Why me?

by Ice


That's convenient

"BRICE...BRICE....BRICE" shouted somepony at Brice who was lying on the ground

"Ugh my head what happend?" he looked around to Twilight looking at him

"From what I saw you were chasing after somepony and you ended smashing into a lamp post"

"Ah,did I say anything while I was out"?

"Um I think you said something about a mouse"

"Ah so.....wait a second where's Soarin?" remembering what had happend

"Who?"

"Blue coat and dark blue mane and tail"

"Oh him I think Rainbow Dash is chasing him now"

"WHAT'S WITH THE PONIES IN THIS TOWN?" Twilight and Brice looked down the street to see Rainbow Dash in hot prusuit of Soarin

"One second Twi" said Brice he crouched behind some crates waiting until the last......"Now" he thought as he pulled Soarin in as Rainbow Dash zoomed past them

"Thank....you" he said trying to catch his breath

"Oh I wouldn't thank me just yet" Soarins eyes widended as he saw who had "saved" him

"Please don't hurt me"

"Oh don't worry I have something much better in mind" replied Brice with an evil smile

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS TATOO ARTISTS YAY"

"NO DON'T LEAVE ME HERE" screamed Soarin

"If you want us do be even you'll stay" he could hear Soarin whimper as he was dragged into the empty Carousel Boutique

"Oh I feel real good about my life right now" he thought with a grin.He continued to walk down the street as a feeling of dread came over him "God please no"
He turned around to see Zeph and Blue approching him

"Brice you are dead" said Zephyr smashing his two fron thooves together

"Gentlemen that fact remains that you can't touch this"

"Oh really why?" said Blue taking a step forward

"Backup plan" he gave three sharp whistles

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS LIFE SAVERS YAY" as the CMC pounced on Zephyr and Blue

"See you later" shouted Brice as he bolted into the plazza

"GET BACK HERE" he turned round to see Zephyr and Blue flying towards him full speed

"Buck" he thought as he ducked into an alleyway being followed by the duo.He turned into another alleyway to find it was dead end,he was about to turn around and get when he heard the dreaded sound of hoofs approching as he was quickly knocked out.

"Why do think he wares clothes all the time?"

"I dunno mabye to hide something?"

"Wait what are these?" [to not risk somebody taking offense I'm not using name for this bit]

"I dunno but they go round his OH GOD WHY DID WE LOOK?"

"Hey dude I have an idea"

"what?"

"whis whis whis then we whis whis whis everypony whis whis whis pie" an evil grin appeared on both of their faces


"Ugh where am I what the AAAUUUGGGHHH" he screamed as he realzied he was haning from a lamp post with his boxers being used to wedgie him.

"OPEN FIRE" he looked down to see what looked like the entire down holding what seemed like.....PIES.After two minutes of getting pelted with assorted flavours Zephyr and Blue finally let him down

"We even?" asked Brice hopefully

The duo shruged and nodded at each other "Sure"

"Hey quick question anypony seen Soarin?" he wanted to see what the CMC had done to him

"Over here" it was Soarin himself who called him over

"Nice butterfly" said brice supprsing the huge laugh which was coming up

"WHAT, they told me it was a lighting blot" turning around in circles like a dog going after its tail.Later that day Pinkie Pie held a late welcome to Ponyville and Best Prank ever party at the same time.

"Hey everypony Brice want's to say something" said Pinkie pie hyper as ever

"Thank you all for coming and I have on very very important thing that you should all know" he got a couple of nervous glances from ponies that knew he was going to do something but they didn't know what.Suddenly a popping sound could be heard and everypony except Brice,Twilight and her friends were drenched in water

"It is on" he said gutting himself at the sight

"HEY THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR" shouted somepony

"YHEAH WHAT WERE YOU THINKING"

"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM"

"SHUT UP" roared Brice

"IF YOU THINK WHAT I DID WAS UNFAIR THEN REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID EARLIER TODAY" the room was in a stunned silince they had seen what he could do when he was angry but his wounds were still healing so they weren't sure what to do next

"But hey why let this stop a good party....hit it Vinyl" with some releuctence the party continued without a hitch.He walked to Twilight and her friends

"How's it going?"

"Good,you?"

"Good so I never got the chance to talk to most of you guys so let's talk" the group sat and talked for the rest of the party Brice learned some intresting stuff like how they got their cutie marks and how Rainbow Dash wants to join there wonderbolts,Twilight wants to own canterlot library,Pinkie.....[for saftey reasons I'm not gonna metion that] Applejack wants to work the farm,Rarity wants to design dresses for Celestia and Fluttershy wants to keep helping animals.

"So Brice what you gonna do?" asked Applejack

"Depends"

"On what?"

"If I get sent back to earth or not"

"Why would you want to go back?" asked Twilight

"Well despite some things that have gone wrong in my life I still have my family and friends" suddenly it dawned on him that he had only been gone for three days here and it could be any amount of time on earth

"I need to speak to Celestia" he said worry thick in his voice

"What's wrong?" asked Twilight

"It's personal and I'd like to ask her something"

"Well I can send her a letter if you write it"

"Okay,thanks" after quickly writing out his letter he looked it over

Dear Princess Celestia,

It has come to my attention that I have been here for three days and that it could be any amount of time on earth.So I am asking you if you have any knowledge on long I have been gone on earth.


From B.Kilmurray

"It'll do" he thought

"Here you go Twilight one letter"

"Okay,Spike come here"

"Yheah Twilight?"

"Can you send this to Celestia for me?"

"Sure" he took the letter from Twilight and with a green flame it dissaperd.Brice could feel a familiar tingiling feeling surrounding him "No please not this" he thought as he vanished in a flash of light.

"Augh at least I wasn't sick this time" he thought

"Yes it would be best to avoid that" came a regal voice

"Okay so you can read my mind what's new?" he said

"Well aren't we in a grump"

"Look Celestia I asked you a question and I want answers"

"Four hundred and fifty years"

"WHAT,HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?"

"Well you see your universe is a central time keeper for every reality and every reality is slightly behind the one before it making a day match a longer extent of time"

"My friends....my family their all....dead?" he didn't want to beleive what he had just heard but deep inside he could feel that it was true

"Yes I'm sorry for your loss"

"Could you put me back?"

"I'm sorry but after twenty four hours it is impossible to send the person back"

"For which universe?"

"Your one"

"Ah well looks like I stuck here.....might as well make the best of it."

"Is there anything you need before you go?"

"Yheah there is one thing"
-----------------------------------------------
It was midnight in ponyville and Brice had snuck out of the house,he approched a hill which had a plaque which obviously had just been added,it read.

"In memory of my friends and family should anypony ever find them and this tell them I'm waiting on the other side"
B.Kilmurray

A small tear rolled down his face and he chuckled "Confound these ponies they drive me to care" as he headed back to his new home.
