Daniel decides he's done with the party he's at and thinks it best to head home, but being the responsible 24 year old chooses to walk home. Or should he have just stayed at his friends house.
This sucks, that is the only thing you could think as you sat on an old slightly stained couch that smelled like beer, sex, and shame. Why do I even come to these? You ask yourself.
"Dude what do you think of the party?"
*sigh* Right. Zack best friend since elementary school. You became his friend after he stuck up for you because some bigger kid had taken your juice box. You don't entirely know how he managed to pull off another one of these party's of his but he did. If you remember he had the cops called on him three times in the past week for a "noise disturbance", not sure how since the entire neighborhood was here but oh well.
"It's great man but how the hell are you not in trouble right now, aren't you supposed to keep the noise down?"
"Well normally duh but all it takes is knowing the right people, and of course when I say knowing the right people I just mean inviting the cops to your next party and just hoping to God they say yes."
"Huh" you hadn't really noticed but there do seem to be a few people here who look a bit older then the rest, namely the one guy by the front door who's hair had a speck of gray here and there.
"About that are you sure it's a good idea to invite cops to a party?"
"Yeah dude turns out some of these guys are actually pretty cool, and since I invited them to my party the said they'd forget about those tickets."
"Uh isn't that kinda oh I don't know illegal!"
"Hah most definitely but we're gonna keep that on the down low." You hear a deep voice from behind you say.
You turn around to see a man in a black t-shirt and an old pair of blue jeans on he has green eyes, and appears to be around thirty-two to thirty-five.
"Heyyy officer gomez" you hear zack say as he takes a seat next to you on the couch.
"Hey now I'm off duty right now so just call me randy got it, can't let any of these lady's know I'm a cop now can we?"
"Wait a second I could've swore you were married though?" Zack says.
"Oh I am 5 years going strong". He let's out a hefty chuckle. "But I'm not doing anything more than talking you know, looking but no touching.
"I hear that so whada think of the party?"
"You call this a party I partied harder in my teen years." He let's out another laugh. "No I'm just playing with ya you did a pretty good job, but I'd expect nothin less from you."
...oh shit that's right you totally forgot that officer gomez is a family friend of zacks.
"Yeah I try, i still need to fix one of my speakers though, the left one got blown out when It got turned up to loud last time." He motions to a very large speaker connected to a stereo. You look and see that it has a huge hole in the middle of it.
"Hell I don't think you can fix that you'll probably just have to get a new speaker with the condition that one's in." Officer go- er randy says.
"Yeah your probably right uh hey Daniel you doin all right?" What why would he ask you that?
"Yehh duude imm fffiine" HOLY SHIT you are not fine you sound slurred as fuck.
"Uh i think you've had enough to drink for the night" randy tells you.
"Naa imm good" No you're not
"Dude you should probably get home and get some sleep."
"Wha but is a party" Yeah and you hate them so why are you arguing?
"As true as that is you are a horrible drunk and I do not want to be the one who has to deal with that, hell I'm drunk right now but I'm better at hiding it, you not so much."
"Yeah yur probableee rigt" Hell yeah he's right.
"Here I'll call you a cab since your cars in my garage already it'll be safe for the night "
"Nah dude I can wak" you can your house isn't that far, maybe like a half a mile not that long.
"I don't know dude are you sure I don't want you walking out there this late." Hah gayyyyy he cares about you.
"NAHh I'll be good." At least you won't be driving.
"If you say so many at least let me get you jacket." He said as he handed you a grey under armor jacket that had your phone, headphones, and keys to your car.
"Here yu better tak theese." You say as you hand him your car keys better safe than sorry right.
"Yeah better let me hang on to those for the night." He says as he takes your keys. "And your sure you'll be good?" He asks questionably
"Yeah ill be good." And you most likely would be, you didn't live in a neighborhood where crime was popular but there was the occasional thug here and there but nothing to serious.
"Allright dude I guess that I'll see you later than"
"Yea ill see you latr." You say as you make your way through the front yard which is covered in passed out people and beer cans. Towards the long journey you shall embark on to your comfy bed
"It waas a good idea too wak." You say to yourself and it was, the moon was full the stars were out and not a cloud in the sky.you decide to take a moment to stop and look at the stars in the sky.
Apparently the stars are on earth too as well because when you looked back down you see two big bright ones...."wait wut". Is the only thing you can say before you you feel an VERY intense amount of pain, and then suddenly nothing and black out.
You slowly fade back into consciousness only..to..realize you have no idea where you are.
And also that your right arm is in a cast along with your torso which is covered in gauze.
"OK think what was the last thing you remember" you tell yourself before recalling the previous nights events.
"So first I got off of work, followed by heading over to Zacks, then leaving and.... oh that's right.. I got hit by a car so that means I must be in a hospital I wonder who found me. " Your thoughts are interrupted by the sound of someone approaching your door...at least you think it's someone it sounds like horse clopping.
"Who in their right mind would bring a horse to a hospital" you exclaim just as the door opens.
"Hey there its good to see that your awake we weren't entirely sure when you were going to wake up, we had to take out a lot of glass from your chest so we were kinda woried. May I ask how you're feeling.
...."heh eh heh allright zack I bet you had this idea, your hilarious. I've heard laughter is the best medicine but this is crazy, how did you even manage to get a horse in here anyhow I didn't think a respectable hospital would let someone bring a horse in here but you got me." You yell out as you stare at a tiny white horse with pink hair in a bun wearing a nurses hat.
"Well I can assure you that this is a respectable hospital considering that we were able to help you even though we have never seen a creature like you before.
"Well I uh...hmm so.. you are a horse?"
"I'm just going to assume that you don't know what your saying, no I am not a horse I am a pony, also I would appreciate it if you would not swear there are fillys and Colts here you know." Not entirely sure how you swore so you just ignore it and continue.
"...Right so you are a pony, and you can talk" you can't belive your having a conversation with a horse.
"Yes I am, and yes I can.
"But I..you..wha...HOW THOUGH?"
"Well I'm going to hopefully guess that I learned from my parents like any other pony I know did, and if your going to ask how they learned I'll just save you the trouble, they learned from there parents."
"I guess that would makes sense.....but i am pretty sure that ponies aren't physically capable of talking."
"Well I believe that I'm talking right now aren't I?"
