When a human is sent to a world unfamiliar to him, what happens

Chris doesn't know how he arrived in his predicament, and nopony knows how to get him back. The future is unknown, and getting attacked by almost everything is not going to well for him. Plus he has no idea where he is, but the worst part is how the multicolored ponies seem to be 100% real.

This is my first time writing a fanfic, also I will probably mess up in how the characters will act. Creative criticism would be beneficial and I would ask you to give some thoughts on this story. Also chapters should be added daily, if I can write them fast enough.

Chapter One v1.1

The sweat that quickly ran down his neck soon evaporated, taking away the heat of his morning jog, cooling his body. He slowed his pace and stopped in front of a white mailbox with the numbers 4815 imprinted to the side. He reached out and pulled the lid down, retrieved the small group of bills and letters, then proceeded to close the metal lid. With the morning mail in hand, he slowly made his way to his front door, taking in deep breaths of the cool, fresh air. As he reached the front step, his sweat covered hands made their way down to his pocket, returning with his iPod. Turning of his music, he took off the bag that was stuck on his back, pulled the zipper along the edge of the bag, and dropped the small device into the opening. His hands the advanced to the bottom of the bag, and keys emanated with them from the bag to the keyhole in the door.

As the door swung open, the man returned the bag to his back and walked into the house. His shoes were kicked off, the mail left on a nearby table, and the bag dropped on the floor. He strolled down a hallway, turned, and pressed the power button on a remote. The screen across the room reacted by showing a blank fuzz. To which the man in turn pushed more buttons, the screen altered its previous fuzz to show a news report on the weather for the weekend, which somehow said that there would be a major storm soon.

"Probably wrong as always.” The man whispered to himself, his voice was deep and a slight amount of annoyance was portrayed in the way he had spoken.

The TV was then turned off, and the man turned back to face the way he had come, and stepped down the hallway, and walked up a set of stairs. Once at the top, he turned and made his way to the end. A closet was opened, a yellow towel taken out, and then the door was closed. Another door was opened, this one leading to a bathroom with a white tile floor and black walls. The towel was hung on a hook, and the clothes on the man taken off.



Hot water poured out of a faucet as the man rotated the shower controls, and the room was quickly filled with steam. And he stepped into the water. The sweat was almost immediately washed away, and shampoo then went on the short, black hair that hung on the man’s head. Afterwards he let the warm water pour over his body, leaving him to his own thoughts.

The water was cut off after some time, and the man reached out for his towel. He was patted dry and then dried his hair as he went to the mirror across from the shower. Wiping away the water that had cooled to the glass, he looked at himself. He had green eyes and a good amount of stubble on his face, due to the fact that he had not shaved in quite some time. His face was clean, lacking freckles or pimple scars.

The towel was then wrapped around his waist, and he walked out of the steamy room into the cooler hallway. He then proceeded to the other end towards a door. When this door was opened, it showed a bedroom, which had a white carpet and windows that seemed to cover the entire wall space. The bed was black, with a painting of a mountain above it.

He walked to the right to a black, wooden dresser. Opening the drawers, he produced a pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt. He dressed quite quickly, and went back down the stairs. At the bottom, he turned to his right, into a room, but as soon as he walked through the doorway, he forgot the reason for coming into the room. He usually never used the room, and he did not feel as if there was any reason to be in there. He was too busy thinking of why he was in the room, to notice that the room was in fact, not part of his house. But before he could have the chance to realize where he was, he passed out.



The man awoke, with the feeling of being hit in the head with a lead pipe, realizing that he was on the floor. He groaned as he went to stand up. The first thing he noticed after he got up was that there were a lot of horse related items in the room he was in. Things like sculptures to paintings. The next thing he realized was that he had no idea how he arrived in the room.

His thoughts were cut off as he heard voices coming from behind a door.

"Hey man, did you see that new coffee shop in town?” one of the voices said.

"Naw man, why, is it good? " the other one replied.

"Nope! But the ladies that go there are. "

Laughs were exchanged and the men continued their conversation as the lost man went for the door. After opening it, he saw that he was in a huge hallway of some sort. This also contained mostly horse based art.

