A Curious Tale

Well the train ride was rather dull, we derailed once, and no one even died, nowhere near as epic as I expected, then again this world isn't that epic, well at least not so far.

"Alright finally in Ponyville, I didn't think we'd make it by the end of the day after that rok appeared, that was nuts" Quinn had said reminding me that our journey was much more epic than I thought. "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow, Curiosity"

"Yep! See ya tomorrow sity!" Screwball says excitedly, we then go our separate ways.

"Hey Ditzy, why don't you head on home, I think I'm gonna go on a walk, I'll be back home by midnight" I say.

"Ok just remember that I-we live on 1408 starshine avenue" she replies.

"Alright, thanks Ditzy" I say, then start walking.

After about thirty and taking not of specific landmarks, I notice a pony squinting at me from a dark street, I roll my eyes realizing he's probably drunk, so I wave him over, and he proceeds to trot towards me.

"Hey there Curiosity, how's it going buddy" he says with a slur-wait what!

"How do you know my name, I don't recognize you" I say as he trots closer.

"What's not to recognize, it's me, Prophet" Prophet, fucking Prophet, annoyingly one of my greatest friends.

"Well hey Prophet how's it going, and how did you recognize me, not only has it been two hundred years, but we also look completely different, then again you do tend to do this kind of stuff often" I say, almost answering my own question.

"It's a skill you will earn when you're older" he laughs out.

"I'm actually a century older than you" I reply quietly.

As he gets closer, I'm able to get a better look at him. It's like he's a red Ditzy with less lazy eye, and more stripes.

"Ok, just what the fuck are you" I say in a very questioning voice.

"I'm a red and black winged, alien zebra" he replies contently.

"Hipster of the species as always I see, also we're both aliens, so there's not much point in saying that" I say while chuckling at how drunk he is.

"It's going to benefit me one day" he replies jokingly.

I laugh and ask "dude how drunk are you" his eyes go wide at my accusation.

"Wha-I'm not drunk, I've only had two blue pulses!" He says in an offended voice.

"Uh-huh, say where are you getting these 'blue pulses'" I ask.

"Club MC W1SH" he raises his eyebrow "why?"

"Hm? Oh I just wanted to try one" I answer.

He laughs "how about we go to the bar instead" he starts walking in a direction, likely towards the bar, and I follow suit.

I wake up with an aching back, my eyes still closed, I open them only to snap them back shut, due to a splitting headache. I open my eyes to see Ditzy laying next to me with a content smile. My eyes go wide and I fall off the bed to see, what seems to be a latex glove filled with...OH GOD!

I wake up, again, with a gasp, I look around to see Prophet standing above, me on the concrete, in front of a bar.

"Um, are you alright, you haven't even had a drink yet, and you're already passed out on the ground" Prophet says while chuckling.

"Uh...yeah, but I think I've changed my mind on the drink though, I'll just heading home, It's almost midnight anyways" I answer, trying to act calm.

He doesn't catch my nervousness, and says bye then proceeds to trot off. I sigh, and trot home myself.

As I'm trotting around, looking for the right street, I decide to look up at the sky and see that I still have about an hour before I need to arrive at home.

"Hm, may as well explore the outer edge of the town" I say to myself, as I start to go further out the town, until I reach an ominous looking forest.

"Oh this screams interesting" I say as I enter the forest.

After about thirty minutes of looking around, I find nothing of interest, and give up my search, until I hear something, something like...growling, I turn my head to see a really, really big manticore.

"Oh boy, this'll be fun" I say as it starts to get angry.

I go to attack the manticore when it swipes a paw at me, and I then proceed to go flying twenty feet.

"Well, this seems like a good time follow the wise words of a madman in box" I hear an ambient voice say out of nowhere.

"...run..."
