> I Hate Being In Equestria > by ImNoPony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Entry 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hate bronies. The doesn't mean they're aren't nice people or make nice things, but they just do things that just pisses me off. And yet, I write fan fiction about "Friendship Is Magic" and that just pisses me off to no end. I originally did it out of a bet. One friend of mine try to introduce me to the show, I didn't want to, have a drinking contest and now I know everything in the past 4 seasons (by the time that I'm writing. But the jokes on him, I still haven't watched the show... sort of. I watch online reviews on it on YouTube and look it up on the wikia. But the damned thing is like a disease. The second you get exposed to it, you'll get infected and you slowly want to know more. And now... I'm in denial. I would say that... if I have something to deny about. And now... I'm in my own personal hell because I'm in every brony's wet dream. But where do I begin. I entered my apartment after I left work. I'm a guy so I have a guy's apartment. Clothes on the floor, don't clean dishes enough, etc. Whenever I will have guests over, I try my best to hide all of the obvious mess. It works on friends but not family. I also don't like to spend a lot of money, even on myself. The place only has three rooms: a bedroom, bathroom and one living room/kitchen. The place is also a bit cramped. I just managed to fit a double bed, draws, TV and wardrobe in the bedroom. My living room... oh god, my living room. It was spaces when I moved it. But now it: large TV, coffee table, sofa that can only fit 3 people (if you count sitting on the arm rests, then 5) and 3 shelfs for movies, books and games. Yeah, I'm a bit of a geek and not to one specific thing either. Got over 100+ games in various of genres. Puzzles, platformers, RPGs, shoot 'em ups, you name it. Which console? All Of Them! Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox... sort of. I have all of the current gen' consoles, but I had to get rid of all of my older generation's. As for books, I mainly get graphic novels. Japanese manga and western comics. However, I no longer have any more space to collect more manga and I don't have much of a comic book collection. I have a plenty of DVDs. Mostly of Anime and cartoon series. I have box sets of adult cartoon... but of shows that people don't like anymore. I do have some live action movies and TV shows, but not a lot. I also don't have cable or satellite. But that's ok, I mainly watch all of my latest stuff on the internet. Ahhh... my internet. Watch any show, any episode at any time... if I can watch it for free that is. I also watch a lot of online reviewers. NC, AVGN, ANY...... lets move on. My job is pretty sweet. I current work at a games store down near the centre of my town. Pay well and good and everyone there is really cool. Try to hit on the female employees there, but all of them was taken. They say they will find me a date though, so there is that. The best thing about it though is that it's walking distance from where I live. And if I no longer work there, I can quickly picked up by another shop nearby. I have plenty of friends which I made at school and at community collage. Though I don't often meet up in person anymore because most of them have moved away to different cities or different countries. I try my best to keep in touch with social networking sites and email. I do have enough to fill my couch and we do meet up once a week for games and movies. Yep! My life is maybe small, but I love it. Now the only things that is left to do is find a girlfriend, hope that she's the one, and loose my virginity... forget that last part. Wait: loose my virginity to a woman AND NOW forget. However, out of all of the things that I have, the only thing that didn't want, don't want, is the pony stuff. Aside from secretly subscribing to brony's channels, I have a FIMfiction account and making fan fictions for it. I originally did it to help improve my writing skills because one day that I want to publish a book and hope to be really famous, but not I feel like I have a moral obligation to it. I don't know why because not a lot people... wait, I mean not a lot of bronies read them. The only My Little Pony merchandise that I own are the two Equestria Girls DVDs (which I will admit of liking it and thinks that they are better then the show) and one season 1 DVD. I found one the season 1 DVD in the street one day and it was in really good shape. So I tried to sell it. But when I did, the guy behind the desk laughed at me for having it and I left the store. Out of embarrassment... and because I was kicked out I called the guy a fucking bastard. And now I hid those DVDs behind my movies shelf which no one was ever found them. And now the one brony friend that I know (nice guy but really like to push his interests to people) is pushing me to be more apart of the community. Trying to convince me that I'm a brony. Anyway, I got home after I left work. After making some dinner, I relaxed on my sofa and brought out my laptop. I check all of the channels that I subscribed to, but there wasn't any new videos. That is, wasn't any new videos that really interest me. Oh, I'm sorry. That's a lie. The only channels that made new and interesting videos are the brony channels. Aside from talking about season 5, it was mainly about reviewers talking about old episodes, talking about odd topic and bronies trying to review something non-pony related. I mean, I like them and think that they're all good, but it just that... that can't be the only source that I should be find interesting right now. Then suddenly, my laptop "pinged" me. When I checked, it was an email from one of my friends. My brony friend. All he said was that he liked my latest story and want to met up with the rest of the guys later. Brony, pony, brony. Today it was just attacking me. Not only now, but also earlier at work. I sold to deck or My Little Pony card to some guy today. But you want to know the really fucked up part? The guy had his wife and teenaged daughter with him... and the daughter was buying a call of duty game. Side note: the daughter was pretty hot. I mean she was young enough to make things a but awkward and I would never do stuff like that, but I'm betting the age difference was 5 years at max. Anyway, when I sold the pack of pony cards I expected his family would chew him out for it. The wife did nothing about it but the daughter did a little bit. Anyway, I reply to my email and say that I will join them. But after I closed my email account, I was suddenly remembered about my FIMfiction account. Letting the feeling take over, I went over there and see how well popular my stories were doing. Usually, my stories would get the same amount of likes and dislikes but always have a bit more likes. When I check how well my last story did, I found it have 20 likes and 80 and so dislikes. And I was like: "OH CRAP!" I made a personal goal with myself that if my stories would make 20 likes, I would make a new story. Usually, it would take over a well over a month to get that high. But this took less then 3 weeks. I can at least say that my writing must have defiantly improved. But I was left with a dilemma. Before I would go to met my friends, I would have to come up with a idea for a new story. Why before? Because if I leave it, it would just be on my mind for the rest of the evening. I wasn't gunna actually start writing it. I just gunna think of an interesting plot and premise and find adequate cover image for it. I went over and select to make a new story. But when the editing page come up, I was left completely stumped. Usually, I often think of what would be really good episodes that would be on the show. Not any ship fic's or dark stories, tales that would take up a 30 minute long episode that is self contained. I do have romance or dark subtext in some of my stories before, but never the main focus. At least not the dark stuff. Also, never any cross-overs. But anyway, I was left frustrated because I just couldn't think of any. Usually I would come up something but just couldn't. Sometimes I would have trouble thinking, I would watch a brony analysis video that would get me to have good ideas. However, as I move back to YouTube, I thought of something. Something... but not my story related. When I glanced at the time, I realized that I have plenty of time to get ready and tidy up my place a little bit. I'm old enough to be responsible and be kind to my place. And I could say that I have a writers block and couldn't do anything for a while. I want let this take a stronger hold over me. But then, as soon as I got up and get stuff ready, I stopped. Something was stopping from doing anything until I just start something. I kicked myself, call myself an idiot and went back to my laptop. I wanted to just go and leave all of this stuff behind, but I just couldn't it was like I'm being dragged back to my laptop. When I stared at an empty box for the story description, I was screaming inside my head: "Think! THINK!" without actually coming up with a premise. I was meant to be thinking up a character to focus on but I was to mad at FIM and myself for doing this. Subconsciously, the angrier I get, the closer my head to the screen. I know it was bad for me but I just don't know why I did it. But then, something happened. My head got to the point of overload and made some sort of an emergency shut down. I wasn't that close or stared at it too long, but my eyes just felt irritated. And as soon I closed my eyes, I felt drowsy and tired. I hindsight, it was all a bit strange. But at the moment, I just couldn't think. I fell on my sofa and fall asleep with an irritating headache. As I fall deeper and deeper into slumber, my headache slowly went away. In real life, this was probably an overload of stress. If things went naturally, I would just have a nightmare and woke up being late to meet up with my friends. Oh Wait! I did had a nightmare. It was an old memory of school. Do you remember seeing a scene when a character entered into his or hers memory. Not like when they take possession of their old self's. More like that they were there as some sort of an astral projection and just watching the memory as an observer. It was like that. I was transported back to a memory I had at school, the times where I got bullied a lot. I had friends and the teachers was nice, it was just the other students that I just don't get along with like to bully and tease me. Usually, they wrote "gay" on my books and just teased me. The only times it would get abusive and violent is when I get violent. At first, I thought: "Wow! I can't believe I'm having a dream like this. I can't believe that I know that I'm dreaming." I never had lucid dreams before. So what that I got sent back to a bad memory. I just couldn't believe that I was a ghost. But as soon as I thought I would do goofy dream ghost related stuff, I realize something was wrong. I was inside a workshop where we make stuff out of wood. Next, we go next door to go to the electronics class to find circuits and stuff to make it light up or look cool. I saw a younger me entered back into the classroom and just thought: "I look pretty dong good back then in my school uniform... Oh God! I'm turning into my mother!" But then, as my younger self went and pick up his books, he discovered someone had written something on it. It was mean to say: "gay". But when I look over, I discovered that is says... brony. As I was like: "WHAT!", my younger me turned around and yelled: "Stop Doing This!" All of the other guys in the class started to laugh and say that I like My Little Pony. The girls just watch in disappointment and just leave. If this had actually happened, I would bet that those girls would approach me later and try to make me feel better. But anyway, I yelled in my dream: "NO! This Isn't What Happened! I Don't Care That I Got Bullied, It Just Can't Be About MLP!" I ran out of the room. Because I was a ghost, I thought I could just run out through the wall. But when I tried, I just smack myself against it. I was like: "What The F!" At least people still couldn't see me, or else I would really become a ghost. When I saw the door, I run straight towards it. When burst straight through it, I entered a vast, black empty void. When I realize where I was, I discovered that my feet was still running. I thought that if I don't continue running, I would fall. I look behind me to see the door I came from but it was gone. All I did was continue running and look ahead. When I actually see what I was running towards, I saw I big, bright white light. I instantly thought: "That's heaven" and remember the phrase: "Don't run towards the light." I tried to stop, but soon discovered that I was right. As I slow down, I feel like I was deeper and deeper and getting lower and lower into the darkness. So instead, I went back up and decide to run towards the light. Obviously, the closer that I got, the brighter that I got. As the light was developing me, I thought I would wake up to see the blank empty page on my computer screen. I ran and entered the light. As I was waking up, I feel somehow relaxed. Almost like those times where you would go back asleep in the mornings. I feel so relaxed. My headache was gone and I was feeling a cool breeze. But then, I realize that I was feeling a cool breeze. I don't have a fan in my apartment, I have air conditioning. More importantly, the breeze was coming from under me. Guess what I see when I opened my eyes. 3. 2. 1. Did you guess? It was a fast approaching ground. I was falling and if I don't do anything, it would be towards my death. I would think that I was still dreaming but by how fast and hard I was being bumbled by the wind, I don't want to take any chances. When I look down (which made things a bit worse because I was afraid of heights), I spotted a patch trees a few inches away from where I was gonna land. I thought those trees would break my fall so I tried my best to get myself over them. I breast stroke and swim in the sky to push myself in the sky. I didn't know it would work before, but it was definitely was working for me. As I was pushing myself as hard as I can, I dreadful thought just entered my mind. "What if I would get impaled by some by the trees; like a tree branch?" As the realization was downing on me, I finally crash landed on the trees. And very fortunately, I survived. Believe it or not, I wasn't also not that badly damaged. I landed on a giant bed of leaves that really cushioned my fall. No broken bones, just a couple of cuts and bruises, sore all over but nothing else. If this wasn't a cartoon, then this would be a miracle. As I was reeling from the fall damage, I did something stupid. As if I was waking up from a light hangover, I thought that I got to make sure this wasn't a dream. So I slap myself. Then I yell: "I'm Already In Pain! Why Did I Just Slap Myself!?!" When I finally got myself up, I discovered something strange... I was standing on all fours. I don't know why and I did not look down. I try to stand up on what was meant to be on my proper legs but I just fall back onto all fours again. Feeling all dread, I hesitantly look down. I didn't see any fingers, the back of my hand or even my hand. What I saw was... HOOVES! I was turned into a pony. I run around in circles like a dog trying to catch his own tail to see the rest of me. I has turned into a pony. I touch myself all over and discovered that I have a horn. I was turned into a pony. When I look around again, I saw that I have a cutie mark. It was the anti-brony symbol: a shadow of Rainbow Dash being covered by the banned symbol. I thought that was really cool BUT I WAS TURNED INTO A FREAKING PONY! