> Something happening in the land of Equestria > by Ganonslayer98 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was another lame Saturday, I sat on my ass and did nothing. But that's how things usually are for me, everything here is just so... boring. Nothing ever happens in this town anymore and the only few friends I have are either breaking into peoples houses or getting high. I don't do those things with them but they're the only people my age I could hang out with. But I can say that there was something that made this day a little bit better... My Little Pony... Yeah, I'm a brony, but do I care what people think? Not really, It was one of the few things that made me happy here in this shit hole I call my home. So while I was sitting there, I thought I would watch a little bit of MLP, I laughed and made the little remarks that I do when I watch it. I looked at the time when I did and yawned as I got up. “I think I'll go for a little walk before it gets too late.” I said, heading for the front door. After I opened it I noticed there was some clouds that looked like it might storm. There have been a lot of storms lately here, some of the small creeks have been flooding over with all the rain coming in. But I enjoy it. So I started down the street and over towards the wood like area that's not too far from my house, I guess you could say it was a park or something like that, but mainly it's just for walking or bike riding. I was walking down it a bit when I noticed it started to rain. It was a light rain at first but then it turned into a heavy rain in a matter of seconds. I started to run back from where I was walking, but the rain was making it hard to see. As I was running, I felt... kinda tired and dizzy, I wasn't sure why, maybe it was the heavy rain? Maybe I was scared that it was starting to get dark and the rain would get me lost out here and it was just messing with my head. But after a few minutes I started to feel my body get.. Warm, like I was warped in a a blanket and starting to over heat from it. “God damn what the hell is with this wa-” At that moment, My stomach started to hurt badly, like I was just stabbed. It was followed by a really warm feeling in my head. I had fallen down from the pain and dizziness, holding my stomach I felt everything around me go dark, the rain pouring down on me and that dizzy feeling getting stronger and stronger. This sure was the place for me to pass out at: pouring rain, wood like park area and it was getting dark. What were the odds. I guess I should have stayed home when I saw those clouds. “What is it..?” “I.. don't know I heard a loud boom.. and there it was” I could hear someone- well some people talking, but it was really faint. “Should we wake it to see if it's okay?” “No! It could be evil.” Did... I just hear someone call me evil? What on earth was going on here? Did I get kidnapped and dropped off at some weird ass place?? I had no idea where I was or what was going on, I could barely feel my legs and my head was hurting like crazy. “Shhhh... I think it's waking up..” I slowly begin to open my eyes, starting with my right one I notice that there are people standing over me. But then I opened both my eyes and saw that.. that they were ponies. I let out a gasp as I notice all these ponies around me, I start to freak out slightly from it. In doing so the ponies back way from me, yelling “It's awake!” “Wha-- Where..” I look around to see a blue Pegasus flouting above me, it's mane was rainbow color. “What are you and what are you doing a Ponyville punk!” It was Rainbow Dash. When I first noticed that it was her, the brony side of me wanted to start jumping around like a little school girl, the other... well was somewhat scared because I was some weird thing that popped up in Ponyville. I notice another pony coming from behind Dash but on the ground, it was Applejack. “What in Apples is go-” Apple jack stopped to see Rainbow Dash talking to me, her yelling at me to talk. So.. I finally did. “I... I mean you no harm!” I said, Rainbow Dash looking at me slightly confused. “I... I don't know where I am or how I got here..." As I said that I had gotten up, there was a little bit of somewhat dried blood on my face, guessing that's what my head was hurting. Out of nowhere I here a voice. “Stop, don't touch him!” I turn around to see a purple unicorn run towards us from a tree house. It was Twilight Sparkle. “Twi.. Light..?” I said, still confused on everything and feeling a little dizzy again. Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at each other confused. “You two, know each other?” Applejack said. Before I knew it, I was falling down from the dizziness from the pain in my head. I don't know what happened. But somehow I was in Ponyville... I don't know if I was dreaming... or what... but it felt so real... I guess I'll find out when I wake up... if I do that is... I grunted a little bit, reaching up to rub my head. It seems someone had wrapped it up with some gauze and it felt slightly wet. I guess the the wound on my head was still bleeding a little bit. “You're finally awake!” Said a smiling purple unicorn, I look over to see her standing there, levitating a book with her magic. “Where am I?” I said, grunting slightly from it. “You're in Ponyville sir” When Twilight said that I begin to remember earlier, seeing all the other ponies. “How... how did I get here?” I try to lean up but my head started to get this dizzy feeling, I lay back down and sigh as Twilight looks down at her hooves. “Well” She started to say as she then looked back up at me. “There have been rumors about other ponies using their magic to make some sort of gateway into your world from ours.” she explained. I didn't know what to make of this, I was so confused about all of this I kept thinking this was just some weird ass dream. “Who told you these things?” saying with a sort of curious tone. “Princess Celestia told me about them, she didn't really get into detail about it... But she told me the spells I needed to learn to bring one of you...” She paused and looked up, trying to think. “Humans, I think that's what Celestia said.” “Yes, that's what we're called I guess...” I felt slightly weird hearing Twilight say that. I looked around the area, it was Twilight's library, over by one of the bookshelves was a ladder, on it was Spike, looking for a book. “I found it, Twi!” He said, jumping down from the ladder and running over to the unicorn. “Oh, he's awake?” “He sure is Spike” Twilight said to the baby dragon. I looked down at him, he was a little bigger from what he was in the show, but still retaining that look of a baby dragon. “Hello sir, my name is-” Before he could finish, I said “Spike." The look he made almost made me want to laugh, me saying his name before he could shocked him. “Whoa... Are you psychic?” He looked somewhat amazed now, Twilight looked down at me and giggled. “I... guess you could say that.” I chuckled a little bit. “So cool!” the dragon said. “Alright Spike, thank you for the book, you can go do what you want now.” Twilight said as she looked at me. Spike ran off outside, looking happy as he yelled “Woooooo, free time!” “Alright, so do you have a name?” She smiled, opening up the book. “My name is Tyler” I said, leaning back up slowly this time. My head was still hurting a bit from the injury. I placed my hand on my head and rubbed at it. “I take it your head is still hurting?” I looked at her slightly confused. “Yeah” “I figured, the book the princess gave to me said that when a 'human' gets transported to our world, they undergo a lot of dizziness, it should be fading soon.” I smiled slightly, but then wondering if that was why my head was bleeding. “Is that also why my head has this gash on it?” She tilted her head slightly to the left. “I don't think so, it might have been from something you were doing in your world?” Then it hit me, I remembered I fell in the park when the storm was hitting hard, I guess I landed on a rock. “Welp, it's starting to get dark, you can sleep there for the night if you want. Tomorrow we can go around and meet some of the other ponies.” Twilight said walking over to her room. “Sure... that sounds nice.” Again, the brony side of me was jumping up and down inside me. I was going to meet all the other ponies that I've grown to love in this... kids show. But I guess it's more than just a show. I laid there, thinking and wondering if anyone back at home was worried about me... or better yet even notice I was gone. I could hear Twilight and Spike sleeping up in the other room. I could see the moon out the window. I got up from the couch and walked over to it, I slightly chuckled to myself. “The mare of the moon, Nightmare Moon.” Smiling at the moon. I then started to think about what Twilight told me, about other ponies bringing people from my world. Why were they doing it? Were they wanting to study us? I guess in time I'll find out. Will... I ever go back? I opened my eyes slightly, I guess I had fallen asleep after what I thought about. I looked over to see Pinkie Pie standing there, staring at me with that 'OMG Someone New to PARTY WITH!!!' look. As soon as she saw that my eyes were open, she begin to bounce up and down. “You're awake!!! Let me be the first to Welcome you to Ponyville!” I begin to laugh at the pink pony, she giggled and bounced all over the place all happy like. “Ugh, Pinkie..." said a tired and annoyed baby dragon. It was only bout 6 in the morning but I guess most ponies are up this early to start there day. “Oh Spike, you should be up already cause it's time to party!” Streamers suddenly popped out of nowhere. Twilight giggled loudly as she walked into the room. “Oh Pinkie Pie, that'll have to wait till later, I'm taking Tyler here around to meet some of the other ponies.” I got up from the couch and yawned, smiling. I had never been up to see something like this before in my life, it felt nice to see things like this. “I'm coming with you Twi!” That big smile that Pinkie does at times looked so cute, I almost felt like pulling on her cheeks. Twilight walked over to me, wearing that purple bag of hers. She looked up at me and smiled. “We'll be leaving in 15 minutes.” I nodded and looked around. “Is there anything I could eat before we go? I'm a little hun-” before I could finish, there was s cupcake stuffed into my mouth by, you guessed it, Pinkie Pie. I nommed happily on it, it was by far the best cupcake I've ever eaten. After I finished I thanked Pinkie for that cupcake and smiled. She bounced around with a pleased look on her face which brought a small to my face. "Alright, let's go. First stop is Rarity's place.” Rarity... If she's anything like from the show, this should be a laugh. We started out, I could see all the other ponies just staring at me and whispering about me, I don't think any of them have ever seen a human before and it's gonna be weird. While we were walking a pony had came up to me, she had a blonde mane and tail, gray coat. Then I noticed her eyes, they were a goldish color. But that wasn't the thing I noticed about them, they... weren't looking at the same thing. As in one eye was looking at me and the other... Was looking up. It was Derpy Hooves. I looked down at her and she stared at me with her one eye looking at me. She then stuck her tongue out all silly like and handed me a muffin. I took it from her and said thanks. “No problem!” she said in her derpy voice. She walked off and Twilight and Pinkie giggled. I took a bite out of the muffin, it was a pretty damn good muffin, I smiled happifully as I ate it, we came up to Rarity's house, the door was open and you could hear her humming like she was working on something. “La la laaaa lalala lala! Perfect! Photo Finish well surely love this new dress.” Said a white unicorn, her horn was glowing as she finished putting on the final things on the dress she was working on. “Hey, Rarity” Twilight side with a smile walking in. I followed behind her and Pinkie came bouncing in. “Oh hello darl-” She stopped as her eyes went wide. “What on earth is that!” she pointed her hoove at me in a bit of shock. “Oh Rarity, that isn't very nice, he's the human that came to our world yesterday.” Wow.. she really is a bitch. “Oh, I'm terribly sorry sir... I'm not use to seeing.. Uhm, Humans.” Rarity gave me a nervous smile. “It's fine Miss Rarity” Her cheeks became slightly flushed as I said that. “Oh dear, no need to be such a gentlemen, though I thank you for the generosity.” I bet Spike would have gone ape shit if he heard that. I laughed a little bit from it. “So what brings you all here today?” Rarity said walking over to Twilight. “I'm just taking Tyler here around to meet the others.” Twilight smiled looking up at me and then back to her white unicorn friend. “Oh how lovely. I would tag along but I have a few more dresses I need to work on. I hope we can talk some time.. 