My Week In Equestria

Chapter 1: A Bad Day Goes Well

Sadly, my story begins as most do. In a dark alleyway, bleeding out; Earlier that day I pissed off my number 1 enemy, Shayne Peirce, along with his group of "Terminators," as they called themselves. Well, they started chasing me after my natural middle school day ended. This time they chased me till I had no choice but to run off campus and into an alleyway. I was beaten till near death.

This is where I am now, broken, beaten, and scarred, but even time is against me right now because it slows for pain in my body to gain onto me faster. My legs, right arm, and a bunch of other bones, are broken and I can only try and crawl further into the alley. Then, when I think it's over, Shayne pulls out a 0.375 Magnum Revolver, and aims straight at my head. Then, there was a blinding light, the sound of gunfire, and then I was falling from the sky, losing consciousness. I don't know how high up I was, 20,000, and 30,000, 40,000 feet maybe? About seven minutes after free fall, I lost conscious of my self but could see what was happening, and all I saw was my own blood coming out of a good-sized bullet wound. Shayne's gun must've hit me before that blinding light did, everything else I saw was either a blur, or covered by my blood. Then, I hit the ground. After a few hours, I regained consciousness, and opened my eyes. I believe completely that I was hallucinating. Because I saw the Pony named Nurse Redheart standing over, confused but tightening a bandage that covered my bullet wound. I managed out of my mouth weakly "What... the hell... h-happened... to me-" then I fell into unconsciousness again.

The next day, I opened my eyes hoping that everything I saw recently was a fake, as my life usually goes, I was wrong. I was greeted by 6 hearty "Howdy/Hi/ Hiya/Hello/Um...hi/ this thing sure can sleep a lot" quotes. I looked around at the 6 Ponies standing around the bed I was laying in. They were all close to the bed, almost lying on top of me. I recognized them because I watch the they are included in on Earth, because I know that this isn't Earth, which is My little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Finally, I said "How did I get here?" I received a quick answer from Twilight. "We don't know how you got here, or even who you are. So, who are you, where did you come from, and why can you talk like us?" She spoke to me like I was some sort of demon. I looked down at my scars and broken bones, then I finally said "I am David Riviara (Riv-ee-air-uh), I come from Earth, of the year 2012, with a vocal box in my throat just like you. And please don't treat me like a demon; I've already had a day of full hell, my own blood, and hatred against me. I beg of you Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash... Do not treat me as an outcast. I've had one thing go through my body, I don't want my heart to fall into nothingness because my favorite ponies treat like an outcast, or a shadow, or an obstacle in your way." They all said at once "How do you know who we are?"

