//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: My Fate // Story: My Life As Princess Luna Because Reasons // by Ragegamer243 //------------------------------// My Life As Princess Luna Because Reasons Chapter 4: My Fate Before anypony could even say anything, Luna dashes right at me with incredible speed, so quick that I didn’t even get a chance to brace myself, so she hit me in full force, really knocked the wind out of me. On top of that, it hurt even more when I hit the wall, but then I noticed that it didn’t hurt as much as it would have if I was still human, otherwise I would have had almost all my bones broken at this point, that or I’d be dead. Anyway, back to the situation at hand….fine, or hoof. I hit the wall hard, I only had a second to grunt in pain before I was wrapped in Luna’s magical aura and pinned against said wall. She then teleported just inches away from me with her horn charged point blank at my face, ready to blow my face off at the slightest thing she sees that she doesn’t like. Her eyes were filled with anger and hostility, her stone cold glare made me think she was staring deep into my soul, I tried to move to avoid her gaze but to no avail as her magic still had me pinned. My heart was racing as I feared for my life. “Who are you?” Luna slowly demanded. I was at an utter loss for words, afraid that what I might say could lead to my demise. When I didn’t answer, “Who are you, and how dare you try to impersonate me, you filthy cur!?!?” She shouted in her Royal Canterlot Voice, which I swear almost blew out my eardrums. “P-Please don’t” I whimpered. I was truly scared right here, I really didn’t want to die right now. I could already tell that Luna just about had enough of me and charged her horn power further, about release that energy on me. “LUNA, WAIT DON’T HURT HIM!!” Celestia cried, right before Luna was about to end me. At that moment, Luna stopped charging her horn but still held me in place, while with me, seeing a trusted face, felt a bit of relief but still cautious. Luna looked to Celestia in confusion, “Wha- Tia? What is the meaning of this?” She stuttered, “This doppelganger has obviously tried to take my place, why are defending it?” I started, “U-U-Umm, i-if you would kind of l-let me expla-” “Silence, fool!!” Luna interrupted as she forwarded her horn to my face again. “No, Luna, I don’t think you understand.” Celestia interjected but stopped before saying anything else, probably trying to figure out how to explain my situation. When she did not not continue immediately, Luna narrowed her eyes. “Understand what, might I ask?” She said. “Um…Let’s just say that he’s lost, in a way.” Celestia responded quite awkwardly. Well given the situation you’re not really far from there, Princess. I remarked in my head, but dared not to speak aloud at this point from the matter at ha-*sigh* (every time), HOOF!!! MY GOD JOHN, YOU’RE NOT HUMAN ANYMORE!! *Sigh* Anyway, as I was saying. Luna just tilts her head in confusion in response to what Celestia said. “It’s a long story, and I think it would do us good to take a moment to calm down and explain our situation.” She adds, seeing the confusion on Luna’s face. Luna looks to me, then looks to her sister, then narrows her eyes at me and I give an awkward smile. She then releases me from her magic and I fall face first onto the floor. “Ow.” After that, Celestia suggested we should have some tea to help with the calm, but not before having to do some explaining with the servants that came by during the whole commotion. Eventually we went to Celestia’s room away from all the confused eyes. From there she explained everything that happened thus far. “So let me see if I understand correctly. You’re saying that a completely random person just suddenly woke up in my bed, in my body no less, had absolutely no connections or reasons as to why he is here, other than by what he says that ‘the universe hates him, apparently’, and you found him in the royal archives just skimming through the scrolls?” Luna summed up and both me and Celestia nodded in confirmation. By the way, Celestia decided to do something to me to help her distinguish between me and the real Luna, so she just gave me a hair tie and put my mane into a ponytail. Anyway. “Are you sure this thing is not just a Changeling given false memories?” Luna reasoned. “I’m pretty sure even then I would have some idea on how to use magic, but I don’t so haha” I retorted. “Also I have a name you know, Celestia already told you.” “Oh excuse me, John, forgive me if I feel that somepony has the nerve to try to fool my sister just to get close to her and take her away or something.” She fired back. “Are we doing this now? Well excuuuuuuse me, Princess, I’m sorry that just fell victim to some otherworldly force that I have absolutely no control over that apparently has a sadistic sense of humor.” I retaliated irritably. “Luna, John, please. We should not be arguing with each other like little children, we should be trying to find a solution to John’s situation.” Celestia interjected in a motherly tone. “Oh yes, please tell me how you think you’re gonna fix this.” I sassed whilst gesturing to my current form, despite my better self, but I had a hard day so I was kind of irritated. “Silence you!! You should be grateful that my sister is helping you at all, lest you fall by my blade” Luna scolded me. I opened my mouth to give another response, but backed down, not because of Luna’s threat, no. Despite everything that was going on, my mind suddenly wandered back to my world. Back to my friends. It took me a good minute to realize how much I was beginning to miss my world, to realize I was getting a little homesick. I brought a hoof to my head and let my head hang down. At this point, I was holding back tears, trying to keep control of myself… I failed… and I broke down after that. Celestia and Luna was bearing