"Well I'm mean yeah I guess so but-"
"AH no buts, since I'm a pony and I'm talking right now it proves that ponies can talk. Right?"
"But...*sigh* I guess you got me on that one."
"Your bet your brused bottom I do, now like I said earlier I'd like to know how you are feeling, any large amounts of pain in the upper torso or forearm?"
You hadn't really noticed any pain at first but now that you think about it your arm does kind of sting."Uh yeah my arm kinda stings a bit."
"I'd expect as much, you see we've never had a creature like you. I mean we have had a minotaur, but their arms are larger and we have books and ponies who've delt with them before, but as I said earlier we haven't delt with anything like you before."
That sounds kinda shady. "So how did you fix my arm then?"
"Well we had to do our best, but we didn't have a lot of knowledge to work with so we kinda had to uh....wing it"
Are you serious "wing it?"
"Um yes, but don't worry we did everything to the greatest of our capabilities.
"Uh huh"
"But we did have a...slight problem."
"And that would be?"
"You see when we had docter Stich try to accelerate your bone and tissue fusion it wouldn't....work.
"Wait what do you mean bone and tissue fusion"
"He used magic of course"
"Yeah and I'm the pope" she gives you a confused look. "Uh nevermind"
"Right, as I was saying he tried using his magic but you appear to have a high resistance to magic."
"So does that mean you weren't able to fix my arm?"
"Oh no..well we weren't, but somepony else was, and we were lucky she was here visiting her friend or we might not have been able to get that arm of yours fixe- OH I also met forgot she wanted to ask you some questions when you woke up."
"Can I ask who wants to ask me some questions?"
"Princess twilight of course."
"And now there's princesses as if magic wasn't enough."
"Oh now your just being dramatic."
"You want to see dramatic, OH GOD MY LIFE IS IN SHAMMBLESS AND I'M SURROUNDED BY MAGICAL PONY PRINCESSES!!" You exclaim while throwing your head back in a dramatic fashion. This seems to coerce a small giggle from her.
"Well I guess you your right about that." She says as she gives another small giggle.
"So in all seriousness why does she this princess want to talk to me exactly?"
"You would have to ask her about that but if had had to guess I would say it's because your a new creature that no pony has ever seen before."
"I guess that makes sense if you find a new creature no one has ever seen before you'd probably want to learn about it."
"Yes you would" she tells you
"Oh by the way I don't think I actually got to catch your name."
"Really? I'm surprised I didn't tell you at first." She extends out her hoof to you "I'm nurse redheart.
You reach out your left hand to shake her hoof. "It's nice to meet you nurse redheart my name is Daniel."
"It's nice to meet you to Daniel, but I'm afraid our conversation is going to have to end for now as it's getting pretty late."
You hadn't noticed but it was getting pretty dark out. "Yeah I guess I should get some sleep" you tell her.
"Good, now if you need anything just call for a nurse allright"
"Will do" you tell her before she leaves the room.
Now alone with your thoughts and recollecting the events of today all you can think is "what?'
You are awaken by the sound of a door slamming shut a little bit too loudly.
"Oops my bad I didn't mean to shut the door that loud I just wanted to come check on you" riiiiigght
"So what can I do for you nurse redheart" you ask while trying to scratch an itch under your cast before redheart smacks your hand away.
"Don't pick at it it'll make it worse" she says in a scolding fashion.
"Uuuuggghhhhh but it itchhhheeeesssss" you groan in annoyance.
"I don't caaaarrreee" she says in a tone mocking yours.
"Just what kinda nurse are you?" You ask.
"The one that does what she has to do to get the job done"
"Fair point, so what did you need exactly? You question her.
"Well you know how princess twilight wanted to talk to you yesterday?"
"Yeah, I'm guessing she wants to see me today?
"Exactly she's a actually waiting out in the main lobby."
"How long has she been waiting out there?"
"I think around ten minutes"
"What kinda pers- er pony is she
she is the princess of friendship, and has saved the world on multiple occasions rather it be from discord or nightmare moon so you can assume she's a very nice mare.
"What the heck is a nightmare moon?" You ask puzzled.
"I think you would be able to get a better explanation from princess twilight."
"Allrighty that's fair I guess, so how we Gonna do this, am I gonna get some crutches cause I don't know how that'd work assuming that you even have crutches."
"Yes we have crutches and no you will not be using them, lucky for you we have a wheelchair which is made for a minotaur, which you are required to leave in.
"Yay" you say in the most unenthusiastic tone you can muster up.
"Don't worry about it your just have to leave the hospital in it, no pony is saying you have to stay in it after you leave, I mean it's suggested but not mandatory, but you didn't hear that from me."
"Sweet" you exclaim while throwing a fist in the air, that is until you realize something you hadn't even considered yet.
"Uhh nurse redheart?"
"Yes daniel?" she asks while she helps you into the wheelchair.
"I'm uh not sure how I'm going to pay for my medical expenses I don't really have any money on me, and even if I did I don't think my money would work here."
"Oh that's not a problem, princess twilight figured that may be the case and had paid for your bills herself."
"Oh" HOLY crap these horse-er ponies must be frikin saints or something
"Yes, and it seems that we are almost at the main hall" she says as she hands you er- would it be hoofed you? Ah whatever. Handed you a clipboard asking for general details like name, race, and species. But as you look it already says human and male along with the payment which you can assume was from princess twilight.
"Hey i thought that you guys had never had a creature like me here before?"
"What do you mean, I can assure that your the first one of your kind I've ever even seen let alone worked on." She says with a questioned look.
"Well it says here that I'm a human".
"Are you a human?"
"Well yeah but how did you know that."
"Oh you think I..no no no I didn't fill out your information sheet, princess twilight did she seemed to know what you were as soon as she saw you."
"Isn't that kinda weird?" You ask as you hand her back the clipboard..which she some how holds in her hoof.
"Not really I mean she is a princess, she has probably seen a lot of weird things, not that I'm calling you weird or anything."
"Yeah Yeah so we Gonna go find princess twilight?"
"Of course, the main hall is just through these doors."
As you exit the two swinging doors the first thing you notice is that there are a few ponies who've look like they either have bruises or are sick, the second thing you notice is that rather than all just being normal ponies some of them have horns while others have wings. And lastly you notice a purple pony that seems to not have just one or the other but both.
