> The Twilight connection > by Midnight Starwriter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Coincidence: update 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's start from the beginning before the MLP: FIM show first aired. The time will take place in 1997. Just keep in mind that the truth is much stranger than fiction.... When I was a kid around the age of 10 years old, and my life is going through its turmoil. I have watched my parents fighting with each other over something me and my siblings did or didn't do. I was angry that I couldn't do anything to stop it because I was too young. Even if I try, I'll end up being hurt, and the world to me seems dark at the time because of all that. In those times, I just go to my room and try very hard to ignore it by playing games or play with my sisters. There is this one time I was in my room looking out the window and saw a shooting star, and it made me smile, knowing that I could make a wish. Yet that shooting star had a color to it and it looked purple or lavender in a way but I still that made a wish after seeing it. "I wish I could meet my guardian angel someday, and go on an adventure of a lifetime." I said. Then I went off to my bed and go to sleep. I started to have this dream of some lavender color pony with wings and a horn. That just came up to me and gives me a hug and then tells me that she'll be looking after me. She also says that she is hoping that I can help her out with something important someday. I recall saying one word in return, and it was "yes." She smiles, then the dream fades away, and I woke up from that dream and try to think of its meaning if there is one. Because I rarely get them and some times they can get weird when I sleep. Yet this one, I felt that hug and the way it went, seems too real. This was just a strange and random dream to me, and I thought nothing more of it, or so I have thought. As time moves forward, I did have many of those types of dreams since after that one. I do hope I get to see more of her, only time can tell. Moving forward in time about 12 years and the date was 08/26/2010. I was getting myself a new Laptop, but I was limited to a few hundred dollars in my pocket, so I wasn't going to get something fancy. I went for the cheapest one I can get at the time, and I wasn't too big on how it looks. All I cared about was getting a laptop and just going on to the internet to check out my favorite fandoms. I head out to the store that was nearby my home, and it wasn't too much of a drive to get there. Once I got there, I ask the store clerk to help me out with a laptop. She showed me their choices, and I pointed out the computer that I wanted to buy from them. She tells me that she'll check in the back of the store if they got any more to sell. Luckily they did have a few in stock, but they only came in one color, and that is lavender with sparkling glitter on it. I knew it was girly looking at the time, but I didn't care one bit and bought it anyway. I was in joy to get it even though it was this color, I still didn't care for any reason. Given the times that we're living in, it just seems to be ok for a guy to get something like that. That's why I didn't care, but I was also young too, and somewhat confused about life. After leaving the store and getting to my car and sitting there with joy and I couldn't wait for myself to get home to open it. I just open it in the car, and the first thing I see was that color it had. I then set in the battery and started it up and begin to set up my new laptop to my personal use, and then one question came up when I was doing this. "Name for this computer?" This is all it asks for at this point after setting up its settings. "I can give it a name? Cool..." I say to myself. So I gave its name, and that name will have some meaning to it later on, but I didn't think of anything about it. I only thought of one character that I made up, and her name is Sparkle that had a similar color to her as well. After that, I have no idea what is about taking place ahead in time for my future friends and me. After this and going forward a little bit in time, I moved to a new place in later October of 2010. As I was getting settled into my new home for now. I was getting ready to go to sleep and thinking of what cool things will happen in my new home. I let shut my eyes then I had a dream about that odd-looking lavender color pony again, but this time there weren't any words to be heard. She levitated an object and float towards me; it was something shiny and golden. Then I finally hear her telling me this. "This is a gift from me to you and when you receive it... Come and find me, I'll be waiting for you..." This is all she said to me. I try to answer back to her, but I couldn't say anything, or try moving. All I did is just stand there and watch this golden object coming towards me, and it was getting brighter like the sunrise in the morning. Till I couldn't see any more besides this glorious golden light, and then I woke up. I look around to see if I did get anything, so far nothing and then I leave it like that again, it was just a dream. It was morning, and so I got up and start my day as usual as it can be. This is where it gets weird for me in the long run because the next events that follow didn't make much sense at first until I started to look into it. Before that happens first off, let's go to a different date in the story, let's go with the date of 01/24/2011. I was at Further Confusion, and I was enjoying my favorite things to do over there like cosplays, sharing art, and dancing. Until I've noticed something posted all over the walls in the venue of the con and my friends at the time told me about it. I look to where these pictures are at, and it was that lavender unicorn and her friends. For some odd reason, I feel like I have met this unicorn, but it didn't ring much of a bell for me. So once again I didn't overthink so much about it. I went ahead and read what it says, and it talks about is this new mlp, and they are having a meeting about it. At first, I was like any other guy that see things like this and think to myself. (So this is going to be new to the furry fandom like any cartoon, anime, or game character that I've seen before and become part of this fandom. Well, I'll welcome them since their new on the seen here. Also isn't this show for little girls? Oh well, to each their own, I guess...) That's what my thoughts are going with at the time. After the events of the con, I was left with joyful thoughts in my mind. All of my friends were all talking about the things at the con and the new mlp generation showing up. My thoughts just continue with what I had done at the convention, and I did not think about anything else. A little bit later on, I decided to hang out with some of my friends at a restaurant, and this place is where everyone in the fandom likes to go to and hang out. We all talk about everything in the fandom, from awesome fursuits, to what we did in the last con. One of my friends wanted to play a video about these characters named Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. This was the first PMV that I ever watched, and this video has the most cussing in one video that I ever watch, and it was funny as hell. Because of how cute and innocent they look and singing the foulest mouth song ever. After that, it did leave me interested in this show. I still remember how it opens up, see that lavender unicorn that was telling her pink friend that she didn't steal her song. With nothing but laughter and smiles from hanging with some awesome people. I left for home, and all I had on my mind