My new life in Equestriaby Razor ColoradoChaptersThe main question.DepartureNewfound PowerFirst Day as a StudentMental Regrets (AKA Short Chapter. lol)The main question.October 7th, 2010, 3:57 P.M. Northern Virginia I woke up on the spot and looked up to the clock on my phone, an Ocean Blue Samsung Intensity II. It read "3:57 P.M." Well, the ala- wait? What? 3:57 P.M.? Jesus Christ, I could've sworn I set the alarm for Noon! I realized I haven't changed my clothes last night, so I was still in my Forest Camo shirt and nylon shorts. Hell, I was out at the track for so long, I forgot to take off my black fingerless racing gloves and shoes! To hell with it, I was getting a car today! I went downstairs to find a note. "On vacation, be back in a MONTH" What in the name of God were they thinking? Well, I had my licence, and I had the keys, finally the day has arrived. I went back to the Garage and there she was... A Grayish-Silver 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 4x4, with a big V8 and big ass tyres! I saw my dad spent all week cleaning it up, and now it looks better than new. The scratches redone, the cupholders and seats restored (Despite the fact the damage was practically nothing.), windows cleaned clear, chrome package replaced, anything I could've thought of. I hit the unlock button on the clicker, opened the driver's door, sat down and went straight to the ignition. My phone fully charged, with a charger, a solar charged car battery. I shifted to Drive and turned off the e-brake, and off we went. The gas tank was near empty... Cheap sonnuvabitch! Around an hour later, I was finally at the off-road trail. Gas pedal and braking ensued. August 4th, 2013, 2:16 A.M. Location Unknown Ugh, my head! Agonizing pain... make it stop!! I heard a faint, blurry beeping of a pulse meter. My body was numb, I felt nothing, I couldn't move... I know nothing about my life, nothing of who I am, nothing I like or hate, nothing. Something was over my eyes. I heard something being lightly dipped into a thick liquid. "He seems to be doing just fine." A feminine voice whispered. "Twilight, he hasn't moved for more than two years, we have to send him away. Can you imagine how much pain he's in?" A deeper feminine voice whispered back to her. I fought to get back my bodily control, it took several minutes, but it was a massive challenge to move. I could barely raise what I thought was my arm. The higher voice spoke. "He must be waking!" Agonizing pain started to surge through my body again, I fell stiff again as I pressed my foreleg to my chest. Something held me down, I hadn't a clue what did it. "Just hold still." She said. It was the higher voice. Something surrounded my body, I don't know what, bet it released my muscles. I slowly uncovered my eyes, I was looking into a pair of purple eyes. I couldn't look away, something said "she did this, you have to thank her, so I did, as kindly as I could. They looked into mine. A hoof covered my lips. "Shhhh..." It was the higher voice from before. "Just hold still." She stood to the side of my bed, that's when I noticed I was in a hospital. She pointed to a needle in my foreleg. "You need to stay still." Something didn't seem right, but it all felt in the ordinary, aside from the pain I was in. "How did I get here..?" My voice was faint and scratchy. I couldn't hold my curiosity any longer. "We found you just outside of the Everfree forest." I heard the deeper voice, it had a white coat and a multicolor mane. It had wings and a horn, along with a smaller, purple one I couldn't take my mind off of. I looked at my body in amazement. "What?" she asked, very confusedely. I couldn't tell her, but the question was still in my mind, "What the hell happened to me?" I sat up. She put a hoof on my back. "See, he's fine." "I see." The larger one said. I saw her seeming a bit... Unsure. "I... Have a couple questions." "Of course." The short purple one said, levitating a quill and a notebook. "First, where am I, and... What am I?" She wrote down exactly what I said, I'm sure of it! "You are in Ponyville in Equestria, and you are a unicorn." She wrote that down also. Where the hell is some portal at? I need a map! Something, please! Hold on, a unicorn? I felt my forehead and there it was, a horn. My coat was a light bluish-gray, I looked into my reflection in the tile, a black mane, black as a Glock. "Wow..." I noticed a pattern, whenever somebody acts strangely or speaks, she writes it down in an excessive amount of detail, like a biography. "Who and... What are you?" My thought was right, she wrote something down every time any of us spoke. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is my teacher, Princess Celestia. We are both alicorns." "And... When can I leave..? I don't..." "You don't what?" "I don't know anything about myself..." She gasped, in shock. "Oh my... A case of amnesia..." She wrote more in the notebook. "Ehh.." Celestia nudged Twilight. "Shh, we don't want no confuse him." "Okay." Twilight spoke up. "Y- you could stay with me, if you like." I would stay with her? "But I just met you." Twilight giggled. "True, but really, I could use a roommate." I shrugged. "Only if you insist." She giggled again. I think he's ready to go!" Princess Celestia nodded. "Very well. We shall release him at noon." "Now, go to sleep, I'll be here to pick you up." Twilight placed a hoof on my back. "Okay?" I nodded, laid and closed my eyes. Princess Celestia left the room first. "Just go to sleep now." Twilight pressed her hoof to the tile and left the room as well. I was asleep before I could even tell, the sound of Twilight Sparkle's voice echoed throughout my head all night. But that's not all I sensed. DepartureAugust 4th, 11:50 A.M. Ponyville Hospital Something is in my dream... What is it? No matter how many times I attack it, it won't die!! Checking my foreleg, I saw the needle was removed. A note lay on the bedside table, reading "Fear not, what thou saw in your dream is all normal for ponies all across Equestria..." What the hell did that mean? But then I saw my first memory in my dream, it started with a mid-pitch bang, then the visual of the object appeared. A midnight black metaliod set of barrels, a larger one over a small one, mounted on a wooden base... Was this part of myself before I ended up here? This was already mind-boggling to me so I thought the smart thing would to be just to shut up until the Princesses