I sat in the cafe, my phones screen glowing as I scrolled down to web page. I was hunched up in the corner keeping the screen away from prying eyes.
I'm no one special, just a rather average teen with a quick wit that's gotten me in trouble a few times. I'm currently unemployed, single, and extremely bored. The only reason I'm in the cafe at the moment was because no one here recognized me. The reason I'm in the corner however is completely different. I'm a brony, I found the show a year back but was amazed at the fandom itself. Stories, art music, it all caught my attention. The only person who knew was my mother, who had busted out laughing when she found out. Not sure how I felt about that, but she promised not to tell anyone.
So I was alone in the corner reading a fanfic, because I'm paranoid.
At least I thought I was alone, a ferm tap on the shoulder caused me to jump and throw my phone up in the air. Before I could react a large burly hand whipped out and caught the device from the air.
"What do we have here?" A deep voice resonated from beside me, my head whirled around to see a beast of a man standing there looking at my phone.
Panic welled up in my chest, if he found out about me being a brony he'd mock me or hit me or get his friends to gang up on me. Then they'd tell everybody the knew and I'd become the laug-
"Hey I asked you a question." my focuse returned to the man in front of me.
"Huh?" I asked with a voice that would make fluttershy jealous. Actually scratch that, she'd probably hide in a bush or something.
"I said, who is best pony?" A grin slowly started to stretch across his face at seeing my confused expression.
"Um, twilight?"
He gave a hearty laugh at that taking a seat across from me and tossed my phone back to me, which I haphazardly caught. Turning it off and sliding it into my pocket, I turned my attention back to him. His grin made him look like he just won the lottery, and as friendly as it was, it only made me suspicious.
"Well let's get down to business shall we." Add some more confusion in their for a nice even blend and voila, me. "If you could, would you go to equestria and as what?"
My mouth moved before my mind did.
"Sure, just as long as I'm and awesome robot." I deadpanned. Remember that quick wit I told you about earlier, well it just got me punched in the face.
If only that guy had been joking.
::::::::::
I don't know how long I was unconscious but when I first woke up I couldn't see anything, or move for that matter. But I could hear, this didn't matter of course as I was having a mental break down.
'Oh my god, w-t-fuck, where am I, what happened, why can't I move?! Wait, that guy, he punched me! Oh crap am I paralyzed?! I don't want to be a vegetable, I don't even like carrots!'
The steady sound of clopping reached my ears, allowing my mind to focus on something other than being fed through a tube.
Accompaning it was what sounded like a herd of silent goat following the first set. I couldn't tell how many there were but if I took a guess I'd say around sixteen they stopped in front of me I could hear someone clear their throat before talking in an extremely bored tone.
"And here we have the hall of ancient machines. The the displays here go back to the romane empire. The display in front of you was found near equestria's borders. Magical scans have uncovered an extremely complicated system of gears and pulleys. Having no known origin archeologists have simply dubbed it the brass colt.
My vision flickered on only to be blinded by dozens of flashes. I flailed backwards earning as few gasp from the crowd in front of me.
Oh wait flailing, that means I can move,YAY. My back hit something only for it to give with the sound of shattering glass. A horrible clang accompanied my landing.
I could hear some one calling for guards, causing me to panic.
"Oh shit did I break someth-" I stop as some as heard my voice. It sounded wrong, as if I were speaking through a stereo. With the flashes gone I could finally get a look at my surroundings, which consisted of a ceiling a lot of broken glass and a crowd of ponies wearing tacky tourist clothes staring back in awe and horror.
Wait, what?
I blinked, yup ponies. I was still on the ground partilly hidden behind a Wooden stand. I glanced down at my...
Metal...
Hoof...
I screamed, the ponies screamed. I tried to stand but slipped around on the loose glass I saw two ponies start to stalk towards me as I finally gained my balanced. Heavy clanking accompanied the four metal hooves on the floor.
They looked ready to pounce, see here two pissed off unicorns in golden armor, brand new four legged metal body, and a crowd of scared tourist.
Despite this probably being the most traumatic experience of my life, I grinned. Let's see how fast I can get used to this body. I kicked a large chunk of glass at the guard on the right. The crystal shard soared towards him only to change course from a telekinetic toss. I rushed him while he was distracted. My new metal body plowed right through them, throwing them off to the side. I stumbled as I whirled around to face them again. They were already back up and braced for another impact. I stamped my hoof, cracking the tile beneath me. I stared them down, the tourist having fled from the room calling for more gaurds. They glance at each other as if unsure how to respond but held there ground. One stepped forward and cleared his throat.
"Stand do-"
I didn't give him a chance to finish, instead I bolted for the door. Leaving the shiny guards behind me.
Not what I had on mind but at least I'm not bored anymore.