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED! The shock hit me like I was headshot by a sniper. Both metaphorically and literally in a game of Call Of Duty. As I was in the shock an' awe in the while experience, the only thing that was keeping me sane was: "How did I become a pony?" And not just any pony, one with a horn and a cutie mark. No doubt that I had something to do My Little Pony and the only times when things transform is by magic or enter into another world. If I was changed because of a magic spell, I would either still be in my apartment or somewhere else that is modern day. I don't see any industrialized concrete, tall buildings or power lines. In fact, I wonder where the hell was I. I left the trees. Admittingly, it was really odd walking with hooves but they were really not all that difficult. Ok, there was the odd stumble but I was surprisingly easy. Whenever anybody try to walk on their hands and feet, it doesn't go so well or would look really stupid. Maybe because I was a... horse now. Yeah, maybe that's right. Before, I have a human's spin. And now, I have an equine's spin. Anyway, I left the trees. I found myself on some sort of field. It was also very feeling very slope-py. Very steep, like I was on top of something. In fact, I could actually see a few mountains around me. When I look down, I saw a town.... A town with a giant crystal castle down in the middle of it. I saw Ponyvile. And now... I'm in my own personal hell because I'm in every brony's wet dream So how in the hell do I get back home? > Entry 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So here I am. In my own personal worst nightmare and every brony's wet dream. I'm a pony, in Equestria and have no way to go home. No way I would trap here. I'm gunna get home. So... where do I start. I still stood just outside the trees from where I started and watch down at Ponyvile. Obviously, I can't do anything on my own. I would need help and I know who: Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6. Why not Celestia or some other super magical beings? They're not main characters, are they? Finding them shouldn't be all that hard either. I know where all of them work and where they most likely be. Applejack is at the form, Rarity would be at her fashion boutique and Pinkie Pie would most likely by at Sugar Cube Corner. But hang-on... that doesn't mean that they will defiantly be there. For all I know, they will either be hanging with Twilight in her castle, which no way anybody will ever let me into a castle of royalty, or all of them left town. Maybe they're visiting the Crystal Empire, Canterlot or Rainbow Falls. But I stop. Even thought that would be a plausible possibility, that doesn't mean any of them were happening. The next problem would be to find them. I know where all of their favourite places, but I still wouldn't know where they are. Twilight's castle wouldn't be hard to find because that thing is huge. But again, I can't enter there right away. I would have to find Rarity's boutique or Sugar Cube' and hope that they there. But fortunately, I'm not afraid to ask for directions. All I have to do is to pick a random, ask them to point me where to go and that's that. As for Rainbow Dash however... I don't think I could to talk to her. She would either be at her home, which is a cloud house in the sky so there is no way for me to get there. She could be with her friends, but it's a 1-in-5 chance and pointless since one other Mane 6 member already there. She could also either flying around or moving the clouds, but if that happens, she would be to fay away or going too fast for her to hear me. But there is a problem to that plan: my cutie mark. I really like it that my mark is the anti-brony logo that I like to use. But if a pony would have a look at that, then there will be a lot of complications. They would wonder why this pony's cutie mark is banning ponies and wonder what it means. Now, I wouldn't mind telling them that I'm a human from another world. I would most defiantly have to tell the Mane 6 that if I ever want to get their help. I would tell the more common ponies that only when I have to and that's isn't a problem for me. The real problem would be telling them about My Little Pony; telling them that I know all of them from a show where I get to watch their lives. No way that would cause problems. Then, I thought of another problem that might happen. Even if I find the Mane 6, got them to help and have something for me, Twilight would most likely send me to the Equestria Girls universe. The only experience Twilight had with humans was when she went to Canterlot High and I know that isn't the world where I come from. I have to make clear that that world is not my own and still hide the TV show from them. It might not be the hardest, but I would defiantly be a very hard challenge. So the first thing I have to do is to got to Ponyvile. But before I can go, I have to find a way to cover up my cutie mark. I can't cover them up with any of my hooves because I couldn't walk. I can't just stick a plaster over it or else the ponies will be wondering why I'm covering it. I can't get clothes because I have no money on me. AND I'm in a big open field by a couple of trees so how can I get any of those stuff. But as was thinking, a large rag got blown towards me. And I'm not even kidding, It was large enough to be worn and it hides my cutie mark. No seriously. It has a neck hole to fit my head through and it reaches as far back as my tail. Too bad that it doesn't have a hood because then it would look more like a robe. It would have helped because I look kind of silly in this. In fact, I would still look silly even if this did look like a robe. But anyway, at least it hides my mark and I can go straight town without any problems. I made my way to Ponyvile. By the time that I got there, I have figured out how to work probably on 4 legs. I mean, it still feel really wired and I think I still haven't got it down, but it was enough to walk around in public. Also, it was hell walking to Ponyvile. Whenever I have to work down a slope, I tripped and fell and wouldn't stop until I hit bottom. And there was the distance. From where I crash-landed, I was a couple of miles from Ponyvile. Saying that my feet hurt when I arrived was an understatement. I don't drive and I would often walk, but that doesn't mean I always like it. At least I don't spend on gas money or car insurance. As I was walking down the street, I was taken and look back to all of the things around me. I may not like the show, but I do know how all of the things work. I don't believe that Equestria is an utopia where everyone would want to live in, but I do know that it's a very nice and beautiful place. Nice houses, kind people, etc. In fact, why am I telling you this? If your reading this, you should know what I'm on about. The ponies around me did give me an odd look because of the rag I was wearing, but they all mostly ok with it. Whenever I spot a bunch of girl ponies laughing at me, they quickly change their faces to look apologetic and I genuine believe that they're sorry. Anyway, after I remembered what I was meant to be doing, I began to ask ponies where the places are. When ever I ask one pony to find where one place is, I move to somewhere else and ask to any other pony. Trying not to arouse suspicion or look weird, you know. However, every pony I seem to ask was a noticeable background pony. Bon Bon told me where Rarity's boutique is and even point to me where the spa was. Vinyl Scratch tells me where to find Sweet Apple Acres. When I was realizing the pattern and try to avoid of background ponies, I happened to walked into Derpy. Since she was there, I ask where Sugar Cube Corner was. She points to me one direction, but Dr Whooves suddenly shows up and show me that it was the opposite direction. After all of that woo-ha, I quickly found Sugar Cube Corner. Admittingly, seeing this bakery made me feel a bit nervous. And want to know something else? When I took a peak inside, I actually saw Pinkie Pie, at the counter, serving costumers. Once I saw her, I legged it out and praying that she didn't saw me. I had just only got there. I was not ready to talk to Pinkie Pie. With her, anything could happen. Most likely, when she spots, she would recognize that she don't recognize me and would throw a party on the spot. Hay, it's Sugar Cube Corner. It's her home. Anything can happen. After I run far enough away, I look back and see no pink pony was after me. Then I remember that this is Pinkie Pie so I waited a minute to see that she would jump out at me. When she fortunately didn't and finally relaxed, I notice all of the ponies around me was looking at me. I composed myself and told everyone: "It's ok folks. Everything is alright" and then they leave. Whew. I didn't run too far from Sugar Cube'. I was still in the general vicinity but I think I was far enough away so she would spot me. But then again, this is Pinkie we're talking about. I went to a nearby café so hide and I sit at an outside table and away from any windows from where Pinkie could spot me. It was there that I devise a game plan. Now that I know where some of the Mane 6 are, I need to figure out what I got to say to them. As I was pondering, a kind waitress went up to me and ask me if I have an order. I said no but I thanked her anyway. I can't exactly talk to Pinkie, can I? She would go off and talk to fast for me to plea my case and would often go and talk about a party. That doesn't it would be a bad idea to talk to her. She is very kind and would most likely help me. It just that she lack control. Maybe if I'm either sure enough in what I'm gunna say or if it's my last resort. There is always Applejack, the most level headed and down to earth compare to the main cast. All I have to is go to her farm, act like I'm scared and confused and say that I need help. Once I say that I need some magical help and something about other worlds, she would most likely point me towards Twilight. But then again, I could do that with any other Mane 6. But I think that trick could work best on Applejack. Once I was sorted and I figured out my game plan, I got up from my chair and get ready to leave. However, as I was leaving, I recognizable voice shouted out at me. Actually, it was more like a shriek. "AHHH! WHAT IS THAT THING YOUR ARE WEARING?" The scream sounded like what a female horror character would make when she was about to die and oh god, did it made my ears hurt. When I turned towards the source, still ringing in my ear, I saw Rarity giving a horrified expression at me. Feeling like that I was supposed to say a line, I ask: "Do you mean me?" "Of course I mean you!" she replied loudly. "Do you see any pony else wearing such a rag that defiantly clashes with his colours. And seriously, why would you wear such a... repugnant thing?" I look at the rag I was wearing. She's right: it smells, dirty and doesn't suit me current colours. I know Rarity was insulting it and not me... so why do I feel like the one she's insulting? "I'm sorry miss. But this is the only thing I have." Rarity and everyone around us gasped. As I look around to see the audience we made, they gave me pity expression everywhere I look. No doubt that they think I'm some sort of homeless pony. When I look at Rarity, I saw a fiery determination in her eyes. "No anymore" she proclaims as she tug me with her magic. When I spotted that her horn turned blue (or whatever colour that her magic has), I feel my whole torso being pulled. As she turned around and began dragging me around town, she told me: "Come along. I run the town's fashion boutique. I have some outfits that you can wear." As I would about to object, I realize something: This is my chance. She is Rarity, the element of generosity. I can ask her to help me get back home. And as an added bonus, I wouldn't have to wear this rag. .As soon as my feet started moving, I was no longer being dragged by her magic. When Rarity realize what happened, I run up beside and actually got ahead of her. However, I realized that I was running while Rarity was fast trotting. I was coming off as too eager. I didn't want to look suspicious so I slow down and was moving along side her. As I was fearing that Rarity might notice something was odd about me, she just giggled. She was most likely thinking that I was eager to get out of my rag. As I was more relaxed, we made our way to Rarity's shop. We made it there with no problem at all. As I enter, I was taken back by everything inside. Witnessing all the mirrors, drapes and pony mannequins. It was fancy, high class and... girly. Rarity entered and says: "Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic, unique, and magnifique." "Um yeah" was all that I replied as I was looking around the shop. "Um... Are you sure you have clothes for me?" "Why Of Course, Darling! What make you say that?" "Well it just that..." I look around to help illustrate. The girly decoration aside, all of the clothes that she had out were dresses or outfits which were suited for girls. "I don't see any outfits for guys... I mean for cults. Yeah, outfits for cults." I fortunately corrected myself before I could arouse any suspicion. Rarity might have notice what she said, but she shock it off so she most likely understand what she said. She reassuringly replied: "Don't worry. I made clothes for everyone of my clients. I can make an outfit for you in no time." Hearing that actually made me happy. As Rarity brought a smile on my face, she got closer to me and began using her magic. "Now lets take that off you and lets find you a proper outfit". She was using her magic to take my rag off me. Fearing that she would see my cutie mark, jumped back and away from her magic. As she look surprise, I felt a little bit embarrass. I explain: "Sorry... I am wearing this for a reason." "Oh, sorry. I do apologize. All I was trying to do was..." reply Rarity who felt ashamed because she might done something that might offended me. "It's ok. I understand. Just... I do hope you have some clothes for me." I reply, hoping that I would get her hope's up. Fortunately, it did. She then reply: "Oh! right, how rude of me? Come this way and I'm sure we can find an outfit for you." She grabbed a quill, paper and took me to one of the mirrors so we could begin discussing what sort of clothes I would want to wear. Rarity first asked me if I would want a blazer. That made me remember the times where I would have to wear a blazer for school. As far as I remember, I was sure that