is that video and the whole pony thing, and it only made me more curious about it even more. I started to looking into it and find out that this small group of people has started their own fandom and it was independent and innocent at first, but I still choose not to watch the show or look up anything else about it, besides the honest part about them. I did come across one image of that lavender unicorn again with the meme about love and tolerance. I wanted to know a little bit more about and her name, and once I did learn about her and finding this all interesting, about her and her friends. I was left a few questions about it, but I was too tired, so I went off to bed and left with that image of her in my mind. Then I did had a dream about her, but it was hard to remember how it went down. I can only recall seeing her trying to reach for me like she needed help, but I don't know how to react. Trying to tell me something but no words to be heard and only her lips are just moving. I can barely make out what she is saying to me. The best I could come up with is. "Look out for her... She will hurt you... If she did, look for me..." I try to make out what else she is trying to say but I can't. Then I try to say something but I can't as well, but I move my hand toward Twilight as did she the same with her hoof. When I did that the one thing I've noticed is that my hand looks like a hoof as well. After that, everything went black. I woke up breathing heavily, and I was looking at both hands to make sure it was a dream, then I started to think to myself. Like what does that dream meant because they have meanings to them sometimes? All I look into the internet to some sort of an answer to my crazy dreams but all of lead to other conclusions. Like to what have you eaten, lucid dreaming, or my subconscious making it up from what I saw before. There was one I did found on it, but it just gives something simple to what I see it in. Like items, people, places, and things that happen to you from the past. Not getting the answers that I want and I know that these dreams have more meaning to them because of how real they felt to me. Moving forward in time towards October in 2011. I did have a girlfriend, and I was starting to believe that my life is almost complete, but the thing is that it wasn't so perfect, to begin with. When I realized the girl, I was with, left me for another man. That left me heartbroken, and I know I did my best to keep her happy, I guess it wasn't enough for her. Now feeling depressed and the only thing I had left is my laptop, a bottle of booze and my friends on the internet that ever now and then mention about mlp and how it helps them out with their depression in life. I know that this year is about to end, but I was too depressed to even care how it will the year ends, or anything for that matter. Yet I did more reading about the things that this show did for people out there. I decided to check out the fandom again, and it was growing over time. From the troubles they have gone through, or how awkward they felt towards the furry fandom and don't see themselves. I don't blame them for being new to the world. Going through what's left of that year and start of the first month of 2012. I did go to my favorite con, and this time I have noticed a lot more things about mlp: fim this time. I still pay much attention to it, and I just continue like I always have. There is this one time I have one of my roommates go do a commission with an artist, of this anthro looking horse that was purple and tattoo of a star on her butt. Kinda look familiar to me, but not that much to ring any bells. I did have fun there like every year that I have gone to it before I even know it. The con was over, and now I'm back at home still feeling lonely and bored out of my mind. With nothing else better to do, I finally made up my mind and just wanted to watch the show. I know that I haven't watched it in the first place and I did kinda have been avoiding it since I first heard of it. Here I was going to Netflix looking up the show and pick a random one since there were two seasons at the time. I went with the second season, and it was the first episode of this season. From there I heard the name of this lavender pony going against this crazy looking beast called Discord. I remember him mocking her, trying his hardest to stop them in saving Equestria. Just when hope seemed lost, Twilight turn it around, and her friends used the Elements of Harmony against him, and I watch Discord turn to stone. After watching that first two episodes, I ended up binge-watching from the beginning of season one till the last episode of season two, and I did follow it in the middle of season two. From there, I was like, "I want to watch more of this show." But unfortunately I had reached the end of season two and the next season won't be coming around much later on in the year of 2012. This is when I start to really look into the fandom and begin to be a part of it. I then came across this website fimfiction.net and wanted to read all the impressive things this site has to offer. After first my reading of this story about Lyra and her epic adventures in the human world. How she found out that she was human, to begin with, and got stuck in their world. Reading this story only made me wonder if I had some sort of a connection with their world because I like to think like that for fun. Little do I know that I could be right about it. One day I looked into my laptop because it was kinda running slow, so I check on it, and it's reporting on how it was doing for every time that I used it. I've noticed the date when I first turn it on to the last one. Then for some reason, I wanted to check out the dates for the pilot episodes and the first aired episode of MLP: FIM. I found out the pilot episode was on in October a couple months before I got my laptop and coincidentally naming it Sparkle. The more I think about this. The more that this mystery gets more profound as in to why did that happen, as a coincidence. All I could think about is that I did something that I didn't even know. "Did I just predicted that this show would come to pass? Or it's just my imagination?" I tell myself. Realizing that I did something without even thinking about it. I had to look into it more, but my research ended with me just having a laptop that is lavender in color, and it is named Sparkle. My thoughts continue with that idea even till I go to sleep. When I did, I have that dream again about Twilight. Seeing that she is in some sort of trouble and trying to reach for me, but this time, I can hear her calling out my name. Yet the name she shouted out didn't sound like my name at all but hearing it sounds familiar to me. I do recall the name, and it was Midnight, she has called out to me. I wanted to call her name, but once again I couldn't say anything to her and when I try. I just woke up again from it but with a little bit more info about this dream and this is the only time that this happens in this way. This was in the middle of the night, yet I want to know more so I try again and put myself to sleep but I couldn't. When I did, I woke up the next day. ... As time moves forward, I finally made up my OC, and it was a he, at first. I decided to name it Midnight Star, till I've decided to change it to a mare. Then finally I change up the last name a bit more. To fully put it, it's Midnight Starwriter and going by the initials of M.S. For now, and I also did a drawing of this mare. I knew I was a guy and all, but I'm not confused, or anything of such I knew who I am in life, I just wanted to do a female version of