Imagine to fall down a hole and you wake up in a bright hospital...But where?

Short description: Imagine yourself just sitting there, watching MLP, after that you go to your friend and one thing leads to another so that you wake up, having amnesia and not knowing anything, but that you're in a Ponyville hospital..Wait, Ponyville?!

Hey fellow bronies, i always wanted to do a fanfic of my own, but I always lacked the inspiration and motivation…But today i finally did the first step.

It's full of clichÃ©s? Maybe. It is a little over the top at times? Can be. It's a little long for a first time FF? Well not really.

I would really like you to review and critizise my Fanfic and say, what you dislike/like and what i could do better, or what I did just right..
Remember this is still in development, and this will get updates.

Anyways, i wish you alot of fun with it, even though it was kind of hard to write, since I am german and english isn't my native language.

(I could need a cover artwork, since I can't draw anything^^ So if you're interested, send me in your commission, and It could become my cover. I really need your help there, since like I said: I suck at drawing :D)

Apple leaves

Chapter 1: White

It's snowing like crazy, just today there was tons of new snow…Might as well stay inside with a hot mug of chocolate, and watch My little Pony.

As I was watching, I had warm feelings. Colorful, bright feelings, even though nothing else was there to see outside, just blank whiteness. It even covered up some cars.

I didn't think, there was anything more normal than this usual white snow plain, since it's a nice and welcome change of they grey it usually is, which we call "city".

It's actually pretty calm in comparison. Since I live on a small street, there isn't much traffic, which is why the snow doesn't get carried away. I have to use a bus stop even further away than it is anyway at the moment, but that's fine, it's only 10 minutes walking each morning.

I was watching some episodes, as the winter wrap up song started up on my monitor.

Immediately I sang along with all the ponies, knowing that no one would mind, since no one ever asked what I do in my room…Well, if I lock it, they'd get rather mad and guessed for the worst, but luckily I was just a closet brony, and not doing anything unethical.

As I was starting to watch the 3rd episode in a row, my mobile rang. Its old, but it does the job. I immediately stopped the video, and looked at the number…

Oh, it's just Chris.

"Hey dude, want to come over?"

He asked me. Chris is the only one that actually knows, that I'm a brony, since he is one himself. It really helps, knowing that there are other people outside of the internet sharing my joy for the show.

"Very funny, you know just as I do, that I can't just come over since we moved. Besides, I'm kind of busy."

I answered in a sarcastic, but still nice voice

"Seriously, My little pony is great, but you can't just lock yourself up in your room, and watch it all over and over and over and over again, I mean look at the weather, it's a nice snow day. Come over, I'll order us some pizza, and after that, we will go out catching some fresh air."

After that he just rang up, knowing that I would take on the 1 hour bus ride, just for visiting him…And free pizza.

One extremely boring bus ride later, I arrived at the bus stop and went to his home, rang the door bell, and he let me in, greeting me, and handing me over the pizza. The room was pretty warm, my feet were heated up by the floor heater.

"So…Is it something special, that you invited me over for?"

I asked curiously, while looking around. His room is still the same, small room as always. His desk with his Computer on it, His red chairs, the wooden bed and some wardrobes, that's pretty much it. Only one big window lightened the room, together with a very weak desk lamp.

"Not really, I just wanted to return the favor."

Chris told me, while eating his pizza. He looked like always, his long hair which was just barely longer than his shoulders and with that only one or two inches longer than mine. His grey, simplistic T-Shirt and the jeans didn't tell too much about him, neither did the neutral facial expression.

"Just eat up already; I don't want to sit in this room here all day."

As usual, he was almost finished, while I had my first 3 pieces eaten.

We got our jackets and left the house.

We went down two little, completely in snow covered streets, and then came to the small frozen lake.

"Ok, I'll be honest with you. I have to share something with you."

He showed me a small cave, just so big that he and me could fit in, if we would go after another.

"This cave here, it seems to have…Something in it."

"Something?"

"Yes, something. It just appeals to me, and I don't know why."

"Well…Thanks for the pizza and all, but this isn't a reason to call me over."

But just as I replied that, the ground broke apart underneath our feet and we fell.

I didn't remember only one thing, but that I woke up in a very bright hospital. It had 3 big windows, letting in a lot of light, which made the room much more comfortable.

An unknown, but yet somehow familiar face was the first thing I saw.

"You're awake! Thank Celestia, you are alright! You…Are alright, aren't you?"

As the first of the two female voices spoke to me, I still couldn't quite see everything, so I asked:

"Where am I…And who are you? And…Ow!"

As I tried to question my reasons of being there, I noticed the pain in the head and that I remembered nothing.

I only knew that I had the worst headache of all time.

"Well, You seem to have hit your head pretty hard, you better thank our friend Applejack, since she is the one who brought you here just in time."

"Well, I was laying out seeds, and then you suddenly fell down from the sky like a stone would." She replied.

Wow wow wow, wait a second.

Applejack? Like the pony Applejack? Like in… My little pony!?

"I certainly do have a bad headache…Thanks…Eh Applejack."

"No need to thanks, It's what every pony would have done."

Again, a relation to ponies! I really hurt my head a lot I guess.

I started to open my eyes completely, and I was shocked:

Applejack stood there, and the nurse from that one episode, and everything looked so cartoony, yet so color and beautiful.

After pointing this out, I asked myself: Is this real life? Or did I just hit my head too hard? Is it a dream?

And if its reality, who am I? And why the hell is the only thing I remember the name of this orange pony with the straw hat and freckles? And wait a second...Oh my gosh!