I didn't looked good in a blazer. But looking at myself in the mirror, as a pony, I begrudgingly admit that it would look dashing on me. Black over a white coat. However, it would only be suitable for special occasions, like fancy parties. It took me a moment for me argue the lack of a practicality with the blazer, but she got the point. We both agree with a white coat, blend in well with my white fur. I also had to argue for me to wear pants or jeans, something to hide my cutie mark. She was a bit iffy, even when I says it hides the spot which I want to hide. However, she was sold when I say that I might look good with blue pants. She quickly got the clothes for me. Apparently, she already made them for hand. I got the clothes and made my way to one of the dressing rooms. Once I was in, I took off the rag and chuck it outside. Rarity was pleased as I hear her disposing it. Now getting the clothes was proving to be a bit of a challenge. With this new body and no fingers, it was really hard to pull the pants up. Rarity try to help, but I refuse every time she asks. Even pointing out that a lady shouldn't come in when a man is changing" and she quickly understands. As I was changing, I remembered something else that I didn't like about my new pony body: no wings. I thought if I would ever have a pony avatar in my world (with the possibilities being between "never" and "ever"), I would want it to be an alicorn. I don't believe alicorns were gods or super powerful. But I like it because it was something I never heard or thought of before. Combining a unicorn with a pegasus. Genius! But hay, I should be grateful for being a unicorn and not being a pegasus or an earth-pony. Once I finally got the pants on, I left the dressing room with my snazzy new clothes. When Rarity saw me, she was instantly star struck with my new appearance. I look into one of the nearby mirrors and I would have to agree, I look pretty good. I look like a member of a boy band. If it's a good or bad thing I left up to you: the reader. "Do you think I look good?" I ask, wanting to hear a response from Rarity. "Oh you look marvellous darling. And I do say, those pants do add to your image." I feel like I should thank her. However, I haven't forgotten that I must pretend that I know nothing about her. "Thanks miss. I'm very..." "Think nothing of it. And call me Rarity." "Thank you Rarity. And like I said I'm very grateful." But then, I sort of realize something. "Um... I don't know if I can have this." "Why not?" Rarity asked, easily concerned. "I don't have any money to pay for this" I explained. "Really!" she asked, sounding surprised. "Yep! I'm dirt poor" I stated nonchalantly. Seeing Rarity's face made laugh in the inside but also really guilty. She does appear that she's very concerned for me. What she next was both expected from her, being the element of generosity and all, but still surprising. "Well... you can have it. Free of charge" "Really!" "Of course. I can't have you going back to that rag now. Can we?" She must really hate that rag. "I mean... Wow! Thank you." I could ask her now. I could say where I come from and she could now lead me straight to Twilight. But call me an idiot, but I don't feel like asking her just yet. She have been so kind to me. Giving me good looking clothes and free of charge no less. I don't want to feel like I'm using her. It is like "honour before reason", it's smarter and more sensible to do it, but I would just feel terrible after wards. If I see her again, then I would be more likely to ask her. "Well... I best be going now. I still need to find some... pony to help me." "What! Really!" Rarity shouted, easily and accidently getting her concerned. "Is something the matter?" "Oh no, it's ok. I can find help on my own" I reply, trying my best to leave the shop. "Are you sure? I know a couple of ponies who can easily help you." I froze as I was just about to touch the door. Obviously she means Twilight and the Mane 6, ponies that I desperately want to see. But I'm the biggest idiot in the world because I don't want any more of her help. "No, it's ok. Maybe I can find them on my own." And honestly, that wouldn't be hard to do. I mean I know what they look like and know where they live so it technically is not a lie. "Well... ok then. But you do have a place to stay while your in Ponyvile, I presume?" Oh My God! She just won't stop. "No, it's ok... Wait! What do you mean by that?" "Well... you said that you don't have any money and all. I just..." "Don't worry. I'll be ok. I can find a place on my own" I reply as I began leaving again. "Ok... just..." she said before I shut the door behind me. As I was walking away from rarity's boutique, I couldn't help but feel like that I just did something rude. I may want to get out of here as fast as possible, but I know that this doesn't mean that I should be an asshole about it. However, as I was walking, I just realized something. I got no money, I got no place to stay and she was about to offer me one. I'm the biggest idiot in the universe. > Entry 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So where am I at now? Trapped in another world where I don't particularly like. Have nowhere to stay for the night and I only got my clothes for free is because a mare pitied me. AND to top it of, I miss out my first chance to ask for help to get back home only because I wanted to be a dumbass and don't want to be a bother to the first kind pony I met. Honestly, my kind nature had led me to some stupid sh*t before. One time, I gave some money to a beggar, but found out later that he spend that money on booze. Another time, I cheated on a test because I forgot to study. I felt so guilty, I confess to the teacher that I cheated right afterwards. And because of that, I failed the test. Sometime, I know being good can sometimes be dumb. But I know that you shouldn't stop being nice or do good thing and I sometimes fell good while doing it. When I left Rarity's boutique and walking around Ponyvile a second time, I notice that ponies still look at me because of the clothes that I'm wearing. But while before it's because they were wondering why I was wearing a disgusting rag, now they are left utter star struck by how fancy and cool by new clothes are. If I remember correctly, not a lot of towns and cities in Equestria wears a lot of clothes. The only exception that I can think of is Canterlot, the place where the rich, super famous and nobles live, and I think these ponies think I'm one of them. I heard some ponies that I walk pass either mistake me for either a member of a music group or a son of a rich family. I even remembering noticing a group of mares that was taken by my appearance. But when they remember that they saw me in a rag early that morning, they were left utterly confused. I pay them no mind and carry on walking. I decided to go and have a look at Twilight's castle's front door step. Once I finally found it, I was a bit surprise by how big it is. It's definitely bigger then it appeared in the show. I found another café nearby and went there to sit and think. I ask a waitress if common ponies can go in and out of the castle or if it's reserve to very special ponies, wondering if I really need the help of the rest of the Mane 6 to get in. Apparently I do. While common ponies do come into Twilight's castle when the doors open to the public, they are only allowed on the ground floor. Important ponies like the Mane 6 or other princesses and dignitaries are allow the 2nd floor and up, where Twilight is. I thanked the waitress and refuse to be served because I got no money. I was left to think and to revaluate my game plan. More specifically, what will I do once I'm inside the castle and see princess Twilight and wondering what I'm gunna say to her. I don't think I'm gunna say: "Hi! I'm from a different universe that is no way parallel from this world and I want you to send me back home." Then again, it actually might work. It's short, to the point and I'm fairly certain that they will understand it. All I have to do is to make it sound natural. My next big challenge is with Twilight sending me to the Equestria Girl's world. I'm sure that once I tell everyone that I'm human, Twilight would instantly assume I am from there. I would have to convince them that I'm not from there, but how? The only clear difference I can give to them is that in my world, all of them are characters from a TV show. I can't say my world doesn't have magic because something magical must have taken me here. I could say that the names of the places are different then my world, but that has at least two problems. The first is that I don't know if the EQG universe has the same places as my own. I don't know if Canterlot High is in a country called America or Equestria? The second is that even if I have the some time to find out there, I might be too late and they closed the portal. Heck, they could close the portal behind me the second I step through. No, they wouldn't do that. They would make sure if I'm safe before they close it. I would have to think long and hard to figure out this problem. And long and hard I thought. Before I knew it, hours went by as I calculate and predict what would going to happen. Thinking of the similarities between my world and Equestria Girls world and what would be the potential differences. Think about what I gonna say and how they might respond. I thought about everything, except for one thing that went over my mind. "Excuse me sir..." the waitress politely ask and I was taken out of my concentrated thought. When I realize what was going on, I notice that no one else was at the café except for the staff who was closing. In fact, I realize that no pony was around, period. The sun was setting and the sky was bright red. Just how long was I thinking for. When I turned back to the waitress who snapped me out, she told: "Sir, Luna will be bringing up the moon soon. I think it's best to head home now." "Oh What! Sorry. I mean... thank you. I mean..." I replied, stumbling around to give the right response. She just laugh it off and says it's ok. When I got up and stretch, I realize that I forgot about something important: where am I gunna stay for the night? As the waitress was about to pack the last few dishes or cutlery away, I stop her and ask: "Excuse me, but do you know any inns or hotels where I can stay for the night?" Fortunately, Ponyvile did have an inn and the waitress knows where it is. She was kind enough to point me where it is and it wasn't too difficult to find my way there. When I finally found it though, it had already gotten dark. How did I know it was an inn? Because of a sign outside that said inn. Although, it was hard to see because how dark it was. But as I was about to enter, I remember something: I got no money again. I would doubt that they would give me a room just for free. At least, on their own. Although I didn't want to, I would have to guilt them into giving me a room. Play to their good nature and say that they shouldn't leave a pony homeless at night. I really don't want to, but I don't really have got a choice if I don't want stay out in the freezing cold wind. When I got in, I discover that it was very dim. The lobby wasn't even that big, just about the size of my apartments living room. I look down the corridor on my left and saw all the room down it. The place was early silent too, help give off the creepy mood. In fact, I couldn't find any body at the counter at first. When I went over and wing the bell, I call out: "Is anybody was here?" Then, I heard a load thud from under the counter. Took me by surprise. A green pegasus got out from under there and rubbing her banged head. "Sorry. Oooh..." the pony says as she was getting over her self inflicted injury. "Welcome to the Madam Almond's inn, the best rest stop in Ponyvile." "What were you doing under there?" "What!" "What were you doing under there?" I ask again. The counter pony sheepishly admitted: "I was... reading. Reading until a pony arrive" I look over the counter and I did indeed see a book under there. However, I could also see a pillow leaning against the wall and a blanket. I think she did more then just reading. "Is that..." "ANYWAY, ARE YOU STATING FOR THE NIGHT!?!" the counter pony asked so load and fast to distract me. Despite I was curious if she was really reading or just sleeping on the job. However, I chose to forget about it because I wasn't really bothered by it. "Um... yeah. I would like to stay for the night, but..." "Oh that's good" she said before I could say that I don't have any money. "Lucky for you, we have a few rooms free for tonight. 20 bits for a regular, 50 if want to stay in one of the premium rooms." "No! What I'm trying to say... Wait! Premium rooms?" "Yeah... Fancier living conditions, comfier beds, better service. In fact, my manager cares more for premium room's guests then she does for regular guests." "Really" I responded. I didn't say, but her manager sounds like a stuck-up *itch. However, I shuck it off and remind myself what I have to say. "Anyway... I have tell you that I don't have any money to actually pay for a room." "WHAT!" she pegasus yelled so loud, it might have woken one of the guests. We waited for a moment to see if a guest had actually woken up, but all we heard was a snore and a cough. She turned around and tells me: "I'm sorry. I can't give you a room if you don't have any money to pay for it." I hate myself, but this was the moment to actually start begging. "Oh come on. Don't make a pony stay out at night with no where to go." The pony at the counter was growing nervous, but wasn't enough to let me stay. "Please! I would even work to get a room." Seeing how conflicted she looked tear me up inside, but I must maintain the impression that I'm desperate. This went on until she replied: "Ok... but you have to be quiet" "Oh Thank You!" I unintentionally yelled in relief. "SHHH! you have to be quiet" she whispered while reminded me to be silent. She pulled out a key and says "Take the door the second from the end and if you don't want to get spotted in the morning, leave around 4 in the morning." I nodded eagerly and was about to be given the key. However, as she was about to properly pass it to me, an unfortunate voice rang out. "Emerald! What do you think you're doing?" The both of us look out from behind the desk, towards the "Staff only" door. There, we saw the manager; a big, fat crimson unicorn that look similarly to Cherry Jubilee. Except, she looked cold hearted. "You aren't giving a room for free, are we?" she asked as she walk up towards the counter. "Madam Almond!" the green pony yelled in surprise, which I guess that I should call her Emerald now. In fact, her fur does have an emerald shade to it. In fact, her cutie mark is a green gem that is emerald cut. "No" Emerald replied trying to lie for me. She told her boss: "He did pay... and I just giving him his key." "Then how come I don't see any money" she retorted, pointing out that there wasn't any money on the counter. We both was about to give our excuses, but she cut us of and told us: "Save It! I don't want to hear any excuses." "Please Almond!" cried Emerald, who