"I'm gonna guess that the one with the wings and the horn is princess twilight." You whisper to redheart who is walking next to you.
"And you would have guessed right" she whispers back.
Princess twilight seems to have taken notice that you two were making your way to her and begins to walk towards you.
"Hello nurse redheart it's nice to see that our guest has woken up."
"Yes we weren't entirely sure when he was going to wake up but we're happy it was sooner then later." She says back as she nudges you to say something.
"Oh uh it's nice to meet you princess twilight, the names daniel." She seems to be a bit upset when you said princess it was only a small slip but you caught it
"It's nice to meet you to Daniel I assume that you to have all ready filled out all of the required paperwork?"
"Yes princess we've gotten all of it filled out that is necessary for him to do." Says redheart.
"Great, and I'd like to ask if it's not to much trouble if I can get a copy of those documents."
"Of course princess as soon as we get the rest filled out and get copies made we will send them your way."
"Thank you, so daniel are you ready to go to the castle?" She asks as you leave the hospital.
"Wait you have a castle?"
"Yes, yes I do."
"That's fuckin AWSOME...er princess." She noticeably winces at the language but doesn't say anything
"You don't have to call me princess daniel."
"Are you sure, I don't want to be rude or show any signs of disrespect."
"I promise you that it's fine, I'd actually rather prefer if you didn't." She says with a slight look of sadness so you decide not to push it.
"Well allright I guess I can just call you twilight, if that's ok."
"It's okay with me."
You see that you've entered a small little town full of even more ponies.
"Welcome to ponyville Daniel." Says twilight.
"So a whole town full of ponies."
"Yes most of equestria is inhabited by ponies, of course there are some griffins and zebras but the population is mostly ponies"
"So you ponies aren't the only sentient creatures here I'm guessing."
"No not at all there are minotaurs, griffins, zebras, yakks, dragons, and many more."
"Woah you guys have fuckin dragons here, how have they not just eaten all of you?"
"Contrary to popular belief dragons tend to keep to them self and will only mess with you if you mess with them or they're treasure, when we get to the castle you'll be able to meet spike."
Your eyes widen in supprise "So there's a dragon here in town."
"Don't be worried spike is still just a baby dragon."
"But still that's pretty cool I mean-." You are interrupted by a fuzzy pink mass talking up a large portion of your sight.
"Daniel just got out of the hospital so jumping onto him like that is not a good idea."
"Nah she's fine twilight, just make sure to give me a little warning next time, pinkie was it?"
"Yuperooni that's me pinkie pie experty party planner."
"So you plan party's?"
"Yup and when I saw you in realized I've never ever met you before and that made me realize I've never thrown you a party before and that made me realize I didn't know you Favorite cake flavor."
"Well I'm sure you just heard from twilight, my name is Daniel and my favorite cake is vanilla with chocolate buttercream frosting."
To your supprise you look up to see her writing in a little notebook.
"Buttercream froooossssting, allrighty thanks a lot daniel." And just as fast as she arrived did she also dissappear.
"She seems nice." You say while looking at twilight.
"Yeah pinkie can be a bit eccentric and a hoof full at times but she is one of the friendliest ponies that you will ever meet."
"Other than you I'm guessing"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm just saying you must be the friendliest pony alive to earn the title princess of friendship right."
"Oh..yeah I guess you are right." She isn't being honest with you, at least not completely but you decide against going any farther.
"Welp looks like we made it." says twilight as the two of you approach a large castle made entirely out of what appears to be crystal.
"WOAH twilight this place looks fuckin AWSOME!!"
"Yeah it's pretty nice I mean it's not where near as amazing as princess celestia and princess luna's castle"
"Are you kidding me unless their castle is completely made out of pure diamond then I feel like it would be pretty hard to top this place, hell it even looks like a tree which takes tree house to a whole new level."
"I guess you got me on that one, it's actually one of my favorite things about this castle she says as she opens up to large golden like doors to reveal the shimmering interior walls of the tree like castle.
You are then suddenly greeted by a small green and purple creature that you assume to be spike.
"TWILIGHT your back, finally what took you so long." He asks before turning to see you. "So this is the human that sweetie belle and scootaloo found right?"
"First off we it took longer because I wanted daniel to be able to walk er wheel through ponyville to get a good feel of the place instead of just teleporting straight here from the hospital, and second yes this is daniel."
"Wait you could've just teleported us here?"
"Yes I could have but it's not good to teleport somepony who is injured and never teleported before."
"I guess that makes sense."
"What are you so uppity about anyway spike?
"Starlight wanted me to help her make some breakfast and I didn't want to say no so I thought I'd just help her until you got here and then I could go help rarity like she asked me if I would yesterday."
"OK first off you can help rarity any other day and secondly why is starlight making breakfast."
"She said something about making a good impression, and cmon how come?"
"Your always over there spike it feels like if you could you would live there."
"...." yikes
"Twilight?"
"Yes Daniel?"
"Don't you think that if spike has been helping this starlight out with breakfast that he should get a little break to go help someone I mean it doesn't sound like he's goofing off more like he's just helping even more people."
"Yeah what he said twilight about me just helping another pony."
She takes a moment to think about it before finally giving in. "Fine"
"YES." SHOUTS the young dragon.
"BUT I want you back home in two hours got it?"
"Yes mam" He says before running out the door as fast as his little legs will take him.
"Allright then daniel since it seems that starlight has prepared breakfast for us we are going to have to do a very quick tour of the castle rather then the expertly crafted one I had prepared." She says with a slightly ticked face before throwing a VERY large list into the nearest trash bin.
"Allrighty so just the basics?"
"Exactly, and are first stop is your room."
"Wait how do I already have a room here?"
"Oh I took the liberty and had one ready for you, after all I doubt you have a house here if you just showed up out of the blue one day right?
"Uh yeah pretty much more or less."
"Right so I had a friend of mine patch up your pants and your shirt but she said your jacket is going to take a while longer."
"Makes sens- wait you have my clothes?" You totally hadn't even thought about your cloths until now OH god what about your phone.
"Yes but they were in pretty bad shape but my friend was able to fix them, OH and if your worried about your phone it's with your clothes." She tells you as you both enter a room which you assume is yours
"OK hold on a second now, I have a very big question to ask."
