I couldn’t sleep. The buzzing sounds from the AC kept me awake, it’s the first time it does, really. I never had any problem sleeping with the AC on before. I looked at the watch on the opposite wall once more… 3: am… great, six more hours until twilight will perform more “tests” on me.
And when I say “tests” I mean ALL kinds of tests, blood tests, intelligence tests, physical tests and so on. But there was one test that I refused to do…
Talking.
Why? You may ask. Because it’s fucking hilarious! There is one thing you should know about me and it’s that I LOVE to mess with people… err, ponies in this case… and dragons. Ever since that day twilight saw that I had the intelligent that matched their own she started to light up like the candles on Christmas day.
Now that I think about it… she must’ve keeping the local knowledge of my existence to a minimum, if not non-existence. Because;
1. She does all this kinds of tests on me, which points out that her kind is not familiar with my species, which also points out that I might be in a different planet or I found a some kind of underground world that has been isolated from my world completely, now, the underground theory can only be confirmed if I see the sun or not…
2. It have accrued a few times that someone tries to contact Twilight during my… tests… which resulted in her being nervous and sometimes even freaks out…
3. During these weeks I have been here I have only met Twilight and Spike. I bet that if more knew about me I would’ve seen a lot more of those horses… or ponies… they look more like ponies… ponies it is. Horses freaks me out anyway.
I looked at the clock once more… 10 minutes past three… do I really think that fast? Hell, it felt like an eternity.
I wonder if someone noticed that I disappeared… my family… my girlfriend… oh my god… Veronica… I gotta find a way back home.
That does it, no more fooling around! Tomorrow… I will speak to Twilight. And she will tell me where I am and how I got here… I hope…
Celestias sun rose over the horizon and warmed everything under its glory. Its warm sunshine found its way through our favorite librarians window and brought light and warm to her room.
Twilight slowly opened her eyes but closed them fast due to the brightness, but she quickly adjusted her eyesight and once again tried to take a look around her room.
Everything was normal. She did however notice that her number one assistance was no longer in his basket or his “bed”, if you prefer. She gave a loud yawn before slowly getting of her bed.
As she did so she took the time to glance at her alarm clock on the bedside table.
“8: am… enough time for breakfast before preparing the creature for his appointment with Fluttershy… I really gotta find out a name for that thing… “Creature” doesn’t sound that friendly…”
She gave another loudly yawn before she headed towards the stair. As she walked down the stairs she felt a sweet aroma fill her nostrils. It smelled like pancakes.
She entered her kitchen only to find spike standing at the stove, making some glorious pancakes… have I mentioned that I love pancakes?
“Good morning Spike! That smells lovely!”
“Oh good morning Twilight! Thanks, I made some hay-pancakes for you too. This regular once is for the creature down there.”
“Why thank you Spike, that was very kind of you… hey listen… I’m sorry for snapping at you like that yesterday…”
Spike was just done with his last patch of pancakes as he served at the table.
“Don’t Worry about it Twi, but I wasn’t lying about anything I said yesterday! It DID try to break out and it DID speak to me!”
Twilight took as seat at the table and started to eat her breakfast.
“But it was asleep when I was down there” she said between her bites on those glorious pancakes
“It faked it! It’s playing with me! And I know that because he said; “We are going to have so much fun together” just when you left the basement!”
Twilight stopped eating her pancakes and stared at Spike for a few seconds.
“P-Pinkie promise? Do you Pinkie promise that it SPOKE?!”
“Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye” spike said while looking into twilights eyes.
Twilight kept on staring at Spike for a few seconds before all of a sudden galloped as fast as she could down to the basement. Leaving her precious pancakes all alone… As she reached the basement floor she turned the lights on and walked up to my glass prison and knocked on the glass wall.
It took a while before I even reacted to the knocking but after a few seconds filled with irritating knocks I slowly turned around in my bed and faced the unicorn.
We kept on staring at each other for a while before Twilight broke the silent.
“You can speak, can’t you?”
I didn’t say a word but kept on glaring at her… I was waiting for the right moment to utter my first words in weeks.
“Spike told me everything… This might not mean anything for you but he pinkie promised! That is a sacred commitment here in Ponyville. S-so if you have something to say I advise you to say it now.”
I still kept on glaring at her… but after a few seconds I rose up and took a sitting position and opened my moth to sa-
“Ohmygoshohmygosh, it’s gonna speak! Wait! Don’t say anything yet! S-Stay right there!”
And with that she ran upstairs with a speed I did not think she was capable of… and just as fast as she left, she came back with a shit load of paper and with enough of ink and quires to write down the whole history of everything, seconds by seconds.
“Ok… you can speak now” she said with glee.
I noticed that Spike also joined this event… ok this is it… I took a deep breath; the tension in that room was thicker than my schools strawberry jam. Their eyes expanded with expectation. Today… a possibly alien would communicate with Twilight sparkle…
“Vad vill du att jag ska säga?” ((What do you want me to say?))
Did I forget to mention that I am Swedish?
The room became quiet as a graveyard….
“W-what? I-I’m sorry I… I did not catch that”
“Jodå du hörde vad jag sa, du förstod bara inte vad jag sa betydde.”
((oh yes, you heard what I said, you just don’t know what I said meant))
Twilight turned to spike.
“Are you sure that he spoke in Equestrian?!”
“Y-yes I’m am 100 % sure!!“
I looked at Spike. “Din mamma är en ödla och din pappa är en fet katt”
((Your mother is a lizard and your father is a fat cat)) I looked back to Twilight.