is surprisingly still trying to help me. "You don't really care about the guests for the regular rooms. Why not let him take one of them for the night?" "Emerald! We are not a charity. We are a business" Almond coldly stated. She then move up to the counter, stared down her employee and told me: "I'm sorry sir. Unless you're willing to pay, you can't stay here." "OH COME ON! I LITTERALLY Have No Money! You aren't gunna..." "Oh really?" she reply, cutting me off from my full argument. She looked down my appearance, silently pointing out my fancy clothes. They didn't exactly say that I am a penniless, homeless pony which doesn't help my case. However, that didn't stop me. "I'm Serious! I got no money, got no home and I got nowhere to stay tonight. You aren't seriously gunna let a pony sleep in the gutter tonight, will ya?" And unfortunately, nothing I just said penetrate her heart... if she even has one. She said: "I'm sorry, but we're aren't a homeless shelter" and then walk off. But before she leave, she gave a glare at Emerald to intimidate so she won't do anything behind her back. As she was shaking her fat ass at me as she was going back towards the door, an expected rage boil inside me. She would let a guy sleep in the streets just because he could give her money. I know that you should always be the better person, but I say that she deserves it. "WELL LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU GET THAT STICK OUT OF YOUR ASS, AND ONLY THEN THAT I MIGHT SPIT IN YOUR STUPID ROOMS!" In one moment, Almond froze and the kind receptionist gasped. The next moment, I flue out of the door and landed on my face. I thrown out of places before, but being thrown by magic hurts a lot more. When I manage to pick myself up, I look back and see the *itch who threw me out by the door. I could also see Emerald, but I could only a little bit of her and she look either worried, frighten or surprised. Probably all three. And that was last thing that I saw of here because her boss slammed the door. I was left cold and alone on the street, with no roof over my head and nothing relaxing to sleep on. As I look around and see the street lights that brighten up everything around, I had to accept that I can't sleep on a bed tonight. I got up and went to find the next best comfortable thing. As I was walking, I notice that Ponyvile looks alright at night. I thought that sleeping out won't be so bad... until a cold wind blew right through me and I began shivering to the bone. As I found the park, I instantly thought of that homeless guy who appeared in the first season of Korra. I remember he said something about living in a bush. I went out and find the bushes bush that I can find and when I thought that I found one, I jumped right in. Unfortunately, it stings like hell. There weren't any thorns or anything really sharp, but all of the branches and twigs made it completely unbearable. As I slowly crawl out of the bush, I felt like that I have been lied too. I found a park's bench and it looks reasonably comfortable. When I got on and lay on top of it, I found it wasn't that bad. I got a bush or all the leafs that I mange to stick together and use it as a blanket. It wasn't perfect, but it did became less cold then I were before. As I begin to rest, I felt somewhat comfortable with the "bed" that I made and expected to feel terrible by morning. As I drift into slumber, a faint sound was bringing me back. I was faint at first and I thought it was just in my head. But eventually, it got load enough for me to got off my back and see what was going on. When I look out towards one of the park's exits, the sound got load enough for me to make out what it is. It was a girls voice calling out for something. At first, I could only make out "...gel". However, I it turns out that they were yelling: "Angel!". I wondered why anybody or any-pony would be calling out for an angel? And then, I found out why. I saw the "little Angel" running into the park. That blasting rabbit which all of the bronies seem to hate. I personally don't have anything against that rabbit, but that probably because that I don't really care enough for the show. Angel looked like he was running from something, but he didn't look worried or all that frighten. He looks like he was having fun. And then, I found out why. The voice that was calling out before was in fact Fluttershy who was calling out for her (mischievous) pet rabbit. For some reason, Angel slipped away at night and Fluttershy is trying to get him back. I wondered why he would do something like that, until I concluded: he's Angel. He probably got board, want to see what they town was like at night decided to skip curfew. However, this gave me a good opportunity. If I returned Angel back, to Fluttershy, then I could convince her to let me stay at her place. I know that would be underhanded and deceiving her, but I did not want to sleep on a park's bench for the night. As Angel was about to run past me, I got into his path and he slammed against my feet. As he pealed himself off my leg and was probably thinking: "What the hell, man!?!", I took him by surprise and says to him: "I'll give you a whole bag of carrots if you let me take you back to Fluttershy." Angel was taken off guard by the question. As he was surprised, we both heard his owner calling out to him. "Angel! Angel! Where Are You Angel!? Are You At The PARK!? Did You Just Wanted To Go To The Park!?" Angel was weighing his options, wondering to just keep running or go back to Fluttershy in promise of carrots. As he was considering his choices, I leaned down and whispered into his ears: "A WHOLE bag of carrots, just for you." As the words entered his brain, Angel nodded. Fluttershy then suddenly ran into the scene, frantically looking for her rabbit. However, when she arrived, the first thing she saw was angel sitting on my hoof and I was holding him up. "Is this you "angel" ma'am?" I smugly asked. "Angel!" was the only thing that she cried out as she rushes towards. She snatches Angel from my hoof before I could say anything. She got him into a tight hug as she rock him side to side. I could see Angel's expression and he did not look happy as Fluttershy was crying over him. "I'm glad to see you're safe.." she said. And then she hold him away from her and sternly told him: "... But you have been a vary bad bunny. When we get back home, you won't have any fancy salads for a while." Feeling pity for the little guy, I at least try to help and says: "Oh come on. He just wanted to see what the park was like at night". She initially jumped when she heard my voice. But when she finally notices me, she turned around and says: "OH Sorry! I didn't notice you there. Thank you for holding onto Angle until I arrived." As she said that, she put Angel on her back, so she wouldn't have to stand on her hind legs any longer. "Oh no problem. He wasn't all that bad. Isn't that right, Angel?". I subtly winked at him, reminding him of our deal. However, all that seems to was making looked confused. As he looked perplexed, I feared that he might be thinking: "how does he know what I'm like and does he already knows my owner's name?". Before I let him to think about it a moment longer, I pretend to cough and say: "So Anyway!... You better have a tighter security so he won't escape again in the future." "Oh don't worry. He won't run away again. Isn't that right, Angel?" She looked at Angel when she said that. But then, sort of half expected, Fluttershy looked up and asked me: "But why are you out here at night?" "Oh you know... seeing what the park looked like at night" I replied, trying my best to not look at the leaf covered bench behind me. However, Fluttershy did noticed the bench and walked past me before I could say anything. She looked at the bench, puzzled as to why would a pony would cover it in leafs. When she looked at me, I couldn't stand her suspicious yet innocent stare and admitted: "OK! I'm sleeping in the park." Fluttershy gasped, almost like that she thought that I wouldn't done it. Embarrassed, I quickly gave her my excuse: "Ok! When I got here, I didn't really have a place to stay. And when I tried the inn, the manager was a total..." I stopped myself when I realized what I was about to say. "...I mean, I just didn't really have any money." "Oh My!" Fluttershy replied. "And... you don't have a friend's house you can stay at?" "Well... I did sort of made one new friend while I'm here. But I don't want to be a bother to them." "But... Um... Wouldn't they worry if they know that your not ok?" "Yeah... But I only just me them. You wouldn't let a guy you just met into your house. Right?" "True..." she said, begrudgingly. But then she said: "But if I know that they are my friend and they wouldn't do anything bad to me, then I would let them." "But how would you know that?" I asked, slightly lost control of my voice for a second" For a moment, I waited for her answer. I thought I had convinced her and took her silence as her answer, but she looked like deep in thought. It looked like that she has an answer, but trying to figure out the right words to say it. Eventually, with enough patients, she replied: "Well... If they were really want to be my friend, then they would do something nice to me to show to me that they're kind. Like how you helped me get Angel back." At first, I was infuriated by her answer. Just because they did something kind to you, doesn't mean that they have kind intentions. They could be deceiving you and left once they were done with her, assuming that they really were "kind". but then, I realize that I was doing that. I helped her not because I wanted to be kind, but with the prepose of staying her place. Heck, I'm essentially doing the same thing with the rest of the Mane 6. Convincing them to take me home and I wouldn't care afterwards. At that moments, I felt like a *ick. "No... I didn't do because I was nice." "What!" Fluttershy reacted, becoming surprised. "I only caught your rabbit for ya because I was hoping you would let me stay at your place for the night." As I turn away from her and hang my head in depression, I told her: "I'm not nice. I was just being greedy." As I was thinking about walking away, Fluttershy stopped me and said something that caught be by surprise. "No! You really are nice" she argued. "I looked back with eyes wide open and replied: "What!" "You might not have the perfect intentions when you caught Angel for me, but it was still a nice thing to do. And you were kind enough, and brave enough, to tell me what your intentions were." As I was taken back by her sweet word, Fluttershy then told me: "If you asked, I'll be happy to let you stay at my place for tonight." You know, I didn't really care enough for Fluttershy and I couldn't understand why some many bronies likes her. I have always seen her as the gullible sweetheart that have a phobia for everything except for when the writers wanted her to be brave. But as I was speaking to her now, I was moved by her kindness and how generous she was. She didn't got onto my favourite list, but she did made me like her now. After Fluttershy got me away from my depressing jackass realization, I kindly told her: "Thank you very much... but I think I must politely decline that offer." As she was shocked by my reply, I told her: "Its really nice that you offered me your home, but you made want to see if I can still take up my offer from my friend that I mentioned." Fluttershy surprisingly understand that. "That's ok" she replied. "And if things don't turn out, you can still stay at my place." After she said that, Fluttershy then turns away and began taking Angel home. I called out: "Wait! If things don't worked out, how can I find out where you live?" After saying that, she then suddenly remembers that she didn't told me her address. Angel faced palmed and I sort of got a kick out of that. She came back quickly to give me her address and even points to me her general direction. When I asked how long she will be staying up, she replied for quite a bit because she still have to reed her nocturnal animals. Before she left, I made sure to catch her name. I know that I already know it, but it would be less suspicious this way. We both left the park but in two different directions. Now finding Rarity's boutique again was proven a challenge. Even though I'm in a different land and suppose to remember my way around, but I just couldn't for the life of me find it again. I could blame it on not enough light, but I couldn't recognize anything. I don't know how because I got the directions this morning. OH WAIT! I can't remember the any directions that I got this morning. OH CRAP! ... But anyway, I manage to find it in the end. How? By stupid, dumb luck. And fortunately, the lights were still so Rarity must still be awake. As I sighed in relief, I saw one of the lights went out which ruined my relaxing mood. Before anymore lights went, I ran as fast as I can to the door. However, I forgot that I haven't yet become accustomed to on walking on four leg so I tripped and fell... onto the front door. Even though it was a really painful way and I swear that my horn would fall off, but it did save me from knocking. As I was picking myself off from the ground, I heard footsteps slowly coming from the other side of the door. Rarity was apparently very hesitant about opening it, considering it's night time and she heard a load bang at her front door. When I saw her peaking out of the diamond shape window on the door, I loudly pleaded: "Do You Still Have That Spare Room?" Rarity opened the door and have a smug look on her face. Honestly, I wanted rip that smile off her face, but I have to look embarrass for asking. As she was about to show me inside, I notice a large dent in her door. I must have been made when I slammed into the door. Before she could even notice, I rushed right inside and slammed the door. As she was wondering what just happened, I could do nothing but smile awkwardly. > Entry 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had went through the worst day of my life. Not only did I got sent to a TV world from a show that I don't like, but I also had to become a lonely beggar. Everything was given to me because of pity and sympathy and never really earned anything. I also haven't eaten anything all day so I pretty much starving. I went through days where I haven't eaten anything before so it isn't as bad, but my stomach is growling like a lion. However, I made it through which is obviously the worst part. Not only did I found a place to stay, but I'm also on good terms with 2 out of the Mane 6. Rarity offered to cook something for me, but I turned it down. I check what food that she had first, but there was nothing there that I like or can even eat. Their version of crisps was grass in a bag so I'm not eating that any time soon. But too remedy my hunger, I did drank a milk jug full of water. It didn't completely kill my hunger, but at least I will sleep better tonight. As Rarity was showing me up the stairs, I felt so grateful to her that I felt that I hate to say: "Thank you very much Rarity. I didn't had much luck on find a bed on my own." "It's no problem, dearie. I