myself. As a way to express myself as an artist. I finally join this website by September in 2012 just to read and write whatever comes to mind. ... So far time keep moving, and nothing much has happened since then, life just went on for me. Till one day I was cleaning out some old stuff on my kitchen table that has been sitting there for a while in my home and found something that I should have got in the mail that I didn't get to for some reason. The date I was in 09/15/14, but the mail that I got is a package. I took it to my room and looked at it and notice a date on it and it was dated for 10/08/10, but this didn't add up. I didn't move to this place a little after this date, and it didn't make much sense over this; it was like someone out there was watching me or stalking me. I decided to open it and was a small package and out of it came out a small box that is colored a sky blue with a bow on it of the same color. Then I open the box and found a golden necklace with a heart with wings pendant but oddly it looks like one of the Elements of Harmony. Once I pick up the piece of jewelry out the box, there was a note in it, and I took out that note as well and read it. With this piece of jewelry, there is the power of the heart and wings. Before you adorn this piece, purify it with water and afterward by sunlight. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and say: I wish to listen to my heart, so I can fly for myself. So I did as it says and put it on and when I did, I could feel this static energy coming from it when I put it on. Then that voice came along and called my name, but it wasn't my "real" name. It went off my OC's name instead. I try to communicate with it but no luck. After that, I slept with it on to see if anything would come to me in a dream. I did get one, and it was that same dream of Twilight being in trouble and trying to reach for me. I try to reach for her as well. As I did this, I notice that my hand looks weird. Instead of a hand, I see a hoof and that moment. Time seems to slow down as I was shocked to see that in my dream, and then I just woke up again. I was covered in sweat and breathing heavily, looking around my room, seeing that I was still here. I can't help but think how real that dream felt to me when I looked at my hand or hoof in this case. I shook my head, and I believe that this is just a dream. Yet despite that, I want to believe that this is just a pure coincidence when I think about it logically. This still didn't add up, I had to find the answers, but how? ... Once again, time moves forward to the date of 09/26/15 and nothing much happened besides my normal life like going to work, pay bills, and visiting friends and family, and taking care of my home. I still follow the show of MLP and what's going on with the fandom on the net. This part might get some spoilers, sorry. I got to watch movie of E.G: F.G. as I was watching the climax of the film I saw Twilight of the mirror world has transformed into Midnight Sparkle and that moment I paused the movie and thought about this initials wised. I realized once again another coincidence with Twilight, but this time it's her evil counterpart because my OC's initials are M.S. I had to stop myself right there because who else in the fandom has a similar initial around the fandom. My attempt to keep my mind sane from going utterly insane from all of these weird facts that have a connection with me, and this pony show. I did tell others in the fandom about this coincidence that I have. Most of them do believe in what I have said to be real and find it interesting. I hope I find my answers to my connection with Twilight. ... Moving up to the present time. Up to this day, I have to keep on coming across these weird coincidence as time keeps moving. I go visit this place in southern Washington called ECETI ranch. The only reason I visit this place because I had a dream that I went to this place in the middle of nowhere, it also told me about Q and show me the symbol of the pendant that I have. Once I finally got there, I have this weird feels of peace. I meditate on the necklace and crystal that I have on me. I heard a voice, and it told me this. "Your time is coming soon keep following the signs in your dreams, and in numbers that are paired in three and four." This is all I heard. This is starting to drive me crazy every day trying to understand why do I have this weird connection with Twilight. I came up with the idea to use a crystal and that pendant, but I put it to the side. After a few days the gone by when I got back from that ranch. I finally made up my mind and try to meditate with a quartz crystal on my forehead while wearing the pendant. Just to see if I can trigger something, anything really because of all of these coincidences that keep happening in my life till now. It has become too much for me. As I laid there in my bed and my eyes shut, I put all of my focus on Twilight and her world. I started to feel my body to lighten up like I was weightless and then a flash of light happens, and then I was knock out. I was waking up to find myself falling in space and seeing many stars going by me. I looked around me just to see the blackness of space and the only light source is stars, I don't know what I did to get myself there, but I feel calm. Then another light came in, and it was like I was getting pulled in by it, but I couldn't fight or try to get away from it. I just went towards it, and the feeling that I get was like a weight coming off my chest, and the feeling of pure love, then everything went black again.... > Waking up to a headack with more questions. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I felt like I was in a pure state, then I realized that I don't feel like myself anymore. I had kept my eyes closed as flashing lights before me made it hard to tell what's going on. Then finally it goes dark and fell silenced for that moment I try to move but I couldn't. After that, I have the sense of falling down and then hitting the ground. I was too weak to move for some reason, so I just laid there and rest for now. I finally wake up to find myself to be no longer in my room, but I was on an open playing field. I try to rub my eyes because of how bright it is. When I did this action, I stop for a moment to look at my hands. Then I realize my hands are no longer in that form, that I'm so familiar with having for so long. So I just freak out and scream at the top of my lungs. I quickly look at the rest of my body, and I realized that I was no longer a human... I've been turned into a pony somehow....? "What the hell happen to me!" I yelled. I stop myself and notice my voice is different... I don't have my male voice any longer. Now I have this female voice. Now this is becoming too much for me, and I passed out again from all the shock my mind couldn't handle it. Then I hear voices trying to wake me up. I started to move and look around again trying to see who is calling me, but all I see is blur figures around me. I realize something is off about my vision, and it is more off than what it used to be. I knew that my vision was somewhat bad but not this bad. I look down and notice a part of glasses I try to pick them up with my clumsy hooves, and trying not to break them. Finally, I manage to get them on my face. Once I did get them on, I look around, and spot who was calling me and all I could see is this figures as my vision cleared up. I try to get up, but I just trip and fell into the grass and dirt. "Can you help me out over here! I can't move very well...!" Calling to that voice. As this figure came up to me, from that distance. From what