'Tyler' was it?” I smiled and nodded. “Sounds like a plan.” She turned around and went back to her work, Twilight, Pinkie and me left her shop and started to head down to the EverFree Forest. Up above us while we were walking through ponyville, was Rainbow Dash, clearing out the clouds in the sky, I was amazed at how fast she was going, a rainbow trailed behind her as she did, it looked beautiful. “Dashie!!” Pinkie yelled out to her Pegasus friend, Rainbow stopped and looked down to see us three standing there... well two of us standing there. Pinkie was bouncing around yet again. Rainbow flew down to us. “Hey, Pinkie, Twi and.. whatever the hoof you are.” She waved her hoof out while looking at me. “Hello Dash, this is Tyler.” Twilight Smiled as she looked up at me and then Rainbow. “Yeah, yeah, listen, sorry about yesterday. I don't take kindly to random things popping out of nowhere. I'm like one of the protectors around here.” She stood on her hind hooves and started to thrust her front ones back and forth like she was punching something. Hearing Rainbow say that in her confident tone made me smile. “Don't worry about it, it's no biggie.” I said as she smiled. “So what are you guys up to?” Rainbow said looking at her friends. “Were taking Tyler to meet the others!” Pinkie said before Twilight could tell her Rainbow haired friend. “Is that so? Applejack and Fluttershy are in the EverFree Forest I think.” Rainbow flapped her wings and floated around. “I'd come with you but I got things to do, we should hang out later tonight if you're up for it.” I smiled at her. “Sure, I'd like that.” Rainbow then zoomed off into the sky to continue her work. Everything seems just like the show... I can't believe this is happening but I'm enjoying it. We headed off to the Forest, it took us maybe 15 minutes to find Applejack and Fluttershy, they were sitting next to a few animals and eating some pie, my take was it was Apple Pie. “Well howdy there sugar cube.” said Applejack, Fluttershy was about to say hi but saw me and became quite. “Hey, AJ and Fluttershy” Twilight said as she walked over to them and sat down. Pinkie pie did then same, taking one of the pies and happifully began to eat it. I sat down next to them and Applejack looked right at me. “Well howdy, partner. Name's Applejack.” She put out her hoof for a hand shake, thought I wasn't sure how that would work since... They don’t have fingers. “It's nice too meet you, my name is Tyler.” I took her hoof in my hand and shook it. “You must be Fluttershy.” I looked over at the yellow Pegasus. “Uhm... Hi there...” She looked down, her ears slightly back. “Fluttershy, there's nothing to be worried about with Tyler.” Pinkie said, pulling back away from the pie. “I-I know..." She looked up at me. I looked down and saw one of the bunnies come up to me, it sat there and tilted it's head before jumping into my lap. Fluttershy was watching the whole time, it was her pet Angel. There was a carrot laying there so I reached over and picked it up. The bunny looked happy. So I let him nibble on it. “He likes you.” Fluttershy said in her soft voice, she smiled as the bunny ate the carrot happifully. After a while Fluttershy started to become less shy around me, we had some laughs here and there, Applejack told us a few stories and what not. It truly was a fun time. I yawned slightly and looked over at Pinkie Pie. “Welp, I think it's time!” the pink pony then jumped up and bounced around. “Time for what Pinkie?” Twilight looked slightly confused at her Pink friend. “It's Time to Party!” Pinkie smiled. “I think our friend Tyler needs a welcome Party!” I laughed, same with the others. “We haven't had a Pinkie Party in a while, I'm up for it.” Applejack applied. “That sounds nice.” Fluttershy said as well, smiling slightly as Angel hopped off my lap and went to her. “I'll go see if Dash want's to join us.” said Fluttershy. “I'll go and see if Rarity can, meet ya'll back at Twi's in a few hours?” “Sure” said Twilight as we got up. “I'll get everything ready!” Pinkie said as she bounced up and down and then headed off. Things seemed to be going well so far for meeting them, everything seemed just like the show itself, everypony was friendly. It felt like something perfect families would have, I had a good childhood when I was younger but when I was getting older, things went from prefect to good and then to bad. Things where I lived were good until my father had gotten laid-off from his job. I had to get a job to try to help out my family, when I turned 18 it felt like it was going nowhere. They were talking about going somewhere since they were getting old and they just wanted to relax. I talked about leaving home to start planning for my own life. Sadly before that happened they died. It was sad for me but I got over it. Found things to keep my mind off them and it worked. But my life wasn't as good as I wished it was. Lived in a bad area and didn't have that many friends. But there was always little things that would make my day, like I've said before that was MLP. And now that I'm here... In the show... well their world, I feel like I did when I was younger. “So, what do you think of our little town Tyler?” Twilight smiled at me as we walked around Ponyville. “It was pretty good Twilight.” I smiled at her, looking around at the other ponies around us. “Pinkie should have everything set up for the party later on.” She said, I sighed a little bit and stopped. “Will.. I be able to go back? To my world I mean.” Twilight stopped and turned to me. “I.. don't really know.. That's one thing I'll be asking the Princess.” She continued on. It's not that I don't want to stay... But what if I want to go back? What if I want to leave here... I guess I'll have to wait and see. A few hours have passed and it was almost time for party. We came up to Twilight's Library. There was some music playing, Right off the bat I knew that type of music, It was 'Dj-Pon3' or as most people call her, Vinyl Scratch. 'Vinyl is best pony' I thought to myself, I laughed a little bit as I did, always hearing people saying that when I would play on my computer. “Twilight!” said a happy bouncy pony. She popped out from the door of the tree house, greeting her purple unicorn friend. I smiled at this. “Hey Pinkie Pie.” she smiled, walking over to the front of her house, I followed behind, the music getting louder. As we walk in, I can see many ponies dancing and having fun. I found myself starting to bob my head a little bit to the music. Some of the ponies saw me and smiled as they waved there hooves at me. “Welcome!” said one pony, then another. It truly was one hell of a welcome I was getting. There was music, food, drinks and ponies. This... This made me think it was all too good to be true. Everything felt so real but I've had dreams like that before... about my parents. I keep getting this feeling that I was going to wake up any moment now. “What do you think, Tyler?” Said a happy pink pony, smiling like she did in the episode when she first got her cutie mark. “It's amazing Pinkie!” I said smiling, I was dancing to the music, it looked kinda weird to see a human in a room full of ponies dancing but no one seemed to care. “That's great!” Pinkie said as she danced with me. After a while, Rainbow Dash and the others came over and started to dance with me, Rarity, Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie pie and Fluttershy. I felt so happy, this was by far the most fun I've had in a while. I didn't want it to end. Two hours have passed, the party had started to die down and some of the ponies had left. Vinyl had stopped playing the music and was getting ready to leave. But before she did I stopped her. “Hey, I just wanted to let you know that your beats are truly the best!” She smiled and slide up her glasses. Her beautiful magenta rose colored eyes made me stand there in awe as she said “Heh, thanks It's always nice to meet a fan.” She turned to the others and said goodnight. “Goodnight, Vinyl!” Pinkie had said before she went back to cleaning up. Applejack and Rainbow Dash had left a little while ago, they had to get up early to work on some things and couldn't stay. I walked over to Pinkie and offered to help her out with the cleaning. She smiled and bounced off the clean another thing. Fluttershy laid in a corner, feeling sleepy and most likely wasn't going to go anywhere till the morning. Twilight smiled at her and brought her a blanket for her. Rarity was still here, helping with the clean up. “Oh dear, why must everypony leave such a mess after a party?” Twilight giggled and I laughed. “It's not that bad, Rarity.” I said, still laughing a bit from her being herself about messes. Bout 30 minutes later, everything was cleaned up. Rarity said her goodnights and left for home, same with Pinkie Pie. I fell right into the couch and yawned, being tired from that party, which was one hell of a party if you ask me. Who would have thought ponies would know how to party, but when it's a Pinkie Party, it's always a blast. And I can say that now since I just partied with her. Twilight came over to me, yawning. Her hair was a little messed up. Her horn was glowing when I looked at her. Slowly a blanket floated over to me. “I thought you could use a new blanket.” She smiled as I took it. “Thanks Twi, thank you for everything.” I looked around and smiled. She smiled as well. “Well, Goodnight Tyler.” she said as she gave me a hug and trotted off. I yawned and laid down, smiling. At that moment, I knew this wasn't a dream. I finally was able to accept that I was in Equestria. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two weeks have passed since I was brought here. Everypony knew who I was and what I was. Every morning when I got up they'd greet me with a warm welcome, just like I was one of them. I didn't really give much thought about earth anymore. That was until a few nights ago. I started to think if anyone missed me or found out I was missing. Because of those thoughts I offten wonder if I'll ever return home. It was around 1 past noon and I was working on Sweet Apple Acres. I've been working there mostly but I've also been doing small things around Ponyville. Applejack thought it would be a good idea to help around there since they have a lot of work that needed to be done. Often Big Macintosh and I would sometimes see who could do what the fastest without messing anything up. Just a little game I guess you could say. “I have you beat this time Big Mac.” I said, leaning against one of the apple trees, out of breathe. “Nope.” “Oh come on, there's no way in hell that you're able to stack as many as I did.” We went on for a few minutes back and forth. He just laughed at me and I would do the same. But in the end we got over it and just said we tied for first. “Well howdy there fellas.” Applejack said as she walked over to us, she was looking around at all the work we've done and smiled. I gotta say, we did a fine damn job at it. “Hey there AJ, how's it hangin?” I say to her, she picks up one of the apples on the ground and starts to eat it. “Oh nothin' much, thought I'd come out here to see what y'all been up to. Seein' as you two have been working hard on the farm an all.” I chuckled a bit and smiled, Macintosh did the same. “Yep.” he said as he started to head back down to the barn. “Oh, by the way Tyler. Twi is lookin' for ya.” I wondered why she needed to see me. Knowing her she might need something from the store or something like that. I yawned a bit as I went into downtown Ponyville, looking around at all the things happening, I heard a noise up in the sky so I looked up. It was the Wonderbolts, they we're flying around, probably patrolling the area. I noticed Rainbow Dash staring in awe at them. Her big rosy eyes glimmering in the sunlight. I chuckled a little bit to myself. “Heh, that silly filly.” I continue to walk to Twilights house. As I was walking I got stopped by one of the ponies, it was a filly and her mother. “Oh I'm so sorry sir, Amber you know not to disturbed other ponie-” She stopped for a second. “Uhm..” She looked down and I just gave her a chuckle. "It's not problem ma'am.” I smiled and leaned down to the filly. “Wooooow.. I've never seen something like you before.. Are you like some magical creature that came into our town to help everyone out??” She smiled that cute little smile and it just made me feel all warm inside. Her mother sighed slightly and was going to say something but I spoke up. “Heh, you could say something like that. I try the best I can to help out everypony here in Ponyville.” The mother smiled at me as the filly stood there in awe. “Come on dear, we have to go.” the filly walked back giggling as her mother looked up to me. “Thank you, She always tells me about her friends talking about you. You're certainly quite popular.” She turned around and walked off. That made me smile. I got up and then head to Twilight's house. I got to Twilights house when I heard a somewhat loud bang inside. I ran to the door and opened it. Inside was a big pile of books. “Uh.. Twi?” I said, looking confused as I didn't see that purple unicorn. A few seconds later, her head popped out from the pile, she looked dizzy as her shook her head. “W-whoopsies” Twilight said, before turning her attention to me and tilting her head at me. “Oh hey there, Tyler. I was just.. Uhm.. “ she said and looked down. “Ugh... I'm such a mess right now. I've been looking for a book that talks about inter-dimensional travel... So far I've came up with nothing...” She sat there in the books all sad. I could tell she was trying her hardest to figure out how to get me back. “Hey, have you asked Princess Celestia?” I said going over to her, pulling so of the books away. “I have... She told me to look at every book I have for something on it... She said she didn't know exactly how to do it... so she has me and a few other ponies trying to find a book about it, seeing as there was only a book about bringing you here” I think I might have to give the Princess a visit sometime. “Applejack told me you needed to talk to me?” as soon as I said that, it was like someone had kicked her in her flank and she jumped out of the books. “Oh! I almost forgot!” She started to levitate books back to the shelf as she continued to talk. “Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are going to Appleoosa to bring them a cider making machine, she would go herself but she's got too much on her hooves right now.” Twilight said, turning to look at me as she continued to put the books back. “I want you to go with them to help them with it, Dash and Fluttershy could probably do it themselves, but I think a extra set of hoov- well, hands would help them.” She smiled and levitated a cupcake over to her. “Sure, I don't think I have anything planned for tomorrow.” I said as I picked up one of the cupcakes and ate it. I helped finish putting the rest of the books away when Spike came in, he was carrying some bags and he sighed. “Man Twilight, it seems like every day I have to go out and get these things.” Twilight chuckled and turned to him, taking the bags. “I know, but I thank you Spike.” “No problem!” He said as he went to the door. “Oh and Twilight, I'll be over at Rarity's, she's showing me how to make a few things that I could wear sometime.” He said with a big grin on his face, silly dragon. “Do you need me to help you with anything?” I said to Twilight as she looked up in thought. “Well, I need to give this list to Pinkie Pie, could you give it to her?” She smiled and floated it over to me. “Sure, I'll take it to her right now.” I turned to go for the door as Twilight said: “Alright, and if you could, bring back some cupcakes!” I laughed and headed out. I've only been to Sugarcube Corner a few times, every time I was in there Pinkie was making cupcakes and all kinds of other things for the ponies here. She'd always have a smile on her face which made everyone happy. I remember that episode when Pinkie Pie's hair became straight and she started to go crazy. I hope I never have to see her that way. While walking to there, Rainbow Dash flew down next to me. “Hey there, Ty” she said with a smile, floating alongside me. “Hey Dashie, how's it goin'?” her cheeks became slightly flushed from me calling her that. “Nothin' much, going to see Pinkie Pie to put in a order, you?” I yawned slightly and took out a list. “Twilight wanted me to give Pinkie this list and get some cupcakes.” Rainbow chuckled. “I see, well we can keep each other company till we get there then.” I smiled at the rainbow haired Pegasus and continued down to Sugarcube Corner. As we walked in, I could noticed things were busy there, I walked over to a chair and sat down, watching Pinkie doing what he does best, besides parties. Rainbow sat next to me and looked over. “So what's on the list?” she said. “Hm... Well I think Twilight is wanting to throw Spike a party soon.” Rainbow tilted her head slightly confused. “Wait, I think Twi said something about