am just glad that your ok. "Um... Please Don't call me dearie. It just feels really weird if you call me that." "Oh! My apologizes." "Whenever I hear the word dearie, it's usually from a girlfriend or a wife." "Oh!... I see" After that awkward conversation, we didn't said anything else for the rest of the way. Well... except that after we finally made it upstairs, we ran into a very tired Sweetie Belle. "Rarity..." she cried out as she was ripping her tired eyes. "Do you know what time it is? When will you be going to be... bed". However, when she finally look up, she didn't expected to see more then one pony. When she saw me, she was too shy to say anything. Admittingly, I was too nervous to say anything to her as well. I silently wave to her and she nervously waved back, but that did not help one bit. "Sweetie Belle! What are doing out of bed?" asked Rarity to her little sister "I woke when I heard a load noise" she explains. I must have woken her up when I crashed into the door earlier. "Sorry" I guiltily apologized. When she realized that it was me, she just stares at me. When Rarity notice that her sister was looking at me as if she was confused, she began explaining the situation to her. "Sweetie... This pony will be stay here for the night. Is that ok?" "Yeah" she replied. "I have no problem with that." As she said that, it felt like that she wasn't really shy when she said it. "Well... make your back to bed. You don't have to be worried about anything" Rarity told Sweetie. As we walk past her, I look at behind me to see if she was still ok. But when turn to see her, I found that she was looking back. When I saw her, I just have a bad feeling that she was thinking of something. "That my sister Sweetie Belle" Rarity told me when she notice that I was looking at her sister. "She can be a handful, but she's lovely," I already knew that, but I still replied: "Ok." I know that she was a Cutie Mark Crusader along with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. However, when she said that she was a handful, it made me a bit worried. Eventually, we finally arrived to the spare room. Rarity hadn't turned on the light so it hard to anything. However, it wasn't hard for me to nice the large bed in the room and once I saw it, I rocketed towards it. When I jumped onto it, I became UNBELIEVABELY RELAXED! I didn't had a good sleep on the day I got sent her. Heck, this bed that I'm lying on is way better then my bed back home. "I believe I can say that you like the room?" Rarity smugly enquire. "Don't ask me that question. You know that I like it" I replied as the words was muffled which she found funny. "Ok, but can I ask instead to why you changed you mind?" After I rolled my head to my side so she could hear me clearly, I replied: "Oh... A pony with pink hair and a rabbit helped convince." "Pink hair and a rabbit..." Rarity thought out load as I intentionally caused the gears in her head to move. "That pony would happen to be Fluttershy?" I sat up and pretend that I was surprise. "Oh! You know Fluttershy!?" "Of course. She's one of my friends. Trying to be sort of funny and without even thinking, I told her: "Hu... Small world." But when I said "small world", I realize that something: I haven't convince any of them to help yet. I keep on running into them, but I haven't even tried convincing them. I'm more concerned about getting settled until I go back home, but I haven't even begun on working on my plan. I could ask Rarity in the morning, but I can't let anything distract me. However, when I though of saying: "I'm from another world and I need you to get me back there", I just felt discourage to ask. I feel like the question is to too clunky and too embarrass to say. But when I though of being subtle, making them start the conversation that would led to me asking them, I realize that I can't. I don't know how to be subtle. I was trying to be smart all day, but I came up with no idea to get around this issue. I feels like that I would have to shout the question despite how awkward it would be. "Hay... Are you ok?" Rarity asked with concern. When she snapped me out of my deep thought and see how worried she was looking, I realize that I wasn't looking all that happy. "There something on mind... isn't there?" "Yeah......... I was just thinking on my current predicament." I replied on instinct. "I see... it must be hard being penniless" she replied, thinking it might help me some way. But then, I just had a "eureka moment." I'm poor... because I came from another world against my will. This is a topic which I can subtly steer conversation into. "I wish I could relate to..." says Rarity, trying to say that want to relate to me. However, I accidently cut her off. "Yeah, but I wouldn't be so poor if my money wasn't taken from." Rarity became surprised (more like utterly horrified) when she heard me say that. "Wait! Were You ROBBED!?" she asked loudly. "No No No!" I replied, trying to calm her down. "... but I would be a more believable reason." At that moment, Rarity became confused. At that moment, she became intrigued. At that moment, I have her in the palm of hand (if had hands). When she look at me under complete puzzlement, to string her along further, I reclusively ask her: "Would you believe me if told you something?" "I wouldn't know if know I you not gunna tell me" she replied hesitantly. I act like that I was reluctant to say it, pretending to be that one guy who is hard to trust people because he's on an alien world. But underneath this exterior, I was completely ecstatic. I was about to say the words that I wanted to say all day but was either reluctant or didn't know how to say it. And despite me saying that she wouldn't believe me, I know for a fact that she would. Nonchalantly, I told her: "I am from another world." When she became surprised, I further told her: "I'm not really a pony, I'm a human being. I use to have hands... WITH FINGURES! I have friends, family and I job that I like going to. But now... I'm house with a HORN ON MY HEAD and trapped in this really weird world. No offense. I use have all these great movies and games. I was meant to be meeting up with my friends over drinks but I sent here against my will. I... I must sound crazy." Admittingly, I might have gone over board there. When I look at Rarity, she was completely baffled. She was still processing everything. Still frozen by the revelation, I looked down, pretending to be depress. Eventually she asked: "Did you say... you're from a world with hands?" "You don't believe, do ya?" I replied smugly, but for a completely different reason. "No! I believe" she replied strongly. "Really!" "I do... I really Do" Rarity replied as she sat down beside me. I should have expected that she might do that, but I didn't. "I have a friend who actually been to another world. In fact, she might have gone to your world." "She did!" I replied, pretending to be surprised. "Who is she?" "Princess Twilight." "Princess... Twilight. Wait! Princess!" "You really are from another world." "Hang on... your "friend" is a princess?" I ask disbelievingly, which she just cheerfully nod. "And your sure she would help me?" "Of course. She would be happy to help you." At that moment, just felt so happy and relaxed but not like how I jumped on the bed. No only was one burden was finally lifted from me, but I have finally accomplish something. I even notice that Rarity had a smile on her face too, probably because she was seeing me happy. This might have been the happiest moment since I got here. But then, I didn't know how to explain it, but I felt like that someone was watching. Confused but running with the feeling, I look towards the door way and I saw a silhouette of a tiny pony. "Sweetie Belle?" I said out loud. And apparently, she was watching as I could hear her went: "Eep!" Realizing that her sister was spying, Rarity yelled out: "Sweetie Belle! Is That You?" When she yelled out, I could see the shadow running away. Strange. I was reluctant to watch the show, but I never remember Sweetie Belle being nosy. As I was wondering what she was doing, I wonder what she might have seen. But then I realize: I'm on a bed with a girl and we were sharing happy smiles. If anybody see us now, they would began thinking this would lead somewhere... somewhere that's very porny. And it didn't take long for Rarity to figure it out too. Rarity jump off the bed and say: "Well then. I guess I got to show my little sister bed." "You go do that" I told her as she was walking towards the door. "Well... Good night" she says as she was slowly close the door. But as she was about to close it, she open it again to state: "Oh pardon me. I apologize, but I realize that I don't know your name." I was prepared for this question and I already decided what I gunna say. In the show, EVERY character has a really weird name. If I use my real name, I believe that I would get some really weird eyes at me. Admittingly, I would expected to give earlier, especially before I would tell ponies that I was from another world. However, I still told Rarity: "You can call me Hate." "Hate!" Rarity relied as she became surprised. "That's... doesn't sound like a really nice name." "Yeah... but I still like it. I even think it sounds cool." "I you say so" she replied and sounds like that she disagree. Rarity then says: "well... good night" as she finally shuts the door. When the door was finally closed, complete darkness filled the room without a speck of light to be seen. I couldn't even see my hooves that was in front of my face. But at least the day was finally over. Not wanting to sleep with my clothes on, I tried to take them off before going to sleep. Surprisingly, the trousers was really easy to take off. The hard one was the jacket because I hate to hold down the sleeve to get it of. When I had to put them on, it was the other way around. Eventually, I finally got all my clothes off but I was dreading when I have to do it again. I put them right next to the bed just in case I have to put them on in an emergency. When I finally got under the blanket, I felt how cool and relaxing it is. So much so, I fell asleep with in moments. And that concludes the first day of being in Equestria. > Bonus Log 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What was my favourite subject in school? Lets see... Um... I remembered that I was really good in math and everyone thought that I did really great, but it wasn't all that interesting to me. It was just numbers, you know. Science... not that much. I know that science is really important, knowing how the whole world works, but not all of it was useful to me in the end. I think my favourite subject would be history. Learning how just one person could have a massive impact on a country or even history. I was also fascinated with wars, especially since I got games like Halo, C.O.D and even Valkyria Chronicles. Not only studying up on the strategies that they use, but also learning about war propaganda or how two countries could be at each other's throats and not even firing a bullet. But thee only subject that I wish that I was better at was English. No matter how much I wanted to be good at it, it was my most difficult subject. Not because that I couldn't understand the subjects that they were talking about, far from it. I could build a world and what the inhabitants could be doing in it and I could come up with characters and imagine how their interactions should be. My problem is that I have a lot of trouble with the most important, nay, thee most crucial thing in any given story: the grammar. I grew up... with a disability. Autism to be more precise. I could remember where my house is, but have difficult remembering the names of the streets. Same implies here, I can remember all the character and all the plot points, but I have trouble remembering the correct spelling or what is and isn't proper grammar. It's really annoying to because I can come up with amazing stories but I just have trouble articulating them. For example: One day, during school, my English class was given an assignment from the teacher. We were meant to come up with a story where a son is going to see his father and it has to be 1000+ words. We can come up with anything we want, but has to be about a son meeting his dad. It could be the first time or after a bad argument. They could be happy or angry to see each other. We could even say that the son had a sex change or the dad was dead and the son was at his grave stone. We can do anything, but we still have to meet the requirements and we have two days to do it in. On the day that we were meant to hand it in, the teacher let us have the last 15 minutes of class to do whatever we want before we hand our stories in. And during that time, I was busting my balls off trying to fix any error that I thought saw. My story was about the son who travelled a fantasy world trying to find his father. I was spotting words that I'm fairly certain that they were spelled incorrectly. However, I actually wrote my story in pen so had scribble out the wrong word and write the right word above it. But as I was correcting more word, I could see that my paper was becoming messier and messier. And that was just spelling. I do didn't knew if a sentence was written incorrectly. Most of the time, whenever I try to read what I wrote in my head, I thought that it sounded fine. But when someone else looks at it, I feel embarrassed when they point out the errors that I miss. And in the last five minutes, it took a breather when my hands were cramping up. And as I look around the class, I could see how relaxed the other students were. Some was still looking over their work, but they were a lot less tense then I was. And across the room, I could see the girls texting away on their phones and the guys who chatting with each other. They might not have the best grades in the class, but they still have better writing skills then I have. But then again, there aren't working with a handicap. Eventually, the bell finally rang. Everyone was happy that they don't have to sit around anymore and get to do other stuff that they not meant to do in school. But before the closest guy could even touch the handle, the teacher yelled: "Don't forget to hand in your homework before you leave." One by one, everyone made their little detour to the teacher and dump their stories on her desk. One even knock over a photo which she keeps on her desk. I was the last one to hand my story in because I was still working on it while I walk. I handed it in and follow everyone else out of the door. But as I was going through the door frame, I stopped when the teacher called me back in. "Steven! Can you come back just a minute!?" All I thought was "Oh Crap' when the teacher's words stopped me in my track. I the swung back around and came back into the classroom. When I returned, with much embarrassment and shame, I hesitantly asked: "Is there something wrong?" Even the teacher gave a sigh of depression so even she didn't like that she have to do this. "Steven... I know your trying, but you are not meeting the requirements of the class." "What!?" I replied in much surprised and irritation. "But I have been