I can tell is that it's a pony... (A pony but why...?) This pony is mint green and have a harp on her flank. She looked concern as in what happen to me. "Midnight are you Ok!?" She asked. I shook my head and looked back at her. She lends out a hoof, and I reach to her and once I had her hoof she picks me up. "Midnight I hope that you're ok. Because you got, hit hard in the head by that buckball. Maybe you should sit this one out and let me take over for now." She explains to me. I felt my head and found a bump on it and then I found a horn. Now this is confusing the hell out of me for some reason. Since I'm a brony, I would jump for joy, for being in Equestria. For some reason, I'm not, and my head just plains out hurt. Another thought comes to mind is why I'm in this mare's body? From what I can tell this one have a life already of her own, yet I just took over her life. At this point, I want to continue questioning everything that's going on. Now I would have just to go with it and figure out what's going on here. Like why I'm a pony instead of a human and why that pendent took me here? And one other thing is where is Twilight and how come I'm not meeting her? I am just going to have to go with what I've got here and talked to Lyra. Since she still believes that I'm this pony that she knows. Just like a changeling but not a real one. "I'll be ok, and yea I'll sit this one out. Oh, can I talk to you Lyra, right after this game?" I ask. "Uh... Yea... Sure thing Midnight. Well, see you at the end of the game." She replies with a raised brow. As soon as I start to trot over to the bench to sit down. I was kind of stumbling my way through it like I was drunk. Once I made my way to it, I trip one last time, and I fell over the bench and hitting my face into the ground. Once I finally got myself sitting on it I started to watch this game that they are playing, it seems interesting. I was so confused here that all I can think about is, who is this pony that I took over and why? The more I think about it, the more my head just hurts. I look for some water around here and found a water dispenser nearby and go to it. As I did this and look at myself in the reflection of the water jug I stop for the moment to check myself out. When I looked at myself for the first time, I realized that I looked exactly like my OC. For one I had the midnight blue color body, and my mane and tail is cerulean with a strip of purple for their colors. I have red glasses on, a red bow, and this red and black tie around my neck. Finally, I looked at my cutie mark and saw how I always make it to looked on my OC, a star that is being drawn with a white feather and a few smaller stars next to it. These coincidences are becoming too weird for me, and I quickly move to get some water and return to continue watching what's going on with the game. ... Once the game is over Lyra made her way to my side and sat next to me in an upright fashion. I know from the fandom that she is an anthropologist or a big fan of humans. I guess she can help me out with this predicament I'm in because anybody or pony will just think that I'm crazy. "Lyra...? I need to ask you something..." "What is it Midnight?" "That's the thing, Lyra. I'm not the Midnight that you know, I am someone else and not from this world." She just looked at me like, if that ball hit me hard enough to knock out more than just a few screws loose. She put her hoof on my shoulder and give me another concerned look. "Midnight what are you talking about. Because you are really starting to get me, worry about you. Do we need to go to the hospital and get you check out? Because I think you might have a concussion." "No, I'm fine. I'm just not used to this pony's body. Anyways, what do you know about humans?" I murmur. Lyra just has her mouth open and look at me. Then she looks to the right and then to the left and finally back at me. "Ssshhhh....." She quickly looks left and right. "You're going to have to come with right now....! Come on let's go...!" She says out of concern. We start to move off, and I was stumbling along to a more closed off area where nopony can hear us or see what we're doing. ... "Ok, Midnight or whoever you are. Just what gotten into you? Because we don't usually talk about humans in public areas, they're like a taboo here. Plus we don't break that rule in our group. And once again you are really starting to worry me out." She has a hoof on her chest. "Ohh... I didn't know, I'm... I'm sorry for that, Lyra. Well, anyways I was a human before I got here. I was trying to get an answer by using a pendant and a crystal then things got out of hand, now I find myself here in your friend's body. I don't mean to hurt anypony or your friend here. All I can ask you is for some help." "So you're saying you were a human? Rriigghhtt... Like the many other times. You did that when you were a filly. I know that game so will that you can't fool me, this time. All I can say is, whatever you say Midnight. If you truly are one and claim to be one that has no clue of who I am... Then how come you know my name?" As she gives off a sassy attitude towards me. "Lucky guess... Look you don't have to believe me about this really, but I was a human before this happens, Lyra. I'm being honest about it. If you want to know more about the humans, let me know." "Ok, human person that is trap in my friend's body. I'll help you out with what you need. Just tell me one thing... What is it like to be a human?" She smiles slowly and tills her head a bit. "Well for starter it's kinda boring, and they make life hard on you. The only thing that makes it, worth it to be one is the technology they made." I answer her. "Really!?" It was as she was taken back by what I said. "Yea. For some reason, humanity isn't all that kind to itself. We had wars and fight each other over small things to big ones but there is some that just want to be left in peace and some be willing to fight for it. One other thing about us is we always wanting to learn more and use our imagination and knowledge to make reality and our lives less stressful for ourselves." I hold my hoof to my chest as I tell this. Lyra smiled at my answers so far. I can tell she wanted to go on about this topic, yet the both of us sit down for the moment. We stop just to take in our surroundings. Lyra went ahead and changed the subject that we're on. "Midnight... If it's ok that I call you that? Or do you want to be call by your human name?" She blushes a little. I did tell her my real name, and I was a male. She looked more curious about my name and who I was. It seems like she heard of it before somewhere. "Anyways it's fine that you call me Midnight for now, so we don't confuse anypony of who I am. So Lyra is there any way I can meet Twilight Sparkle?" "Oh... Uhhh... That's the thing, Midnight. Ha, ha...." As she has her hoof laying on the back of her head, and looking down to the ground. "What's going on, Lyra?" "Well, the last time I've heard about Twilight that she is on a friendship mission and is away from Ponyville, and she won't be back till it's finished. As for us, we're in a Buckball tournament in Los Alicorns, and we won't be heading back to Ponyville anytime soon." She weakly smiles. "Oh... Ok... So how far are we in this tournament?" "We're just getting started, and we have long ways to go since we win our first game. Hey, you should meet our teammates, they'll be in the locker room getting ready for some practice later on. Also, this game gotten popular after the Appleloosa game and spread throughout Equestria, and our team's name is The Gold Rushers in case you're wondering. We're only doing this