Yeah, this is like that part of the story where Superman’s true identity is revealed to the important ones and such, except my disguise wasn’t so bucking obvious! And I wasn’t trying to be a “masked” hero anyway. I always though people were dumb, gee where does Peter Parker disappearing to right before Spiderman shows up? Gee I wonder why Superman and Clark Kent look so similar?
Oh right what was I doing again? Oh right, well Princess Luna, the Mane Six and my two best friends are looking directly at me and I’ve got a lot of ‘splainin to do!
Or I could just run…nah no point!
“Congratulations Twilight! I knew you could do it again” Celestia said as she made her appearance
“…” We all went silent as Celestia was given a few looks
“What? Why is everypony so quiet?” Celestia asked
“Well apparently according to Discord, this Pegasus here is really a human!” Twilight pointed a hoof directly to me
“A Hu-what?” Celestia asked, confused
“And furthermore Tia, he is the one that had the disrupted dreams in the dreamscape” Luna added
“What? I didn’t do anything to the dreamscape” I yelled.
“Well apparently yer did, sugarcube” AJ said.
“Urgh…look, I am in fact a human but I’ve got an explanation for it, but it’s best only you ponies know this, just to be safe.” I said
“Very well, let us convene at the library” Celestia agreed
So for the next 10 minutes, all of trotted in silence to the library, everything was back to normal and I was spending the whole time in my thoughts figuring how to explain this, oh and the amount of glares I felt on me by my friends, the Princesses and the Elements was really annoying and I felt as though Celestia was looking through my very heart but not in the creepy way Nightmare Moon did.
After we all sat down in the library, everyone stared expectantly at me, I’m not sure how they’ll react but there’s no turning back now.
“So, how do I begin this?” I asked myself out loud
“Well I wanna know what this Human thingy is you said you were” Dash started
“Well, We’re well…bipedal, we um…are well Humans. What? We aren’t that different! Okay how about this? We sort of look like hairless apes but if you call me that I will cut your throat out, that goes double for you Kicker! We're really advanced in technology compared to your race, but we don't have magic so the tech thing is sort of the compensation thing.” I tried to describe my race, it wasn’t going very well as I sucked at explaining things, it was easier in the fics.
“That’s helpful” Firefly muttered
“So let me get this straight, you’ve been a pony the whole time anypony has known you, why aren’t you this human?” Twilight asked
“Well, as soon as I got here, something started changing me, not instantly though, it took an entire week of painful transformation to turn into this. And it took the better part of a month to get used to how ponies work and that included sneaking around and observing ponies and how they behaved but I suspect some sort of magic caused the transformation” I explained
"That's reall
“So that’s what you were doing, I thought you were playing hide and seek” Pinkie gasped in realization
Everypony just rolled their eyes as Pinkie made this realization, but I digress…
“Wait, so what did you do the whole month in terms of home and food?” Dash asked
“Well, I had no money, just the fur on my back and Ponies don’t like meat like us humans do and before you ask, we are an omnivore species meaning we eat meat and veggies although we prefer meat” I explained my homelessness
“T-That’s horrible!” Fluttershy squeaked out loud
“That’s how it had to be, and I didn’t get my cutie mark until the second day on the weather team who Pinkie led me to one day, and that was a source of some looks and such, seriously awkward I might add” I continued
“But, why did you never tell us Bolty, we’re your friends!” CK asked, a little angry
“Well let’s be honest, if I walked down the street proclaiming I’m really another species that nopony has ever heard of, what would you think?” I asked them all
“We would not be inclined to believe thee” Luna said
“Exactly! And I never wanted to interfere with anypony, or cause attention to myself other than my lack of a cutie mark at first and I’m going to be honest here, those mental institutions scare the buck outta me” I exclaimed
It seemed the others seemed to agree with my point, they should all be thankful they didn’t end up on Earth, oh god would the scientists have a field day if they ever learned the truth, that’s assuming they all haven’t been put in a mental institution already.