"And that would be."
"So when I woke up nurse redheart had told me that no one had ever seen or heard of a creature like me before and yet here you come already knowing what I am and what my technology is, what's up with that?"
She sighs before sitting down in front of your chair.
"I suppose I own you some answers huh?"
"Uhh yeah kinda."
"Allright but first I have three questions for you, the first being do you have any I'll intentions towards equestria or any of its leaders?"
"Twilight if I had any I'll intentions don't you think I would've done something by now?"
"Just answer the question" she says calmly.
"No no I dont."
"OK good next question, have you intentionally givin any false information in hopes of hiding anything."
"No"
"Allright last question, what kind of person are you?
Now this question takes you off guard
"I guess that I'm uh a nice guy I mean back where I came from I only really had one friend but he always thought I was a good guy other then working i spent most of my time shut in my apartment or at one of my friend zacks parties when he wouldn't stop bugging me about it."
She looks pleased with your answer, but it's also sort of a knowing look.
"Good that's the last question, so I guess I owe you an answer huh?"
"It would be nice yeah"
She then goes into detail about how she had her crown stolen and had to go through a magic portal that led her to a world filled with humans and with help from five friends she made there she was able to stop a threat gain a new friend and get her crown back.
"Wait so if there's a world filled with humans then that must be my world, that means I can just back through that portal."
"Yes I had that thought too but after running some tests on you when you were sleeping and found that your biological makeup is different then those in the mirrored universe."
"So does that mean that that's not my universe?"
"Yes, you see the mirror changes your physical form so If you are the only human in a world full of ponies then that would mean in a world full off humans you would be a...."
"Pony"
"Yes, I've went over around ten different ways we could potentially fix this problem but none worked out in the end."
"That kinda sucks"
"I'm so soo sorry that I couldn't find anything."
"Nah it's not your fault, but one more question did you figure out how I got here in the first place?"
"I'm afraid not, universal travel is basically impossible other than the mirror and discord, but I had fluttershy ask him if he had anything to do with it and he swore on their friendship that he didn't."
"So no way to get me back either?"
"No, I'm sorry."
"Hey like I said before it's not your fault you did what you could and when that didn't work you accepted me into your home had my clothes fixed and payed for my medical bills, so in my opinion you've already done a lot for me, hell without you they might of just kicked me out the second they figured out I couldn't pay." You noticed that she's started to tear up a bit.
"So your not mad that I can't send you back"
"No way"
"Thank you so much"
"Yeah Yeah allright enough of the mushy stuff." You tell her Which gets her to give a small giggle.
"Oh by the way how long did nurse redheart say you'd have to be in that wheelchair?"
"Oh I don't have to be in it i just had to leave the hospital in it, and kinda just felt to lazy to walk." You say as you stand up only now realizing how much taller you are than this pony.
Twilight apparently realizes this to and takes a step back just to see how tall you were. Now your not saying you were that tall on earth you are only 6 foot, and there were plenty of people who had height on you, but this pony only came up to right above your waistline.
"You are a lot taller then I realized at first" Twilight says giving a nervous laugh.
"Yeah me neither I guess I just assumed you were taller cause of the wheelchair."
"So I think we should head off to the dining room before the food gets cold and starlight gets upset."
"So what's with this starlight is she your girlfriend or something."
Twilight blinks and then her entire face becomes as red as and apple.
"YOU THINK....OH NO NO NO NO NO SHE'S JUST A FRIEND AND BESIDES I'M NOT EVEN IN TO MARES."
"I'm just yanking your chain twilight, but if we are going to go I'd rather have some clothes that don't feel like someone just put two kids hospital gowns together."
"Oh right so I guess I'll just wait out side." She says before rushing out the door.
You walk towards the dresser which has your shirt and pants sitting neatly folded next to your phone and headphones, you do notice a lack of underwear though.
"Crap looks like I'm going camando for a while" you think to yourself before grabbing your clothes and quickly changing into them, you decide to leave you phone for now.
You exit the room to find twilight sitting in front of the door on her haunches in a way that reminds you of a dog waiting for its master to come home.
"You ready?" Asks twilight.
"Yeah I'm ready."
"Great cause I am starving." You hadn't noticed but your actually quite hungry yourself.
You wonder what this new pony that your going to meet is like you wonder what kind of food there is going to be too. Ah well guess you'll find out in a minute.
You and twilight both enter the kitchen to find *gasp* another purple pony who your guessing is starlight sitting at the end of a table which is covered in waffles, pancakes, fresh fruits, scrambled eggs, hash browns, but there also appears to be flowers, not like in a boutique but as food.
"Wait duh they're ponies what did I expect" you think to yourself before realizing twilight has said something to you.
"Uh could you repeat that"
"I said that's a lot of food huh."
"Yeah definitely" you tell twilight as you both approach the far side of the dining table where the very nervous looking is in her seat.
"Good morning starlight, sorry that we were a bit of schedule with getting back home, I hope you didn't have to wait that long."
"Oh no it's fine sometimes things happen and your late, and no I haven't been waiting here that long me and spike actually just finished breakfast a minute ago, but he seems to have ran off."
"Yeah you know spike, can't spend more than ten minutes awaken from rarity."
Starlight let's out a giggle at twilights comment. "So are you the human twilight told me about?"
"Yep that's me, daniel the human nice to meet you starlight." You say as you reach out a hand to her.
"It's nice to meet you to Daniel, I hope that your able to eat the food is made, twilight had told me before about how humans can't digest some of the things that us ponies eat."
"Everything here seems to be edible, well except for maybe the flowers, I mean they are edible but there not very good tasting."
""OK good i was worried that you might not be able to eat some of this."
"Yeah it's fine"
"Good"
And akward silence had then filled the room until twilight decided to speak up.
"Soo starlight, do you have any plans for today?
"Not really any plans per say but trixie did ask me if I'd like to go get some lunch today."
"Oh that sounds like fun."
"Probably, so what about you, got any plans?"
"Yes actually first I have to take daniel to rarity's boutique to see if his jacket is fixed yet, then we have to go to mare mayor's office to get the citizenship papers that I had requested from princess celestia, and lastly we have to find sweetie belle and scootaloo."
"Oh, how come did they do something wrong?" Starlight asks with a questioning look.
