I started to open my eyes and couldn't belive what I saw. I was in a basement with a giant purple lizard coming down the stairs. "Oh shit. This can't be a dream." "Who's there?" The lizard said. I don't think he has noticed me yet, so if I just duck below the covers... Oh fuck he's comIng over here. Get ready to jump up and scare him away. 1.. 2.. 3 "RAAAAGH" "AHHHHHH" The lizard screamed and ran upstairs screaming. "Twilight Twilight! There is a monster downstairs!" Wait, he knows Twilight? Shit, I probably fucked up. Twilight came down the stairs and saw me, and I smiled sheepishly and waved. "Hey Twilight, sorry about that." "Morning James, now that I think about it, I should have told you about Spike, my assistant. He is a baby dragon." "A dragon? What's next, a gryphon?" "Well..." "There are gryphons, aren't there?" "Yea." "Oh god! This can't be happening. This isnt possible!" "Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "Not really, I am stuck in a world of mythical beasts with no way home!" "James, please calm down, you can meet my friends and Princess luna today. The princesses may have a way to get you back home." "Well at least there is some good news." "Ill call you up when my friends get here." Twilight and Spike walked up the stairs, leaving me on my cot. I started to think what I would do if I couldn't get home. Man this sucks ass. I put my hands in my pockets and felt something. "My phone! Wait, it can't have any signal." I checked if it did and somehow, it had five bars! "How the f-. You know what? I'm going to stop questioning this world. I have to send a text to my friend to see if it goes through!" Hey David, did you get this text?< >Yea, why? This is going to sound crazy, but im stuck in a world with mythical beasts and colorful ponies.< >... Do you belive me?< >Yea, why wouldnt I I don't know, it just sounds impossible.< >Well I have no reason to think you are lying. Well, can you get back home? The ponies, who are sentient, are working on it< >Wow. I gotta go, catch you later. Yea. Bye< At least I am not completely disconnected from earth. A few hours later I saw Twilight walking down the stairs. "The princesses and my friends are here. Come on up." I got up and walked up the stairs and when I got to the main floor I saw 5 new ponies, Celestia, and who I assumed to be Princess Luna. Her mane was somehow like a starry night, and her coat was a deep blue. I hadn't noticed untill now, but every pony had some sort of tattoo on thier flank. Inhould ask about those later. "Everpony, meet James. James, these are my friends. This one is Applejack," she gestured to an orange earth pony with a yellow mane and stetson. "Howdy James." Twilight then pointed to a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane. "This is Rainbow Dash." Rainbow Dash just kinda just stared at me like I was a threat and didn't say anything. "Rainbow, he isn't a spy." Twilight said. "I'll still keep an eye on him." Twilight then pointed to an empty space, but when I looked behind Rainbow Dash I saw a yellow Pegasus quivering, as if in fear of me. "Fluttershy, he isn't a monster, and he isn't going to hurt you. Don't mid her, she is a bit shy." Next up was a white unicon with a purple mane. "This is Rarity." Rarity then nodded at me. Twilight then pointed to an empty space. "This is Pinkie Pie." "Uhh, Twilight, there is nothing there." "Oh great, she is probbaly planning a "Welcome to Ponyville" party right now for you." "But she doesn't even know me. And I won't be staying for long." Celestia then spoke up, "James, about that... My sister and I are having troble finding a way to recreate the magical conditions needed for a portal to open." Luna then spoke up, "The magical conditions you need are very extreme and very difficult for us to accomplish." Celestia then spoke again, "Because you may be here for quite some time, my sister and I would like to introduce you to our culture and history, so we invite you to come to Canterlot tomorrow. We will send a carriage to pick you up at eight in the morning. But for now, I'm afraid this was all the time we had for today. See you soon, James." The princesses then turned around and walk out thte door. "Oh god, I don't want to be stuck here forever!" "It's okay James, the princesses are the most powerful beings on the planet, I'm sure they'll figure something out." Twilight's friends started leaving, and once they were gone, I thought I had to tell her about my phone. "Hey Twilight?" "Yea James?" "My people made a device that lets us communicate with others by using radio waves, and it is called a mobile phone, and when I came here I had mine on me." "And?" Twilight seemed interested. "Well, they have to have radio towers for them to work, so when I checked it this morning, you would not belive how suprised I was when it had signal. And to make sure it wasn't glitching, I contacted my friend back home and it worked!" "That's great James! Can I see your phone?" "Sure." I pulled out my smartphone and showed her how it worked. "Wow! This is amazing technology! All this without magic?" "Yep." "I admire hmans so much more now... This is just.. Wow." "I am still suprised that it works. Ill set an alarm for tomorrow morning. Before I forget. I think I am going to go lay down for a while Twi." "Twi?" "Just a nickname. It is easier than saying Twilight." "Okay James." Once I was in bed I texted David again to give him the news Hey David, got some bad news.< >Hey man, what's up? The ponies may not be able to make a portal home for some time.< >That really sucks. Yea. By the way, how long has it been since I last texted?< >About an hour. Why? Wow, it has been about 6 hours on my side.< >That is quite a jump of time I head Twi calling my name. Hey, I gotta go, talk to you later.< >Bye I went up stairs to see what was going on, when I saw all the lights were out. "Hello?" The lights flicked on and I saw what looked like a party. "SUPRISE!"
