your girlfriend or something." Twilight blinks and then her entire face becomes as red as and apple. "YOU THINK....OH NO NO NO NO NO SHE'S JUST A FRIEND AND BESIDES I'M NOT EVEN IN TO MARES." "I'm just yanking your chain twilight, but if we are going to go I'd rather have some clothes that don't feel like someone just put two kids hospital gowns together." "Oh right so I guess I'll just wait out side." She says before rushing out the door. You walk towards the dresser which has your shirt and pants sitting neatly folded next to your phone and headphones, you do notice a lack of underwear though. "Crap looks like I'm going camando for a while" you think to yourself before grabbing your clothes and quickly changing into them, you decide to leave you phone for now. You exit the room to find twilight sitting in front of the door on her haunches in a way that reminds you of a dog waiting for its master to come home. "You ready?" Asks twilight. "Yeah I'm ready." "Great cause I am starving." You hadn't noticed but your actually quite hungry yourself. You wonder what this new pony that your going to meet is like you wonder what kind of food there is going to be too. Ah well guess you'll find out in a minute.
