The world is calling.
Just as before, Lisa awoke to an empty room, herself being the only inhabitant. For the first time since she had first awoken, she felt the early grumbles of hunger, and instinctively opened her mouth to call for Spike. Except... there was no answer, and the girl soon remembered that she was alone.
However, she quickly remembered the events that had occurred earlier that day, and to her delight, upon lifting her sheets, found herself no longer tethered to the machine, no longer tied to the unwieldy anchor that was her cot.
There was a small paper bag resting at the end of the cot, a pleasant smell wafting towards Lisa from its opening at the top.
Slowly, the girl crawled across the cot, reaching for the bag with a hand, as if afraid that some sort of monster could leap out at her from it at any second. Looking into the bag, she found what it was that had smelled so good: food.
Granted, Lisa knew that this wasn't the human world that she knew, but nevertheless, she'd recognize a hamburger anywhere.
A few minutes of hungrily devouring the fast food later, the girl once again resumed the habit she had acquired since waking: Leaning back in her cot, and staring out the window.
There was very little in particular to see outside, just the blinding sunlight, and the washed-out scenery of a late autumn's day. There was no grass, no trees to shade the window. Just the drying hedges and bushes lining the concrete and gravel pathway leading from the one-room hut of a building that Lisa had been calling home for the past day or so.
She peered back into the bag, spotting a folded wad of paper. Curiously, she reached inside, grasping the paper and extracting it. Unfolding the slip revealed a small, but detailed map. Glancing out the window again for nearby landmarks, Lisa came to the conclusion that she was residing on the outskirts of a small city.
Eyes wide, she turned her focus to the door. It had been of her intrigue ever since she had first seen it upon waking, and half the time, she had expected Spike, or one of her friends, to burst through it playfully, to remind her that it was all a bad dream, or a prank of Rainbow Dash's of some sort.
But this time, it was her portal to release. The passage into the wider world, to the vast, untapped knowledge that she, Princess Twilight Sparkle, protege of Princess Celestia herself and the downfall of monsters and coffee alike, would surely love to...
...Not exist... Lisa reminded herself, her mood dropping like a brick.
Nevertheless, she made her way to the door, pushing the gloomy thoughts to the back of her mind. There was an entirely different world out there, after all.
A cool breeze blew through the girl's hair as she squinted in the bright midday sunlight. She still wore the medical gown that she'd awoken with, complete with the same identification bracelet strapped tightly around her wrist. But the strangeness of the situation aside, Lisa Garnet, the girl who once called herself Twilight Sparkle, was most definitely awake.
And free.

Lisa Garnet, what happened to your memories?
You seem to remember the feelings of your surroundings, but nothing else.
How long were you in the Equestrian virch-world?
Is the passage of time even 1 to 1, or faster?
Did the experience of memory spells in Equesrtria genuinely modify your physical body's memories?

She does have memories of her past life outside of Equestria, but at this point, she's been within Equestria for so long that she no longer remembers that anything outside of it has ever existed.
She needs a friend.
Can I be her friend?
8604852
idunno.
8604869
Please
8604890
What do you mean by being her friend? I intend on having the story being pretty short, and ending with her returning to the virtualized Equestria.
8604898
Maybe a old friend from her past who she convinces to join her
8604902
The only character that I had planned for her to meet as a human was gonna be Spike.
8604975
Welp I tried
8604991
Sorry. :P
8604992
Whatever. Still a goid story
8605011
Interesting so far...
Why did she choose this? That's what I want to know.
8606332
Choose what?
Usually I joke around about suicide and shit, but if I had just awoken from sort of paradise that turned out to be completely false into a world where I had to rebuild my entire life I would kill myself, if I managed to survive after the shock of not being 'me'. Now the idea of being forced into a different world like going from Earth to Equestria I wouldn't mind as long as my family and friends could come with or I had the ability to go back and forth freely.

That's the thing. It's only a localized network outage that caused the Disconnect, so once it's back up, Twilight could easily return to her old life.
y'know, it's a good thing she's been human before, or this would be really disorienting.
Sooo she's sharing this SIM with others right?
Like Spike is another person logged in as well or is it all just a world made for her? Need to re-read chapter one.
If so and other people do exist, how does the program choose who will be a Princess and who ends up Spike? Something special to be Celestia's chosen...and what made whoever is Celestia so special?
Interesting concept none the less.

The simulation is populated by both NPCs and actual people taking the form of characters. Spike was specifically chosen to be who he is, while Celestia's origins have yet to be revealed...
The question is, what about Sci-Twi? Is she a different person? Perhaps Lisa's twin?
The last bit reminded me of Stanley Parable.
Woo

Well neo did have to go through a recovery process in the beginning when he got out at first.
8605011
Did you mean "good story" or "gold story"?
8606528
At the risk of putting words in Carnelian's mouth, I think they were asking why Lisa plugged herself into a My Little Pony simulator in the first place.
8633817
Except that now she knows it's all fake. Put yourself in Lisa's shoes for a second. Would you be able to just jump right back into your old life if you knew it was all a lie? Even if you could, you have to admit that knowledge would buck you up big time.

Ah. Honestly, I really never knew myself. Main point was that I included MLP in the story so it could be published here on Fimfic.

This.
This right here is exactly the sort of question we should be asking. We need answers!
