My head shot up from my pillow as I sat on my bed, 2:00. The Thin robber from last week had a flip phone and guns exist, Apple Jack and Big Macintosh own a pickup truck, and Twilight...... she has science that goes 'ding' when results are in. Yesterday I was given a schedule where to avoid escaping Ponyville I had to go to the dentist and the place had flat, wide screen and box TVs, consoles and handhelds are a thing, even the massage chairs at the spa are tech!
And yet they also have tech run by magic like in hospitals...cough Vynal Scratch cough! With all this tech, why don't they use it? Everyone sends messages via magic fire and magic paper or mail carrier, they have horse drawn wagons and taxis that can fly, hospitals use magic when doing some... medical things.
Then another thought hit me: In my solitude I heard music. Piano music, jazz, a library of guitar solos, and violin. Either there are less griffons in Equestria when I emerged or ponies are hiding fingers... THEY CAN ALSO OPEN DOORS!!! I've seen it happen so many times, all these years and I've dismissed it!
Years in the past.
I'm hiding under a hood because I don't want to be seen, I've read some stories where the villagers would kill a weird creature at the drop of a hat. On stage in front of us is a piano battle between two farmers, one has a chicken playing "Ode to Joy" and the other had a pig that he played with and had something that sounded like "Death Waltz".
"Hey Adagio, how are they doing that?" I asked.
"No clue, but this is anazing how the animals could keep up."
"Don't you mean 'amazing'?"
"Looks like our dictionary missed a wo- " Aria was caught off by a 'shut up, kid' and slumped in her seat. Chicken farmer looked like her was about to lose when he suddenly joined his chicken on the piano playing a song that reminded me of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
"HOW ARE THEY DOING THAT?!"
"Sir, I need to escort you party out of the audience. There have been some reports of disturbing the piece." a uniformed pony said.
Present Day... or morning.
How can they do that? If someone says 'magic'- Using that as an explanation is cheating. They have science, they should use it. They also have movie theaters so... Make a movie or something? But how would I do that?
*Bing!*
A message? Either Box found out about my laptop or the internet is finally here.

Mighty. Well half of my list was cleared thanks to technology! Not magic. I pack my things for my entrance, a big one might be the thing I need. I change into my clothes and with my bandana around my neck, I'm ready for my close up.
Oh crap. Box is asleep in the living room! Time to teleport. My big introduction will not come to pass, little is more. Right?
I enter my secret closet and use the coordinates on my lap top.
"When Iron Will is done, within a week you will become 'The pony everybody should know'!"
Suddenly gasps and shocked expressions fall upon the crowd as I stood behind a white goat and a blue beast!
"Shocking, isn't it? How a nobody can become somebody!"
The goat turns to me and makes a noise, that goats would make obviously, before falling like a statue.
"Am I late for the seminar Mr. Will?" I ask as he jumps at the sight of me.
My bandana turned out to be a scarf, they look alike in the dark! Said scarf was flowing in the wind as I stood with my hand in front of me, preparing for him to strike me down as my right hand held a diamond sword with its blade on the ground. You could say I poised in fear. Confetti shot from my sides as a voice made an introduction.
"I am the Mighty Lego Craft! Protector of the weak, ape of the rising sun! Maker of blocks and defeated an Ursa! Made a chimera cry for mercy and destroyer of changelings! I also have the power of a changeling! Gaze upon my legendary power and buy all my books!"
Discord, what kind of intro was that?!
"I wasn't expecting you! My apologies! And on the topic of books, I like the Rainbow series way better than the Royal series! Those books are the best!"
"OK... I'm glad you enjoy my diaries...?" just then a tumbleweed bounced on by behind me. Seems convenient.
"By the way, I was going to use your arrival here as an example of starting small... Um... May I have an autograph?"
He pulls a green book off a nearby stool and one of his goats follows up by giving him a pen. As I grabbed the book and opened it, something was on the blank page. A big, blue paw print.
"Are you aware of the paw print in this book?" I asked, showing it to Iron Will.
