Slowly, out the darkness, a voice. No, wait. There were other voices. Multiple other voices. These voices sounded so familiar, from somewhere but I just couldn't place them. The world was slowly coming together in my head. The blackness was slowly receding away. I could feel the sun's warmth on my face. I was laying in a bed of some sort. It softness sapped me of my strength. So for now, I listened to the voices.
"I must say, Twilight. You certainly picked up quite a handsome stallion."
"I uh really like his mane."
"Now that he's here, when do we throw the party?"
"If you said he's fast, why is he a dumb ole earth pony and not a Pegasus?"
"There's nothing wrong with bein' an earth pony, it seems to fit him just right."
"Girls, could you try to be quiet? The transfer took a lot out of him, he needs his rest."
Then everything came together, hitting me like a freight train. TwilightStallionManePartyEarthPonyPegasusTransferEarthLightDarknessAKissMidnightSonataWarTwilightLibraryBar.
My Little Pony
My eyes shot open. I was in a library. Not just any Library, Twilight's Tree Library. I was in a bed, probably Twilight's bed, and I could feel the six pairs of eyes glaring me down.
"Um, Twi? I think your friend might be awake."
"Toby," I felt something touch my shoulder. "Stay calm, you're amongst friends. You're in Ponyville. Just stay calm please. This might take some time getting used to."
I sat up in the bed, facing the voices. There they all were. Twilight, Apple Jack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash. Ponies. All in front of me. Giving me a worried look. I went to rub my face to see if I was dreaming. What came up to my face was not my hand, but a hoof. In shock, I brought up my other hand, but again, another hoof. Both were of a grayish-brown color and both began to shaken violently. I tossed off the blankets covering me. Lo behold, two legs with hooves on the end replaced my feet. I moved them suspiciously, like they weren't mine. They can't be mine, last time I checked my legs were broken and didn't function properly. Wait... is that a... a tail? A short blonde tail with brown highlights. I eyed with caution as it moved. Moved the way told it to. Okay, I took a deep breath, it's attached. Alright, um, what?
I jumped off the bed, just in uncertainty of what is going on. My legs failed and I crashed to the ground. My heartbeat quickened, my breath short and fast. I stumbled and tried to get up. I looked everywhere, gathering all the information I could. LibraryPoniesI'mAPonyPonyvilleEquestria.
"Oh...my," is all I mind to formulate and produce from my mouth. Somehow I was able to get on my feet, or hooves. The group eyed me with caution and worry.
"Toby," A familiar voice spoke. Twilight. The girl, now pony, who I've shared the most recent months with, stepped forward from the group. "I know this all seems so strange and distant, but please do your best to remain perfectly calm."
"oh my..." A timid voice spoke. Fluttershy if my memory serves me right. "He has a nice cutie mark."
"Hmm," Rarity this time. "It's only fitting, seeing as he was a soldier."
"So, that's what he's good at?" Rainbow questioned. "What his special gift is?"
"Well, maybe if you be quiet for a minute, Sugarcube. You'll find out."
IHaveACutieMark.
I nervously turn my head to where a normal cutie mark would be. Right there, right on my gray-brown rear end. A shield with one sword behind it.
IHaveACutieMark.
IAmAPony.
I looked at my hoof as I brought it up to my face. Then I punched myself in the face, hard by accident. Unaware of my own strength. I took a step back from the heavy blow. Nope, not a dream, not a fantasy. That clearly hurt. and the other ponies look at me, their faces in bewilderment at what I just preformed. Just to make sure, I again hit myself. Yeah, still hurt. Nothing has changed. Ohmyohmymyohmy. The left of my face was numb from the pain. Pain. I rubbed my face then looked at my hoof. There was blood on it. Blood. My blood. Whatever drove me to do this, I decided licked it. Yup. That's definitely blood. My breath became short and fast. This is all real, that's my blood, the pain is real, what else am I missing. Why is it so difficult for me to believe.
"Toby," Twilight spoke. Tears formed in her eyes. "Stop that, there's no need for that. Please. Stop."
