And here I am... Talking
"Applejack"
"Correct!"
She pulls up another paper.
"Fluttershy"
"Correct!"
The final piece is laid heavy in her hoof. If he gets this right, she knows what will happen.
She pulls it up.
"Twilight Sparkle!"
She lays down a heavy hoof.
"By your own definition, you are now officially declared as insane."
He beams with pride.
"How did you find out so much already?" She inquires.
"Ive already told you! Ive known for ages!" He retorts. "For the thousandth time, your books had to tell you something about me! At least Pinkie knows what Im on about."
"Yes but," She hesitates. "I always thought she was playing pretend like usual, fantasising the legends she knows, but now that I know she's serious..." Her voice trails off
"You of all people should know to trust her pinkie sense."
"Yes well, we've been over this discussion many times. Im ready to beleive you now."
His face beams with pride for a second time. He has left one of the smartest ponies he knows, dumbfounded, sharing the honour with his idol, the pink fuzzy one.
"You know what this means right?" He asks.
She replies, "Yeah, I know. You can come in now Pinkie, Ill never question your pinkie sense ever again."
Pinkie bounds in ungracefully. "Good, because the next time this happens, I wanna meet him first, not second!"
"Well, I best be heading off." He retorts. "The scientists will want to know whats happened. Glad to find some familiar faces, sorry if my presence startled you."
She steps back, Pinkie by her side. "No, its quite all right. Ive learnt a valuable lesson to trust Pinkie so much more now."
"Well I best be off. Have a good day!" He walks a distance, and then presses a magic little button on the side of his machine, and steps in. He turns to face the two. "Ill see you soon, Im glad to know this place really exists."
And with that, he closes the door and the whole thing disappears.
"Okay Pinkie, what was it this time."
Pinkie chuckles. "A Human! Come on Twilight, Raegdan must have at least told you the name of his species!"
"Who's Raegdan?"
"Oops! Wrong fanfic!"

"So there I was! Just standing there, and all of a sudden she screams at th-"
"She? How do you know its a she?"
"Trust me, I just know. Anyway, I was just standing there and she starts screaming her head off, yelling things about... Another one of them,... And how their predictions were right!"
"So, we become psychics?"
"Well, kind of I guess, all it really depends on is whether or not the other pony really knows her hist-"
"Wait... Pony?.. PONY? There are TALKING, PONIES?"
"Well, I dont know if they'd be ponies anymore, but hey! Who knows! Maybe we end in radiation and it affects the ones we already know?"
"Somehow, I dont think molecules work like that James..."
"Well anyway, as I was saying before I was interrupted for the ten thousa-"
"Just get on with it."
"Ok, anyway, uuh, oh thats right! She was just screaming her head off, and then she just, stops! As if she was only startled, but was actually expecting me."
"So, this... 'Equine' shall we say, just started screaming and then just freakishly stopped, as if having you appear in front of... 'Her'... Was completely normal?"
"Yeah! Even though she couldn't have ANY idea we built this, it was as if she expected me."
"So what happened next?"
"Well, she said hello, and-"
"Wait, you could understand them?"
"Well duh, how do you think I knew who she was talking about the first time?"
Septe paused for a moment.
"Wait, so you knew what... it, was rambling about when you heard a Name? How did you know it was a name?"
"Well... heh, I guess I gotta come forward on that..."
"Wait, Youre holding BACK? THE MOST IMPORTANT THING DISCOVERED IN HISTORY, AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN TELLING US THE WHOLE TRUTH? Oh man, time really messed you up this time now didn't it..."
"Well, actually, if you put it that way... I think time was already messed up in the first place..."
"Explain. I want answers, NOW."
James took a deep breath.
"... I watched TV when I was younger."
Septe listened closely. Waiting for James to continue.
10 seconds passed.
"Thats it?" Inquired Septe. "Thats the only explanation youll give me?"
"Yep, youll figure it out in a moment."
"What, that you watch-"
"Here it comes" muttered James.
"You know, I think I just figured out something even more important today than our future."
"Oh? And whats that?" James sighed.
"I can finally laugh at you about something for the next millenium."
James croaked, "And whats that?"
"That you watched a pony show with great interest."
"Yes, yes I did." Muttered James. "Brony and proud."
"What?"
"Nothing! Nothing."
"No its something. You said 'Brony'. What is that, a mix between 'Bro' and 'Pony'?"
This concept suddenly fascinated Septe more than the Equine adventure.
James gulped, for the third time. Then all of a sudden, he sat up, with a glint of humility, and dismissed all feelings of Nausea.
"Yes."
"Well, finally! Something of interest!"
"Oh? How so?"
"I can laugh at you even harder now!"
"Oh Shut up."
- Well, that's pretty much All I stayed around to find out. I couldn't be bothered watching this dull conversation continue. Quite the encounter I must say! It's one of the most Unique among my travels. Anyway, so what exactly is going on here? I know names and some dates but why did this happen in the first place? I still can't figure that out...
So can you help?
