> What would you do > by Chris Sauter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Wyatt get up! You're gonna be late for school!" Your mother's shrill voice shouted at you from downstairs. You woke up slowly, letting your eyes adjust to the light as you sat up. Your alarm clock read 6:00. You had a little over an hour to get ready. Hopping out of bed you put on your clothes. Nothing more than a simple t-shirt and shorts. Heading to the bathroom, you grab the brush and quickly fix up your shoulder length brown hair. Getting it out of your face is one thing, but keeping it out of your face is nearly impossible. After a couple minutes of brushing, you head to the kitchen, not seeing your mother, she must be in her own room. You grab a bowl of cereal and eat it quickly. Going back upstairs you back your bag with everything you need. Math, science, social studies books, last nights homework, etc. Without looking you reach to your desk, trying to grab the last sheet of your math homework, but you feel something metal and hard in your hand. You bring it to your face and see that it appears to be made of gold. On one side is a big 1 and below it is "BIT" etched in bold. On the other side is...is that Celestia? Yes, even though you would never admit it to anyone, you watch My Little Pony often. The show is cute and funny, you find it very enjoyable. And, although she's not your favorite pony you could still recognize Celestia anywhere. This coin is not something that belongs to you, this much is obvious. So where did it come from? "WYATT! The bus is here! Get a move on!" Your mother yells. You could quickly finish your investigations, or just leave the coin there. Hopefully it will still be waiting for you when you get back. Well Wyatt, what is your choice? Investigate Leave It > Leave it > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess you don't want to go on fun adventures in Equestria. Idiot. You leave the coin and go about your day in school. Returning home only to find that the coin has gone missing. You have no one else to blame but yourself. Literally, all you had to do was bite the coin. Nice job wasting that once in a lifetime opportunity, moron. > Investigate > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You decide to do one test before leaving, just to see if this is real gold. You bite down on the coin with your teeth and are surprised to feel it heat up to nearly 200 degrees. You drop the coin and see that it is dark red. Steam is coming off of it as the carpet floor you dropped it upon burns to a dark black. Suddenly, there's a blinding flash of light. It's too bright, you can't see. The world around you goes white before your eyes close and everything fades to black. You don't feel the hard wood underneath the single thin layer of carpet as you fall back. Just cool air rushing past you. "Is it alright?" A feminine voice asks. It sounds familiar. "I don't know. Maybe we should take it to Princess Celestia?" Another voice responds. This one you know you've heard. "Hey I think it's waking up!" The first voice shouts. Wait, is that Rainbow Dash? You groggily wake up, the bright sun shines into your eyes as you open them and see 6 figures standing around you. "Be careful girls, it could be dangerous." A voice you now recognize as Twilight Sparkle warns. You sit up and rub your eyes for a few seconds before looking around you. The mane 6, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, and Fluttershy are all standing around you. Each around 2-3 feet tall and looking very soft. "What kind of weird dream is this?" You ask no one in particular as you stand up. Even Rainbow Dash, the self proclaimed "Fearless flier" cowers a little at your impressive 6 foot height. "Um..y-you're not going to hurt us...are you mister big scary monster?" You hear a scared little voice behind you ask. You turn around to see Fluttershy, hiding her eyes behind her hooves. She pokes them out and you can see the fear in them. You've only said 7 words and she already looks ready to faint. Looks like Shy-Shy is real scared of you "Mister Monster". Well, it's time to make a first impression. What are you going to do to introduce yourself? Ask where you are Comfort Fluttershy Scream and Run > Comfort Fluttershy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can ask were you are later, right now there's a scared Fluttershy who needs cuddling! You get on your knees and pick Fluttershy up. The little "Eep" sound she makes as you lift her light body off the ground is adorable. She's not very heavy, only 50 or 60 pounds. You hold her close and pet her mane, trying to show her that you mean no harm. Eventually, she stops hiding her face and looks up at yours. You make the nicest smile you can manage, and it seems to work. Fluttershy leans into you and lets you keep petting her. It almost sounds like she purrs when you