"No they didn't do anything wrong they just wanted to meet and I'm quoting this the scrawny hairless minotaur and they were the ones who found daniel so it's only fair that they get to meet him."
The three of you finish your breakfast and twilight exuses herself to use the restroom, you on the other hand are about to pick up the plates that is until starlight picks them all up at once all plates being in a light turquoise aura of sorts.
"Woah that's pretty cool" you tell starlight in astonishment.
"What this, no it's nothing but a simple levitation spell, any unicorn with a basic enough grasp on magic can perform it."
"Hell even if that is the point it's still the greatest magic I've ever seen."
"Don't you have any magic in your world? " Starlight asks a bit curious.
"No not any real magic it always just tricks used with smoke and mirrors and what not, and any time something seems like it may be magic it's usually some guy just trying to screw with people."
"That doesn't seem like a nice thing to do."
"Nah most of the time it's all in good fun."
"Daniel are you ready to head out to rarity's?" Says twilight as she re enters the dining room.
"Yeah I'm ready, see you later starlight."
"See you later daniel."
You and twilight exit the castle and begin to make your way to rarity's.
"So our first stop is your friend rarity's right?"
"Yes, rarity should have your jacket fixed by now, and if not we can just come back after we get your paper work."
"Sounds like a plan to me." You say before tripping over your own feet and falling straight down towards the purple pegacorn and one very deadly looking horn, lucky for you twilight seems to have a very high reaction time when it comes to things falling because just as you are about to fall onto her, your body is encased in a purple aura much like how starlight had done with the plates, but unlucky for you the feeling of having your entire body immobilized was by far the worst feeling you could have ever imagined. Not because it was painful but because even for just a moment it felt like someone else had complete control over you.
Twilight looks at you and notices the look on your face.
"Hey Daniel are you feeling okay?"
"Uh yeah it's just that felt very.....wrong and uncomfortable."
"What holding you in my magic?"
"Yeah that I would appreciate it if you wouldn't do that without warning in the future."
"If it makes you that uncomfortable then I won't." She looks up to you with a warm smile.
"Thanks it would mean a l-" you are interrupted and find yourself covered with another pony except this time instead of pink you see a rainbow. Also if anybody asks, you had let out a manly yelp not a girly squeal, incase someone asks.
"RAINBOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" You hear twilight yell.
"What does it look like, I'm attacking the monster that just tried to eat you!"
"*sigh* rainbow that's not a monster that's daniel, he's the human I had told you girls about."
"Sooo you weren't about to just get eaten?"
"No rainbow, daniel just tripped and I caught him with my magic."
"Oh.....eh heh whoops my bad."
Rainbow finally gets off you just as your last breath is about to run out allowing you to take in sweet sweet oxygen.
*COUGH* "holy shit what's with ponies and latching onto my face today?!"
"Heh sorry about that dude I kinda thought you were trying to eat my friend here." Says rainbow as you push yourself up to your feet.
"Nah it's cool I've had something similar happen to me earlier today so your good."
"Let me guess, pinkie pie?"
"Yeah, you know her?"
"Know her, she's one of my best friends."
"Yeah I guess a pony like her would be friends with everyone that she meets considering how.........uh eccentric her personality is."
"Yeah that's pinkie pie for ya, you can't meet that mare and not end up becoming her friend, as a matter of fact I'm surprised she hasn't thrown you a party yet."
"She did want to know my favorite kind of cake and frosting earlier when she met me."
"Oh yeah then that definitely means your getting a party either today or tomorrow." Says rainbow before a look of horror crosses her face.
"AH CRAP pinkies first party for a pony is supposed to be a surprise one, she's gonna kill me if she finds out I told you."
"Well technically there is no party yet."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean she never actually told you about a party yet did she?"
"N-no I guess not."
"Soo you never actually told me about a party, you were just making an assumption that there was going to be a party, you can't get in trouble for just guessing."
"Yeah...I guess your right since I was just guessing.....so what are you doing anyway?"
"Well we were going to rarity's but we got caught up in you thinking no daniel was a monster, and speaking of that we really should get to rarity's I also need to make sure spikes behaving."
"Yeah it's should let you two get to that, so see ya." Says the rainbow hair colored pony before she dashes off....heh dash.
"Finally, are you ok daniel she didn't hurt you did she?"
"Nah just a little dusty is all." OK good cause we're here."
You look in front of you and see a building that looks sort of like a carousel you would find at a carnival but way more girlish.
"Hey its kinda looks like a carousel."
"Well it is called the carousel boutique after all."
"Makes sense then I guess."
The two of you then enter the frilly looking building and yup, the inside looks just as frilly as the outside, with decorations and whatnot being everywhere.
Twilight goes over to rarity to talk about your jacket probably but what your more focused on is a scent your picking up on that smells like vanilla, and like any other reasonable person...you follow the smell.
"Where the hell is that coming from?" You ask to know one in particular, but it seems your question has been answered as you approach a door, and you also hear the voice of.....spike?
You have a bright idea and decide to open the door as fast as possible to scare the crap out of him......but you immediately regret this decision based on what you see, spike laying on the bed in a very lewd position with a rose in his mouth.
"...........hi" Says spike with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Sup" is the only word you can respond with.
"You're not gonna tell twilight about this are you?"
"I don't even want to remember this let alone tell someone else about it sooo you're good."
"Good."
"Soooo see you at the castle?"
"Yep."
You take the silence as the perfect cue to leave the room and return back to twilight just finishing a coversation with rarity.
"-he was just here a second, OH there you are."
"Yeah sorry about that kinda zoned out back at the front door." You lie
"It's fine, anyway rarity I'd like you to meet daniel."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." You tell rarity.
"The pleasure is all mine darling, though I must say I was a bit worried in your taste in clothes, that is until I got to work on this jacket of yours." Was that an insult or a compliment?
"Uhh thanks?"
"Your quite welcome darling, and I'm guessing you would like to have your jacket back." Oh god what if she put a bunch of frilly crap on it.
"Yes I would appreciate it." You tell her as you brace yourself for the worst.....only to find that it looks great.
"Wow it looks amazing, hell it looks even better then before it got ruined." You say in astonishment.
"Well it wouldn't be right to let such a fine article of clothing such as this one just be ok."