"Wow! I am a pony?  What the hell?!"

"Well, duh. We all are."

Applejack replied in a sarcastic voice.

I couldn't believe it. I am a pony. Dream or not, it feels really…real.

But…how do I get back? Why am I here in the first place? If it is no dream, do I have to find the other side of that hole and climb it up? I…Do remember this place from somewhere.

As I was inspecting my body, I could say that I am a normal pony, around the age Applejack was. I have long, brown hair, and a lightly orange skin color.

And then I suddenly remembered, what this all was, a show made up for kids, that has a huge community and lots of fan made stuff and 90% of them are older than 15 and they still love the show for what it is and…Why is this all I can remember? And much more importantly,

What is my cutie mark?

As a true brony I just had to look at it, what would it be? Well, the nurse disrupted me.

"You should be fine, just rest a bit at home and you can go."

Yeah…Home. I think I had a home before, but I'm not even sure. I only remember that I was able to watch my little pony.

I still have to figure out, how to get back, wake up…Or not. But first things first, maybe I actually am a pony now! Or never was, or…Wow this is confusing.

I tried to give it a shot, maybe someone around knows me, and I lost track in time and were a pony for a longer time!

"Applejack, do you know me?"

I asked in hope for an answer, but she sadly replied:

"Sorry, pal. I never saw you before around here. Do you even know from where you are from? Maybe that could help. You don't seem to be a Pegasus, neither a unicorn.

Don't you remember any kind of friends, or your Family?"

"Eh…Not really. Actually, the only thing I remember is waking up here in the hospital bed and talking to you."

I said, as I wondered, how it comes that the only thing I remember is, that I love My little pony. I still wondered if this was a dream, or everything until now was just a dream…Or not. Maybe I always was a pony and the show is reality, maybe I'm actually sucked into the land of Equestria… I seriously didn't know.

"Don't you have a home of some kind?"

She kindly asked

"Not that I know…"

I had to reply.

"Well, that won't be a problem, you can sleep at our house, I own a pretty comfy-"

"Apple farm."

I disrupted her, not knowing that I shouldn't be knowing of it.

"Eh… yes. How did you know?"

"I just guessed…I guess. But is it really alright if I just sleep at your place? I mean, you don't really know me, nor do I know you."

Oh man, that was a close one. I should better shut up, if I don't want thousands of mares having personality problems, and I really don't want to confuse anyone. Or me.

"I don't think this will be a problem, and you certainly look like you could need a place to sleep so…What do you say, do you come to my home?."

Applejack grinned slightly at me

"That's really kind, just saving me and then even picking me to your home. Thanks a lot. Of course I will."

I stood up, and the nurse told me that it would be fine and all I need is some rest.

We left the hospital, and I had to see, that there was a some snow, but some of it already thawing. Everything was very bright, and colorful. It just filled me with joy.

Even though everything looked just amazing, it surely was very cold, and I shivered a little.

"Don't worry its warmer inside the house. Let's hurry up before you catch a cold as well."

Applejack told me while I was gazing upon the great lands of Equestria.

I didn't really want to hurry up as much as she wanted me to, because I wanted to see everything of this awesome place.

And if my eyes didn't deceive me back then, I saw Rainbow dash, flying quickly through the clouds to make them disappear. Her rainbow mane left a trail of six colors, and she got assisted by some other pegasi which I didn't quite remember.

But I can surely tell, that they were almost finished with the winter wrap up.

Later on, we arrived at the Shed and I got introduced to Big Macintosh, Granny Smith, and Applebloom, which all greeted me very nicely. Big Macintosh, the red big steed, just said hello with a little grin on his face, Applebloom was very questioning, but got disrupted by her older sister. Finally, Granny smith stood in front of me and asked me who I am, and what I do here. I told her, how I fell, how Applejack saved me, and then invited me over here to sleep here. "What?" She held her listening horn onto her ear, as Applejack told her: "I'll explain later, but let's get you to a bed first.

Then she showed me a small room with a stack of hay, a pillow and a blanket on it. "It's not very comfortable, but it should do the job." I nodded and I let myself fall into the bed, which felt much better than Applejack explained.

"It's alright, thanks a lot!"

I replied, as I closed my eyes and smiled

"You're welcome, but now get yourself some rest. Maybe you need just that to get your memories back. Good night." After she said that, she went outside.

I was so excited, that I thought I would never sleep, but the cold, yet nice weather still got my hurt body tired, so I fell asleep rather quickly. I wonder what will happen next, since this all still seems so unreal to me.

Colors

Chapter 2: Colors

As I awake, I stretched my body, and felt pretty good. The hay made sleeping easier than I could imagine.

But now I'm noticing that there are still so many things that I need to know. What exactly happened to me? Why am I here, who am I…Which reminds me, that I am a brony…Which pretty much means, that I should be dieing to get to know, what my cutie mark is. I was too distracted to get to look at it.

Well, nothing I can't do now.

I looked at my flank, and what did I see? There was it, my cutie mark. I seriously want to know what exactly it is, but to me it looks like a sapling of some kind.

Does this mean I am a farmer? Or did I even work for something similar to Applejacks place?

This would be awesome, since Applejack does have the best job of the earth ponies, just being outside, and apple jobbing all day. Sounds pretty nice doesn't it?

And just when I finish my monologue of thoughts, some pony is coming in, it is Applejack.

"Hey, how was your sleep…Ehm…I don't think you told me your name yet, because you couldn't remember it, right?