scratch her ear. You spend a few minutes petting Fluttershy as she lays in your lap before you remember that there are other ponies. You reluctantly turn your attention back to the others who are no longer cowering over your large size. Twilight is the first to speak up. "Hello, I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle. Welcome to Ponyville. I've never seen a creature like you." She says, staring at you with a look of wonder. "Hi, I'm Wyatt Philips. I'm a human, I come from California, the land of palm trees and Disneyland." You tell her. Holding out your hand, but then remembering that ponies don't have hands. "Amazing..." You hear Twilight say as she walks around you, studying your features. Suddenly, she comes to her senses. "We need to take you to meet the Princess! Here, follow us." She says before walking off. You follow her, looking around the forest you have found yourself in. It is an interesting place and this is a weird dream. But, you've never had a dream where you got to pet Fluttershy, so might as well enjoy this while it last. "Oh you must tell me, what is this outfit you're wearing?" Rarity asks, signalling to your t-shirt with her hoof. Your shirt is tie-dyed and 1 size too big but you never cared that much, but to a pony who's never seen an outfit like yours, it must look amazing. "It's called a t-shirt. Everyone in my world wears them." You tell her. "Oh, a world of culture! I simply must visit it sometime!" She says, practically jumping up and down in excitement. "Yeah, and the rainbow look is pretty awesome." Rainbow says, floating up above you. By the time you finally reach your destination you've answered hundred of questions. Everything from what an XBOX is to who you are. "You can tell me more about this land of Disney later, I think we're here." Twilight said. You looked and saw that you were standing at a train station. You had been too focused on questions to notice, but now you saw the large crowd gathering around to see you. It took a lot of work to push past the crowd and get on the train, but eventually, you were off. On your way to Canterlot. "So, can ya tell me more 'bout this Billy Ray Cyrus fellah. " Applejack said after everyone had settled in. The train ride took just under a day to complete, but the 7 of you had finally reached Canterlot. You would've been there sooner, but you had made the mistake of giving Pinkie a candy bar. It took a few hours and lots of rope to keep her from jumping all over the train. You were fully aware of all the stares you were receiving as you walked up to the large golden doors to the castle. Even the guards who had been trained to be fearless, were nervous as they walked by you. One of the guards knocked on Celestia's door. "Princess, there's a creature here to see you. Calls itself a Wyatt." The tan guard said. His gold armor reflecting the sun which poured through the windows. "A what?" The princess asked as she opened her door and looked to the guard. Her gaze quickly went to me and her eyes went wide. She stumbled back but quickly found her balance. Even Princess Celestia was not as tall as you, standing at just over 5 foot. Well, time to truly decide how this world will see you? This is a princess, how will you introduce yourself to her? Polite greeting: Rude Greeting Cute greeting > Ask Where You Are > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you mean "Where are you?" You watch the show don't you? Oh well... Suddenly everything that's happening sinks in and you scream, falling backwards and crawling away from what is clearly a harmless pony. The ones standing around you also shout and jump away, afraid that what you are doing is some sort of attack but soon learning that you're just scared. "Aww I think he's scarred." Fluttershy said after learning this. She walked up to you and started petting your hair, as if you were a cat. The feeling of her soft hooves was actually very soothing. Twilight walked over to you and knelt. "Hello, I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle. Welcome to Ponyville. I've never seen a creature like you." She says, staring at you with a look of wonder. "Hi, I'm Wyatt Philips. I'm a human, I come from California, the land of palm trees and Disneyland." You tell her. Holding out your hand, but then remembering that ponies don't have hands.