She was right this wasn't just an ordinary jacket this thing set you back about 200 dollars since it was made out of some pricy wool and silk.
"Listen I don't have any money right now but I promise that when I do get some I'll make sure to pay you back for this."
"Oh think nothing of it darling, I always love to help a pony down on their luck and based on what twilight had told me, your about as down as it gets."
This chick right here.
"Seriously though thank you this jacket means a lot to me."
"Allrighty the more reason to not charge you, but I'm sure you and twilight have some more errands to run so I should let you get back to it."
"She's right daniel, that paperwork is going to take us a couple hours to do."
"Yeah I guess your right ahead well see you later rarity."
"Goodbye darling."
You and twilight then exit the building, but you poke your head back in for a sec.
"Oh I almost forgot I uh think spikes still waiting for you upstairs." You say before quickly shutting the door, now if you would have waited then you would have seen her face go as red as a Christmas tree decoration.
"So where exactly is our next stop twilight?"
"Well have to go to mare mayor's office."
You reach mare mayor's office, and wonder to yourself if that is her actual name because that's convenient as hell.
"princess twilight how can I help you today?" Says the receptionist at the front desk.
"I'm here to pick up those papers that I requested yesterday."
"Oh yes the paperwork about becoming a citizen of equestria is should have them right here."
Says the girl er mare as she pulls out a verrrrry large stack of papers.
"This is going to take a while." You say to twilight.
"Oh come on its not that bad."
Five hours.....it took five fuckin hours to fill that shit out.
"And lastly all you have to do is sign your name here." Twilight says as you look at the very last thing needed to be filled out.
"And then we're done?"
"Yes"
"Fucking finally."
"It wasn't that bad was it?"
"Twilight, I can't feel my hands."
"Oh don't be such a foul, listen if it makes you happy I'll buy you some lunch before we go to sweet apple acres since that's where rarity told me sweetie belle was going to be today."
You think about before your stomach decided to make the choice for you by making a loud grumble.
"Eh heh yeah food does sound kinda nice right about now."
"Great." Says twilight just as she poofes away the entrance stack of papers to someplace."
"Where'd you send those papers?"
"Just to the archives back at the castle."
You arive at a place that reminds you of a McDonald's back on earth.
Settling for a milkshake and some onion rings due to the fact that the other things are mostly hay based.
Twilight on the hand orders *spoiler* insert over used big smoke reference*spoiler*.
"Not judging or any thing, but damn twilight you think you got enough food."
Twilight looks at you with a small tint on her face.
"It's not my fault, it's just one of the things that comes with being an alicorn, we burn calories off very fast so we compensate by eating large amounts of food."
Yeah she's taking bullshit, she may be a princess but she can't lie for shit.
"Uh huh if you say so."
"J-just eat your food."
The rest of the meal goes on pretty interesting, for you at least as you sit in amazement and also slight terror as you watch the small pony finish her last burger.
"I...but.....HOW the hell is that even possible?"
She looks at you with a, don't judge me kinda look.
*anyway forgetting what I just saw, we're supposed to be heading to uh what was it, sweet apple acres?"
"Yes, we have to go see scootaloo and sweetie belle."
"They are the ones who found me right?"
"Mhmm."
You eventually find yourself self at sweet apple acres and all you can sfay is.
"Hey you think they got enough trees?"
"Well sweet apple acres is a high supplier for all of equestria when it comes apples."
"Damn that must take a lot of work."
"The apples are a hard working family, and speaking of apples there's apple jack up there." Says twilight as she points a bit upset ahead of you two.
"Hey apple jack."
"Well howdy twilight and.....now I know I've never met you before."
"No this would be the first time, the names daniel." You say as you extend you your hand out which she somehow GRABS, and damn does she have a hell of a grip, feels like she could've ripped your arm off.
"The names applejack, now what can I help yall with?"
"We're looking for sweetie belle and scootaloo, rarity told us that they should be here." Says twilight
"Well shoot ya just missed em, they just ran off with applebloom and big Mac to watch him fix fluttershy's roof."
"Really? I thought she would have had discord help her with that."
"Yeah she said that she would normally, but he had to head up to canterlot right quick to help the princess with somethin."
"Huh, I wonder what the princess could need help with."
"It's probably nothin, OH and yer headin over ta fluttershy's right?"
"Yes."
"Could you do me a favor and tell big Mac to send applebloom back?"
"Sure thing."
"Thanks, well I gotta get back ta apple bucking I'll see ya later."
"See later applejack."
"So now we gotta go to......fluttershy's house?"
"Yes, and then that should be the last thing for the day."
"Cool."
So you and twilight make your way towards fluttershy's house which is a pretty far distance away from town, and also pretty close to a forest."
"She lives out near this place."
"Yeah fluttershy is kind of a shy pony so she lives a good distance from others and closer to where she can take care of animals."
"So she likes animals huh?"
"Yeah that's even what her special talent is, taking care of animals."
"Special talent, you mean the tattoos you all have?"
"Tattoo? Oh you mean are cutie marks."
"If you mean the picture on your but then yeah."
"Well a cutie mark is a representation of one's special talent so essentially yes."
"So they just appear?"
"Yes."
You then spot a cozy looking cottage with a large red stallion on top of it.
"So this is fluttershy's house?"
"Yes it is."
"Huh looks pretty nic-." You then see three little heads looking at you from behind a tree.
"Uuhhhh twilight?"
"Yes daniel?"
"Who's that?" You say pointing towards the suspects.
Twilight looks for a second before seeing who your pointing to.
"Oh, girls come out from behind there."
You then see three fillies you think their called come out from behind the tree.
"See sweetie belle I told you it was him." You hear the orange one say
"Well he didn't look that tall when we found him." You hear sweetie belle say.
"What are you girls hiding for?" Asks twilight.
Then the one who your guessing is apple bloom based off the *spoiler* apple *spoiler* on her cutie mark speaks up
"Sweetie belle and scoots told me that they found a strange minotaur creature and we weren't sure if he was it." She says pointing to you.
"Well why don't you ask him?"
Scootaloo then decides to jump in.
"I already know he's the minotaur because he's wearing the same clothes, just without all that blood."
Sweetie belle seems to go a little green at that comment.
"Don't remind me scootaloo that almost made me throw up." Says sweetie belle
"So your a minotaur mister?" Says applebloomm
"Sadly not, I'm actually a human."