arrived. August 4th, 12:00 P.M. Ponyville Hospital These two are mares of their word. We were boarding the chariot, Twilight had something to ask. "You don't remember anything? Like, nothing at all?" Her question brought something to mind. "I saw something familiar in my dream..." She readied the quill and her notebook. "Go on." "It looked like, a base of wood with a kind of like triangle on the back, there was a trigger, golden, how do I say this..? Projectile cartridges you put in a barrel under a larger one." I looked to her. Writing everything I said, as usual. She gave Celestia a glare in concern. "Could it be?" "I think so." Princess Celestia said. "Did she know something about it as well? Was the thing in my dream some sort of psychic spy?" I said in my mind, "Keep your mouth shut you damn fool! You're going to get yourself killed!!" My brown eyes shut in stress. "How would they know anything about me? I just awoke from a coma with a severe case of amnesia!" Hell, this could be bad. "Shit! If this is real... Dammit, it has to be!" It I kept all these words inside. "Um, sir? Are you alright?" Twilight asked me in concern. A light gasp left my lips as I pulled my head back up, my black partly-ruffled mane waving in the wind. "What? Oh... Yeah, I'm fine." The way I said it, dammit, these guys can tell a lie from the truth without thought. I saw her giving a look in disbelief out of the corner of my eye. A grunt from my lightly clenched teeth rumbled out. "You must know something about that object I mentioned earlier..?" "Well, just the fact that that's what Celestia told me to notice, if you said it." Oh, damn! She knows! "How does she know this?!" "I shall explain myself." Celestia arose as the chariot stopped in front of a castle. "My sister, Princess Luna reported that at the sight of her, you used an object like that to attack her in your dream." "Um, princess? I think you might be throwing him off." Twilight said to her. She just nodded. August 4th, 2013, 7:40 P.M. Canterlot Royal Palace "Now, come with me." Twilight told me. I followed her, she looked back every now and then to see if I was still there. "What?" I asked, eyeing her flank every now and then. "I was just wondering if you were still there." I chuckled. "Okay!" I said in a somewhat teasing tone, eyeing her flank again. "Um, what's that mark there?" A hoof pointed to her flank. "Oh, you mean my cutie mark?" I nodded in reply. "A cutie mark is a marking that appears on a pony's flank when they discover their true talent." "Very interesting." She led me to a massive library. "This is my favorite sector in the entire castle! I was born and raised around books, and this was my first library." I remembered Twilight explaining the concept of magic while we were checking out of the hospital. "Speaking of books," Twilight nodded. "are there any here that could teach me how to harness and use magic?" "Sure! I know- Wait? You don't know how to use magic?" She was shocked again. "No, not sure I've ever used it before." I eyed her flank again when she wasn't looking. "Well, I know a book from a wizard called Starswirl the Bearded. He was a magic legend! His book has everything from the basics to some of the strongest spells of all time." She led me to the spot. I narrowed an eye. "Oh really?" I asked with a slight tease, then chuckled. "Yes, really!" She plucked the tip of my horn in frustration. It hurt, but it felt good at the same time. "What was that for?" I rubbed my horn. "Nopony doubts him." She seemed pretty angry. A couple of sparks flew from the tip of my horn before I stopped rubbing it."O- okay, I'm sorry." I pressed my hoof to the floor. "Anyway," She got herself together. "this is the best book for starters, would you like to bring it to our room?" "Uh, sure. Wait... What do you mean 'our room'?" "I said you could stay with me remember?" "Well yeah, I just didn't think you meant we were sharing a room." A blush faintly appeared on my cheeks. Would we share a bed? Is she going to do something to me in it? "Oh, it'll be fine." She tugged on my foreleg. "What're you waiting for? Come on!" "Alright, alright." I followed her, everything I saw was amazing! Stained glass windows, statues, chandeliers, everything. "Here we are." Twilight opened a door, it was her room. She tugged me in. "This is the bed." It was made of silver with a purple canopy on the top of the posts (which weren't that tall) and a white blanket with her cutie mark on it. "W- we're sharing a bed?" Oh man, I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with this. But I'm not a mean guy! I want to make her happy... "Yeah!" She seemed happy about it. Did she have something for me? No, she couldn't. "Okay, if that's what you want." "Anyway," She motioned me to a corner. I followed her "This is where I keep all my personal books." Three full shelves. "And over here," she led me to another corner. "this is where I keel all my dresses for special occasions like The Grand Galloping Gala and the Summer Sun Celebration." "I- interesting." Did ponies really need privacy to change? They don't usually wear clothes. "Want to see my favorite one?" She flapped her wings. I nodded. "Okay, just wait here." She entered the little changing room to return about a minute later wearing a pink dress with golden highlights. "What do you think?" "Well, it looks amazing!" Oh shit! Did I just hit on her? Oh man, what's she going to think of this?! "Oh, thanks!" She smiled, closing her eyes. "I think you look beautiful." Dammit, there it was again! I couldn't control it thks time. A faint pink blush appeared on my cheeks. Twilight gave the same reaction. "Well, it's getting late, we should get to bed." I nodded. She headed back into the corner and returned wearing nothing, not her tiara, not her chestplate, just her beautiful self. "C'mon." She headed towards the bed, as did I. Getting under the covers and lying down, she looked at me, I was on the right side. "C'mon." "Oh, right." I got in next to her. She smiled. "Good night." She seemed exhausted. "Good night." I replied to her and stroked her cheek, she was already asleep. I faced her and fell into a silent rest myself. Author's Note Not sure how to say this, but this has been really fun writing. It doesn't matter whether others like it or not. In the end, it's all about the fun. Newfound PowerAugust 5th, 1:00 P.M. Canterlot palace I lay silent in a peaceful rest, just to awake. Waking up, I saw