//------------------------------// // Ponies...What? // Story: Destined for Chaos // by ChaosknightRB //------------------------------// Ponies...What? The two stared at each other in silent confusion. Chase could not believe what was standing only a few feet in front of him. "Umm, hi." the unicorn began nervously. "Can you...understand me?" Chase had been taken out of his confused state into one of shock as the brightly colored animal before him spoke. "Did you...did you just talk to me?" he said wide eyed. The unicorn let out a sigh of relief as she stepped closer to Chase. "Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle." "I'm Chase," he began calmly. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have something very important to do." Chase proceeded to pick up the fluffy pillow that his head had been resting on. He took a deep breath as he pulled to pillow to his face. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The muffled sounds of his scream filled the room. Removing the pillow from his face, Chase tossed it back on the bed as he looked back at Twilight, who now looked more confused than before. "Sorry 'bout that. I just realized you're a talking unicorn, so I had to make sure I got that out." "Well, of course I can talk. Everypony can." she said suspiciously eying Chase who put a hand to his face at hearing everypony. "Now if you don't mind me asking, what are you exactly." Chase rubbed his temples as he tried to put together words to answer her question. "I'm a human and one that has had a very messed up day at that." He saw that at the mention of him being a human, the unicorn had only grown more confused. "You've never met one of me have you?" Twilight shook her head. "No I haven't, but I did note you had some similarities to monkeys." she said smiling. Some of us more than others, Chase though to himself as he let out a small laugh. "Anyways, thanks. I guess." Chase began. "Where am I exactly?" "The Ponyville library." Twilight answered. "Applejack brought you here when she found you lying in her field." "Uh, Ponyville?" Chase had never heard the name before, but that didn't stop him from thinking it was ridiculous. "Where is that exactly?" "A few hours southwest of Canterlot, we're a pretty small community to say the least." "Canterlot?" Chase asked. Wait a minute, canter? Like a hor-...oh I hate this place already. "Could you possibly point me to a phone? I need to make a call." The lavender unicorn looked curiously at him. "Phone? What's that?" "You don't know what a phone is? Surely someone in this town has one, or at least knows where I could find one." "I suppose they may. Although I'm surprised I've never heard of this phone, it couldn't hurt to see if the girls know something." she said as Twilight began to walk back towards the door. "Feel free to head downstairs and make yourself comfortable, I'm going to go find my friends and see if they can't lend a hoof." Chase sat on a couch on the ground floor as he looked at the book filled shelves around him. He was surprised at just how many there were. It was not long before he heard a knock at the door. He was unsure if he should open it, since it wasn't his place and all. Then he recalled the fact that Twilight said this was a library. Surely if someone needed to check out a book he could deal with that much, or at the least have someone to talk to while he waited for her. Content with his reasoning, he stood up and headed to the door. Turning the handle and opening it, he was greeted by the sound of a scream and a cyan blur. Everything suddenly went black. "Are you alright Chase?" a familiar voice asked him. His vision was fuzzy as he started to sit up. He immediately put a hand up as he realized his cheek hurt a lot. Standing beside him was the blurry outline of Twilight and something of a cyan color beside her. "I hope you're happy Dash, he could have been seriously hurt." "Well it's not my fault that he's like that. I saw some weird thing answering the door and made sure I wasn't eaten or killed. How was I supposed to know he's not dangerous?" the cyan blur answered. Chase's vision returned to normal as the cyan blur came into focus. "Wait...you're a pony...with...wings?" Chase shook his head in disbelief. "I'm a pegasus, thank you." she corrected him with a hint of annoyance in her voice. "I'm Rainbow Dash, best flier in all of Equestria." she said spreading her feathery wings proudly. Twilight nudged her slightly and her look changed from one of pride to guilt. "And, I um...sorry about that whole thing." What the hell kind of place am I in. A pegasus and a unicorn? What's next, dragons? "It's fine, I guess." Chase turned his attention to Twilight. "So about that phone?" Twilight shook her head. "I asked the girls if they knew anything about it, and none of them have even heard of one before." Just my luck, I wake up in the one town without knowledge of a ph-...what a minute. "Twilight, when you say girls, what exactly to you mean by that" Twilight looked at him curiously. "What do you mean?" "You said you've never seen a human like me before right?" she nodded. "So then who are these girls you mentioned?" "Oh, they're ponies. Just like me and Dash here." she replied. "Wait, so you mean there's more than just you two ponies in this town?" "Of course there are, what else were you expecting?" Chase sat silent for a moment as he contemplated his situation. He wasn't just in some random town, he was in town completely populated by talking ponies. "Can I ask a favor of you?" Twilight hesitated for a moment. "I suppose, what do you need?" "Remember that pillow I had earlier?"
