The Future is....Ponies?

by TheDawsonator1

If Luna was a human, she'd make so much profit off that dreamwalking gig. Then again, she's already richer that all the damned nobles combined

So, I was tricked into a surprise party was I? Well, that hasn’t happened before! No seriously, people always plan parties and never invite me and then say I’m cruel when I don’t invite them to my parties. Rude people!

But that doesn’t matter since I got a Pink Pony in my face.

“SURPRISE! Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie and this party was made just for YOU! Were surprised? Were ya?” Pinkie says fast
“Uh…very surprised” I said

So this is Pinkie Pie, the last of Twilight’s “Close” friends, she’s a Pink Earth Pony with three balloons as her cutie mark. She seems really cheerful at this moment, I don’t think a sad face would fit her at all.

But I didn’t know I could get a surprise party from I pony I’ve never met before. Hey, I’m not saying I’m not grateful, it’s just…weird.

“I’m Joel” I introduce myself
“Hi Joel, I’m Pinkie Pie! Wait, you already knew that! So I made this party for you because I’ve never seen you in Ponyville before soyoumustbenewandifyou’renewhereyoumustnothavemanyfriendssoithoughtletsmakehimapartyandyoucanfindlotsandlostsofFRIENDS!” Pinkie said ridiculously fast

Did Pinkie even breathe that whole sentence she was saying really fast? I only just understood that.

“How do you speak that much without breathing?” I ask curiously
“I have no idea. I just do it, I mean the author didn’t even put spaces between my words while I was speaking” Pinkie says

What? What? I….okay what the fuck is she going on about?

“Uh…what?” I said in a confused
“Anyway, enjoy your parrtttyyyyy” Pinkie says as she literally bounces off

I don’t even know what this is even…UUURRRRRRRRRGHH! It’s gonna bug me all night!

“I see you met Pinkie Pie” Twilight says from behind
“You knew about this didn’t you?” I asked
“Yes, I did, but it would ruin the surprise if I told you” Twilight says
“Yeah and what’s the deal with Pinkie? She talked really fast, said something about an “Author” and she bounces off happily like nothing had happened!” I ask
“She’s just being Pinkie Pie, trust me when I say you don’t want to try and figure out how she works, you’ll end blowing up your own brain, I did” Twilight warns me
“Yeah thanks, I’ll keep that one in mind” I say

I thought Twilight always seemed a bit happy, Pinkie freaking smashed her 5000 feet underground with her happiness. And also, why does actually seeing Pinkie smash Twilight in 5000 feet in the ground despite being sadistic, feel like it would totally happen?

Maybe I watched too much crime shows before I got frozen and I was on the last damned season of CSI too! I doubt TV still works since the ponies went all middle ages on us.

That’s something I got to ask Princess Celestia, how didn’t all of our modern technology stay or advanced a bit? Did this “War” the Humans had against magical creatures do something about this?

“Hey Joel!” I hear Dash call to me
“Hi Rainbow, how’s it going?” I greet
“Oh just great” I answer
“That’s cool, so ya like the party?” Dash asks
“Yeah, but it confuses me how a mare that hasn’t even met me just sets up a party for me” I say truthfully
“It’s Pinkie Pie, she’s the party planner of Ponyville and everypony gets a party when they first arrive here. Also, she remembers birthdays, anniversaries, important dates and all that stuff. She’s pretty awesome! But one tip for you, don’t ever break a Pinkie Promise” Dash says
“Pinkie Promise?” I ask
“What may be just a simple promise to you, it’s really a binding contract with Cerberus. Trust me, you don’t want to know what happens if you break one, but if you ever do, run!” Dash warns me
“Doesn’t that seem a BIT overreacting?” I ask
“A little, but Pinkie is a pony that is the most silliest pony around but she always makes everypony happy, when somepony is happy, she’s happy” Dash explains
“Yeah, she’s like a kid stuck in an adult body” I observe
“Maybe, but she’s still the awesome pink pony I know” Dash says
“Yeah, well I’m gonna walk around, okay?” I end the conversation

Dash simply nods at me, I walk around, feeling happy at a party. Don’t get me wrong, but sometimes parties just don’t feel it you know? You know what else I never really liked back in the past? Clubbing.

Before someone gets the wrong idea I am a boring person, I just think that clubbing is more of a hassle than it is fun. Like the long lines, the drinks are fucking expensive…well, not expensive more like expensively overpriced! Then there’s the music at volumes you can’t have a conversation. Oh and then there’s the spiked drinks (No, not the dragon) and the shady types there.

TL:DR, Clubs are overrated and disappointing, which is a shame cause that’s something I always looked forward to when growing up. You know, when you’re a kid and you just can’t wait to grow up but like Simba, we realize that’s sort of a mistake.

Ah, listen to me. Worrying about things when I should be enjoying myself.

So, the night was turning out really well, Pinkie Pie can bake some damned good cupcakes and cakes and any pastry and Applejack can cook Apple Pies, Apple anything really well. It reminds me of a girl I knew that came from a farm, her name was Ellie. Smart girl and looked damned good, may have had a tiny crush on her back in high school but it really wasn’t more than that and besides, farm girls sort of turned me on back then, but we were friends and no more than that really.

