Chapter 6: 'Scuse but What?

Previous Chapter

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa" I say, "Back the fuck up for a second. Why did I get so calm after you just explained how you ripped me from my world and said you have no known way of sending me back for some unexplained reason." As if by, well magic I guess, my anger returned with a vengeance.

"I can explain everything in a few minutes time. But first we need to get you out of this forest. We may be a princess but this places still scares Us." she replied

Without even waiting for any verification that this was ok from me she just got up and started walking. Based on what she said the only way I would find out what's going on was to follow her so I did just that. We walked for easily 5 minutes before the glow from the moon was remotely visible. Another 5 and we were out of the forest. I tried to ask where she was leading me but I got no response. She did look lost in thought so I couldn't get to mad for not getting an answer.

I'm not sure how much longer we walked after we left the tree line but eventually we came to the edge of the town I fled from earlier. The alicorn brightened up significantly as we approached the first set of houses. Just before were went into the town proper however she turned and looked at me.

"Before we go any further I need an answer." she said

"Answer to what? You mean about either finding these "Elements" or sending my consciousness back a day to when I woke up in the hospital?" I asked

"Precisely"

"Well you never really gave me time to think about it. But going off what my gut is telling me let's just go into town. I'm not sure that, "sending me back in time" would have lead to any different results because I wouldn't know what's going to happen if I act the same way." I replied and with that she turned and started back off into the town.

I still didn't know where we were going exactly but I did know one thing, I had to face the ponies from the hospital. The purple one, Twilight Sparkle, was apparently not to friendly towards me entirely based on my look. Kinda racist if you think about it. Anyway as we approached what looked to be a hollowed out tree I started to notice a few things were off. First my hearing was way too good. I could mine and the alicorn's footsteps as you might expected but I could also hear a faint swooshing sound. I wasn't to sure what it could have been since there wasn't any wind. That's when I took notice of her tail. Each time it waved from side to side it made a small swoosh. Anyways the second thing that seemed off way a huge pain in the middle of my back. I just chalked it up to leaning against that tree in the forest though. So maybe it was only 1 thing that was off.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the Alicorn, "Jeez I really need to figure out her name. Calling her just "Alicorn is starting to get old", stopped in font of a tree and knocked on the door. Said door opened wide to reveal those that I didn't really want to see. The same 6 ponies that had come to see me in the hospital. Twilight warmly greeted the Alicorn and queered why she was here that's when she saw me. Everyone inside had somehow noticed me trying in vain to hid behind the still unnamed pony. That's when the purple unicorn finally said something that was directed at me.

"There you are. You are so lucky that Fluttershy is ok, and you're lucky you're with the princess or else I would beat you up so bad you would wish I had killed you!" she said.

"Twilight Sparkle! That is unacceptable behaviour," said the princess, "I'll have you know that Tyler here is completely innocent and means none of us any harm!"

Well none of you is a bit of a stretch, I'm considered beating the shit out of purple and blue for several reasons. I thought

Twilight sighed, "Sorry Princess Luna," Aha so she does have a name "I was just worried that he was violent and I'm a little overprotective of my friends in case you didn't notice."

After that had happened Twilight ushered me and Luna into the tree which turns out is a library. I walked past the other 5 ponies and a small lizard standing on two legs. They each had a different expression written on their faces. Rarity had relief, Fluttershy had concern, Pinkie was just smiling at me, Rainbow and Applejack had varying degrees of worry and the lizard looked furious. I sat down at the bottom of a staircase while Twilight and Luna sat down on some chairs. Silence reigned over the room, until I decided to break it.

"So," I casually started, "Is that purple thing a dragon?"

I was actually not surprised when it replied in a young kids voice, and one that wasn't angry at all, "Of course I am, but I'm still only a baby, name's Spike"

I was about to speak up again when Luna cut in, "Well now that we all know each other I believe I have some explaining to do to everyone. But before I start I want everyone to swear not to tell anypony else what I'm about to tell you."

Anypony? Well that was a new one. I thought

"Well then I guess I shall start. Tyler, you'll have to excuse me for this but," Luna began. I was about to ask what she said when I suddenly grew very tired. By the looks of it everyone else in the room, save Luna, got tired to and next thing I knew I was out.
