I woke up feeling amazing. I had never slept that well ever. I looked at the clock. 8:00. Looking out the window I saw sunlight streaming in. Holy crap! I just slept for over 19 hours! "That has got to be the longest sleeping binge you have ever pulled off, Curtis." I said to myself. I got up, did my normal morning stretches, then considered going back to bed until noon. "No. It would probably be best to break that habit, especially while in a new place." I told myself. Then I smelled something familiar. Something orgasmic. BACON! I could definitely go for some breakfast.
Walking downstairs, I saw Twilight sitting at the table, reading a rather large book, while Spike was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. "Good morning, Curtis." Twilight called from the table. "I take it you slept well." I nodded my head in reply. "Yea, I think that it was kind of rude of me, sleeping as long as I did in someone else's home. I don't know why I slept that long."
"It could have something to do with being removed from your world. You may have had more energy drained from you, than you may have known." Twilight stated, scientifically. "Anyways, Rarity dropped by this morning to deliver your new clothes, in case you feel like changing before breakfast." "Thanks. You don't mind if I use your shower, do you?" I asked. "Go right ahead. Fourth door on the left upstairs." Nodding my head in thanks, I grabbed some of the clothes and headed upstairs.
I walked into the bathroom, locked the door, and proceeded to turn on the water. Thankfully, plumbing appeared to work exactly the same way in Equestria as in America. I looked at all the different bottles that lined the tub, I read the labels. 'Women.' I thought to myself. 'Why the hell do they need so much stuff in the bathroom? All I need is shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, and shaving cream. Look at all this: mane shampoo, coat shapoo, conditioner, lotions, who needs all this stuff?' Stripping down, I got in, the warm water splashing onto my face. That was nice. Just like taking a shower at home. Just like at home, I lost myself in thought. Random stuff, y'know. Shower thoughts.
Feeling satisfied, I got out, dried off, and put on some of my fresh clothes. Dropping off my dirty stuff back at my room, I headed back downstairs. By now, Spike had just finished cooking, and him and Twilight sat there patiently waiting for me. I sat down at my plate, and began to eat. Waffles, eggs, and bacon. That was definitely better than my usual breakfast of cereal. "So, Curtis, do you have any plans for today?" Twilight asked. I pondered her question for a bit. "I was thinkin' that maybe I should have a look around town, get a better feel for the place and the people. I don't know how long I'll be here, so I might as well make a few friends." I answered.
"Well, since you're going out, do you mind running a few errands for me please?"Twilight asked. "Sure, why not?" I said. "It's the least I can do for you letting me stay here."
"Okay, great!" She said, levitating a list and a bag of money over towards me. 'Buy more quills and ink, buy a dozen of red delicious apples, buy bread, pick up delivery from post office.' I read. "Well, I'd better get started then. Thank you for breakfast." I said, getting up from the table. I walked out the front door into the cool morning air. Some snow had fallen since yesterday, so I walked carefully, so I wouldn't slip.
I walked to the closest place on the list: the post office. Walking into the small building, I noticed a lack of ponies in here. Walking up to the front counter, I rang the bell for assistance. It was answered by a gray Pegasus with a blonde mane. "Uh, I'm here to pick up something for Twilight Sparkle." I said. Her eyes were staring off in different directions, one looking at me, the other looking at the ceieling. Coming to, she shook her head. "Sorry, sir. I zoned out for a second. Wait here while I get her package." She flew off, and came back in a matter of about a minute. "Here's Miss Twilight's package, sir." She said, dropping the brown parcel onto the counter. "Tell her I said hi!" She called after me.
Checking that off the list, I decided to go get the apples. Walking to the apple stand in the market, I was greeted by a familiar voice. "Well hey there, Curtis! You havin' a look around town? Just let me know if you need anything." Applejack said smiling. "Actually " I said. "Twilight needs a dozen of these red delicious."
"T'aint a problem, we got plenty of em. Let me just get y'all a b-" Applejack was interrupted by a large crash coming fromanother stand. "APPLEBLOOM!" I thought I told y'all to go play somewhere else! Ponies are trying to shop here! Help clean up that nice stallion's stand, and go someplace else." A light brown stallion with a dark mane began to pick up some of his wares. He had a hourglass on his flank. My inner nerd was raging.
"Doctor!" I shouted. He looked up. "How do you know my name?" He asked. Crap. How do I explain this. "Uh, I know a thing or two about who you are, Doctor. I also know a thing or two about alternate universes. Unfortunately I'm not here on purpose. Not all of us are lucky enough to own a TARDIS." I said. He began to look nervous. I was onto him. "Oh would you look at that, my laundry is calling." He said before galloping off. Hehe, I knew he was a Timelord.
"What in the hay was that about?" Applejack asked to nopony in particular. "Whelp, here's them apples Twilight wanted. Give her my regards." "Thanks!" I said, turning to leave.
About an hour later, I returned to the library, finished with the errands. Walking in, I placed the bags on the counter. "Hey, Curtis. Find your way around alright?" Twilight asked, looking up from her desk. "Yes I did, Twilight. Did you know there's a Timelord in Ponyville?" I said. "Yes, actually I do. He think nopony in town knows, but a few of us have caught on. He still insists on keeping it a secret. Weird guy." She replied. "Oh, and while you were gone, a letter arrived for you." She said, levitating a crook over to me. Unrolling it, I began to read.
'Dear Mr. Curtis,
You have been summoned to meet with Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia of Equestria. A carriage will arrive to pick you up at 10 am sharp tomorrow morning.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia of Equestria'
