I was city slicker (I guess)

"Don't worry honey I'll be fine."

"But mom!"

"I'll be fine." and she walked out the door.

I never told her about the bad vibe I got, I often get vibes usually bad but as often good do come up, but this one was incredibly bad, I had a vibe just like that one as I turned the corner on that alley I figured it was she was my soul mate, you know the perfect one for you.

"Wake up! Wake up shit face! Wake up hat rack! Wake up home wrecker!"

I was still trying to shift out of park and into 1st "it's a weekend dad!" That's when I snapped awake and saw that I was wearing a maids outfit.

"You thought you could get away from me?!?!"- he grew bigger-"I know more about you then you do! And now,"-a manical laugh left his evil smile-"you will work for me forever!!!!!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh" I screamed as I woke up.

"Shhhhhhhh my child you are alright no one is going to hurt you,"said a voice that comforted me and made my hair stand up.

I turned around and saw a zebra looking at me"Who are you?" I asked curious.

"They call me Zecora!" cue lighting/thunder.

"How did I get here?" I asked

"No idea my darling"well that's just freaking great "where am I?"

"In the Everfree Forest"

"And that's where?"

"You ask a lot of questions don't you?"-I shrugged she sighed-"in Equestria "

"Are all the inhabitants all like you? Like their all horses because I'm pretty sure a bipedal thing will freak everyone out so what do you have?"

"Well, give me a second" she started looking around "temporary or permeant?"

"Temporary" I would like to be me sometimes.

"Alright that should be easier I should have it ready in a hour."

Soon she was brewing the potion "so, tell me about yourself"

So I did I told Zecora my name, where I was from, why I ran away.

"Those who beat foals bloody don't deserve the foals." She was quite the rest of the time.

After a while she made the potion, I didn't notice until she cleared her throat i was bust looking at her stuff. It was lavender colored, and smelled like the outside after it rains. I took a deep breath, and drank it whole, I started felling a little dizzy I hit the floor and was out cold. Me Alan Force a fourteen year old couldn't hold a drink down? Damn

Crossed eye pegasi and spider ponies

"So, how was school today?"

"It was fine we in math we learned long division using the Gahndi principle." I often said something like this every now and then to see if they were paying attention.

"Oh really!" Good old dad for you!

Me and him use to play baseball together he would help with homework give me advice when I needed it and I guess I took it for granted but the day mom died it changed permantly we use to take the dog for a walk. But then he "gave Molly away to another family". If I talked to him without his permission he would scream and cuss at me, he made me quit school, make me find a job and the only one i could find was for working in a sweatshop for 10 hours a day, that changed over time but I missed so much that my dream of becoming an engineer went straight out a window. I don't know why I didn't run away after he stabbed me in the back literally, I guess I felt a little responsible for what happened to mom, after I left my house I bought 2 boutiques of flowers one I left on a girl that I liked doorstep the other I planted on my mom's grave then headed for Chicago.

I woke up woozy instead of screaming.

"Good your awake, I don't have to break my back diggin your grave" a voice I guess Zecora's told me

"Why would it?" I asked still felling groggy.

"There was a complication with the motion of the potion"

"What does that mean?"

"You don't want to know."

I looked at my hands but they weren't human hands they were hoofs! (Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!)

"The potion should wear out in a couple days that should be long enough to make an amulet so you can switch back in forth between forms."

"Thank you miss Zecora could you give me directions to the nearest town"

So with that I was off to Ponyville (good god who thinks up these fucking names!!!) it took a hour or two before I reached Ponyville and I was super hungry when I spotted a bakery. I haven't even walked two into when...

"Hi!! I'm Pinkie Pie!! Your new here aren't you?!?! Hang-on a second!!!" Says an extremely bright pink pony who I think was hanging from the ceiling who seemed to drink nothing but those energy drinks that have no crash later on in the day. It has only been 5 seconds since she left and she's already back." I'm Pinkie Pie!!! What can I get you?!?!?!?!"

"I'll take a muffin." I said as calmly as possible

"Ooooh! Muffins!!! You should get the blueberry muffins there so good!"

I turn around and see Gray Pegasus staring at me with one eye while the other one was staring off in space

"Now now Derpy, don't startle this fine bloke we just stopped here to get muffins of our own then go back to the tardis"

"O.K Doctor"

I was just about to grab my muffin when a purple unicorn busts in "Alan Force?!?! Has any one seen an Alan Force?!?!"