that. I think it's for being such a good assistant or something like that.” She waved her hoof in the air. I chuckled and right as I turned to see what Pinkie was doing, she was right in front of me bouncing up and down. “Hey guys!” She smiled happily. “Hey Pinkie Pie.” said Rainbow Dash. “What bring you two here? Are you here from some cupcakes!?!” She said bouncing up and down. “He is, I'm just here to put in a order for a small cake.” Cake sounds pretty good right about now, thinking about it as Rainbow said it. “Sure thing! What about you Tyty?” Tyty...? Never been called that before. “Twilight wanted me to give you this list.” I reached into my pocket and pulled it out. “Oh! That must be for the party I'll be hosting soon!” She took it out of my hand and bounced up and down. “Heh, when will it be?” I asked her, eager to know when I'll be able to party with the pink earth pony. “Not completely sure, but within a few days.” She turned to go back to work, getting ready to make Rainbow's cake. “Welp, I guess I'll be heading bac- Oh Pinkie Pie, I need a box o-” Before I could say what I needed, Pinkie shouted. “On the table!” There was a box filled with cupcakes. I picked it up and said thank you. Also said bye to Dashie. It was still light out when I started back to the library, I thought I would sit down and watch some of the birds fly around and whatnot. “Mind if I sit here?” I looked over to see a light green unicorn standing there. It was Lyra. I shrugged and yawned slightly. “Not at all, Lyra right?” She smiled and nodded. She climbed up and sat down, but she didn't do it as other ponies would, she was sitting like me. I was confused to why she was sitting like that. Usually ponies don't sit that way, I mean I've seen them sit up but not all laid back like humans do. “Is something wrong?” she said, noticing I was staring at her, I blushed slightly when I realized that I was. “Uhm, no nothing is wrong.” I had a pretty bad poker face so she knew I was lying. She chuckled slightly and smiled at me. “Not used to see a pony sit this way?” she said, pretty much knowing what I was thinking. “Not really, no.” She laughed slightly. At first I wasn't able to put two and two together, but it didn't take long for me to wonder. Did she used to be human? Nah, maybe she just wanted to be or better yet she just had that feeling to sit that way. “Some ponies are still confused on to way I sit this way. Always makes me giggle at times.” Lyra said. “I bet it does... So why do you sit that way?” I looked at her curiously. Wondering if she would even tell me anything. “Well, It's kinda a past secret. But, considering that you're a human, I think it'd be alright to tell you.” She giggled softly into her hoof before leaning over. When she said that I being to think. She leaned into me so that if she had said anything, Only I would hear it. She then whispered. “I used to be human.” My mouth just dropped from hearing her say that, she used to be human? How is she a pony if she was human before? How did she get here and when did she get here? So many questions were running through my head. “R-really?” I said in a shocked tone. She nodded and leaned back, smiling at the sky. “Do you want to know what happened?” As if she really needed to ask. I nodded at her. “Well, it started about 5 years ago, I was just walking my dog down the street when I got this dizzy feeling. I wasn't sure what to make of it so I headed back home. When I got there, I fainted and I felt..." She paused for a minute, trying to remember what happened. “...like something was happening to me, mentally. And before I knew it I was waking up in this house. At first I thought I had gotten kidnapped, but then I saw this scientist pony walk up to me and tell everything that was happening. I couldn't believe it first that I was in some kind of tv show. But after a few days it became more clear.” “This must have been weird for you, I mean you didn't even know that much about the show did you?” She shook her head and looked over at me. “I knew some things but not like others did. He studied me a lot, amazed about the human race. He told me he found out about us from some books from years ago and other dimensions and whatnot. He also told me that he wanted to learn how to turn me into a pony.” This was surely getting interesting. “What happened next? Didn't you want to get back to earth?” “Well, It was about 3 months before he started trying to and by that time, I had fallen in love with living in Equestria. I didn't want to go back anymore so I told him I wanted to be a pony.” I sat there, mouth agape. “Was... It worth it?” I said, tilting my head slightly. She looked back up into the sky and sighed slightly before looking at her hooves. “Yes and no. At first it was wonderful, but then everyone saw me differently. I started to wish I had never became a pony, but it was too late.” She sighed slightly. “I went around asking some of the ponies why they were acting this way towards me. No one would really give me a straight answer until...” She paused for a moment. “One of the younger mares told me that they didn't see me as the same person anymore... They liked me as me... not as a pony... I then came here to Ponyville to start a new life among everypony here.” She smiled. “Though, I do miss my hands at times.” She forced a laugh and then looked at me. “So does anyone know about this...?” I felt so weird talking to a pony that use to be human. She gave a small smile and shook her head. “No, I couldn't go through everypony knowing I was human and then feel odd about me...” She leaned up and got off the bench. She turned to me and smiled slightly. “It was nice talking to you, you take care of yourself.” She said as she walked off. I can't imagine what she went through with that... As much as the brony side of me wanted to be a pony, would it be a bad choice? Would I regret it...? I have a feeling this thought isn't going to go away for a while. I sat there for a while, thinking about what Lyra said. I then noticed it was starting to get dark, so I picked up the box of cupcakes and headed for Twilight's house. I guess I zoned out in thought while I was sitting there. I get to Twilight's, I go up to the front door and open it, Twilight is cleaning up a few things, she turns to see me walk in and gives me a slight smile. “Bout' time you go-” She stopped. She could notice there was a look on my face that meant something was wrong. “Is something the matter Tyler?” She said, walking over to me slowly. Again I didn't have a good poker face. “It's nothing Twi.” I said, setting the box down on the table next to me, I then walked over to the couch and sat down, still somewhat deep in thought. Twilight could sense that whatever it was that was on my mind was unsettling me. "Tyler, you know you can talk to me if you ever want to, what's a friend for?" She gently put a hoof on my arm and smiled slightly. As much as I wanted to start telling her what Lyra told me and how I felt about it, I knew if I did, Lyra would be very disappointed that I told somepony. “I know Twi... And I thank you for that but it's just something I need to think about on my own. I don't mean to be rude...” I looked at her, forcing a smile to my face. She nodded and went over to the box of cupcakes. She took one out and brought it over to me. It brought a smile to my face as I took it and started to eat it. “Goodnight Tyler, see you bright and early.” Twi said as she went into her room for the night. “Goodnight Twilight.” I finished the cupcake and laid back, trying to clean my mind of what happened earlier. Slowly I felt my eyes starting to shut as I just stared at the ceiling. And before I knew it I was asleep. “So, we know what we're bringing there right?” Said a voice, I grunted a little bit and turned my head, It was Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy followed behind her, wearing her bag on her back. “I believe so.” Fluttershy said in her soft voice. “Good, this shouldn't take too long then.” Rainbow Dash said before floating over to me. “Wake up Tyler, it's time to get ready” I gave Dash a bit of a dirty look as I opened my eyes. She didn't seem to like it. “Yeah, yeah. Give me a second.” I sighed leaning up. Today was going to be a long day. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack's Cousin lives in Appleloosa, she was going to go there to bring them a cider machine but couldn't find the time to do so, and with cider season coming up, she didn't really have the time to spare. Appleloosa has one if I'm not mistaken but the one that the Apple family had made the best cider in all of Equestria. Twilight had gone to the train station to see us off and hoped we had a fun and safe trip. Before he headed off there, Twilight told me that she had gotten a letter from Celestia saying that she was going to come visit us, she wasn't exactly sure when but it would be rather soon. Meeting Celestia... That should be rather interesting. The train ride would take about two hours to get to Appleloosa, so there was some time to be killed. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were sitting in one of the carts talking about pony stuff. I just sat there staring out the window, thinking about things. “Hey, Tyler why don't you come play a game with us.” Rainbow says, waving her hoof at me. “What type of game?” I say, getting up and walking over to the two pegasi. When I got closer I could see a checkers board on the table. I knew I haven't been here for that long but Fluttershy seemed to like playing this game and was rather good at it from what I heard. “Checkers.” Fluttershy says in a happy sweet tone. “Do you have games like this back where you come from?” I nodded to the yellow Pegasus. “Oh what fun, I don't mean to brag but I am pretty good at this game, wouldn't you say Dash?” Rainbow waved her hoof at the board. “Indeed she is, but I've been able to beat her.” saying in victorious tone. “Yeah, only after I beat you 10 times.” Fluttershy snickered at her friend, Rainbow got slightly annoyed with it. “That's because I let you win!” Rainbow said, I stood there laughing at the two ponies. Fluttershy giggled. Rainbow scooted over for me to sit down, It was time to put on my game face. About 30 minutes have passed and Fluttershy has beaten me twice now, I have to hand it to that pony, she sure as hell can play a mean game of checkers. I was down 7 pieces and she already had a king. But what Fluttershy just leaned into my trap. I sit there and grin as I move my piece, one, two, three, four, five! “King me!” I said, feeling somewhat victorious. Fluttershy smiled and put a piece for on mine. She giggled at it and Rainbow was somewhat surprised that I was able to take out five of her pieces. But just has fast as that happened... She ended up taking 4 of my pieces. “You should have kept an eye on your pieces.” She said in her soft voice, smiling. I looked down, amazed that although she fell into my trap, I fell right into hers. “Burn!” Rainbow Dash said laughing. I chuckled a bit and looked at the board. I only had one piece left and I knew how this was going to end. I looked up at Fluttershy, which was giving me that “You're so fucked” smiled. I laughed at it. “I gotta say, you played one hell of a game.” Smiling I scoot off the sit and yawn slightly. Rainbow got into my spot and looked at her yellow friend. “I'm glad you enjoyed it, now it's time to beat Dashie.” Fluttershy said as she put her game face on. This continued for about an hour, it was 8-2. Dash was a little annoyed with being beaten, which she never took so lightly but she smiled and didn't let it show. We were getting closer to Appleloosa It seemed time went by fast, I guess a simple board game like checkers makes time fly by. “I wish I would've eaten something before we left.” I placed my hand on my stomach and looked around. Both ponies felt the same way. Lucky for us, the place were going is full of apples and I'm sure we'll be able to have some apple pie. We pulled up to the train station, it came to a stop and after a few mintues, we were able to get off the train. Braeburn was standing there waiting for us, Applejack had told him about me being a human so he wouldn't be as freaked out when we first met. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash walked out of the train car first, I followed behind them. “Well, howdy there.” He said, smiling as he greeted the two ponies. He then looked up at me and put a hoof out. “Howdy do there.” I reached down and shook it. Honestly he took it better than I thought. But then again, everypony in Ponyville was pretty friendly with me so, I shouldn't really have expected much of it. “The cider machine is right inside.” Rainbow said, pointing to the car that was behind the one we were in. “Alrighty, let's get that bad boy out and bring her on down to the factory.” Braeburn said as a cart pulled up. Me and Rainbow went to the train car to get ready to move it out of there. It was a heavy thing, but nothing we couldn't handle. “Man, that thing was heavy, but thanks for the help Ty.” Rainbow smiled at me. I wipe the sweat off my forehead. It was pretty heavy but that mixed with the heat made it worse. How do they stand the heat here. I looked at the cart that the cider machine sat on and looked at Braeburn. “So how is the factory from here?” I said to him, feeling my stomach growl slightly. He looked off and pointed with his hoof. “Bout' a few blocks that way. It won't take long. After that we can go chow down on some pie.” Fluttershy and Rainbow both smiled at the mention of pie, and I did the same. We begin to walk down the road, there were ponies here and there. “How things been, Braeburn?” Rainbow asked the tan earth pony. “Pretty darn good, The apples are growin' nicely and thanks to the cider machine that Applejack sent, we'll be able to make some of that great tasting cider.” He smiled, nodding his head at the other ponies that walked by. “That's good, Applejack sure makes the best cider in all of Equestria.” Rainbow said, smiling with the memories from last cider season. Fluttershy nodded in agreement with Rainbow. “Indeed. Welp, here it is.” Braeburn stopped and looked at us as we stopped. He opened the doors to the factory and a few ponies came out. “They'll take care of it for us, let's go on and get us some pie!” We all went down the road to one of the shops, before we got there we could smell the sweet apple pie that was being made there. “Those pies sure do smell good Braeburn.” I said walking into the store with him, Fluttershy and Rainbow followed behind. The shop was kinda small but it was big enough to fit 15 or so ponies, there was a few sitting at tables eating pie and chatting away. Some of them turned to look at me, when they did they started to whisper to one another. “I take it they're not used to seeming a human.” I say, looking around at everyone staring at me, he just gave a little chuckle. “Don't take it to