for fun and a prized at the end of it." She smiled. I just sit there for a moment and already know that I suck at sports, and I don't know who is on the team or how this game works. I have to say something to about this. "Lyra... I don't even know how to play this game here. Also, you and I would have to play around like I have amnesia because I don't know how the game works or who is playing on this team of ours. And one more thing that is, I'll try my best to help win in these games." I weakly smile. Lyra smiled and got up, and I did the same thing as well. "Well Midnight, our teammate's names are, Bon Bon, Berry Punch, Cloudchaser, and Derpy." She explains. "We have Derpy on our team!? Awesome! I know them all.... I mean.... I don't..." I react in a way to all of their names and adding a weak smile to boot. "Yea, she is, and she is great at the game. Are you sure that you are ok, Midnight?" She raises a brow "Yes I am, Lyra. I will explain to you why I know about everypony names for another time, ok. It'll make this story too long to go on." "I'm just making sure that you are because you got hit. Anyways once we are done, with these games and go back home. You're going to tell me everything about your kind and how you know so much about everything here. You got that!" I nod my head and agreeing to her demands. "Ok, Lyra..." Then all of a sudden my head starts to spins like crazy, and I can't any longer stand up or see then I just fell to the ground and everything goes black. I hear Lyra screaming my name and that's was the last thing I hear... ... I wake up back in my room and looking around and feeling like I got hit by a ton of bricks, way worse than a hangover too. I could barely move my body, but my head can still move. I look at the phone for time to gather my barring's. I just can't believe that this happens to me, that my body slept through out the weekend. Knowing that it's Monday, and I have to go to work for the week. So I did my best to get out of bed, but I feel like to much like crap. Once I did manage to get out of bed, I only feel like I have been drink the weekend away. Deciding to just call in for the day because of how I feel. After doing that I head for the bathroom just to look at myself. When I did this I've notice something on my forehead. "Wwhaat...?! Is that a horn." I said to myself. Terror is the only feeling that I have at this point. I started to stress out because of this. Like how I'm going to, go about my day to day business in life with this horn on my head. I can't really hind it from the world around me. I know that I'm self-conscience, and my low self-esteem doesn't help either. Looking at these facts I could only come up with one thing and that is to go back to Equestria, soon. I didn't care if I lose my life as a human here. In the end I have to, not because of how sucky my life is. Because I'm link to Twilight somehow, and this only makes me want to try again. > Night Mare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Still feeling like crap, I head for my bed. Knowing that I have this horn on my forehead and my only guess about this is that crystal that I left on my forehead. Somehow it turns into this horn, and it changed colors to a dark blue color. What am I going to do now with this horn on my head? I can't hind the damn thing, but I haven't really try to use it yet. This did give me the idea to try it out. So I sit on my bed and try to see if I can use magic like the unicorns from their world. I place a plushie of Fluttershy, and I try to see if anything could happen to it. I watched it slowly starts to float, but the amount of energy that I was putting in is starting to give me a killer headache. So I just stop and let it go for now because I still feel weak. I'll try this again later I guess. I move towards and just crash into my bed and laid there. Feeling everything that is going in circles, and slowly moving faster by the minute. All I can do is keep my eyes closed, and hope that I don't puke. I can feel it slowly stopping. Then everything goes black for the moment; then I open my eyes. Only to see that I'm surrounded by snow, and it was dark, yet I could only see the moonlight shining in the cold darkness. Shadows are the only things moving around in a place like this; the winds have been blowing to get the bare trees to move. Finally, I see another light in the darkness. A green light is glowing from afar, inviting me to come closer to it. So I walk towards it while looking around along the way. Because you never know in dreams like this, they can always be unpredictable at times. As I made my way towards the light, I've noticed that it took on a form of a pony. I took a step back as I was close enough to see the figure. Then I hear her voice, and it was familiar to me for some reason. Like I've heard it before, but I have no recollection of this voice. "Come with me... I've been waiting for you... For a long time..." She said. She turned around and started trot away from me. I followed her to an old house that I used to live in it before. From what I recall this place was haunted by a little girl who has been coming to my room and played with my things at night. As for now, my thoughts went back to the front door that now I'm facing, and then I opened it. Once I got inside of my old home, and I saw her or that little girl heading down the hallways towards my old room. As I followed suit after her, and I made my way towards my old room's door in the house. There I was just standing there looking at it, wondering what lie inside of my old room. I know that I've been following her to this place other times in my dream before, but for what, I will not know, till now. So I open it just to have a look in there, and I saw her sitting on my bed staring at me. I could barely tell how she looks like besides an outline of her silhouette. "What is it that you want, and just who are you!?" I ask the shadow as I took one step into the room. The door closed on it own behind me. She tills her head and smiles. Then she raised a hoof up and points at me. "Who am I...? Why? I am you, the real you..." She says while smiling at me. "No, no, no...! That's impossible to be true!" As I cross my arms and stand firmly looking at her. She stops for a moment and then lights up the room with her magic. As the room lights up, I can see who is sitting before me. It was her my OC, and she is happy to see me. "It's like I said before, I am you. Let me explain why you think that it's impossible. I know that you are a human, to begin with, in life but that is not true. The reason is that I became you but forgot who I was." She sighed then continues. "It all started when I was in the lab of Twilight's home. I was helping her with the mirror that leads to some other world. She told me that it would show you an alternate version of yourself that is destined to happen. I couldn't help but look into it, and that's when I notice that I was in a human form, and I was a male in the mirror. After seeing that, I don't know what to make of it." As she places her hoof on her chin and then looked away from me then back. "Twilight did show me a way to this world on the other side of the mirror. We did decide to go through the mirror to test a theory to see if I would change into that form. Once we got through it, I was still in a female form of this mirror world. Me and Twilight were both in shock at the fact that I was in a male form shown by the mirror. Twilight was standing next to me, and she was just as confused as me. We both move back to our world try to get to the bottom of this. Both of us started to research and using spells that we found that should take me to you. But I screwed up one of the spells and send me to your world reborn as you. The one thing I remember before I left my world was Twilight reaching out to me and telling me. 