> What the...HAY ??? > by FireFizz > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Learn, Change... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "7-o-clock! 7-o-clock ! 7-o--" *Click* "Shut uuuuup.....aahh...." Did I ask somebody to wake me up ? No. Stupid mondays, stupid school... "Stand up, little Cedix. Holidays are oveeer....University's back. To annoy me ALL.YEAR." Aegh, it was useless to complain. It was not like if some crazy god would save me from school and boredom. I didn't know it here, but in fact it happened. I went downstairs with my schoolbag and all the stuff in it. Gosh...heavy, as usual. I looked outside: it was raining, and cars were running down the street. Me versus the rain, the school, fake friends, bad teachers, stupid classmates and boredom. I lost everytime. Anyway, I took my breakfast in the kitchen, too lazy to carry it all the way to the living room. I watched my parents' picture, wondering when they would come back. They were in California, taking long holidays, while I was here, alone and...well...sad. I looked the clock, while eating cereals. "...7.30 am already... Great." Be proud, Cedix Burn. Be brave. Be strong. And face the future with love and patience. Pffft...I didn't even have real friends. How could I have a lover? Getting out of my troubles, something got my attention. A purple circle, surrounded by a light obsidian aura. It was placed just in front of me, on the wall. Everytime I watched it, it was getting bigger and bigger. "What...is this...? I'm brave for now. So, be brave: check. I approched my hand, trying to touch it with a finger. Woooow. It was like jelly. But my entire body could enter it... "Too weird. I don't touch it anymore." I said, standind back. "I just wish I could fly from my entire life..." I started, complaining again. But this time, God heard me, apparently. I looked the sort of...uh...jelly portal on my kitchen wall, and just at its side, a message: 'Get your chance'. I couldn't believe this. It was...so... It looked unreal ! Paranormal !... Be strong. I touched the portal once again, this time putting my entire arm in it. It could take it. My full body. Realising what the god was offering me, I took a pen and paper. 'Mom, Dad, If I'm not here when you return from your holidays, it's because... I take holidays, too. Kisses, Cedix' - - > Change, Learn... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, did you appreciate my offer?" "Huh? What...who are...you?" I sat up on my haunches, looking from side to side. I saw a big black forest, with a tall white blur in front of me. The blur was getting clearer...it was...an animal ?!? "WHAT THE... HAY ??? WHAT WAS THAT? HAY ? WHY DID I--" "QUIET !Calm down please. I have to give you some explanations." The white... animal was sitting too, just in front of me, a serious tone on her face. "You did the right choice. What's your name ?" She asked me, smiling. "Huh... I'm Cedix Burn." I said, confused by all this...world and this tall... cartoonized pony who was facing me. "Great ! Great, great great... So, Mrs. Burn, you wanted to fly away from your life, fly by your own wings ? Here you go." "Wait... What do you mea--AAHHH !" She...she disappeared ! And this forest... I'm so cold... why do I... "What... I'M NAKED ?????? SERIOUSLY ??? AND WHAT IS THIS FORM ? I'M A...PONY TOO ??? AND I HAVE WINGS ??? STOP THE MADNEEEEEEEESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Urrgh...uurg...ah..ah...ahhhhh..." *BUMP* ------------------------------------ "Hey ! Wake up ! Are you alright ? Please, please, answer meeee...." "*kof kof!* HHHUrh... What...happened ?! Who are you ?" I shouted as I returned to my senses. "Oh, thank goodness ! You're okay !" She said, a sigh of relief escaping her mouth. "Yes, I'm okay, I just...freak... Wait a minut, who are you for caring so much about my sanity ?" "Huh ? It's normal to help anypony in need." "Any...Pony ? You mean..." "I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I was walking through the Everfree forest 'cause I had to find a book at the Princesses' old castle about...a certain spell." "Mpf... I think I don't have choice. I'll get use to it. You're...a Unicorn ?" "An Alicorn, to be precise. I was a Unicorn when I became a princess, wich gave me my --" "--Hey, could you please stop talking and help me getting on my...hooves ?" "Oh, of course." She grabbed my shoulders with her magic, and I felt the aura taking me into the air, turning me upside down, then backing me down. "Y-You...can I come with you ? I...am kinda lost right now." "Lost ? You mean... In the Everfree forest ?" "No, I meant lost...in my head." "In...your head...right." I could see in her stare that she wasn't trusting me. "Listen, it's like if I were a stranger, a traveler. I came here, with no idea of what I am supposed to do... and what to think about...all this." "Oh, okay. I guess you have your reasons, I can comprehend this. So, you wanted to come with me ?" "Huh... Yes, please. Where are you going already ?" "To Princess Celestia and Luna 's old castle. I need to find a book." "Oh, okay." After few minutes of silence, Twi...light Thing decided to engage the conversation. "Um... What's your name, if I may ask?" "I'm Cedix. Cedix Burn." "Okay, so... Where do you come from, Cedix ?" "Me ? Hum..." Oh. No. Crap. I was afraid she would ask this. I didn't have time