"That's me!" I say startled by my own words

"Come with me!" And she grabs me by with her Magic.

"But my muffin!!" I start to protest

Meeting miss Sparkle

Switching View points view point: Twilight Sparkle

"Spike send a message to Princess Celstia. Dear Princess, Zecora has just informed me about a new pony in town who comes from a place called Chicago, U.S.A she claims that said pony's name is one Alan Force who has no idea how he got here request assistance. Yor faithful student Twilight Sparkle. Send it Spike!

"Zecora said that he's in town right now! We have to find him now!"

After searching for 2 minutes Twilight spotted who she was looking for, simply because he was wearing cloth on his hind legs. He was a tan earth pony with a black mane and electric green eyes, she couldn't tell what his cutie mark was thanks to the cloth on his legs as previously mentioned.

switching viewpoint back to Alan Force

"So let me get this straight, Zecora told you everything about me?" I asked while running a hoof through my black mane

"Yes" replied the purple unicorn with a tattoo of a wand in a set of stars on her flank, everyone seemed to have it. ( I guess it's a thing here.)

"Also what's with the ink?" I asked staring at her flank I wasn't attracted to her! Don't look at me like that!!

"Huh?"

"You know the thing on your flank."

"Oh that! It's my cutie mark!"-Cutie mark? Are you fucking serious!!-"every pony has one what's yours?"

"Uh... I don't know... I haven't really looked."

"Hmm... Take your pants off!" She told me

"Whaaa!! I don't even know your name!!" I yelled at her.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, besides I just want to see your cutie mark."

"Phew!! I thought you wanted to do some very upsetting things." So I pulled them down and looked at my flank it appeared to be the Flag of Chicago (4 red stars) on a shield.

"Hmmm, I have no idea what it means." Ms.Sparkle said.

"I do the 4 stars represent the key moments in my city's history. But the shield I have no idea." I said.

"So tell me what's Chicago like Alan."

I flashed back to some of my favorite moments. When my mom took me to Navy Pier and we went on the ferris wheel, when we saw the Sears tower and rode the elevator's all the way to the top, when me and my family caught a white sox game. How do I describe it to her? "It's a very old town that aged well through the years it's a big tourist attraction that nets big money, but it goes straight out of are treasury and pocketed by our politicians, it stretches for miles around with a lot of different sub-cities called suburbs I lived in one of the suburbs." and with that we were at what I assumed was Twilights house it gave a new meaning to the word tree house.

"Hmmm that's weird."Twilight said looking stumped

"What?"

"Where's Pinkie and every pony else? She usually throws a party for every pony new pony here. Something must be wrong."

"Hey Twi! You received a message from the princess!" said this Purple Dragon running up to Ms.Twilght.

"Let me read it." Spike handed it over "Twilights brow furrowed as she read the letter when finally,"Alan, Princess Celstia and Princess Luna will see you tomorrow in Canterlot, don't worry though I'll make sure you get on the train safely and when you get off  guards will be there to help you find the castle."

The next morning I was on the train to Canterlot, later that day I was standing in front of the doors to the royal discussion room or something like that

Kneel before the Princess

"You may enter." said a silky voice

The doors swung open and as I walked in two unicorns with wings (or is it Pegasi with horns?) were sitting on their own thrones, the one on the right was bright white she looked like she was in her 20's in human years, while the one on the left was smaller and a night sky blueish she looked like she was in her teen's I firstfigured that the blue one was her daughter but if that's so then where's the prince/king? Then I wised up and realized both of them were princess's which meant they were sisters! "I'm an idiot" I muttered to myself.

Switching viewpoints viewpoint:Princess Luna

"Why do we have to grill this guy?" Luna asked

"We are not 'grilling' this guy, we are asking him about his place of origin"

"Sounds like interrogating to me."

"You may come in Alan Force of Chicago."Celstia said ending the discussion As Alan walked in Luna looked at his cutie mark (4 red stars over a shield) and shivered, Alan looked like a normal earth pony with a tan coat and a jet black mane with extremely green eyes. He kneeled a little clumsily.

"Now you do know why we brought you here right, Alan Force of Chicago?" asked Celstia.

"I'm going to take a stab and say, first off call me Alan and you want it know everything about my world like what's it like yattah yattah 5 hours later you will then offer me to take me home where I'll say yes and immediately go home, am I close?" Replied Alan.

Celstia had to pull her jaw up from the floor,Luna smirked at her sister looked towards Alan and said"dead on!"