'That she'll be doing everything that she can to get me back home safe.' After that everything went black... I was transformed or reborn in a new form in a world that I don't even get to know about yet. I was beginning to lose my memories of who I was. Once that started, I did the one thing to keep most of it by using our subconscious mind to hide until the right time to gain it back." As she looks down, then back up. "Wait, wait, wait a minute. That still doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, I did enter your world and just come back from it. Now that I'm here in this dream world trying to understand why this is happening to me. Here I am talking to you... Or arguing with myself, somehow." I quickly placed my hand on my face and wiping it. "Anyways I'm just lost with all of this... From what I understand here is that I am you, but I don't remember who I was after being reborn or transformed. It sounds to me that you probably died and reincarnated into me. Tell me Midnight, if this is true then how come I don't pick up any memories of that life?" As I have my hands out in front of me. "Anon, you already have started way before you found this fandom or any of this about my world. The only memories you did get is by dreams and visions of our past." I just stood there thinking what to say next. "The one part that I went through is just part of the past. That one felt way too real to be just like that if anything. I know this place is a dream and going there is like a dream come true. But.. But... This whole thing just blows my mind." As I scratch my head. "I know this is a dream to you, but I'm being real to you about this matter. Just look into your heart and know that we are one in the same... Twilight has been a part of this, and she is doing this to save us. Because she is our mother in Equestria... You see, you were not born as a human but turn into one and was adopted. The parents we had, did what they could to raise us. Have you ever wonder about why you don't feel part of the family. Or the times you ask your mother if you were adopted. Don't you recall at least something out of what I've been talking you about?" "What do mean I was adopted..? I know that they love me like family but hearing you telling me that. Only confirms that I felt out of place this whole time and they have been lying to me about my past. What that only leaves me is that my parents are not my true parents and my real mother and father haven't done much to get me back. So where does that leaves me? Am I truly doomed to be like this..?" I was starting to tear up but held back tears. Midnight looked down and sighed. "No... The only reason why Twilight has been taking so long is that she doesn't want to fall into the same path that I took. So she did what she had to do, and that is finding another way. She did find a way to get a message across to us since I ended up here. Remember the wish you made of that shooting star it was her trying to find a way back to you." I remain silent as she continues. "You know after the events in Twilight's home after looking into the mirror. I try to calm myself down by playing some buckball just to take my mind off of what I had seen. That's when I got hit in the head, and I thought I was human for the day. I know the name that you have is something I use long ago as a joke, but to make the story short. After leaving the hospital leaving and going back to that mirror to use that spell just to take me to you. I ended up using the wrong spell, but luckily there is one nice thing about magic. The thing is that this spell will undo its self over a long period of time as a failsafe. Now the time has come for you to awaken as your true self." "Ok. So I'm going to end up turning into a pony?" She nods as I processed with what I was talking about. "How could this be possible if we're different from each other. I mean I don't believe in magic or anything else of that topic. I only see that I'm a human being and you're a pony. This idea you are feeding me doesn't add up to me. I would have to go with the fact that I went to Equestria in your body, and it felt way too real. Also, I made you up so I can be part of the fandom that I like so much. This shouldn't be happening, but it is. This is way too crazy to be real, and only a dream can make this to happen..." "Anon I know what you just said is somewhat hurtful to hear, but I understand. So typical me worry about the little things and denying, what doesn't go with logic." She looks down with a frustrated expression on her. "Anon... I-I just wanted to let you know that we are fated to go back to Equestria... I know that it still doesn't make any sense at first, but once you see in your heart, then it does. I know it will be strange at first but familiar. All I have to say is that I've been quite far too long, but I saw it all. Other than that, you need to stop denying what is about to happen. The spell is about to be over, and I'm afraid that the effects will change to who we were once before we became human." I just stood there taking in what she is saying. Then for some reason, an idea pops in, and I had to ask her a few questions. "So then let me ask you this?" I ask her as she nods her head. "If this is really going to happen to me? How come I didn't even thought of you in the first place?" She looks to the left then back to me. "Well, how I could put it to you this way. You did but forgot, when you're young. Then again I am in a dream as well, just arguing with myself. You know how much that made me sound like I'm crazy here, right?" As she held her hoof in front of her. I stood there and then reply. "You know what I'm just going to call this bullshit and wake up." Midnight just sits there thinking what to say next. "Well if you do that you'll just wake up wondering why you turn into a pony, Anon. Once you do wake up from this dream, you'll see yourself in the mirror. And I didn't explain to you about anything..." She just looks away and takes a deep breath then looks back to Anon. "You'll see yourself as a pony, and no longer as a human, but you'll remember everything before the transformation..." As her eyes began giving away tears. After hearing that the voice she'd had was being to sound like mines, but still in a higher pitch. Anon takes a step back and then look towards the mirror in the room he was in. Once he did that, it only left him in shock to realize that he did become her but he was still in his clothes. Then he looks towards the bed where the pony in question was sitting at. She was gone, and then he quickly looks for her but nowhere to be found in the room. Suddenly he hears her voice. "Don't you worry Anon, this is going to happen because we have been stuck in this world for far too long. Just keep in mind we have to get back to Equestria. For that part, I do not know yet, but we will find the way..." Just like that, the room went black and then the feeling of falling begins. Finally the sense of hitting the ground happen. ... Waking up to the feeling of hitting the ground wrapped up in, blankets. I woke up and found myself on the floor of my room. I started to look around and notice something is different about the room. Everything seems to be a little bit bigger. I tried to get up, but I couldn't, it was like I was off balance, and I was on all fours for some reason. Just by looking to one of my hands and realizing that they are no longer hands but of hooves. This