I took a deep breath again, as I sat down on the floor. It's all real, all so real. Right here. I'm here. I'm really here.
"Twi?"
She walked closer and sat in front of me. Her violet eyes looked at me, while I could not meet her gaze. "Yes, Toby?"
"One thing, and one thing only."
"Yes, what would that be?"
"Why is the room spinning again?" That was the last thing I got out of my mouth before I fell against her then hit the floor, blackness surrounding again.
The room is spinning again because you hit yourself twice
YAY!!!!! CLIFFHANGERS!!!!!!!
HE KNOCKED HIMSELF OUT?
Oh god I'm twitching on my chair laughing, TOMCL..
That sounds... retarted
Anyways, thanks for all the brohugs (I can't believe I forgot to reply to them all.. I hate myself now )
And... MOOAAAR
So nothing i was reading had updated today. I remembered this particular touching story from a few days back and decided to reread it. I get a few chapters in and see Twilight explaining that she was from Equestria. I nearly lose it and start to wonder how the hell i couldve read over that huge of a plot point. Its the nthat i learned of your edits. So i immediately follow this story and bam update. R u a wizard?
Regardless i love this friggin story. Keep it coming
I would think one punch would be enough to convince me it was real, but no, Toby had to knock himself out. I'll have to admit though, it's kinda funny.
B-B-But that was short!
TOO SHORT! MOAR!!!
288294 I CONCURE! Pretty funny how he knocked himself out. Little weirded out when he tasted his own blood though. LOL
AW YEAH, I'm so awesome I knocked MYSELF OUT
By the way, great story update, I love it.
YesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesOhSweetCelestiaYes! Awesome edition my friend!
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Who doesn't love a cliffhanger?
AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! This is just way too much at once! Its awesome and funny and crazy and new and funny all at the same time! If I take much more of this I think I'll explode from too much excitement, twice!!!!
...And, no, bless YOUR face for making this so fun to read.
I don't normally like cliffhangers, but this certainly is a good spot for one.
So... Because I HAVE to ask... Did he gain any Exp for knocking himself out? XD *Trollface*
I, INDEED DECLARE MORE FROM WHERE THAT CAME FR-no jk.
god dam cliffhangers... you are pretty good at those you know that right?
cant wait
288601 How much Xp do I get from the farmer?
I hope you've seen The Gamers 2 and were referencing that. Otherwise I just made an ass out of myself with a random inside joke.
If you haven't seen The Gamers and The Gamers 2, and enjoy DnD. Watch them they are hilarious.
When in doubt,
knock yourself out.

APPLEBUCKER

288154 no it did not because the same thing is happening to me so its not retarded... i think?
anyway, not another blckout toby. imean come on!
289386
I meant the acronym itself
Nobrony in their right mind would say hes TOMCLing
Oh god, that sentence made me TOMCL
Man you must REALLY love cliffhangers
289403 yeah i know what ya meant and i just realized my spelling was way off
He not only knocked himself out, he did it in front of the mane 6, one of those being his girlfriend.
289195 And I think being a guard would suit him nicely.
Hmmm, this is a personal opinion, but I feel it needs to be said.
I think you should have kept the original story as it was, and then done this as say, an alternate ending.
Other then that, I hope that you manage to keep up the emotional roller coaster of writing you do.
Maybe its spinning because of a concussion you gave yourself? HUR DUR DUR.
xD Derp! Good shot, lad! Ya managed to give yerself a good beatin' without even meanin' to!
Great chapter! Keep it comin!
(Sarcastic Scottich accent GO!) I don't think pummelin' yerself was the smartest move, laddy.
OMG, I really didn't expect this story to turn out this good. I love you Shisno, you dont take forever and half a day to post a new chapter, which is making me enjoy this story even more :)
puking rainbows over here
Hmm well lets check the list.
Toby in Equestria: Check
Toby panicing: Check
Toby knocking himself out and giving himself possible concusion: Check.