You were fully aware of all the stares you were receiving as you walked up to the large golden doors to the castle. Even the guards who had been trained to be fearless, were nervous as they walked by you. One of the guards knocked on Celestia's door. "Princess, there's a creature here to see you. Calls itself a Keith." The tan guard said. His gold armor reflecting the sun which poured through the windows. "A what?" The princess asked as she opened her door and looked to the guard. Her gaze quickly went to me and her eyes went wide. She stumbled back but quickly found her balance. Even Princess Celestia was not as tall as you, standing at just over 5 foot. Well, time to truly decide how this world will see you? This is a princess, how will you introduce yourself to her? Polite greeting: Rude Greeting Cute Greeting > Scream and Run > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone's a little bitch. You sprint off, screaming at the top of your lungs. The birds nestling in the trees take flight, trying to escape your sounds. Eventually, you stop, taking a minute to lean against a tree. You fall to the ground, tree to your back, and breathe heavily. That is, until you feel something soft and heavy sit in your lap. You look to find Pinkie's face a mere 3 inches from your own. She bears a smile almost large than her face and the look of a well trained party animal. "HELLO!" She says loudly before pulling you into a hug. You scream and tear her off you before continuing your sprint. Soon, you trip on a rock and fall off a conveniently placed cliff. That is the last anyone hears of you. > Cute Greeting > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh great, another one of these guys. The ones who just want to snuggle wuggle with their favorite pony "Your mane is so pretty." You say, stepping towards the princess. She takes a few steps back but doesn't make it very far before you reach a hand behind her head and pet her mane. Her guards are at the ready, spears drawn, when Celestia signals for them to lower their weapons. She leans into you as you pet her mane and back. "These ponies are more like cats." You think to yourself as you give Celestia a scratch behind the ear that makes her fall into your arms. You almost topple over with her, this 5 foot pony is certainly more of a challenge to hold than the others, but you manage to keep her upright. "Hello princess, I'm Wyatt. A human from another dimension." You explain to her calmly, she simply mumbles in return. Well magic fingers, seems you've got princess putty in your hands. So, how will you mold it? Ask for a way back home: Ask for a new home: Chat with all the princesses > Rude Greeting > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone's a meanie. "Hello, Wyatt was it? I am Princess Celestia." The princess says to you after getting over the shock of seeing a creature like you. "Yeah, whatever." You respond in an uninterested tone. Why? Because you're a jerk. Celestia looks offended for only the slightest moment before continuing. "Where are you from Keith?" Celestia asks, crooking her head to the left. "Earth or something I guess." You say, still being a total douche. This time Celestia's face stays offended. Clearly, she is not a fan of you. "Well, I've never heard of Earth before. But if you wish to return, then I'm sure we can find a way." Celestia says, putting on a fake smile but still scowling at you. "UGH! Fuck. That. I'm out! See ya!" You say, flipping the princess the bird as you stroll past her guards and the other ponies. You exit the castle, happy that none of those damn ponies followed you. I mean, who would want to have fun with fluffy little ponies that love everything? A moron, that's who. You hop aboard the train and sit in the back. "Might as well take a nap while I'm here." You think to yourself, closing your eyes and laying head back. "How dare you sit in the great and powerful Trixie's seat, you...you beast!" You hear a voice yell at you. Opening your eyes, you find a light blue pony with a pretty white mane. Her cutie mark is some sort of wand with magic dust following it. She's wearing a hat bigger than her head, and a cape. Both are a light shade of purple, with stars all over it. There is a small diamond holding the ends of the cape together. Yours eyes travel up and meet hers, a nice shade of purple, and full of more hate than you thought possible from such adorable creatures. "Trixie said, get out of her seat!" The small blue unicorn yelled at you. Not in the mood to start a fight, you move to the side. "That is Trixie's seat as well! All of the seats belong to the great and powerful TRIXIE!" Trixie yells at you. You look around and see that all the seat do have her cutie mark on them. Well, even jerks need friends. So, what are you going to do? Stay Here Leave: > Stay Here > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone wants a friend.... "You know, I think I'm going to stay here." You say, a grin on your face as you look at Trixie. Her eyes are almost wider than her head as she stares at you in shock, unable to believe that someone would say no to her. She stutters, trying to find the right words to scream at you with. As she falters, you reach a hand out and pet her. Her stuttering stop immediately. You pull her close and she is unable to fight back as you sit her next to you and pet her head. She stares daggers into you, daggers that you