“Discord mentioned some “little girl’s show” that you seemed to know about, what is he talking about?” Twilight asked
“Well this next part is strictly to remain CONFIDENTIAL between all of us, anypony blabs, it could ruin Equestria, and plus I’m making you all Pinkie Promising that you won’t and I will know who it was because Pinkie will know immediately right Pinkie?” I started
“Yeeepoorine!” Pinkie said happily
So the ponies did the Pinkie Promise, and here’s the maybe-creepy part, explaining the show!
“Well, this is gonna sound creepy in some ways and weird and ludicrous, but I knew Discord and Nightmare Moon were going to return, there are a couple more on the way” I started
“WHAT?” The mane six screamed together
“B-But what do you mean more threats are coming” Twilight asked
“In time, well you see there’s a show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, somehow a human named Lauran Faust found out the events of this world and made into a little girl’s show which for some reason me and lot of grown ups really like, we became known as Bronies or if you’re a girl you would be called a Pegasister.” I explained
“There’s a TV show about US?” Rarity asked, eyebrows raised.
“Yep, and that’s how I know what will happen right up until Season 4 where-where…CRAP! I FORGOT WHO ATTACKS IN SEASON 4!” I yelled as I realize I can’t remember Season 4’s villain.
“So you know everything up until this “Season 4”? Celestia asked
“Well the villain attacked in the last 2 episodes, because when a villain attacks, they so bucking evil that they get a 2-parter!” I said, racking my brains to remember
“But who are the villains that will attack and when will they come?” Twilight asked
“That I cannot tell you for your safety, mainly because the future will be altered and that may be enough for Equestria to be taken over by evil villains!” I explained the problem
“But pray tell, what season are we in now?” Luna asked
“Well Discord was SUPPOSED to attack in the first episode of Season 2, that was meant to be the episode after the Grand Galloping Gala but for some reason, that happened differently! So I guess my very presence has somehow altered the show. Could be worse though, another Element of Harmony could of popped out of nowhere for no explainable reason.” I said
I could not tell what anypony was thinking at all, but It seemed Dash didn't seem to believe me when she spoke up.
“I don’t believe it” Dash said
“That’s understandable” I muttered
“It’s true Rainbow Dash, as far fetched it seems, he is telling the truth, how these events were found out we do not know, how Lightning Bolt got here is beyond even me” Celestia vouched for me
“Look, I don’t wanna be some time lord or such, in fact I’ve wanted to stay out of the way and just let things happen like they are supposed to with the show” I said
“That may not be so possible anymore I’m afraid, if your presence had indeed caused a time change to Equestria’s history then there is naught you and anypony else could do to prevent it, of course it could be possible some other force could be at work but that’s very unlikely” Celestia said to me
‘And 10 bits says there is a force at work’
“Anypony else got any questions for now?” I asked
“Just one, what’s your real name back on your planet?” Spike asked out of nowhere
“Spike! You were listening the whole time?” Twilight asked
“I know, and I Pinkie promised not to tell anypony else” Spike reasoned
“Well, my real name is Anonymous” I said
“Really?” Luna asked stupidly
“Of course not! What fool would be named that? It’s actually Gavin but to be honest I always hated that name and if it’s okay with you girls, I’d much rather keep the Lightning Bolt thing going” I answered
“Thou is a most confusing creature, but thy intentions are good, that much we sense from you” Luna said
“Thanks Luna, if you must know, people on Earth appreciate the night a fair bit, and the fans took a liking to you in the show” I mentioned
“We must go now, and remember Lightning, change is not necessarily always a bad thing, sometimes it's best to embrace it” Celestia got up along with Luna.
With a last hug towards Twilight and a thank you the elements, the Princesses disappeared in a flash of white.
“So, you guys still mind if we’re still friends and that right?” I asked CK and Firefly who have been silent the whole time
“Of course Bolty, I still need my good old Wingstallion” CK answered
“I will, besides you’re still too cute for me not to have you as a friend” Firefly also answered.