“Och din mamma är en narval och din pappa är en häst”
((And your mother is a narwhal and your father is a horse))
They just looked at me in disbelief as I tried my very best not to laugh. But of course it only lasted a few seconds as I burst out in laughter, you should’ve seen their faces! Pure gold I say, pure gold!! I am serious; I laughed so hard that that my sides hurt.
Twilight and Spike just kept on looking confused while I was latterly lying on the floor, laughing my heart out. But of course, everything good has its end so after half a minute I slowly got up and once again sat down on my bed. I cleared my throat and decided to be serious now.
“No but seriously, what do you want to know?”
The room became quiet once again… this was getting old…
“W-what are you? A-and why are you here?” twilight said while readying her quire.
“I am a human. Homo sapiens in Latin. And I am here by the order of the intergalactic S.I.O.L.F. which stands for Super Intelligent Organic Life Form. And I am here to invite you to our consul.”
They were speechless… spike looked up to Twilight and Twilight kept on staring at me in what looks like shock and pure happiness.
“R-Really?! Y-you are here to… invite me to a consul filled with intergalactic geniuses?!?!“
“Hell no! I have no fucking clue why I am here! I hoped you knew!”
If you had a camera with a 100 FPS then you could slowly see every, single, little bit of joy running out of her open mouth.
“W-what?” was the only word that came out of the confused unicorn
“I said that I have no clue why and how I got here… and yes, I am sorry for getting you excited about being smart enough to join an intergalactic smart-ass group . I don’t say that you aren’t smart enough! I was just messing with you two that’s all… but now I am telling you the honest of truths; I don’t know how I got here, WHY I got here, heck, I don’t even know where I am right now…”
“Y-you are in Ponyville… w-we told you that the first day you got here” spike said
“Ponyville… which is in..?”
“Equestria” Twilight finished for spike.
“…. Yeah… I am definitely far from home if I’m in a shit hole called “Equestria”… no offense.”
Twilight rolled her eyes while writing down some notes on her papers.
“That reminds me, how long have I been here?”
“Two weeks” twilight said while once again writing down some notes on her papers.
“Only two weeks? Well I’ll be damned! Felt like a lot more if you ask me but then again, time is relevant”
“Yes… yes it is. So you have no idea how you got here, human?”
“Twilight please, Call me Martin” I said with a small smile.
Twilight smiled back to me after she wrote down more information about me.
“Martin it is then, can you please tell us where you are from!?”
I was just about to tell her when a loud rumbling noise game from my stomach. I started to blush a little but regained my manliness quickly.
“Let’s make a deal shall we? You let me out of here, give me breakfast and a shower and I’ll tell you everything you want to know ok?”
Spike and Twilight looked nervously at each other.
“W-wait here” Twilight said while lifting up spike with her telekinesis and walked up with him upstairs. She walked inside the kitchen and dropped him down on the floor.
“Whatshouldwedowhatshouldwedo!? Can we just trust him like that?! What if he is dangerous!? What if I let him out and he starts to go berserk?! There’s nothing I can do! Magic won’t work on him and he looks strong so I don’t think brute force will work either! Oh what should I do!?!?!?”
Spike rose up and dusted of his scale.
“I don’t know Twi… maybe we should keep the human there until Celestia’s visit… if there’s somepony who can make that decision, than it’s her.”
Twilight thought a about that idea for a few seconds while walking around in a circle inside the kitchen.
“Ok… we are going to give him breakfast…. Obviously. And I might have a way to give him the shower
he requested but… I don’t know… not letting him out for another two weeks?! Do you think he will understand why we are keeping him inside there without offending him or something?”
“Well… only one way to find out I guess…”
Just then. a knocking sound came from the door. twilights pupils shrunk to the sizes of peas.
"Oh no.. I forgot about Fluttershy!" Twilight said in panic as she walked in circles around the kitchen while trying to think out a solution for her problem.
"W-what's the problem Twi? you invited her so she could take a look at it, remember?!"
"I asked her to take a look at a probably instinct or a new found ANIMAL! Now that we know that it can talk and think like us, well... you know Fluttershy, she would be terrified! And she may out of her hysteria tell the whole Ponyville about it! And we got instructions from Celestia herself to keep its presence a top secret!"
"Then why don't we just tell her about its ability to speak before letting her visiting it?" Spike said as he raised a eyebrow.
Twilight freezes on the spot and processed what spike just said and ended with a facehoof.
"I'm telling you Twilight, you over think things too often"
Twilight groaned irritated as she walked to the door. a light purple aura surrounded it as it neatly opened and reveled a yellow Pegasus with pink mane.
"Oh. h-hey Twilight. I came to look at the creature you found two weeks ago... I-I'm not too early am I?
Twilight noticed that fluttershy was carrying a small back pack on her back. (duh)
"Of course not" Twilight said with a friendly smile "In fact, you are just in time. Please come in"
Twilight took a step away from the door to let the adorable Pegasus inside. as Fluttershy walked inside she noticed that there were three plates with pancakes on the table, one half eaten by Twilight.
"I-is somepony else here for a visit?" Fluttershy asked with a trace of fear in her voice. afraid that she would have to associate with somepony new.
"no, one of those plates is for the creature I mentioned" Twilight said with a nervous smile
"a-a animal who eats pancakes? oh my, I have never seen a animal eating pancakes before... is it big? is it a mammal? does it look dangerous?"
"I...I don't think it's dangerous, a-and its over 5 feet tall. A-and I don't know..."
"oh... s-sorry for getting carried away there..." Fluttershy said as she hide behind her mane.
"I-its ok, really. I'm just as excited as you are right now but.... there's something you should know about this creature..."
"W-what?"
"... it can talk."
