Only Human
Ch. 2: Greetings
"Ugh..."
Isaac moaned as his brain registered the blurry images his eyes were monitoring. Only seeing a yellow and pinkish color in front of him, he registered the yellow as Talia's blonde hair, and her unnecessary balloons.
"Talia? Thank god Talia, I had the strangest dream, there were ponies, and glowing bushes, and-"
His eyes shot open. His brain recognized all his life and past memories. He wasn't at Talia's house. he isn't talking to Talia. Neither is he married to her.
"What the hell?!" Was the only thing necessary to the situation, as Isaac pushed himself to the end of the room, where six pairs of eyes were watching, one which had a certain gleam. Of happiness. Of course it was on the pink one.
"Uh... Hi." The lavender unicorn with a deep violet color in her hair, consisting of a pink stripe in both her mane and tail greeted. The rest consisted of a yellow pegasus with a pink mane and an incredibly shy nature, as she was consistently shaking and hiding behind a blue pegasus with a mane and tail consisting of all the colors of the spectrum. Next to her was a white unicorn with a purple, curly styled mane and tail. She had a solid cobalt eye color, one that stands out from the rest of her. Beside her was an orange... horse? No. Smaller. Pony with a ponytail on her mane and tail, and Isaac took note at the unintentional pun. Her mane and tail were a thick yellow, and she wore a cowboy hat. In front of her was a pink pony with a frazzled mane, an unnatural beam spread across her face. It took Isaac a second to examine her due to her constant bouncing.
"Where am I? Who are you? Why can you talk? Why is it so colorful? Why was I inside a box?" Isaac let his mouth move on it's own as his brain constantly registered the different ponies and hints about what nature they might be like, what they might do, if they would do something over the other. It was a bit of a sixth sense for Isaac, where his mind started ringing bells at a person and evaluating every detail he can forge with what little information he has. It impressed everyone he knew, really. He could know what kind of eggs a person might prefer over the other just from bodily movements. He could also tell what they do as a hobby or job depending on different markings or patterns. If they repeatedly tap their fingers in a pattern at their waist, they are probably a piano player.
Isaac wishes to be a detective when he grows up.
"Slow down. We're here to help." The violet unicorn said again.
"Help? From what I understand, one of you kidnapped me!" Isaac retorted.
"Chill, dude." Said a voice from above him.
Isaac looked up to notice he hadn't backed into a wall, but a turntable. A white unicorn with blue and lighter blue streaked mane and purple goggles looked down at him. Isaac stood up and slowly moved away, careful not to do any harm to his stiff calves.
"I want some answers. Right now." Isaac pointed to the white unicorn, and then towards the group.
"Okay." The purple one sighed. Her horn started glowing an unworldly purple and a chair surrounded in the same aura floated in from the door frame. It rested in the middle of the floor, where Isaac stared at it, and back at the unicorn.
"Sit." She said, gesturing towards the chair in the center of the room. Isaac, after hesitating for a few seconds, trudged to the chair and promptly leaned against the back. He attempted to stretch, but stopped after feeling a slight pain in his back. The yellow pegasus, who appeared to be the most observant of all, gasped and rushed to his side, where Isaac slightly slid away.
"Is there something wrong with your back?" She asked in a tender voice, yet not as quiet and out of range such as when Isaac was stuck in the box. Isaac took a look in her eyes for a second and agreed with his instinct that he couldn't deny such a wonderful offer from such a nice pony. He sighed.
"It's just a pulled muscle, I think." Isaac responded, and the yellow pegasus rushed towards the kitchen.
"Alright. Now any sorta' question ya wanna ask, we can answer." The southern accent found it's owner to be the orange pony with a hat.
"First, where am I?" Isaac asked.
"You're in Equestria. Where we ponies live in harmony. It's ruled over by the two Princesses, Celestia and Luna." Fluttershy trotted back into the room with something of a leather pad hanging out of her mouth. She said what Isaac presumed was "lean forward" and he followed, wincing in slight pain of the unforgiving back muscle. She felt where it was and told him to lean back. Doing so, she quickly dropped the pad so it was pressed against his muscle and the chair. The soothing warmth of the pad enlightened his back, and he felt a small chunk of his worries slowly melt away.
"I know, how about we trade questions. Where are you from?" The purple unicorn asked.
"I'm from Earth, a place run by us humans. Except for the fact that we don't really have Princesses or Queens anymore except in England. I think. But there are multiple places run by humans, and the leader of where I live is called the president. It's a bit harder to explain, but basically, the humans run the whole planet we live in." Isaac explained, stopping for every few seconds to notice of they were following with his explanation.
"There are more of them?" The white unicorn asked.
"Yeah. It's actually surprising to me that you all speak the same language as me. There are tons of languages on Earth."
"What languages?"
"No. Trade questions, remember? Now, what are all of your names?" Isaac asked, pointing to all of the ponies in his line of sight.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle."
"The name's Dash. Rainbow Dash."
"My name is Fluttershy."
"You can call me Rarity, darling."
"Mah name's Applejack."
"And I'm Pinkie Pie! Your new best friend!"
Isaac didn't hear the last part, as his breath shattered and he fell out of his chair laughing. Despite the pain in his back, it was worth it.
"What? What's so funny?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"Is there something in my mane?" Rarity asked, as a look of panic flashed her face.
"No! It's your names!" Isaac responded between laughs.
"What's wrong with them?" Rainbow Dash asked, looking a bit mad, in which Isaac held up his hands as if he was innocent. As soon as his laughs were reduced to little snorts here and there.
"It's just that on Earth, we have names like John, Mary, Cody, and everything like that. But not Twilight Sparkle or Rainbow Dash!"
"HEY!"
The laughs were over as soon as Isaac was on the ground with a mean blue pegasus staring him in the face.
"Don't make fun of my friends or me, got it?"
"I got it, I didn't mean it as an offense." Isaac made a mental note note not to piss off Rainbow Dash anymore. She slowly hovered off of him and flew back with the small crowd, keeping a close eye on him.
"Alright, next question. What's your name?" Twilight asked.
"Just call me Isaac. Technically, I was named after a famous human who's name was Isaac Newton. Or maybe my parents went into the future to this day and named me after the hurricane in Florida." Isaac shrugged, thinking it was a funny idea.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Isaac." Twilight said with a cheerful little smile.
"Well, can you still tell me why you kidnapped me?" Isaac asked, scratching the back of his head.
"Hey, am I gonna play any music or what?" The white pony at the turntable called.
"No, that will be fine." Twilight responded, turning the pony into a grumbling mess who was packing up her stuff.
"Okay, well, ever since she was a filly, Pinkie here has been wishing she had a human."
"As like what, a pet?" Isaac asked.
"Not exactly. Every Hearth's Warming Eve, Pinkie always wished for a human to, well, be best friends with. And recently, her sisters died of a nasty disease, and she was sulking. So, I used a spell that grabbed a being from another dimension and took them here..."
"Wait, wait, wait. You kidnapped me because your friend's sisters died and wants me to be her best friend?"
"...Yes."
"What?! I live in that universe! I have friends and families there! Imagine how sick with worry they must be because I'm gone!"
---
Greg looked next to his desk, ignoring the boring teacher. The empty desk looked disturbingly familiar, especially the pencil markings on the underside.
"Coulda' sworn someone I knew sat there... Oh well." Greg continued to draw on his arm with a marker.
---
"I want you to put me back in my universe this instant!" Isaac yelled.
"Chill, dude." Said the white unicorn walking out of the building, which Isaac now noticed to be a library.
"No! Don't leave!" Pinkie begged, who was now hugging his legs. Isaac looked down at her, then back up at the group, where Applejack and Rarity slowly nodded their heads.
"...Fine."
"Yay! We're gonna have so much fun! Come on! I'll show you where Sugarcube Corner is!"
Isaac didn't argue as the pink pony dragged him out of the library and into the open air.

