(Days until “The Big Crunch”-10)
I was running along the main hallway towards Lab 2B where the portal was. As soon as I the door was within sight I slowed down to catch my breath for a minute. After I had regained some of my breath, I walked into the lab and one of the scientists gave me a quick salute,
“Greetings Dr. Carbo sir!”
I just gave him a nod to let him know that I heard him and went to inspect the portal.
“Dr. Mercer, how goes the portal?”
He looks up from his data-pad to me and says,
“Well Arenar, the portal itself is stable we just need to finish checking everything to make sure that it’s safe to use.”
“And how long will that take?”
“About 10 days to check and make sure everything is in order”
[Attention all personal. The creature has been sited and will be here in 10 days. Please make sure the portal is operational in time. Thank you and have a nice day!]
After that we all just looked at one another in silence before we all rushed to complete our tasks.
(Days until “The Big Crunch”-1)
The past nine days have been hectic. Tomorrow we start up the portal and begin moving as many people as we can through. I was walking along the main hallway when suddenly the alarms started going off and the PDA system blared out,
[Attention all personal. The creature has arrived. Please enjoy what little time you have left. Thank you and have a nice day!]
At that I sprinted to the portal room to find the scientists franticly moving about with the portal online when Dr. Mercer spotted me he ran up to me and said,
“Well my friend looks like only you will escape.”
Before I could say or do anything he picks me up and tosses me into the portal and suddenly I was surrounded by a rainbow of colors and then nothing.
(Time since entry into Equestria- 5 hours)
I woke to the sound of the steady beeping of a heart monitor and felt the warm embrace of blankets. After some time I began to remember the rainbow of colors that I had seen before blacking out it was at that point that I began to wonder what the inhabitants of this universe looked like. I knew they were friendly at least because otherwise I wouldn’t be in a hospital. My inner contemplating was interrupted when the door open and a white pony with a red plus on its flank walked in with its muzzle pointed at the clip-board that it was somehow carrying and began to mumble to itself,
“Why do I have to check up on the strange creature? For all I know it could attack me if it wakes up! *sigh* sometimes I really hate my job.”
After hearing this I can safely say that the pony is without a doubt female and I decide to put her worries to rest by saying,
“Don’t worry I’m not going to attack you or your kind unless provoked, I’m just curious as to why you would help me despite the fact that I could have attacked you.”
After hearing this she let out an admittedly adorable squeak of fear and turned to face me with eyes wide in fear before she runs out quicker than I can ask her for her name. Afterwards I just lay there in my hospital bed waiting for something to happen. After 20 minutes of waiting the door opens and the nurse from before comes through with some more ponies. Immediately my vision is filled with pink as a high-pitched voice says in a rapid way,
“HIMYNAMEISPINKIEPIEWHAT’SYOURS?DOYOULIKECUPCAKESCACKANDPARTIES?WHAT’SYOURFAVORITEFLAVEROFCAKEANDCUPCAKE?MINEIS…”
Suddenly her rapid babble is cut by my hand clamped over her muzzle as I look at her and say,
“Now I’m going to remove my hand from your muzzle and you are going tell me in a calm manner who you are and repeat your questions to me. Sound good to you?”
I get a nod from the pink pony. After I removed my hand from her muzzle she gives me a bright and cheery smile before saying,
“HI! My name is Pinkie Pie, what’s your name? Do you like cupcakes, cakes, and parties? What’s your favorite flavor of cake and cupcake?”
After I get done thinking I tell her that my name is Arenar Carbo and that yes I do like cupcakes, cakes, and parties and that my favorite flavor of both is chocolate. Before I can say anything else Pinkie zips out the room and leaves me blinking for a bit before I look to the other mares in the room and ask,
“What just happened?”
The purple one says,
“Oh don’t worry about it, it’s just Pinkie being Pinkie. By the way, my name is Twilight Sparkle and I’m the princess of friendship.”
After hearing this I say,
“Well forgive for not bowing princess because as you can see, I am currently unable to.”
After telling me it’s not a problem the orange pony with blond mane tips her cowboy hat at me and says with a southern drawl,
“Howdy there sugercube, mah name’s Applejack Ah help run Sweet Apple Acers, home of the best apples in Equestria!”
Then the white unicorn with a purple mane clears her throat and says with a very refined accent,
“Hello darling, my name is Rarity and I own The Carousel Boutique which is where I make clothes for formal events.”
Next to introduce herself is the cyan Pegasus with rainbow mane says in a bit of a scratchy voice,
“Sup? Name’s Rainbow Dash! Fastest flier in all of Equestria and future Wonderbolt!”
I waited for the sixth mare to speak up but when I looked to where she was before I couldn’t find her so I asked,
“Where is the yellow and pink Pegasus that was here a little bit ago?”
After I said this the others looked for her and came to the realization that she had left. When I asked if it was something I did they told that no she was just shy around new friends and to not worry about it and that she will come around eventually. When I asked for her name Twilight said that her name was Fluttershy and that she took care of sick and injured animals. It was then I discovered a way to try and befriend the shy Pegasus, ask her if she has a favorite animal and if she could point me in the right direction to get a pet of my own when I have my own place. With that in mind I decided that tomorrow I will try and approach Fluttershy. {This should be interesting} was my last thought before turning in that night.