"Well I will say thank you but it's a no thank you" Now Celistia and Luna had to pick up their jaws that was shocking to hear

I should tell them about the night he came here Luna thought, meanwhile Celistia was beginning to speak.

"You are not the first human here one appeared here 2-3 years ago he wasn't from Chicago he was from New Jersey, he gave us a bad impression of the human race."

"Figures, what was his name?"

"It was Mike Sorentia something like that right Luna?" Celstia asked

Luna snapped out of it "I think it was Mike Sorretino."

"Oh god!" Alan then face hoofed.

I have to tell them Luna thought I will do it now!

Changing viewpoint back to Alan Force

Great well there goes the monumental title of first man on alien planet. Here I was thinking that me the guy who ran away finally gets some respect for a change but no! Some dumb rich kid from the tanning bed gets that title and I have a feeling his daddy bought the title for him and a little plaque that says in bold font The first person to step on an alien planet while having an IQ of a rock and come back with an IQ of a extremely retarded rock o.k maybe not those last words exactly but you get the idea.

"I have something to say!" Said Luna

"What's wrong Luna?" Celistia asks looking concerned.

"The other day-"

Crash!!!!! Boom!!! Bang!!!!!

The three of us run to the window and lookout.

"What the fuck is that?!?!"

"Oh no!"

Saturday's alright (for fighting)

"What the Fuck is that?!?!?!"

"Oh no!"

"What in the name of sweet saint Ted is that?!?!" I was freaking out a pink dome is up black things are slamming into it

"Changelings" Princess Celstia said clearly wanting to shit herself but trying to look as calm as a lake.

"How long is that thing going to hold?!?!" I ask frantically looking at them they just stared up at the dome.

"Princess Luna! Princess Celstia!" Yelled a white unicorn followed by an orange pegasus of the royal guard "we need to leave now!!!"

"Come with us Alan!" yelled Princess Luna.

"No you go! I'll be fine, it's Saturday right?"

"Yes why?" Luna asked looking more confused than an English football player playing American football.

"Because Saturday's alright for fighting." I said trying to look cool.

"Be safe!"

"Can't gurantine it!" I teased.

Out there it was more chaotic then a royal rumble with almost everyone in the ring."You guys! Evacuate everyone to the bunkers or something!" I yelled at all the guards the captain lent me. They gave me a hooves up and ran off, I guess it all up to me now! I thought then I started looking for stuff that could be useful I found a hammer and a sword. I placed the sword in the scabbard for it and attached the hammer to a belt I found. And soon it was quiet except for the banging of the changelings against the dome when...

Bang! The dome collapses and all hell breaks loose!

"Good," I muttered to myself,"Come to Alan"

I crept quietly through the town looking for targets none to any avail, when one lands right in front me I start to pullout the sword when I fall down out cold.

It was the year 2015 a couple years before the accident I was riding my bike around my block back then I could care less about my looks and what people thought of me I turned a corner and boom hit a stop sign I walked back home holding my bike with a black eye and several bruises. My dad was home and when he saw me, you could see the warmth in his eyes when he walked over to me and gave me the T-Bone to cover my eye with and gave me lecture about why I should wear a helmet. But after the accident I had to look like the hardass who keeps himself calm throughout the whole ordeal no matter how stressful it is I, Alan Micheal Force had to look like I was a hardass, like I didn't give two shits about anyone else except me. But when I was home I felt like the person standing in front of a firing squad with there a fire near by.

I woke up with a pounding in my head like someone had taken a hammer and constantly smashed it on mheadache like 20 times, as I stood up and looked down I saw that I had human hands not hoofsAbout time! I thoughtI looked ahead and saw that the changeling was still there I grabbed my sword ran up behind him and said "Oi! Suzy!"

"My names not Su-" I cut him off there literally. I picked up his body and hid it in a hay cart just as a patrol showed up I jumped into said hay cart like a boss. Wait for them to past and jumped out and silently crept away I was trying to get to the castle because who ever ochrastrated this game would be chilling in the royal throne room most likely. I silently took out another with a quick clean cut death was instant can't leave a guy suffering from a bad wound, it 's just unnatural to leave a guy bleeding out there and do nothing. I was half way to the chapter when I was caught that's when I used the hammer I aimed for the head hoping to knock him out or stun him for a bit so I could stab him I didn't get the chance the moment the hammer hit  it made a dull thunk and he went flying into the nearest building and he never got up that is when I got surrounded by a whole group of them but I had one last trick up "I surrender!" I yelled and tossed my sword down.

