You wake up.
After briefly inspecting your surroundings, you notice that your constant dream of going to live in Equestria has come true somehow, and you are now in a cozy, pink bed. You rub your eyes with your hands, only to find out you do not have hands anymore, but hooves. You look yourself over and see you have indeed become a full-fledged pony, though which type still eludes you. On the other side of the room you see what appears to be a bathroom, assumedly with a mirror. Do you:
a) Let the sheer awesomeness of the event overwhelm you for a few minutes.
b) Get out of bed and inspect the bathroom.
Option A – You spend only mere moments exciting your mind in this new, wonderful life when the sheer sweetness of it gives you a heart-attack. You die. Start from beginning.
Option B – After a few cautious steps trying to find your feet, or hooves as it were, you carefully make your way to the bathroom. Inside you spot a spotless, shining room of porcelain. There is a large spa-bath in the corner, a shower, sink, and everything you would expect to find in a royal bathroom. On the far side is a large glass door that leads to a balcony. Most importantly, however, there is a large mirror by the towel racks that you could easily inspect yourself with. You stand yourself in front of it and what you find puzzles you. Instead of the totally awesome alicorn OC you made yourself, you notice you are instead an earth pony. Still, any pony is a good pony when you have been magically teleported to a new dimension, or at least that’s what you tell yourself. Do you:
a) Double check to see if you are an alicorn as you indeed should be.
b) Be happy with what you are.
Option A – The only way you can really be sure if you are an alicorn is to take flight. You open up the balcony door and jump off the edge. You fall to your death. Start from beginning.
Option B – You take one last look in the mirror and give yourself a little smile. It felt good to be a pony, and it didn't matter which kind you were. You exit the bathroom and find yourself once again in the suite you had woken up in. You are still unsure as to how you wound up in Canterlot, or if you are only dreaming. Before you can think too much on this, you hear a knock at the door. You feel very nervous, almost too nervous to answer, but you muster up the courage and make your way to the decorative portal. You try the doorknob, but you only manage to flail limply at its round hold. It would appear you still have a lot to master if you wish to live your new life as a pony. You call out to the other side that you are having trouble with the door and wait for a response. You hear no answer, but the door slowly starts to swing open. Your heartbeat quickens at the thought of your first meeting. Could it perhaps be Luna, or even Celestia? You don’t get options this time though, because it is one of the royal guards. He stands before you in his splendid golden armour, and beckons you to follow. He seemed quite cold to you, maybe he felt threatened or jealous? You don’t have time to find out as he has already moved on. You poke your head out and see him moving quickly down one of a corridor. You turn your head the other direction a spy a large, ornate door at the end of the hall. Do you:
a) Play it by the rules and follow the guard.
b) Screw that! You’re here to explore, and that door looks like it could be hiding something, or someone, very important.
Option A – You decide since you are a guest in someone else’s home, you should listen to their instruction. The guard opens a plain looking door and motions you to step inside. You oblige him, and he follows you after. Behind you, you hear the door close and it almost sounded as if it was locked as well. The room suddenly goes dark and you are impacted by some unknown object on your head. I guess the guard really was jealous of you. You bleed out and die. Start from beginning.
Option B – The majestic door at the other end entices your mind, and you find yourself drawn to it. You quickly glance over your shoulder to see the guard off in the distance. After a brief hesitation, you lunge yourself at the door and push with all your might. It forces open and you find yourself inside a large room. Standing before you is a large chest. Around the walls of this round room are nothing but a few shelves of dusty books and a lonely lectern. On top of the lectern is an open book, and as you move closer to it, you notice large quantities of ink has been spilled over it, making it illegible. You wonder whether the ruining of such a mysterious book in such a mysterious room could be deliberate or accidental. Your gaze falls once again on the chest in the middle of the room. You wonder if the book had anything to say about what the chest may contain, but idle thoughts as such will not move you ahead. You open up the chest, and before you can react, you are pulled in by some arcane force. The pressure is almost too much to bear, and feel as if you may die in mere moments. Do you:
a) Die.
b) Not die.
Option A – You die. Start from beginning.
