John woke up remembering he was trying a new drink down at the bar before going black.
"I have got to stop trying all the new drinks, I can’t handle them!" he shouted out to no one in particular. As he opened his eyes, he was a bit confused, he expected to see his apartments cieling, not a clear blue sky with a few clouds.
'why am I not in my bed' he thought to himself as he got up, still feeling a bit sleepy. He tried looking around, and was a bit confused about the scenery.
"I have got to be dreaming, because that forest behind me is the Everfree forest" he looked around some more before almost screaming "and there is Ponyville!" he started to walk towards Ponyville, seeing as how he was a fan of the show, maybe his mind was playing tricks on him. He was however stopped by a blur of cyan flying past him, only inches from his head. "JESUS CHRIST!" he yelled as he looked behind him, only to see Rainbow Dash standing there, looking at him as if he was a threat. "Okay this dream is getting weird." he said out loud, Rainbow Dash just looked at him with a slightly confused face. They just looked at each other for a few moments until Rainbow Dash decided to ask him
"What are you? How can you talk? And why did you come out of the Everfree forest?" He looked at her with confusion in his eyes
"So I’m not dreaming? This is real?" he asked back, Rainbow Dash just looked at him, unsure of what to say.
"You came out of the Everfree forest, and a moving towards Ponyville. Give me one good reason not to attack you right now!" she said looking at him.
"Okay, but before that" he said looking at her with less confusion, "is Twilight around? She would love to ask some questions, if I’m not mistaken" Dash just moved closer to him.
"You know Twilight?" she asked.
"Not really, I just know much about this world, now is she around?" he said back
“I still don’t trust you, even IF you know twilight, I’m not just going to let you walk into ponyville.” Rainbow dash said, still looking like she was ready to fight.
“And I can understand that, but I can safely say, I don’t mean anypony any harm, otherwise I would have attacked you already.” He replied, in a calm tone.
“Maybe you are just waiting for the right time to attack me, or the other resident of ponyville, I’m not going to let you do that.” She said, looking like she was getting ready to attack.
“Calm down Rainbow Dash, I don’t want to hurt you, but I might have to if you attack me” he said back, getting into position to fight back.
“How do you know my name?” she said, looking a bit more confused.
“Well I know a lot about this world, and some of the ponies in it. Mostly the elements of harmony, and the cutie mark crusaders.”
“Wait, you know about the elements of harmony!?” she asked raising her voice a little.
“Yes I do, and I also know you are the fastest flyer in all of Equestria.” He said, looking as rainbow dash blushed a bit.
“Well at least you have that info correct, but I still don’t trust you enough to just let you walk away.” She said back, still blushing a bit.
“Well I’m not going to stay here all day, so either you attack me, or let me pass, either way I won't hold it against you.” he said, still standing ready to fight back.
“Okay, you asked for it creature, I won't hold back!” she said as she lunged towards him, hoping to catch him off guard. Unfortunately for her, he was ready. She tried to hit him with her front right hoof, which he barely dodged as he caught her hind left hoof, forced her to the ground, and held her down.
“I told you I might have to hurt you, now calm down before it might start to hurt.” He said with a calm tone.
“I won't hold back, I’m not just going to let you walk into ponyville, and possibly hurt my friends!” she said as she started to flap her wings, hitting John in the face, which forced him to let go. “You are not as tough as I though, or maybe you are just holding back?” she said, now hovering a bit above the ground.
“Well, like I said I don’t want to hurt you, but you might leave me no choice.” He said, getting a little mad.
“Come on, how bad can it be, you can’t even hold me down for more than 2 seconds.” She said laughing a bit
“Well, that was because I was trying not to hurt you, but how about you come down on the ground and we settle this? I won't hold back this time” he said, laughing a bit at the end as well.
“Oh so now you are getting serious, this is going to be fun.” She said, showing a small smile as she landed. John lunged forwards, grabbing her around the neck, but was met with her front left hoof in his stomach.
“Ouch, that hurt you know” he said with his smile getting bigger, still holding around her neck.
“That was the plan, giving up” she said.
“Not anytime soon, but you might!” he said, as he lifted her up, and threw her towards the ground.
