You are Anon, short for Anonymous. Your parents were very uncreative with names, but that’s besides the point. You are Anon and you have just found yourself in the world of technicolored ponies known as Equestria. How or why you don't know, seeing as how no more than 30 seconds ago you were walking down the street to meet up with your qt 3.14 gf. Now you're lying on your back. The last thing you remember before this moment was a blinding white light and a static noise much like a television with no signal.
You open your eyes and are greeted by the sight of an elegantly decorated room; It is a perfect circle with ornate stained glass windows surrounding you on every side. You sit up and take in the details of the room, a slight pounding in your head. Your eyes follow the walls all the way around until you are looking directly behind you at a pair of large wooden doors. You get to your feet and compose yourself just as the twin doors swing open, revealing—
A horse.
Well, a pony to be more accurate. A purple pony.
A larger, still far from full size, pony walks up beside her. This one is stark white with multicolored hair that seems to wave on its own as if a breeze were blowing by. The purple one speaks first.
Wait. What? Speaks? Ponies don't speak!
Your thoughts are cut off by the ponies’ words. “It worked! It really worked! We made contact with an alien species!”
“Now, now Twilight, we must show our guest some hospitality,” the white mare reprimanded; you're still not sure whether this is simply the result of your sanity being compromised. “I apologize; my name is Princess Celestia, ruler and caretaker of Equestria. Welcome, I assume you have many questions.”
You stare for a moment, unsure of what to say. “Yeah...” is the best you can muster.
“Princess, what about the thing you said about the stuff? You know, the-” The purple pony whispers into the larger ones ears. As she does so you finally take notice of the strange appendages on their foreheads.
“All in due time my faithful subject,” the princess replies. She redirects her attention to you. “What is your name and species, if you don't mind me asking?”
You reply with the obvious “Anonymous, Human from Planet earth.” You were never known to be great with words.
“Well, Anonymous, It is a pleasure to meet you. This is my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.”
“Hello!” Twilight says with an excited expression.
You give a little wave to the pony before finally stammering out some words. “How did- Why is- Who are-”
“WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!”
And that’s when, for the second time in one day, you black out.
_______________
You slowly stir from your shock induced sleep to find yourself lying in what has to be the most comfortable bed you have ever slept on in your entire life. You open your eyes to find that it is the middle of the night. Moonlight shines through the window, illuminating a regal room. You slip out of the bed and find your shoes lying near the door. As you step out into a large hallway, you take note of a few landmarks and begin exploring what you can only assume to be a castle.
After several minutes of exploration, you come into a large foyer and notice a set of doors sitting slightly ajar on the other end. You approach to door to find that it leads to a balcony overlooking a vast expanse of land. You marvel at the sight, realizing now that you are not only in a castle, but a castle built on a mountain.
“Excuse me.” You nearly pass out for a third time as you are approached from behind. You quickly turn around to see yet another pony standing in front of you. This one is a midnight blue color and, upon further inspection, has a crescent moon on her ass. After a few moments of awkward silence she finally speaks. “Oh, it’s you! Glad to see you’re awake. You gave my sister a bit of a scare when you fainted earlier. But where my manners; my name is Princess Luna. You’re Anonymous, correct?”
It takes you a moment before speaking; still pondering the idea that you might just be insane. “Yeah, most people just call me Anon.”
“Well Anon, why are you out here at such a time?”
“I could ask you the same…” you say in a somewhat flirtatious manner. On second thought… why are you out here and what the fuck did you just say to that pony?!
The blue pony stares at you a brief moment before speaking. “I am the princess of the night. It is my job to raise and lower the moon. The night is my day.” The princess takes a few steps closer to you with without breaking eye contact. You seem to become lost in her gaze as her face comes mere inches from your own. The world around you disappears and nothing else exists but you and this… beautiful creature. Visions of you and this lovely mare making love under the stars begin to flash before your eyes as your body temperature seems to upsurge suddenly. You begin to lean in towards the mare for a kiss as she returns the favor. The fire within you grows tenfold as your lips meet. Nothing else matters in the world as you take in the experience this wonderful mare is giving you.
You snap back to reality with the force of a free falling boulder. What could possibly make you have thoughts like that? Panicking you rush past the mare and make your way back to your room. Once inside, you quickly lie down and try to force the memory of the past few minutes out of your head. What could have compelled you to do such a thing?