She looked a little confused, not knowing my name.

Well, I guess we'll have to think of something. But first off, here, have yourself some breakfast."

Applejack quickly goes out and gets a little wagon, with some Apples on it, and some apple juice.

"Yeah, we really should. And thanks for everything again."

While starting my breakfast, Applejack was looking at me, asking me a few questions: "So…You still don't remember anything, do you?"

I swallowed a big piece of apple, and then replied

"No, not at all. I guess I will have to start all over again, until I find out what happened to me of course."

I must look pretty retarded right now, just knowing that this show is what it is, but nothing else.

I think it's because my little pony is just awesome. Maybe, I am dreaming, but if I am, this is darn realistic for a dream, and to be honest, I don't really think I am at the moment.

"So…You have no job, no name, look quite strong, and you're completely lost and don't know what happened…Man, let me tell you I don't want to be you right now…That reminds me,

Applejack interrupted herself

You still need a name. You got a cutie mark?"

"Well…Yes. I actually do have one. It is a sapling of a tree."

I really don't want her to call me sapple sap or something like that, I may not remember stuff, but…I'm pretty sure that's not my name. Just some feeling I have.

"And to be honest, I think –"

I just wanted to tell her that as she disrupted me:

"That's an apple sapling, you got there. Hmm…How about Honey sap, like the honey crisp apple?"

For a second there, I thought I should say something so I get to get another name, but then I looked into Applejacks eyes, which just mesmerize you if you look into them.

I've never thought I'd say this, but damn, this pony is cute!

"Honey sap it is!"

"Good, now that you have a name, Honey sap, this will make things easier. Next should be getting your memories back. Good thing I know the pony to do the trick, don't worry!"

Applejack says quite motivated, as she pulls me out of the hay bed, almost making me kicking the wagon away.

"H-Hey, not so fast!" I yelled, as she pulled me out. I freed myself from her grip. Furthermore, we are going into Ponyville, and I'm able to see its full beauty.

I remember the bakery, and there also was the quills and sofa shop, the first looking like it would be completely eatable and the second one being in a heavy contrast to it; It looks kind of like a normal House, but with a sign at it, showing what it sells.

As we were moving on, a tree appeared on the horizon. It wasn't just any kind of tree, it had windows, and was pretty big.

Wait…this is twilight sparkles place, I remember it from the show. Or not…Agh, I don't know, but I do now that this is Twilight sparkles tree.

Applejack started knocking the wooden door, and yelled

"Hey, twilight, are you there? It's me Applejack!"

Now, a purple pony with a horn on its head, and a blue and purple mane opened the door. No mistake possible, this is Twilight sparkle. She smiled politely at applejack and said:

"Oh, hey Applejack, what brings you here? And…Excuse me, who is he?"

He. Well, better not ask me, even though I don't know it either but the fact, that this all is really real, and that I am…*sigh* Honey sapple.

"You don't want me to tell the whole story at the door, do you? It's a little longer one, so we should just sit down."

Applejack replied.

We then moved into her tree, which had a small bathroom, a small kitchen, a huge library and a bed with a basket next to it. Well, I guess that's all you need as a reader.

Applejack told twilight the story, of how I have fallen down from the sky, and that I don't remember anything. She then asked:

"Can't your magic awake or erase memories?"

"Of course, let me just get the book with the spell. I'll be back in a second."

She said, and she did. She searches just for a few seconds and then finds it.

"Here, Memory awakening spell. Let's try it!"

Wow, that should be it? Well, I guess magic makes life a lot easier. And I hope it will make mine easier and make me remember as well.

A big, purple light is glowing out of twilights horn, and then she touched me at my forehead.

I felt a mighty shock running through my body, which heated me up a lot and actually did…Not much.

I just remembered, what Fluttershy said to Rainbow Dash as she did the Sonic Rainboom in this one episode. Crap! Why do I have to remember any kind of brony stuff but nothing about me?

Wait…Brony…I was humanoid, yes…A human, that…Damn, that's it. I only remember me sitting in a dark room, as a human, which is like a pony with hands and feet instead of hooves, while watching the show. That's all.

"And, did it work, Honey sap?" Applejack asked

"Uhh…Not really. I just remembered…

No. I can't just tell them they are fictional, and that I am real, that would be too cruel, also I don't even know, maybe those two worlds coexist in harmony without anyone knowing about it. Who am I, Honey sapple (I still dislike the name, but whatever), to judge what exists and what not?

And then, just as all those thoughts came to my mind, I lied. And I am not proud of it.

"I remembered me being pretty lonely, that's it."

Twilight looks to me, with a disappointed face and just says

"Not again…I guess, you must have been influenced by some kind of magic that made you forget everything. Not even Celestia knows how to make ponies remember, that have lost their memories by another magician."

Confused as I am, I look over to them both, looking disappointed when I suddenly break the silence:

"So…What now? I don't think that I will remember everything by myself in the next few days, what am I supposed to do?"

I look around, them being as confused as I am. Well, I only remembered one part of my memories so technically I didn't lie…much.

"Well, Honey sap, you could live at our place for some time, and for us giving you a home, you just work for us. I guess, your cutie mark shows that you were a workpony all along. What'cha say?

I should work? Well, I don't know what I did before, but in the show it looked kind off exhausting. But I guess, I shouldn't deny such a nice offer so I simply nod.

"Alright, I'll ask around, maybe there IS a way to recover your memory! Just relax, and don't think about it. "

Twilight says, as she is smiling

"Alright then, Honey sap, let's get going. It's spring time, so we should start setting up some seeds, and prepare everything.