"Yes, I made- wait. I never put a drew a paw in THAT book. Did you put it there?"
"Here's your signed book, it might be wise to reschedule your seminar... things might get hairy."
"I've dealt with worse. Names, Jake." said a gray clone of me, wearing my Steve attire minus the recent bandana. I giggled a bit seeing as he looks weaker than me an a millimeter shorter than me. He looks up at me and with a frown on his face followed by a kick in my shin.
"Awww! He kicked me in my shin! Aaand the pain is burning. Yep."
"What?!"
"Hello story book / biography me. My name is Lego Craft, I would like to inform you that I currently have some of... *ahem* PJ's blood in me. I advise you take your Homestuck Steve look and leave." I said shoo-shooing him.
"Oh yeah? PJ is weaker than me so beating you is no prob. PREPARE TO GET WRECKED!!!"
He lunges at me with a diamond axe followed by me blocking with one of my emerald swords, "Did you really shout that? I understand 'Leeroy Jenkins', but that's the best you got?"
He shakes his axe creating a bucket of lava that appears above head. Discord switches places with me and chugs down the hot liquid with only one tear falling.
"Oh my Tia, that was the best hot sauce I've ever had! Can I keep the bucket, I'm not done with it!"
"Oh my f***ing god! How are you even here?!"
"Oh my Elvis! Three things (possible four) things I would never do! When I curse, I chose my words with care without dropping an 'F bomb' or swearing to my god! Plus lava? I never stooped that low to do what you just did!" I said in my serious voice, starting low and ending high.
"Well whoopty doo Batman! I'd might as well call myself Karkat! By the way, TiaCord- Canon." he said finishing with a successful axe flip. I looked at Discord then back at him followed by a look to the crowd. Most had ran off leaving the brave to stay, making bets.
"A block of gold for the taller idiot. Scratch that, I bet on Luna." said Box from the crowd, glaring at me with a smirk that followed saying, 'Once he's down, I'm coming for you.'
"Luna? I don't see her here nor will I think-" the green/gold stallion was cut off by a brown one we all know as the Doctor.
"I'm betting on Princess Twilight."
Are you kidding me? As I refocus my attention on gray me his fist met my face, sending me to the ground and as a counter I responded with a double kick to his face and another to get to my feet. He got up with his hands and knees then he tosses a iron sword at me. As a response I blocked it with a diamond spear and replaced it with a stone knife, I then used said knife with the fallen iron sword and ran for him.
Flipping the knife backwards I swung my left arm in a typical stabbing way, he dodged it but not the sword. He attempted to grab the blade with both hands, but if you've seen Mythbusters you'd know how I finished him. I decided to loot his body to find EVERYTHING. He has my Nintendo DS lite (for some reason) with every DS and Game Boy games I've ever had with it. My eight mp3 players, red dice, and the three vintage Spider-Man comics from under my bed (again, wow. its like he's hoarding things from back home or something).
I found the softball that always threatened to clonk my head every night, my nokia lumia 720 (with brony pictures for some reason), my yellow character book from when I had drawing and coloring material also came with a black box with the materials. I took his diamond axe and noticed that it was better than my old one (because its actual diamond not blue inked iron). My search ended when I found a note and nothing else.
Open Letter
Hello Jake,
I am you from an alternate time line. Now you may want to throw this away, but here me out.
I'm from a time line where I watch "My Little Pony" with our brother. I was watching a pirated "Equestria Girls" (MLP human movie) and noticed one of my OCs in the background THE ONLY PONY IN THE HUMAN WORLD. Though odd thing is only me and my brother could see him. He looked angry and ran towards the mirror and was never seen again.
17 years old now and I'm creating a story on fimfiction.net about a 16 year old ginger Steve from Minecraft in a world of ponies...
Pause Letter
I looked up to see Luna and Twilight hover above me, slowing to the ground. "What is thou reading?"
"I don't believe I understand, but I think my future is being created by another me. meh." I said shrugging. I use my new axe to create a command block that falls on me, shattering to pieces as it hits the ground I once stood on.