only made my Monday worst then it was before. "Noo...!" I yield. Then I decided to just lay there for the time being trying wake up from this nightmare. > Awaking Memories > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After laying there for a while my mind went into a full-on panic mode, my breathing and my heart rate went through the roof. I was right. At what have I said to myself here. "What am I going to do? Am I doomed or am I saved?" Then this weird feeling I'm starting to get. It is something that I haven't felt before. This feeling is hard to describe, and all I know is that this is a feeling that I haven't felt before in a very long time. It's like having a huge weight taking off my chest. This did calm me down; I reached a level of relaxation that is beyond anything that I felt before. It's like a weird sense of a high; that is done without doing any hardcore drugs. Those are the best ways to experience highs without killing yourself over it. Aside from this high, that I'm getting. All of a sudden, some of my past life memories are slowly starting to come back to me. Then it just stops for some reason and not given me all of my memories just yet. My feelings are all mixed up from being sad, happy, angry, and a whole torrent of emotions. The only running thought I'm getting is that I'm still in this human world. No one to turn to but my closest friends, and family that I have to go by in this world. Because I know that they would be the only ones to help me out. I guess I'm lucky enough to know that some of my friends are fans to mlp. As for family they just don't care what I'm into as long as I'm not hurting myself. The next thing I thought about is how am I going to go about the streets out there. I know that I live in a city and being seen by anybody would only lead to confusion and problems. I have to get a hold of someone that I know but who...? So I head to my laptop that I have sitting on my desk. Getting into my chair was easy enough, but typing was the next challenge. I just sit there looking at my hooves and the keyboard. I thought to myself that I should try using my magic to see if I can type anything really. I close my eyes and focus on the keyboard. After a while, I started to hear the keyboard beginning to make some noises. Then I open my eyes just to see what is going on. I can see that my magic aura is glowing around it. Oddly enough this is somehow working. So I type away, making a few messages to send out to some friends just to see if any of them would come over. Hey Jason, can you come over and help me out. I have this problem, and I'm going to ask you this. Please don't freak out, and don't tell anybody about this. This problem is very serious. This message I've sent out to one of them. Sitting there hoping that one of them would reply. ... After what feels like hours for any of them to reply. I've finally got one. I did read it and what it said only puts me down for a moment. Sorry bro. I can't come over I'm out of town, for now, I wish I can help you out. I hope it's not too bad of a thing that you can't get yourself out of. I'll be over in like a week.] (Damn...) This is all I can think to myself at the time. (Well I guess I'm going to have to think of something else here. I know that I can't be seen by anyone and if they do... I don't just want to imagine what will be the outcome of that one.) Just sitting there knowing that I'm doomed... I need to find a way, to make this all ok... for myself... Making my next move, I look for my phone to see who else can help me. I know typing with magic was somewhat easy enough now I'll have to try my luck on my phone. Picking it up from the nightstand and then pull out a stylus from it and begin to use it. Going over my list of friends. So I start to text on my phone and send a message out to another friend. [Hey Chris. If you are not busy can you come over? I'm going to need your help, and please don't freak out when you see me once you get here.] After sending I begin to wait in my room. Then I move from there to see what else can I do with my original body. So I try to use my magic again that's if I could remember any of them. I look towards that Fluttershy plushie, then I try to move it. Closing my eyes for a brief moment and then I could feel my horn warm up with a tingling feeling. Opening my eyes to see my Fluttershy plushie floating with my magic aura around it. My magic aura color is a light green. I find this amazing even though I had done this in the past. Luckily this is the first thing they teach me in magic school. This blows my mind by just doing this action. I couldn't help but smile over this like this is my first time doing this simple spell. Playing with Fluttershy and watching her just fly around is fun. Then I stop for a moment, and I had a flashback of some part of my past. ... I was a filly, and I was running around with an alicorn plush making her fly around. Hearing my mother calling out to me, to come home from afar. I started to gallop toward her. Seeing her smiling face always makes me happy as well. "Midnight...!" That's all she said. Once I got to her, she embraced me in a hug. "Midnight there is a spell I would like to show you." "Ok, Momma." As I sit there. Twilight moves beside me and then starts to explain to me the spell. "Well this one is kinda hard to tell but once you get how it is done. It will become so much easier to use when you learn this spell." As she pulls a book out off the bookshelf. "It's been a while since I used this spell but it helps when you feel stressed or lonely." She lit her horn and said a few words in old ponish. Then the light begins to get brighter by the second. Then out of nowhere, Princess Celestia make an appearance in front of you. Yet I couldn't help but feel to take a bow to the Goddess. Twilight just giggles for a moment. "This is just a spell, my little one. This may look like our leader of Equestria but just an illusion. The beautiful part you can talk to them like they are really there. But the only down part is that, using this spell. Is that in the end none of it is real, no matter what you do. It's best advised to use this when you want to cheer up. I know that I have used this a few times in my lifetime. Let's try this together, my foal." Then my memories jump to another chapter in my life. I find myself sitting in my room and feeling just down. It's day I couldn't forget... It's the day that I found out my father died in a fight against a horde of Timberwolves. The emotions start to burn heavy, and my eyes begin to water up. I couldn't hold my tears anymore, and I just break down. Tears hit the floor, and I started to whimper. I use the spell, my mom taught me a while ago. Out of memory, my father pops into existence, and there he was standing before me, smiling. All I could do is to hug him and cry. ... Then my phone goes off snapping me out of my trans. Having to relived those moments in my past life is exciting, but sad. At least I learn something out of it, a new spell. This spell can be useful in certain situations. After learning this spell, I go check my phone because I just got this new text message. So I open it up to see what it has to say. [Hey bro, I'm coming by this weekend to hang with ya. See you soon. Love you. :)] (Oh snap... I forgot my older sister Darlene is coming over.) I text her back. [ Good morning sis. I'm happy to know that you are coming over. Anyways I'm going to need your help.] After sending that text, all I can do is think in what to do next. Since it looks like none of my friends are going to help, but at least I have my sister. Then my phone goes off again alerting me