to think about an "invented"answer. "Uh..." I started, as some blush started spawning on my cheeks. "Do you know Manhattan ?" "Oh ! You come from Manehattan ! You're a lucky pony..." "Is...this so cool, Manha-- I mean Manehattan ?" "Are you joking ? If my friend Rarity was here, she would speak a lot about the Generosity's presence in Manehattan..." "Generosity ? Is...this... the Manehattan I know?" "What do you mean ? You didn't come from this town ?" "Yes, Yes ! I did ! But I lived...somewhere else, and... some friends told me Manhattan was filled of peep-- ponies not so generous..." "...Are you sure? It's... Manehattan's caracteristic... Generosity." "... I don't know. Maybe I misunderstood." "And... How old are you, Cedix?" "18." "Oh, you look younger." "Uhh...thanks, I guess." We then stopped talking about this non-sensed stupid subject when we arrived at destination. "Ah ! Here we are !" "Wait... That's the castle you told me ?" "Yes! What do you think it was ?" "I.. I don't know, maybe a CASTLE ! Those things are ruins!" "Hey, calm down !" She took a step back."Luna and Celestia lived there when they were...huh...10 years old I think..." "Huh, sorry, I overreacted..." I apologized." How old are they now ?" "Um...I'm not sure...I think the Princess of Sun is 1050 years old...and-- "Waitwaitwaitwait, WHAT ?" I shouted eyes wide open. "...What what ? Her sister is ...huh...1024...But I'm not-- "But !... But!!!..." I was looking for words. Okay, Cedix, calm down... "Umm... Is Cel..Celestia a tall white....Alicorn ? With a...green/blue/pink/ sparkling mane and a yellow crown ?" I started to wonder. "Uh yes, It's exactly that... Have you met her ?... Cedix ?" "Heheh..." *BUMP* "Oh here we go again..." I heard Twilight sighing before I passed out. I think my spirit loves passing out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Flying in Circles > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *COUGH ! COUGH!...* Urrgh... My head... Where am I ? I opened my eyes as I watched the lilac Alicorn in front of me. -Are you okay, Cedix? You passed out 10 minutes ago, she said. -For the second time I guess... Why was my head hurting me so bad? I couldn't remember what happened when I fell... -Can you stand up, Cedix ? -Of course... I started to raise my head when I discovered I was looking at a cloud. A cloud. In the sky. And I was in front of that cloud. -WHAT THE-AAAAAAAAH!!! Everything went super fast after I screamed. -Cedix?? WHAT IN TARTARUS ARE YOU DOING UP THERE ?!? As I was falling, Twilight got off the ground, flew in my direction and catched me! She catched me with her...tiny muscles! How was that possible? -I can't hold you any..more! Aaah!! Knew it. I watched us falling down on ruins. Were we going to crash into those rocks? That'd be painful. Something came into my brain while we were falling. "How did I get up there ?" The memories flew into my mind. So, Cedix, you wanted to fly on your own wings, uh ? Here you go...! -Twilight! I got you! I flew down and grabbed the Alicorn by the shoulders. I did it. I flied for the first time. At least...I think I did. -Watch out, Cedix! The tree-aaAAH!! I heard a sparkling noise before we crashed. *BUMP* Urrgh.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke up slowly of passing out for the third time. I wasn't hurted. My body was fine. -Am...Am I alive? Twilight, a-are you okay?? Twil- -I'm here. We're fine, Cedix. I protected us. She was right. A large ball of purple aura was surrounding us. -Wow... Thank you, Twilight... I guess you're not a princess for nothing, uh? I giggled quietly. -Thanks, she said as she stood up. I'm not that strong though, I couldn't protect the tree. It' ve fallen because of us. -Oh, well, uh... I'm sorry. I didn't know how to use those...wings. -Yes, about that, said the Alicorn, facing me. Did you ever used your wings or what?? You could have killed us!! -I know!! I'm sorry, T-Twilight! I never knew how to use them... Would that work...? -Wait. You never flied before?? -No, I didn't. -But... Did you at least passed your exam in Cloudsdale? -Y-Yes, I did!! -HOW?? If a pegasus isn't abled to fly, he can't possibly pass a flying exam! -I...I uh... -You what? Tell me how you passed it, Cedix. I need to know. I am screwed. I'm forced to face it. -Twilight, I never passed this exam. -...Could have guessed that. I sighed. -Twilight, I come from the human world. Her eyes went wide. -WHAT??? YOU MEAN... -Calm down!! Don't interrupt me. I discovered this world an hour ago, ok! I only have those wings for only an hour ago. I don't know how to fly, okay? Now, let me just leave! I've cause enough trouble, I said as I ran the fastest possible trough the forest. -CEDIX! Wait! -I'm gonna go find Princess...Sun and tell her to teleport me back to MY WORLD! I'M NOT A PONY!! Tears fell on the ground. -Wait!! You don't know were she lives!! Cedix... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fly by my own wings... If I don't know how to use them, how could I possibly fly ?!? This Princess... Just got in trouble. > Slowly Landing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The guard ran off as soon as he saw me. "Princess!! Princess Celestia, an intruder wants to see you, shall we let her in?" Shouted the white fur guard. -Yes, let her in... I think I have to give her some explanations, said the Alicorn Princess. -YOU BET YOUR WHITE BUTT THAT YOU OWE ME EXPLANATIONS!!! I screamed through the hallway, running to get the "Princess". -Princess, be careful, shouted the guard behind me. She could be dangerous. -I got this, now leave, please. Celestia managed to keep her calm. She'll see what I'm able to do! I don't need her to tell me what I should do... A really burning rage was consuming me in the instant. I think I got this from my family. -Your Majesty, I need you to tell me THE FU-- -Would you like some tea before? The alicorn quickly interrupted me. -Gh... Your highness, I'm serious!! I need explanations!! How could she stay calm in a situation like this one?? A strange power was telling me I should contain myself and keep my calm... And this power was forcing me to listen to her. -Ahh... Princess, an hour ago, Twilight Sparkle almost died because of my unability to fly!! Do you even realize this?!? -Hmm... She was...drinking her tea? SERIOUSLY ?!? -GOSH! You're really the RULER OF THIS WORLD? YOU DONUT LOOK LIKE IT! -Now, my little pony, what's wrong? I know my faithful student can save herself from any danger. I've seen this many times before, you shouldn't worry about this. *sluurp*. -I...I guess you're right, but still... Gosh... I dindn't know if I could admit it... -I want to go back to the human world... I looked at my hooves. -I prefer going back to my home then staying here and being a danger for other peop-ponies. -Now now now... Look who's regretting her portalization trough Equestria... I could feel her hoof patting my head. -*sluuuuurp*... Unfortunately, Cedix, I can't send you back to your world...for now. -Oh..Thank- WHAT??? WAIT, WHY ? I can't stay here!! -It seems like you'll have to. The portal spell costs me a lot of magic to use. *sluuurp* She looked at me in the eyes. -I, Princess Celestia... Oh no. What does this mean? I'm never going to see my parents again? And my little sister?? She is going to be so sad and desperate...without...me.. The princess was bowing down to me. -...am sincerely sorry about this statement of yours. I can however promise that when my magic power will be ready, I will immediatly bring you back to the world of yours. My jaw was almost touching the ground. -Pr-Princess! Why are are you doing this? Get up, I don't need your reverences! I'm so so sorr-Agh! The white alicorn took me in her front legs and hugged me. -Don't be sorry. This is all my fault, she said as she released the hug. While you're here, I shall find you a place to sleep. -No! I can't accept such an offer! I'll sleep in the forest, I'll find a tree, and- -Okay, If you insist, said the Princess before closing the room's doors. I think there's a friend of mine who could however host you in her house... -Again, I'm sorry about all this, Princ-GAH! Where am I ? Those shiny rooms... This smell... It looks familiar. -Um... Hello ? I heard a voice in the end of the hallway. -Cedix? The voice teleported right into my face. -Thank Celestia, you're still here!... She was hugging me. Gosh. What was with the hugs today? And why was she happy about me staying in ...Equestria? I almost killed her! -H-Hello again, Twilight... I said as I broke the hug gently. I talked to Princess and I have to stay here for a while... -I know. I received this letter. On the letter was wrote the words in a beautiful horn-writing: Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle, You may have encountered a red and pink pegasus name Cedix Burn. She is probably going to ask me to bring her back to her world, because, yes, if you didn't know it, she have been teleported by myself to our Equestrian world. If she ever asks you where she could find me, you should show her the way to my castle. It was all I had to say, again thank you for reading this letter. Your faithful teacher, Princess Celestia. Wow. I now understand why she is the Ruler of Equestria. -So, how did you find the way to her castle anyways? -Oh-Uh... I asked to a pink bouncing...pony... -Pinkie Pie. -That's her name? -Yes, It's a great friend of mine. -Well, Pinkie..Pie showed me the big Castle in Canterlot. Oh by the way, you'll have to thank her for me, she bought me a train ticket to Canterlot... She is really nice, besides her...crazy attitude. -Ahah, she's just the "Craziest Pony in the Town", as we use to call her. Twilight giggled, for the first time. -You know what, you'll thank her by yourself. Now come with me, I shall show you the guests room. -Oh, thank you Twi-I mean Princess! -Oh, please, the mare said, facing me with her big obsidian eyes. Don't call me like that, call me Twilight. -O-Okay, Twilight... Still, how am I going to say thanks to Pinkie Pie? -You'll surely see her tomorrow. She'll come to ask me if I met you, and what's your name, and...stuff like that.She loves caring about other ponies. She wants to know them all. That's probably why she bought you a train ticket, by the way. Didn't she ask you who you were? -I...think she did, but I was too worried about myself for caring about her questions... I guess. We laughed together. I've never felt so cool with a stranger. Our worlds are so differents... This is what Equestria makes to you? WAIT... I realize it now. I've seen this universe before. My sister was watching that show someday. "My Little Pony, Friendship Is Magic" Sweet... Celestia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