Twilight was gone. I just lay there, hoping for her to return soon. For about a half an hour, I just lay in the bed. That's when I remembered something from last night, Starswirl the Bearded's book. Being it was on the bedside table, I picked it up and opened it to the first page. It read "Telekinesis, Small Objects". I started to read the page, which went onto another page, and another. I never really liked reading, but this fascinated me! I reached the end of the last page. Twilight stood in the doorway, too quiet for me to notice. I set the book on the floor and took a stance. My horn started to glow a transparent light blue, then the book did as well. It slowly started to lift, it elevated to about the height of my muzzle. I stood up straight without a wobble. Which was unexpected. "Great job!" Twilight said, startling me and making me drop the book. "Oh, sorry." She entered the room to make sure I was alright. "It's okay." I rubbed my forehead. "You know, it took me several days to master that, you must have an extremely high IQ. Well, for a beginner." I was completely silent. Did she just hit on me..? No, you idiot, of course she didn't! "So..." "So what?" Her wings fluttered. "I can't help to notice..." I rubbed the back of my head. "Yes..?" "How..." My mind paused as I was about to say "you seem attracted to me.", But this came out instead; "We are compatible..." "How so?" "Well, we both have a high IQ, you have a high IQ, right?" She nodded. "How we both seem to have magic powers and how you have already accepted me as badically one of your own..?" "Well, as a princess, it is my duty to look over the land as a ruler and help anypony I can." "And why were you waiting for me at the hospital?" "First off, injuries and illnesses are very rare in Equestria. And even if there are any, it's usually just like a broken wing that heals in a couple of days." "Okay. But that still doesn't explain why you were there." I was getting aggravated, something told me that's what I usually do and always did, it never stopped. "Well, there has only been one coma in recorded Equestria history until yours, so I was sent to study any readings." "Readings? For what?" I was baffled out of my mind. "Well to start, I was given any blood test results, then I used a machine I built a while back to test readings on my friend, Pinkie Pie, so I packed that up and brought it here for a few weeks." "A few weeks, huh?" She nodded. "Did you find any records on me?" She shook her head. "I searched each and every file of our unicorn population, nothing matched your visual description. Or blood type." "Nothing? As in, nothing whatsoever?" Damn, this was heavy. "No, you are unique in colour and blood type." "How do I not share any other unicorn's blood type?" "You have a very rare one for a unicorn. A unicorn is usually born with a B, a D or a C, in occasional cases an E." "What am I?" The stress was getting to me. "O-Positive." She said with a sigh. I was about to give up on finding my origin, but she spoke. "Then again, we did find several mental conditions." "What?! You're lying!" I whipped my head in her direction. "No, I'm not!" "What are they? Do they link up to anything?" "They don't help us that much, but we found three of them," Losing patience!! "we found Aspergers Syndrome," What the hell was that? "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder," Seems familiar... Go on... "and something called 'GAD', never been reported before." ... ... ... Ya' lost me. "What the hell's GAD? It has to have been reported at a young age for somebody!" She cocked her head at me, raising an eyebrow. Awkward! "What?" "SomeBODY? Don't you mean somePONY?" ... ... ... I'm gone again... "What..?" "We say somepony. It's common sense." She said in a tone that said "DUH!" "Okay... Could I just practice magic now..?" "Sure." She took a seat on the bed (which was more like lying down on her stomach). "Well, go ahead!" "Alright." I placed the book on the floor and stood normally. The light blue glow (aura?) surrounded my horn and the book, then the book lifted from it's spot without question and moved to in right front of me. This was much easier than I though it would be, fascinating as well, especially considering I had Telekinesis abilities! Twilight seemed pretty amazed by this feat, but I didn't really see why. Was everybo- I mean pony like this? "That was amazing!" ... That sounded so queer, how is lifting a book without touching it amazing? "How so?" I asked, trying to sound as nice as I could. "Like I said, it took me several DAYS until I mastered that, and that's the simplest magic there is." "Ahh. Right." That awkward moment when you or someb- PONY, damn! Else says something like two seconds to five minutes ago and you automatically forget it. While the book was still in mid-air, I also picked up a small mirror to look at myself, the black mane, the brown eyes, the light bluish gray coat, everything seemed perfect, until I set it down to see Twilight staring at me with wide eyes. "You've already mastered Telekinesis with multiple objects..?" "Yeah, so?" "So you've already skipped to the fourth chapter!" DAMN... "You should now also know how to lift mid and large size objects." "Yeah, sure..." I picked her up with my magic, moved her to the other side of the room and laid her down on the sofa there. There is NO WAY this is happening right now. She stared at me with wide eyes again. "I'm speechless..." "I lifted you from a bed to a couch twenty-five feet away, big deal!" Was she always like this? "Which is amazing for a new student!" "Student?" What the hell is she talking about? "What do you mean?" "I'm taking you to be my student in magic!" Oh geez... This was going to be a long day... First Day as a StudentAugust 5th, 1:30 P.M. Canterlot Palace How the hell am I a student..? "Are you ready to start?" Twilight asked, seeming pretty happy about having a student. "Yeah." I was pretty tired. "You remembered chapter five, right?" I nodded. "Now what you want to do is get a solid image of the object and concentrate on just that." Twilight explained to me sitting on the couch next to me. I took a stance and got an image of the first thing that came to mind, a rare black tulip. I closed my eyes and focused, an aura glowing around my horn. Soon enough a small aura floated in the air and formed a black tulip. I turned my eyes to her, holding the flower in front of my muzzle and my mane swaying in the