//------------------------------// // pulled into equestria part 4 // Story: Pulled into Equestria: The fallen star // by TimeLordStudios //------------------------------// {Spike's POV} "Twilight where are you, I have a letter from princess Celestia." I called out but to no avail .Were could she be... “Wait Maybe she's in the library..." I paused for a moment to let that sink in... "Why didn't I think of that sooner! She is usually always in the library." I must still be a little tired. I then ran straight to the library section of the castle, and when I arrived at the door, I saw Twilight and some otherpony talking. 'That' pony must be a big shot from Canterlot talking about lame politics. "Sorry to disturb you too but, I have a letter from Princess Celestia." I said as I handed Twilight the letter. {Blaze's POV} "Thanks Spike what will I do without you." Twilight responded cheerfully. "I just don't know Twilight." He responded with a wide grin." So who's that your talking to Twilight.-" "His name is Blaze and he's a special case... Shoot almost forgot about the letter. Never mind I'll tell you later. Maybe you should see if Rarity needs any help." Why did she dismiss the the topic like that, that's not like her at all, especially towards Spike. "Oh sure thing Twilight." He said flustered "See you later Twilight and bye... Blaze was it?" "Yeah it's Blaze, see ya later Spike... Wait before you go, maybe some time later I'd like to get to know you more as a friend if you don't mind me being your friend of-course" I should at least try to make friends with the ones I can relate to first if at all. "SURE!! The more the merrier." "Thanks see you later Spike." Spike then ran out of the library, to were I assume to be the carousel boutique. "So were where we-." she said forgetting about the letter Spike has just given her. "Twilight the letter." I said with a hint of concern. Why is she acting like this? She dismissed the topic of my origin for the important letter and she forgot about it. What is going on. "Oh right sorry I'm usually not like this." She said as she opened the letter. Dear my faithful student Twilight Sparkle, I wish for you to bring him to Canterlot at your utmost convenience. We wish to learn more about him and, to see if he speaks the truth about his situation.I need you to drug his next meal with magical narcotics so I may run the appropriate test on his mental, magical and physical health I await your arrival sincerely, Princess Celestia. "What does it say? You don't have to tell me I'm just curious." Please tell me. why do I have a feeling it is about me. "Princess Celestia wants to meet you for questioning and research" I knew it. That was what she was doing I thought she was recording my progress or something but no was writing to princess Celestia. "Wait what? Why would princess celestia want to see me... Oh yeah never mind I think I got it. It's because I'm not from Equestria right?" "Yes... We will be leaving in about 30 minutes." she said in a cheerful tone till she saw me in dismay. "Why do you look down, do you want to talk about?" "It's nothing." I said trying to drop the topic but as usual it failed to work. "...fine, I was just thinking... I just hope I don't turn out like the 'others'." "Others? What do you mean by the others?" she asked concerned. "Oh right sorry I need to remember that I'm speaking to ponies and not other humans. I was referring to what happened to the 'others' across the alternate dimensions. I... They...Lets just say that they don't get a happy ending. Have you heard of the term macabre if so that is one word to describe what happened to the 'others'." "That bad? How can such a place of understanding and happiness. Be turned into a... A macabre you must be mistaken." "I'm not sadly, I wish I was though. the truth is equestria is not the happy world y'all think it is, I'm sure you've at least contemplated about the fact...For an example, look at all you had to deal with in a year time span of moving to ponyville, correct me if I'm wrong but around four villains bent on taking over equestria in some capacity. In a one year time span. A few ponies had to die in the background for everything to be resolved upfront. I'm sorry princess but I'm a realist I try to see things for how they really are even if it hurts the truth is more important." But that can change in time...hopefully. "NO!!!!! That can't be... I refuse to except that...It...That can't be true...it can't." Uh-oh I think I broke her need to change the subject quick think think-. "ggggrrrrrraahhn" my stomach growled loudly making my decision for me "Ah sorry about that how about we get a bite to eat before