The streets of Canterlot became increasingly welcoming as night took over. Less ponies prancing around made it seem more open and less confined wherever you were. The ponies seemed nicer too. Maybe it was because I wasnt bumping into them all the time at that point but still. Frankly I'm surprised there were even ponies out. They always went inside at least a hour before actual night.
My mind wandered as I walked. 'How could this day had gone differently'? Well for starters I could have not insulted Celestia. Its true though, her world does stink. Its not my fault everything here is awful. She should feel bad about herself for ruling such a dumb world. I could have also waited for the flying carriage to take me back to Ponyville. Canterlot was lonely. Like...really lonely. I contemplated jumping back to Ponyville like I had from the castle balcony but then I remembered Twilight had said something about running out of magic eventually. If I ran out before healing after a jump like that even IF I had enough to jump, I'd be one sad pancake.
"Maybe I can call somepo--one. They have phones here, right?" I walked around.
"Nothing." I said as I searched every street corner within a 5 foot radius. "Alright. Maybe I can sort of telekineticly link with somepony--one and tell them I need help."
Buzzing thoughts turned to small ideas. I focused harder and harder on one pony and three words. The pony's images began to form. It was purple...with a fluffy rainbow mane...a stetson hat...it had butterflies on its butt and a purple curly tail. It looked familiar but I just dont remember having seen them before. At the time, a pony was a pony and I needed a way to Ponyville. If I didnt get help soon I might have been forced to UGH! knock on somepony's door!
"I'm...in...Canterlot...." I told the pony. It starred at me with its yellow eyes.
"BLERGER NAAAAAAAAAAHFGGDRIKESKN5E4895ZETLKHBJDRIOUYW45VO83q298yawb47it5i!!!!!!!!!!!!" It shouted at me
I focused even harder on what I wanted to say. Maybe the message hadnt gotten across. "I'm...stuck...in...Canterlot.... Please...help...."
"SHMERGDERNITANFURUEWBFKSDKRI882J2JHRJHBFIU8787UYuriubIU98787b5Btyth!!!!!"
My level of concentration was definitely over 9000 at that point. This was more focused than I had ever been in my entire life. "You...are...a...jerk.... I...would...not...engage...in...pleasant...conversation...with...you...."
The creature simply shrugged and faded to black. So much for that idea. The park benches looked pretty nice while I was passing them. I'd just have to sleep on one of them for the night. And thus, my adventure for a wooden bed ended as quickly as it had begun. In the distance was the castle. Castles had nice beds. Castles had to have nice beds. They were castles.
Alright, change of plans.
The stars above illuminated my path. Truly the nights here beautiful. Back on Earth, I never got to see the stars. They were always being blocked out by lights and houses and so on. The ponies here had the clearest sky ever to enjoy the nights and they went to sleep so early in spite of the grand displays Luna puts on for them. No wonder she turned evil. Man, that Celestia must be awful. Even I wouldnt exile my sister for a thousand years because
Sister.
Memories of family and friends flooded my head all at once. The life I had, the people I knew. I hadnt appreciated any of them or anything. Now look at me. Walking in a torn hospital robe and a stolen jacket, looking for a place to sleep. I was pathetic. My vigor drained from my feet into the ground with each step I took. Quickly all my will was gone. I would never see them again.
"Maybe a park bench isnt such a bad idea." I said to myself, starring at the ground.
I walked over to the park. Despite the signs clearly saying 'do not eat or lay on grass', I dropped down. The bench was too far away. I couldnt even drag myself a extra few feet.
Pathetic.
Why did I feel so low? It was as if my heart was ripped out of my body and along with it, my warmth. I was cold and shivering. Curled up in a ball and feeling like misery personified, I cried myself to sleep.
In The Morning
I woke up among a crowd of ponies. They were starring at me. Mocking me, stripping me with their eyes. My body was not ready! I got up and roared a mighty roar; 'Go away' I told them!
"Meh." My hand meekly slapped the ground.
Too much effort to get up. My hypothermia put me to sleep again. Not soon after did I wake up again in a pool of sweat. There must have been at least three suns under each armpit. My mouth was dry and my shivering was visibly shaking the ground. Now more than simple ponies crowded me. There were doctor ponies too, poking me and taking notes on clip boards.
"And you say this has been going on all day?" The doctor asked a pony.
"Since we got here this morning." They said.
"Interesting." His sentence became mumbles as I blacked out again.
I woke up. Twilight. Sleep. Wake up. Twilight and Fluttershy. Sleep. Wake up. All six of them. Sleep. Wake up. That jerk pony that yelled at me in my head. Sleep.
These lapses were torture. Every time I felt worse and worse, hot and cold, shaking and quaking. These ponies are cruel. They couldnt just kill me and get it over with. Whatever drug they put in me was taking its toll both mentally and physically.
Several Hours Later
Crystals. I was in a crystal field again. The bright blue skies warmed my skin nicely, not the burning from before. It was pleasant here. I used the crystals as a chair and sat. It was quite cold in contrast to the air. It was also...humming.
"Jaaaaaaaaa" it sounded.
"Thats nice." I relaxed into the nice, tough crystalline structure.
"Jaaaaaaaaadeeeeec" It hummed again.
"Oh come on not you again." I opened my eyes, realizing it was the same dream as before.
The crystal shook. Suddenly it grew out and around my hands and feet, holding me in place.
"What the!" I yanked at my restraints.
One small black crystal in the distance emitted a smoke. A...a shadow. It hovered towards me, gaining speed.
"I can give you power!" Green piercing eyes formed in the cloud.
"I can protect you!" A wicked smile with razor sharp teeth formed.
"LOOK FOR THE HORN!" A black and red horn grew as the shadow slammed into me.
"NO!" I screamed as I shot out of bed again. A nice soft bed in a tree. Twilight's house? Why was I in here?
The clip-clopping sound of hooves on wood echoed from the staircase. A purple pony with a purple mane, a blue pony with a rainbow mane, a yellow pony with a pink mane, a white pony with a purple mane, a pink pony with a pink mane, a orange pony with a yellow mane, and that jerk pony that yelled at me came running out of no where to see me.
"What happened?!" They all said in unison.
"BSKNARGERFLARBEREHF848VEJRHB987b789ybg97T87TVFUYF68Rr87r87r76iffytdvjjf!!!!!!!!!"
"Yeah F you too." I told it in protest.
They gave me confused looks.
