The Story of Mr Allan in Equestria
Introductions
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI woke up in my bed slightly disoriented. The smell of fresh apples and hay reach my nose as I got out my bed, I noticed I still had the note out and put it in the bedside cabinet's bottom draw so nopony would find it. I proceeded to follow the smell of apples and hay, assuming I could eat hay. I opened the door to Spike had prepared a small breakfast.
"Well your up early." The young dragon turned his head to me.
"I thought I might as well get up early to make you and Twilight some breakfast considering this is your first real day here." I walked up to the table and sat down in front of a plate of hay and an apple "Dig in!"
I proceeded to eat some of the hay. Twilight started to come down the stairs "That smells great Spike, good job!" Spike gave a proud look as he took his seat and started to dig into his food. Twilight sat down and used her magic to use a fork to pick out pieces of hay.
After we finished our breakfast's Twilight told me to get ready to head to the field so I went into my room. I grabbed my camera and put on my sunglasses, I was never more ready for something. "I'm ready!"
Twilight saw me and noticed I had my camera "Are you going to bring that to document this?"
"Yeah, while I'm getting memory's back, I might as well get some new memory's right?"
Twilight smiled "Your going to make friends here fast. Lets go."

We walked through ponyville towards the field just at the edge of town we chose to pass the time by talking "Sorry about yesterday, I never asked for your name."
"Well you can just call me Allan for the time being."
Twilight gave me a weird look "That's not a normal name for a pony."
"It's just a substitute until I can remember my real name. Hey do you by any chance know a pony named Lyra?"
Twilight sighed "Yeah I do know her, she's been trying to get me to put a copy of her book about 'humans' into the library."
"Why haven't you put it in yet?"
"Because I told her my Library only contains story's and fact's, and her book is completely based on a theory. I told her 'If it isn't a fact it's Fiction' then she claimed it's not fiction, but then I reminded her it's not a fact it's a theory."
"Well you should consider taking that book, you know so I can read it."
Twilight looked shocked "Why would you want to read such a silly book?"
"Well I know that there are infinite possibility's, that alone proves her theory is a possibility. Plus we met on the train and I got interested in the concept."
Twilight didn't judge "Why don't you ask her for a copy of the book yourself next time you see her?"
"Alright so I'll ask her tomorrow at lunch when we meet."
Twilight widened her eye's "Wow, you've only been here one day and your already dating somepony."
I gave her a 'seriously' look.
"It's not a date it's just a friendly get together."
Twilight giggled a bit "I was just joking."
I rolled my eye's "So who are these friends of your's?"
"Well there's Rarity, she's kind of a fashionista."
I sighed below my breath "There's also Applejack, she works on an apple orchard. Fluttershy who lives in a cottage as an animal caretaker. There's Pinkie Pie, she kind of a party animal, quick note when you meet here don't be surprised if she gasps and runs away, she's just planning a party for you."
"Great, this should be interesting. You mentioned a Rainbob Dashpants or something yesterday?"
Twilight giggled a bit "You mean Rainbow dash, she's a bit like you from what I've seen."
"Well then we should get along just fine."
__________________________________________________________________________
We arrived at the field, I was still wearing my sunglasses and turned on the camera, I saw five other pony's all talking. We walked up to them, Twilight was the first to speak. "Hi girls, it's good to see you again."
The one with the hat was the first to react "Well howdy Twilight, who's your friend?" this got the attention of some of the other girls.
"This is Allan, Princess Celestia sent him here for me to study his strange case of amnesia."
The Pink one, who I assumed was Pinkie Pie, took a glance at me then gasped and zoomed away leaving nothing behind but dust.
The white one with purple hair introduced herself "Hello darling, nice to meet you, I'm Rarity."
"Pleasure to meet you madam." I replied.
She seemed pleased with my manner's next pony to introduce themselves was...
"Howdy there pardner, I'm Applejack." She extended her hoof for a hoof shake. I happily accepted the hoofshake and almost broke my hoof in the process.
Next was the yellow one who looked very shy "Um....hi...I'm Fluttershy..."
I could barely hear her "Uh, what was that?"
"Um, I'm Fluttershy."
I felt ever so slightly awkward "Wait, your Fluttershy, Twilight told me your an animal caretaker."
"Well yes actually I own a cottage outside of town where I take care of all my cute animal friends." She didn't seem very shy after such a nice introduction.
"Lovely, I should visit some time, I'd love to see some of the cute animals." She smiled and moved over to Rarity and Applejack.