heart, there are rumors that some ponies here have seen a human before.” They have? I wonder if anyone here has bringing people from my world to here. “You're not the strangest thing to come here, that's for sure.” he said, going up to the pony behind the counter and ordering some pies for us. The three of us take a seat over at one of the tables while we wait. Rainbow leans back and rubs her stomach. “I can't wait to dig in, I'm starving!” I chuckled at her, Fluttershy did the same and smiled happily. Braeburn came over with the pies and set them down. “Well, dig in everypony” He smiled as he sat down next to me and Dash and begin to eat some of the pie. I pulled some of the pie over and took a bite of it. It was sure one good ass pie. But of course no pie is better than the Apple family's pie, but this was pretty good. We nommed happily on it for a good 30 minutes, enjoying it. “Wow that was good, thank you very much for it.” I said, patting my belly. Fluttershy giggled and thanked Braeburn as well. “It was truly delicious.” Rainbow said, licking her lips after she did. “Welp, I think it's time for us to head back to Ponyville. It was great seeing you again Braeburn.” “You're welcome Dash, and feel free to come by and visit anytime y'all want to. Hopefully AJ can come next time, sure haven't seen her in a while.” Braeburn said as we got up and left the shop. He walked us back to the train and said his goodbyes. As the train started to take off back to Ponyville, I sat down next to one of the windows and started to think. “There are rumors that some ponies here have seen a human before.” I thought on that, and then I started to think about what Lyra said to me yesterday. I think I should talk to Princess Celestia whenever she comes to visit. Maybe she can give me a straight answer. We got back to Ponyville within two hours, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash went to Applejack's farm to talk to her about the trip and all, I went back to Twilight's place to talk to her. When I got there she was just reading a book, on the front was labeled “How to Make the Most Delicious Foods for Ponies.” I chuckled at it. “Learning how to cook there Twi?” She looked up from her book and giggled. “Kinda, I thought I would try my hoof at it.” she giggled. “So how did it go? Hope no pony there gave you any trouble.” The fact that she was cared enough to ask that made me smile, but then again she's caring to everyone. So what made it so special for me? “Nah, just a few looks but Braeburn said that some ponies there have seen humans before so it's not unheard of.” I said, sitting down on the couch, Twi just tilted her head. “Humans have been to Appleloosa before? Interesting... I wonder where else they've been.” I wondered that too. “Meh, who knows... So this morning you said Celestia is coming to visit you?” I said, looking at her. She nodded and levitated the scroll over to her. “Mhmm, let's see.. 'Dear Twilight Spa'.. 'Things seem to be'.. blah blah.. 'I am coming to visit you and 'Tyler' to see how things are going for him.' Huh, doesn't say when she is. Maybe she'll let us know.” “I see, well at least we know she's coming.” I said, yawning slightly. “Well, I am planning to go to Canterlot next week to see her and go to the Library there. But looks like I'll be able to see her some more now.” She smiled, floating her book over and getting up. Twilight was about to say something else but Pinkie popped in before she could. “Who's ready to PARTY!?!” She said, bouncing all over the place. I laughed at the pink pony, remembering the list that I gave Pinkie yesterday. “I am! I've been waiting for a Pinkie Party.” I said smiling. Twilight walked over to Pinkie and smiled. “I sent Spike out so he won't be here for a while if you want to start setting up.” She said, looking over at me. “You can help Pinkie while I grab something for the party later.” I smiled and nodded. “Of course, shall we Pink-” I saw cut off by Pinkie yelling 'Yay!' I just laughed and begin to start moving things around for the party. Pinkie brought in some things to start setting up. About 20 minutes into setting everything up, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Applejack came in. “Howdy everypony.” Applejack said, looking around at the room seeing me and Pinkie set things up. “Hey AJ, Dash and Flutters!” Pinkie said to her friends. 'Flutters'? Ha, that's an interesting nickname for her. “Hello.” Fluttershy said, walking over to pick something up to help set up. Rainbow did the same. While they were doing it, Rainbow and Fluttershy told Pinkie about their trip, Applejack said that she was glad to give them one of their cider machines. Before we knew it, the whole place was set up and ready. I noticed Twilight hadn't came back and I wondered what she was doing. I went outside and looked around, I looked to the left, didn't see anypony and then to my right. There she was, holding a bag in her mouth. “Oh, there you are.” I said to the purple unicorn. “Sorry I took so long, I didn't think it would take this much time to get this.” She walked into her house and set the bag down on the table. I went inside and asked what it was. Inside was a little plaque that said 'Best Assistant Ever!' Under that was Spike's name. It was sure nice that Twilight was doing this for him. He sure does deserve it. Over the past hour, ponies came for the party, knowing that Spike would be back any minute now, they all turned off the lights and hid. Before we knew it, we could hear Spike outside the door. “Huh, the lights are off, I guess Twilight isn't home.” He opened up the door and walked in. “Hehehe, looks like I got some time to think ab-” Before Spike could finish, the lights flipped on and everypony yelled out 'Surprise!!!!' Spike jumped slightly from it, but then began to laugh. “Oh good one you guys.” He smiled slightly embarrassed. Above everyone was a banner that said “Keep up the good work Spike!” He smiled at seeing this and flushed slightly. Twilight walked up to him, smiling as music started to play. “Hey Spike, I got this for you.” She smiled as she gave him a wrapped up box, Spike looked excited about it and took it. “Thanks Twilight, Really.” He smiled big as she begin to unwrap it, Inside was the plaque. His eyes went big when he read the words 'Best Assistant Ever!' “Oh dear Celestia! Thank you soooo much Twilight!!!” He hugged her tightly and happily. “You're very welcome Spike!” Twilight smiled at him. Pinkie and the others came up to congratulate him. Spike was getting all blushy from the attention he was getting, then he noticed Rarity walking over to him. Spike stared at her, dumbstruck by the love he has for her. “Hello, Spike. Congratulations.” She smiled at him all cute, Spike just stood there and mumbled. The others giggled at it. They thought it was cute how Spike had such a big crush on Rarity. “Oh Spike, I have something for you.” She said. “Close your eyes and no peeking.” He did as he was asked, closing his eyes. He then felt something pretty against his lips. Rarity gave Spike a kiss. “Awwww..” Fluttershy said, the others said the same thing. Spike opened his eyes and saw Rarity, When he did he nearly fainted. Rarity pulled back and smiled at him, giggling slightly into her hoof. Spike shook his head and snapped out of the trance he was in. He looked up at Rarity and hugged her. She hugged him back and smiled. “Thank you R-Rarity!” He said, embarrassed like there was no tomorrow. After that cute little moment, we all begin to party, everypony dancing and having a good time. Spike was enjoying it the most, of course. I went over to grab a cupcake when I saw Lyra walking over. “Hi, Tyler.” She said smiling as she grabbed a cupcake. “Hello there. How are you?” I said grabbing one as well. “I'm doing pretty well, how are things holding up for you?” She nommed on her cupcake. I guess she thought I would be dwelling on what she told me yesterday. I just smiled at her. “Great, Pinkie sure does throw the best parties.” I said, nomming on my cupcake as well. Lyra nodded in agreement with me and we continued to talk. We had a few laughs and started to dance a little bit after words. I was able to stop thinking about everything that's been bothering me and enjoy the party. The party went on for a few hours, it really was great, everyone had left, Spike went to sleep as soon as it was done and I passed out on the couch. Hope nopony drew on my face. Rainbow Dash would probably do something like that wouldn't she? > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What a fun night that was, I can feel myself feeling more and more at home here, though that thought still lingers in my mind about Earth and everything I've been hearing about humans being here. I wonder if there have been any other humans besides Lyra outside of Equestria that has came to this world. Twilight's house was somewhat a mess, though not as much as the last party. Spike had gotten up early to start cleaning, he tried his best to be quiet about it but ended up knocking something over. When he did it woke me up. I didn't know what it was at first so I jumped right out of the couch and looked around. “Hahahahaha. Sorry Tyler, I didn't mean to wake you.” He said looking up at me while picking up what he knocked over. “Don't worry about it Spike. I was wanting to get up anyways.” I looked around as I yawned, rubbing the back of my head. I walked over to where a few books were laying and began to help him clean up. About 20-30 minutes went by and we had the place cleaned up. “Thanks for the help Tyler, Twilight should be gett-” He stopped and then burped out some green fire, then a scroll appeared. I wonder why he would be getting one this early. Twilight yawned as she walked in. “Good morning you two.” She said, looking over at Spike with the scroll. “Did the Princess send that?” “Yeah, I was about to read it.” Spike said, walking over to her. Twilight used her magic and levitated it up. “Wonder what the Princess wants.” She yawned as she unrolled it and began to read it. 'Dear Twilight Sparkle, I have some free time today and I figured I would come by in a few hours to see you. I hope to see you and 'Tyler' when I arrive there. Sincerely, Princess Celestia' “She's coming today!?” She said in a worry. “This place is a mess! We can't have things looking messy for the Princess!!” She darted back into her room, Spike and I just looked at each other and laughed. “What's so funny!?” She said popping her head out. She then noticed that everything was already clean, her cheeks begin to flush. “Whoops... I guess I didn't see that you guys had already cleaned. “It's alright Twi.” I smiled and chuckled. She went back into her room for a few minutes and came back out with her hair straightened. “So, do we need to do anything to get ready for her to come visit, or...?” I said curiously. “Well, since she's just coming to visit us, we won't really have to, but I would like to make her visit here wonderful.” Twilight always likes to make sure everything goes well when she comes to visit, but hey whatever pleases her I guess pleases me. Heh. “What would we need?” Spike said to her, taking out a piece of paper and quill. “Well, be sure to bring the girls here, I'm sure they would like to see her. Let's see... Ask Pinkie Pie to bring some cupcakes and just make sure everything is clean.” She smiled, looking at Spike. “Alrighty, I'll go get Pinkie Pie and Rarity. Tyler, could you go and get the others?” “Sure thing Spike.” I said, heading over towards the door. I doubt we have that much time before Celestia gets here. I'm getting all these questions in my mind that are starting to bother me. I'm not going to be able to ask her all of them sadly. What a beautiful day today is, I was heading to Fluttershy's cottage out at the edge of the Everfree Forest, I had to go get her, Rainbow and Applejack. Rainbow was most likely up in the clouds doing what she does best, and I don't mean sleeping. Applejack is probably getting apples. I came up to her cottage and I could hear Fluttershy giggling inside. I knocked on her door and to my surprise, it was Rainbow Dash. “Oh hey Ty, what's up?” Rainbow looked up at with a smile. “Nothin' much Dash, the Princess is coming to visit it Twilight and she wanted you guys to come over if you wanted to.” I said to her, hearing Fluttershy giggling again. “Sure thing! We'll be there in a little while, What time is she coming?” She said. “Eh, I don't know, pretty soon I think.” Rainbow looked back inside at Fluttershy and told her that Celestia was coming to see Twilight soon. “Oh that sounds wonderful, I've been meaning to ask how Philomeena's been.” Fluttershy smiled walking up to the door. “Let me put Angel to bed and we'll be on our way.” Fluttershy went back to what she was doing and Rainbow closed the door and followed her. Now to go tell Applejack. As I walked down to the Apple farm, I saw Big Macintosh working, he waved a hoof at me and I waved back. Applebloom and Granny Smith were picking apples. “Hey, is Applejack here?” “Nope.” Big Macintosh said. “Ah think she went down to Twilight's house, said she would be gone for a little bit.” Applebloom said. “She said she needed... Er... A book.” Granny Smith said. “Alright, thank you guys.” I started to head back as the three of them waved their hooves. I got back to the house, I see Pinkie talking to Applejack, they wave to me when they see me. I guess it's a good thing Applejack needed a book. Though I wish I would have known before I walked all the way over there. I walk up to the two ponies and Pinkie hands me a cupcake. “You look hungry so here!” She said bouncing up and down. That sure was pretty random, but to be honest... I was kinda hungry. Talk about Pinkie sense. I nommed on it and walked in, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were inside, it made me think when I saw them. 