I leaned back in my office chair and sighed, "I am so freaking sweaty right now."
My name is Timothy Adams, I'm 22 years old, born and raised in New York State. I've been dating this sweet girl named Cassandra for about a month now, I'm in good standings with my family. My mom and dad, plus a sister. I even have a job, I'm a programmer for a small video game company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Bad news, it's freaking hot as balls in the studio. The air conditioners are broken. Plus, I was done with all my work so I'm just sitting here for the last few minutes.
"Relax Tim, you only got two minutes left," Jeffrey, my co-worker says. He was more bulkier than I was and stood at a whopping 7 feet. Yeah crazy. He also had black hair and was 25 years old. At the moment, he was designing an enemy for the game, then he takes a glance at me. "Though it doesn't help that you wore a black shirt today."
I looked down at my clothes, I had a pair of blue jeans on, and of course a black t-shirt that says Naughty Dog on the front. Speaking of appearances, I am 6 feet tall with dirty blonde hair and dark blue eyes. Other than that, not much else to say. I was a bit skinny but nothing else really stood out.
"You okay there Tim? You've been staring at the floor for the past minute," Jeffrey snapped me out of my thoughts. Then the clock hit 6 in the afternoon and I got up.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said as I gathered my things. "See ya!"
"Yep," Jeffrey said as he went back to work.
Happily, I exited the building to find an unexpected suprise. My best friend Jon Jones, yeah that's his name, or JJ for short, was standing right outside. Next to him was my beautiful girlfriend Cassandra Bates. Immediately, Cassandra comes and gives me a big hug and kiss. Cassandra was gorgeous, she had long brown hair and beautiful green eyes, though she was shorter than me at 5 feet, but that didn't matter. She wore a T-Shirt that had a picture of one of those ponies from that show, My Little Pony. I didn't watch the show myself, but I didn't mind that my girlfriend watched it.
As soon as she let go, Jon came up and slapped me on the back. I gave a little grunt and he laughed. Jon himself was around the same height as me and had black hair and green eyes. He also wore a shirt that said Grit's Ribcage and Hardhat. I didn't get the reference, I should ask about it later.
Cassandra then spoke up, "Don't hit him too hard Jon, he's getting old!"
They laughed, "Hey, 22 is not old! You're only 2 years younger than me! And Jon's the same age as me!" I said.
"Don't bring me into this Tim!" Jon said.
I decided to take the sarcastic approach, "Oh? Guess I was slapped by the invisible man, huh?"
"Touché," Jon said.
Now it was my turn to laugh. We were having a good time just walking to my apartment, when I heard a familiar voice from behind.
"Yo! Tim!" Jeffrey called as he ran up to me.
I turned around to see him catching his breath, "What's up Jeffey?"
"Don't call me that," he panted. Eventually he stood up and held out his hand. In it was my phone! "You forgot this."
I smiled, "Thanks man!" He smiled as well as I took it from him. I could hear sirens in the distance but I didn't think anything of it. Then I had an idea.
"Hey man, hows about you come with us to my house? It's game night!" I said excitedly. The sirens were getting louder as I finished the question.
I noticed he was staring behind me. "Jef-"
"LOOK OUT!"
I couldn't even finish my sentence as I was thrown towards the pavement on the street by Jeffrey. Immediately, I felt pain shoot up my arm as I landed on it. Then I heard a sudden crash and screaming! Quickly as I could, got up, clutching my arm. I turned back towards where my friends were and was horrified when I saw a car on the sidewalk, it must've slammed right into the wall we were next too. Then, I realized that my friends were nowhere to be seen!
"Guys!" I yelled. I started running to the wrecked car to find no one was there, not even a driver! "Where'd my friends go!?"
"Over here, Tim!" I heard a voice on the verge of crying. On the other side of the car was Cassandra, slumped against the wall.
"Oh God! Cassandra! Are you hurt? Where's Jeffrey and Jon?" I heard a police car screech to a halt nearby.
"I'm fine. But, I...oh god Tim! Jon pushed me out of the way and then I saw them get by that car! Where are they?!"
"I...I don't know," I said as I started to cry as well. This was too much. Then I heard a car door slam and whipped around to see a cop come towards me. "Oh thank god, officer, my friends hurt and I don't know-"
"Freeze!" I stopped as the officer pointed a gun at me. I also heard Cassandra say, 'that voice'.
I didn't really think about what she said, my eyes were focused on the gun. "I'm not the drunk driver if that's what you're thinking. My friends need help!"
Then the cop actually freaking smiled! "Oh I know that you're not!"
Then he looked me dead in the eyes, which gave me the creeps as his eyes seemed different somehow. "But you're friends aren't the ones that need help, mine do."
Then I heard Cassandra gasp, "Tim, I know that voice! He sounds like-"
Immediately, a gunshot rang out and I turned to see Cassandra look at me with wide eyes and she immediately disappeared, no fading or anything. Just bam, and shes gone!
I literally screamed her name and looked back at the officer, "What the hell's wrong with you!?"
"Don't be so harsh, Timmy! I'm doing this for the good of everyp...er, everybody," he said.
"No you're not! You just killed my girlfriend!" I said angrily. I was over being sad, now, I was furious. I clenched my fists.
The cop didn't even flinch, but what he said next shocked me to the core. "No I didn't, I just sent her to my universe."
"Wha?" I thought he was joking at first, but the way he said it...