Applejack says, and I reply once more with a nod, this time smiling.

Thanks

Chapter 3: Thanks

I have been working for the apple family for around 2 weeks and it's not as exhausting as I thought, and can actually be a lot of fun! I also got to know them a little better.

At first, me and Big Macintosh planted some seeds, and watered them, and I tried to talk a little to him, but he isn't really the pony for Smalltalk, just like in the series, 90% of his replies involve the words "Eeyup" or "nope" – But that isn't a problem, since he is ok, and showed me how everything is done here.

Granny Smith is ok as well, even though I haven't had the opportunity to talk to her a lot, since she had a lot of naps in between work and we didn't really do much work together.

Applebloom is very energetic, just like the show describes her, but I didn't talk to her a lot as well, since she always tries to get her cutie mark with the cutie mark crusaders.

I found myself speaking to Applejack almost all the time, and I really got closer to her, hell I never thought I'd get so close to a pony. I really like her, for just being herself, an honest, nice, confident and beautiful pony. If you would've told me two weeks before, I would've called you crazy.

About my memories, I didn't really have something new, even though I got a potion of memories, made by Zecora and brought to me by Twilight. She went to the barn and found me while I was working, greeted me and simply said "Drink up, it could help you. If it doesn't, don't worry. Its side effects won't kill you."

That totally motivated me into drinking the green, thick…Whatever completely after looking a little worried to twilight. "Sounds…Safe. Well, all or nothing." I replied.

Everything it did was making me almost spit it out again, because it certainly tasted very sour, and I'm not a fan of sour food or drinks.

Twilight just said that I shouldn't worry, took the glass bottle back, and looked at me with a disappointed face. I excused myself, but all I got was a "It's fine, it was worth a try wasn't it?"

"I guess so." Was all I said. "Well, I still have to study a little, so see you later, Honey sap!"

She bid me goodbye, and I simply waved to her.

Yesterday I went to a hill with some stuff and came back like half an hour later since we had no work to do today, it was ok. Even though I got asked where I went, I just replied I prepared something, not knowing that Applejack had something planned for me; she wanted to introduce me to her friends, the Mane 6. Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh, I get to know ALL of them! Awesome! I had to calm down, so I don't say something stupid that I could regret sometime.

She brought me to Twilight Sparkles house. On the way there I had to hold back myself so I don't ask something I can't normally know like how the Sonic Rainboom looked like. After a while we got there and they all stood in front of it.

Since I already knew Twilight and Applejack, I got introduced to Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, Rarity and even Spike. Damn, this was an awesome moment for me.

"H-hello. I'm Fluttershy." Fluttershy said softly. "Hello there, Applejack has told us everything about you, your name was Honey sapple right Mind if I introduce myself next? My name is Rarity" She said, with a noble voice.

"Y-yes I am Honey sapple." I replied, a little overcome by bronyism.

"Hi there, so you're the one that lost memory? Well then, I'm Rainbow Dash." The brightly colored pony told me.

"Well, I'm Spike, nice to meet you!"

Afterwards, Pinkie Pie had an Idea and wanted to share it with us:

"Hey, Honey sapple, I'm Pinkie Pie! Ooh, you have almost as long hair as I have! That looks funny!

How about we throw a party to welcome you here?"

If the parties are as good as in the show, I would be the last one to deny the invitation, but…They don't know me and are so kind to me. I can't expect them to be that nice just for no reason why, can I?

"Sounds great, but do you really want to make such a huge fuzz, only because of me? I mean, you don't know me a lot and so don't I know–"

I got disrupted by Pinkie Pie

"Ooh, I know this will be a "We don't know you much but we will afterwards" party!"

Well, I can't argue with that pony when it comes down to parties I guess.

"Alright, if you insist on it, count me in!

"Great! I'll prepare everything as soon as I get to go home!" Pinkie yelled with her squeaky voice.

"Yeehaw, this will be a blast!"

Applejack neighed motivated, while looking at me, with a smile on her ace.

"Ok, tomorrow, 3 o' clock afternoon!"

Pinkie screamed

"Alright, we'll be there everypony!" Applejack replied. "See you there guys!"

We then went home. The sun was already going down, as Applejack was looking at me.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Do you think you will remember someday, what happened to you?"

Applejack replied to me, looking like she already knew the answer.

"I don't really know."

"Do you think, it was somepony that did this on purpose?"

"I…Don't really know."

"Do you think you will find your home, your family and your friends?"

I actually didn't know that either, but I just had to express my thankfulness to everypony of the barn, especially to Applejack.

"Your Home is where you are welcome, and you have somepony that cares for you, so… I guess I do have a home already."

Applejack blushed, as she just silently smiled to me.

We went home, and stood in front of the barn. "Applejack, could you do me a favor? Please don't ask anything and just follow me." She looked kind of curious, what I meant with that, but she came with me even though she asked me where we are going about ten times.

The moon was rising and the sun was gone, the weather was fine, not very cold and not too hot; it got accompanied by a gentle breeze as we were wandering. We went a little bit out of the city, to a hill, which covered the sight of the whole town.

As we reached the top, there was a picnic blanket, a basket full with food and some juice underneath a big, lonely Apple tree. I made this just before we went away to visit the Mane 6, without her knowing about it.

"With what did I do to deserve this?" Applejack asked a little confused, but touched

"Well…Where should I start? You saved my life; you picked me up, even though you didn't even know me, and you are my closest friend at the moment. I never really thanked you enough, so…Thanks!"