'Wow... Did it take me that long to get from there to AJ's to here?' They had a little place set up for the Princess for when she came. We all stood there, talking about things for a good 20 minutes before anything happened. When it did Pinkie just yelled. “She's here!” Bouncing up and down, outside waiting to greet her. Twilight smiled and hurried on over, the others did the same. I walked outside to see two Royal Guards pulling a chariot with Celestia in the back. I was about to meet her, I had a shit ton of butterflies in my stomach because of this... To be honest I kinda had a little crush on Celestia. As soon as it set down, the guards looked around and then nodded to her, Twilight and the others then bowed down to her, I looked at them and then realized I should do the same and I did. I heard a slight chuckle as I leaded up to see her standing there. “Hello everypony.” Celestia said with a smile, Twilight popped right up and went to her, snuggling up to her leg. Celestia sure was big, she was as tall as I was. Twilight was only up to her legs, I was surprised cause I thought I would be taller than her. “Princess Celestia! It's soo good to see you.” She smiled bigly. “Hello my faithful student. And everyone else.” Celestia smiled down at Twilight and then at everyone else. Then leaned up and greeted her. I went up to her to greet her, I was slightly blushing when I stood in front of her. “Hello... Princess Celestia.” I looked at her, her hair was flowing all magic like as if the wind was blowing, I was kinda intimidated by her at the moment. “Hello, Tyler. It's a pleasure to meet you finally.” She said, smiling. “The pleasure is all mine, Princess.” saying in a somewhat flattering tone. She giggled and smiled again. We all headed inside after the greeting, everyone wanted to ask her something, she looked slightly overwhelmed by it. “Don't worry my little ponies, I'll be able to talk to everyone.” She smiled looking at them. “If I may ask Princess Celestia, if that's okay that is...” Fluttershy said. Celestia gave her a nod and waited to hear her question. “How has Philomeena been since the last time we saw her?” The princess smiled at the question. “She's been doing very well, she's been quite busy lately enjoying the sun and flying around in the garden.” “That's wonderful.” Fluttershy said with a smile. An hour went by, they were all asking her questions. I was over at the table eating a cupcake when Celestia called out to me, I nearly choked on the thing and they all giggled at it, I turned to look at her. “You've sure been quiet for something I'm sure has some questions for me” She smiled at me. I rubbed the back of my head, slightly embarrassed from being called out. “Well Princess, I would like to talk to you in private about those questions... If that's alright with you.” Everyone pony in the room looked at me when I said that and then at Celestia. “Of course, Tyler.” She got up and smiled down at Twilight. “I'll be back very shortly Twilight, then we'll be able to talk.” She nodded at the other ponies and went to the door. I followed her, we walked outside and the two Royal Guards standing there were about to follow. “There is no need to tag along, we're just going for a walk I assure you.” The guards looked at each other and shrugged and stood back by the door. We began to walk down one of the roads, some of the ponies would wave a hoof to Celestia as we did, she'd smile back at them. I was going to finally get some answers... I felt like I was going to faint from this. “So, what is it you would like to ask?” She said looking at me. “Well... First off I want to know why you wanted Twilight to bring me here.” I asked her with a serious tone. She sighed softly. “Every day I would get reports about somepony somewhere using their magic to bring humans to our world. So I wanted her to look into the spells that I have heard about to see if she could get them to actually work.” She explained. "Once that was done, I asked her to see if there was a way to send you back using the same spells. Sadly it's only a one way spell from what Twilight has told me...” She trailed off that she knew something. Before she could say anything, I spoke up. “I had a talk with Lyra a few days ago... She told me how she used to be human and that she was brought here by a one of the unicorns where she was living...” Celestia interrupted me. “I'm well aware of Lyra and what she was 5 years ago. I also know that she was turned into a pony.” When she said that, I just stopped walking. 'She knew about Lyra..? She knows all about humans coming to their world...?' She had noticed that I stopped walking and she turned her head to look at me, While deep in thought, I found myself just staring at her flank, When I realized this, one thing just went into my mind and stopped all over thinking. 'Dat Plot'. My face then started to become red as I then snapped out of it, I move my eyes away from her flank and look at her face. She was slightly blushing. “Uhm.. I'm.. uhh...” I couldn't bring myself to say anything, I just got caught staring at Princess Celestia's ass... What the hell was I going to say to that? I turned away from her and went down to one of the alley ways that were next to us, it was a short dead end but I couldn't really look at her. I took a deep breath and stood up straight. “Alright... maybe she didn't notice you were looking at her... ass so just say you... uhm... shit” I said, trying to whisper it. Thinking I should just face what happened, as I turned around she was standing right behind me. 'Aw shit' went through my head. My face blushed somewhat brightly knowing that she probably heard me. “Staring at my flank I see?” She stared right at me, I found myself backing up from her, trying to say something but I couldn't find the words. She started to walk closer to me. “I must say, I am rather disappointed in you Tyler.” She said in a somewhat angry tone. “I-I swear I didn't mean to stare at your as-uhhh.. flan-” Before I could finish, my back pressed up to the wall and I had no where I could go. The one time I can talk to her about everything and I screw it up. She looked me right in the eyes and, her body was almost pushed up against mine, blushing slightly from the fact that I had a small crush on her and that she was up against me, but scared of what she might do to me. “But” She said in the same tone but then it changed to a rather... “I am rather flattered that you would take interest in my flank.” Seductive tone. This was rather unexpected. Confused as to what the hell was going on, I found myself slowly leaning my head forward. Closing my eyes slightly I felt my lips gently press into hers. She didn't pull back when I did, though she was slightly surprised about the kiss. We stood there in the alley way for a few minutes, holding the kiss before it was broken. Celestia stepped back from he, her cheeks were bright red, so were mine. I looked up at her and she smiled. “S-sorry Princess..” She looked somewhat confused to why I was saying sorry to her. She just giggled. “Did you not enjoy it?” She said, sounding somewhat upset about it. “Nonononono! I.. Just.. Well because you're..” I said looking down. “Royalty?” she said before I could say anything. I nodded. She once again giggled and gave me a kiss on the cheek. “There's no need to be worried about that.” “Princess.. I have one more thing to ask you.” I looked at her, no longer blushing. “You know something that you haven't told me... There is a way for me to get back isn't there?” She didn't hesitate to answer. “Yes, there is a way, but I wouldn't be able to do it until next week because that's when everything will be aligned together to open the gateway.” “What if... I want to stay? Seeing how Lyra was... Well you know.” I looked away for a second that back at her to see her turning around to head out of the ally since we've been in there for a few minutes. I followed behind has as she thought for a moment. “There is a way for me to do that, with the help of my sister, Luna. But once it's done it can't be undone.” She looked at me as I came up next to her. Oddly there weren't any ponies around. So I didn't have to keep down about it. “I see, well I'll be thinking about it..” “Good, let's head back shall we?” She looked at me with a smile. I nodded and we went back to Twilight's house. It's been a hour since we got back, Twilight and Celestia had their time to talk and the others asked her a few more things. It was time for her to leave and go back to Canterlot. Before she did she looked over at me and game me a seductive smile and said her goodbyes. As soon as they all said goodbye to her, Twilight rushed right over to me. “So! What did the two of you walk about?” She said with a eager smile. I didn't really want to tell her what we talked about and I sure as hell didn't want anypony knowing that we kissed. “Just asked her about the whole gateway thing..” I said, sighing after it. “Does she know of a way to get you back?” Tilting her head as she said. “Yeah, next week she'll be able to do it... But I don't know if I want to go or stay.” “Stay!?” Pinkie Pie said, jumping right into the conversation. “You're thinking about staying here with us ponies?!?” She had that big smile on her face when she said that. “Yeah, I kinda want to now, I don't know. I'll need to think about it.” I looked off at the window, sighing slightly again as thoughts started to flood my head once more. “That'd be quite an interesting thing if I don't say so myself. A human living among us would surely be loads of fun." Rarity said, I wasn't really sure if she was meaning it to be a bad thing or was she just usually like that? Mostly likely the first. “Well, I have grown to love this place... Everyone is just so friendly and kind... I have a week to think about it.” I said, forcing a smile at the ponies. “I'm sure whatever you choose will make you happy.” Fluttershy said in her soft sweet voice. “Thank you all... Really.” Fluttershy gave me a hug, right after her they others gave me one as well. I hugged them back and smiled once again. I surely do have a lot to think about... I mean I kissed Celestia... That makes me want to stay here, same with how I've grown to love it here. What if I stay and turn into a pony... Would things still be the same? Like I said, I have a lot of thinking to do. > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been almost been a week since I've talked to Celestia and... kissed her. That moment, printed into my mind, makes some of this thinking hard. Over the past week I've been thinking and trying to have the best time I could here because I could very well be going home soon. I'm not saying that I am, but it could happen. Tomorrow Twilight and I are going to Canterlot, I'll have one more day to make up my mind on what I want to do, because there are a few things I can do. But what do I choose? It was around midnight, I laid there awake staring out at the moon through the window, thinking. Everypony was asleep and I was the only one awake. “Ugh... I need some fresh air.” I said getting up quietly. I headed over to the door and went outside, the area was lit up by the moon light, I looked right up at the moon and stood there. I have this weird feeling in my stomach, I knew this feeling all too well. I was nervous about making my decision come tomorrow (Because it's midnight, tomorrow is still technically a day away). I looked around and sighed to myself as I headed back in. I went to the couch and laid back down. When I did, a small smile came to my face as I thought about Celestia, and before I knew it. I was asleep. I woke up to the sound or Twilight telling Spike how happy she was to go see her brother, but was somewhat sad that I might be leaving them. I grunted a little bit as I opened on eye and looked over. Spike was putting things into Twilight's bag for her and she was going down a list of things to bring. “Alright Spike, that should be the las- Oh! Did you pack my book?” She stopped and looked at the baby dragon. He nodded and chuckled. “You've asked me that like three times now Twilight” Twilight giggled and then noticed I was waking up. “Good morning Tyler.” She smiled. “Eh... Morning.” I sounded slightly mad when I said that but I didn't mean for that. She tilted her head slightly. “Oh... Sorry, I didn't mean for that to come out that way.” “It's alright, you're going through a lot right now. So it's underst-” Before she could finish, Pinkie Pie came busting in like a ninja. “WAIT!!!!!!” She said yelling out, she then jumped at me. “I wanted to make sure I said a goodbye to just in case you don't come back!” said Pinkie. That made me smile slightly that she wanted to, and before I knew it, the others came walking in. “We wanted to give you a good farewell my dear.” Rarity said, smiling. The others smiled as well. Seeing them coming to say goodbye to me was somewhat heartbreaking, it almost made me tear up a bit but I didn't. “Thank you guys, if... if I don't stay..." I choked up for a moment. "I will truly miss you all.” I gave Pinkie Pie a tight hug seeing as she was still on top of me. The others trotted over and gave me a hug as well. Pinkie started to cry like she does when she really is upset. I knew it before now, but at this moment, it really sunk in: They've accepted me as their friend. Twilight came over and put a hoof on my shoulder, I looked up at her. The others did too. “It's time to go Tyler.” When she said that it was kinda in a sad tone. I let go of the ponies and smiled at them, they looked sad about me having to leave them. “Listen, if I don't stay... Everything will be alright okay?” I say trying to sound confident for them. Rainbow wiped her eyes and looked off, trying to not tear up about the sad moment. Fluttershy looked up at me, her ears were down. “I do hope you stay... But i-if you don't... I hope everything goes okay for you...” I forced a smile and patted my hand on her head, she nuzzled it. “Same goes for us sugarcube.” Applejack said, speaking for others. “I need you guys to be strong about this... I'll always have you in my memories. And I'll always be in yours.” Again with trying to sound confident. They all gave me one last hug. I hugged them back tightly. When they let go, Spike came over to me. “I'm gonna miss you Tyler.” He said looking up at me, Pinkie started to cry even more and that just made this even more heartbreaking. Twilight sighed loudly and looked at me with her bag on her back. I smiled at all of them and grabbed my bag that was sitting next to the couch. Twilight and I headed out to the train station. The others came along to see us off, Lyra had stopped by, before we left, to say goodbye to me and wished that I had a safe trip home. The train started to take off as Twi and I waved to everyone. The train station became out of view and I sat back in my set, Twilight sat across from me and game me a small smile. “So... Have you thought about what you're going to do?” “I have... But I'm not really sure about what I want to do, I have till tomorrow to make a final decision...” I looked out the window, starting to go deep into thought. “Well, do you want to stay here?” She said tilting her head slightly. “Honestly, I do, but part of me wants to go back home... I mean people have got to be worried about me... I...” How the hell am I supposed to answer that...? I mean there are reasons why I want to stay... but I don't belong here... At that moment all thoughts in my head just seemed to go away. My mind is now blank. I look over at Twilight and it seems that she's talking but I can't hear her. She begins to look worried and then I snap out of it. “Whoa... I just zoned out there for a second... Sorry about that, what were you saying?” “Oh... I was asking what you were about to say... You don't have to answer if you don't want to.” We sat there in silence for a good 5 minutes before anyone spoke up. “Could a human really live here among ponies...?” I said, staring right at her. Twilight didn't say anything. That made it seem like