“This is really fun, you ok Dash?” John said as he looked at her just lying there.
“Ow, I thought you said you didn’t want to hurt me” she said, catching her breath.
“Yeah, but I did say I would not hold back this time” he said as he lend her a hand to get up.
“Well you have had plenty of opportunities to do some serious harm to me, yet you don’t, why won't you?” she asked John.
“I told you, I’m not here to hurt anypony, I actually don’t know why I’m here, the last thing I remember was going home from my local bar after trying a new drink” he said, sitting down on the grass.
“Wait, you are not from the Everfree forest?” she asked with confusion.
“No, I’m not even from this world, but I think twilight might have an idea what happened to me, since I woke up here.” He replied.
“well, let’s get going then, like you said, she must have a million questions about you and where you are from.” She said as she got up, and started to hover a little above the ground.
A few minutes later they arrived at the library, in the meantime he had found out how tall he was in comparison to the ponies. Rainbow dash, was only as high as his chest. So he was taller than the ponies, although he was still unsure about his size in comparison to Celestia or Luna, as they are Alicorns and larger than your average pony. Dash knocked on the door, and Twilight quickly replied
"Just a minute". The door swung open and Twilight walked out and saw Rainbow Dash floating outside. "Hello Rainbow Dash, what do you want? Let me guess, more Daring Do?" she asked with a small smile.
"No, not today, I found this Thing just outside the Everfree forest, and it wanted to talk with you" she said pointing her hoof at John. Twilight let out a small eep, as she looked at John.
"Don’t worry Twilight, I’m not here to hurt you, or any other pony for that matter" he said with a calm tone. She looked at him with a bit of confusion in her eyes.
“It only hurt me because I forced it to, so it can’t really be blamed for it."
"What are you?" she said.
"I’m a male human, or homo-sapiens if you want the scientific term" she looked at him with a big smile on her face.
"Oh wow, I have never seen or heard of a 'human' before, where are you from, what are you wearing, and how did you know my name? Oh I have so many questions to ask you" she said with an even bigger smile on her face.
"Yes I know that, but before that, don’t you think you should write to Princess Celestia about a new creature?" he said with a small smile, since he had seen the show.
"How did you know about the princess?" she asked him with confusion in her eyes again, but decided to write to the Princess anyway.
After a few minutes the Princess arrived in a bright flash outside the library, along with twenty royal guards. John went outside to meet with the princess, but was knocked into the ground by one of the guards. "Well that’s one way to say hello" he said sarcastically. The princess then noticed John and asked the guard to release him.
"I’m sorry for my guard’s behavior, I hope he did not hurt you" she said.
"No big deal , I was prepared for that" John said as he got up, then bowed to the Princess "it’s an honor to finally meet you Princess Celestia" he said before returning to a standing position. Shining Armor turned around, looked him in his eyes and said.
"If you hurt my little Twily, I’m going to hurt you so bad you wish you were dead!" John simply replied.
"I would not hurt Twilight, even if my own life was on the line, so back of Shining Armor" Celestia looked a bit confused and asked.
"How do you know about Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle?" John looked at Celestia and replied.
"I know a lot about this world, more than you might think, but just so you can all feel safe, I would like to be taken into custody and put behind bars, just for a few days, this will also be a great way for me to adjust to this world"
"And why would I do that? you have done nothing wrong, or hurt anypony" Celestia said, John got a small smile on his lips.
"well i have hurt Rainbow Dash" he said. Celestia looked shocked. "now then, it is just for the other ponies to feel safer, and it is also a way for me to learn a bit more about this world 'and figure out how far the timeline has come', have no fear I will follow quietly and be a good prisoner for however long you decide, but I wish for you to put me in prison for at least 3 days. Just because I seem nice does not mean I was not sent here to kill somepony, that I was just acting nicely to get close to somepony, such as yourself Celestia" Celestia looked at John, still a bit confused by it all.
"very well, you will be placed in prison until we decide to let you out again, now are you ready to be taken down by twenty guards?" she asked with a small smile on her lips before they jumped John and held I’m to the ground, as he passed out the last thing he saw was the small smile on Celestia's lips.
