Day 1
One day I was walking home from work, I don't own a car so walking is my prefered mode of locomotion, (also it's free!) when out of no where, while crossing the street, I get nailed by some jack ass in an el camino!
Don't text and drive kids.
The last thing I remember was the sound of screeching tires, bright lights, and what felt like Thors hammer impacting my everything. Then darkness.
Lots and lots of darkness.
"What a shame, so much life left in this one."
"Who said that?" I try to look around for the voice but it's completely dark, and I appear to be immobile.
"I don't normally do this, but, seeing as it wasn't really your time I am willing to make you an offer." The gender neutral voice says.
"So I am dead?"
"Yes and no, you're sort of in a limbo of sorts, I'm afraid that you were 'ended' before you were meant to."
"Wow...that sucks." I try to wrap my mind around the fact that this voice just told me I died...well it's probably the second weirdest thing to ever happen to me, not counting that one time in Vegas...no not gonna tell, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Word to the wise NEVER take a pill some dude in a club gives you that you've never met.
"You said something about an offer?"
"Indeed, if I were to leave you like this you'd float around here in the void until your designated time, which isn't for a long while from now. Or I could send you some where else to live out your life to its designated end. Your choice."
Well gee I wonder which it'll be? "I'll go with door number two Alex."
"*chuckle* Alright then, again I'm sorry for you dying and everything. This is the first time it's happened in almost a milenia. You'll have your old body back with everything you had on you when you died, unfortunately you will have absolutely no way of returning to your world,as you no longer exist there, are you sure this is what you want?"
"No need to apologize, it's not your fault some douche on his phone ignored a red light, and yes I'm sure. I didn't really have much going for me in life anyway, dead end job, no living relatives, I only had like two people I could call friends and even then only just."
"Then it's settled, live well." And with that my consciousness fades again.
MEANWHILE IN TWILIGHT SPARKLES LIBRARY! (must be read in the super friends announcers voice)
Twilight was sitting at her desk reading a book, entitled "Humans, the Myth, the Legend", that she borrowed from Lyra.
"Hmm interesting, according to this book humans are omnivores." The scholar notes to nopony in particular.
"This certainly is an interesting read, even if it's just fairytials and make believe, I wonder who it was that dreamed up humans anyway?" She closes the book and walks towards the stairs leading up to her room.
"Spike!" Silence.
"Spike!!!" Silence again.
"SPIKE!!!"
"What?!?" Spike calls out to her from behind her. Having just come out of the kitchen.
"Oh there you are. I need you to return this book to Lyra please." She asks her draconian assistant as she levitates the book towards him.
"Ok, but then you have to go in the kitchen and keep an eye on the stove, we're having spaghetti and hayballs tonight." Spike replies as he grabs the book out of the air.
"Oh yum, I love your spaghetti and hayballs. I'll keep an eye on it, so please make sure Lyra gets the book back, and tell her I said thanks for lending it to me it was an...interesting read." She trots off into the kitchen to watch the pot of noodles.
"I'll be right back." Spike walks out the door only to stop and peek his head back in. "And don't eat it all before I get back...again."
"I wont." Twilight replies from the kitchen rolling her eyes.
MEANWHILE IN THE EVERFREE FOREST!
"Ugh, my head, the hell happened?" I start to slowly sit up.
I looked around at my new surroundings. I was in a dense forest of some kind, so dense there was almost no sunlight coming through the tree tops at all. But what little was coming through allowed me to better survey my surroundings.
'Now how the hell did I wind up here?' I question myself.
"Oh right I died...hehe." I try to stand but when I get my legs under me and try to push myself up I end up launching myself into the air a good ten feet.
"OH SHIT!" Suddenly the ground decides that it and my face are to be good friends, as I plop back onto the dirt with a thud.
"Son of a..." I try to lift my self up again with my arms, but like last time I end up launching myself into the air backwards this time into a tree. Shaking it with the impact causing some leaves to fall.
"This is getting ridiculous." I say out loud as I slide down the tree and come to a rest at its base on my feet.
I slowly take a step forward using as little force as possible. My foot makes contact with the ground and I slowly shift my weight to it and lift my other foot. I could feel myself lifting up a bit so I lowered the amount of force in the motion again. Soon I am able to compensate for the sudden onset of 'what the fuckery' and start slowly making my way through the trees, careful not to use too much force while walking so I don't end up vaulting my self into another tree. Which surprisingly didn't hurt as much as slamming into a tree should.