Also, there will be some slight references in this story. If you find any... Well, I'll do something about it dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/shrug_Derpy_Hooves.png . Toodles.
I don't know what to say about this or Greg. LOL
to fast. it all went to fast. and I though they would't know that he could speak.
And here, ladies and gents, is where the ancestor of Isaac Clark learns to dismember his foes.
I find it funny that i just finished playing the binding of isaac
So when does Lyra show up and demand some humans for herself?
"Hey, am I gonna play any music or what?" The white pony at the turntable called.
"No, that will be fine." Twilight responded, turning the pony into a grumbling mess who was packing up her stuff.
Yanno, you could have Vinyl play some Phoenix Wright cross-examination music. Totally fitting :)
looking forward to future chapters, minor errors that peck at my sanity, but you are good at making a story ^^b
1161904 5/5 moustaches for you.
I'm enjoying this, but you really need proofreaders. For one thing, they'll help point out when you're going too fast, which this is, and help you flesh things out. For another, you've committed several no-no's of writing. Here are some that really bugged me, and stuck out.
Isaac made a mental note to not piss off Rainbow Dash anymore.
No. Just no. The only time narration should be interrupted by anything is during a fourth wall collapse. Mental narration and other people talking can be interrupted to give the feeling that the interjection is either loud or sudden, but not a basic description of a character.
Firstly, you suddenly changed tenses. Secondly, this is a really sudden narrator interjection, you can probably find a way to work that into Isaac's thought process.
That said, I'm still going to give you a thumbs up and a fav, because this story has oodles of potential, you just need to polish out the rough corners.

