I was currently sitting on a sofa in Twilight's living room slash library. This wouldn't be too bad if my clothes weren't still ten minutes from being done in the washing machine. Instead I'm wrapped up in a towel that barely covers the important areas. Celestia is still red faced, Twilight looked mortified, Spike was trying not to laugh, and I was most certainly not pouting that my bath time was once again interrupted.
Ignoring the laughs being unsuccessfully stifled I looked at Celestia and decided to bite the bullet on this one, "So what brings you here Sunny?"
This seemed to shock her out of blushville. "I am here to ask a few questions..." She trailed off.
I shrugged while trying to keep to a more modest position then I usually like, "Well ask away."
Celestia straightened herself up and looked serious, "I want you to tell me what happened a thousand years ago, from your perspective."
This... was a surprise. I honestly did not think she would want to hear my side of the story since she and her sister were pretty quick to pull the trigger last time. But this was a good thing, especially if it means I don't get to be turned back to stone again. I looked at Celestia and scratched my head.
"Well... alright." And so I told her everything that happened that day. After my quick explanation she seem downtrodden. "You alright?" I asked after a while, it was only polite.
Celestia sighed and looked off to the side, ashamed, "No, I'm not. My sister and I sentenced you to a wrongful imprisonment. Your sentence should not have been that long or severe. But we were too young and hot headed back then to see what really happened. We saw only a strange creature destroying one of our cities and didn't even try to get the full story. You clearly did not even know Cloudsdale was above you, or that your invention would break upon itself. All blame was shifted to you and that simply wasn't fair, you deserved a trial at the very least."
It was true, I did deserve a trial and a far less severe punishment, heck I'd have taken community service with a smile. But to be honest I got over my feelings about the false imprisonment a long time ago. A thousand years is a long time to think and sort feelings through. I was peeved yeah, but I tend to look on the bright side of life. After all if I wasn't stoned then I wouldn't be able to see my favorite ponies in the better timeline, or be a part of a freaking episode! Eventually...
Celestia looked utterly guilty and probably thought herself a failure. I love the show too much to let this kind of expression mar her face. I sighed and looked Celestia in the eyes, "Listen, while your decision was rash... I don't hold any ill will against you. I know I should... but I'm just not the type to hold a grudge." I crossed my arms while Celestia breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm looking at the silver linings right now. It's a more modern era, so I can actually do what I love! I can go get materials and be able to make quality DJ stuff now! Ponies love wubs in this day and age, and I can actually DJ without being called a mind controlling monster!" I uncrossed my arms and spread them wide to emphasis that last point. It was important.
One of Celestia and Twilight's eyes twitched at that last part. For what reason I wouldn't know.
I leaned back against the couch with my arms on either side of me while on top of the couch cushions. "So, any other questions?"
Celestia coughed in a hoof, "Yes... but you might want to... pull your towel back up. Your teats are showing." I cursed and pulled it back up while Celestia continued, "I am glad to hear that you do not hold ill will against me or my sister. I am also glad that Twilight sent me a letter detailing everything you talked about during your... bath time." I snorted.
"Yeah, seems that ponies interrupting my bath is a new thing now."
Celestia giggled, "Yes well, I only have one more question for you before I must return to Canterlot." She paused a moment before dawning a mix of a curious and serious look. "Why do you look, and sound, like the famous DJ-Pon3? And before you ask Twilight, I do like to keep up with the current music generation. I don't enjoy just classical after all." Twilight looked sheepish.
I must admit, I did not see this coming... Oh who am I kidding? Of course I saw it coming! I have the exact same hair, name and freaking voice for crying out loud! I'd question her ability to rule of she didn't catch wind of something funky going on. Didn't make it any less awkward to try and explain though. Before I could start my explanation I heard a faint ding.
"Hold that thought. I need to go change real quick." I got up and rushed to the washing machine. While redressing myself, and feeling the wonderful sensation of freshly dried clothes, I thought about how to best explain this little ordeal. I got to the doorway and paused when a thought hit me.
"Why the hell do I need to pussyfoot around this subject? I'll just show them straight up." I thought, and with that I strode in confidently. Reaching the couch I picked my bag up and pulled out my computer.
"Why are you doing?" Asked Twilight.
"Getting my computer out so I can show you why I resemble DJ-Pon3 so much." Spike, Celestia and Twilight looked at each other in confusion.
Spike scratched his head, "What's a computer?"
I'm not much of a computer geek so I just went with a simple answer, "It's a calculator so advanced that I can do more than just math with it."
"Oh, cool." Was his simple answer. I finally found what I was looking for.
"Alright here. Before I show you anything I should say two things first. The first is that I am from a different universe." Celestia looked at me in disbelief, while Twilight, after seeing Sun, seemed a bit more ready to accept that statement. "And the other is that in my world, you Twilight and your friends are a TV show. You have TVs right?"
The others nodded though they still looked at me in disbelief, "Yeah, though they are mostly more common in urban cities. It's rare to find them in towns like Ponyville, the towns still get reception though."
That was interesting, "Alright then. Well yeah, in my world you guys are a TV show. I am a fan of the show, and when I was at a convention I dressed up like a human version of DJ-PON3. I bought a pair of headphones from a merchant and then I was teleported here a thousand years ago while being turned into what I dressed as." Their eyes were widened. "And thanks to multiverse theory there are many Equestrias that have a similar situation happen with another human. Each made a specific 'token' for themselves and send it out into the void between universes. Those tokens then get sent to other people like them, the Displaced. I guess that's the best explanation of why I look like DJ-PON3 and what the Displaced are."
My audience of three sat still, processing the new influx of information.
"This is certainly something." Celestia finally broke the silence. "But I still don't understand how our universe could be entertainment to yours."
I shrugged, "That's the magic of multiverse sister. Pretty much anything is possible when there are infinite possibilities." I paused a bit, "Now, how about I prove to you that what i just said was real?" They nodded. "Good! Here is the first episode of season two, it's when Dissy shows up!"
They paid rapt attention to my computer screen, their jaws were to the ground about a third of the way through and that was when I decided to pause the video.
"Heh, am I right or what?"
Celestia, probably thanks to a millennia of ruling, got rid of her shock rather quickly. "That is... certainly going to give me a case of existential crisis later I'm sure. But you made your point and answered my question. Sadly I must be off now, I will tell my sister that you are no threat and hopefully we can meet once more. This time as friends." She smiled at me and I must admit I felt a warm fuzzy feeling rise up in my chest.
I smiled back, "Yeah... as friends." And with that Celestia's horn lit up and she teleported with a bright flash of light, right back to Canterlot.
After Celestia left there was a lingering silence. I looked at Spike and Twilight and said, "Well, I have a few movies from my world sitting in my computer. Want to watch movies made by aliens?"
Spike perked up. "Oh yeah! Let me go grab some popcorn and gems!"
Twilight finally got herself mentally situated. "Sure, what kind of movie is it?"
I fiddled with the mousepad, "It's about pirates. It's a pretty popular series, and a fun watch when you're bored. Too bad Celestia couldn't stick around, she might enjoy it."
Twilight hummed as she brought a small table over to the couch, I put the computer on it when I found the file. Spike came running back in and situated himself between us so we could all share the rather large bag of popcorn.
"I'm soo glad I don't just have music in this thing." I thought to myself as the movie started up. "I'd probably die of boredom."
