> Paradox > by Stardust Hop > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Entry #1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Reader, Hi my name is Little Boo, I am an adventurer who was somehow transported to a new world through some bizarre event. Now hold up, I know you are thinking, “But You haven’t even told us how!” and giving this one note an evil grin already. I will Tell you all in due time. I Just Wanted to give out introductions and describe what the hell you’re reading is. Firstly, This item you have in your hands currently is one of my notebooks I was able to send back to my World. (That will be explained too.) It gives you A direct look into what is currently happening during the writing of it. I am hoping it helps the future us realize Mistakes. It also lets you know, that I am definitely real. Also mind you spelling errors and grammar may be off a bit, as I am not that great with it. Secondly, If You received this notebook then you have to be someone I knew. It’s just how it works. I don’t know who are right now but hopefully I will be able to know later. Also at the time of this first part, I am writing this in after the events currently so you aren't spooked when reading it. Lastly and most importantly, everything in this Notebook must be kept absolutely a hundred percent Secret. No one must know of it or everything I, we, have worked for will perish. It is critical that you keep it safe. And I am counting on you. So know that you are caught up, I shall let you read where it all began. “Ugh,” I say as every Casual girl would when getting up at six AM in the morning would. I rub my eyes and look at the clock. “6:01” I sigh. “Why must school be annoying?” I say to no one in particular as I shuffle around my room looking for some clothes. After battling with my basket for a pair of pants and a shirt I hear mother call up. “Alexis! Come get breakfast” I sigh and slip my shirt on and button my pants. Slowly slinking down the stairs I arrive in the TV room. My little brother was tiredly playing with his Builder Blocks toys I got him for his third birthday. He almost never puts them down. My Little sister was likewise watching her DVD of a show called My Little Pony. A show about Ponies and friendship. It was decent enough not to gouge my eyes out with a fork and some bleach. I stumble into the kitchen rubbing my eyes some more and start complaining to my mother who just happens to be all bright eyed. “Why do I have to get up at 6 if school doesn’t start until 9 again?” I slump in the chair as she slides over a plate of eggs and sausage. “No one ever told you you have to get up at six. That was your idea.” She replied switching the bacon out of the pan onto a plate covered in paper towels. “So then how did I come to this awfully annoying conclusion to get up at 6?” My brain sputtered to life remembering my dad and him always saying stuff about time management. “Your dad was always fond of being on time and when you were little you wanted to be just like him.” She said laughing at the memory.”Well, if anything you are just like him.” “But I’m a girl,” I say laughing at the joke. My mom joins in and I stick some food in my mouth. “New style?” I say with my mouthful “No, and stop chewing with your mouth open. Your Brothers going to pick it up. It’s a bad habit.” She points the spatula at me. I close my mouth and finish up my food, Laying it in the sink and rinsing water over it. “I’ll be in the TV room if you need me.” I tell my mom as I walk out of the kitchen rubbing my Stomach. I plop on the couch next to Ann, my Little Sister. “Enjoying the show?” I ask. She waves her hand in dismissal. “For a fourteen year-old you sure do have an attitude you know,” I tell her and focus on the TV. The episode playing was the one where a pony named Rainbow Dash doesn’t want to see her pet go to hibernate. Funny how he show works with animals taking other animals as pets. It reminds me of furries. Were they have pets which are more or less near sex slaves. Sometimes you get that one person who just has a pet to cuddle with on lonely nights. I always thought of it as a weird concept. It’s like… legal slavery but not. Always strikes my mind. I was tempted to turn off the show because Ann had seen it about a million times since it aired on the downfalling HUB network, But I saw something that changed my mind. Having seen the episode many times from watching it with her, I saw something… Unexpected that was never there before. It was a pink pony with blue hair. She seemed to be staring at the audience. And she was in the same position in every frame. Weird. I grabbed the remote from next to my sister and paused it, ignoring her rejections and attempts to grab it back. “Look, Don’t you see it. The pink pony with blue hair?” Ann looked at me confused. “I only see Rainbow Dash and