"They must really like their horses.” the man said as he made his way toward the voices. "But this place is huge, must be some sort of cast..." he stopped halfway through his sentence, because he had just seen the source of the voices were not human. In fact, they were horses.

The horses were in a metal suit of Armor. And they too were stopped mid-sentence. The three beings stood still, not letting down their eye contact. The man's jaw dropped, somehow he knew that this was some kind of joke, it had to be. How could a horse talk? But before anything could be done, the first horse yelled.

"GET HIM!"

And they ran towards him, with spears raised, aiming at the man's chest. But before they were able to reach the man, he ran. All the way down the hallway, passing more horses in metal Armor, and as he passed them, they stopped and stared at the creature that somehow was able to run on two legs. And the man soon arrived at double doors, which were pushed opened to reveal a horse city.

"Where am I" he said as a group of pegasi flew around in the sky.

He turned to look back down the way he came, to see a sight that was supposed to only be in stories, a bunch of pony guards were high tailing it to the man, who in turn, ran towards the only cover he was able to find, which was in fact, the Everfree Forest. This being unknown to the man as dangerous, but the only thing he saw was that his attackers stopped at the edge of the woods.



On the other side of the forest, in a hollowed out tree, a purple unicorn was lying in a pile of books. One was surrounded by a purple aura and levitating above her face. The book was just barely touching her face, as she was deeply reading with all outside distractions ignored. She had yet to notice a purple dragon standing in front of her calling her name.

"Twilight" no response "Twilight!” still no response "TWILIGHT!" He yelled.

She slowly lowered the book and looked at the dragon. "Yes?" She replied.

"When are you going to go outside? You have been in here for more than two days. "

"Oh I know Spike, it’s just that this book is quite interesting, it is about a wizard back in the time before Princess Luna's banishment, and he really was a great wizard. He even taught the princesses once."

"That's really interesting, but the princess wants you to be with your friends, and what you’re doing isn't that" he stopped and put his hand up to his mouth and burped. But with the burp came a letter. He paused and picked it up. "It's from the princess.”

A purple aura surrounded the scroll and was then brought over to the unicorn, who read it. Once the letter was read she squealed. "A new animal was found in the castle and the princesses want the elements to be there to help if necessary.” A grin spread across Twilight's face.

"Why are you so happy about that? They could be in danger. "

"Spike, this is a new, never before seen animal we are talking about. I could be the first pony to study it; my notes would be the most important thing about this. I would be able to write books and reports and articles about this. And this also could be a test that Celestia has made for me. "

"Whatever.” he sighed and continued "do you want me to send letters to the rest of the elements about this. “He already knew the answer and that Twilight would want everything written down.

"Yes, and make sure that everything is noted and signed. I want this to be able to be put in any research papers. "

The dragon then walked over to the desk that was across the room, and began to write.

A blue pegasus with rainbow colored mane with matching tail was sleeping on her favorite cloud, when a puff of green smoke appeared above her, but quickly materialized into a scroll. Which fell right next to the sleeping body and lodged its way into the white cloud. The pony too far into slumber to take notice of the new addition to her bed, and continued to dream, not knowing the importance of what was right beside her.

A refrigerator door closed and a pink pony, with hair that looked suspiciously like cotton candy, walked out carrying a few eggs. The eggs were then cracked and emptied into a bowl of flour. The pink pony then reached out and grabbed a bag of sugar, which was crushed under the grip. The pony shoved her eye into the bag, only to find that it was void of the sweet crystals.

"What happened to the sugar! ?" She asked, her voice was high pitched like a child's.

The sudden movement of her lips caused the sugar that used to be attached to her face to fall.

"OH, pinkie pie you are so clumsy. Eating all the sugar." She shared a small giggle with herself as she walked across the room. "I guess that I'll have to open another bag. "

A pantry was opened and sugar taken out. Returning to the mix in the bowl, she dumped some of the sweet sugar in. Then grabbed a wooden spoon and stirred the mixture. But before she could be able to get the contents to any progress, a weird green puff floated in a nearby window, and turned into a letter above the bowl.

"Ops, I wonder what Twilight wants. " she said pulling the paper out of the dough.

