//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: When I came to Equestria (Cancelled) // by RainbowCoolDash Pariah //------------------------------// Prologue It was two years ago I came to Equestria and at first I was scared, then I meet six very nice ponies who welcomed me to Equestria. Lets just say the first few weeks of me being here wasn't very good. Two years earlier I was just your every day normal 24 year old guy living life to the fullest and, well, I was happy. I had a good paying job at a fast food restaurant and a nice house I bought three years ago. My parents have been on a vacation to New York City since the middle of July. We have always been a happy family, always being together and having fun on the local beaches. But everything comes at a cost. As I was walking home from another good day at work, I saw something in the sky. It looked like a black cloud that was spinning. The worst part was the cloud was above my house. I ran as fast as I could, then I felt myself being pulled up. Then everything went white. I could remember screaming and the nothing. I blacked out. When I woke up I was in a bed in a hospital. I thought to myself, "where am I" When I looked around I didn't see anyone, until I heard the sound of hooves coming up to the bed. "Aw you’re awake now," said a male voice. I looked at where the voice came from and froze in my bed at what I saw. A pony wearing a doctors lab coat and it just talked. I thought to myself, ok James. You just lost your mind and now I - I think I will faint. My head hit the pillow as I faint from shock. "Doctor is he going to be ok?” "Ya. He just fainted and I have no idea why. Maybe because I talked to him." When I woke up I saw that I was alone and sighed a breath of relief. "Well at least I am safe from the elements for now. I can't believe I'm in Equestria. This is so unreal. I can hardly bear it." Just as I was thinking the door to the room open to reveal a lavender pony. I think to myself, "That must be Twilight Sparkle" I am very confused as to how I....wait, that storm yesterday on my way home, that’s it! I came through a portal of some sort. "Hi," she says kindly. "H..Hi," I say back to her. "Um can I ask some questions please?" she asks. "Um, sure. Why not?" I tell her. After she asks me some questions and I answer her questions, the doctor comes in. "Excuse me Twilight. He's free to go now, if you want to," he says to me. "Thanks Doc," I say back. "Um, Twilight? Can I stay with you, because I don't know my way around Equestria and well, I'm really scared right now?" I ask her politely. "Ya sure you can..um what is your name?” she asks me. "My name is James," I tell her. So she takes me to Golden Oaks Library and I am in awe at what I see, so many books. "Wow, there are a lot of books in this library," I say. "Well, you should see Canterlot Library. Now that Library has a lot more than mine does," she says to me. As I look around, I see many books that I have never seen before; it's like I am in book heaven. My mind is racing with questions that I want to ask, but I can’t. "Well, I guess this won't be too bad", I think to myself. My life changed after that. After two weeks of being here I was having a horrible time here in Equestria and there were ponies who hated me for what reason I don't know. That’s when I saved a young filly from a timberwolf, and after that I was called a hero. The filly and I became friends after that. I was then introduced to the rest of Ponyville and I was welcomed with open arms… well, open hoofs actually. Two Years Later "Thank you Twilight for always being there for me over the past two years I've been here," I say, hugging her tight. " So Twi, what are we going to do today?” "Um, I don't know, how about we go to Sweet Apple Acres and see if Applejack needs any help?” "Ya, let’s do that," I say back to her. Upon arriving at Sweet Apples Acres I see Applejack sitting under a tree resting after a hard days work. "I see somepony is taking a nap instead of working the apples," I say jokingly. "What! I ain't napping. Ah am just resting," Applejack says, standing up real fast. "Ya know ah hate it when others do that, ever since that Gabby Gums article, everypony’s been bugging' me about me napping on the job. Ah know you were just joking,” Applejack says, shaking her head. "I'm sorry Applejack, I didn't mean to upset ya," I say apologetically, giving her a kind hug. "It's all right, sugarcube," she says back to me while bucking an apple tree. It is amazing how strong Applejack is. I am very impressed by her strength. "So Applejack, do ya need any help?" I ask her. "Ya, could ya sort through this here barrel and take out any bad apples for me? Thank you James," She says kindly to me. So for the next two hours Me and Twilight sort through 10 barrels of apples and take out all the bad apples and toss them into a separate barrel to be given to the pigs later. "We are done Applejack," I say to her. "Thank ya James and Twilight, I appreciate your help," she says back to me and Twilight. As me and Twilight walked back to the Golden Oaks Library we settled down for a good lunch at the table. I really like hay sandwiches, however, since coming to Equestria I have went from eating meat to being turned into a vegetarian. James look's at Twilight, "What are you running off to do when we are done at the table Twilight" I say to her. Twilight looked at James smiling. "I don't know, I am going to study awhile then go to bed. Today have been very tiring after helping Applejack". she said to James "Ok, I am a little tired to. Thank you for the great lunch tho, that was good" James said kindly to Twilight. "Twilight I'm home" said a voice from the door. "Oh hello Spike" say Twilight as she goes into the main part of the Library. As I finished my lunch I herd Twilight talking to Spike and herd Twilight laugh. "Whats so funny Twilight" James says from the dinning room. "Oh nothing James. Spike just told me a joke" she says back to me. So I go to the spare room upstairs and lay down for a nap. I usually take naps around noon time so I can stay up late. I don't really like getting up early in the morning so I just sleep in. Tomorrow I will be helping Pinkie Pie clean Sugarcube Corner so when Mr. and Mrs. Cake they both will return to a clean store and not a messy store. "Well I got to say this was a very good day, nothing bad happened an..." Before I could finish I was out like a light. It must of been four hours later I woke up sweating horribly and for reason I have no clue why, "Why am I sweating so bad" I look around and find everything in place. I have never woke up like this before so this is new to me. I get up and get a drink of water, then I lay back down looking at the ceiling and NOT falling asleep. Agh this is so boring. 'Whats wrong James' asks a sleepy Twilight. 'Oh nothing just woke up sweating and now can't get back to sleep' I tell her. Two Days Later I am sitting there watching Twilight perform some magic tricks and I am in awe at how good she is. I have spent about two hours watching her do this and you know what its hypnotizing. I know it is weird but I like how awesome Twilight is. if you ask me shes kinda cute for a pony.