to it for another text. [Ok brother, I'll do what I can once I'm there.] My thoughts are off to on now this is going to freak out my sister since I turn into a pony. I'm going to try to come up with a game planed but it is going to be tricky. I just need to find a way to show my true self in front of a family member no less. So I started to practice that spell I had learned a while ago. ... After some time has passed, I heard some knocking at my front door. I headed over there and hid behind a couch. Then I start to use my magic to spawn a puppet version of my human self. Watching how it moves with my magic doesn't move as fluid as I wanted to be, but more like a clumsy meat bag that has unjoined limbs. I begin to make it get the door, and watch open it. My Sister is standing there with a smile on her face. I couldn't help it and smile along with her. She is the only other person in the world that I could trust. "Brother, how are you doing?" As she goes for a hug. I make it raise its arms and hug back. Then that moment happens where I don't know how to make it talk. I start to move my mouth and see it did the same. So I try to say something, anything really. "It's good to see you too, Sister. There is something I have to tell you. Please come in." As my sister and my shadow are both sitting in my living room. We talk about many things, like catching up, and warming up to tell her what has happened to me. "Ok, now. I've got something to tell you, sis." As I made it limp over to one side. "This is going to be hard to say this to you." "Ok. Go ahead, bro. It's not like you are coming out of the closet or something. Because I'll be happy with your life choices, and I don't care how weird that can get as long you are happy." "Thank you..." I said in my actual voice than sighed afterward. She did look at the fake with a raised eyebrow. Suddenly I made the puppet disappeared into thin air. Darlene jumps back in her set and looking around all confused. "Where did you go, Roger, and why does your voice sounds different?!" "I'm right here, sister." As I walk out from behind the couch. My sister just looks at me like she has seen a ghost, or in this case a pastel-colored unicorn. Now she is even more confused about this turn of events. "Hey, before you freak out let me explain what just happened to me." My sister sits in place lessoning to what I have to say. "This is going to hurt me more than you. I'm not really your brother, and I'm also not from this world. I came from a very far land called Equestria." I sighed after my first part of this long story for her. Before I can continue my sister starts to slowly move away from her sit and begin to walk up to me. Then she begins to boop me on my nose, like I'm some pokeable plaything. "What have you done with my brother you weird magical pony?" As she continues with her poking. "I am him... Well, I was him... Look, I know that I don't look like myself anymore, but I'm still the same person that you know as your brother. Remember how I always tell that I don't feel like I'm apart of this family in anyway?" "Yes...." she says softly. "Good. Do you also remember that one time we were playing outside, and then we got attack by bees?" "Yea, I remember that. We both hug each other hoping to not get stung by them. Yet somehow we teleported to one of our bedrooms. I couldn't forget that day because how blue you looked then tell you about it. I also recall that if there is something wrong with me? And you said to me that I looked as normal as I can be. Even over other siblings were surprised when we popped into the room." "I know, it was one of the weirds days we had together. Then we had that one dream where we were in an open field following a blue pony. You looked towards me and realized that I was not there, but in front of you." "I do... It is you, brother. I can't believe that you are from another world and somehow reborn here. The only thing I don't get is that I know you my whole life. That part doesn't make any sense to me. Well, anyways it does explain a lot of the weird coincidences that had happened to you. I thought you're just meant to be a brony but not that in the way I thought when you first told me that story." Then she gives me a hug. I hug her back. "Well since you put it that way. Yea... I have learned that I wasn't reborn, but more like transformed by magic." "Magic?" When she back away a bit from me. "Yes, magic. Since I'm now a unicorn again, I can now use real magic. The only problem I have with that is I don't remember most of the spells that I have learned in the past, but it is slowly coming back to me though." Placing my hoof behind my head. "Ok. So what are we going to do, here?" Then she sits down with her legs crossed. "I don't know yet. I'm still working that out in my head. The first thing I could think of is to say goodbye to everyone that I know. Then started writing my will. I know that I'm making it sound like I'm dying here, but that's the only thing I could think of before I leave here and become my true self. I will be sad to go, but I'll happier in the end. At least you know that I'm not dead yet." "Yea. So do you know when you're leaving?" "I don't know that one yet. If anything it's like a waiting game, till I remember how to teleport back." "I see. So who do you want to say goodbye first?" "I don't know yet. I'm still dealing with the shock of turning into a pony. I feel a little out of it for now. I know let's get something to eat. I haven't eaten anything at all." As my stomach rumbles. "Ok how? It's not like we're able to just go out and eat. Have you checked out your fridge?" As she gets up. "Yea, but there is nothing to eat. All I have in there is just beer and biscuits from last week. Also, anything from my old taste in food doesn't sound good either. Now I realized that I've turned into a vegan as well." She giggles a bit. "Well, how are going to go out when you look like that?" "I'll just pretend to be a robot or a little kid in a costume. I do have a place in mind that we can go to. I know that there is a brony con happening in town." "Well, that is a good idea for now. At least we'll blend in with the crowd." "Yea, let's go." As my sister and I is getting to leave for the con. Before we could get out the phone begins to ring, and I pick it up. "Hello there, Midnight." With the voice sounding a bit deep. I reply back to the caller. "Oh, hi. I'm Midnight's girlfriend he is not available at the moment can I take your message?" "No, that's fine. Because I finally found you my little pony...!" "Uuhhhhh....... I don't know what you are talking about?" I begin to have a cold sweat run down my face. "I've been watching you. Now that you finally show your true form. The game can finally begin." "I still don't know what you are talking about. This must be a prank call. Your good at this. How about you don't call me again at this number. haha" "This is not a joke. I've been waiting a long time for you to show yourself. Now the time has come for me to go back to Equestria and claim it for myself. After that, I'll do the same with this one as well!" "Good luck with that. I'm going to hang up now." ~Click~ After hanging up the phone, I turn to my sister and just smile. "Well, I just found that I have a stalker. Let's get going now." "What did he say over the phone?" "How I can put it this way. If I don't get to Equestria soon. Some bad guy that will try to take over my world and yours as well." "Alright let's get going, brother... I mean sister?" "Let's just roll with it." The both of them set off to the con. In the hopes to get away from the stalker and get some food while they're at.