her tortoise.” At least she knows the difference between a tortoise and a turtle. She look at the screen hard and long. “Nope, I don’t see anything” she claims. But wasn’t so sure. I rewinded the episode all the way to the beginning and noticed that the pony was looking at the camera directly after the intro credits. She was looking with her eyes like she was trying to find someone. I fast forwarded it to the point when I came in and the eyes on the pony stopped searching and were actually laid on me as if I was the thing she was looking for. I got a chill down my spine and my head started hurting. Weird things this early in the morning must mean something weird was gonna happen. I knew it before anything did. I walked up to the TV and just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming I pinched myself and then poked the TV. It was just as solid as ever. “Huh,” I made a noise too soon. As soon as I dismissed it with the huh, a crack appeared on the TV. I rubbed my finger lightly across it to see if it was real. Oh it was real. Real enough to cut my finger. I cursed lightly at the pain and watched as the crack spread.My Sister Ann now seeing the crack freaked out. “Mom! Alexis Broke the TV!” I heard mom rush in saying something about the last time I broke the TV, but i wasn’t listening. I stick my finger in my mouth as I watch the crack grow bigger and bigger until it starts to spiderweb its way across all fifty inches of the TV. A light was leaking out of the cracks and parts of the TV were falling off. The glass almost water-falling into the floor like a river of glass crystals. I backed up so I don’t cut any more. I was greeted by a blinding light as it exploded from the now glasses TV like a flame bursting out of a bonfire when you add paper. I had no idea on what to think. It was only 6:30 in the morning! I started to feel like I was being pulled in. Like a vacuum picking up dust bunnies. I tried backing away but the pull was to strong. I yelled out at my mom but she was so shocked and in disbelief that she stood there in awe. My little sister had a tear stream down her face as she tried to grab my hand and pull me back, failing every single time. My little Brother didn’t pay attention, he kept playing with his Builder Blocks building away at a castle that closely resembled something you would see in a cartoon. “Help!” I screamed hoping the neighbors would hear, but nothing. It was as pointless as trying to find a hay in a needle stack. The pull eventually pulled my feet out from under me and i was dragged into the TV. My little brother looks up at me as everything turned to black. He was the last thing I ever saw. > Entry #1.25 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The blackness was cold. So cold it should have froze me to death but somehow I was alive. Stranded in a Limbo like state. I floated there for hours, years, centuries or even millennium. There was no way for me to tell the time. I was sure I was dead and if I wasn’t, I really wanted to be. My whole family and my life was ripped away from me in less than a minute. All my happiness drained out. I was a gutted fish trying to stay alive even though Death wasn’t far out sight waving his scythe around. I didn’t even know if I was dead. I felt blank. I breathed out and saw my own breath. It floated off to the side and just stayed there, bouncing in a rhythmic motion. I curled into the fetal position feeling that everything is gone and no life should be life should be like this. I breathed out again. Watching the air float over to the other and bounce along with it. I had battles in my head on whether or not I was dead and this was hell or if there even was a such thing heaven or hell. And if there was, shouldn't I have reached it by now. Shouldn’t I have been Judged by whoever rules this world? Am I even in a world? I breathed out and watched my breath join the other two. My mind drifted, I imagined images and swirls with colors brighter than the sun and shades as deadly as Satan himself. They shifted and moved creating many images. I breathed out and watched my breath join the other three. I had a memory float into my head from when I was younger. There was this man and all he wore was black formal pants and a white button up shirt. He came over to me and asked me why I was crying. I told him it was because I dropped my ice cream before I even started it. The man showed empathy towards my 5 year old stature and went out of his way to get me another ice cream. He offered it to me and sat down on the bench as I licked the ice cream away. “Your mom is special you know.” He said. I looked over to him and asked him how. He responded after closing his eyes and sighing. “Oh it was a long time ago. Your mom and I were best friends and we had great times.” he began to tell a story about the two of them, but then