"Well," he looked at a wristwatch I swore he didn't have on before. "Our Q&A time is done, nice talking to you Timmy." He pointed the gun directly at me, I was frozen in place, nearly pissing myself. "Just remember, you and your friends our the Multiverses only hope. Cheesy, I know, but roll with it."
Before I could say anything else, he shot me. But, strangely, it didn't feel like a bullet. It felt as if my body just got too tired to move.
As my world faded to black I could hear the cop hum a familiar tune.
The first sensation I had next was the wind rushing against my body. Confused, I took a daring peak at my surroundings. But all I saw was ground coming straight towards me. Fast.
"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-"
I closed my eyes as I braced for impact. I could feel the ground crack beneath me. But, oddly, I felt no pain. Except for some nausea. At this point my eyes were still closed and I felt like I was laying on my belly. Though, my body felt weird.
"I think it came from over here!" I heard a voice say, sounded like a woman. Though my eyes were still closed. The sound of...hooves filled the air. Hooves? Where was I? "Right through...here..."
The voices stopped once they got near. "Is that a...dragon?" I heard singular hoofsteps get closer ever so slowly.
"Twilight! What if it attacks you?" A raspy voice said.
Twilight? That sounded familiar. Wait...DRAGON?! Slowly but surely, I opened my eyes. To see the blinding light of the sun. I groaned as I closed them again.
"Um? Hello?" Another voice in front of me said. These voices sounded strangely familiar. Again I opened my eyes. Then I wish I hadn't. Right in front of me was Twilight Sparkle, from my girlfriend's favorite show. She was purple, that much was obvious. Her...mane?...and tail were a very deep purple with two stripes, a hot pink one and a violet one. Of course the face was flatter than a horses with huge eyes. She also had her signature horn and wings.
I sighed, "Dear god tell me I'm dreaming."
"Ummm, you're not?" She said.
I sighed again, my body still felt weird. But I didn't feel like getting up. So I decided to ask her what's wrong. "What's my status doc?"
"What?" She asked. I heard other hoofsteps approaching.
I rolled my eyes, "Anything physically wrong with me?"
She looked me over, "Nope, as far as I can tell, you're a perfectly healthy drake. Now, might I asked what happened?"
My eyes widened, "Come again?"
She gave me a confused look, "What happened?"
"No before that!"
"You're a healthy dragon?"
Tentatively, I brought my arm in front of me. Instead of a normal arm, there was a bulky arm with blue scales and freaking claws at the end! I did the most rational thing I could think of, scream. With speed of lightning, I sat on my arse and looked over my body. I was at least 15 feet tall, and was blue. Behind me were spikes going down my back, and down my long tail. Of course my wings were wide open and were pretty decently sized.
I looked back at Twilight, who had backed towards her friends. They were looking at me with a mix of confusion and fear. The rainbow haired one with a cyan body stepped up. "Wait, you didn't know you were a dragon?"
I looked at them, how would they react if I told them I was a creature from another universe, if the crazy cop was to be believed. I decided to lie, "No I knew, I was just joshing you."
Then the orange one came up to me, with her braided golden mane and stetson hat. "Now that's a complete lie and y'all know it! Mind tellin' us the truth?"
"Um..." I was cornered and I knew it,they were all giving me accusing glances. Except for a few, Twilight and Fluttershy had concerned expressions. Pinkie was just smiling, she probably knew. Princess...Celestia was just putting on her poker face. I was getting more and more nervous until what looked to be a messager pony came flying down and landed next to Celestia, I managed to hear the conversation from where I was.
"It's been reported that 2 meteors have crashed in Cloudsdale and the Everfree, respectively. Our scouts also say one landed in the badlands," the pegasus said.
My eyes went wide at that, 3? Could it be...
"Alright, keep me posted on them. They could be regular meteorites or..." Celestia stopped as she saw me, my eyes were still wide. Dang it. "You seem to know something don't you, Mr...?"
I was the center of attention again. Guess there's no beating around the bush now. "I might have an idea of who they are."
"They?" Everyone looked at me questioningly.
"Yeah, I can't explain much but, I think they might be my friends."
"More dragons?" Rainbow eyed me suspiciously.
"To be honest, I don't know," I said scratching my head. If I turned into a dragon, what about them?
"You mean you don't know what your friends look like?" Twilight asked.
"Well, I..." I really didn't want to tell them everything. I felt my wings on my back. Maybe I could escape? Look for them myself? That'd be my backup plan. "Look, why don't we just go to where they are and let me see who they are first."
"I'm sorry, but until I know exactly who you are, I can't let you leave," Celestia said.
"You mean you're just going to make me a prisoner?" I said angrily. I felt something rise in my stomach area.
"I never said that," she said calmly.
"Bullcrap! What is it with people today?! First that weird cop with the yellow and red eyes shoots my friends, now I'm being kept prisoner?!" I could feel a burp coming up for some reason.
"Did you say yellow and red eyes?" Twilight asked, though I didn't hear her in my rampage.
"What else could go wrong!?" I yelled as smoke came out of my mouth. That burp was reaching my mouth.
"Um...Mr. Dragon?" Someone said. But I barely heard it as somebody yelled 'get out of the way'! And I literally let loose a stream of freaking fire from my mouth! It kept coming and coming and I didn't know how to stop it. Eventually though, it stopped and I immediately felt very tired after. My body weakened quickly and I fell back to the ground, and for the second time that day, I blacked out.