"A huemaan?" Awww that little accent.
"Heh yup that's me, a hueman."
"Ha, see if told you he wasn't a minotaur scootaloo." Says sweetie belle.
"Whatever."
"So I hear i have you two to thank for finding me?" You say looking at scootaloo and sweetie belle.
"Uh huh me and scootaloo were going to see rainbow dash at the hospital and we saw you inside a bush and noticed all the blood and ran as fast as we could to find a doctor."
"Yeah." Chimes in scootaloo. "And after that we went to rainbow dashes room and twilight was there and we told them about what we found, then twilight asked what you looked like and after we tolled her she ran off to find the room you were at."
"Really now?" You say looking at twilight.
"Eh heh well when then described something that looked like a scrawny minotaur without fur or horns I had to go see."
"Well I thank you two if it weren't for you I probably would have bled out."
"It's, all in a days work for a future wonderbolt member." Says scootaloo as she does a little prideful pose.
"Wonderbolt what's that?"
Scootaloo looks at you like you just asked what the color blue is.
"Only the coolest flying team ever, and when I grow up I'm going to be one just like rainbow dash."
"Oh is rainbow your sister or something?
"I wish, but no she's my idol."
"Well I wish you luck then"."
"Thanks."
"Oh hey applebloom remember how you bet me that we didn't find a creature." Says scootaloo.
"*sigh* yeah I remember, let's go back to the farm." She says before her and Scootaloo start walking back to the farm leaving sweetie belle."
"Uh aren't you gonna go with your friends?" You ask.
"Yeah but first I wanted to ask you your name."
"Oh I never did tell you did I?"
She shakes her head
"Well my names daniel.
"Cool thanks." She says before running to catch up to her friends.
"Soo are we finished now?" You ask.
"Originally yes, but I want to ask fluttershy why discord is up at canterlot."
So you go to fluttershy door and twilight knocks on it, when it opens you see a yellow mare who is probably fluttershy.
"Oh hello twilight and......"
"Fluttershy this is daniel he's the one that was in the hospital."
"Oh dear I um hope that your allright."
"Nah I'm fine just a couple scratches."
"Oh but even scratches can still hurt, like this one time I had um tripped and got a cut on my leg."
"Well I'm sure you probably just walked it off."
"Oh yes even though it did hurt it wasn't something to cry about."
"Hey fluttershy?"
"Yes twilight?"
"Could I talk to you really quick about something."
"Of course twilight."
"Be right back daniel." Says twilight before shutting the door.
You lean up against the cottage for a few minutes until you see a tall red stallion turn the corner, he seems to notice you and stops for a second before continuing.
"Hey your big Mac right?"
"Yup"
He looks around a bit before saying something.
"You seen my Lil sister?"
"Applebloom?" He nods.
"Uh yeah her and her friends just ran back to sweet apple acres."
"Worried for a sec huh?" He nods again.
"Yeah I know what that's like always got a watch out for your younger siblings huh."
"Yup."
"You don't say a lot do you?"
"Nope."
The front door opens and out come fluttershy and twilight.
"Oh, big Mac did you finish already."
"Yup."
"Well I have your bits inside so I'll be a second if that's allright."He nods.
You and twilight have been walking for a few minutes.
"So can we go back to the castle now?" You ask.
"NO." Twilight blurts out.
"Uh i mean we still have one last thing."
"But you said that we didn't have anything else left."
"I promise that this is the last thing."
"Fine as long as you promise."
So when twilight said one last thing she apparently ment you just standing outside of a little Shop for about 15 minutes.
"Finally what took you so long?"
"Oh I just had to talk to somepony about something
"Uh huh, so now are we going back to the castle?"
"Yes."
The two of you approach the doors of the castle.
"Fucking finally that took forever."
"It was only 10 minutes."
"Yeah but I'm hungry so it felt like 20." You say as twilight and you step into the castle.
Your about to ask twilight why it's so dark in here until you hear a verrrrry loud sound.
"SUPPRRIISE."
now once again you did not shriek like a little girl.
"HOLY hell pinkie you scared me."
"Well duh danny that's the whole point of a surprise party."
"How did you even manage this in less then a day."
"That's a secret and if I told you it wouldn't be a secret anymore now would it."
"Got me there pinkie."
"You bet I do, now who's READY TO PARTY!!! Pinkie yells out to the crowd, and in cue the dj starts playing some dubstep, and pinkie runs off to go party.
"Hey dude." You hear from next to you.
"Oh, hey rainbow."
"You did a great job selling that fake supprise I almost thought you were actually scared, I mean that scream was so high pitched I think you broke one of the windows up in canterlot.
"Uh yeah totally faked." You had honestly completely forgot about this party.
"Well imma let you get back to taking to ponies plus there's a mug a cider over there with my name on it." She says before running off to get it.
You notice that twilight has run off to go join the party as well leaving you alone that is until you see spike talking with rarity over by the cupcakes.
"Hmm I could really use a cupcake but is talking to spike right now worth it." You decide it is as you walk over to the cupcakes, spike seems to notice as well and coughs on his drink.
"Uh hey Daniel about earlier."
"Don't worry about it spike my lips are sealed."
"Yeah I wanted to thank you for not telling anyone, uh so does rarity but she's a bit to embarrassed heh."
You look over and see that her face is red and she's definitely avoiding eye contact.
"And to say thanks rarity made you these." he hands you a bit neatly wrapped with a bow. "There's also something from me in there to."
"Thanks spike."
"No problem."
"And thank you as well rarity."
"O- of course."
You spend around 20 more minutes eating cupcakes chugging hot sauce like a pro against pinkie pie andtalking to different ponies before you decide to sneak off to your room.
"Ah finally some piece and quite." You say to yourself before setting the gift from spike and rarity down next to your phone, and falling face first into the most comfortable bed you've ever felt.
"Oh god this bed feels amazing." You once again say to yourself also thinking that if anybody were to hear you that they would probably think your crazy for talking to yourself.
You are about to fall asleep before you here your door open.
"Daniel are you in here?" You hear twilight.
"Yeah twilight I'm here." You sit up on the front edge of the bed.
"I was just kinda worried since I couldn't find you in had thought you were upset or something." She says as she sits up next to you.
"Nah just taking a break, kinda loud in there.