Applejack blushed again a little bit, and then said with her eyes closed:

"Well…Like I said back in the hospital: It's what everypony would've done."

"You've been so nice to me all the time, so let me make it up to you with this picnic, while the moon shines ok?"

Applejack nodded, smiled and sat down.

"Want some Apple juice to your Sandwich?" I asked, as I pulled out some juice in a bottle and some sandwiches

"Sure, thanks!"

She smiled and replied, as I poured some Juice in her glass, and she repeated herself:

"I still don't know how to make up for this"

"Stop saying such things, you deserve this for so many reasons, you're such an amazing pony, kind hearted, helpful and responsible. I don't know anypony who would've deserved this more than you!" I told her while looking into her beautiful eyes. Ehm…Did I just say all that?

"Wow, I don't know what to say…"

Applejack seemed kind of stunned by my words, I know I overdid it, but all of what I said was just my honest emotions for her, gathered in one sentence.

"You don't have to say anything, just enjoy the cool breeze and the moonlight while eating up."

She looked at me for a second, as she still looked unsure what to say, so she just nodded again. Then she ate up, just as I did then. After that, I packed everything together with her.

On the way back, Applejack tried to thank me like a hundred times, but I always said, that I am the one who has to be thankful.

Afterwards we went home; it was almost midnight as we arrived.

"We should sleep now; you don't want to be tired, when we have your party, do you?" I got questioned by Applejack

"Of course not, you're right, as always. Good night, Applejack." I answered, with a smile on my face.

"Good night, Honey sap. And thanks again." She replied.

Is all this really happening? I still don't really know, nor do I want to be anywhere but here.

My life couldn't be better at the moment, now could it be?

Party!

"Hey, Honey sap, wake up!"

A voice rips me out of my dreams.

"Honey sap?"

Oh, it's Applejack.

"Honey sapple, wake up now, we gotta work before the party starts!"

Ugh, really? We have to work today? Oh man. But I shouldn't argue about it, they all gave me so much for me doing almost nothing.

"Ugh…Let me stand up, I'll be right there."

"I hope so, you don't want to miss out a bath after work do you?"

Applejack replies a little strictly.

"Of course not, we'll meet outside, ok?"

Applejack agrees and goes ahead.

I needed a few minutes to get up, but then I caught up to her.

"So, what are we going to do today?" I asked her.

"Well, the apples will ripe soon, so we need to prepare the carts to carry them. Two of them are almost broken, so we need to repair them. Can I count on you?"

"Sure, just show me the cart."

I don't really know, how to repair a wagon or something like that, but I guess it won't be too hard; I'll just look what I can do.

Applejack goes into a small house, it seems it is a storage for stuff that needs a fix, since there are several things in there that seem broken, and then comes out with 2 almost fallen apart wooden carts. Funny was, that they almost have the same issues; They both have an unattached wheel, a ripped off pulling rope, a broken bottom, and one of them had a missing back plank while the other one had a missing side plank.

"Alright, here they are. How about we make this a competition? Whoever is finished last has to do one thing the other pony wants you to do, alright?"

Sounds interesting, but I don't know what I would wish myself from Applejack; neither do I know anything about fixing a wagon. But whatever, It's all fun and games.

"Ok, I'm in!"

"Alright let's start, 3…2…1…GO!"

I start off by…Attaching this wheel here, let's get it back into its place. I just have to put it here, and then stick the connection into there…Alright! Now for fixing the pulling rope, let's see. I go over here, get myself some rope, tie it onto it…Done! Now for -

"Finished! Looks like you owe me one, haha!"

She giggled a little, while she interrupted my thoughts.

"Looks like it, yes."

Oh man, why did I even do this? I had no chance in the first place. Whatever, I just hope I don't have to do something crazy.

"How about another picnic after Pinkies party? I can say, that I really enjoyed the first one.

Well, I have to do what she says. And to be honest, I really enjoyed it as well.

"Ok why not. But let me fix the wagon first, I'm almost done.

Applejack smiled, as she answered:

"Ok, we'll meet in front of the house alright? I'll go and have my bath. See you there, Honey!"

"Alright, see you!"

Now, all I gotta do is get a little wood and fix the bottom of the cart. So I get two planks, and fix it with them. Afterwards I go back in, where I find Big Mac outside of the building.

"Hey, Big Macintosh, is Applejack finished with her bath?"

I didn't expect him to fall out of his roster, which he didn't.

"Eeyup. She just went outside."

"Thanks, I'll go then."

I reply and do.

I open the door, and see the simple bathroom, filled with a toilet, a bathtub, and a hoof washer. L I let some water into the tub, and then step into it, starting to think about how awesome this day will be, and what will happen. A whole party just for me, damn! It's like a birthday party without the birthday!

After some time, I was finished, dried myself and went outside, where Applejack awaited me.

"Hey Honey, are you ready?"

I nod happily and we get started onto the direction of Pinkie Pies house.

I don't think I was more excited someday; this will be the best day of my life! …I guess, since I still don't remember everything yet. But somehow, this simple question made me smile even more than ever before.

On our way to Pinkie Pie's Party everything is as beautiful as always. There are even more flowers now, so everything is even brighter than before. Furthermore, this day is even warmer than any day before. All in all, everything was awesome.

As we pass the sofa and quills shop, I ask Applejack: "Who exactly even uses this store? I mean come on, quills and sofas? Don't you think that combination is a little odd?"

She giggles a bit and then replied: "Well, I guess Twilight helps keeping that shop alive I guess"

"Haha, yeah probably."

