Suddenly, Young Again!

by RealityWarper


Child Services? No thank you.

Does this count as a bad trip?

I can only wonder why the fuck I thought it'd be a good idea to mix DMT, Salvia, LSD, and mushrooms all together in one giant cluster-fuck of a psychedelic. Not to mention, I'd put shit load of amounts of it all at once. I literally wasn't even in the same damn world anymore. Which is exactly why I found myself looking into the reflection of what I suppose was... Myself.

I say myself, but really the techni-colored small horse was really what I saw.

The foal had a coat that was white as snow, it's eyes were a terrifying charcoal black. For such a cute cartoony horse it's eyes sure were chilling, cold even. They observed me from my current perch- Which was actually in a puddle, on the edge of a forest. The mane followed, it was oddly also familiar- A deep black tinged with some hints of hints of silver running through them. It was done in a rather haphazard scene hair cut. Which, looked slightly off on the body of a pony. Kinda cute. There was a horn jutting out the middle of well, my forehead. It looked sorta jagged. I was actually wondering if it was sharp enough to hurt. I gave it a small rap of my hoof.

"FUCK ME SIDE-WAYS!" I pulled my hoof away, to note that it had been cut into lightly as I'd applied more force than intended. The blood lightly dropped onto the ground.

This is either the best, or the worst thing to ever fucking happen to me. Though, let's try to keep that thought process out to avoid a bad trip.

This was amazing, no amount of words could do this justice. It was so startling, to look into a reflection and see someone- something- else other than yourself. Though, it did look similar to me. Just... a tiny pony. I'm going to assume, until further notice that I'm currently inhabiting the body of a child. I've always wanted to be a little kid again. Wish come true, sorta? I'm experiencing it, just not in the world I would have preferred. But perhaps this world would be better, just have to see what comes out of it first. Even if it is my own world, created by my drug addled mind. Firstly, I need a plan. Perhaps locating civilization. If my mind even conjured one. Though, usually when I'm on a lifetime trip I do live in towns. This is the first I was on the outskirts of a forest. Hell, in the distance I could make out a town. Suddenly, a shadow fell over me- I craned my head to look up. Above me, I saw a circling creature that I'd assume was a bird. Strangely, it looked to be debating whether or not to come down. It seemed to ascend, and descend. After about a minute it turned tail and flew back to the town's direction, though. Was still cool to watch seeing as I was actually tripping out, and that was rather vivid looking. To be honest, I'm just glad it decided not to eat me. I don't care where the hell it went, as long as it wasn't bothering me.

Best. Fucking. Trip. Ever.

Now, the truth is I was likely at home doped up on the floor drooling like an idiot as my body was splayed for all to see that weren't on trips with me. Currently though, in my own mind I was in a whole 'nother world so it wouldn't really matter. Now, due to change in time perception I could literally be here for years. I need food and water- even in my brain it seems- as I was hungry. And here I was thinking I ate. I was sure I'd eaten a bag of chips before tripping out.

Guess not.
Giving a tiny shrug- as much as I possibly could anyhow- I then made my way to town.

First, find people.

Second, find food.

Next, find shelter- I'm going to be here for awhile.

Lastly, I-

Oof.

I landed on my ass from the impact- though whatever I ran into hadn't been so hard. Suddenly, blocking my vision was a large fluffy light blue colored wall...

No wait, that's not a wall... That's a huge ass horse!

Looking up, I saw the face of a concerned bizarrely rainbow maned , fuchsia eyed, sky-blue pony. Who may I add; was much larger than I am, which means my child theory was correct.

"Uhh..." The Rainbow Pony began with the universal sound of curiosity. I simply sat there, expectantly as she expressed her confusion vocally and physically as she peered around the surrounding area, looking for someone or something apparently. Or maybe she was checking for someone before she tried something to kidnap and molest me. "Squirt, what are you doing out here? Where are your parents?" If my theory hadn't been confirmed then, it sure had now. I'm a child. Suddenly, I was young again.

