//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 - curiosity could kill the human // Story: The siren 6 and the tiny human // by aswann12 //------------------------------// is it awake yet Twilight? i heard faintly as whoever was talking was very muffled but I could make out that it was a younger sounding, so it must be a child of some sort. I groaned as I tried to open my eyes, but as I did so all i saw was more darkness. And what little light I did have i only saw giant purple scaly like objects above, around, and under me, but somehow they felt quite soft, like a blanket. yes I think he is Spike, give me a sec I heard another muffled voice saying as this one sounded more feminine with a hint of annoyance. I felt my world shake at it's core as the "ceiling' opened up as I was bonded by light, again.......for the 3rd time today. When i finally could see again What was awaiting me from above, well, something I really didn't expect. Most of my vision was blocked by the huge muzzle and face of what looks to be one of the siren/pony hybrids that Luna talked about, and it looks like i was in its hands from looks alone, but this one seemed all to familiar to me. The siren had lavender scaly skin with a dark purple main with stripes of purple and pink in it, and right smack dab on its head was a horn. It had big purple eyes with the pupils only being long slits like a reptile, and a muzzle that was a mix between a pony's muzzle and a dragons, and it also had pony ears with some gills on the side of its neck. And now that i could get a good look at her hands they had four fingers on each one with webbing in between them, and they had a circular palm which connects to rather pony like arms, minus the fur. It had on a purple sweater with a medium length pink skirt with a cutie mark of a big pink star surrounded by 6 smaller stars with a medium sized tail poking out from under it. And her legs we're similar to a pony's till it got to the feet, they looked more like spikes as they had a circular base with 3 toes. This is all I could see of this siren at the moment but it was enough for me to recognize it immediately. is that......Twilight? I thought to myself in disbelief. "Oh good your awake!" Twilight said in glee as she used her free hand to scoop up a pad, and used her magic to grab a pencil as she looked at you with gleaming eyes. yep that's Twilight alright I thought as she now hovers the pad as well as the pencil in the air as she started to write down some things as she poked me with her finger claw. "Owch! You really need to cut those things" I yelped out in pain as i tried to push the invading claw away from me. "Oh good, you can talk, this will make things much more easy." She giggled in delight as she sat me down on the nearby glass coffee table as she sat down in front of me crisscrossed. "Now tell me about yourself little....." She said as she was clearly trying to get my name. "Oh, my names Aaron Twi-i mean miss..." I stuttered as i was hoping that she didn't catch my little slip up. "Twilight " she said as she extended her finger over towards me as I immediately start to shake it hoping to move things along a bit quicker. "Well....go on" twilight said as I racked up anything about me I could think of in my head. "Well my names Aaron Swann, I use to live in a country called the United States, I'm a human male....." I kept going on as twilight wrote everything down on her pad. I was a bit confused as I would have thought that she was gonna make me go more in depth with who I was, but as I was thinking about this twilight answered that question pretty quickly. "Oh and im guessing your confused as to why I'm not probing you with info. Well I've visited a world similar to yours so I don't need that much detail, I already have 7 novels about your culture" Twilight said in excitement as she pointed over to 7 thick books with what I assume was her research. "Well dang, that's quite a bit" I said as Twilight brought her face to my body. "I know right? And that's all on your plants! The other 50 books on your species is in the other room!" Twilight Said with as much enthusiasm as she had as I just hoped that this little questioning bit will end soon, because I did not want her to make a book on how I wash my hair any time soon. Luckily I had a saving grace in the firm of a whiny voice coming from behind Twilight. "Twiiiiiillliiight, you said that I could see it when it wakes uuuuuuup!" Whined a familiar looking baby dragon as he walked up beside Twilight in a huff. "Alright Spike you've waited long enough, you can have a look" Twilight said as she scooted over so that the dragon could properly see me. When I first saw Spike standing over the