We finally reached the one, the only Rainbow dash, I turned to the last pony, I saw a Rainbow maned Pegasus mare walk up to me. I don't think I ever saw anything more beautiful before. "Sup, I'm Rainbow dash." I was so dumbstruck by the amazing pony I had forgotten to speak. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I snapped myself out of my state and took my sunglasses off to greet her properly.
"Uh... ...hi, Rainbow dash I'm uh....(clears throat)...I'm Allan, nice to meet ya." She gave me a confused look.
"Oookaaaay, sure nice to meet you too. Ready to watch me do some awesome moves?"
I just nodded. She then flue off to continue practicing. When she left I start hitting myself on the head "Stupid, stupid, stupid..." The camera recorded the whole thing so I knew for curtain it worked.
Twilight came up to me " Looks like somepony has a crush!" I started blushing.
"W...WHAT! No I don't, what made you think that?"
Twilight had a large smirk on her face "Well I'm pretty sure the fact that your jaw dropped once you saw her was a bit of a giveaway. Oh you were also speechless when she talked to you. And to top it all off your blushing!"
My ears pinned back "I...I...I'm just going to go watch and record Rainbow dash showing off her flying skills now." I got the heck out of there before she pressed any further.
For the rest of the morning we all watched Rainbow dash practice her flying skills. I recorded the whole thing so I could remember it later on. After it was over, I prepared to leave when Twilight and Rainbow dash walked up to me "Hey Allan, I'm headed into town to get a few things so Rainbow dash here offered to walk you home."
"Yeah then we can talk for a bit."
I blanked out for a split second. "Uh... ...yeah should give us time to talk." Twilight wrote something on a note and gave it to me then left.
Now's your chance, get to know her.
I sighed "This should be interesting."

Me and Rainbow dash were walking through Ponyville in awkward silence. Dash decided to start a conversation "So what's all this about you having amnesia?"
"I don't know, I woke up in canterlot with a few things and I could only remember a few thing's, like how to talk."
Rainbow dash seemed to accept the response "So what's that thing, you were using the whole time when I was doing my moves."
"Uh, well this thing is called a video camera. Capable of recording real time events and stuff."
Rainbow dash seemed a little interested "So you recorded the whole thing?"
"Well I thought it was something worth keeping as a memory. Correct me if I'm wrong but is it rare to see you showing off you flying skills?"
"Well I usually only ask friends to come and see me practice, I actually don't show off that often. So you wanna remember the first time you saw me doing my awesome flying skills?"
"Yes... (puts on glasses) ...yes I do."
Rainbow dash seemed to like me "Your kinda cool, hey, when you get some more spare time do you wanna hang out?"
I didn't expect such an awesome pony to suddenly offer a friendship with ME "YES! I mean... (clears throat) ...sure why not."
"Great, oh, looks like we've reached the library. See ya later Allan." Rainbow dash then flue of and I went inside.
____________________________________________________
After about an hour Twilight got home and quickly organized all of her things. She told me to wait in my room until she had the right spell. When she entered the room she had a book about class X magic, she looked at me "Alright I need you close you eye's and focus on a memory, lets say when you first woke up."
I closed my eye's and pictured when I woke up, I was in Princess Luna bedroom laying on the floor. "Now from there I can try and unlock pieces of you mind that will allow me search for your memory. This seems easier than I... ...wait WHAT!"
Suddenly I could start to hear a voice "STAY OUT SPARKLE!!! I'm blocking his memory's for a REASON!" I fell to the ground in pain, there were two pony's in my head and it was giving me a strong headache.
"GET OUT!" I yelled in pain. Twilight noticed how much pain I was going through when she entered my mind.
I opened my eye's and I was on the floor "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to find that somepony else was still connected. This is going to be a big setback."
I got onto my hooves and rubbed my head "Your not going to do that again are you?"
Twilight started looking through her book "No, if I tried entering you mind like that with another pony still connected, then we'd risk you going brain dead."
"Wow, that's... ...that's quite a punishment."
Twilight continued to look through her book until she stopped on a specific page "Right here it say's the only way I can get into mind with making you go brain dead is with a class X Subconscious spell, the problem is it's a spell that only Princess Luna knows of and even she had to write it down to remember it."
"So we just ask her for the spell at the Gala."
"It's not that simple, Luna hid all spells she created after she became Nightmare moon, so chance's are we'd have to go on quite a journey once we find out where it is." She closed the book shut and looked at me in worry "If there is another pony in your mind then they have the power to...." she paused.