"I don't have any. You're not here to kidnap me are you? Because I have ROTC ninja skills. I'll kick your shit in." I warned, half-honestly, as I was an orphan- And I did know SOME ROTC, and was far used to all the name calling that came with it. I'd gotten into plenty fights in my time though The rainbow haired pony, though looked like she'd been slapped in the face as soon as I said that. She licked her lips, glancing around the surrounding area. She didn't know exactly what to do.

"You've got a filthy mouth. Where 'ya comin' from, kid?" Where was I coming from? Was she asking the location that I'd been previously. I needed to go about this very carefully, as if I didn't this would be very catastrophic.

"I don't... know?"

So hear me out, that was as careful as I could be. I couldn't go telling her that she was a figment of a drug induced stupor. So I could only tell her something that wouldn't enrage her. Best option being, I don't know exactly where I'd come from. I'm a lost child, and I need help. She could give me food, water, and shelter- and hopefully wasn't a pedophile. If she was, things were going to go south fast.

'Rainbow' for her part looked baffled.

"You don't know? Wha'ddya mean you "don't know"?"

"I don't know." She seemed highly skeptical. I pushed my statement, with a little more force than necessary to let her know that I wasn't going to be questioned. Her face did this really weird thing, like it contorted between something of annoyance and concern- before concern won out.

"I don't really know what to do." She began slowly. "But I know who would, she's a bit of a egg-head but she's a good pony. One of my best friends, actually." She said proudly, huffing her chest out. Which I personally found adorable- not that I would ever voice this outside of my thoughts. But being hallucinations, I suppose she already knew that? Before I could so much as even think about protesting, I was snatched up from the ground.

"Wha- Hey!"

Now here's where things got wild.

It happened in only a few seconds; Firstly, I felt my gravity fight itself- And I felt compressed from the sudden motion.

Secondly, I couldn't breathe. There was too much air assaulting my face for me to breathe correctly.

Nextly, my eyes began watering and the world began blurring before me as we were moving at fast speeds I didn't even register.

This is the most realistic hallucination I've ever experienced...

Lastly, we had landed outside of some hollowed out- still-living tree. She had me by the scruff of my neck the whole way, still being held by her teeth. Without warning, the door was forcefully busted open and the blue pony gently lowered me onto the floor like I was going to break the moment she let go. She then patiently waited for the patrons of this... literal tree house to come down.

"Jesus H fucking Christ, what the hell were thinking doing that shit without warning?" The Rainbow pony cringed, to my delight as she was bombarded with my foul mouthed cursing due to; A: Her recklessness, and B: her horrible mistake of thinking I was going to take that mind fucking lying down.

Absently, as I was inhaling deeply to keep from lunch from coming out- I noted the sheer size of this library. It was amazing, I was a huge book nerd too- so this was just heaven for me at the moment. I'd need to read all this, but I needed to wait for the librarian. Which didn't take very long, as I was greeted to the sight of an extremely tired looking lavender Unicorn who immediately locked eyes with 'Rainbow'. Her face shifted from wary- only to change once she saw who it was to a look of fury, simmering down to annoyance, then to curiosity as she suddenly turned her wondering gaze on to myself.

"Rainbow Dash, we need to have a talk now about breaking and entering. And, who is this little guy and why does he look like he went through a storm?" True to her statement, I still felt jittery from the mind blowing experience of having my internal organs shifted from the sudden acceleration. I was shaking, whether for anxiety or adrenaline was up to the imagination. Numbly I note how stupid it is that her name is actually Rainbow, how cliche could it get? Why couldn't my mind be more creative?