my mind drifted again. I cursed myself for not being able to relive that cherished moment. I tried to think of him as much as I could but everytime I tried it seemed he faded deeper and deeper away from my Memory. Breathed out again and watched the puff of air float to the other puff that had collected over the time of me being here. I was still scared by what happened but I was curious. I used all my energy and put my floating thought to the side and floated over to where the puffs were. Reached out with my hand and poked them. They felt full and heavy with life. I shrugged and observed them for awhile. After who knows how long I got tired of waiting for what was going to happen. Tired of the blackness and tired of not being able to relive any memories. I waved my hand in the puffs of air and saw a light. Out of new curiosity I floated over to it. I waved my hands in the puffs some more. It revealed more light. As I found this out I moved my hands even faster and faster Until i felt like my entire being was sucked directly out of the Pit of Blackness and into something alive. I started to hear noises and words and sounds of a worldly nature. Felt grass on my back and my eyes were closed. I sighed. And then did it again to see if it actually came from my mouth. I was surprised to say it did. I was happy but I couldn’t move. Every time I attempted to move a sharp pain hit my in my hips as if i was trying to move something wrong. I attempted again and this time getting a small reaction from my legs, I groaned at the pain. I heard voices respond to my groan and what sounded like movement head over to me. It got closer and closer until I could feel breathes around me. I could hear everyone who was there heartbeat. It sounded off from a human's but what do I know? I could have been in a coma for 10 years or frozen under Disneyland and just brought back to life. I felt someone's hand on my head, except it didn’t feel like a normal hand. Maybe there was nuclear war people were mutated. It would be like waking up in a fallout game. I shiver and then feel a warm cloth spread upon my body. My eyes were still shut tight. I was afraid of what I would see. Images of horribly deformed Frogmen kept popping into my head. I heard a voice rang out, It sounded… Nerdy but royal? Is that even a thing? “Can you hear us?” is what the voice asked. I couldn’t find my voice so I nodded my head. The voice rang out this time closer to me. “We found you just outside of the town, halfway out of The lake.” She stuttered a little. “Are you able to t...Talk?” I shook my head. “I see.. Hmm alright.” I heard her walk off and then back. I felt a drop of some liquid on my eyelids. “When you want to you can open your eyes. I gave you some healing potion to get rid of the eye sickness you had.” I was unprepared. Horrible unprepared. I thought at that time that if I take my chances it will pass by and I will be able to accept sooner. Well I was wrong. What I saw after I opened my was something I never ever thought would happen. I wasn’t even sure if I was normal anymore. All my ideas of what happened were gone. And I was in a bit of a shock. I opened my eyes and staring down at me from her large eye, was none other than Princess Twilight Sparkle. > Entry #1.5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I was able to move my body, I would have jumped back and ran for my life. Sadly I was not able to. Her eyes looked into mine and I felt as helpless as I was when I was surrounded by blackness. I tried to say something but speech wasn’t accessible to me either. Twilight backed up and I took a look around. It seemed That I happened to come into the story line, Yeah I’m going to call it that for now, Was right after Twilight helped Starlight Glimmer get back in touch with her friend. I say that cause Starlight was standing next to Rainbow Dash. “She looks a tad bit scared,” one of the ponies said. Judging by the accent I knew it was Applejack. “Maybe some space would be nice for her.” “But I wanted to show her my sweet Party Canon! I just got new confetti and it smells great, although it tastes like paper.” I heard a pound as Pinkie Pie obviously fell onto the ground in over exaggerate excitement. I heard some shuffling behind the ponies and Rarity squeezed in between Rainbow and Sunset. “Oh my. Your eyes are gorgeous dear! And your fur looks splendid! Were you a model! I must know! In Fact I must not! You are Hired and I don’t even want an application!” She was excited and I would have blushed if I knew how to. I can only Imagine by Rarity’s reaction that I must be a pony as well. I would be lying if i said I wasn’t. “Rarity! We don’t even know where she came from. You can’t hire her just like that. I mean look at the poor girl she can’t even move, Let alone talk. Plus she looks scared.” I can imagine Rarity doing some