Chapter 14
I am led into a smaller room off tho the side of the great hall. The walls are a dark blue, and there are no windows. "Please, sit down" Celestia says, indicating several cushions on the floor. I sit on one and they follow suit.
"Now, would you please begin with...with.."
"Everything?"
Their laughter sounds like tinkling bells. Looks like it too. Weird.
"Yes please."
And so I proceeded to tell them first about me, then humans in general. I tell them of our great wars, our weapons of mass destruction, science, and of our violent nature towards the unknown. I can see that they know of such violence and hatred, but have a hard time understanding why.
"I don't know why humans are so violent. Almost daily, there would be more killings and crimes. How you two keep such peace is amazing."
We eventually arrive at how I know so much. "Im not going to sugarcoat this at all. Where I come from, the land of Equestria is a fictional place. It is shown in the cartoon called 'My Little Pony'. Think of it as a story you watch. The story begins with Twilight Sparkle and the Nightmare Moon incident." Princess Luna is so stunned she doesn't even flinch at this. "The story gives very extensive information on the lives of the elements of harmony, the two of you, and many other things." They are speechless. "Not only that, but earlier I asked Shining Armor if he was getting married. He said in about a month. If things stay on track, then I have a pretty good idea of the near future. And it's not pretty."
The two princesses look at me like never before. I know what their thinking.
"I know what your thinking. You can use this knowledge however you want. I just want to help. I give you my word that I will not hurt any of the citizens of Equestria. But please, I ask that you not try to communicate with my world. The consequences would be unthinkable." Wow. I sound good.
They thank me for this, and ask that I wait here for a little bit. They go back into the great hall. As they do, I listen and notice they do not lock the door. They trust me somewhat. Oh well, I'll just have a nap...

I am woken by the soft voice of Celestia. "Quinn? Quinn, please wake up!"
I sit up and stretch out my arms. I wonder what time it is?
"Have you decided what I should do?"
"Yes. But we would like your input first. And to confirm one last thing."
"Alright."
"We were wondering, have you noticed any strange changes of yourself? Perhaps something you were never able to do before?"
"Hmmm. Now that you mention it, when I landed, I should not have survived. Even with Pinkie Pie, that was impossible. Other than that...oh, wait! I've been hearing things differently! Not only hearing, but almost seeing and feeling the sounds. I really don't understand it."
"Well, we do have a theory. We think that every time you ever went to sleep and dreamed of falling, you were actually in Equestria. Not physically, but mentally. Now, a unicorn uses magic with mental strength only. We think than every time you fell, you were 'infected' with magic. Magic that could never be used on earth. But then your body fell too. It is very possible that you contain some unknown, new kind of magic."
I thought about that. It certainly made sense.
"Ok, so if I'm hearing things differently, then that means...sound? Magic sound?" Not what I expected, but ok.
"That would seem to be the case. And that is why you will learn to use this new magic from-"
"Twilight Sparkle. Yup. I saw that coming."
"So you agree with this plan?"
"Yes. However, I don't mean to sound rude, but I really get the felling that you are not telling me something."
"Yes...my, you are observant! Yes, there is more the plan. You may know him on your world too. He has also spoken of humans. Tell me, what do you know of the Doctor?"