"That's not important right now, Twi'." She rushed out, apparently not wanting to retell the tale of her sheer recklessness. I was halfway to putting the blue blur in her place. I bit my tongue, I would allow her to get away with this, if only because I was still reeling from the experience. Vengeance would be mine, as soon as was in the right of mind. I think my heart was in my skull now. Shakily, I turned to shoot a withering glare at the rainbow Pegasus who at least had the decency to look sheepish, and slightly nervous. That alleviated some of my anger, and turned it into an annoyance and confusion. This did draw a raised brow from who I assume to be the 'Egg-Head'. "Besides, this is a public library. I should be allowed to come in." Rainbow pointed out. "Anyway, I was having my mid-day nap when-"

"Wait wait, Mid-day nap? Also, there's a difference between disturbing the peace and announcing your presence."

"-Fluttershy came knocking at my door, saying some kid was coming out the forest. Apparently, there were dragon sightings in that area so she rushed to me since she was too afraid to go. I talked to him." She motioned toward me with her hoof, completely ignoring the miffed slightly red Twi's words- to my utter amusement. "Annnnd, apparently he..." She leans in, speaking lowly like she was afraid of her execution, which I found hilarious. "Doesn't have any parents." 'Twi''s mouth shaped into an 'o' expression. The red faded from her cheeks, and instead she donned a look of worry and concern. Her big cute expressive eyes conveying their apparent distress for me. Though, their eyes were... Insanely huge, so it was also very creepy. How the hell are their eyes not rolling out their skulls?

"A-Are you sure?"Life seemed to continue even when I wasn't paying attention. The Lavender pony held a hoof up to stop any accusations, as she saw the scathing glare given to her by Rainbow Dash with annoyance laced in from being questioned in her authenticity in making such a claim.

"Yea'. Ask him." She said, nudging me with her big meaty hoof. I was just about ready to snap at her hoof and bite off the offending limb. I for one was still shaken, and had to force down the urge to also scream 'PEDOPHILE' and jab a my hand- no hoof, at Rainbow Dash- because of her sudden kidnapping. This was one hell of a drug, though. Rainbow Dash didn't seem so bright. She just asked a 'kid' who might have been recently orphaned. It showed by the dawning horror on Twi's face. Rainbow Dash followed soon after, after she realized what she just did. I didn't reply vocally, I only nodded at them both, only half paying attention. My gaze was roaming around the library, and landing back on the two ponies. Two talking ponies, this FUCKING hallucination is amazing! To them though, I was wide eyed, shaking, and looking generally lost- Which was reflected by Rainbow Dash's expression of guilt. Twi bit her lip, wondering what she should do next. After about a moment of consideration, she finally spoke up.

"We need to talk to child services. There's a department here, but I don't know where it is, and this is out of my field. I can't control what this little guy does without proper permission." One; Control? Someone here is a control freak by the looks, and these guys- girls, horses- WHATEVERS- were going to try to put me in an orphanage? Over my cold dead body. Which, hopefully wasn't actually dead in the actual world. I shook my head profusely.

"Child Services? No way! You are NOT sending me to some shitty place where they send you to a hell-hole where the adults get paid to secretly fuck kids. Been there once, not going with that one again. This is my trip, and I'm not gonna waste it letting you guys parade me to hell." That admittedly, wasn't always the case but I needed too express my point to these kidnappers they weren't going to send me to some hell-hole. They apparently, got the point as they were both openly gaping at me like I'd admitted I was a serial rapist. They were trying to apparently wrap their heads around just how bad Orphanages was. What I didn't expect, was both of them to turn white as sheets though like they'd seen ghost as they slowly began registering my words.

"I think this is out of our hooves... We're going to need to get some... professional help." The lavender pony said meekly, completely ignoring my words. Plan B then. Run the fuck away.

"Fuck that shit! Nope nope nope!"

I turned tail, instantly trying to run away to get somewhere- anywhere away from these assholes trying to send me to a nightmare. I wasn't going to waste my awesome ass trip reliving my horrible child-hood. In hindsight, I think I should have known that this wasn't just a trip. I wouldn't have ran my mouth as so freely as I did.

Apparently, Fate had other plans as something collided not so painfully with the back of my skull and I fell on the floor dreaming blissfully as my world faded to black.

I had fell asleep before I even hit the floor.

Ain't that some shit?