breeze. "Wow..." Twilight seemed surprised. "F- For me?" I nodded in a hope to make her happy. "Thank you..." She took it with her Telekinesis. That's when I realized what she meant. Did she have feelings for me? No, she was just impressed, wasn't she? "It's amazing! The form is perfect, like it as just picked, impeccable." "Really?" I asked. She nodded taking a whiff of the flower. "Can you make anything else?" I nodded, an aura surrounding my horn and forming a metal tube, about one inch in diameter and a yard long. "How do you- how is this possible? I couldn't do that until I was eightteen! How old are you?" I shook my head, spinning the pipe like a staff. "Not a clue." "Wow, this amnesia took quite an affect." She put the tulip in a small gap in her gold chestplate. "Okay, what's next?" I asked, some enthusiasm myself. "Uh, resizing." Twilight read the next chapter to me. "Ready to begin?" I nodded, already taking a stance to a small purple flower vase. "Set to roll..." My horn started to glow with the vase, starting from six inches in height, to roughly three feet. "How do you continue to perform these spells repeatedly?" "How do I know? Must be as good as you!" I said with a tease. "Yeah, right. Let's try this, a force field." She challenged me. She had a temper herself! "You're on!" Hah! She had no chance! Not usually my win, but... Heh, heh! "Alright, come with me..." She had forgotten the flower completely. She led me down to an empty castle room, destroyed by rust. "This was a royal battle room, used to settle violent disputes between the princesses or guards, that is until the latest confrontation between Princess Celestia and Nightmare Moon." "Who's Nightmare Moon?" I asked in confusion. "We'll talk about it later, now take a stance!" "Okay, okay..." I was too nice... I took a stance, starting to worry a little. "Draw!" She shot a beam at me, what was it?! Shit! She never explained the spell! I improvised, using the knowledge I had, with some tweaks. A near-solid gray orb formed around me, her purple flash of light dematerialized. "Haven't had enough?" She shot a larger beam at me. As it made contact I felt the shield gettin weaker by the second. I took every last bit of strength I harbor reinforce the shield, just enough to deflect her attack. Never... Give up... Without... Defending..! I attempted a counter attack, but fell to the ground. The world went black. Twilight's eyes widened when she saw me collapse. "No..!" She ran to my side and put her front hooves on me, one on my side and one on my flank. "Wake up, please!" I didn't hear her. "Oh, dear..." She carried me to our room and lay me on the bed. "Don't worry. I'm here." The words got to me. My eyes slowly fluttered open, my forehead sore. "Are you alright?" Twilight asked me in concern and worry. "My..." "What?" "My name..." I had a vision in my blackout, a voice called me "Iketani". Her eyes widened. "What's your name?" "I..." She nodded. "Iketani..." I laid on my stomach. She laid down next to me. "You know, Iketani, you really impressed me today..." "Oh, heh heh..." I wasn't sure what to think. "I never expected you to be so powerful." She put a hoof on my back. "And... You're very..." She paused for a second. "Talented..." "Really?" No I wasn't! Was I? "Of course, your magic is amazing. Not to mention you just started." She put a hoof to my wither. "You know, I've had extreme troubles with some of the tricks you've just completed." "I would have never expected to hear such, let alone from a princess." I rubbed the back of my head. She pushed on my wither. "But you genuinely impressed me, I wouldn't lie about something like that." "Well, that's very nice to hear." I grinned, still tired from my fall. A silence filled the room, then Twilight broke it. "So..." "Yes?" I was curious of what she was going to say. "Would you..." I nodded. "Would you like to go with me to the royal dining room for dinner?" Royal dining room. Wait, royal?! Oh shit, what do I say?! "Uh, sure, if you want me to." Damn it you dumb son of a bitch! What have gotten myself into this time..? Mental Regrets (AKA Short Chapter. lol)August 5th, 5:34 P.M. Canterlot Palace What've I done, what've I done, what've I DONE?! I lay crouched into a ball in the corner of our room with Twilight by my side. "It's okay, Iketani. I told the others, they're fine with it!" It may look bad on the outside, but I've been nuked on the inside... "T- Twilight, I can't do it!" She took my hoof. "It's okay, I swear. Just take deep breaths." I knew she was trying to calm me down, but it didn't do much. "They won't do anything to you, I promise." "How do you kn-" I was cut off by the room door opening. "Twilight? Are you coming? We await you." It was a dark navy blue Alicorn, a foggy moon as a cutie mark. Shit!! I covered myself in a blanket and pushed myself as far back into the corner as I could. "Iketani, it's just Princess Luna, Princess Celestia's sister. She's nice like everypony else." "'Iketani', you say? Your new guest?" "That's him, but he's REALLY nervous right now." Get this over with!! "May I speak to him?" "Um, I'm not sure this is the best time..." "Nonsense, he must be warmed up to the place." She closed in and pulled the light green comforter off of me, just to find me shivering, crouched as far into the corner as I could fit myself. "Iketani, dear. There is nothing to fear about us." I didn't respond. "Yeah, I don't think this is a good time, Princess." Twilight put a hoof on my wither. "I see. Then I suppose you're right. I shall go now." Luna made her way to the door. "You are welcome anytime, fellow Iketani." The door closed behind her. "Is- Is she..?" "Yes, she's gone." Twilight pulled me up onto all fours. Wow, he's very intelligent, but has a real soft, sensitive side... Could he have an emotional tide? Why does she treat me so nicely? It confuses me... I just met her, we know almost nothing about each other, what's going on? "Twilight, could I ask something?" She gave a gentle nod. "Of course." "Why are you so kind to me?" I really asked her that. Was I thinking straight? "Well, I..." She paused to think. "I was always like this. Since I met my friends in Ponyville, I was always as nice as I could be." What do I say? "Um..." "Should I just bring you something?" "Yes, please..." I started to calm down. "Okay." She left the room and I curled into a ball on the bed, soon falling asleep before I even noticed. When Twilight Sparkle returned around an hour later, she found me blushing deeply in my sleep.