A few minutes later, we arrive at the eatable house which we had seen, as Applejack brought me to Twilights place. I surely wonder, if you can actually eat it, and if it doesn't rot or gets eaten by animals of some kind.

"Ooh, they're here, they're here!" Some voice says from the inside, and I would bet my life on that being Pinkie Pie.

The door opened, and I've been right; Pinkie jumps out of the house, and is hopping around a lot:

"Hi, you're finally here! We've waited for you! We got cake, and games, and music, and Gummy prepared something special for you, and you're going to love it!"

Pinkie's attitude just makes me smile, she's just as random as everyone describes it, the show AND the fandom! Her house pretty much resembles that from the inside as it does from the outside; Everything's brightly colored, and looks inviting and funny. You can almost taste the innocence.

"Hi there, all of you how are you?"

I ask around, and Pinkie just has to be the first to answer by yelling:

"Well, we had to wait for you, so until now it was almost a little bit boring, but now that you're here, we can finally party!"

Pinkie bounces up and down while she also bounces in the direction of the punch bowl.

"Wohoo, let's go!" Fluttershy…"Screams"

"Sounds good to me, what do you think, everyone?" Rainbow Dash yells, and everyponies response is a loud shout of their kind.

"Then let's PAR-TEY!" Pinkie screams, as she puts on a kind off fast party song of some kind, forming a chain with each other, and just dancing around.

We are partying for like 3 hours straight! I don't remember me being the kind of Pony that would like to dance, or do stuff like that but…Yeah it gets old, but it has to be said; I don't remember much anyways.

I also got to know them all a little better; the show described them perfectly. Twilight is a kind of socially awkward bookworm, while Rainbow Dash is like the direct opposite; She's really confident of her skills and sometimes overdoes that a little. But I guess, she really is pretty awesome.

Then there's Rarity; she's generous…If she wants to. She also is a true lady and doesn't like to get herself dirty, a unicorn with class, if you want it like that.

Fluttershy is…Quiet. She is shy, like her name would tell and she really speaks very calm.

Then there's spike. He really is very kindhearted and nice, and he actually gifted me a gem. I really didn't know what to do with it, so I told him to just eat it.

Well, last there's Pinkie. She's random. She's just…Well, Pinkie Pie. She loves parties, and fun, but she can really go insane if the conditions are right. I sure do hope I don't have to see that happen.

The party all in all is great and I really have a lot of fun. Actually, I think I could be a party pony haha! I really love dancing, and I got to dance with everyone of them.

Even though, I probably look like a total idiot while I do it, I still have fun.

I really have a good time right now, and I think there now really is NO way to make that better. If there is, then throw me into hot water and make a lobster out of me, I would like to know what it is and how to achieve that kind of epicness.

Anyway, everypony has a lot of fun and really enjoy them.

"Well, I don't like to pop your bubble, but we got to go now."

"Why do you have to leave already?" Pinkie Pie screamed with a confused look on her face. We are the first to leave, because I still owe Applejack that picnic.

"Well, that kind pony over here owes me something," She pointed into my direction, smiling a little.

"Well, what does he owe you?" Rainbow Dash asked, as she looked as curious as the rest.

"Hehe, I lost a bet and now I owe her a picnic in the moonlight."

I reply and blush a little.

"Oh my, that sounds very nice." Fluttershy whispered as calm as always.

"We won't stop your plans, so what are you waiting for?" Twilight Sparkle asks.

"Alright then, let's go honey! See you guys later!" Applejack yells in reply to twilight

I nod, and we get going, waving goodbye to everypony. It seems they still got some cake left, and just party on. But seriously, I don't mind it. I close the door, and we start walking.

We are going through the city yet again, looking at the stars. As we are there, Applejack breaks the silence with a question that I'd never really expected:

"Hey, Honey sap, I always wondered…If you would find out, that you actually belong somewhere else, what would you do? Would you leave Ponyville?" She looked curious, but also a little sad.

Damn, I really don't know. I love Ponyville, every single inch of it. I don't want to be anywhere else but…If my family misses me, my friends miss me…What should I do?

"I…Actually don't know, but to be honest…

I wouldn't mind living with that memory leak forever. I got friends, a job, a home...I don't even know if I could just switch to another place."

I really have to think about this. I…Love everything in my life at the moment. But, what if my real life is where I actually belong?

I mean…Everypony should know for him or herself, what's right or wrong, where your home is and where its not.

"Even though, I don't really miss anything, I wouldn't mind knowing my roots, but actually…My life feels complete. I'll stay here in Ponyville forever and never leave."

This is my home. I feel comfortable here. I got friends here. I got a job. Why in tarnation should I ever leave? My life is awesome and that won't change.

"I know it sounds selfish, but I really hoped to hear that." She steps closer to me, and leans against my shoulder. "I really got to like you a lot, Honey." I always wondered about that pet name, and now I remember what it means. I guess, she really likes me a lot.

And I like her just as much. I look into her beautiful eyes, pet her mane, and say: "So I guess, now that I'm sure of it, I can tell you the biggest reason, you. From the day you saved me, until today I always thought that you're special. You were so nice to me, even though you didn't even know me. Hell, I don't even think that anything I had as a so called "life" before, was even worth protecting it. And whatever brought me here, I'll have to thank that one a lot.

Thank you once again."

After that, she smiles to me, and just whispers:

"No problem, honey." She reaches out, and she hugs me.