At last at around 11PM, I decided it was time for some sleep and went off to bed.

---

I had a dream, the dream was back in the past, as I dreamed of a meteorite coming down and smashing into the Earth, I couldn’t do anything, I was merely a spectator of the happenings of the dream. But it did not help much as I watched the world’s citizens turn into quad-ped magical beings.

Close the meteorite, I saw a stallion with 2 fillies hugging him, a white filly with Pink hair and a Dark blue one.

Before I could investigate this dream further, it started to swirl, and out popped a Midnight Blue Alicorn, with what seemed the Night sky as her mane unless I was very much mistaken. If I remember correctly, her name is Luna.

“Greetings, Joel!” Luna greets
“Hello, you’re Luna aren’t you?” I ask
“That is correct, we art Princess Luna, Princess of the Night” Luna introduces herself formally.

Either this is a dream or Luna is somehow here…

“Er, weird question. But how are you here, I’ve never met you before and yet I dream of you being here?” I ask
“Ah, mine sister hath not told thou much of us has she? That is fine, as one of our powers and special talent of the night, we can enter dreams and observe them. If ponies have nightmares, sometimes we must offer counsel with our subjects and lead them onto the right course. However, thy dream is not much of a nightmare, but of a vision.” Luna explains
“That sounds weird, but this whole future is weird” I say honestly
“Thou speakest truthfully, we still remember our carefree days of our youth very vaguely, but the memory still persists in our mind to this very day. Forgive us, but we really wanted to meet thee after Tia explained that there was a human in this time when we thought thy kind all but extinct” Luna says
“That’s fair enough I suppose, it feels like just a sleep ago I was with humans and the next thing you know, it’s full of magical sorts. But you and Celestia went through a painful transition as I hear of it” I say

Note to self: I really gotta find out more about what happened in the past.

“Indeed, at first it was of unity with our turned kind along with the humans that were immune to the meteor. But jealousy and anger came, it consumed thy race long ago. In the end, many were slaughtered, magical creatures and most verily, the humans.” Luna explains more
“So, this dream I was having, that was a vision of what happened when the meteor landed?” I asked
“Correct, thy dream is merely a vision of the past. Dreams can sometimes do this, but even visions to the most learned of us cannot be used intentionally. Thou must be careful with vision dreams Joel, for if thou is too reliant or acts too much upon dreams, one cannot determine dreams from reality” Luna warns me
“So this dream here, is a vision of the past, I assume this happens with the future as well?” I ask
“Yes, it does happen, not as often as past dreams, as dreams are often visualizations of past experiences and imaginations or even what the past could show what the future may be. This dream is a vision of the day destiny changed. The two fillies are actually mine sister and us, along with our father.” Luna said to me
“What was it like? Turning into one?” I ask
“We do not remember, we know it scared us, but we have been so used to being a pony that much memories of human days are seldom remembered” Luna attempted to recall memories
“I never knew Celestia started with Pink hair, did she dye it or something?” I joked
“Actually, that was the magic that did this mane effect” Luna inputted

Luna seems nice to me, a little old-fashioned language but she’s alright.

“Princess Luna? May I ask a question?” I ask
“Is it about Nightmare Moon? We’re afraid we really were that entity” Luna admitted
“That was the next question, my actual question is that we had so much technology, I don’t think it would have been hard to reverse engineer it into something more pony-friendly, so why is it we look like the middle ages?” I ask
“A simple answer Joel, the magic interferes with the electricity generated by fossil fuels and such. The whole thing goes haywire, humans learned to adapt this but we never found their ways for they must have been destroyed and not to mention the magic created a new layer of Earth above the existing towns and such.” Luna answers
“And we all just embrace the magical meteor as some sort of god for our new daily lives’ I laughed
“Joel, it was that or end up perishing trying preserve the ways of the past. It took many years for peace to be held truly after that.” Luna says

The dream starts swirling again as the three ponies had disappeared from sight.

“It is almost time for us to depart, before we leave, we have but one final question for thee. Do you hate us magical kinds?” Luna asks

What?

“What?” I repeat
“Our races have extinguished immune humans and here you are as one of them, surely some anger may be held naturally, is there such feelings?” Luna asks
“I dunno, I care more for myself and what I must do now. I suppose the way to past has shaped, it may be natural for myself to hate you guys but you ponies have showed naught but kindness and friendship since I woke up in that ugly capsule. Hating ponies doesn’t make any logical sense. If a human from all that war were to come, then he or she may but not me.” I explain my feelings
“Very well, fare thee well Joel, we hope we can meet thee in person formally” Luna says as she disappears

Luna was growing smaller and smaller until she disappeared and the whole place seemed to just fall apart…

---

I jump up from my bed with a start and I went over that crazy dream I had, was all this real? Or was I getting a killer imagination from the party?

The Past and the Future seem to have some unanswered questions for me to find it seems…

Author's Note:

Have you ever noticed no HIE story ever wonders why a party is thrown for a complete stranger by a complete stranger? They just accept it and be like "Who cares? I get a party!"

Also, Like the title suggest, Luna could easily be a dick with the dreams she see everyday and cause some good chaos to make Discord pleased.
