Dark . . .why was it so dark ? I fumbled around for a bit, there was no light from the moon. Then again , I knew it wasn't night, I knew exactly where, and what I was, dead. I could float forever if I wanted to, never touching or reaching any- "OW!" What was that? Even when im dead I can feel pain? No, that shouldn't be, moving my eyes told me something was covering them, cloth, maybe, I was going to figure out what was going on. Maybe, hopefully, I was being punked, yeah, all of this was some big elaborate prank, and I'm gonna meet Tracy Morgan backstage. . .right? Try as I did I couldn't move my hands, it was as if I had forgotten how to work my own body.
Seemed that speaking wasn't possible either, because my mouth wouldn't open or close, all throughout my entire being I wanted to be free, I wanted to know where I was ,and I wanted to go home. The back of my spine arched, my body! it was responding! My head laid back and I felt a tingling, then a lot of heat, the cloth wrapped around my eyes burned away instantly, but I had no burns on me.
In the beginning there was nothing, and someone said "let there be light", BUT THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BLINDING ME WITH IT! Took me a full minute for my eyes to adjust to the room's light, it had been put directly in my face, like one of those dentist chair lights, except it was replaced with high beams from a Mercedes Benz.
This light annoyed me, it hurt my eyes, all it required was me putting my hand up to block the light with my hands, and it shattered, the smoke rose up through the ceiling, but unless these people had bloodhounds I wasn't very worried about that. Now to get a look at the room, as I sat up, I took it all in, bookshelves, books, scrolls? Oddly enough I knew this place, I had been here before, I don't think I was here directly though, but then why would i remember this place?

Twilight and spikes side of the story
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Apparently, spike smelled smoke coming from somewhere downstairs, " Oh no, Patient 01!". Normally Twilight would have been fine with that name, but after Dash ribbed her about it she resigned to give it a better name . . .eventually. She fixed her hair as best she could and ran down the stairs, right behind spike. Sitting there flexing its arms was some strange , creature, thing.
Apparently it hadn't noticed them yet, Twilight wondered how because she and Spike had just RUN down the stairs. "What do you think it is Twilight?". If there was anything strange or unexplainable going on in Equestria, chances were that Twilight had read a book on the subject, thrice. Unfortunately for both of them she hadn't, and was now at a loss for words
" I . .I . . I-I don't know spike " She whispered back. " You don't know ?! What do you mean you don't know !?" He yell- whispered back, which was as redundant as stealing a jewel and arming the alarm as you left. Twilight's eyes grew wide with uncertainty, " I meant just that, I really don't know what it is, but if we ask it, maybe it will tell us".
Twilight slowly approached the strange creature, slightly excited as she did, ever curious of things she had never heard of. "Twilight! don't get near that thing, it might hurt you!" it seems his loud whispers of warning did nothing to deter the young woman from her lust for knowledge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to my perspective
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was sitting up now, swinging my legs and clenching my fists, I still couldn't hear a single sound. my hearing was definitely shot. My head still hurt, and images of a man, the one who shot me own from the sky, were still blaring in my mind, making the pain worse. Being caught up in the pain from my head, none of my senses turned to the purple young girl who was now standing to my left, eyes wide like a toddler who caught a glimpse of his next piece of candy.
She was about 5'9, her appearance caused me to freak out and fall off the side of whatever I was sitting on, turns out it was an examination table."Wh-Wh-WHY!? Why are you naked!?" I shouted, hiding from behind the table, I'd seen horror movies, random naked girl? always kills the stupid pervert guy.
"Naked?" she said with her head tilted, she was obviously confused.
Getting a better look at her, what kind of perverted anime con had I walked into, this girl had spray painted her body pinkish purple, dyed her hair purple and pink, and tied wings to her back. Despite the fact I was scared out of my mind right now, I had to give this girl credit that her body did look really good, she had these perky B-cups, I tried to avoid looking at them, but I'm a guy, and my eyes were listening to my other head right now, luckily she couldn't see that part of me because i was crouched behind the table.
" Yea! naked! You aren't wearing any clothes, normal people dont just walk through their house naked!" I yelled from behind the corner, okay, I admit it, now i was definitely staring. but its not like I'll ever have this happen again, so why not?
"I don't know exactly what normal is where you come from, but here we only wear clothes as a special occasion, unless of course, where you come from this is a special occasion?"
Great, juuust great, I somehow wandered into a nudist colony, then again, when you grow up around everyone else naked, it doesn't seem as sexual to you I suppose.
" N-No, but still this is weird, who even are you anyway?" I was less afraid of her now, she seemed serious an matter of factly about everything she was saying, oddly enough, it wasnt helping my situation downstairs so I stayed crouched.
"I am princess Twiligh-" "No, really , who are you? this joke stopped being funny 10 minutes ago" I interrupted her, yes it was rude but I was tired of playing these role playing games.
Visibly fuming, the young woman was obviously insulted. Maybe she thought I was playing her game wrong or something?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight's view
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Naked ? " I had never even heard such a word before. Using my translation magic, I could hear everything he was saying in Equine, but certain words just sounded like nonsense to me, probably something in his language.
Apparently wherever he was from, the social norm was to always be wearing clothes, I didnt see much sense in that, but from the look his face wore, he was obviously disturbed by the social norms here as well. Just where exactly was this creature from?