"Okay, re-learn how to walk? Check, now where the hell am I?" I start looking around the forest as I trudge on through the undergrowth.
I begin running everything that's happened through my head.
'I am walking home and get hit by shit wad and die.' I accidently bump into a small tree ripping it from its roots a bit.
'Huh? that shouldn't happen.' I continue walking in a straight line careful to avoid trees.
'Then, I am presuming death, tells me I wasn't meant to die and offers me a new life in another world. Wake up and am now super strong.'
I look at another tree and decide to see how strong. I gingerly walk towards it and reel back my fist. I bring my fist forward making contact with the tree with as much strength as I could, comlpetely shattering the poor piece of flora.
"Well shit." Is all I'm able to mutter as I stare at the shards of what was once a tree. 'So somehow I am super freaking strong here, and I didn't even feel any pain from punching a tree.'
"Well now this is an interesting development." I whisper to myself not noticing the three pairs of eyes watching me from a bush.
Applejack, Scootaloo, and Sweetie belle were on their way to Zecoras to try their hand at a potion making cutie mark again. When they suddenly hear a loud thud followed by what sounded like muffled screaming.
"What do ya s'pose that was?" Applebloom asks looking towards her fellow crusaders.
"I don't know but I bet if we check it out and find a new animal we'll get our cutie marks in animal discovery." Scootaloo replies with an excited glimmer in her eye.
"I don't know what if it's a dangerous animal?" Sweetie Belle looks towards the direction the sound came from and hears another thud.
"Well there's only one way ta find out." Applebloom says as she starts slowly making her way to the source of the sound.
When the crusaders finally make it to the source their eyes shoot open. there in a small clearing was a large creature that stood on two legs. It was really tall, and seemed to be hairless except for the top of its head which had a short black mane. It also seemed to be wearing clothing, a black top that covered its entire torso but stopped at the elbow on its front limbs, and a dark blue material that covered its entire lower half. It also had claws like Spike did only they weren't sharp. It was making deliberately slow steps forward, and the crusaders followed close behind.
After a few minutes of walking the creature stops and walks over to a good sized tree. The crusaders see it look the tree up and down then pull one of its front limbs back and hits the tree, completely shattering it into a cloud of dust and splinters, sending the top of the tree crashing to the ground and a jagged stump where a once proud tree stood.
Their eyes were wide open in shock, what ever this thing was it was absurdly strong. Even Big Mac wouldn't be able to shatter a tree that big as if it were nothing. Yet this creature just destroyed a tree and didn't even look like it broke a sweat. The crusaders were freaking out at this point, what if this thing got to Ponyville, there's no way they could stop it, and if it kept walking in this direction it'll reach Ponyville in no time. They quietly made their way ahead of the 'monster' and bolt towards Ponyville, they had to warn everypony about this thing.
BACK IN PONYVILLE
Spike was just heading back home from delivering the book back to Lyra, when a trio of panicked voices caught his attention.
"Girls?" Spike asks as he sees the crusaders quickly coming into his vision.
"Oh Spike! We gotta warn everypony, this scary monster we saw in the Everfree forest is heading straight for Ponyville!" Sweetie says in her high pitched voice right in his face, squeaking a bit towards the end.
"Yea and it's real strong, we saw it punch this tree into a bazillion pieces!" Scootaloo made a grandiose movement with her front hooves to emphasize the explosion.
"And it was real tall like, and had claws like yers but they weren't pointy or nothing." Applebloom added.
"Ok, ok, calm down. So scary tall super strong monster is on its way to Ponyville, possibly tartarus bent on total destruction?" Spike looked at the trio and they nodded.
"Well that's not good." Spike began to panic as well. "C'mon let's go warn Twilight and the others I'm sure they can stop it."
"YEAH!" The crusaders cheered in unison as the four children ran off towards Twilights library.
EVERFREEE
I had been walking for a while now and was getting super BORED. I finally got the hang of moving around again, it was more like I had to take baby steps everywhere, and treat everything with kit gloves. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my Iphone, still fully charged, and start playing some music. I didn't have any head phones so I just let it play out loud. I start singing to the song as it starts.
Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Totally air guitared here.
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say:
Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say:
Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more NO!
More air guitar baby!
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more
The song comes to an end and I shut the Iphone off as I see a clearing just ahead, and what seems to be a cozy little cottage.
'Oh look civilization, finally some one to talk to.' I head over to the building and see a multitude of animals running around.
Ok now before I continue I want it to be known that I am a man. A MANLY MAN!!!