The main question.October 7th, 2010, 3:57 P.M. Northern Virginia I woke up on the spot and looked up to the clock on my phone, an Ocean Blue Samsung Intensity II. It read "3:57 P.M." Well, the ala- wait? What? 3:57 P.M.? Jesus Christ, I could've sworn I set the alarm for Noon! I realized I haven't changed my clothes last night, so I was still in my Forest Camo shirt and nylon shorts. Hell, I was out at the track for so long, I forgot to take off my black fingerless racing gloves and shoes! To hell with it, I was getting a car today! I went downstairs to find a note. "On vacation, be back in a MONTH" What in the name of God were they thinking? Well, I had my licence, and I had the keys, finally the day has arrived. I went back to the Garage and there she was... A Grayish-Silver 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 4x4, with a big V8 and big ass tyres! I saw my dad spent all week cleaning it up, and now it looks better than new. The scratches redone, the cupholders and seats restored (Despite the fact the damage was practically nothing.), windows cleaned clear, chrome package replaced, anything I could've thought of. I hit the unlock button on the clicker, opened the driver's door, sat down and went straight to the ignition. My phone fully charged, with a charger, a solar charged car battery. I shifted to Drive and turned off the e-brake, and off we went. The gas tank was near empty... Cheap sonnuvabitch! Around an hour later, I was finally at the off-road trail. Gas pedal and braking ensued. August 4th, 2013, 2:16 A.M. Location Unknown Ugh, my head! Agonizing pain... make it stop!! I heard a faint, blurry beeping of a pulse meter. My body was numb, I felt nothing, I couldn't move... I know nothing about my life, nothing of who I am, nothing I like or hate, nothing. Something was over my eyes. I heard something being lightly dipped into a thick liquid. "He seems to be doing just fine." A feminine voice whispered. "Twilight, he hasn't moved for more than two years, we have to send him away. Can you imagine how much pain he's in?" A deeper feminine voice whispered back to her. I fought to get back my bodily control, it took several minutes, but it was a massive challenge to move. I could barely raise what I thought was my arm. The higher voice spoke. "He must be waking!" Agonizing pain started to surge through my body again, I fell stiff again as I pressed my foreleg to my chest. Something held me down, I hadn't a clue what did it. "Just hold still." She said. It was the higher voice. Something surrounded my body, I don't know what, bet it released my muscles. I slowly uncovered my eyes, I was looking into a pair of purple eyes. I couldn't look away, something said "she did this, you have to thank her, so I did, as kindly as I could. They looked into mine. A hoof covered my lips. "Shhhh..." It was the higher voice from before. "Just hold still." She stood to the side of my bed, that's when I noticed I was in a hospital. She pointed to a needle in my foreleg. "You need to stay still." Something didn't seem right, but it all felt in the ordinary, aside from the pain I was in. "How did I get here..?" My voice was faint and scratchy. I couldn't hold my curiosity any longer. "We found you just outside of the Everfree forest." I heard the deeper voice, it had a white coat and a multicolor mane. It had wings and a horn, along with a smaller, purple one I couldn't take my mind off of. I looked at my body in amazement. "What?" she asked, very confusedely. I couldn't tell her, but the question was still in my mind, "What the hell happened to me?" I sat up. She put a hoof on my back. "See, he's fine." "I see." The larger one said. I saw her seeming a bit... Unsure. "I... Have a couple questions." "Of course." The short purple one said, levitating a quill and a notebook. "First, where am I, and... What am I?" She wrote down exactly what I said, I'm sure of it! "You are in Ponyville in Equestria, and you are a unicorn." She wrote that down also. Where the hell is some portal at? I need a map! Something, please! Hold on, a unicorn? I felt my forehead and there it was, a horn. My coat was a light bluish-gray, I looked into my reflection in the tile, a black mane, black as a Glock. "Wow..." I noticed a pattern, whenever somebody acts strangely or speaks, she writes it down in an excessive amount of detail, like a biography. "Who and... What are you?" My thought was right, she wrote something down every time any of us spoke. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is my teacher, Princess Celestia. We are both alicorns." "And... When can I leave..? I don't..." "You don't what?" "I don't know anything about myself..." She gasped, in shock. "Oh my... A case of amnesia..." She wrote more in the notebook. "Ehh.." Celestia nudged Twilight. "Shh, we don't want no confuse him." "Okay." Twilight spoke up. "Y- you could stay with me, if you like." I would stay with her? "But I just met you." Twilight giggled. "True, but really, I could use a roommate." I shrugged. "Only if you insist." She giggled again. I think he's ready to go!" Princess Celestia nodded. "Very well. We shall release him at noon." "Now, go to sleep, I'll be here to pick you up." Twilight placed a hoof on my back. "Okay?" I nodded, laid and closed my eyes. Princess Celestia left the room first. "Just go to sleep now." Twilight pressed her hoof to the tile and left the room as well. I was asleep before I could even tell, the sound of Twilight Sparkle's voice echoed throughout my head all night. But that's not all I sensed.
