Earthly Twilight
O-okay, Now I KNOW I'm dreaming.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe brown haired - blue eyed 16 year old woke up without any grace, lightly pushed a pillow that was lying across his foot away and rolled out of bed. He picked up his watch and looked at the time.
2:42 PM
He pumped his fist up into the air and yelled at the top of his lungs
"YES! NEW BUCKING RECORD!"
He had yelled so loud that the pillow yelped and fell off his bed.
Evan got up, manouvered around his bedframe and strutted out the door. He pulled his blue striped bathrobe off it's hanger and walked down the stairs. He pulled out his X-BRICK 360 controller and held down the big brown X in the middle of the controller. He smiled as he heard the surround sound of his TV boom around him. He moseyed on over to the kitchen where he prepared the frying pan and the stove for his usual lazy breakfast/lunch. A pair of sunny-side up eggs, a piece of toast, and 4 pieces of bacon.
The boy turned on the stove fan turned around to see a grumpy looking unicorn staring at him. He jumped up in utter suprise and shock.
"GAH! WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?!" He yelled in utter suprise.
"Dunno, a wormhole?" The Pony replied.
"I-uhm am just going to go in this direction now and find my anti-insanity pills.." Evan chuckled and started slowly backing away toward the kitchen.
Twilight followed.
Okay.. Maybe that wasn't a sleep deprived hallucination... Evan thought to himself.
Evan reached into a drawer inside his kitchen and pulled out a steak knife and a fork...
_-_-_-_-_-_
Just outside the kitchen, a purple mare's eyes dilated. She thought she knew what was going to happen. This pony's going to eat me! Twilight whimpered and started cowering away from the strange being. She didn't get too far though, because the unicorn bumped against some sort of large pillar.
"Pleasedon'teatmeallI'mdoinghereisfindingsomewheretostayasEquestriaisbeingdemolishedbyanevilspaceinvader
anditwasreallyscarypleasedonthurtme!" Twilight just barely breathed out before making a globe of magic surround her.
The strange two-hooved creature just stood there, staring at her, looking very sorry and frightened.
"I-I don't know what to say to that, or... do. So I'm just going to get back to making breakfast." And just as the creature said that, Twilight Sparkle's stomach rumbled. It looked at the unicorn with a sudden realization. Twilight really isn't prepared for this, she doesn't know anything about us humans... Maybe I'll make her a quick salad.
30 minutes later.
Twilight had not moved an inch, worried that if she had moved from her spot, her strong hunger would easily dissapate the shield. She heard a smal clatter of a plate on the floor in front of her. she also heard the creature silently curse under his breath. she heard a couple footsteps away from it, and then silence.
The unicorn finally opened her eyes 3 minutes later to see a beautifully prepared salad, sitting on a plate just in front of her. Carefully and without a sound, she crept up to the bowl, lifted it with her magic up ofd the decorated stone floor, and quickly and silently went back with her back against the pillar. She hadn't eaten in a day, and she didn't care if it was poisoned or not, she just wanted to eat soemthing.
She practically breathed the whole thing down. Halfway through, she heard a voice saying "What? You aren't going to enjoy it? A carefully prepared salad with fresh herbs and dressing that took 20 minutes to make?" It said jokingly.
Twilight felt somewhat embarrassed and looked at the bowl. Barely one minute in and she had already eaten three quarters of it. Only then did she notice the creature sitting at a table to the right of her, looking at her with a pleading smile.
Realizing that maybe the... thing wasn't so bad, she smiled back a small smile.
"Maybe if I play my cards right he won't- no. he's still planning on eating me, he's giving me a false sense of security." Twilight sparkle quickly hid the smile and looked back at her food.
"And maybe, you just don't trust me. And maybe, you shouldn't think out loud next time." Twilight looked up again, the creature wasn't smiling anymore. It looked hurt.
"I-I'm sorry, I just thought that.. that when I-I got to wherever I was going, I would act tough.. I-I would; for dominance-"
"-Punch the alien in the snout to declare dominance?" It laughed half-heartedly.
"What?" Twilight looked confused.
"Nevermind, inside joke."
"Uhm, okay?" Twilight wasn't amused.
_-_-_-_-_-_
"You know that there are infinite alternate realities to yours and mine, right?" Evan asked.