table everything looked like it should. Giant green spike like scales running down behind his head all the way to the tip of his tail, purple scales all over, soft looking underbelly, big green eyes with a cute dragons muzzle to go along with it. The only thing different that I notice is that he has wings now. damn, I really should have caught up on the show I thought to myself as spike eyed me like a kid getting a new toy on Christmas. "Wow, i never knew that humans could look so squishy." Spike said as he poked my torso with his finger, which made me giggle a bit. "Hehe, and feel it too" Spike said as I tried to speak. "H-hey that tickles!" I giggled as I tried to push away the claw only for Spike to smirk as he poked me more. I thought of something fast to make the poking barrage stop. "Nice wings dude" I said as spike immediately stopped poking me as he struck a pose, showing off his wings. "Oh you like em huh? Well I'm not surprised, they are pretty cool" Spike said as he flexed while showing off his wings, which got a chuckle from Twilight and i. I must have been giggling a bit to hard as the sirens stone fell out of my pocket, and Twilight noticed immediately. "Wait how did you get this stone?" Twilight asked as I picked up the stone again as I held it close to me. "I found it, Luna said it chose me" I said as Twilight leaned closer to me. "Hmmm interesting.....here give me a minute I'll be right back" Twilight said as she got up and dashed into another room. "Uh....dude?" Spike said as he crouched a bit to be at eye level with me. "What's up Spike?" I said curiously as spikes expression turned from happy go lucky and childlike to that if great concern. "We should probably go" Spike said worriedly as he extended his hand out towards me so I could climb on to his palm. "Why what's wrong?" I said as i walked over to his hand in no hurry. What is he all worked up about? I thought to myself as I saw the room that Twilight went into had it's door wide open. And I saw her shadow on the door as she picked up what looked to be a small test tube, a pair of ......pliers....., and a..............scalpel......... "Aaaaarrrroooon~ I'm ready for you~" Twilight said as she started to walk out of the room she was currently in. "That's why!" Spike said as he used his free hand to shove me onto his other hand as he held me behind his back as Twilight entered the room. "Hey where did Aaron go spike?" Twilight asked Spike as she sets down her lab supplies along with a book on human anatomy. "Umm..he...uh....well.....um... he went to go wash himself! " Spike stuttered out as I could see that he was sweating bullets at this point. "Oh well that's good, saves me the trouble of doing it myself before the procedure" Twilight said as she sat down and opened the book. "So uh....what 'procedure' are you gonna do on him exactly?" Spike said as he slowly opened his wings and gently flew up a little bit at a time so Twilight wouldn't notice. "Oh well since you mentioned it, I want to see why the stone picked him, I want to see if any of his insides are different than a regular humans, it could be that reason that it chose Aaron. Don't worry I'll put everything back where it should go I promise you that" Twilight said as she flipped through the anatomy book towards a section on how to do surgery on a human. "Uh huh, yea, cool, um welllll I got to go, so see ya!" Spike said as he started to fly away but Twilight voice stopped him. "Spike......what do you got behind your back?" Twilight asked as spike just hovered in the air motionless. Then out of nowhere he bolted towards a open window with a screaming Twilight close behind. "Spike get back here this instant or mark my words you'll be cleaning up the library 8 times today! " Twilight yelled as Spike flew out of the window and towards the shopping district of ponyville as Twilights screams became more and more faint. Spike then turned sharply down an alleyway as he just sat there for a moment. After a while he didn't hear Twilight voice anymore as he sighed in relief. "I'm so sorry about that dude, Twi has been acting up recently after her transformation, but don't worry, she'll simmer down eventually." Spike said as he looked down at me as I just shook my head. "No it's ok, I was actually sent here to help out" I said as Spike walked out of the alleyway with me in tow. "Well if that's true then you better go check out the rest of the girls, they all need some help." Spike said as he then took to the sky's again, making sure he had a good grip on me. "We should go to Applejack next, the farms close to here" he said as we flew away from ponyville as I hoped that Applejack wasn't as bad as Twilight is. end of chapter 1