I tried to tell him my name, when he asked it, but he insulted me! I'm royalty and he insults me with disbelief?! After I took care of him in my home no less.
" I don't know how you introduce yourself where you're from, friend, but here we introduce ourselves first and then ask the other pony's name."
"I'm not a pony, I'm a human"
I'd never seen a "human" before, he looked a little bit like big macintosh, only skinny, with greasy hair, pale skin, and a bit of a dull look. In fact he was rather unimpressive altogether, I seriously doubted he tamed lightning and rode it down to ponyville. The only redeeming thing about him really, was his face, not ruggedly handsome like Macintosh, or charmingly handsome like a prince. Cute, was more the way I'd describe him, like a colt all the fillies would fawn over, he looked pretty young as well. maybe a colt in our age system.
" What exactly is a human? Do they all look the same? "
He seemed mad, like I had offended him or something, is asking questions banned where he comes from or did i say something rude?
" No, "Twilight" we do not all look the same, everyone looks a little bit different, some alot more, some a little less.
The way he said my named bothered me, it was like he was calling me a liar to my face, I was honestly trying to be as hospitable as possible about this, but this human was making it really difficult.
" Why do you keep saying my name like that? you say it like I have a reason to lie about who I am, no other pony in all of Equestria looks like me, has my cutie mark, my talent with magic or a cutie mark like mine, not to mention a dragon for a friend as great as spike.."
The human's eyes got wide when his attention turned to spike, apparently he didnt have dragons where it came from either. Its home seemed relatively tame now, either that or he was VERY sheltered from things for his whole life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And back to my view of things again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a dragon ! a real life dragon, with smoke fuming out of his nose and everything! I wasn't convinced at first, i thought it was just wicked make up ,and some body paint. but when he opened his mouth to talk, smoke rolled out, and he looked pretty pissed at me.
When the girl called out to him I realized what had been right in front of my face.
"What is it spike?"
I realized exactly what was going on immediately, it was like logic, my eyes, and my 8 year old self were having an argument in my head. I couldn't believe where I was, and all the reasoning in my brain didn't want to believe where I was, but my logic didn't apply here, I was at the mercy of this world's logic and physics.
"So you're really Twilight sparkle? If you're really Twilight then prove it, show me some magic, and I'll believe you"
Spike turned his attention to me, I took to calling him Spike prematurely because secretly i already knew where I was, I was in Twilight's home.
"Okay, but in return you have to tell me everything you can remember about yourself , including how you got here, alright?"
"Thats fair I guess. . ."
A horn on top of Twilight's head glowed with pink energy, after about 3 seconds my upper lip started to itch, and within 10 I had a fully grown mustache.
"This is the same magic you tested on spike when you first came to ponyville!"
Both of them now inched towards me, speaking over each other and asking me multiple questions
"How do you know that? Where did you come from? Are you the one responsible for creating that storm?How long have you been watching us?"
Talking was a non option for me, so i just waited for them to run out of questions, or breath, either one worked for me. Though, when I thought that, the oxygen in the room all gathered around me, pulling itself out of their lungs, I freaked out of course, and when I did the oxygen returned to them.
" Jeezis! I'm sorry I'm sorry I swear I didn't mean to do that, weird stuff like this has been happening since that dragon eagle thing showed up!"
Unanimously now a single word passed from their lips "Discord . . ." From the way they sai it I could tell that their encounters with him weren't all that *pleasant* either.
I tried my best to explain to them where I came from, how I was shot out of the sky by another one of my kind ( I left out the blue aura part). I told them the reason I knew a few things about them, the entire truth, in my world all of them were nothing more than moving picture images, and they were in fact imaginary in my world, yet famous.
Spike sat on a stair rubbing his head, the guy looked like he was trying to put a puzzle piece somewhere it didn't fit and he couldn't see why. Twilight on the other hand, had an odd smile "Then this proves me right !!" she was giggling and bouncy, it was the middle of the night, she was naked, and yet here she was bouncing and giggly!
She sat her desk, with a mad grin on her face and started writing on some odd scroll looking thing she had pulled out from a high bookshelf, when she finished that she pulled out a piece of paper and started writing again.
"Not to be rude Twilight, I'm sure you got enough of that from me already, but what exactly are you so giddy about, and what was in that scroll."
She doesn't answer me at first, in fact she walks right past me, and hands the roll of paper to spike, who instantly burned it up-wait, no he didn't burn it, he sent it somewhere. "Did that letter just go to princess Celestia?" I hoped she wouldn't ignore me this time.
She turned her head to me, finally giving me some attention, heh, that sounds pornographic.
"Oh! I'm sorry, some times I get so wrapped up in my work. The scroll was . ..ermm, a theory of sorts, no one believes me yet, but I was right about nightmare mo-Pincess Luna, and I was right about you so I can firmly say Im right about this too. I guess you know about spike being my little delivery system too huh?"
A burp echoes in the room for a moment, and spikes eyes grow wide when he reads the note " Uhhh Twilight? you should come read this"
Unbeknownst to me the letter read out
" So the "Human" has finally woken up? Excellent, I have to come see him for myself, It is of the utmost importance you do not let him out of your sight at any time under any circumstance! Myself and Luna will arrive at noon tomorrow, I trust you can handle this yourself, you were my student at one time after all.
~Celestia"
They both looked at me with a strange wide eyed gaze. I returned their stares with one word only "What?"