DepartureAugust 4th, 11:50 A.M. Ponyville Hospital Something is in my dream... What is it? No matter how many times I attack it, it won't die!! Checking my foreleg, I saw the needle was removed. A note lay on the bedside table, reading "Fear not, what thou saw in your dream is all normal for ponies all across Equestria..." What the hell did that mean? But then I saw my first memory in my dream, it started with a mid-pitch bang, then the visual of the object appeared. A midnight black metaliod set of barrels, a larger one over a small one, mounted on a wooden base... Was this part of myself before I ended up here? This was already mind-boggling to me so I thought the smart thing would to be just to shut up until the Princesses arrived. August 4th, 12:00 P.M. Ponyville Hospital These two are mares of their word. We were boarding the chariot, Twilight had something to ask. "You don't remember anything? Like, nothing at all?" Her question brought something to mind. "I saw something familiar in my dream..." She readied the quill and her notebook. "Go on." "It looked like, a base of wood with a kind of like triangle on the back, there was a trigger, golden, how do I say this..? Projectile cartridges you put in a barrel under a larger one." I looked to her. Writing everything I said, as usual. She gave Celestia a glare in concern. "Could it be?" "I think so." Princess Celestia said. "Did she know something about it as well? Was the thing in my dream some sort of psychic spy?" I said in my mind, "Keep your mouth shut you damn fool! You're going to get yourself killed!!" My brown eyes shut in stress. "How would they know anything about me? I just awoke from a coma with a severe case of amnesia!" Hell, this could be bad. "Shit! If this is real... Dammit, it has to be!" It I kept all these words inside. "Um, sir? Are you alright?" Twilight asked me in concern. A light gasp left my lips as I pulled my head back up, my black partly-ruffled mane waving in the wind. "What? Oh... Yeah, I'm fine." The way I said it, dammit, these guys can tell a lie from the truth without thought. I saw her giving a look in disbelief out of the corner of my eye. A grunt from my lightly clenched teeth rumbled out. "You must know something about that object I mentioned earlier..?" "Well, just the fact that that's what Celestia told me to notice, if you said it." Oh, damn! She knows! "How does she know this?!" "I shall explain myself." Celestia arose as the chariot stopped in front of a castle. "My sister, Princess Luna reported that at the sight of her, you used an object like that to attack her in your dream." "Um, princess? I think you might be throwing him off." Twilight said to her. She just nodded. August 4th, 2013, 7:40 P.M. Canterlot Royal Palace "Now, come with me." Twilight told me. I followed her, she looked back every now and then to see if I was still there. "What?" I asked, eyeing her flank every now and then. "I was just wondering if you were still there." I chuckled. "Okay!" I said in a somewhat teasing tone, eyeing her flank again. "Um, what's that mark there?" A hoof pointed to her flank. "Oh, you mean my cutie mark?" I nodded in reply. "A cutie mark is a marking that appears on a pony's flank when they discover their true talent." "Very interesting." She led me to a massive library. "This is my favorite sector in the entire castle! I was born and raised around books, and this was my first library." I remembered Twilight explaining the concept of magic while we were checking out of the hospital. "Speaking of books," Twilight nodded. "are there any here that could teach me how to harness and use magic?" "Sure! I know- Wait? You don't know how to use magic?" She was shocked again. "No, not sure I've ever used it before." I eyed her flank again when she wasn't looking. "Well, I know a book from a wizard called Starswirl the Bearded. He was a magic legend! His book has everything from the basics to some of the strongest spells of all time." She led me to the spot. I narrowed an eye. "Oh really?" I asked with a slight tease, then chuckled. "Yes, really!" She plucked the tip of my horn in frustration. It hurt, but it felt good at the same time. "What was that for?" I rubbed my horn. "Nopony doubts him." She seemed pretty angry. A couple of sparks flew from the tip of my horn before I stopped rubbing it."O- okay, I'm sorry." I pressed my hoof to the floor. "Anyway," She got herself together. "this is the best book for starters, would you like to bring it to our room?" "Uh, sure. Wait... What do you mean 'our room'?" "I said you could stay with me remember?" "Well yeah, I just didn't think you meant we were sharing a room." A blush faintly appeared on my cheeks. Would we share a bed? Is she going to do something to me in it? "Oh, it'll be fine." She tugged on my foreleg. "What're you waiting for? Come on!" "Alright, alright." I followed her, everything I saw was amazing! Stained glass windows, statues, chandeliers, everything. "Here we are." Twilight opened a door, it was her room. She tugged me in. "This is the bed." It was made of silver with a purple canopy on the top of the posts (which weren't that tall) and a white blanket with her cutie mark on it. "W- we're sharing a bed?" Oh man, I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with this. But I'm not a mean guy! I want to make her happy... "Yeah!" She seemed happy about it. Did she have something for me? No, she couldn't. "Okay, if that's what you want." "Anyway," She motioned me to a corner. I followed her "This is where I keep all my personal books." Three full shelves. "And over here," she led me to another corner. "this is where I keel all my dresses for special occasions like The Grand Galloping Gala and the Summer Sun Celebration." "I- interesting." Did ponies really need privacy to change? They don't usually wear clothes. "Want to see my favorite one?" She flapped her wings. I nodded. "Okay, just wait here." She entered the little changing room to return about a minute later wearing a pink dress with golden highlights. "What do you think?" "Well, it looks amazing!" Oh shit! Did I just hit on her? Oh man, what's she going to think of this?! "Oh, thanks!" She smiled, closing her eyes. "I think you look beautiful." Dammit, there it was again! I couldn't control it thks time. A faint pink blush appeared on my cheeks. Twilight gave the same reaction. "Well, it's getting late, we should get to bed." I nodded. She headed back into the corner and returned wearing nothing, not her tiara, not her chestplate, just her beautiful self. "C'mon." She headed towards the bed, as did I. Getting under the covers and lying down, she looked at me, I was on the right side. "C'mon." "Oh, right." I got in next to her. She smiled. "Good night." She seemed exhausted. "Good night." I replied to her and stroked her cheek, she was already asleep. I faced her and fell into a silent rest myself. Author's Note Not sure how to say this, but this has been really fun writing. It doesn't matter whether others like it or not. In the end, it's all about the fun.