"Oooohhh a bunny!" I say totally without a girlish squeel as I rush over to a nearby bunny nibbling on a carrot. The poor thing never saw me coming, as I scooped it up and began to hug it with as little force possible else I have a bunny pancake in my arms.
Ok so I like cute things. Sue me. I've always had a huge soft spot for cute things from babies, to animals, to baby animals. I can't even hunt because I think the deer are too cute to shoot. Don't get me wrong I still eat meat, just I could never harm another living creature of my own free will with out due reason.
"Oh you are just the most precious little thing I have ever seen." I squeel as I hug the little bunny. The whole while it was thrashing about trying to get free from my vice like grip.
"Uh...um...excuse me?"
"Huh I could have sworn I just heard something." I look around a bit but don't notice anything, and go back to the bunny. SO FLUFFY!!!
"um... if you don't mind, could you...put him down....if you want that is..."
"Ok now I know I heard something, was it a mouse? Ooh I want to pet it!" I turn around excitedly dropping the bunny to look for my new cuddly friend. I look down and see quite possibly the most adorable thing in the history of anything EVER!!!
It was a little pony, but not just any kind of pony, a butter yellow pony with wings. A pegasus? It had a beautiful long pink mane, and mesmerizing blue eyes that seemed too big for its head. It looked so invitingly fluffy I just had to hug it till I died. And so I hugged it.
"OHMYGOD!!! You're the cutest thing that has ever existed and I am going to hug you until my heart explodes from adorableness!!!" I squee like I've never squeed before.
I look down at my new bestest cuddle friend and see that it's unconscious. I look towards the cottage and make my way over to it. I gently nudge the door open with my foot but end up using too much force and accidently kick it off its hinges. I wince as I hear the crunch of the door hitting the opposite wall and have to duck in order to enter the humble abode. The interior was just like the exterior, humble and practicle. Not much in the way of furniture and no pictures or anything adorning the walls.
"Man whoever lives here must be really short." I take a look around and see several little animals scamper off into tiny houses.
"And loves animals more than I do." I notice a little couch sitting near the center of the room and move over to it and place the little pegasus on it gently.
"I'm sorry for scaring you little pony." I whisper as I gently pet its mane out of its face.
I start taking a better look at it and notice it to be female. There was also a strange mark, almost like a tattoo on her flank, of a trio of pink butterflies. Her wings were soft to the touch and looked way too small to actually lift her up.
Although she could have been alot lighter than I thought. My whole sense of weight has been thrown off since I got here, almost everything is lighter and weaker than I'd imagine it to be.
"I don't want to scare the poor thing anymore than I already have, I should go before she wakes up, her owner will be able to take care of her."
I make my way to the door and notice a quill and stack of paper on a drawer near the door. I pick it up and write down a note before placing it on the drawer.
'I don't even know if who ever lives here can read this but it'd be rude of me not to leave an apology of some kind.' I think to myself as I make my way outside. I notice what looks like a dirt road leading away from the cottage and decide to follow it.
'Maybe I'll finally meet someone to talk to.'
A FEW MINUTES LATER IN FLUTTERSHY'S HOUSE
Fluttershy was just starting to wake up. She looked around groggily before she noticed her door was smashed against her wall. She was frantically looking around having finally remembered the creature that she saw hugging Angel bunny outside. It picked her up so suddenly that she fainted right on the spot.
"Oh my, how'd I get inside, what happened to my door, what was that thing, and where's Angel?" She was starting to panic, what if the weird creature had eaten him?
Just as she was about to hyperventilate she was smacked with a fluffy little paw, to bring her back to her senses. She looked to her side and saw Angel bunny stomping his foot impatiently.
"Oh Angel Bunny I'm so glad you're safe, what's that in your paw?" She looked at the piece of paper Angel was holding and he showed it to her.
"Sorry for breaking your door and making your cute pegasus faint. Sincerely the stranger that hugged your bunny and pony." She read aloud.
Fluttershy blinked twice before having to re-read the letter again just to make sure she hadn't mis-read it. After reading it a couple more times she blushed a little, what ever this thing was it seemed friendly. But what puzzled her more was how the letter was written, it almost sounded like whatever it was thought she was somepony elses pet. She shook her head once and grabbed the letter and rolled it up before galloping out her door towards Ponyville.
"I'm sure Twilight will know something about that weird creature." She then remembered how it said she was cute in its letter and had to shake a light blush off her face again.
