//------------------------------// // chapter 1: welcome to...where am i? (edited) // Story: super secret human facility // by xXmentracksXx //------------------------------// I was dreaming of flying, mostly because I would love to fly on a plane, or because I just hit a hard floor. I was jolted wake at the sudden pain of hitting. now, I'v been on many floors: carpet, manoliam, dirt.....but, this floor was of cold concrete. I looked around to see what was around me and what I could see is fuck all. The room was pitch black and I was hungery. I carefully stood up and hoped for some light. suddenly, a extremely bright light came on from all around me. While I was waiting for the skin to grow back on my eye balls, a voice came over what sounded like a intercom. "Hello can you hear me?" said a female voice. " Yes, I can hear you. but where am I?" I asked while looking up from where the voice was coming from. " All in good time, now I'm going to ask a series of questions and after that a quick personality exam. sound good to you?" " Yes, but first, can I have something to eat? I'm starving." " After the exam, you may have something to eat and drink." " Ok, sounds good." I said. " Good, now first question: what do you know about "ponies"?" said the female voice. Ponies? what do's this have to do with the small horses i see at carnavals and farms. but whatever, i'll play your game girl. " Umm....I like them, I guess." I told the voice. " thats good." she stated. " Question two: are you open to the possibility of change in your life?" another strange question. whats going on here? and why can't i remember anything but who i am? this is getting weird, but i got to stay cool to figure out whats going on. i thought as the voice came back on. "hello still there?" the voice said in a worried tone. " Yes I'm still here and yes, I'm open to change. I'm here aren't i?" I said with i chuckle. " That is true, now final question, this determines your eligibility.." eligibility? to what? " into the next step. now here is the question: are you open minded to any form of sentient being, of any form or shape?" she said. this question really throught me off: what do's that mean? and what happens if i say no? oh, what the hell is going on? I was thinking and thinking, untill I came to my answer. " If said being can think, act with freewill and can display emotions. then yes, I can respect and associate myself with said being." I said with confidence. the voice remaind silent for what seemed like forever. I felt a sence of dread of what i said wasn't what they were hoping for. then the intercom crackled on. " You seem to have blown me away with what you said and I believe that continuing the personality exam will be unnecessary. I believe you are kind of heart and display a personality that well suites this world. now if you would please step throught the door and follow the hallway to the end, I'll be waiting for you to explain everything." she said as the intercom went silent. I was so happy this was over. but one thing was going throught my mind as i walked to the now open wall. "personality well suited to this world?" what the hell could that imply? was i tansported to a alien planet? was this somesort of government trick? or am I as crazy as I hope I wasn't? i don't know, I just don't know. I entered the hallway the ladie said to, it was a long, white walled hallway that seemed to strech on and on. I started walking and walking and walking. my mind was still runing the thoughts back in the room and to who, or what, awaited me at the end of the hallway. after what seemed like hours of walking, I came to a small room. there was a asortment of small plants, a couch, a table with books of many kinds and a table with some fruit and drink near the wall parallel to the couch. this almost seemed like a waiting room in a docters office. the air was nice and cool, with what smelled like apple scent filling my nose. I looked at the table of fruit and saw a juisy looking apple. oh god that apple looks good. i don't think they would mind..... I thought as I inched my way over to the fruit. I reached the table and grabed the apple and began to bit into it. the flavor was out of this world, no pun intended, and the sweetness was almost like candy. but before I could take another heavenly bit, I heard a voice from across the room. " Enjoying the apple?" said the same voice from the intercom, but now closer and more real sounding. I turned my head to the voice when I spotted the purple colored, what looked like a pony, standing near the table of books. I froze for what seemed like hours just looking at the creature. the pony had a dark purple kind of mane with stripes of pinkish and a lighly darker purple. Its tail mached its mane and it seemed to have what looked like a tatoo on her butt. the pony looked behind it and looked at me and smiled lightly. " Are you looking at my cutie mark aren't you?" " Your what? that tatoo?" I said as I pointed a finger at the tatoo/cutie mark thing. " Yes, well this is what we get when we discover our special talent." the pony said with a proud smile. " I'm sorry, but who are you?" I said as I got use to the thought of a talking pony she seemed have composed herself as she got onto the couch. " I'm sorry, I got got side tracked, now my name is twilight sparkle and before you ask, I already know your name." she said. " Ok then, whats my name then?" i told twilight sparkle with the smugest of voices. twilight got a huge smile on her face as she began to speak. " Your name is alex byrd, you were born in the year 1993, your first embarrassing moment was when you vomited on your 5th grade crush after eating to much cheese and you have a bad memory with dogs. hows that?" when she finished, I could have sworn my brain was working before that moment. " How do you know all this stuff about me? have you been stalking me all my life?" I said as i hand my mental ass to me. she giggled as she spoke. " Well, when you came here, you signed a waver saying we could preform a memory scan on your mind. now, there may have been some memory lose after the scan, but they will come back to you after few hours. now any questions?" oh, there are so many questions that come to mind that i could ask at this point. but there was only one question that i cared to know at this point. " Yes, I have one question......where is the bathroom?"