After opening the letter, she saw that a small amount of the batter had stuck on the paper, which was immediately licked off.

"Mmmmm" she said licking her lips.

Dear Pinkie Pie

Princess Celestia has informed me about a never before seen animal that is hiding near Canterlot. She would feel safer if all of the elements where there in case anything bad were to occur. Please come to the library as soon as possible to travel to Canterlot.

Your dear friend,
Twilight Sparkle

"A NEW CREATURE! I could be its first friend and then I would go down in history as the best friend ever!" The pink mare exclaimed.

And with that, she galloped upstairs to pack.

A bowl of salad flew out the window of a cottage on the edge of the town. Inside, a small white rabbit was patting the ground and a look of disappointment was spread across its face. The look was for the yellow pegasus in the kitchen, whose head was currently in a refrigerator. Her face appeared, with a bag of lettuce.

The rabbit shook his head and laid its paw on its stomach. The winged pony responded by putting her head back into the fridge. Only to return with a few tomatoes, again the rabbit shook his head, this time his paw was held up to his mouth followed by an imitation of biting. The pony then showed up with an apple, only to find an even more disappointed rabbit.

"Fine, you win. " she said, passing a few carrots to the rabbit, who immediately grabbed them with a smile on his face. "But only a few, you remember what the vet said. "

But before the rabbit heard this, it was already out the door.

As she turned to find something for herself, a puff of green smoke came through the open window. The yellow pony responded with a squeak and hid behind a chair. The smoke stayed in the same spot for a moment, and dissolved, leaving a scroll in its spot. Due to fact that the smoke was no longer powered by magic, it was taken by gravity and fell to the floor.

The hiding pony saw that no harm could be done by the new addition to her house, and picked it up and began to read.

Dear Fluttershy

Princess Celestia has informed me about a never before seen animal...

"A NEW ANIMAL, OH MY GOSH, I wonder how cute it will be. I've never been able to see a unknown animal before. I wonder if it can talk. And what would it have to say. I..." the pegasus fluttered into the next room with the biggest smile on her face as she continued to speak about the new information she had just received.

A loud bang could be heard as a tree shook, causing a group of apples to fall. The apples were caught by a orange pony, who had a stentson hat covering her blonde mane with matching tail. She had been working all day, with the only proof being the sweet, red apples across the farm, and the sweat that was cooling her body.

She looked out at the almost endless rows of apple trees, all of them clear of their delicious fruit. She was tired and ready to take a nice, warm shower. But as she turned to face the house, she noticed that there was a odd tree that still was bearing its fruit.

'I've gotten this far, an ah plan to finish this today. ' she thought to herself. And began to trot over to the last tree.

Once she arrived at the lone survivor of the days work, she spun 180 and kicked the tree, but only a couple of the apples fell.

"Stubborn git" she whispered under her breath. And began to lean forward, letting her body get the full momentum that was needed for the kick. Then slammed her back hooves into the hard bark of the tree. But before her hooves made contact, a small puff of green smoke appeared, and simply turned into a paper note. Unable to stop the now started kick, her hooves slammed on the paper. The shock caused all of the apples on the tree to fall, and after the horse moved her hind legs, the now limp scroll fell to the ground.

She leaned down and picked up the crumpled piece of paper, unfolded it, and began to read. Her eyes widened as she finished the note, and ran into the house.

A sowing machine was heard in the boutique, with a white unicorn running pieces of fabric through it. When it seemed to be finished, a light blue aura surrounded the creation, and the creator examined her product. The cloth was then put back into the machine, and then move sewing was done.

After some time, the fabric was removed, examined, and passed the inspection of the maker. A magic aura pulled the product off of the table showing that it was a beautiful dress. The dress was then put on a manikan to show to the would be customers. The maker stepped back to examine the manikan, and after a few seconds she went back up to it and moved it a little to the right.

Meanwhile a puff of smoke blew into the room by an open window. The smoke wafted over to a desk, hovered for a moment, then materialized into a scroll and fell onto the desk.

The lady turned and went back to her desk to work on another design when she noticed the scroll in her workspace. Which she picked up and began to read.