I was right, humans can't. But then she spoke up. “We've all accepted you as one of our friends, even if you're not like any of us, but that doesn't change a thing about how we feel about you.” She said smiling, trying her best to comfort me. Honestly it worked, her saying that made me smile big. Hearing all these things and feeling all these emotions are making me think about good things... The other thing that's really been a good thought in my head was the princess. “Thank you Twilight... I needed to hear that.” I reached over and gave her a hug, she hugged me back tightly and smiled. Canterlot is coming into view, that feeling I had last night is starting to come back. The train came to a stop, Twilight grabbed her things and head off the train car. I followed behind her, as soon as I stepped off the train, I stood there in awe at Canterlot. This place was amazing. I didn't think it would make me feel so... happy, seeing this place. While we were walking down to the castle, I looked up at one of the towers and saw Celestia, she was going inside when I saw her but that fact I saw her made me all giggly inside. Twilight noticed this and just smiled, thinking I was feeling somewhat better. Twilight seemed to be looking for someone, I was really sure who she'd be looking for but out of nowhere, I heard a voice. “Twily!” I looked over to where I heard the voice, standing there in a uniform was a white unicorn with blue striped hair. It was Twilight's brother. “Shining Armor!” Twilight called out running to her brother. She jumped up on him in a hug. “How have you been sis?” Shining said as they snuggled into each other. “I've been good, how 'bout yourself?” She asked him, before he could answer a female voice spoke up. “Oh he's been very well.” A pink alicorn walked up to the two of them smiling. “Cadence!” Twilight let go of her brother and went to her, they did their little dance which made me laugh a little bit. While they were doing that, Shining Armor came up to me. “So you're the human that Twily has told me about, it's nice to meet you.” Shining held his hoof out for a hoof shake. I chuckled and shook it. “It's nice to meet you too, my name is Tyler.” I said, we both look at Twilight and Cadence after they're done with their dance. “So where are you guys heading to?” “We were just going for a little walk. You?” Before I could answer Shining Armor, Twilight spoke out. “I'm showing him around Canterlot.” Twilight said, walking up to us with Cadence. “Ah, I see. Well we'll see you to the castle.” Shining stood next to Cadence and they both smiled. We all head off to the castle, Twilight tells her brother how things are going in Ponyville, we come to the library when one of the Royal Guard comes up to us. “Sir Armor, sir. Celestia would like to see you.” The guard says to him. Shining nodded to him and put a hoof to his forehead. The guard does the same and trots off. “I'm sorry, but duty calls.” He says to us. “We'll have to catch up later, you guys take care.” He gives Cadence a kiss before he goes. Twilight and I wave to him. “I should probably get back to my work, it was good to see you again Twilight.” Cadence smiled and walked off. Twilight and I walked into the library. We went around looking at the different books and she told me all about them. She sure does like talking about things like that, it always brings a smile to her face. If I did leave here this would be one thing I would miss. The day went on with Twilight showing me around Canterlot. It sure was beautiful. Makes you wish you were royalty so you could live in a place like this. While we were out over in the maze area, two Royal Guards came over to us. “We're sorry to interrupt you, but the Princess has requested to see you both at once.” Twilight nodded to them and looked up at me. “I wonder what the princess wants, but she probably just wants to talk to you about tomorrow.” she said. Hearing the guards say that Celestia wanted to see us made my legs weak and filled my stomach with butterfly's. I was getting that nervous feeling again. I haven't seen her since we kissed... What if things become awkward for us while we're in there... I sure hope they don't. We walk into the main castle area inside where Celestia was. I start to take a few deep and slow breathes when I see her standing there. There are two guards standing on either side of her. When Twilight and I are in front of her, she asks them to leave the room for a moment. “Is everything alright Princess?” Twilight asked her, sounding a bit worried. Celestia just chuckled lightly. “No, everything is fine Twilight Sparkle. I just wanted to have a word with you two.” She said, looking down at Twilight and then up at me. I looked back at her but moved my eyes away. I could feel my cheeks starting to blush slightly. “Twilight, I would like you to go into the library and pick out these books and get things ready for tomorrow.” Celestia floated a list over to Twilight and she took it. “Tyler, I would like you to stay up here with me so we can talk about what's going to happen tomorrow. There'll be a small time slot for me to do it. So I'll explain it before hoof so we don't miss it.” Celestia said in her usual voice, but it had a slightly different tone to it. I couldn't really place it, but she was either a little upset about tomorrow or there's more to it than just wanting to talk. Twilight nodded to the Princess and looked up at me. “Well, I'll see you tomorrow morning Tyler. Goodnight you two.” She turned around and left the room. I watched her till the doors closed, once they did I turned to Celestia. I was about to ask her something but before I could, Luna came into the room. “Good evening sister and...” Luna paused for a second. “Whatever you are.” 'Whatever you are'? Nice to meet you too. Celestia glared slightly at her. Luna's eyes went somewhat wide from it. “Eh, my dearest apologies, sorry for my rudeness. My name is Princess Luna and it's a pleasure to meet you.” She walked over to me and held out her hoof. I reached out and shook it. “My name is Tyler, it's nice to meet you.” I smiled at her and she smiled back. The sun was going down and it was almost time for the moon to come up. Luna looked over at her sister. “I wanted to come say hello to you sister before I headed off. I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.” Luna grinned as she looked at her sister. Celestia's gave her a dirty look because of it. Luna giggled and then walked off, feeling victorious for annoying her sister. As soon as Luna left, we were alone in the room, Celestia started to walk off, yawning slightly. I followed her. “So, what do we need to talk about?” I said. She turned her head to look at me as we walked. “Well, there is not that much to it, but since the only time I can do it is in the morning, we'll have to be ready for it. When it happens, I'll use my magic to open up the gateway and when I do, everything will seem somewhat off-putting.” She explained. “It's rather hard to explain why it does this but it shouldn't be too much of a bad feeling. When you go through it, it should put you back to where you were when it first picked you up to bring you here. I don't know how much time would have passed in your world but hopefully only the same amount of time that you've been here.” She stopped and looked at me, when she did she looked right into my eyes. I looked back into hers. I had a hard time reading her face because Celestia had one of the best poker faces I've ever seen. But something inside me was telling me something. She looked off again and then it hit me. That feeling I was getting was telling me that what I was thinking in my mind was the same thing she was thinking. I could be wrong... But maybe she doesn't want tomorrow to happen... Maybe she is having the same feelings as I am... There's only one way to find out. “The chances of us missing the gateway are rather slim, but it could happen.” Celestia said while she was looking away. I took a step forward so I was closer to her. She turned to look at me again. “The time it will be op-” She stopped as she noticed that I was closer to her. She looked right back into my eyes again as I looked into hers once more. Her face became slightly flushed because of it. I took a deep breath and then spoke softly. “You feel the same way don't you... You can't deny it.” I was taking a big risk with this... But what did I have to lose? Celestia's eyes slowly closed to about half way as she got closer to me, I could feel the front of her body lightly push up against my chest. My cheeks started to blush as she then closed her eyes. “I did not think you would pick up on that Tyler... But I can say that I am glad that you did.” She opened her eyes again. Her beautiful light purplish eyes seemed to look right through me. I placed my hand on the back of her neck and ran my fingers through her mane as I pressed my lips gently to hers. I could feel her body press more into mine when our lips met. It seemed to hold there for a good minute before the kiss was broken. Celestia pulled back slightly and looked at me as I looked back at her, the silent air was filled with nothing but our breathing. At the moment it was such a soothing sound. Celestia pressed her lips into mine this time, and when she did I felt her lips part a bit. I tilted my head when she did and processed to slide my tongue into her mouth, her tongue did the same. The taste of her mouth and tongue made me blush hard and I'm sure she was as well. I ran my fingers through her mane once again as our tongues wrapped around each other. I could feel Celestia's soft and gentle moans as I did this. Her moaning was like music to my ears. It felt like this went on forever and I didn't want it to end. Celestia pulled back slightly, breaking the kiss. Her cheeks were bright red from the kissing, when seeing this, this just made me blush even more. Celestia smiled at me and leaned down, whispering. “Would you like to come back to my room and spend the night with me?” And like a bullet to the head, it hit me: 'Holy Shit'. I took a deep breath and smiled at her. “I would love to, Celestia.” I said, she pulled back and smiled happily. She walked past me before I could turn around to follow her. She looked back at me with a seductive look and wiggled her flank at me in a teasing way. The look on my face made her giggle. This is going to be an interesting night. =Endings will soon be up!= *Authors notes: I just wanna say there will be an ending to this, so don't worry. But there's not going to be just one ending. Also I would like to say thank you to TheRedBrony for helping me with the editing. If it wasn't for him, My story wouldn't have been as readable as it was. :P > Ending 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ending number 1. It was still dark out, but morning was coming soon. Celestia had to get up early so she could raise the sun when it was time. I had spent the night with her, so I had to get up with her. I yawned as I looked at her, smiling lightly as I got dressed. She giggled a bit as she watched me. I'm not gonna lie, it felt slightly weird for Celestia to watch me get dressed. She walked over to the door and opened it, she popped her head out to make sure nopony was there. She gave me the go ahead to come over to her. 'So today's the day' I said to myself, thinking about the decision I'll soon have to make. Considering what happened last night gave me the answer. I want to stay here. I've never really had friends like I do here, never had anything with any girls before, let alone a pony. Plus... I rather liked that things needed to be secretive for Celestia and me. I walked past her and smiled, she smiled back. We began to walk down the hallway down to the other part of the castle, I needed to be in a room so the ponies wouldn't think I was with her all night. We both were quiet until I spoke up. “So, did you... enjoy last night?” I said, getting a little closer to her. Celestia seemed to smile, but it wasn't willingly. “It was interesting. But Tyler... I'm going to be honest with you.” She said, the tone of her voice made me feel off. I knew where this was going but I didn't want to believe it. “I don't think it's going to work out for us...” Her words were like knives and they stabbed into my heart a million times... and then some. “Oh... is it because I'm a human and you're royalty...?” I said, then thinking to myself 'Really? Are you that stupid? You know damn well why it wouldn't.' Celestia hesitated for a second, like she needed to think about what I said. “Yes... It wouldn't be right for us to be together like this... I'm sorry...” She said as we continued to walk down the hall. Looks like I'm not going to stay... Fuck that... I mean we... Sigh. How could she be like this? I mean... Everything that happened... and she flat out says it's not going to work out? Not even going to give it a fucking chance!? I need to get away from here... and fast... Once we had got to the room where I was supposed to be staying, I walked off, I needed some space. After what I was told I was heartbroken... I couldn't stand being around anypony... A few hours had passed, the time for it was coming up. I knew what I was going to do. “Princess Celestia, I got everything ready.” Twilight said to Celestia. “Thank you Twilight Sparkle. Tyler should be coming here soon.” She looked around, seeing if maybe I had shown up. She was starting to get worried because I walked off from her shortly after what we talked about. “I'm here.” I said, walking into the room, sounding obviously upset. I walked up to the both of them and stood there. “I have decided that I want to go home.” Twilight's ears flattened when I said that. “Oh... Are you su-” Before she could finish I glared at her. “Yes, I'm sure now. When can I leave?” I asked in a annoyed tone. Celestia's face had a somewhat sad look on it when she heard the tone I had with Twilight. Twilight looked like she was on the verge of tears. “In a few moments...” Celestia said, the tone in her voice made me think for a second, but the thought that tried to form in my mind was overpowered with that heartbreak feeling. I couldn't think about anything else but that and going home... Away from here. Celestia levitated a book over to her. She opened it up to the page she needed and looked at me. She'd usually have a good poker face on but right now, I could read everything that was going through her mind. She was regretting telling me what she did, but nothing she could do would make me chance the way I felt. So I just looked away from her. She sighed softly and began to read out a spell. Celestia finished reading and closed the book. She then looked at me. “You're going to feel dizzy once it starts, you'll be sent back to where you were when we brought you over here...” She stopped for a second. “Are you sure this is what you want...?” “Yes... I just want to go home.” Celestia could hear the hurt in my voice. Twilight