"Twilight, what are they capable of doing?"
She took a deep breath "The pony connected to your mind is capable of draining all life from your body, Killing you."
I suddenly felt fear rush through my body, I gulped at the thought of another capable choosing whether I live or die. "Then lets just hope they don't kill me then, shall we?"
"Yeah"
We decided to do nothing but hope for the best until we could get the subconscious spell. I decided that to pass the time I would look at the footage I recorded with the camera. For about thirty minutes I watched Rainbow dash doing dive bombs and loops. Until I heard a knock at the door. I peeked out of my room to see spike talking to a cross-eyed mail mare, she gave him a letter and he closed the door. He then started walking towards my room. I opened the door "Hey Allan it's a letter messaged to you."
I took the letter and saw the initials CLM on the back "Hey spike if you get anymore letter's like this, don't tell Twilight about them, just bring them to me, okay?"
"Sure." Spike then went back to what he was doing before. I went back into my room and laid down on my bed. I opened the note, it was one sided this time.
If you have received this letter then you are still doing things well. I have a few programming error's preventing me from making the transition, these error's are being created by a device, it is a shard of solid purple ooze, I don't know how it got there but what I do know is it was created from the void. The gap in between the Human world, and Equestria. Once you complete this task I will give you more information on the void.
Task: Destroy Void Shard.
One last thing, nopony except you is aloud to see or touch the shard.
I put the note with the other note in the bottom draw of the bedside cabinet. Hidden. It was only after lunch so I had time to search for this 'Void Shard'. I grabbed my camera and 'galloped' outside. I wouldn't have time to check the whole town on foot so I decided it was time to test out my new wings.
My wings spread out, ready for take off. I started flapping my wings and started to hover off the ground, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It was actually quite easy, I didn't stress or get tired so I took it to the next level and started flying higher.
Once I got high enough I started scanning the area with my camera for the Void Shard. I stopped when I saw a small bit of purple steam coming from the field. The field was an open area, making the shard easy to spot. I flue over to the field as fast as I could.
In a mater of minutes I was at the field, I landed next to a tree and looked around for the shard. "Where could this thing be?" My question was answered when I looked behind the tree.
There it was...
It was giving off a strange glow as I got closer to it "Better get this over with." I raised a hoof and slammed it down, crushing the crystal. When I looked it had turned into a small cloud of smoke that disappeared to who knows where. I didn't think of it as important and decided to head back to the library when all of a sudden as I was turning around I bumped into the cross-eyed mail mare.
"Hello, I've got a letter here for Mr Allan."
I dusted myself off and turned to her "Yep that's me." She hoofed me the letter "Thank you."
"No problem, by." She then flue off. I looked at the letter and it said CLM on the back.
"Wow, that was.... ....fast." I opened it and read the letter.
Good job destroying the shard, it when you broke it the error disappeared and I can continue connecting to my Po... ...how do I undue this when I say it. Never mind. The point is you deserve a clear explanation of the void.
The void is the space between Humans and pony's, I wan't careful when I sent you to Equestria, in fact I was quite rushed that I sent you on a suicide path across the void, the process was interrupted when you were half way through the void, I don't know what happened to you for the five hours you weren't connected but when I reconnected you, you were barely alive. I didn't have any time to waste, once you had reconnected I linked you back on course and you appear'd Equestria with your new Element. I wont make the same mistake because I plan on taking my time with my transfer. Good luck, I will stay in contact. - CLM
I put the note in my mouth and started the flight home.
_____________________________________________________________
I woke up the next morning, I checked the clock it, it was nine in the morning. "Must have slept in again." I got out of bed and went into the main room. Spike had prepared breakfast again, this time it was a daffodil and daisy sandwich. Surprisingly good. Twilight told me to get ready for a stabilization spell. She claimed it would prevent the pony connected to my mind from causing any psychological damage. It would be a weekly routine.
She placed her horn on my head and I suddenly felt weird, it didn't take long then she pulled back. I didn't feel different. "So it doesn't have much of an effect right now but that's because your not in a psychologically bad state. I'm going to perform a test that might give you an image of who's connected to your mind."
I took a deep breath.
"Alright, this shouldn't take a minute." Twilight's horn started to glow and a purple orb appeared in front of me. "Stare into the orb for me please." I stared into the orb and I saw an image of myself, except it wasn't me. He had Green and red hair and a dark orange coat, His eye's were predator like for some reason. But I was sure that he was not me.... ....right?