Option B – You force yourself to stay conscious for the event, and suddenly, you open your eyes to a startling sight. Before you stands none other than Princess Celestia. Her coat was shining brightly in your eyes, as you slowly managed to regain focus on your new environment. Princess Celestia offers you a polite smile, and you return the favour. Truthfully, you would have preferred to be greeted by your waifu, Princess Luna, but you are still glad to be seeing a familiar face at least. The princess states a formal greeting and asks your name. You are about to say your real name, but change your mind and tell her you are called Nightwing Mystere, after your OC. You make sure she knows the correct spelling. She asks if you would like anything, and you ask her about the mysterious chest you fell through. She tells you there is no such chest in Canterlot, and that you may have just been sleepwalking. You are not sure whether to believe that, but you let it slide for now. You ask her where her sister, Luna, is, and she gives you a surprised look. She asks how you knew about Luna. You tell her about the pillow of Luna you have back home, but she doesn't seem to comprehend. It’s probably for the best. Princess Celestia bids you to follow her, and you gladly oblige. You follow her a while through the castle halls and she asks you many questions about the world you come from. You lie to her as much as you can. Eventually you come to a heavy steel door. It seems to be magically warded. You assume it is because you can see three unicorns on each side covering it with their magic and eyeing you menacingly. The princess shoos them away and unlocks the door. The process takes a few minutes due to the large amounts of locks and bolts. Eventually the door is opened, and you are ushered inside. Before you is a large pulsating device, looking like some sort of pillar from floor to roof. It appears mechanical in nature, but its movements seem more biological. You ask Celestia what it is, and she was, in fact, just as puzzled as you were. She points out what may have been a control panel covered in flickering lights. She states that her top scientists have discovered the device can only be operated by a human, and she wanted to know if you can attempt to figure out what this strange device does. You think about what she says, and something doesn't seem quite right to you. You struggle to remember what it was. Do you:
a) Ask her how she knew you were a human, because after all, your current form is that of a pony.
b) Forget what it was you were trying to remember.
Option A – You ask Celestia how she knew you were a human, and whether there was any other information she was hiding from you. Celestia gives you a blank stare, and then quickly hits you on the head with a stainless steel watermelon. Your last thoughts as you head into the light are, “Was that a stainless steel watermelon?” You die. Start from beginning.
Option B – Celestia is now standing by the control panel and waiting for you. You step bravely towards your destiny. You assume that figuring out this device will save the world somehow and Luna will fall in love you, but before you can get to work, nature calls. You ask Celestia where the bathroom is, and she tells you it is down the hall, third door on the left. You quickly run out and enter said door. You pee. You pee a river. You wonder if all ponies pee rivers because you know for a fact you have never peed this much before in your life. After what seems like a whole ten minutes, you wash up and head back out again. Strangely, all outside is now completely dark. You call out to Princess Celestia, but no one answers you. You try to find your way back to the room with the device, but you have no luck. Suddenly, you here a soft voice called your real name from behind you. You turn around, and in the darkness you see your love. Princess Luna stands gloriously in front of you, here image clearly displayed despite the darkness all around. You call out to her, professing your undying love, and she blushes coyly. She beckons you over, and you gracefully strut by her side. As you draw near, she moves in close, as if to whisper something in your ear, but she trips over something in the dark. You are able to catch her as she falls, as if in one of those romance movies you have seen. You stare into each other’s eyes for a short time. Her mane wafts gently in the breeze. She smells like your favourite cereal, Froot Loops. She whispers your name softly, and you lean in for the kiss. Do you:
a) Kiss her.
b) Do anything else that isn't option A.
Option A – You are just about to lock lips with your one true love, when suddenly, due to interesting and strangely hilarious circumstances, you die. Start from beginning.
Option B – You wake up. You quickly look all around you and check your body. You are in your home, and once again, human. You realize now that what you had just experienced was a dream. More importantly than that, however, you realized you are a very boring person. Honestly, who goes through a whole choose your own adventure, picking option B all the time? You decide that next time you dream you’ll try being a little more creative. Go to sleep. Start from beginning.