Newfound PowerAugust 5th, 1:00 P.M. Canterlot palace I lay silent in a peaceful rest, just to awake. Waking up, I saw Twilight was gone. I just lay there, hoping for her to return soon. For about a half an hour, I just lay in the bed. That's when I remembered something from last night, Starswirl the Bearded's book. Being it was on the bedside table, I picked it up and opened it to the first page. It read "Telekinesis, Small Objects". I started to read the page, which went onto another page, and another. I never really liked reading, but this fascinated me! I reached the end of the last page. Twilight stood in the doorway, too quiet for me to notice. I set the book on the floor and took a stance. My horn started to glow a transparent light blue, then the book did as well. It slowly started to lift, it elevated to about the height of my muzzle. I stood up straight without a wobble. Which was unexpected. "Great job!" Twilight said, startling me and making me drop the book. "Oh, sorry." She entered the room to make sure I was alright. "It's okay." I rubbed my forehead. "You know, it took me several days to master that, you must have an extremely high IQ. Well, for a beginner." I was completely silent. Did she just hit on me..? No, you idiot, of course she didn't! "So..." "So what?" Her wings fluttered. "I can't help to notice..." I rubbed the back of my head. "Yes..?" "How..." My mind paused as I was about to say "you seem attracted to me.", But this came out instead; "We are compatible..." "How so?" "Well, we both have a high IQ, you have a high IQ, right?" She nodded. "How we both seem to have magic powers and how you have already accepted me as badically one of your own..?" "Well, as a princess, it is my duty to look over the land as a ruler and help anypony I can." "And why were you waiting for me at the hospital?" "First off, injuries and illnesses are very rare in Equestria. And even if there are any, it's usually just like a broken wing that heals in a couple of days." "Okay. But that still doesn't explain why you were there." I was getting aggravated, something told me that's what I usually do and always did, it never stopped. "Well, there has only been one coma in recorded Equestria history until yours, so I was sent to study any readings." "Readings? For what?" I was baffled out of my mind. "Well to start, I was given any blood test results, then I used a machine I built a while back to test readings on my friend, Pinkie Pie, so I packed that up and brought it here for a few weeks." "A few weeks, huh?" She nodded. "Did you find any records on me?" She shook her head. "I searched each and every file of our unicorn population, nothing matched your visual description. Or blood type." "Nothing? As in, nothing whatsoever?" Damn, this was heavy. "No, you are unique in colour and blood type." "How do I not share any other unicorn's blood type?" "You have a very rare one for a unicorn. A unicorn is usually born with a B, a D or a C, in occasional cases an E." "What am I?" The stress was getting to me. "O-Positive." She said with a sigh. I was about to give up on finding my origin, but she spoke. "Then again, we did find several mental conditions." "What?! You're lying!" I whipped my head in her direction. "No, I'm not!" "What are they? Do they link up to anything?" "They don't help us that much, but we found three of them," Losing patience!! "we found Aspergers Syndrome," What the hell was that? "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder," Seems familiar... Go on... "and something called 'GAD', never been reported before." ... ... ... Ya' lost me. "What the hell's GAD? It has to have been reported at a young age for somebody!" She cocked her head at me, raising an eyebrow. Awkward! "What?" "SomeBODY? Don't you mean somePONY?" ... ... ... I'm gone again... "What..?" "We say somepony. It's common sense." She said in a tone that said "DUH!" "Okay... Could I just practice magic now..?" "Sure." She took a seat on the bed (which was more like lying down on her stomach). "Well, go ahead!" "Alright." I placed the book on the floor and stood normally. The light blue glow (aura?) surrounded my horn and the book, then the book lifted from it's spot without question and moved to in right front of me. This was much easier than I though it would be, fascinating as well, especially considering I had Telekinesis abilities! Twilight seemed pretty amazed by this feat, but I didn't really see why. Was everybo- I mean pony like this? "That was amazing!" ... That sounded so queer, how is lifting a book without touching it amazing? "How so?" I asked, trying to sound as nice as I could. "Like I said, it took me several DAYS until I mastered that, and that's the simplest magic there is." "Ahh. Right." That awkward moment when you or someb- PONY, damn! Else says something like two seconds to five minutes ago and you automatically forget it. While the book was still in mid-air, I also picked up a small mirror to look at myself, the black mane, the brown eyes, the light bluish gray coat, everything seemed perfect, until I set it down to see Twilight staring at me with wide eyes. "You've already mastered Telekinesis with multiple objects..?" "Yeah, so?" "So you've already skipped to the fourth chapter!" DAMN... "You should now also know how to lift mid and large size objects." "Yeah, sure..." I picked her up with my magic, moved her to the other side of the room and laid her down on the sofa there. There is NO WAY this is happening right now. She stared at me with wide eyes again. "I'm speechless..." "I lifted you from a bed to a couch twenty-five feet away, big deal!" Was she always like this? "Which is amazing for a new student!" "Student?" What the hell is she talking about? "What do you mean?" "I'm taking you to be my student in magic!" Oh geez... This was going to be a long day...