meeting the requirements. I had the boy meeting his father and it's like over 5000 words." She argued: "I know Steven, but you just made too many spelling errors for me to pass you." Slowly getting upset, I argued back: "But I... I have been looking over my work and fixing any mistake that I made. Trust Me, I Have! All she replied to me was a disappointing look. She know that I have been trying, but knows that it wasn't good enough. She then flick open my cover and began marking my work in front of me. She got out some highlighter pens and began acting like Microsoft Word: covering my spelling errors in red and any in-pronunciation greenish-yellow. She was spotting all the mistakes that I made and a lot of them were ones that I didn't notice. She even highlighted the ones that I did try to fix but still came out wrong anyway. As she was about to highlight one word, I yelled to her: "Now Wait! I KNOW That I Spelled That Word Correctly!" However, the teacher counter argued: "Yes, but that wasn't the right word to be used in this sentence." The slapped myself in embarrassment. highlighter completely covered my paper and it becomes a test to spot where it wasn't covered in any ink. Eventually, I yelled out: "OK! I Get It!" I pulled up a chair and began explaining: "Look, I know my grammar isn't all that great. But trust me when I say that I'm great at coming up with stories and concepts." She replied: "That is all well and good, but how could anybody appreciate your stories if they can't understand them?" After I groaned in irritation, she calmly says to me: "Look, I know how much you love writing, but I think you can do better at somewhere else. I heard that you also like acting. Why don't you transfer to the drama class?" I hate to admit it, but she was sort of right. I do like acting and I can really get into a role. I was even tempted to buy a camera and make videos on the internet. But then again, I get into my roles because I was really invested in the story and I wanted to write investing stories. I pleaded: "Look, I know it's really hard for me, but I promise that I will try harder . I am dead serious on trying to pass this class." She looked disbelieving but I don't blame her. I've said those some words before and I failed every time. I would say that I was getting better, but I not a noticeable difference. But after much debating in her head however, she replied: "Fine. I'm giving you one more chance to get your act around." My heart and spirit was lifted when I heard those words. I didn't knew how hard I would have to work, but I was determined to get to the end of the course, even if I might fail at the end. But then, the teacher added: "However, because you are having so much trouble with your grammar, I am going to assign to you one of the best students in the class to be your tutor. He is going to help you to get better so must do everything that he says." I was a bit miffed at that. Actually, I was really miffed. Through out my life, I was given a little teaching aids to help me with my studies which was much appreciated. However, I am older and I don't need one holding my hand anymore. But despite how much I want to be independent, I know that I'm in no position to be issuing demands. I swallowed my pride and replied: "*Sigh* Fine... But I would like to know who?" The teacher replied: "I'm thinking...... Jake Bradbury?" I wouldn't knew it at the time (and honestly, who would), but he was going to be one of the few people who I would still meet after I left school. We don't share all the same interests, but he was more the willing to try the same stuff that I like. He was honestly a nice guy. However, there was one thing that I didn't knew about him at first. Something that completely changed my opinion on the guy once I found out what it was. And unfortunately, he was part of the main driving force that got me to where I am today. He was a brony. > Entry 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I usually get woken up by an annoying alarm clock in the morning, buzzing into my ear until I shut it up. But I often hit the snooze button to get 10 more minutes of sleep. Even though my alarm clock was gone, something similar still happened. Out in the fresh morning air, a family of birds was chirping away in a tree that was out side my room. They were so loud, they pulled my away my slumber. However, with the warm sun sunlight hitting me along with a comfy bed and blanket, I just had to have a few more minutes of rest. However, I still get rudely woken up when I felt my legs being stabbed by a series of needles. "OW!" I yelled when I shot up from my bed. When I look around in anger to see who stabbed me, I spotted a big, white, fluffy cat who was just as un-happy as I was. It first, I wondered: "Wait a minute, I no longer have cat? I have to gave mine away to my family when I got my own place." But when I looked around the room and recognized the cat, I soon remembered where I am... and what I now become. In fact, I found that I forgotten most what I did yesterday and almost go into a panic. I was lucky that I remembered to breath deeply and avoid that situation. I then spotted my clothes that were by the bed and need to quickly put them on before anybody could see me. After a struggle to put them on, the only things that were left in the room was the fancy décor, a messy bed and the cat. I remembered my mother yelling me to always keep the bed tidy, especially if it's somebody else's. After I fix it up though, Opalescence then made the bed her's and I honestly found that a little bit annoying. Afterwards, I made my way downstairs and try to find the kitchen. Once I found it, I also saw Rarity who was also cooking something. When she spotted me, she greeted me and says: "Good morning. Did you sleep well?" "Yeah, well... it was really good. Until your cat woke me up." "Oh! Sorry about Opalescence dear. She can sometimes be a handful, but she's still really sweet." Honestly, I don't care how much she would compliment it, but I still hate that damn cat. I can understand why most bronies hate Angel because he more then often acts like an asshole, but I prefer him then Opal. Why? Because while both of them act ungrateful to their owners, Angel had more instances where he was more kind and helpful. Opal is just a spoiled cat. "Yeah, well... whatever." I replied. But then I asked "Hey! What are you cooking?" Rarity replied: "Oh! I'm just cooking pancakes for all of us." "Wait!? All of us? Even me?" "Of course! I'm assuming that you must be hungry. Am I right?" Before I could have a chance to deny that, my stomach began growling like a cat. When I got caught, Rarity looked away from the pancakes for a second to gave me a smirk. I begrudgingly replied: "Yeah! Yeah! I'm hungry." But when I pulled out a chair, I told her: "But I often have my breakfast with buttered toast." She unfortunately replied: "Sorry. We are out of bread. I hope you like pancakes though." I groaned and made sure not to be load enough for Rarity to hear it. I had pancakes before and had enough for me to think they are ok, but I much preferred buttered toast as my usual breakfast. However, I replied: "Um... ok, I'll have them." But once I sat down on my seat, an angelic little voice rang out from behind me and from the doorway. "*Yawn* Good morning Rarity" greeted Sweetie Belle who was entering the kitchen. When I turned around to see who it was, we both froze when we saw one another. We just gave unexpected and surprised looks at each other. I think Sweetie was slowly remembering me from last night, but she still shoot a blank and surprised look at me. It was getting a bit creepy. All I could do was hesitantly replied "Good morning" back at her. And when she just waved in return, it made the scene even more awkward. Eventually, Sweetie began walking up to the table. At first, I thought I was sitting in her seat. But she took the chair beside me. When she sat down, she says to me: "Hello... My name is Sweetie Belle." "Hi... Um... *Awkward Sigh* My name is Hate." "Hate!?" "*Sigh* Yes, I know my name doesn't sound all that great." "No, No, No. I wasn't about to say anything." "It's alright. Lets... Lets not talk about it." We both shut up for a bit as we were like having a contest to see who can make this scene the most awkward. And if that was the case, Sweetie took the cake when she asked: "So... Do you have something to do with my sister?" I became completely red when she asked me that question. I replied: "WHAT! No! I mean... yes. Sort of. Your sister is just helping me with something important. Wh... Why do you ask?" But then, as fate want to be an even more dick to me, Rarity yelled out: "Breakfast Is Ready!" and began levitating the pancakes. How is fate being a dick to me? Because when she turned around, she reveals that she was wearing a gem-encrusted apron. She then gave to me my pancakes and pour to me a glass of juice with a smile. I am starting to see this scene and all of the unfortunate implications. Trying to dispel any misconceptions, I asked loudly at Rarity: "Rarity! Why are you wearing that!" When she replied that I mean her apron, she replied: "Oh This! It's nothing special. Just something I made for my new fashion line." I wondered what it's called? "House Wife Chic?" When I looked at Sweetie Belle, she just looks away from us. She probably thinks there is still something going on between us. When Rarity looked away as she was taking off her apron, I whispered into Sweetie's ear: "There is NOTHING going on between us. We are just friends." "OK" she replied but she probably didn't believe me. Once Rarity sat down with the rest of us, we all began having our breakfast... sort of. I was a little hesitant at first because I didn't know how to pick up a knife and fork with HOOVES. When looked at the girls and see how they are eating, I saw that they were using their magic to eat their pancakes, even Sweetie Belle. I was left stumped on how I can eat this food. When Sweetie spotted me not eating, she asked: "Are you ok?" This even caught the attention of Rarity and so both of them were looking at my direction. Their gazes left me embarrassed as I was trying to quickly come up with a solution to fix this situation. But then, I was thinking how am I gunna use my hooves, a realization dawned on me. "I'm a horse so how does the horses in the show eat their food?" So, I dipped my head down and just took a bit with my teeth. When I stick my head back up and the pancake was still hanging from my mouth, I just pulled it into my mouth and just chew it. It wasn't all that hard and was quite effective. Rarity looked quite impressed to how I ate, considering that she knows that I'm not use to being a pony. However, Sweetie Belle was left confused by how I was eating. She asked: "Um... Why are you not using your horn?" "What!?" "You know, with your magic." I quickly lied: "Oh! Um...I don't really need to use my magic. Why even bother using magic where you and other ponies can eat things without it." Sweetie belle took my lie and looks like that she agreed with my statement. In fact, maybe a bit too much in fact. After she brought into my lie, she began eating her pancakes without the use of her magic. Afterwards, all three of began enjoying our meal. Once we all finished out pancakes, the only thing we had left was the juice. However, juice is the one thing that I am not going to have. As she was in the middle of having her drink, I passed Sweetie Belle mine and told her: "Here. You can have it." Sweetie looked surprised and then happy that she was getting another drink. Rarity on the other hand looked more worried then surprised. "Are you not going to have it?" Rarity asked. I got up from my seat and replied: "Sorry, but I don't really like juice." Still wanting me to have a drink, Rarity told me: "Well, there are other drinks in the fridge if you want something else instead." Curious, I made my way to fridge to see what's inside. When I opened the door, I found an assortment of fruit and veg', chocolate, ice cream, lemonade, apple cider tucked away in the top corner and milk. Still haven't gotten over from choosing milk, I see how much milk they had left. There wasn't a lot in the carton, but it still smells fresh and was still really cold. But as was about to take a sip, I felt like the milk carton was being pulled away from me and there was no one else touching it. When I spotted the magical aura around the milk, I turned around to see Rarity who was using her magic and didn't look too happy. "Don't Drink It Right Out Of The Carton!" Rarity yelled. She then grabbed an empty glass with her magic and pour the milk into that. She then handed me it and just told me: "Here!" After Rarity calmed down and I got over her intimidation, I finally had a sip of that milk... and it was great. And once I found out it was great, I began savouring all the delicious taste in my mouth. I don't often say this to anybody, but milk is my favourite drink. Once I was finished and places my empty glass in the empty sink, I told Rarity: "Thank you... and sorry." She replied: "Just don't let me catch you doing it again." She then says to me as she checked a nearby clock: "And I do think it is the best time to meet up with the others, not unless you don't want your problem to be fixed." "Oh right! I really don't want that" I replied. As me and Rarity was leaving the kitchen, Rarity told Sweetie Belle who was still at the table: "We'll be going out Sweetie Belle. If you decide to go out and have fun with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, remember to lock up." "Yeah, I know" replied Sweetie acts like she was annoyed by hearing those words. Maybe Rarity told her enough times for her to be tired of it. But after we left the kitchen, I stick my head back into the room to tell her: "Don't worry. I know what it's like." Sweetie then replied to me with a smile before I had to catch up to Rarity. After we left the boutique and began making our way to Princess Twilight, I could help but to look back and try to see if I can spot Sweetie in the windows. I didn't, but I did turn around and tell Rarity: "You have a good kid." "Thank you" she replied before we happily travel to Twilight's castle. As we were walking through Ponyvile, I began noticing that it feels sort of different. Yesterday, it felt overwhelmed by the peaceful and harmonic nature of the setting and it's citizens. Today, I don't feel as strong as a fib as I did yesterday. It was almost as I was getting use to it. It felt like the longer that I stay in this world, less eager I am that I want to leave. That frightens me to my very core with my only solace being that it still feels funny walking on four legs. When Rarity noticed that I wasn't feeling ok, she try to look a me with a worried look. However, I silently reaffirmed myself and began walking slightly faster. I guess Rarity detected how much I wanted to return home and also picked up the pace. Eventually we arrived on the castle's door step. I looked up and see how intimidatingly high the door was. And yet, Rarity doesn't look all that bothered by it. I know that this was her town and she must have gotten use to it, but I feel that