That is a total of 7
Guy gets kidnapped, wants to go back, then begrudgingly seems fine with everything at the end...

hmm, shenenigans w/ pinkie pie? i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/295/561/d99
1162071
I'm planning on getting editor(s)/proofreader(s).
interesting and things like what greg went through that "i coulda sworn someone sat there" moment makes me wonder sometimes, do i have friends i held dearly to me but cant remember them anymore? :/ meh anywho this has potential i shall keep tabs on it and what of his parents!? surely his mom couldnt forget something like birthing her son! o.0
Did you pick the name Isaac because of this?
http://www.behindthename.com/name/isaac
...So this guy DOESN'T know about them already? Why the hell is he so fine with being kidnapped? And why are the mane six out of character? They didn't seem surprised that he could talk, so they knowingly took a sentient creature far, far from it's home, to give them as a gift? OOC.
1162125 I'll be your editor!
loloolol I love the interlude where his friend didn't know that he was gone. XD It made me crack up
btw I'm loving this story so far. Keep writing please
1162588
Bam. You're my editor.
Vinyl's contribution was beyond necessary.
1162631 Sweeeet. I'll PM you my email.
1161809 Nothing. I think that with this "kidnapping" and entering diffrent universe every trace of Isaac from Earth was cleaned up. This is like he never was born.
1162092 I think we can wait a little. You now he is mostly in shock now even if he looks calm etc.... he is gonna blow in some time i think ;d
Get kidnapped and put in a box?
1) Use every bit of strength to get out
2) Sit and analyse situation
dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_rainbowderp_flip.png I see you picked 2.
Damn it, man! You, of all people, had to trap me into another one of these fanfics? Not that I'm complaining...
Congratulations! 
[/sarcasm] But at any rate, nice job. Good read.
This is rather unusual, and i like it!
If I was in Isaac shoes I will probably run for my life, kidnapped and used like a gift, yessire' i'm ok wit that
And.. The spell have litterally wiped Isaac's existance from his universe? this will be a problem.
The only real problem here is the dialogue. This isn't how someone should react to being kidnapped by magical ponies. Not at all.
Why U No Reference Deadspace
like seriously Isaac is pure badassery reincarnate 
I am slightly disappointed in you young padawon... sorry if its spelt incorrectly Im not a big star wars fan 
DEAD SPACE REFERENCE! Shut down everything! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, I put once in my fic not to long ago and it was due to me beating dead space while writing it and this just makes me want to read your fic even more!
i wonder if that whole Greg scene is just Greg being Greg or if the comment speculation is right about the "wiped out spell"
also its a little fast and the characters seemed a little off but that could be due to the circumstances
finally even with Pinkie's depression i would think at least Fluttershy would be against ripping a human from his world or Applejack against pulling a human from his family (AJ always came across as a big family gal...go figure) and it wouldn't hurt having a chapter devoted to Twilight convincing the girls this is a good idea you could also explain the knowledge of humans in said chapter
Out with the bad in with the good
liked this story and the idea behind it so i'm thumb and star wait to see how it goes best of luck
1166204
Probably because I didn't PLAY or WATCH Dead Space...
1166801
That "out with the bad in with the good" reminds me of a joke.
What do you never say in a Retirement Home?
Out with the old, in with the new.
Yes, I did listen to everything you said and I completely respect your opinions and decisions.
Im reading this and I read "maybe my parents went into the future to this day and named me after the hurricane in Florida." and im like lol what I dont have school because of that hurrican
1167840
thats not a satisfactory answer 
Nope,
1168506
Or probably because I have no idea what Dead Space is...
1168128
Oh yay. You live in Florida too.
1169367
Yeah floridian brony's for the win /)

I would expect more... trauma
But still, pretty funny synopsis.

tell us your opinions
Further ideas
"So, what happened to Talia? Is she you, or what?" asked Isaac
"Who? Oh! Talia! My human form. She, or I, or she, teehee, it's confusing, will be back after a bit, when I have to break the fourth wall again" giggled Pinkie
1196398
Uh... I'll try to add that in there, but it won't be straightforward. Maybe a small reference to Talia here and there.
1198436
Sorry not good with this kind of thing, I really hate my bad writing skilld
...This guy seems... ridiculously submissive.
I know I'd be incredibly pissed and extremely unwilling to cooperate if I were kidnapped, shoved in a box, and presented as a gift to someone.
But hey like 1162092 said. Seems legit.
1237154
NO
I'M TIRED
JUST
LEAVE ME ALONE
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
Any news on an update?
1276682
Still in the works...

Cool