After a few minutes of me explaining to them that on Earth there's a show with them in it as the Main Characters, Twilight said "Well, that's fascinating to hear about your world, and I promise you we won't treat you like an outcast. Do you need us to get you somewhere?" I slowly looked down when she asked me that, because I had realized that I no longer have a home. "Can I stay with one of you, because I technically have no home...” I said slowly and sadly. Twilight said "You can stay at my Library until you find a home I guess." Pinkie immediately said "SLEEPOVER AT TWILIGHT'S! YIPPEE!"I tried standing, but I merely fell over sleepily. Twilight and the others asked me if I was okay and needed help, but I told them that I would be fine. We eventually arrived at Twilight's Library; I fell at least twenty times on the way there. I told Twilight "I need to do some research for a bit okay, I need to find out about something. You go ahead and have your sleepover, you won't even notice me." Twilight said, "You can stand on your own, for at least as long as you say. We'll stay out of your way." When they turned the lights out to tell scary stories is when they noticed me. I forgot to tell them that when I'm in darkness, or at least full darkness, I hallucinate the scary things people say. Such as demon, ghouls, ghosts, and even I can hurt myself because I am hallucinating these things. I fought my own sanity to keep it from dropping, but it made them become a bit freaked out with me there. I was sitting in a chair when Twilight walked over to me and said, "Are you okay?" Honestly, I she jump-scared me so much that I knocked over 28 books and fell downstairs into their sleepover party. "Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" I said continuously as I fell down the stairs. I looked around when I landed and saw red. Twilight trotted over to me, but she looked like a demon sent to kill me. I crawled into a corner and started muttering something. It sounded something like this "No, not them. Not the Grunts and Brutes. I hear the guitar, but I don't want to die. No, NO!" then I stood and ran to another corner, but I collapsed when I got there. Twilight turned on the lights, but I was still freaking out. My Sanity lowered a few minutes later and I realized I had scars on my chest, face, legs, arms, and neck. They all got fearful of what I was doing, and why. I saw that they were confused and freaking out, so I did what I do when I panic, I ran. Twilight and the others started running after me, I think I heard Luna with them. I didn’t care; I was too scared that they wouldn’t be my friends after seeing that. I usually expect that since I’m basically an Outcast on Earth. Then I realized that I had my two-handed sword and both my dueling swords. I also realized that I had my black feather duster on, along with my black shoes, and black tux pants. None of this stopped me to think twice, I ran to the Everfree Forest and then to the tallest mountain. I kept my distance from Ponyville, Canterlot, and other pony cities. Sadly, I never stopped until I got into a cave; I never thought to find out why they were running after me. I pulled out each of my swords, knives, and my pistols that I forgot I even had until they fell out of the holsters. I walked out of the cave, it was just breaching dawn, and I stood on the cliff, like a silhouette in the shadows of New York or Los Angeles. I don’t know if I could be seen, then Celestia and a few Pegasus Guards, along with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight teleporting, Pinkie ‘breaking’ physics, and Luna (standing in complete darkness though). And I just stood there, until Celestia said, “Sir David Riviara, we need to speak with you.” I gave the general response I usually give. “Okay, I’m ready. Take me in to another prison cell for no reason. Just let me grab my supplies. I’m an Outcast so I’m used to this. Being treated like shit or a shadow from hell or even a recluse/ dweller/ unwanted bastard isn’t new. “ I said with no intent of sarcasm and laughter. I went in the cave, grabbed my Swords, Knives, and Pistols. I holstered all of them, went back to where I was at first. Celestia and the others laughed at my words while I got my tools. I sang an old song to myself by The Who, which is the song “Behind Blue Eyes.” I finally sang out “No one knows what it’s like to be hated, to be faded. To telling only lies, but my dreams; they aren’t as empty, as my conscience seems to be.” I didn’t expect this myself; I fell backwards, off the cliff. Rainbow Dash chased after me, but I was merely too fast, until she did her Sonic Rainboom. Then she ‘grabbed me with her teeth’ I guess is how I’ll put it. Then Twilight teleported us back up there and I tried to jump back off the cliff back Celestia kept me floating in the air as they talked to me. “LET ME GO! YOU’RE JUST GOING TO PUT ME IN A CELL JUST LIKE EVERYONE DOES! LET ME GO! I KNOW YOU HATE ME! I’D RATHER DIE THAN GO INTO ANOTHER CELL!” I screamed out, my voice cracking every once in a while. “What makes you think that we hate you? Or even put you in a cell?” Celestia said. “I know how my life goes and will always go.” I said beginning to cry. “I get found looking like a person that will hurt someone, or even kill, and get arrested for walking around. Then I’m in jail, prison, or an insane asylum. I don’t deserve that!” I yelled voice cracking with tears nearly fully streaming out of my eyes, which are bloodshot. My face is red and I looked like a 6 year old that is freaking out full of fear. Celestia dropped me. I just lay there, motionless, but crying. Yes, I was crying because I was truly scared that they would lock me up till I die. Pinkie Pie came over and nudged her head into my back. I sat up, slumping forward. Then Fluttershy and the other 4 Mane 6 laid down around me. Then I stopped crying, and got up. I walked to the cliff, turned around, kneeled down, and prayed to both god and Celestia even though she was in front of me. I prayed this “Dear god and Celestia, I will give my own life to save Equestria and it’s inhabitants. So if I have to, help me make sure this happens.” I remembered something I said earlier in the year, before this happened, “I’d rather die fighting to save many than save myself. No matter where I go, Heaven or Hell, I’ll die to save many than save myself.” Cassie told me “You would doing something good, but also something bad by letting me lose a friend.” I replied, “You know I’ll be around even if I die, well you and Sydney.” I remembered that as if it was yesterday. “We have a lot of time left on our hands, so hell let’s do some thing fun. Rainbow Dash, do not catch me.” I said as I fell off the cliff, for a reason though. I hit the ground, but not as a normal human; I hit the ground kneeling, Two-Handed sword in front of me, blade in ground, hilt in hand. Rainbow and the others arrived behind me about a minute to two minutes later. I might as well have some fun while I’m here. For this week is a mystery. I wish I had my guitar though, or at least my Macintosh HD Prototype 4 from my house.

We got to Twilight’s Tree House and I fell asleep on the way there. Turns out that Applejack carried me there, and somehow I am about the same height as the Ponies, and Celestia and Luna are taller. I think I was laid down on a very large bed because I could feel Twilight and the others, except Celestia and Luna, slide in around me. I made sure I took up very little room. Then, Something happened that even I didn’t expect, Pinkie (being first) and the others kissed me on the forehead. And for the first time, I felt welcome to be somewhere. Somewhere that I can actually call… Home.
