Chapter 3
I approached the town and I was greeted by so many familiar faces. I trotted through the town I thought about how I knew most of them but they had no idea who I was. Alright first things first I need to go see twilight. If anypony can help me she will be able too. Wait did I just say anypony? Never mind that, I thought shaking my head. Right now I need to find Twilight. I continued on through town slowly looking for her library. I don’t know what I’ll even tell her when I see her, I mean what if she thinks I’m crazy. That made me feel uneasy, but I had to admit that I was excited to actually meet Twilight. She had been my favorite character after all. Knowing that I would also get to meet the others of the mane six helped to calm the feeling of unease in my stomach.
Okay, I thought. I am totally lost. I frowned at the notion of having to ask somepony for directions. Damnit! I said somepony again. I took a deep breath; okay I need to calm down. Before I talk to anypony I need to come up with a pony name. I chuckled at the idea of a pony named Stephen. I realized I hadn’t even seen what my cutie mark was! That could give my some ideas on what to name myself. I saw a bench in front of me so I trotted over and sat, looking at were my cutie mark should be. I frowned when I saw it wasn’t there, but I thought about it and it made sense. After all I hadn’t yet found my special talent. Well that makes this much harder. I failed to realize that the bench I was lost in thought on was situated right across from Sugar Cube Corner. I tossed a few names around, Blue streak, Silver Cloud, but then I thought of the name I was going to use. Silver Lightning. Now with that taken care of time to find Twilight.
I stood, but promptly froze at the sight of the bakery in front of me. I looked around, but I didn’t see her. I saw the library however, and slowly started to trot over. “Huh, maybe she didn’t see me.” I whispered to my self as I trotted to the library. All of the sudden a Pink blur shot up in front of me, scaring me nearly to death. I fell back and smacked my head on the hard ground.
the last thing I saw was Pinkie Pie hovering over me laughing and saying “ silly Stephen, of course I saw you!” then I blacked out.
I regained consciousness and shakily sat up. I looked around taking in my surroundings. I was in Twilights library? What the hell, how did I get here? Better yet how the hell did Pinkie Pie know my name? There was no one in the room with me, but I could hear voices coming from what I could only assume was the kitchen. I thought about eavesdropping but decided against it. “Um h-hello? Anyo.. Er anypony there?” I called out.
Almost instantly I saw that beautiful purple unicorn round the corner. “You’re awake! Oh thank goodness, I thought for sure Pinke Pie had really hurt you there.” She said concern in her voice.
“Thanks Twilight, but no really I’m fine” I thought about what I just said and facehoofed.
Twilight’s eyes narrowed, “how do you know who I am?”
Well now or never I guess. “Alright I have some explaining to do, but you have to promise you wont think I’m crazy.”
A confused look came across her face, “A-alright I wont, but first who are you?”
I sighed. “You’re going to want to sit for this one”
I walked over to the couch I had woke up on. She sat on the other end and looked over at me. “Alright my given name is Stephen Elswick, and before you say anything let me explain how I got here. Please, please don’t think I’m crazy” I was unable to keep the worry out of my voice as I said that.
“I promise, I wont think you’re crazy.” She said with a smile. Wow she was pretty, wait why did I just call her that? I shook the idea from my head before it could form fully.
I took a deep breath and began. “I come from what I can only assume is another planet. Maybe another universe, and well were I come from, all of this, Equestria, Ponyville, your whole universe is a fictional TV show.”
“That’s not possible.” She breathed.
“Well that’s what has happened, but how about this. Ask me something that only you would know.”
She thought a moment, then said “Who lives with me here in the library.”
At least make it tough I thought. “Your baby dragon spike. Rarity calls him ‘Spikey Wikey’ and you sometimes refer to him as your number on assistant.” Twilight could only stammer out “B-b-but no h-how is this even, no its n-not possible" She stopped and thought for a moment. "However I cant think of a suitable explanation as to how you would have known that.”
I smiled weakly “ told ya, and I don’t have a cutie mark either. I don’t even know how to fly yet. I cant even open these stupid things.” I said looking at my wings. She said nothing for a moment, making me feel anxious.
When she finally spoke she said “I need to tell the princess right away, maybe she knows what’s going on.” She rose and headed to a desk behind the couch, and used her magic to grab a scroll and quill. She began to scribble quickly. I waited patiently looking around the library to occupy my self.