I know, I don't remember anything, but I surely know that this was the most intense emotion I ever felt in my entire life. I hug her as well, and she closes her eyes and lays her head on my shoulder.

She just stays here, smiling and hugging me, for like a whole minute long.

Then, something even more magical happens. She pulls her head back, looking into my eyes, and then closes them while coming closer to me.

I close my eyes as well, knowing that this will be the best moment ever. And it is; our lips touch, and a shock runs through my whole body. I feel like I could fly without any magic or wings. It feels like, the whole world stops at this moment, and the few seconds our lips touched felt like years. Years filled with love.

I came to Ponyville, so that I can stay.

"Wow…I didn't think the evening would turn out like this. But I am really glad it did. I..." – I got interrupted by Applejack; "Love always finds its way. And that's a good thing, isn't it?" She smiles, and speaks up yet again. "Promise me to always stay here, ok?"

Can I do that? Of course I can. I just got myself the best reason to stay here forever. I don't care what happens, I won't let Applejack hanging.

"I promise!"

I then reach over to her and hug her once more.

This all has been planned to be a picnic, and now it is a beautiful night, and I don't care about eating anything at the moment.

We stay there for like an hour, just gazing into the beauty of the stars, the moon and hugging and kissing each other. Everything is just perfect. We stand up, and get back to Sweet Apple Acres.

We silently went in, not wanting to wake anypony up, and then went into our rooms.

"Goodnight, Honey." She says and kisses me on the cheek.

"Goodnight, Applejack." I reply as I hug her and tell her once more: "I love you."

I go into bed, thinking about my best day EVER.

Nothing will ever get me out of here, and if something or somepony does try to get me away from here, they should be ready for a fight.

Life is full of wonders, emotions, and colors. And I just felt all 3 of them.

I know it gets old, but this time It's true: My life CAN'T be better now.

Love and hate

Chapter 5 - Love and hate.

I'm…I'm flying. No…I can't fly…But I still am.

And…there's a Pony flying with me…Applejack.

We're flying above…Equestria; yes this is the way to Sweet Apple Acres.

The weight of the world seems negated to me. I feel…Great.

But what is this? In front of the shed is…A pony. It's a guy with long black hair, even longer than mine. His skin is very dark, gray but almost blackish.

He looks very upset, yet familiar. We're landing in front of the shed, him having a very mad face.

I…Can't speak, my thoughts are…Like a never ending mist out of silence and nothing else. I can't grasp the true form of anything now…He charges at me, he…Charges at me. Oh gosh who –

"Honey sapple? Are you all right?"

I got awakened by Applebloom. So…Damn, what was this, a dream of some random kind or what?

"I…Think yes. I just dreamt something very…Stupid I guess." I answer, while getting the countenance of Applebloom as an answer; she is just looking very confused. "Okay…Eh…I think it is."

I stand up, stretching myself a little while at it, and then asking her: "So…What's planned today?"

Again, I got a confused facial expression and a direct answer: "Didn't anyone tell you? We don't have to do anything this week, until the apples are ripe already that is."

Awesome, free time!

"No, no one told me, but its fine! Is Applejack awake already?"

I speak to Applebloom, while grinning with delight.

"Eh…No she is sleeping. I'll wake her after I go to the toilet"

She answers to me, while looking a little under pressure. "Don't worry, I'll wake her up. Just go, before you explode hehe."

"Thanks!" She yells.

I open the door, letting Applebloom out first and then me going after.

As we leave the room, we separate since she runs to the bathroom.

My target: Wake Applejack up. So I go upstairs to her room, and open it silently. She lies there in her wooden bed, without her hat on. The windows let in some light already, but that doesn't wake her.

I move over to her, smiling as I see her. I lean over her bed, kiss her on the forehead and whisper: "Good morning, Applejack. Get up please." She doesn't open her eyes, but smiles gently. So I kiss her on the cheek and tell her: "Come on, sweetheart. The sun is rising already, it's a beautiful day, and we don't have to work today."

She just moves around a little, seemingly getting into a more comfortable position to sleep and smiles on.

Since kissing won't help, maybe something else does. I push her a little to the side, and lie down as well, while hugging her and petting her mane.

"Don't you want to wake up today?" I ask while holding her.

"Well, we could just stay here. I'd be fine with that" Applejack finally talks to me, while leaning her head against my shoulder.

"Oh Applejack, we can't just lie here all day, hugging each other." I tell her, while hugging her a little less, moving my head away from her shoulder to look into her eyes.

"I wouldn't mind to, actually this seems like a plan to me" She whispers at me while looking at me.

"Applebloom could come up, looking after how long I take to wake you up." I say in a calm way.

She just puts her head at my chest, once more getting into a more comfortable position and ignoring what I said. I give up, I don't want to be anywhere else than here as well at the moment. We lie here for like 10 minutes, just hugging each other as she breaks the silence by a soft whisper:

"I guess, we should stand up now."

Well, took her long enough. I was all in for standing up all the time through.

"Yeah, we should." I reply softly, looking yet again into her stunningly beautiful eyes.

I pet her mane, as I stand up, and point into the direction of the door.

She nods, and stands up as well, while saying:

"Good morning to you too, Honey." She puts on her hat and we both move downstairs, when I remember: No pony knows about me and Applejack. So should I tell them? I'm not sure.

As soon as we get to the kitchen, we meet the rest of the apple family; Big Mac, Granny Smith and Applebloom, all of them are greeting us nicely.

"Howdy, guys. Sorry that I took so long, I had a hard time waking up today.

Actually, I just couldn't move because I and Honey sap were lying there too comfortably."

