a not so dynamic entry
How did I get here?
That was the one question that plagued my mind at this moment. but then I began to remember.
I had just failed another job interview, it was raining. the rain was beating down on the pavement that people were actually running in a feeble attempt to avoid it. running from shelter to shelter in the hopes that they would get to their destination dry enough. it was 4:55pm. I was grumbling under my breath cursing my luck. I felt myself standing on the edge of something.
"what the fuck" i looked down, a bizarre circle was in front of me. I put my foot back, and as if fate was blatantly laughing at me, I slipped on a cliche banana peel. I fell through the portal, feeling the wind through my hair. I felt myself becoming dry, and saw the grassy earth coming up to meet me.
There was a loud crash, and the sound of wood being splintered. I heard a shout, and footsteps coming up the stairs.
then there was a loud gasp. "oh my word, what... are you?"
My vision was blurry, using what was left of my strength, I simply waved.
she then heard me say a small "help me" and before long rushed off.
She ran back up the stairs and soon began to patch me up. "Sweetie Belle! Go fetch Twilight and Fluttershy please!"
I heard more footsteps, a door slamming and a slightly panicky woman.
"Calm down," I croaked "Miss, do you have any asprin? i've got a splitting headache" I Chuckled.
She shot me a look. "Really now? is that the best you could come up with?" my vision slowly returned.
"landed on my head... and now I'm seeing People with... natural purple hair?" a look of fear overtook my calm, injured demeanor.
"calm down," she shot me a warm smile,"darling, whats your name?"
I sighed. "Watashinonamaeha?... namae wa Nightly Alan desu" Slipping into Japanese, I sighed once more.
"huh? was that ancient draconic?" I lifted my head up and there she was. standing there with a book and a worried expression on her face. "Chōdo watashi un, my name is Alan Nightly" I gave a half-hearted smile.
"So, how did you end up through my roof? you don't have wings" the refined woman asked, she sounded canadian.
"in a word? hydra" I sighed.
The bookworm gave me a raised eyebrow and a sigh. "I guess we should introduce ourselves, My name's Twilight Sparkle"
the refined woman then gave me a smile. "Rarity, and welcome to the Carousel boutique, where every thing is unique, chic and magnifique"
I could tell right away that i'd like it here.
a third voice entered the fray. "Oh my... what happened?"
I looked at the pink haired girl in front of me. "just look up" I grinned.
She did, and could see the sizable hole I had left in the roof.
"That was you?" I simply nodded.
"nodding hurts my head" I chuckled slightly as the three women giggled.
I quickly learnt that the third woman was of course, Fluttershy.
"can you walk?" Twilight asked as she offered a hand. I took her hand, as she pulled me up.
"only one way to find out" I grinned.
I took a few steps, then started picking up bits of wood. "it's only fair," Rarity looked as though she was about to make a fuss. "you're hurt, yet you're tidying up after yourself?" She exclaimed, a look of worry shot over her face.
"Someones got to, and it sure as hell wont be any of you" I grunted as I lifted a heavy beam onto the pile of debris.
I clutched my head in pain. "gahh... anybody got any painkillers?" I asked nobody in particular.
Twilight's hands started to glow an erie color. a wave of relief befell me. "ok...what the hell was that?"
"um... magic" Fluttershy said quietly.
"really?... well, I'll call it like I see it," I pointed a finger at Twilight "Magi"
Twilight simply nodded. "ok.. ok.. Seraphim" pointing at Fluttershy, taking note of the canary-like wings on her back.
"and finally... another magi!" Pointing once more at Rarity.
She raised an eyebrow. "how did you know? I havent done any magic yet!" the canadian exclaimed.
"something in the air" I grinned.
I took a tentative stretch. The three women grimaced as the sounds of bones cracking were heard.
"Heh, sorry" I sighed.
"So, where are you from?" Twilight asked.
As i explained my story, the expressions on her face changed dramatically, from intrigue to worry.
"... and thats how i ended up here" I decided it was best to remain optimistic.
I watched as Twilight pulled out a pen and scroll. "okay? what are you doing?"
"Writing a letter to Celestia" I looked at a clock.
"Dude, its... 11pm... send it in the morning"
She simply sighed, then nodded. "need a place to stay?" She asked.
"Yep, stranded like... well... a stranded person" I could have sworn Twilight had just face-palmed.
"He can stay here" Rarity smiled.
"Sleeping on the sofa? reminds me of college" I chuckled.
"Really?"
"Yeah, they had some uncomfortable sofas" I grinned.
"Why were you sleeping on sofas?"
"Lost a bet, had to go homeless for two weeks"
There was another face-palm from Rarity this time. "men and their stupid challenges"
"Too right" I chuckled.
