Darkness, it was all I could see. ‘Where am I? This isn’t Ponyville.’ Suddenly you see a small white light in front of you. The light starts to get bigger and brighter as you go, what appears to be, fly closer to it. Then, when you get almost an inch near it, it becomes so bright, it looks like it could blind you. ‘Why is it so bright, why can’t I hear anything, what’s going on?!’ Suddenly the light begins to fade, you see some colors and hear some sounds. You try to speak, but your lips do not respond. You feel like something’s poking you, with a stick. You start to see more clearly, you see something orange, yellow and white standing next to you.
“Is it dead?” – said a strange voice.
“No dummy, can’t you see? It’s breathing and looking at us.” – another voice quickly responded.
“You know, we should tell somepony about this.”
‘Wait, I know those voices’ Your vision finally clears up, and you can hear properly. ‘It’s the cutie mark crusaders!’ You quickly gasp for air. As you do that, the cutie mark crusaders get startled and back away shacking in fear. You stand up, and look around, you’re near sweet apple acres. ‘Great, that means I succeeded, I’m in Equestria!’ You turn your head to the cutie mark crusaders who are still shaking in fear. You look down. ‘I’m still human!’ Yes, you’re still a human, and no pony has ever seen a human before, or at least that’s what you thought. Not long after, you hear hoof steps, as you look behind, you see a beautiful mare with an orange coat and a yellow mane approach you, it wasn’t long until you realized that that mare was Applejack and that she was not walking, she was running towards you with an angry look on her face. You quickly lifted your arms in front of you and shouted.
“No, Applejack! Wa-“
You were too late, and Applejack tackled you, you fell and curled up out of the pain. Meanwhile Applejack grabbed a rope from her bag and tied you up so you couldn’t stand up. She walks around you for what felt like 20 seconds. Then she looked you in the eyes and with an angry expression asked you a question.
“Who are you?!”
“Hi, my name is John, and I’m a human.”
“A hu-…hu- ?”
“A human! I think you’ve never seen one until now?”
“Anyway why are ya here at the farm? What do you want from my lil’ sis?”
The cutie mark crusaders were not shaking in fear anymore, they were just standing near Applejack and kept looking at you.
“I don’t know why I’m here at the farm, I just appeared here that’s all there is to it. And by the way, I woke up, to your sisters friends poking me with a stick.”
“Applebloom, can you with yer friends get Twilight for me?”
“Ok sis, anything for you, be back soon!”
The cutie mark crusaders fled to get Twilight, while you were dragged by the ground to her barn. ‘Argh, why do I have to go through all of this, I thought you can control your dreams when you’re lucid dreaming. Oh well, I guess you can’t, I’ll just try and imagine Applejack letting me loose.’ As soon as Applejack dragged you to the barn she looked at you curiously.
“Can I trust ya?”
‘Did she just said, what I think she did?’
“Yes, yes you can.”
“No, no, I can’t you’ll just run away or even attack me.”
“What? No! I would never do such a thing.”
She starts to doubt herself, and is constantly moving her hooves.
“Oh Celestia I know I’ll pay for this, but…”
She comes closer to you, and begins to untie you. After she unties you, you slowly stand up. ‘Wow, I guess you can control your dream while lucid dreaming.’ You think to yourself. Applejack starts to sweat, ready to tie you up again if you do any sudden moves. You just walk back a little and sit on a hay stack. Applejack lowers her rope, and comes closer to you.
“I’m very sorry sugar cube, it’s just that I’ve never in my whole life seen a creature like you here, I was just being careful, I thought you were going to hurt my lil sis there, can you forgive me?”
“Sure I forgive you, I would have done the same thing if I were in your shoe… I mean hooves.”
Just seconds after you said that you hear ponies approaching the barn. ‘The cutie mark crusaders finally got Twilight to come over here.’ Twilight rushed in to the barn. She stopped near us to catch her breath. ‘Looks like she was running all the time.’ After her breathing brake, Twilight looked at you and asked:
“Is this that creature you want me to investigate?”
“Yes, mighty thanks to ya Twilight.”
“Oh it’s nothing at all, really.”
Twilight slowly approaches you, and keeps looking at you.
“Hm, I’ve never seen anything like this, what is this creature? Can it speak? Is it intelligent? I have so many questions right now.”
You can’t take it, enough being silent.
“Hi, I’m John, I’m also a human, not a creature, a human, and yes, I am an intelligent creature.”
Twilight gasps.
“This is just perfect! I have to write to Princess Celestia right away and inform her of your discovery Applejack.
Applejack spoke up.
“Twilight, can this wait for tomorrow? I mean it’s 7 pm, the Princess is probably busy right now, we can write to her t’morow mornin’. What do ya say sugarcube?”
“Well I guess it can wait till tomorrow morning, but where will he sleep, well he can sleep in the barn, I don’t really think he’ll escape.”
She turns her head to you.
“I mean if it’s ok to ya?”
“Sure, I’ll stay here if you want me to, I don’t really have anything else to do here.”
‘What a lie that was, I’ve got plenty to do here! But I just have to become their friends, and I fear this Is the only way in succeeding it.’ After some time Applejack and Twilight decide it will be best to leave you here alone in the barn. As they left you heard some cranky noises. ‘Oh, so both of them locked me in, great, just great.’
You lied down on a hay stack and figured you’ll go to sleep. ‘Ha, I wonder what will happen if I sleep now? Nothing probably, I’ll just wake up at home, in my bed, yah that’s what will happen.’ You close your eyes and go to sleep.
You wake up. You sit up straight, rub your eyes, and then slowly open them.
“Ugh, what time is it?, Mom! Mom, why are we in a far…”
You cut off you’re sentence noticing that you are not at home, in bed, you’re still in Applejacks barn! You start to worry a little bit. ‘It’s nothing, well shucks, I’m in Equestria! Why should I worry?’
You hear somepony coming.
“Is he still asleep?”
“I don’t know, let’s check him again.”
The barn door opens revealing everypony from the mane six standing there.
“Oh, he’s awake now”
This voice was familiar to you, as you look closer at it, you see Princess Celestia coming to you.
“Oh my god!" – you burst with joy.
“Is something wrong?” – said the Princess herself.
“No, no, everything’s perfect.”
You quickly bow to her, noticing she was very serious.
“So, you’re the creature, or “human” I’ve been hearing about?”
“Yes I am.”
“Why are you here human?”
“To tell you the truth, I don’t know.”
“Ok, do you know how did you got here?”
“Well, one second, I was in my bed, in my world, then after I fell asleep, I woken up here, I sweet apple a… I mean here!”
“Wait, you know the name of this place?” – Princess Celestia asked suspiciously.
“Hey, now wait a second!” – said Applejack.
“I remember him shouting out my name when I ran towards him.”
“Explain yourself! Now!” – said Celestia in an angry voice.
“You may want to sit down, this is gong to be a long story.” – you say that with a frown on your face.
As everyone sits down, you quickly collect your thoughts, sit down with them, and begin to explain.
It took you half an hour to explain everything, but they now know why you know so much about them. Princess Celestia stood up and asked:
“What is your name? I think you didn’t tell me.”
“My names John, why did you want to know?”
“Well, John I think ill let you stay here for a while until I decide what to do with you here, but you must stay here, and only here, don’t want to scare the other ponies in town. That is if Applejack is ok with you being here, or I can take you to the castle dungeon in Canterlot.”
“That won’t be necessary princess, ill happily let him stay here.”
Applejack looks at you with a smile on her face, you smile back. You would think that this is a dream come true, well you fear of one thing. ‘This isn’t a dream anymore.’