could too but she didn't know why it was there. “I think it's starting...” I said, looking around as my head began to feel slightly dizzy. I looked at Twilight, her head was hung low and her ears were still flattened. Celestia looked sad. I closed my eyes as the dizziness got stronger, everything started to go dark, but before I was completely out, one thing seemed to drift into my mind. “I'm... sorry I hurt you...” “Celestia!” I said leaning straight up, reaching into the air, I was breathing heavily. I looked around, everything seemed... Older. I got to my feet once I was able to get my bearings. My head was hurting slightly but that's probably just from the travel from their world to mine. I rubbed my head. “Ugh... Was it all really...? I better head home...” I walked through the park, everything seemed so... I don't even know what to say. I came to the end of the park and I just stopped. The whole area... was different. New houses, new people... New everything. I started to breathe a little heavy. “No... no no no no...” I began to run towards my house, hoping that it was still there. My heart sunk when I got there. It was gone, my house was completely gone... What the fuck is going on... This... This can't be happening... I began to panic, this had to be a dream or some shit that was messing with my mind. I saw a newspaper on the ground, I picked it up, so see what the date was. “Let's see... July 19th... 20.........2022.” Twenty... Twenty-two. The year was 2022. I've been gone for 10 years... I... Was gone… for 10 fucking years!... This... can't... no... I just fell to the ground, I had no home... no family, no friends... nothing... I was alone here in MY own world... I began to cry into my hands, taking in everything and realizing that I no longer had anything anymore... “I should have stayed in Ponyville... I... made a big mistake and I can't change it... I have nothing to live for anymore...” I manage to get to my feet, I looked around at everything, tears still rolling down my cheeks. I remembered that there was a river that was close by and there was a bridge. I walked to where it was, still crying my eyes out. I had nothing to live for and nowhere to go. If I've been gone for 10 years, everyone must have thought I've died or got kidnapped or murdered. I came up to the bridge, looking over it I could see the water. I could also see a good amount of large rocks under it. I managed to stop crying for a minute to get myself to the ledge. Once there, I looked down at the water. I closed my eyes and thought about Celestia and every pony I had met and became friends with. “I... will miss you... goodbye... world.” I let out all the breath I had in my lungs and then leaned forward, not holding onto the railing. My life there in Ponyville flashed before me in my mind, that month's worth of memory went through my mind in a matter of seconds. Then... everything around me when black. Everything was silent, I could feel pain going through my body, but everything was black. But... something called out one last time before I was gone. “I'm... sorry I hurt you...” The End. > Ending 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ending 2. The moon was still up, but morning was coming fast. I felt myself starting to wake up, at first I was wondering where I was. But it didn't take long for me to notice I was in the castle. I groaned leaning up slightly, I noticed that someone was next to me. It was then that I realized it was Celestia. I remember what happened last night, it brought a smile to my face. I yawned softly into my hand, when I did Celestia had began to wake up. She looked up at me and smiled. “Good morning.” I said, smiling at her. Celestia sure looked beautiful with her hair all out on the pillow. She yawned softly and smiled back at me. “Good morning, Tyler.” She said, leaning up. She gave a little moan when she stretched out. She got off the bed and walked over to the window, looking at the moon. “How did you sleep?” She looked over at me. “Great, better then sleeping on a couch like the one Twilight has.” I chuckled, Celestia giggled. “Well, we should probably get you to your room, if anyone were to find out you spent the night with me, they... might get ideas.” She blushed slightly. I smiled and got up, walking over to her. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her on the lips. She kissed me back and then smiled. At that moment, I knew what my decision was going to be. I'm here to stay. After the kiss, she walked over to the door. She opened it slowly and poked her head out to see if anypony was there, the hallway was empty. “Alright, nopony is here. Let's go.” I nodded and walked up behind her. Before I passed her, I gave her flank a nice little slap. Her eyes went wide from it and she begin to blush. She looked down at me, grinning. “Just because there's no guards or ponies around doesn't mean you can do that.” She said with a teasing tone. I smirked and chuckled. “You know you liked it.” I said, walking past her. She didn't say anything and just followed me, grinning. We both walked down the hall in silence, I could hear Celestia about to say something but she was holding it back. “If there's anything you want to say, you can.” I finally broke the silence between us. “Oh... Uhm... Well I was just wondering… how last night was for you.” She blushed as she asked. I chuckled softly and smiled at her, getting closer to her and putting my arm around her. “Well, considering I've never really did anything with a pony before, let alone a alicorn, it was wonderful. What about you?” I looked at her, smiling. “It was most interesting. Though it was the first time I've done this, it surely won't be the last.” She said with a seductive tone, it made me blush. “Is that so?” I asked sarcastically, she nodded and we shared a laugh. This made me wonder... What if I was a pony? Would things be more... natural for her and me? I have a few hours to think about that part, and what Lyra said about everything that happened to her. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. We got to the room where I was supposed to be for the night. I walk into it and turn to Celestia. “So, when will this happen?” I asked. “In a few hours, I need to go and get ready to raise the sun. I'll see you and Twilight in a few.” Before she left, I stopped her and pulled her into the door way, giving her a quick kiss. She blushed, surprised by it, but smiled as she kissed back. I smiled as she walked off, going back to her room, I laid down on the bed, still kinda tired. I think I'll take a nap until I need to meet up with them. “Tyler, wake up! You only have 30 minutes!” Twilight yelled at me. It seems I slept longer than I wanted to. “I'm up, I'm up...” I leaned up, yawning a bit. I looked at Twilight. “Come on! You don't want to be late if you decide to go back home!” She said, trying to hurry me like she wants me to leave. Which I knew she didn't, but it sounded like it. I got up from the bed and stretched, yawning as I walked over to the door. Twilight trotted behind me, we headed to where the Princess was. The doors opened into the main area of the castle, Celestia stood there waiting for us. There were a few books laying on the ground next to her, most likely the books that had the spell to send me back. “Hello Tyler, how did you sleep last night?” Celestia asked me, already knowing the answer but wanted to ask because she wasn't supposed to know. “I slept good, how 'bout yourself?” I said, grinning slightly at her. Her cheeks flushed but only slightly. I realized what she as doing so I thought I would do the same back to her. “It was a rather wonderful night for me, I haven't slept like that in years.” She said, trying to put on her best poker face because she was starting to blush. “That's good.” I said, Twilight smiled and nodded in agreement. “So, is it time?” I asked the Princess. “Yes, have...” She paused for a second. “…you came to a decision?” Her tone changed slightly when she asked me that. “Yes. I want to stay here.” I said looking at Twilight. She started to bounce up and down happily. “Really!?” She said, smiling. “Yes, really.” I said, I then looked at Celestia with a smile. She could tell what I was thinking by the look on my face. “But, there is one thing I would like done Celestia.” She tilted her head. “And what would that be, Tyler?” She said, wondering what I was going to ask. “I... I want to be a pony.” Twilight and Celestia were both surprised about it. “I want to live amongst you all as one of you guys, as a pony.” I said, smiling at them. Celestia seemed confused about this, but she smiled at me. This is going to work out for the best... things will be more natural for us when we spend time together. Same with being around the others. Celestia levitated a book over to her, opening it up to the page she needed and then looked up at me. She closed her eyes and her horn started to glow, I closed my eyes too. I felt Celestia tap the tip of her horn to my forehead. Everything around me went dark, my mind was completely blank for a few minutes. I started to come to, I opened my eyes and my vision was slightly blurry, but I could see Celestia. Though... she was taller than me. When I noticed this I realized that she had turned me into a pony. “Whoa... That felt weird...” I got to my hooves and looked around, Twilight was standing there in awe. I take it she was impressed with the way I looked now. Same with Celestia. “Have a look at yourself.” Celestia said, levitating a mirror over. My jaw dropped when I saw what was in the mirror. Standing there was a tan-ish colored earth pony with a brown mane and tail. I looked a lot like I did as a human. My eye color however had changed into a green-ish brown color which was interesting. I turned to see if I had a cutie mark. I did, it was two wooden planks with a hammer. I guess it's that because I'm good with my hands (how ironic) and fixing things. “Well now this is interesting to see.” I said, staring at myself in the mirror. Celestia was looking down at my body, smiling slightly. I couldn't really tell what she was thinking because Twilight was here and I don't think she'd want her to know what her thoughts were. But I take it Celestia liked what she saw. “How do you feel Tyler?” Twilight said, looking at me with a smile. “Good I guess, it's surely a weird feeling. Everything looks bigger to me and... well I don't have fingers anymore.” I looked down at my hooves before hearing Twilight and Celestia giggling away. I feel that I am now truly one of them. This was the right thing to do, I'm glad I made this decision. It's been two weeks since I've decided to stay and be turned into a pony. Everything is going well. Almost everypony here doesn't seem to mind that I am like them now, though some of them are still getting used to it. But the fact that they're getting us to me this way makes me very happy. I've only seen Celestia once since this happened, I think I'll go see her today. I had to think of something so I could go there. They'd find it weird if I just went there to see the Princess, so I told everyone that I wanted to read up on some things, seeing as the library was bigger there then the one Twilight has. I arrived at Canterlot in a few hours, I went straight to the library to get a few books so it would seem legit. After that I went to go find Celestia, to my surprise she wasn't were I thought she would be, which is in the main area of the castle. I saw one of the Royal Guards walking down the hall and I thought to ask him. “Excuse me... But where could I find the Princess? I have some things I need to ask her about Equestria.” I said to him, he just looked down at me, almost like he knew I was lying about it. But he then pointed his hoof. “She's up in her room, but make it quick. The Princess has a lot to do today.” He said, sounding slightly annoyed. I said "thank you" and trotted off. I knocked on her door and waited for her to either say come in or come to the door. The door opened after a few seconds. “Hello there, Tyler.” Celestia said standing in the doorway, she smiled slightly. “Hey, Princess. I missed you so I thought I'd come by and see you.” I said smiling up at her. She moved out of the way to let me in. She didn't smile at the fact that I wanted to come and see her. I didn't really pay much mind to it. “I'm actually glad that you're here. I've been wanting to talk to you.” She had her poker face on, but the tone in her voice was making me think this is not one of those good kinds of talking. “Have a seat.” She said. I walked over to the couch and sat down. I was starting to get nervous about this. Celestia came over and sat down across from me, looking down at her hooves. “Well, Tyler. I'll get straight to the point. At first I thought you being one of us would make things between you and I... easier.” She explained. I knew exactly where this was going... “Don't get me wrong, I did have fun when you came to see me last time but I...” She paused and sighed deeply, “I don't think it's going to work out Tyler... I just don't feel the same about you anymore... I'm sorry.” My heart sunk deep into my stomach, I was speechless. I wanted to say something but I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I just looked down at my hooves, getting somewhat teary-eyed. “Are... are you sure Princess...?” I said in a soft, but sad tone. She sighed deeply once again. “I am sure Tyler... I am truly sorry.” She put her hoof on my shoulder. I just looked up at her. “Alright... well... I should get going...” I said, about to get up. Celestia was upset with having to break things off between us, but there wasn't much I could do about it. I walked over to the door and looked back at her, her ears had flattened as she stared down at her hooves. “Goodbye Celestia... You take care...” I walked out the door before she could say anything. I headed back to Ponyville. Depressed about what happened I felt like just going into the Everfree forest and being along. I didn't want to be around anypony for a while. Once the train stopped at Ponyville, I got right off and headed to the forest. I kept my head down as I walked through the streets. I hear somepony call out my name but I didn't stop. They did it again, still didn't stop. I then realized who it was that was calling me. It was Lyra. “Hey... What's wrong? You seem upset.” She said running over to me so she could stop me from walking away from her. “It's nothing... Just leave me be...” I said, about to start walking again. Lyra made sure I didn't move, she stood in front of me. I just kept my head down and began to sob softly. “Please tell me what's wrong...” She lifted my head up with her hoof, I sniffled a bit and sighed looking at her. “O-okay...” We walked over to a bench so I could tell her why I was so depressed and upset. I didn't tell her about Celestia and I, but I told her that I was in love with somepony and that after I was turned into a pony, she didn't feel the same way about me anymore. “So... that's why I was headed to the forest... I felt like being along because of...” I paused, trying to hold back my tears. Lyra wrapped her hooves around me and gave me a hug. “Listen... forget about her alright...? You'll find that special somepony soon...” She smiled at me, trying her best to comfort me. I felt slightly better talking to her about what happened, but felt even better when she was comforting me. “Thank you Lyra... for listening and comforting me...” I said, sniffling slightly. She just smiled at me again. I regret being turned into a pony, but not all is lost. I might have lost Celestia but I still have friends here... And who knows... Maybe I will find that special somepony... some day. The End. > Ending 3 *True ending* > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The moon was still up, but morning was coming fast. I felt myself starting to wake up, at first I was wondering where I was. But it didn't take long for me to notice I was in the castle. I groaned leaning up slightly, I noticed that someone was next to me. It was then that I realized it was Celestia. I remember what happened last night, it brought a smile to my face. I yawned softly into my hand, when I did Celestia began to wake up. She looked up at me and smiled. “Good morning.” I said, smiling at her. Celestia sure looked beautiful with her hair all splayed out on the pillow. She yawned softly and smiled back at me. “Good morning, Tyler.” She said, leaning up. She gave a little moan when she stretched out. She got off the bed and walked over to the window, looking at the moon. “How did you sleep?” She looked over at me. “Great, better then sleeping on a couch like the one Twilight has.” I chuckled, Celestia giggled. “Well, we should probably get you to your room, if anyone were to find out you spent the night with me, they might get ideas, which could be bad for both of us.” She said. I smiled and got up, walking over to her. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled slightly but didn't seem to care for it. I hope I didn't mess anything up between us last night. After the kiss on the cheek, she walked over to the door. She opened it slowly and poked her head out to see if anypony was there, the hallway was empty. “Alright, nopony is here. Let's go.” I nodded and walked up behind her. Before I passed her, I gave her flank a little slap. Her eyes went wide and she glared at me, blushing slightly. “Just because there's no guards or ponies around doesn't mean you can do that.” She said with a annoyed tone. I smirked and chuckled. “You know you liked it.” I said, She turned away and started to walk away from me. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. We both walked down the hall in silence, I could hear Celestia about to say something but she was holding it back. “I'm sorry I smacked your flank Celestia...” I finally broke the silence between us. She looked at me kinda confused and then just let out a giggle. “There's no need to be sorry... I get grumpy in the mornings sometimes.” She said, making me think maybe I didn't fuck anything up after all. “Oh... I thought maybe... last night was bad for you...” I said nervously. Looking at her. “Oh no!” She said giggling. “It was most interesting for me. Though it was the first time I've done this, it surely won't be the last.” She said with a seductive tone, it made me blush. "How was last night for you anyways?” She blushed as she asked. I chuckled softly and smiled at her, getting closer to her and putting my arm around her. “Well, considering I've never really did anything with a pony before, let alone an alicorn, it was wonderful.” I looked at her, smiling. Seeing as this morning had started to make me think that last night was bad, but it actually turned out to be a good night. It made me realize what my decision was going to be. I'm going to stay. We got to the room where I was supposed to be for the night. I walk into it and turn to Celestia. “So, when will this happen?” I asked. “In a few hours, I need to go and get ready to raise the sun. I'll see you and Twilight in a few.” Before she left, I stopped her and pulled her into the door way, giving her a quick kiss. She blushed, surprised by it, but smiled as she kissed back. I smiled as she walked off, going back to her room, I laid down on the bed, still kinda tired. I think I'll take a nap until I need to meet up with them. “Tyler, wake up! You only have 30 minutes!” Twilight yelled at me. It seems I slept longer than I wanted to. “I'm up, I'm up...” I leaned up, yawning a bit. I looked at Twilight. “Come on! You don't want to be late if you decide to go back home!” She said, trying to hurry me like she wants me to leave. Which I knew she didn't, but it sounded like it. I got up from the bed and stretched, yawning as I walked over to the door. Twilight trotted behind me, we headed to where the Princess was. The doors opened into the main area of the castle, Celestia stood there waiting for us. There were a few books laying on the ground next to her, most likely the books that had the spell to send me back. “Hello Tyler, how did you sleep last night?” Celestia asked me, already knowing the answer but wanted to ask because she wasn't supposed to know. “I slept good, how 'bout yourself?” I said, grinning slightly at her. Her cheeks flushed but only slightly. I realized what she as doing so I thought I would do the same back to her. “It was a rather wonderful night for me, I haven't slept like that in years.” She said, trying to put on her best poker face because she was starting to blush. “That's good.” I said, Twilight smiled and nodded in agreement. “So, is it time?” I asked the Princess. “Yes, have...” She paused for a second. “…you came to a decision?” Her tone changed slightly when she asked me that. “Yes. I want to stay here.” I said looking at Twilight. She started to bounce up and down happily. “Really!?” She said, smiling. “Yes, really.” I said, I then looked at Celestia with a smile. She could tell what I was thinking by the look on my face. “But, there is one thing I would like done Celestia.” She tilted her head. “And what would that be, Tyler?” She said, wondering what I was going to ask. “I would like to be able to come to Canterlot library to study the history of Equestria. I want to learn everything that there is to learn.” I gave Celestia and cheeky look before looking down at Twilight. Celestia knew exactly what I meant, she turned away for a second. “Yes, that is fine by me.” She then turned back and smiled. I looked down at Twilight, she was bring pretty much like Pinkie Pie now, all bubbly and happy. I take it she was glad that I was staying here. “Alright, well I guess we better head back to Ponyville. I'm sure the others are very curious about whether or not I stayed.” I said looking down at her. “I'll go get everything ready for us to head back!” She said, quickly giving Celestia a hug and then trotting off, I chuckled at the purple unicorn. I turned back to Celestia, before I could say anything, I felt her wrap her hooves around me. I was rather surprised by it but I returned the hug. “I'm glad you chose to stay.” She whispered, I smiled at her and gave her a little kiss on the lips, she kissed me back. Twilight and I headed back to Ponyville. While we were sitting there on the train, I got an idea. “Hey, Twi, know how Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash like to pull pranks?” I asked her. “Yeah, what about it?” She looked at me confused. “I say we pull one on the others. Like when we get there, you walk out and they ask about me. You just say something to make them think I left and then BAM! I come out.” I explained. “Hmm... that would be interesting to see.” She smiled up at me. We both sat there in silence for a few minutes before Twilight spoke up. “So... why did you choose to stay here with us?” “Well, I came to realize that this is my home now and leaving would make everypony here heartbroken. I feel that I am one of you guys now and I wouldn't want to change it for the world." I explained with a smile on my face. I couldn't really tell her much, but at least this much was true. “Well... I'm glad you stayed.” She said looking at me and I looked at her. “I like having you around.” She then put on a nervous smile, blushing slightly. Twilight didn't have the best poker face... I think I knew what she meant by the smile. Or at least what I fear it meant. If Twilight is starting to like me... I'm going to have to tell her that I'm not interested in her... But then she'll wonder why... and then I'll have to tell her that I have somepony already... 'Aw shit' I said to myself. The train started to slow down, we were about to get to the station that was at Ponyville. Twilight and I didn't really talk that much after she told me that she liked having me around. I knew exactly what she meant by it, but there wasn't much I could do about it at the moment. It would have to be something that would be dealt with later. I looked out the window to see the others standing there, waiting for us. “Alright, ready for the prank?” I asked Twilight. “Yep, like I said before. This should be interesting to see.” She said smiling up at me, she went and got her bag on, I sat there and waited for the right moment to come out. The train came to a stop and the doors opened. Twilight stepped out and was greeted by her friends. They were happy to see her and began to ask how her trip was. She looked behind her, that's when Pinkie asked her. “Wait a second... Where's Tyler?” Pinkie said to her friend, looking at her and then at the train car. The others asked as well, Twilight just looked down at her hooves. “Well...” She paused for a second. “Oh no... He left didn't he...” Fluttershy said, her eats flattened. Before the others could get upset, I poked my head out. “Nope.” I said, with a smirk on my face before stepping out. The ponies before me looked up to see me standing there. Fluttershy's ears perked right up, and she smiled. “Oh I see what you did there!” Pinkie pointed her hoof at me before tackling me down to the ground in a hug. I chuckled and hugged her back. “I was soooo worried that you weren't coming back! But now we can all have a PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!” Pinkie said bouncing off me, I laid there laughing. I got up and smiled down at the ponies. I then looked over towards where Canterlot was and smiled to myself, I have a lot to think about while I'm here. Like the Princess and me, how long would her and I be together for? Will it even last that long? Oh what the hell, I'm happy as hell to have her for now. “Come on everypony! Lets PARTAY!!!” Pinkie yelled, bouncing her way back to Twilight's place as the others followed her along. “You coming, Tyler?” Twilight said looking at me. I snapped out of the deep thought I was in and looked down at her. “Yeah, I am.” I picked up my bag and started to down the road. Twilight trotted alongside me. It was good to be back. And I sure as hell can't wait to have one of Pinkie's cupcakes. It's been six weeks since I've decided to say here in Equestria. Things are going smoothly for me here, there's always something to do which keeps me busy when the others are working. And when we're not doing that, we're either spending time together or partying with Pinkie Pie. But not everything is going well... Lately I've noticed Twilight trying to make a move on me, in her own nerdy way of course. But these aren't those kinds of moves, they're more of 'Hey... I like you and I'm trying to show you in my own way' kind. Just yesterday while we were in her library, she was sitting next to me and I was just reading a book when I noticed that she was getting closer to me, being all shy while she was doing it. I glanced over at her and she had this look in her face... A seductive look. What happened next? Fortunately, there was a knock at her door. She had gotten up to get it, and I was in the clear... For now anyways. But I can't think about that now. Not today... Why you might ask? Because today I'm going to Canterlot to see Princess Celestia. I've only seen her a few times since that night, but I feel that we're ready to take things to the next level... Because I love her. I sit on the train, going to Canterlot. It's almost 10 in the morning. I figured that if I came to Canterlot early in the morning, I could have more time to spend with the Princess. I still have to study things while I'm here because Twilight likes to quiz me on what I've learned. Which I've found to be slightly odd, but because I figured out she likes me, she would want to spend time with me as well. The train pulled up to Canterlot, an hour and a half has gone by since I last checked the time. From what she told me, she doesn't have much to do today so we'll be able to spend some time together. As I walked to the castle, I waved to a few of the ponies there. I saw Shining Armor and waved to him, he waved back with a smile. It's always good to see him, he's a pretty cool pony. I walked through to castle, looking around to see if I could find Celestia. I had no luck, so I thought I would try outside. I went outside and there she was, sitting at one of the benches in the garden. “Princess!” I said out loud, but not too loud. She turned her head over and smiled brightly as she saw me. “Hello, Tyler. It's good to see you.” She said as I walked up to her, I gave her a big hug quickly so nopony would see us. I then sat down next to her. “How are you? She asked, looking at me. “I'm quite well, Celestia. I've missed you.” I said, leaning on her slightly. “I've missed you too, Tyler.” She said smiling at me, a few birds flew over us and over to the tree that was in front of us, we sat there staring at it for a good few minutes. I reached over and placed my hand on her hoof and looked at her. “Celestia... There's something I want to talk about with you.” I said, somewhat nervous about it, but I wasn't planning on backing down from it. “Hmm?” She looked at he, she could see in my face that I was nervous about it. “I want to take things to the next level with you... But only if you want to that is...” I said, clearing my throat after. She giggled softly and leaned her head over to mine. “Is that so? To be honest I was thinking the same thing. And I think that would be a wonderful idea.” She said with a seductive tone and smile. I could hear a soft moan escaped her mouth. “So, I'll see you later tonight in your room?” I said to her, smiling at her as I did. “Yes, after Luna raises the moon.” She closed her eyes and rested her head against mine. “I'll see you then.” I said to her softly. We sat there for a few more minutes just enjoying the birds singing and the cool wind blowing. Everything in my life right now is going perfectly... Celestia and I are going to take that next step in our relationship... Tonight is going to be one hell of an interesting night. The End.
