Welcome to my World

Welcome to my World - Chapter 4 : The Truth
By Maxis122

This thing then gained colour as the light from Max’s kitchen shined onto it. But there wasn’t just one colour, there were seven. Before Max knew it a full creature that Max had never expected to see had come into view. Could it be? Now Max had no other choice but to accept what he saw.

Stood before him was Rainbow Dash and she was breathing heavily. Max just stood in his kitchen and looked at this pony. She returned the look and then began to back away. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Max. He wasn’t going to let it just back away.

“No wait!” Max called out. Rainbow Dash stopped and looked at Max. She was frozen, and her ears were propped up. Max now had her attention but what should he say. “You can come in” he then said. Rainbow then looked down for a moment and then looked back up. She slowly approached the house and soon came to the door.

Max backed away and continued to watch her. She came to the door and then examined it. Then she walked in and looked around at her new surroundings. Max couldn’t let his eyes leave her. She was real, but how? He had now disregarded his doubt and now understood what was going on. Rainbow Dash had somehow been teleported from her world to here.

She then cleared her throat but it was dry so she coughed when she tried to talk. Max saw that she needed help so he quickly got a bowl and filled it with water. Then he placed it on the ground and slid it towards her. She recoiled a bit and looked at Max.

“Don’t worry, it’s just water” Max said as he let out a warm smile. She hesitated at first but after she licked the water she then sat down and picked the bowl up. Lifting it to her mouth she began to drink the water and soon it was all gone. After this she placed the bowl back on the ground and then she looked over at Max and tilted her head.

Max then thought if she hadn’t drank any water then she might be hungry as well. So he got up and opened the fridge. He pulled out a carrot and turn back to Rainbow Dash. Max sat on the ground and then shuffled towards her. She just continued to stare at him. Max then held the carrot out and watched Rainbow Dash.

“You can have it, go on” he said. Rainbow then reached out her hoof and grabbed the carrot. She then pulled it towards herself and all this time she watched Max. She then looked at the food in her hoof. Then she placed it in her mouth and bit. Then she munched on the carrot and Max watched. Soon she had eaten the whole carrot.

“Do you want another?” Max asked as he watched Rainbow Dash. Rainbow then looked at Max and nodded her head. Max once again went into the fridge and got another carrot out. He offered it to Rainbow and this time it she took it a lot more quickly. She munched on this carrot as well and then after this she shivered. Max still hadn’t closed the door so the cold air was still coming in.

Max got up and slowly went around Rainbow Dash; she backed away from him as he went around her. He then closed the door and turned to see Rainbow was still watching him. She had huddled up into a little ball but she left her head out so she could see Max.

The connection between the two was very shallow. Max and Rainbow Dash were both scared and puzzled about what was going on. Max knelt down and slowly moved towards Rainbow. She lay still but kept her eyes on Max. Then Max put a hand out and flattened it. Rainbow curled up a little more and her pupils got smaller. Max pulled his hand back a bit, then he closed his eyes and out his hand out again.

He left it there and he turned his head away. Then something soft touched his hand. He opened his eyes to see Rainbow Dash there with her head on Max’s hand. Her eyes were closed and she was resting her head. Max’s heart exploded in joy. He had befriended a pony from a different universe.

She spent a few seconds in Max’s hand before she released her head and looked at Max again. She opened her eyes and smiled. Max couldn’t help but smile back as he was overjoyed, though he didn’t show all of this new energy. What to do next was running through Max’s mind.

“Can you speak?” Max asked. Rainbows smile disappeared and then she coughed a little more to clear her throat. Then she looked back at Max and opened her mouth.

“Yes I can” she spoke with her soft voice. Wow, she could speak, so that means that science has got some problems already. Max put his hand on the back of his neck and then rubbed his left eye.

“How did you get to my world?” He asked. Rainbow then fell into a long silence and she let her head drop. Max got the hint that she didn’t know so he decided to change the subject. “Is there anything wrong?” Max asked. It was becoming more evident that Max hadn’t had a proper social life in a long time. But Rainbow then lifted her head and looked into Max’s eyes and spoke.

“There is something very wrong, you see. There are creatures like you who are chasing me” Rainbow Dash said. Max then thought about this for a moment, humans chasing ponies. Now things were getting weird. Then Max had a brain wave.

“Were they the people at that place an hour ago?” Max asked thinking about who it could be. She thought for a moment and then shook her head. Nope, meaning these people could be anybody.

“Are you one of those bad creatures?” Rainbow asked.

“Don’t worry, I’m not a bad creature” Max replied. She then suddenly had her ears prick up. Max looked out the front window and some lights flashed past them. He narrowed his eyes to determine what they could be. He got up and opened the back door, then he turned to Rainbow Dash and said “If you hear me say ‘I think you’re mistaken’, then fly away”.

“Why?” Rainbow asked, she tilted her head and grabbed Max’s foot. Max then had to think what he should say.

“There might be those bad creatures outside” Max said and she then recoiled. Then she got up and moved towards the back door. She turned to see Max again and then Max went to the front door. Then a sudden knocking began on the door. Max waited a few seconds and then he opened the door.

There was a man in a black suit there and he stared into the eyes of Max. He had an intimidating look on him that caused Max to want to run away. Then man looked past Max for a second and then began his speech.

“I’m sorry son, but you may have been the victim of a sewage spill” the man began. Max froze for a moment and then looked down to the ground. “If I recall correctly you went to the storage facility and there was a container with a leek. Everything abnormal you have seen is just your imagination. Try to get some sleep if you can” the man explained. Max became frozen in thought, had Rainbow Dash been a hallucination?

“Thank you” Max said and the man smiled, then he went back into his car. Max closed the door and walked back inside. He looked to the floor and saw a bit of a carrot left and a spill of water on the floor. Could it have just been a hallucination? Wait, Max then though way back, she has to be real. It started before he came in contact with the substance.

Max walked back into the kitchen and there was Rainbow Dash, sitting there. Max smiled and said “Come on; let’s get you somewhere to sleep.” Max then walked up the stairs of his house and Rainbow Dash followed him. He got some spare covers from a box and put them on the ground. Rainbow got on these and lied down. Max then put a cover over her and she fidgeted a bit, but then she settled down. Max then got into his bed and looked back to the roof.

This had been a big day, but whether he was hallucinating or not was tomorrow’s question.