witness to this, Celestia looked to her sister with a face saying, “Now you’ve done it” all over it, with Luna following suit with her face saying, “What did I do?” Celestia came over to me and placed her wing on my back to try and comfort me. “I’m sorry, John, you don’t really have to listen to my sister’s comments.” She soothed, obviously getting the wrong idea on my situation. I got the least control I had at the time to calm her nerves a little bit, “No, no, it’s not her, i-it’s just. *sigh* *sniff* It’s *sigh* oh my god, I-I.” I whimpered, trying to get my words out. Doing my best to clear my head, I continued. “I-It’s just that I just realized how much miss my home.” I managed to let out before breaking down again. I didn’t really see it, but Celestia felt pretty bad for me, but Luna, although softened a little, still seemed a little untrusting. “How do I know you’re not just playing us for fools? How do you know so much about us without being in our world? How can I believe your tale?” “YOU WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND!!!” I snapped angrily. “You might have understood if someone shared your darkness, you would have understood if someone was some reformed evil, but that’s not my case!” I stood up against the lunar princess, and slowly walked toward her. “Can you imagine just being ripped from your world for a reason you don’t even know? When you’ve done nothing wrong in your life and you’ve been convicted for an unknown crime that you didn’t commit? When you have loving friends and family that you didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye to? And you don’t even know when or even IF you’re going to return or not. SO TELL ME!! TELL ME IF YOU CAN RELATE!!” I shouted in pure anger towards Luna, with tears streaming freely down my face. At that moment, I lost all energy to stand and I fell to the ground just sobbing. No joke, I was actually crying, I actually missed my world and I didn’t know if I was even going to see it again. I felt alone, helpless, and I almost felt that nobody could help me, almost. Both Celestia and Luna watched as I weeped in despair. Celestia I guess could relate a little, her sister was pretty much taken away from her by Nightmare Moon, that’s when her world crumbled, and she was forced to live with it for a thousand years. She looks to Luna, whose face was just filled guilt. Couldn’t really blame her, she didn’t know, she couldn’t have for sure. Who was she to judge someone as lost, alone, and confused as I. The two sisters looked at each other with the same thought, though they couldn’t sympathize with me, the least they could do is to try to comfort me as best they can. As I felt their embrace around me, I held tightly to them, and as I did, I felt a small amount of comfort, and I wanted it to last. It took me a good ten minutes, but I was able to calm down. After a few moments of silence I finally spoke. “Why?” I ask quietly. “Why do I have to be here? What have I done wrong? Is this my fate right now? To be alone in a foreign world? So many questions, all without answers. I just can’t take it.” Celestia was the first to respond. “John, we may not be able to provide you any answers, but know that there is always an answer to any question.” “And we can be there to find them with you.” Luna adds in with a smile. I look at the two princesses, after a few moments, I was became overwhelmed with relief and I burst into tears of joy, with the knowledge that I’ll at least have some help. “Thank you, thank you both. You probably don’t know how much this means to me.” I croaked while in tears. “I’m sorry that I snapped at you guys, I was kind of not myself in a way.” I apologized. “You do not need to apologize, my friend, we will just be with you to help you through this.” Celestia reassured me. “I’d like that, thank you again.” I responded. And now I’m here. Right now, I’m getting by, it’s only been a day since I arrived here, but I think I’ll manage here. But now that I think of it, I feel that it’s probably going to get a bit more interesting around here, don’t know why though, may or not be my imagination though, I might as well find out soon enough. It’s night right now, so I might as well rest now. Meanwhile…. I’m kind of swaying between consciousness, god I don’t wanna wake up yet, I’m actually surprised my alarm hasn’t sounded yet. You know what? I don’t think I realized how comfortable my bed was sometimes, then again, this seems more comfortable than usual. “H-Hey, stay where you are.” I hear an unfamiliar voice say. Meh, someone’s probably in my house…….SOMEONE’S IN MY HOUSE?!? My eyes shot open and I look around for the source of the voice, but I look around the room seeing it’s all crystals and stuff. “Wait this isn’t my house.” I observed, but then I turned to look behind me and I see the last thing I’d expect to see, Twilight Sparkle, for real. “What the- how- HOW DID I GET HERE?!? HOW ARE YOU HERE?!?” I shout pointing my hoof at her, wait hoof?!? “WHY AM I A PONY?!?” Mirror mirror, I NEED A MIRROR!! I run to a nearby crystal which just happens to be as reflective as a mirror. Oh. My. God. WHY AM I TWILIGHT?!? At this point, I’m screaming. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!” “W-What is going on here?” Twilight asks clearly as confused as I am. “I was gonna ask you the same question, because I don’t know!!” I respond, still panicking, but trying to control myself. “O-Okay, wait a second, w-we need to take a breath and calm down here, can you do that for me?” Twilight instructed. I look at the purple alicorn. She’s taking this surprisingly calmly right now but I decided to comply and took a few deep breaths. After a few moments, I calmed down. “Are you okay now?” She asks. I nodded to respond. “First things first, what’s your name? I took on more deep breath before answering. “My name is Hannah, Hannah Edwards.” End of Chapter 4
