A Special Opportunity

In The Castle

I was just at a loss for words as I looked around my surroundings in awe, I was in Starlight Glimmer's bedroom. How the hell was this even possible? maybe all of this is just some sort of lucid dream, even though I've never learnt how to do it. Despite that, I tried pinching myself multiple times all over my body, but after a couple of quick pinches, I had confirmed that this wasn't a dream of sorts. I quietly squealed to myself. I had ended up in Equestria, one of my most favorite fictional places of all time, I've always imagined myself going to Ponyville and meeting the mane six, but now, I was actually, physically there in real life, and my body couldn't contain any more excitement.

"Okay Lukas, you just got to calm down. Even though I'm literally in the one place where every brony dreams of being in, you just got to put things in perspective." I said quietly to myself.

Then, a realization popped into my mind, if I was in Starlight's room, then I might me in Twilight's castle. I know most of the bronies miss the Golden Oak Library, but personally, I like the design and interior structure of it. I decided that since I'm here, I might as well explore this castle, that is if nobody else is here, otherwise I would scare the living daylights out of them, I wanted to make a good first impression after all. So with that plan, I hopped out of bed, walked over to the door and opened it, causing the sound to echo around the long hallways. With a big heavy sigh, I stepped out.

I looked around the castle in pure disbelief, I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had actually been transported to Equestria, but that's besides the matter right now. I then noticed something strange, it was awfully quiet, was I the only one in this castle? I then had the idea to explore one of the rooms, so I chose the closest set of doors and took a peek inside, and I saw six big thrones and one small throne surrounding a big table. It appeared that I was in the throne room of the castle. So I walked in.

"Woah, this looks so much better in person." I said to myself as I sat on Twilight's throne. "Oh, I'm Twilight Sparkle and I'm the princess of friendship and I like books and science and friendship. Wow, that sounds exactly like her." I then sat on Rainbow Dash's throne. "What's up, my name is Rainbow Dash, I like to fly and I am so awesome." Next, I went to Rarity's throne, but before I could imitate her, I heard a door open in the castle and some voices talking to each other.

"And so I put the creature in my room and it's been there ever since." I heard Starlight's voice say.

"Wow, this creature sounds pretty interesting, maybe I could study it." Said Twilight.

I got off the throne and peeked out the door, and less than 10 feet away from me, I saw seven ponies. The mane six, along with Starlight, had arrived at the castle and they were too busy talking to each other to notice me. I started to panic inside, what were they going to do when they see me in the castle, I'd probably get sent to Tartarus or something, I had to think of a place to hide, and fast. As soon as they rounded the corner, I bolted out of the throne room as fast as I could. I quickly came to a halt, looking desperately around for a place to hide, but then, I saw a figure from the corner of my eye. Turning around, I found myself face to face with a certain pink maned earth pony, Pinkie Pie. Her pupils had shrunk and her entire body was quaking, I put a finger up to my lips, telling her to keep quiet, but it was too late.

"AAAAAAHHHH! HE'S RIGHT HERE!!" She screamed out.

I knew I was busted now.
As soon as Pinkie stopped yelling, I ran in the opposite direction. I don't know why I tried to outrun these ponies, they were much faster than me, especially Rainbow Dash. I could hear hooves galloping behind me, looking back, I saw that the mane six, including Starlight, were now chasing after me, never in my life would I ever think that I'd be getting chased by my favorite pastel-colored ponies. I saw the exit of the castle getting closer and closer and I thought I was free, but then, I felt a strong force tackle me to the ground. Looking up, I saw that Rainbow Dash was now standing on top of me with a rather angry expression, growling and clenching her teeth.

"Rainbow Dash, don't hurt it!" Fluttershy cried out.

"But Fluttershy, he could be a dangerous creature." Rainbow shouted, turning towards the butterscotch pegasus.

"Just becuase he came from the Everfree Forest, doesn't make it dangerous."

"Alright fine." Rainbow groaned as she got off me, but not before shoving her face into mine. "But if you EVER try any funny tricks with me, I will not hesitate to buck you into the next week."

"Noted." I replied to the multicolored mane pegasus.

I couldn't believe that Fluttershy actually defended me. I mean, I know that she's the element of kindness after all, but she's never seen a species like me before, and she treated me like I was just like one of them.

"Honestly, Rainbow. There's no need to proceed in such a violent threat." Rarity scolded.

"Well, can you blame me? He's like some kind of alien like creature." Rainbow replied while crossing her hooves.

"That's rude, I'm right here." I said, taken back a bit by her rude attitude.

"Anyways." Twilight interjected. "I believe that introductions are in order. My name is Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Starlight."

"What is your name?" Asked Fluttershy.

"Oh, my name is Lukas Hart, but you can call me Lukas if you like." I replied to her.

"That's a strange name for a monkey." Pinkie pointed out.

"Well, that's because I'm not a monkey."

"Then what are you?" Starlight questioned.

"I am, what we call, a human." I explained, looking over, I saw that Twilight was writing down notes in a notebook."

"So, how did you end up here?" She asked me.

"Well." I paused for a moment, I had no clue how I got here. The last thing I remember was watching MLP, and then everything went black. But I decided not to tell them that their entire existence is based around a children's cartoon, at least, not at the moment, so I had to make up an excuse. "Uh.. I don't really remember." I groaned out, rubbing my head to make my lie more believable.

"Oh, that's a shame." Fluttershy said with concern.

"I think he must've lost his memory." Applejack suggested to Twilight.

"That's a possible theory, Applejack." Twilight whispered, then turning towards me. "So, I assume that you are wanting to go back home now?"

As soon as my ears heard those words, my heart sank to the bottom of my chest. I didn't want to leave Equestria, I have always dreamed about going here, and now I might be going back, possibly never returning here ever again. I looked around for a brief moment, not saying a single word.

Just do it, Lukas, just say no. It's not that hard, just one little word. Equestria has always been your dream land and now you are actually here in person, don't waste this perfect chance to meet everyone in the show, you can say it, come on, come on....

"Yes!" I blurted out.

Aw crap

"Well, it might take a while for me to research your species to make a portal back to your world." Twilight explained.

"How long are we talking about?" I asked nervously.

"About 2 days." She replied.

2 days? that's not that bad.

"That gives me enough time to throw you a Welcome To Ponyville party!" Pinkie cheered out, pulling out her party cannon and blasted it as confetti flew everywhere.

"Now hang on Pinkie, I have to study him first." Twilight said.

"Aw." Pinkie moaned as her mane deflated slightly.

"So it's settled then." Twilight declared, then turned to everyone else. "You all better go home, I need to concentrate."

"Of course, sugarcube. Come on, ya'll." Applejack said as she and everyone else left. Leaving me, Starlight, Twilight and possibly Spike inside the castle.

"Okay, Twilight. How can I help?" Starlight asked the purple unicorn.

"Well." Twilight then pondered for a quick moment before answering. "Go get me "The History Of Equestrian Creatures: Volume 1"

"Got it."

And just like that, she was off.

"Come on, Lukas. We got a lot of studying to do." Twilight declared while practically dragging me towards the library. Man, this day has gone crazy so far already.

"Alright fine." Rainbow groaned as she got off me, but not before shoving her face into mine. "But if you EVER try any funny tricks with me, I will not hesitate to buck you into the next week."

What's is with people making Rainbow Dash hostile towards the human in these HIE fics. She's may be suspicious, but she is hardly hostile out of the blue without them doing something to warrant it. Please don't rely on these annoying contrived clichés.
