Mr Hyde's Cloptastic Interactive Adventure

(Welcome friends, before we get started I'm going to tell you how this works. I will first write a chapter explaining the situation of our protagonist and at the end I will have some decisions for you to make. Who is the protagonist? All of you a collective whole are and that is why this story is written in 2nd person and you're the ones making the decisions. Decisions will be put in () like this paragraph here. Although I sometimes will give you suggestions on the decisions that you can choose from, you can also create your own, just put it in the comments and if someone else likes it, he or she can put down the same. The decision that is selected and that will be used to continue the story in the following chapter is chosen depending on which of the decisions gets the most comments down below. I'm unsure of how long I will keep this "voting" period open; it just depends on how many of you find yourselves reading this and how many of you want to play along. I think that about sums it up for now, if you have any questions or if I'm horrible at explaining things, just leave me a comment below or pm me and I'll get back to you on it as soon as I can. Enjoy!)

You wake up in a bright green field, insects, birds, and other critters go about their business in the tall grass surrounding you. The warm sun beats down upon you as you begin to sweat. From your very limited tuition of nature, you can tell by the position of the sun that it must be somewhere around the middle of the day. "Where am I?" you ask yourself, scratching the messy hair atop your head. "How did I even get here?" you begin to think. You stand up to get a better view of your surroundings, now beginning to become somewhat unnerved by the situation. You cup your hands around your eyes to block out the sun and as you look around you realize that your surroundings seem very familiar. "I have to be dreaming." you say to yourself as you look at the town close by, the forest at the edge of the field, and the pointed mountains in the distance. "This is one hell of a dream though." You say brushing your hand through the grass beneath you. "It feels so real." Your heart begins to pound. "What if it is real, what if I'm actually here in Equestria? What if I finally got what I've been wanting for so long? No, this can't be real." You say, beginning to piece together how exactly you got into this odd dream like state. Was it drugs, the classic coma story perhaps? You try to remember what exactly you were doing before this happened but no matter how hard you try, you can think of nothing. "Okay, that's it! This is just weird, I gotta wake up and besides there are not even any ponies around here so, what’s the point of staying?" You say, shaking your head back and forth, pinching your arms, and slapping yourself. "What the hell?" You ask yourself in a shaky voice, still unable to wake up and then suddenly jump as you hear a gasp behind you. You quickly whip around to see a mint green Unicorn with golden eyes staring back at you, her mouth wide open.

"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! Humans do exist!" She screams, jumping up and down with joy. "They all called me crazy but I was right!"

"Lyra." You say, realizing that the real Lyra was standing right there in front of you. She abruptly stops her joyous celebration and begins to speak again.

"How do you know my name?" She asks. You pause for a moment, scratching your head once more.

"Umm...well... that's gonna be a hard one to explain. I’ll tell you later.

"Okay." she replies with a frown. "What exactly are you doing out here?"

"I don't really know...actually. I could ask you the same?" You say.

"Well I saw a strange flash of light and the air around it seemed all distorted for a bit so, I came to investigate." She responds.

"Well, that must have been me then?" you ask.

"Looks like it." she says with a smile. "I'm glad I decided to check it out."

"I just need to figure..." You say but are interrupted as she places her hoof upon your hand.

"Sorry." She says beginning to blush as you look down at her hoof. "...If you don't mind...I've just never seen a real human before."

"Go ahead." You say with a shrug, not minding at all being able to feel the pony’s soft hoof. As she examines your hand, you begin to think to yourself once again. "This has to be real. I can just feel it." You begin feeling somewhat light headed and nauseous but very happy. "...If this is real though, the fannon was pretty damn accurate." You think, looking down at Lyra obsessing over your hand. "Eh, I don't really care if it’s all in my head, feels real enough to me."

"So, what’s it like being a human? Oh, I've always wanted to go where all you humans come from or even be one of you. You're all just so great..." She begins to ramble but you stop her.

"I'm sorry but being a human isn't all that great. We live in a vicious world where we kill and discriminate against one another for pointless reasons...I won't get into it too much. It's just not all that you seem to think it is. Maybe it’s the same with you ponies though...I really hope not. I've always just hoped that this place would be some great...sanctuary, I guess you could call it. A way to escape from my world."

"So, you've always wanted to come to our world and meet us ponies huh? It seems like we have a lot in common then. It might be a bit flipped around but we're both lost souls looking for a place to call home and that "home" is already set in our sights. It looks like you've already reached your destination. I can also tell you that our world and the ponies that live in it aren't all that they seem to be either but that's my view not yours. I'm hoping you'll love it here and I hope that if I ever make it to your world, I'll love it too." She sits down in the grass and motions for you to do the same. As you sit down she begins to speak again. "So, it looks like we've both met the right pony or...err...person. You can help me understand what being a human is all about and I can help you understand what being a pony is all about, an exchange of knowledge. Deal?"

"Hmm, how should I handle this?" You think to yourself. ("I can show you what humans are all about wink. You like these hands don't you? I'll show you how to really use them...wow, I'm really fucked up. Eh, who gives a shit? But, it seems like Lyra and I have a connection of sorts, maybe I should take this a bit slower...a bit more romantically. Oh, romance! It never worked for me back home but it looks like just about anything could happen here. If I wanted instead, I could just get out of this field right now. I've got a lot more ponies to meet in Ponyville, am I right? What to do, what to do.")

"Also, what is your name? I know you humans have very different names." Lyra says interrupting your thoughts.

"Oh, I'm (______)."