dramatic action. “I guess you’re right. Well then Miss, when you recover and need a job-” “Rarity!” Applejack yelled. “Sorry Sorry” I heard her step away. Twilight was rambling about something as she walked over. “According to this report I sent Celestia, It’s not every been known of a Grown pony with no Cutie Mark. She also wrote back saying that no pony of her description has been noted in the registry. No even a Birth certificate.” So I am a full grown pony with no Cutie Mark. “We should wait until she makes a full recovery. We can as questions later. She doesn’t look like she poses a threat.” At least I don’t post a- Hey wait, well I guess being in a place that gets attacked by evil a lot, I guess you would need to be careful who shows up or not. I heard the softest voice I have ever heard in my life speak up. I could only assume it’s Fluttershy. “I….I Agree. We can’t learn Anything. Uhm, she can’t even talk. I agree with Twilight.” I heard everyone start talking. I closed my eyes and sighed. They came to an agreement a minute later and decided that Twilight was correct. Fluttershy and Rarity were going to help her with my healing. According to Twilight it should not take more than a week. Well the week is going to be long and I am going to be in some pain. And I was indeed in pain thinking about it. The walking let alone learning how to use my arms in many exaggerating ways was gonna be the worst part, I can only imagine the difficulty of learning it in a Week. After the whole party left and i was Alone with Twilight, she was already writing her plan to help me “recover” from all my injuries. According to her I hit my head and lost all knowledge of how to walk and do other normal functioning actions. Yet oddly enough I didn’t lose all my memory. Only bits and pieces. It felt like I was dreaming all of this. But it was not a dream. “So. Are you able to speak?” Twilight asked and I raised a brow. “Duh if you were able to speak we wouldn’t be in this little mess haha.” she started laughing a little and then got back to it. “Maybe, we should try some relaxing ointment that Celestia used on you after your battle with Tyrek. You recovered pretty fast Twilight.” I heard Spike enter as Twilight headed over to a bookcase. There always seemed to be bookcases wherever she went it seemed. “Spike! What a great idea! That would help this mare get back to walking but it wouldn’t help with her speech.” She said and walked over to a cupboard and opened it up. Hey, At least its well known to me that I am still a girl in this place. Would have been horrible to get a gender switch. Just imagine learning how to use the restroom all over again in the new gender. I heard some liquid drain from what sounded more or less like a syringe. She walked over to me and applied some of the ointment onto my joints. I could feel the cool liquid splatter onto my skin. “Maybe there is a spell I can use to help her. There might be an off chance she isn’t from Equestria and doesn’t know our language.” Hey, At least its well known to me that I am still a girl in this place. Would have been horrible to get a gender switch. Just imagine learning how to use the restroom all over again in the new gender. My confusion would be through the roof and I am not even sure if I could handle Myself. Although I don't think I should worry. I mean, In Equestria there are ore Female then Males in the population. At from what you see on the show... Now that I am here, I guess I will have to see if it holds true. Twilight walked out of my sight and was discussing spells with Spike. I decided to attempt to move my body. I succeeded but it was only minor spasms of movement. Like when a child is born and they are like “Oh I can move, this is cool” inside their head. Yeah. That’s what was happening to me. I heard something swishy pass by and noticed an owl on a table nearby. It looked different from the one from the TV show. What was its name. Owlicious. That’s right. But compared to the size or what everyone assumed was the size it was black. The eyes of this bird was red and fierce and it was staring at me like it was trying to read my mind. I stared back a little bit panicked. I heard Twilight coming back and I averted my gaze and looked back but the owl was gone. “Whoa. You look scared. Did something happen? A bad memory?” Twilight asked once she got to the side of the bed. "Who am I kidding. We both know that you currently forgot how to speak." I Had a need to attempt speech. I needed to let her know I saw this owl. So I did what I needed to. I attempted speech and thought really hard of a word to say and how to form it. I looked up getting frustrated at myself and then saw Owlicious fly overhead. And I somehow Blurted out “Owl!” loudly. I looked at Twilight with her wide eyes and then everything went from color to black and I passed out.