ignore. Choosing instead, to scratch behind her ear. This causes her to all but melt in your hands. "What was that about me leaving?" You ask her in a sarcastic tone. "I..Trixie supposes you can stay here, for a little while." She says, purring slightly as you scratch under her chin. Looks like buying that house cat was a good idea. It trained you to deal with a ponies. Apparently. You could use a helper if you're going to be stuck here for a while. Who knows, maybe she'll even be better at magic in real life. But if she's not, then you'll just be weighed down. "Weighed down" These ponies are less than 20 pounds each and you think they'll weigh you down? Oh well, make your decision Mr. Lonely. Ask Trixie to help you Fuck that bitch. > Chat with the princesses (Cute) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I get the feeling you just want to cuddle with everything. Well SURPRISE! Now you're evil! Princess Celestia in the palm of your hand? Oh this could be very good, but before you do anything rash, should probably check on the others. "Celestia, can you call the other princesses here?" You ask her in a soft tone. She barely responds, a quiet moan is all you hear before her horn lights up in a brilliant gold glow. A ball of pure gold light forms at the tip and floats up. Just before reaching the ceiling, it explodes. You are blinded by the sheer intensity of the light as it shines brighter than the sun. Thankfully, the light dies down and you find your eyes working again. Looking around the room you find the other 3 princesses, along with you and Celestia, in some sort of crystal room. Your petting stops, much to the dismay of Celestia who rubs against your arms, and look around the room. Princess Cadence, there is some sort of silly look on her face but you pass it off as nothing. Luna, staring at you with a scowl on her face, which only intensifies when she sees Celestia's upper body in your lap begging you to pet her. Looking closely, you find that the stars in her mane are actually moving and every few seconds a few will align and a line of white light will appear. The final princess is Twilight. She appears slightly scared at suddenly being transported to a strange room. "Princess, where are we?" She ask, her eyes looking around the room. "Alicorn only.....safe room......magic..." Celestia mutters as you finally return your hand to her mane. "So, how are we today?" You ask, looking around the room. "THOU SHALL UNHAND OUR SISTER IMMEDIATELY!" Luna shouted, her anger had finally boiled over. "Luna calm down." Twilight said, grabbing the moon princess with her hooves and pulling her back into the seat. Luna sat, but still angrily stared at you. "This is Wyattt," Twilight began "he's a human. As in, a new species from a new world. That means we need to be nice to him so that...we...can" Her voice tapered off as she looked in Cadence's direction. "C-Cadence?" She asked hesitantly. Cadence turned to look at her, that same silly smile on her face, only Twilight didn't find it silly or funny. Twilight gasped as she looked at her stepsister. Tears formed at the edges of Twilight's eyes and you strained your neck to try and find out why. You finally noticed it, Cadence's eyes. "Celestia, what happened to Cadence!?" Twilight asked the pony in your lap. She ever so slightly opened her eyes and looked. Neither one of Cadence's eyes were looking forward Celestia tensed only slightly, but a scratch behind the ear solved that. Taking a few more moments to look, Celestia finally said "She's derped. The long teleport to get here must have messed with her mind. It'll wear off in a few hours." Celestia was clearly only half interested, just as you wanted. Feeling like some sort of James Bond villan with a cat in your lap, you spoke. "Oh Twilight, we humans have the ability to fix derping instantly." You lied. "You do? That's great!" Twilight said, a happy trusting smile on her face. Oh Twilight, she always was a trusting one. "Yes, but I need you and Luna to help. Just come over here." You said. Twilight happily got up and walked over. Luna hesitated for only a moment before sneaking a peak at Cadence and deciding it was for the best. The two alicorns stopped in front of you. "WHAT DOES THOU REQUIRE OF US?" Luna asked. You stopped petting Celestia, much to her dismay, and reached out towards the purple and blue ponies. Before they could react you had your hands behind their heads. With all the strength you could must, you pulled them into a big hug. As they struggled to break free, you began scratching them behind their ears. You released them from the hug, but they didn't move. Perfect, they're pony putty in your hands. Now you just have to mold them. Well well well, looks like someone's going to take over Equestria. But what about the other one. Cadence? Take care of Cadence She's not hurting anyone, I'll do it later
