You enter the library and find a purple unicorn reading a book that looks to be longer than War and Peace.
"Um...Hi." you say to the purple unicorn.
"Hello."
"So what can I do for you?"
"Tell me about this town, I'm...new here."
"Okay, where do I begin..."
Three and a half solid hours of history later.
"...and that's how Ponyville became the town it is today!" says the purple unicorn with a smile.
"Um...that was a very interesting story. Could you tell me who runs this place?"
"You aren't from anywhere around here are you?"
"You wouldn't believe how much I've heard that today..."
"Sorry, basically this whole land is run by Princess Celestia, she resides in her castle on top of mount Shezna."
**Author's note: "I have absolutely no idea what the mountain is called, if it's called anything, so I picked out a random mountain name. If anybody knows what the name of the mountain is please let me know because I'm absolutely clueless. Thank you."
"Shezna?"
"It's a long story, would you like me to tell it to you?"
"No, thank you. But could I tell you something."
"Sure."
"Well, I can explain why I don't know anything about this land."
"Why don't you know?"
"Well...have you ever heard of a thing called a 'multiverse'?"
"The idea that for every possibility there's a universe that reflects that possibility, yes."
"Well, basically I came here as a result of a 'science experiment' gone horribly right."
"You...you're...you're from another...universe?"
Twilight Sparkle stares at you with a mixture of confusion, curiosity and maybe even a tiny bit of fear.
"Yes, I am from another universe. That's why I know nothing of this world."
"I have so many questions about your universe! What are the ponies like? What's the princess' name? Is she a colt?"
"No, no, no. I don't think you understand..."
"What's not to understand? Doesn't your universe have ponies?"
"Yes, but..."
"So what's there to not understand?"
"The world I come from isn't dominated by ponies...it's dominated by humans."
"Humans? Is this your way of escaping tyranny or something?"
"No. I am a human...in a pony's body."
"Oh yeah? Prove it!"
You think for a minute. How are you going to prove to her satisfaction that you're a human?
"Well, I've got this..."
You give her your ID badge, fortunately it wasn't modified by you entering this universe.
"That's me, as a human."
She looks at the picture in amazement.
"Your eyes...your mane...they're the same!"
"I don't think anybody knows exactly how the machine works, but a body suit I was wearing became a pony-sized body suit when I came here. My Armboy also became pony-compatible."
"I must tell Princess Celestia!"
"No. We should wait."
"What? Why? This is a breakthrough beyond that of any breakthrough we've seen before!"
"Listen, I'm not sure if I understand the social climate of this world enough to be able to explain myself without causing a major stir."
"Then explain to me. Tell me what your world is like."
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything."
Five and a half hours of knowledge later
"...and that's basically the story so far." you say with a grin on your face.
"Wow. I'm amazed at your world. It's so much like ours, but so different!"
"Yeah. Your world is absolutely amazing, by the way."
"As is yours! I would love to see your world! Can I?"
"I'll have to figure out if I could. You'd need a hazard suit and a return pad..."
"A what now?"
"Basically when you enter another universe you're exposed to massive quantities of what's known as 'gamma radiation' which can lead to diseases and death. At the levels you experience when traveling to another universe, you'd literally become a nasty mess on the inside of the dimension machine."
"Oh, that's not something pleasant to think about."
"Exactly, that's why I need to go to my body suit and get back home, it's getting late."
"Could I come with you? I mean, to your body suit that is. I want to see it."
"Um...sure, I might need help getting back into it as well so I guess you have to come with me."
"Great! I'll grab my stuff."
Twilight's horn begins to glow and she pulls together a tent, a camera and a lantern from a shelf.
"Wow, how did you do that? Right, you're a unicorn."
"Let's go!"