we go. How much for a hay burger? I don't think I have eaten since I got here." Probably around 2 bits. If my memory serves me correctly a couch is 3 bits so maybe 1 bit. "...That's right! you haven't had anything to eat you must be starving, I'm so sorry.How many do want 1...2?" "how many ounces each?I Need to know that to know how many I should get." "Of-course, approximately 2.974 ounces each. So how many do you want?" "I would like 5 hay-burgers if that's ok." "are you a big eater?" "what? Sorry I did hear you, I was just thinking about food. May you please ask it again." Meat will I ever eat meat again, now that I'm a pony I am forced vegan...then again they eat marshmallows and cake. So forced vegetarian I guess. "I asked if you were a big eater. do you usually eat a lot?" "yeah I eat more that I usually care to admit but I usually eat more but I'm trying to lose a few pounds." So I can keep up with this ponies. "Ok then...come blaze, Follow me I'll take there." She thinks I'm fat doesn't she. "sure thing Princess," I said I followed her out the door. "This is probably the largest order at pony Joe's to date for one pony. how many are you getting princess? 1...2?" "I already ate, so I'm not ordering any for myself." "Oh... alright you need to keep a good public appearance after all" I said sadly..."how much is each hay-burger 1 bit, 2?I want to know so I can pay you back for your kindness once and if I get a job." "No No No No you don't have to pay me back I'm just doing this to help you." she replied back, surprised by what I had said. . "No no no I insist your showing me too much kindness, and I feel guilty of taking advantage of your hospitably. So I must repay you in some way... one way or another." "Is that what your worried about? You think your taking advantage of me but your not, I'm showing you equestria for how we see it. I tried to say it in a way you'll understand but I think I failed sorry." "it's ok I see what you meant you are trying to help me adjust to life in equestria, because there may not be a way for me to go home...Correct?" "Not exactly but close I'm trying to help you adjust like you said but not for the reason you stated." She said as she stopped walking. "We're here, so do you want it to go or do you want to eat inside?" "To go please... I'll stay out here, if we go in together ponies will get the wrong idea and they'll start gossiping and It will be everywhere." "you have a strange way of thinking about things. You know that right?" obviously of course. "yeah I do, but I'll adjust sooner than later... hopefully" "One sec It will only take a minute" she said as she entered the fast food restaurant. {Twilight's POV} hea...hey princess twilight what I get for you" the clerk asked nervously. Why must everypony call me a princess I just want to be twilight. "I would like 5 hay-burgers to go please." "sure thi..thing princess" "5 hay-burgers to go code P" he said into the mic "that will be 5 bits." "here you go"she said as she levitated 5 gold bits from her saddle-bag." I'm just wondering What does code P stand for." "Oh It's just a system of order priority for those who've earned it. Code N stands for national hero, code G for those in the royal guard and, code P are for a princess and/or a prince. Speaking of which your order is ready, here you go." he said as he levitated the bag to her. "Please come again." he asked. Why does being a princess matter i'm still the same old twilight just with wings and a Crystal castle that the tree of harmony gave me. "I will" she said as she walked out of the fast food restaurant. {Blaze's POV} "Wow that was fast in my world it usually takes 5 to 10 minutes for the food to be done." Then again they have to cook the food and the ponies don't. "Then it isn't really fast food then is it." she joked sarcastically "Yeah but it is faster than most restaurants..."I said with a smile "We should get going to the train station. don't want to keep your old mentor waiting do ya " I teased. "No need the fast food is right next to the train station-." Wait what Is it really right next door...Oh my goodness it is, how come I didn't see it earlier. "...So it is..." "yep- I'm surprised that you didn't notice it..." "So am I. I must have been more hungry than I thought for something like this to slip pass me." "Well... You did go about a whole day without any food. So that's to be expected." She said reassuringly as she purchased 2 train tickets. "Is this going to be your first time riding a train? "Yeah... I'm kinda nervous about it. How could you tell?" "Don't worry about that. For now we need to catch the train before it leaves." "Yes princ-... Yes Twilight."