"Yeah it's one of pinkie pies party's so there pretty crazy."
"Yeah she's a crazy mare but in a good way I guess."
"Yeah....OH I almost forgetting the other reason I came to find you."
"And what would that be?"
"This." She says as she poofes up a medium sized box.
"And what's in that."
"Well open it and find out." She says as she hands you the box.
You take the box and open it to find a camera and a book labeled memories.
"Now I know it's not much but I figure since I can't send you back to your world and you don't have a lot to remind you of home I would give you a gift that would help you make this place feel like home." She says looking at you with a gentle smile.
You can't really think of anything to say, thank you won't work, sure it's not the most amazing gift in the world but it's the reason behind the gift that makes it special. So you decide on a simple thing.
"Do you not li-eep." Exclaims twilight as you pull her into a hug. A simple thing yes but it means a lot.
"Of course I like it twilight it's an amazing gift."
"Really I mean I wasn't sure if you would like it or if you even would use it."
"Of course I'll use it....in fact I'll use it right now." You say as you pick up the camera and adjust it.
You then pull twilight closer to your side and wrap and arm around her, she does the same thing but with her wing'
"Allright now on the count of three smile.......one....two...three!
You and twilight put on your biggest grins you got as you hear the click of the camera itself, and you watch as it spits out a picture.
"Hey twilight do you have a pen?"
"No sorry every time I would try to bring one through the portal it would always change to a quill."
"I guess a quill would work." You say as she poofes up a quill and ink.
Under the picture in the white margin you write.
First day, first friend.
You the carefully slip the developed photo into the very first pouch of your new memories book.
You look over to twilight and see that she has passed out.
"Heh guess you were more tired then I was."
You gently pick her up and began to look for her room, it not being to far from your and also having bigger and flashier doors as well so it's not very hard.
You lay her down in her bed and cover her with the blankets. Then return to your own bed after kicking your shoes off next to your dresser.
"Look we don't have much time until those slimy bastards get on this ship, what are your orders captain"?
You are captain Daniel Webb, and you are in a horrible situation involving giant slug creatures with acid that is currently breaking through the hull of your ship.
"I DON'T KNOW DAMMIT". It's not like you have any real options left.
"Well we need to think of something quick or people are going to die", you hear your first in command yell just before you see a giant sluggish blob rip through the wall and devour her whole.
"This is it, I can't believe I never got to finish that pizza in the fridge" you tell yourself as the creature lunges at you ready to feast again.
That is until it freezes mid air, and everything around you begins to fade away leaving you standing in a sorta space like plane. "So you are the creature Twilight sent word about" you hear from behind you.
You look and see a very regal looking pony who also seems to have both wings and a horn. "Uh.. yeah I think so, unless she found another one of a kind creature yesterday".
She gives you a deadpanned look. "Not one for jokes I guess" you say with an awkward chuckle. "unfortunately I am here for more serious reasons".
"Oh.. I hope not so serious that I can't get a name" you ask the blue unicorn....er Pegasus...pegacorn? "Of course, I am princess Luna guardian of the dreamscape and watcher of the night." She says with a flair of her wings.
"Dreamscape? Oh so that means that this is a dream right? You ask slightly puzzled. "Yes you are correct this is only a dream although it was a very strange one it is still just a dream".
"Huh.. alright that's kinda cool, so why exactly are you here?"
"I am here because I protect all dreams, I sensed that you were having a nightmare and I came to resolve you of it....plus I wanted to see what you looked like before my sister did." She says with a sheepish grin.
"That seems reasonable.. I guess, but thanks for helping me with that dream it took a really weird turn at the end there".
"Yes it did, it was one of the more strange dreams I have seen as of tonight." She says a slight glow appearing on her cheeks." What do you.....oh OH those kinda dreams."
"Yes some ponies have quite the imagination when it comes to....those types of things."
"Really now like what?" You ask feeling curious about other people uh ponies dreams. "Ah fortunately I've made it a rule of mine not to discuss the dreams of my subjects with each other."
"But am I really even your subject I mean I just got here two days ago." You ask. "Well you wouldn't be if you hadn't filled out those citizenship forms that twilight requested from Celestia, but good try". Darn I guess others dreams are gonna stay a secret forever.
"Don't even remind me about that, those papers make the DMV feel like a kindergarten writing assignment, and you basically just have to write your name on those." You say shuddering at the thought of all that paperwork."yes there is quite a large amount of paperwork". She says with a giggle.
"Woah hold up, was that a laugh, and here I thought you were all about being serious". You say with a smirk. "Well I'm not all bordum and serious I can be quite fun when I choose to be, but it seems as though are time is nearly up".
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well it is almost morning which means you will be waking up, I can already Sense you beginning to wake up, which is surprising considering how early it is."
"Yeah I always was a bit of an early riser" you say with a shrug." Well not very many ponies are up very early unless they live in a big city like Manehatten." Manehatten? Is that like Manhattan.
"Yeah that's kinda how it is back on my world". Huh that felt really weird to say. "Right. About your world I would like to Know if Twilight has told you the unfortunate news".
" Yeah.... She did". You say with a sigh." I am sorry that you cannot return to your world, I truly am". She says with a sad look. "It's ok no reason reason to be upset about something that can't be changed right?"
"That is a very good way to look at things, even if the situation is less than desirable".
"Yeah I wish I could be home but I can't so I just gotta deal with it." Even if it sucks a lot. "Well I wish you the best of luck in your new life at ponyville, also id like to inform you now that you will not be remembering any of our conversation when you awake".
" That kinda sucks, so that means I won't remember you if we meet in real life right?"
"Yes unfortunately but I can assure you that we will meet again, and it might be sooner than you would think". Huh that's pretty vague. "Alright well I guess I'll be looking forward to it."
"Yes I will be looking forward to it as well."
"So uhh what happens now do I like just wake up or do I like have to do something or what?" You say. "No you don't have to do anything you will just wake up on your own, and it will feel like your real dream had just ended and that's what woke you up." Alright that's cool I guess.
"So uh bye I guess". You say before you jolt up from your dream and realize you are in the castle." Oh right well that was the closest I've came to dying in a dream". You say to no one in particular.
"Woah" is all you say as you look out the window at the sunrise. They were definitely not like this back on Earth.