she should feel a little bit uncomfortable by it. "Here we are" she happily proclaims. I know who Twilight Sparkle is and how likely she would help me, but I need something to help reassure me and makes me a bit more comfortable. And so, I have to pretend that I am a little sceptical about this. "Here! This is where your friends lives?" "Yep." "And she is a princess?" "Yep." "And you're sure she would help me?" "Of course darling. Twilight would never turn away a helpless pony without at least giving a helpful start." "Yeah... but I'm not really a pony, remember?" "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to..." "That's alright. I was messing with you." She replied: "Oh!" before going into a charming chuckle. But then, while she was laughing, the doors just suddenly opened. Rarity didn't look all to surprised while I was caught off guard. The door didn't looked to heavy enough to be opened by just ourselves, but we didn't lift a finger... or hoof. No one was on the other side and I find it hard to imagined a castle made out of crystal that came from a magical box would include automatic doors or something. I hesitantly asked: "How did that just opened?" Rarity stopped chuckling and says to me: "The doors just opened by themselves." I replied: "Ok... But don't you need some sort of build in mechanism? Like a pressure pad or gears or something?" Rarity gave me a confused look because she probably didn't knew what I was on about. But she just loughs it off and says to me: "Oh... everything here is done by magic. The castle just knows where there are guests at the door and opens it for them." The way that Rarity described it to me made it sounds like the castle was alive. That made it felt a little bit creepy when we entered the castle. It also didn't help when the door shut behind me. When Rarity saw my frighten appearance, she made a grin that made me want to slap it way. I calmed down and said to her: "I've Seen Doors Opening And Closing By Themselves Before!... just not by magic." Rarity just shook her head and began guiding me deeper into the castle. As we were walking, I took my chance to see what the castle looked on the inside. I will admit that the castle sticks out like a sour when compared to the other buildings in Ponyvile. One the inside... I would have to say that it looks nice. The floor is clean, the drapes or whatever is hanging on the walls looks ok and the colours isn't that half bad as they blend together. But then, as we were walking down a hallway, a loud voice yelled out to greet us and sounds like it was coming in front of us. However, I found it more surprising because I recognized the voice and the voice was talking to Rarity specifically. "Good Morning Rarity" says the voice that sounded so cheerful and excited. The voice sounded male, but it was more like it was from a small child. "What um... What brings you here today?" As I was about to remember who the voice came from, Rarity quickly replied: "Good morning Spike. I got a guest here who needs might need some help from Twilight." "Guest!" Spike responded surprisingly. At first, I couldn't see where Spike was at. However, I was standing right behind Rarity so she must be obstructing my view from him. When I look around her, I could see a very surprised looking Spike. He was looking at me with a daze, almost as if he didn't expected. I was also left speechless as it was the first time seeing him in person. We looked at each and didn't know what to think about each other. That is until interrupting us staring to ask Spike: "Where is Twilight by the way?" Snapping back to reality, Spike replied to the pony he has a crush on: "Oh! Um... Twilight should be in the map chamber." "Alright then" she replied before moving along down the hallway. Me and Spike continued looking at each other in confusion until Rarity yelled at us: "Are you coming along boys?" "Coming!" we replied in unison and was surprised when he did. We both eventually cached up to Rarity. While me and Spike was walking behind Rarity down the hall, I saw Spike giving me suspicious looks. It was almost as if he thinks I was trying to take Rarity's affection away from him. I thinking in my head: "Oh great. I have one person thinking I'm with Rarity. I can't have another who thinks that." I figured that I need to relieve some tension between me and Spike. Right now, I am finding him the most relatable. Not only because he is the first male person that I met, but I also remember the episode where everyone like to pick on him for being a little bit girls. And honestly......... I know how that is like. However, I know what are the right button to push to get him into a good. "So... You're a dragon, right?" "What" Spike responded when I caught him off guard. When he realized what I said, he began acting like he was cool and replied: "Yeah, I'm a dragon alright. What of it?" "Really!... Like the ones that can breath fire?" "Yeah. I can also can send messages with my fire." "Cool... I never heard a dragon doing that before." What I said brought a smile on Spike's face and I could not feel any tension or agitation from him anymore. For now, we are managing to get along. When we finally entered the chamber with the round table and that map thing at the centre, I was surprised when I see the huge tree roots hanging from the ceiling. I was caught by surprised because I never remember seeing that before. I was like: "When did they put that up there?" I was completely baffled to why it was up there. But then I spotted Twilight who was busy looking at that map. As a pleasant surprise, Rarity yelled: "Good morning Twilight" to her. Twilight was caught by surprised but didn't mind it. Twilight turn around and replied: "Good morning Rarity. What did you..." But then, she spotted me and Twilight said instead: "... And who do we have here?" I felt a little worried because Twilight didn't sound as surprised as she should have been. Rarity was quick to explain: "I found this... pony here yesterday and says he need our help." At first, I was ok with that explanation. But then Rarity added: "And I think this is the person which the map wanted us to find." It took me a second to realized what she said. But when I did, I jump away from Rarity and yelled: "Wait! WHAT!" They were caught by surprise as much as I was to them. As I slowly walk away from them, I was thinking: "How did they knew I was here? Were they the one who brought me? No, they wouldn't do that." But then I remembered the movie Space Jam and thought: "Main characters from a TV show brought someone from the real world to do something." When I think of it like that, I doesn't sound too far fetch. But I try my best to still give them the benefit of the doubt. Once I backed up to the wall, Rarity and Twilight (plus Spike) could see how frighten I was. Twilight whispered something in Rarity's ear. I couldn't hear what it was, but I'm assuming she was wondering why I looked so surprised and frighten. Once Rarity whispered a few things back to Twilight, Twilight try to be as calm as she can be and says to me: "Look... I know this may sound weird, but we would like to show you something." After a few deep breaths to calm myself down, I replied to them: "Yeah, ok. Sorry, I... don't think that you might be..." I stumble because I didn't know what to say. I want to tell them that I know they won't do anything bad. I just didn't know how to put it. However, Twilight made a face that sort of tells me that she knows what I was trying to say. She says to me: "Just come over here." I walked over to them slowly and try to shake off any doubts in my head. They show me the map that shows the rest of Equestria. I was slightly amazed a little bit because I didn't know what looking at a 3D map would be like. But the thing that caught my attention was the Mane 6 cutie marks rotating around the spot that shows Ponyvile. As I became intrigued by that spot, Twilight explains to me: "You see, I am the princess of friendship and my job is to help spread friendship across Equestria. Whenever there is a friendship problem, or a major problem in general, this map shows to me where it is. Yesterday, this map points out to me that there is a problem here in Ponyvile..." As soon as she said that, a spark went off in my head and I yell to her: "Wait... Yesterday!" As the gears began turning in my head, I soon realized what this map was telling them. "...... This Map Detected Me!" Twilight was impressed that I figure it out so quickly. "Yes" she replied. "We think this map wanted us to find you." Still very surprised and still looking at the map, I told them: "Well you are correct because I am not from this world." Twilight became slightly startled when I told her that. When I saw how shocked she looked, I turned to her and says: "Look, let me explain from the beginning." But as I was about to explain everything, the door to the room banged open and Rainbow Dash came flying in. "Well Twilight, we looked all over Ponyvile but we didn't see anything suspicious which the map pointed out." Rainbow told Twilight as she was flying over us. As I look and see what was going on, I also soon spotted Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie who was walking in. And then, when Rainbow spotted me, she landed right beside me and asked: "Hey, who are you?" nonchalantly. "I'm that suspicious thing which the map pointed out" I hesitantly replied. Rainbow jumped into the air and yelled: "What! You Guys Found It Before Me!" Applejack pulled Rainbow Dash from the air and told her: "Calm down Rainbow Dash. Who cares who's the first pony to find him?" "Well I care Applejack" she rebutted. And then, when Fluttershy saw me, she yelled out: "Hey! I Know You!" When I look at Fluttershy, she says: "We met yesterday at the park." I haven't forgotten that and I remembered the things that she said to me. When I she looked so happy seeing me, I simply waved to her. But then Pinkie got in-between us and said out loud: "Hey! I Remember Seeing You Too!" "Wait! You Did!" I replied as I couldn't remember speaking to her. She explains: "yeah, I saw you at Sugar Cube Corner yesterday. When I spotted you though, you decided to run of somewhere." I asked: "Wait. If you saw me, why didn't you come after me?" Pinkie replied: "Well... you seemed like you were busy and I am trying to be a bit more slower when making new friends." I was left speechless by the answer that she gave me. But then I started thinking: "Wait, wouldn't she be suspicious to why I would expect her to come after me? But wait, she was meant to find me because of the map. No wait, she didn't... No... She..." I soon became confused by my own thoughts. I was only snapped out of it when I heard Rainbow Dash talking to Twilight. Rainbow enquired: "So... Have we figured out what the problem is yet?" Twilight replied: "Yeah. He says that he came from another world." Everyone aside from Rarity and Spike became surprised when they heard that. But Rainbow was the first one to suggest: "Wait, do you think he came from the world you been to Twilight?" Rarity was the one who told her: "He said that he had hands in the world he came from." "Cool!" Pinkie yelled happily. "But wait Twilight" AJ interrupted. "You have the only portal that connects to there. How did he get here?" Rarity explains: "I think I remembered he said that he came not by his own volition." "Oh My!" muttered Fluttershy who sounded upset. "I remember yesterday that he didn't look all too happy being here." As the girls was having their conversation about me, I was standing alone in a corner and realizing that I was having a problem. Being filled in a room with girls, girls that I recognize from a TV show, made my heart beating faster and faster. With every beat, I felt that my energy was draining away and notice my breathing becoming a bit irregular. This felt like that times where I was becoming out of breath during P.E and feel my heart pounding in my chest. To help remedy it, I try to get a hold of my breathing and began hitting my chest. As it was slowly working, I was surprised by Pinkie when she appeared right beside me and asked: "Why are you hitting your chest?" While still with a shaking voice, I slowly explains to her slowly: "I am trying to tell my heart to slow down because it is going to fast." At first, Pinkie didn't know what I meant and thought I said something funny. However, Applejack got her attention and told her: "Pinkie, this is probably all too much for him. Let give him time" And then everyone stood there and watch me, waiting for me to get a hold of myself. It was no doubt creepy, but it didn't stop my heart from slowing down. Everybody became glad once they see that I was calmed down. After I composed myself, I told them: "Ok, Let me try to explain everything from the beginning... again. I'm..." > Entry 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My life has not been easy for me, but what happened to me recently has defiantly, without a doubt, takes the cake. After coming home to my apartment after a long day of work, I rewind for a bit before going out and meeting up with my friends. Have some dinner, surf the internet for a bit and discover that I have to write a new fan fiction on a series that I am too embarrassed to admit to watching it. But then I soon got a stress inducing headache that knocks me out. After having a terrible nightmare, I woke up falling from the air, landing on a pile of leaves and discovering I was in a fictional world that I knew. It was one thing if it was in a fictional world that I like such as the worlds of One Piece or Naruto, but It's not. I somehow got teleported to the world of MLP, got turned into a horse and have no way going back home. And top of this level of insanity, I am explaining all of this to the rainbow coloured ponies that are the main characters of My Little Pony. This experience is something which I won't be explaining again any time soon (not unless I pitched it as a joke). I was cautious enough not to reveal to them about the fact that I know them from a cartoon. Not only because I think they would be less then friendly to me, since I know most of their personal life and secrets, but because they were confused enough as it is. As I explained to them what I did before and after I got here to Equestria, no one made a different expression other than utterly confused. Even Pinkie Pie didn't know what to make of this and she's the horse that can make any situation a joke (and not always funny). I think they might still help me if I told them about the show to them, but I want to get home as painless as possible and not shatter their perception of the world. "So then... that's my story" I what I told them when I finish explaining my situation to them. Once all of them discovered what my problem was, Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 were totally lost on where to begin with. Even Rarity who knew my situation before hand, but then again, I haven't told her how I got here (which is something that I like to know myself). I think they weren't confused on what they need to do as that I haven't give them a lot of details. The first thing that Twilight asked me was: "So... You just woke up and found yourself in Equestria?" "And fell from several storey in the sky" I reiterate. Rainbow Dash then whispered to herself: "I bet I could've found you if you were in the air." "Strange?" muttered Twilight as she thought out loud. "You don't remember stepping through a portal?" "No" I replied, feeling like that I repeated what I said for a third time. The next thing that Twilight say got everyone in the room to become a little bit worried. "How is that possible? If it wasn't a portal, then there must have been some powerful magic." As we were focusing harder and harder on this subject, a grim picture was being painted in our minds. It was sounding like some person or pony or some sort of entity dragged me here and wanting me to do something. If that was true, then there is two questions that come to my mind. One, why would they want me here for? And second: If I do get back home, would "they" send me back here again? These were troubling questions and they won't be answered so easily. But as everyone was in their troubling minds, Rainbow Dash yelled out the obvious. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know this sounds really important and all, but don't we already know where he's meant to be?" Once Rainbow declared her point, everyone is starting to think the same thing as she is thinking: use the mirror portal that connects to the Equestria Girl's universe. To everyone else, that might sounds like a good solution. But to me, that is a bad idea because I know the place that it will lead me to won't be my universe. Worst yet, I still have no way to prove it. "We just have to start up the old machine of yours and problem solved." Just before I could have a chance to say anything, Pinkie Pie appeared beside me and yelled into my ears: "Looks Like You Are Going Home After All Hate!" Pinkie was so loud, there was constant ringing in my ears and lost a bit of my balance. With my balance lost, I feel to the ground when Pinkie moved away in horror and yells: "*GASP* Your Going Home! I didn't got the time to get to know you." Rarity and Fluttershy lend me their hoofs so I can pick myself off the floor, but I managed to do it by myself. Things were going too fast for my liking. If I'm not careful enough, I might have another heart attack. The only thing that I thought I could say without sounding suspicious was: "Can I see the thing that you are talking about?" And just like that, the ponies were taking me to where their portal is. Along the way, as they were guiding me, I notice that some of them shot quick glances at me part of the way. I don't think they were suspicious of me or anything. I think they were just checking to see if I am ok. I did well to hide how nervous and tense I was as I was screaming in my head as I was trying to figure out how I can get out of this mess. My biggest problem is not know enough about the Equestrian Girl's human universe and how it was different it is to my own. I don't know if they have a New York City, a London and/or Australia? I can't say: "My world doesn't have a Canterlot High." because I haven't been to every school in my world. However, I was wracking my brain to figure out a clear cut answer to prove everything. I need to calm down and think more simply, trying to take one step at a time until I find the right answer. Eventually, the Mane 6 finally brought me to the room where the portal was. I imagined they would have left it in the castle's library, but apparently I was wrong. There were a couple of bookshelves, but not enough that I remember from the Rainbow Rocks movie. But one thing that I definitely recognize was the large mirror that was hooked up to the machine that Twilight invented. It was right dabbed in the middle of the room, taking up most of the space actually. "Here it is. The portal that can take you home" Rainbow Dash happily explains. "Just don't ask me how it works though. It was meant to be open once every 30 moons or so, but Twilight made a thing that can open and closed it and I always get confused when they try to explain it to me." "Rainbow Dash!" yelled Twilight in frustration. "I tried to explain it to you like ten times. Just was part that you just don't understand?" "Yeah! It's really easy" stated Pinkie. "Twilight use the power from Sunset Shimmer's book that connects to a book in the other universe to jumpstart the mirror. She just put the book on the mana synthesising mantel above the mirror's frame and the mana leads to the conductors and through multimodal reflection sorting it can..." And then Pinkie Pie went into Star Trek territory of explaining things and even Twilight Sparkle was confused about. I switched off my ears until Pinkie was finished. As I stare at the portal mirror, I felt overwhelming urgency. I haven't yet plant the seeds of doubt in their minds yet to make them second guess this plan. It felt like the answer was so simply that I... "Hey, what's wrong Hate?" enquired Applejack who notice that I wasn't looking happy. It felt like the answer so simply that I that I had to stop thinking and say what comes to mind. "It just that...... Um...... Simple?" "What do you mean?" replied Twilight as the Mane 6's attention became centered on me. "I mean... everything is going so fast and easy, it feels like..." I was still trying to find a proper answer, but I soon realized that I said enough. I confused everyone just enough that they were starting going into deep thought. Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight did the classic putting their hand/hoof up close to their face and some was actually bitting their nails. Applejack had a stumped expression on her face as she was looking and into her thought cloud and Rainbow Dash was just scratching her head. But the "thinking face" that I will remember in my sleep was Pinkie Pie's. She just has a blank, smiling expression that you'd assume that she was thinking something, but it was just so scary that it should be in a horror movie. "I don't know what you're talking about" complained Rainbow Dash. "Don't you want to go back to your world. "Now hold on Rainbow Dash" interrupted Applejack. " 'Things are going easy like. A bit too easy." "What!?" Twilight concurred with Applejack and explains: "I think Applejack and Hate it right. I don't think the map would tell us that this is our problem if we could solve it so easily. Usually, the map would guide us to a friendship problem. You don't have problem with your friends, do you Hate?" "No! Of course not" I replied. "I love my friends and I don't think there is anything wrong between us. We talk about stuff we like, go out drinking and we do favours for each other. Yeah, we sometimes fight, but doesn't everybody at one point?" I tried my best not to smile as I had successfully made everyone stumped. They were second guessing, no longer sure on what they need to do. If my mouth curve just a little, then the jig is up. Fortunately, I was either really good hiding at hiding my true expression or everyone was too deep in their own thoughts. To hammer in the last nail, I asked out loud to everyone: "Is this really the portal to my world?" The room was rendered silent. Eventually, Twilight stated: "I think I should go and see if everything goes ok?" "What! Why do you always have to go?" complained Rainbow Dash. "At least take us along this time." "This would only take a minute. Five at most" rebutted Twilight as she levitate Sunset's Shimmer's book onto the mantel. It was actually hidden among the books that was on the bookshelf. It was actually quite brilliant. Once the book was on the magic synthesising stand, the machine behind the mirror kick started and the portal is ready to go through. Me and Twilight stood up against the portal and look into the spiralling space between dimensions. Spinning so much that it certainly gives me a headache. I quickly look behind me and check how the others were doing. While Rainbow Dash was sulking by the side, everyone else were looking tense, unsure how things will turn out. Even I got to admit to myself that I am a little bit scared. I also haven't forgotten that I haven't completely convince them yet. I just hope I can spot the main difference once I am on the other side. However, once I made more one small step into the portal, it suddenly yanks me. Before I knew, I was stumbling around a vortex of colours like I was in a tornado. Thankfully, as I was I being hit with a full case of nausea, the portal finally spits me out onto the other side. But as I was glad the little spiral trip was over and was resting on top of the concrete ground, the portal also spits out Twilight and landed right on top of me. When Twilight saw that I cushioned her fall, she quickly got off of me and apologizes. "Sorry Hate." "No problem" I replied, feeling the experience on what it would be like if I have a broken back. Twilight then helped me off the ground. Even though I didn't asked for it, it was much appreciated. My legs felt like jelly and the blazing sun was getting into my eye. But then, as I block the sun rays with my hand, I discovered... I HAD HANDS! Emotions surging through me as I could not begin to describe how happy I was to have hands again. As I was flexing fingers in front my very eyes, it felt like I got the present which I wanted most for Christmas. I then notice my legs and I only have two again. I thought it would feel weird standing on two feet again, but no. It feels like pulling on your old pyjamas and they as comfy as ever. After spending 24+ hours in a pony's body, I was bursting into tears as I was feeling normal body once again. Thinking I was being overloaded by joy and happiness, Twilight checks to see if I was alright. "Are you all right?" she curiously asks. Noticing on how unmanly I was being, I rip the tears away from my tears and embarrassingly reply: "Yeah... I'm all right." Once I got my emotions in check, I took a second to see everything that was around me. Seeing Canterlot High (in person) for the first time left me reminding myself that it was a school and I shouldn't be at awe by it. One other thing that stands out besides the school and the horse statue was... me. Standing side by side, me and Twilight notice how tall I was compare to her. I wasn't tree size tall compare to her, but it sort of shows off the size difference. But one thing that I thankfully spotted before Twilight could notice was what's on my back. After a quick glance at the reflection of the statue's mirror, I realize that my cutie mark had followed me through the portal. I was wearing a white leather jacket with a giant anti-brony symbol plastered on the back. If Twilight spots that, she will be asking a lot of questions. It was within my best efforts that I have my back facing away of Twilight and could not see what's behind me. And luckily, she didn't suspect a thing. But then, after we had our look, Twilight says to me: "Well Hate... I guess we made it back to your home. Right?" It was then that I thought: "Oh Snap!" The problem of me proving this isn't my world has returned and now was the time for me to give my answer... which I didn't have yet. There was still uncertainty in Twilight's voice, but she was still asking me an important question. Without any clear answer and my head was going into a panic, I could only give vague answers. "I don't know?" I hesitantly replied. "Something... Something..." "Something... ?" "Something... doesn't isn't feels quite right." "What do you mean?" Twilight ask curiously. Stumbling for a right answer, I vaguely reply: "It just that... I... I can't put my finger on it, but something just feels different. You know?" Although I still got Twilight's attention and sympathy, I still wasn't convincing her of anything. She just look at me and was confused on what I mean, but I still couldn't say what the difference it. But then, as I was straining my brain, I began hearing something. And before I knew it, a stream of students appeared from behind the statue and was making their way towards the main building. They all must be heading for school, but if that was the case, I wonder what time it is. Some notice us, but none of them stop to chat. They just look happy when they saw Twilight and was curious about the guy she was with (I.E: me). It gave me a bit of an distraction, but it was also distracting me a little bit. And then, as if the heavens were feeling sorry for me and decided to give me a hint, I overheard couple of girls talking that gave me "Eureka Moment" that I needed. "Hey, what do you think of the outfit that I got for you?" asked one fashionista girl to her friend. "I don't know?" the friend regretfully replies. "I don't think it's right for me." "What! I thought you like outfits made by Hoity Toity?" "I Do! But... It doesn't really matches my skin." "Oh Right! Sorry." Once the girls left, something that they said was stirring up a brain storm within my head. "Skin... Skin... Skin." I was repeating the word: "Skin" over and over again in my head, like it was some kind of mantra. And then it he, I finally discover the difference which can separated this word from mine: the skin colour. In this world, everyone has wacky skin colours which you would see in “Doug”. But in my world, no one’s skin colour is blue, purple or pink. It was such an obvious difference that I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t spotted it earlier. But wait… I could tell the skin is different, but does Twilight can see the same thing as me? Once the last remaining students left us and entered the building, I hesitantly ask Twilight: “Twilight… can you tell me those people’s skin colour?” “What!” Twilight responded. “I want to check to see if you see what I saw. Did you see everyone’s skin colour?” Twilight had no idea on what I was leading to, but she answered as best as I could. “I… I think I saw blue… green… maybe even brown? What are you on about Hate?” Once I heard Twilight’s answer, I completely lost control of myself as I yelled “YES!!!” at the top of my longs. I then pulled in a frighten Twilight and I loudly say to her: “I Finally Discover The Difference!” “What!” Twilight responded in confusion. I realize I was being excited over something that I shouldn’t, but I couldn’t help myself. I explain to her: “In my world, no one’s skin colour is like that. We don’t have pink or green, we only have like two skin colours: white or brown.” Surprised, Twilight asked: “Really!” And even after I nodded, she was still in disbelief. “Really” she asked again with her arms cross. “I’m Serious!” I replied. Twilight looks absolutely stumped. I bet she never heard such a thing existed. But unexpectedly, I heard her thought out loud: “Fascinating.” I don’t know if you would call that fascinating, but it was a clear sign that she had believed me. Depressingly, Twilight enquires: “So… I guess we didn’t make it to your home after all?” It was then that I remembered that I was surprised to be disappointed. I didn’t know what I should say, but I scratch my head and tried to look as sad as I could be. But on the inside, I’m just really, really, REALLY glad that I managed to solve my problem. Now the only problem I have left really is to get back home… my real home.