"Well, yeah. Duh." The mare replied.
"Oh, and by the way; completely off topic. My name is Evan."
"Alright, 'Eevane.' My name is Twilight Sparkle."
"Uh, my- eh- um. Whatever. Nevermind what I said before."
Evan looked at the time: 8:46 PM
"Hey, Twilight, do you want to take a w- Actually, nevermind that, I didn't say anything." He quickly discarded the idea.
"A wal-?" she got interrupted by a loud ringing noise. "What was that?!"
Evan looked around, looking for something. A couple seconds later, he picked up a strange little grey rectangle, about the size of small book.
"What do you want? No. No you can't. No. No. Maybe. Nah, not right now. Wait wha- What? You're stupid. Bye. No, no dude, no.. Agh! Bye. Bye! Ugh..."
Evan started pacing around the room, thinking. What am I going to do? My friend is coming over and he can't actually see Twilight, Who knows what could happen? Well, I know It'll definitely be awkward.. He looked up and saw The Lavender Unicorn staring out the window. He knew she wasn't happy here, and he knew she didn't really trust him at all. But, wait. What would happen if I told her about the show? Or if she even found out, how would she react? OOOH DIS IS BAD. Wait a 'tic, I just realized. Twilight Sparkle is in my house. What the BUCK.
"Twilight?" He said, suddenly.
The mare jumped and almost hit her head "W-What is it?"
"I can't let people know I have a talking unicorn-alien - sorry about that by the way. You aren't an alen. - harbored in my house, do you think you can, I dunno, go upstairs for a bit? I mean if you don't mind that is.."
"You sound a little like Fluttershy when you said that... Anyway, sure 'Master'" Twilight Emphasized the Master part.
Thinking quickly, knowing that he shouldn't know about the mane six, he uttered a single question. "Fluttershy?" And hoped he sounded curious.
"Nothing..."
_-_-_-_-_-_
Just as Twilight reached the top of the stairs, Evan heard a knock on his door.
That Evan is one strange character.
The night before, she hadn't really gotten time to explore this new place, maybe even learn a few things about his kind's nature. As she was exploring, she found a load of books. She was pleased to learn that they were all written in a language she could understand; English, and began reading some. One book she found was very nifty. It was a portable encyclopedia on every different type of word, called a 'Dictionary'. She wondered why there weren't any in Equestria, and discarded the thought. Through all the books, she found that some of the 'Human' history is alot like Equestrian history. And while she was reading through the dictionary, she found one page she didn't really like for some reason. It was on the Humans' anatomy, but for some reason, she just didn't like it, at all. Mostly because of two words. She didn't like to talk about them either.
She had heard lots of noises downstairs; like explosions, fire, big 'bangs', electricity, but decided not to dwell on the matter. Walking around this big, beautiful new world, made her feel all alone. but then Hoborg- I mean Twilight get's an Idea. Maybe she can find some magic spell she can use to peer into other universes to see her friends. She started looking for spellbooks, but for some reason, after hours of searching, found no one.
Twilight had given up, she didn't know what to do. All was silent. Untill she head a voice, different from Evan's, say "You know what? it's getting late. I'm going to head ho-" It was interrupted by a more familliar voice saying "- Okay that's great, Etienne. now if you'll excuse me I've got some internet to explore on my computer okay bye." Then a door slamming.
Twilight had gone back to what she was thinking of. Why didn't this Human have any magic books? They were obviously different species, but maybe there were multiple types of humans? She didn't know. She had heard of magic in some of the books, but she didn't quite understand why this human; Evan didn't practice it.
"Hey Twilight?" Evan had broken her train of thought.
Twilight looked up and saw him in a completely different set of clothes. Evan sure did like to change his clothes alot. I think Rarity would have much to talk about with him. Twilight chuckled at the thought. Realizing that evan was still waiting for her to answer, she looked at him questionally, as if to ask if there was something up.
"I've got an extra room where I let guests stay, would you mind retiring to go there for the night? I mean, if you're tired."
The mare thought about it. She realized he was right when she felt her eyelids getting heavy and a yawn erupting from her throat.
"It's just to the left... literally."
She looked behind her and saw an open door. She could easily figure out that this was one of the rooms she got her books from. She nodded and went into the room, where she almost immediately fell asleep on the matress.