First Day as a StudentAugust 5th, 1:30 P.M. Canterlot Palace How the hell am I a student..? "Are you ready to start?" Twilight asked, seeming pretty happy about having a student. "Yeah." I was pretty tired. "You remembered chapter five, right?" I nodded. "Now what you want to do is get a solid image of the object and concentrate on just that." Twilight explained to me sitting on the couch next to me. I took a stance and got an image of the first thing that came to mind, a rare black tulip. I closed my eyes and focused, an aura glowing around my horn. Soon enough a small aura floated in the air and formed a black tulip. I turned my eyes to her, holding the flower in front of my muzzle and my mane swaying in the breeze. "Wow..." Twilight seemed surprised. "F- For me?" I nodded in a hope to make her happy. "Thank you..." She took it with her Telekinesis. That's when I realized what she meant. Did she have feelings for me? No, she was just impressed, wasn't she? "It's amazing! The form is perfect, like it as just picked, impeccable." "Really?" I asked. She nodded taking a whiff of the flower. "Can you make anything else?" I nodded, an aura surrounding my horn and forming a metal tube, about one inch in diameter and a yard long. "How do you- how is this possible? I couldn't do that until I was eightteen! How old are you?" I shook my head, spinning the pipe like a staff. "Not a clue." "Wow, this amnesia took quite an affect." She put the tulip in a small gap in her gold chestplate. "Okay, what's next?" I asked, some enthusiasm myself. "Uh, resizing." Twilight read the next chapter to me. "Ready to begin?" I nodded, already taking a stance to a small purple flower vase. "Set to roll..." My horn started to glow with the vase, starting from six inches in height, to roughly three feet. "How do you continue to perform these spells repeatedly?" "How do I know? Must be as good as you!" I said with a tease. "Yeah, right. Let's try this, a force field." She challenged me. She had a temper herself! "You're on!" Hah! She had no chance! Not usually my win, but... Heh, heh! "Alright, come with me..." She had forgotten the flower completely. She led me down to an empty castle room, destroyed by rust. "This was a royal battle room, used to settle violent disputes between the princesses or guards, that is until the latest confrontation between Princess Celestia and Nightmare Moon." "Who's Nightmare Moon?" I asked in confusion. "We'll talk about it later, now take a stance!" "Okay, okay..." I was too nice... I took a stance, starting to worry a little. "Draw!" She shot a beam at me, what was it?! Shit! She never explained the spell! I improvised, using the knowledge I had, with some tweaks. A near-solid gray orb formed around me, her purple flash of light dematerialized. "Haven't had enough?" She shot a larger beam at me. As it made contact I felt the shield gettin weaker by the second. I took every last bit of strength I harbor reinforce the shield, just enough to deflect her attack. Never... Give up... Without... Defending..! I attempted a counter attack, but fell to the ground. The world went black. Twilight's eyes widened when she saw me collapse. "No..!" She ran to my side and put her front hooves on me, one on my side and one on my flank. "Wake up, please!" I didn't hear her. "Oh, dear..." She carried me to our room and lay me on the bed. "Don't worry. I'm here." The words got to me. My eyes slowly fluttered open, my forehead sore. "Are you alright?" Twilight asked me in concern and worry. "My..." "What?" "My name..." I had a vision in my blackout, a voice called me "Iketani". Her eyes widened. "What's your name?" "I..." She nodded. "Iketani..." I laid on my stomach. She laid down next to me. "You know, Iketani, you really impressed me today..." "Oh, heh heh..." I wasn't sure what to think. "I never expected you to be so powerful." She put a hoof on my back. "And... You're very..." She paused for a second. "Talented..." "Really?" No I wasn't! Was I? "Of course, your magic is amazing. Not to mention you just started." She put a hoof to my wither. "You know, I've had extreme troubles with some of the tricks you've just completed." "I would have never expected to hear such, let alone from a princess." I rubbed the back of my head. She pushed on my wither. "But you genuinely impressed me, I wouldn't lie about something like that." "Well, that's very nice to hear." I grinned, still tired from my fall. A silence filled the room, then Twilight broke it. "So..." "Yes?" I was curious of what she was going to say. "Would you..." I nodded. "Would you like to go with me to the royal dining room for dinner?" Royal dining room. Wait, royal?! Oh shit, what do I say?! "Uh, sure, if you want me to." Damn it you dumb son of a bitch! What have gotten myself into this time..?
Mental Regrets (AKA Short Chapter. lol)August 5th, 5:34 P.M. Canterlot Palace What've I done, what've I done, what've I DONE?! I lay crouched into a ball in the corner of our room with Twilight by my side. "It's okay, Iketani. I told the others, they're fine with it!" It may look bad on the outside, but I've been nuked on the inside... "T- Twilight, I can't do it!" She took my hoof. "It's okay, I swear. Just take deep breaths." I knew she was trying to calm me down, but it didn't do much. "They won't do anything to you, I promise." "How do you kn-" I was cut off by the room door opening. "Twilight? Are you coming? We await you." It was a dark navy blue Alicorn, a foggy moon as a cutie mark. Shit!! I covered myself in a blanket and pushed myself as far back into the corner as I could. "Iketani, it's just Princess Luna, Princess Celestia's sister. She's nice like everypony else." "'Iketani', you say? Your new guest?" "That's him, but he's REALLY nervous right now." Get this over with!! "May I speak to him?" "Um, I'm not sure this is the best time..." "Nonsense, he must be warmed up to the place." She closed in and pulled the light green comforter off of me, just to find me shivering, crouched as far into the corner as I could fit myself. "Iketani, dear. There is nothing to fear about us." I didn't respond. "Yeah, I don't think this is a good time, Princess." Twilight put a hoof on my wither. "I see. Then I suppose you're right. I shall go now." Luna made her way to the door. "You are welcome anytime, fellow Iketani." The door closed behind her. "Is- Is she..?" "Yes, she's gone." Twilight pulled me up onto all fours. Wow, he's very intelligent, but has a real soft, sensitive side... Could he have an emotional tide? Why does she treat me so nicely? It confuses me... I just met her, we know almost nothing about each other, what's going on? "Twilight, could I ask something?" She gave a gentle nod. "Of course." "Why are you so kind to me?" I really asked her that. Was I thinking straight? "Well, I..." She paused to think. "I was always like this. Since I met my friends in Ponyville, I was always as nice as I could be." What do I say? "Um..." "Should I just bring you something?" "Yes, please..." I started to calm down. "Okay." She left the room and I curled into a ball on the bed, soon falling asleep before I even noticed. When Twilight Sparkle returned around an hour later, she found me blushing deeply in my sleep.