Okay well, until I get the full version of chapter 2 back, I will continue working on the rest of my story where I left off. Well I hope you enjoy this chapter, bye.

*Twilight's Room

The first rays of the morning sun slowly crept through the room, inching their way up the side of the bed. Inside said bed, was Twilight Sparkle. As the light finally finished the journey, stopping right on her eyes, the response from the pony, was just her pulling the covers over her entire body.

As soon as she remembered the encounter with the princess from the previous night, she quickly jolted awake.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no. I'm going to be late!" She exclaimed while grabbing a comb from the bedside table with her magic.

She ran the comb through her purple mane, evening out all stray hairs. A familiar purple aura surrounded nearby paper and quills, as the comb made its way to her tail. After all hairs were put in place, the comb was dropped, and the purple mare rushed down the hallway.

On the way she passed suits of Armor, guards, sculptures and other forms of art, only to stop at two great oak doors. She then caught her breath, readied herself, and pushed the doors open. Inside was a large table, with a few ponies sitting at it? Many of them had been staying in the castle for diplomatic and other governmental reasons. Then there were the elements of harmony. Finally there were the two princesses. On the outside of the room, up against the walls, were the servants that would occasionally walk to the table when called by those seated?

Twilight quietly made her way to a seat next to the Princess of the Sun, who occupied herself with documents and paperwork. Next to the princess was her sister, the Princess of the Night, who was occupied by a contest with a certain pink pony of seeing who was able to shoot a grape the farthest.

"Good morning Twilight.” Celestia whispered as Twilight sat down. "I am glad to see that you have woken up.”

Twilight looked over to see that there was a small twinkle in her mentor's eye.

"I hope that my sunlight didn't shine too bright."

Twilight gasped. "You did that on purpose? What if that really could mess something up?" She whispered back

"I do it all the time to Luna, whenever she decides to sleep in a little too late.”

She then raised a hoof and the room quickly quieted, even though the only sound before was small chit chat between newly acquainted ponies. Everypony in the room turned their gaze to the solar princess.

"I need a moment of privacy with the elements."

Immediately afterwards, every pony, whether they were servant or government, left the room, leaving the two princesses and the six friends from Ponyvillie.

"As you know, there is a creature in the forest. It is one that we have never seen before. And as you know, I am a sovereign, and I must look out for my ponies." She said, with a look of despair over her face. "And I do not want to have a crazy animal terrorizing or harming my citizens, so I need you to use the elements of harmony to get rid of it before it has the chance to do anything.”

The six mares had looks of confusion across their faces. But as soon as what was just said had sunk in, the room went to disaster.

"Are you serious? Think of all the knowledge that we could receive from examination of it, we are..." "What! We aren't even going to give it a chance to show us how it will act, what happens if..." "But, I mean, if it's okay with you, could I just possibly be able to get a look at the poor guy, if it..." "And I said OATMEAL, ARE YOU CRAZY.”

Everyone in the room kept arguing with the decision from the princess, until she again raised a hoof in the air.

"My decision is final; I am not going to have a single pony get hurt because somepony wanted to do some research on the thing.”

And with that, all of the mares remained quiet.

"Now, you will all have an hour to get ready. You will leave, use the elements, and then come back." She said, this time with a stern look.

All of the ponies left the room, with Twilight making her way to the princess.

"Princess Celestia is anything wrong. You don't seem like yourself today." She asked her voice full of concern.

The princess looked at her pupil, brushed her hoof against her face, and then sighed. She looked deep into Twilight's eyes saying "No, I am not. I really wish that I do not have to do this, but for the sake of my ponies, I must."

"She looked up to the stained glass windows. "Twilight, you must realize how much bad has been happening lately, with the return of Nightmare Moon, Discord, King Somber, and Sunset Shimmer. And we had to deal with the dragon, Queen Chrysalis and constant problems with other kingdoms. I want to stop this before it can. I really do, but with everything that is going on right now, I must take into play how much longer my ponies will trust me and my judgment. "

She returned her gaze upon the purple alicorn. Her eyes showed thousands of years of wisdom and pain, but her body hid the truth about how long she had lived. And without letting Twilight speak, she left to go find her sister, leaving her to her thoughts.