Who's your leader?

Yeah, I surrendered I needed to know who we're pulling the strings on this thing.

"Why are we doing this? I mean queen Chrysalis failed why are we going behind her back?" One asked

"Because she'd psychotic all she wants to hear is what she wants to hear. Our new boss he gets the idea."replied a second

"I don't know, he screams alternate motives to me."

"Any new leader will on his first couple days."

"No they usually don't if they tell you all their plans."

"Shut up you!" He slaps me upside, hard I started to lose concious.

"Good job moron!" Is the last thing I heard before I hit the ground.

Switching view points view point: Princess Celstia

Celstia was with Luna when they heard the changelings talking.

"So I heard one of our squads caught a Wierd looking minotaur who they're taking to King Solomon." Remarked one

"I wonder why the king wants to see him?" Asked one

"Have you seen a minotaur? They're fucking buff!" Replied yet another

"I don't know, from their description he's not buff at all."

"Still it's a fucking minotaur, plus if isn't what the king hopes we can all ways assimilate him!" Said the third one.

"Are you sure that will even work?" Asked the first one

The third one just shrugged.

Then for no reason Luna started crying, "Luna what's wrong?" Celstia asked curious.

"It's all my fault Alan's going to die or worse!" Before Celstia could ask why Luna started talking again,"a while back I learned a spell that allows me to go Alan's universe to 'get out' and talk to some ponies or some people like they say in Chicago, yesterday I used it and right before it I winked at Alan inspite of myself he ran after me probably just wanted to talk and be on his way but I was in a rush and hastily did the spell and he was caught in the spell!" Celstia just sat their in awe not sure what to do then Luna broke the silence "I know what I have do now, good luck."

Switching View point back to Alan Force

I woke at a door I recognized as the royal throne/interrogation room.

"You'll see King Solomon soon enough."

God dang it who's next a guy who's name is Jesus?!?! Or better yet a couple named Adam and Steve! I mean Adam and Eve!

"You may come in foolish person!" Said a familiar voice that sent a shiver up my spine."

"No it can't be true!" But in my heart I know, I known it's true.

Prologue

Prologue

Running, that seemed to be the only thing I could ever do, I ran away from that drunk bastard I use to call dad. He's never been the same since mom's death I mean who wouldn't? At least the death was instantly. She was 20 minutes away from my house it was just gut wrenching knowing she was blocks away from home, when she was T-boned by a drunk driver I was 10 and from that day on for 4 years I had to work multiple jobs at multiple times to bail my dad out of prison, pay for his drinking, at some times it was so worst I had to beg for cash on street.

       One time he had his license taken away for a month during that time he made me drive his truck to the local bar and whenever we got pulled over by the cops he some how talked his way out of a fine and got me arrested! I don't know how! Any way he would beat me for the stupidest things like not posting bail quick enough (how am I suppose to waltz right in there when I don't have a license?!?! Not getting enough money to get him drunk (apparently he has been going to the same bar and knows how many drinks he needs to get drunk), Getting myself arrested (when it was his I idea to let me drive)! If I raised my hands to defend myself he would beat me harder and longer he wold beat me when he got drunk, when he was sober, if it was the anniversary of their marriage, my birth date, or the anniversary of her death. You could always tell when a child custody was coming up because the days before he wouldn't touch his flask or a beer in fact he wouldn't touch any alcoholic beverage's, yet despite that somehow he always won the cases over my cousins who couldn't be any nicer and after the cases when we got home he would beat me, hard.  So after 4 long years of this abuse I, Alan Force called the cops showed them the scars went to the bank scraped all the money I had left and headed for my cousins, the only problem was  it was in Clarksville, North Carolina and I lived in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.

Well I thought to myself I got a long way to go

Well fell free to poke holes in my plans. My original plan was to walk across the whole Fucking country! Then I wised up and decided in Chicago to stay in Chicago and save up money to buy a train ticket to Clarksville N.C not the last train to there preferably. To get where I wanted I got a minium wage job at the checkout for a grocery store that was held up every other week. One night i was walking home (when I mean home I meant abandoned warehouse by the docks) I saw this beautiful girl who was slightly glowing wink at me and run down an alley.

"Hey! Wait up!" I yelled and gave chase as I turned the corner a bright light assaulted my face and that's the last thing I saw.