She tells them? Ok…I guess.

"I hope to get wakened up like that every morning from now on, Honey." She says, as she reaches over to kiss me on the cheek.

Oh boy, Applejack really doesn't care about anyone's opinion. Another reason for me to love her even more than I already do.

"I think we can arrange that." I reply with a blushing grin on my face.

Everyone reacted in their own way; Applebloom was actually smiling and gushed.

Big Mac reacted in a similar way, but left out the gushing.

Granny Smith just said: "Well, well, well. I guess Sweet Apple Acres now has a permanent new member." And grins a little.

"Thanks, all of you. Do you have anything planned for today, Applejack?"

I asked her, curious as I am.

"You better bet that I do. I planned us having a great time together. Detailed enough, isn't it?" She winks to me, as she says that.

She then points me over to the way out, we bid everyone goodbye and get going.

The day is just awesome: At first we play horseshoes, which isn't easy, but very fun. Applejack winded up winning every game, but I don't mind.

Then, we went into the forest on the mountain, where Applejack showed me an awesome landscape; Just right behind it is a cliff, which lets you watch all over Ponyville. You could see everything; from the cake shop, to Sweet Apple Acres over to Fluttershy's place

Finally, we went to the hill on which we had our picnics. We just lied there, looked at the clouds, while holding each other. Some of them looked like bunnies, some looked like sheep. One even looked like Applejack.

As we are lying here, it's gotten afternoon. The sun is still as bright as before, a light breeze makes the day not hot, but very nice.

The breeze makes the leaves shake a little, which results in a soothing sound that reminds of the sea.

I feel like nothing can break this awesome silence, and I actually never had to encounter something that disrupts awesome moments for me. This here is the exception, since it seems there's trouble down in Ponyville.

"Hey, Applejack, something seems to be wrong there. We should look, if we can help."

I tell her as she looks as well, with a scared face.

"You're right Honey. Let's go."

We ran to the town as fast as we could, as a lightning strike almost hits Applejack. It luckily misses her, even though only by a few inches.

"WHERE IS HE?!" A dark voice screams while a storm rises behind it. The speech comes from a gray unicorn with a long, black mane, longer than mine. It looks masculine, and pretty strong, as it casts spells onto Ponyville and screams on:

"WHERE IS THAT MORON? TELL ME!"

"What the hell is going on with that guy?" I yell since the storm is very loud.

"I don't know either!" Another voice scream, Rainbow Dash. Behind her are Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and Fluttershy.

Suddenly, the strange unicorn looks at me, grinning insanely.

"Now, finally I've found you, bastard." He floated down to me, looking at me with his crazy face and started speaking to me:

"So, having a nice time I guess?"

"Those spells…Discord used the same as we fought him." Twilight mentioned.

"Discord eh? So you're his disciple?" I answer in anger.

"Well, yes. He picked me up when I fell from the sky before some weeks. He told me everything about you sick abominations, but don't worry. I'll wipe you out, starting with you." He points at me…What sick Pony is this? And he fell from the sky…? Like I did?

"So…Why would you choose me first, any special reason? Not that it will change my opinion, I'll kick your ass anyway for destroying Ponyville. Who are you anyway?"

"Hahaha…Hahaha..HAHAHAHAHA."

"What's so funny?"

"You want to fight me? Yeah try it. I'll totally lose to a superior being like you. But for your information, I am the disciple of chaos itself, Jest!

Anything you can do is close your eyes so you don't see it coming!"

Just as he says that, he charges up some kind of magic on his horn and fires it. Twilight reacted and teleported us a few meters to the side, leaving a trail of destruction behind the black and white beam.

"Oh, you can dodge. Now that almost makes it interesting. I'll tell you why you first: Anything you do will stop the world from the perfect chaos. Even though my master is not alive and is banished, I will spread this for him.

But to make things fair, let's become our true forms again, shall we?

"What in tarnation are you talking about? Applejack shouts at him.

As she yells that, he points his horn against me, and hits me with some kind of magic.

My hooves turn into hands and feet, my mane into hair and my body feels...Not that unusual. I transform into a human, but yet something much more powerful. He transformed as well, and got a long, black mantle, accompanied by chains that lead from one shoulder to another.

"Remember how to fight? You better do and defend yourself, wimp!" He screams, as he throws a sword to me, which I capture with my right hand with ease.

"I don't really get the point of all of this, neither do I know what the heck I or you are, but fine, if you want it like that, you can have it." I tell him with an angry face.

"Then we shall begin!" He yells with a mad grin, as he opens his hands. "I summon you from the depth of my soul, growl for me, Arturo Durazo!" A crazily oversized scent, as big as himself, appears in his hands out of a blue beam of light.

He rushes onward to me, as I do the same in his direction. I jump, and try to hit him from above, but he parries easily. I attack from all sides repeatedly, faster than a normal eye could follow, but yet he parried every strike.

"I have no idea what is going on, but he needs our help, so get ready everypony!" Twilight said to the mane6 as she gave anyone their element of harmony.

The fight keeps up, but he is far superior to me. He strikes as fast as I do, but gets a few hits on me as my technique isn't very good.

"Hahaha, can't keep up with the chaos, now can you? Just dance some more, wimp!" He yells at me, as he strikes ferociously and with amazing speed.

I get a lot of wounds at my arms, my chest and my face, but I keep on fighting.

"Why do you even do all this nonsense, if you can just smite me with magic?" I ask him, while trying to defend myself

"Well, it wouldn't be fun, killing you so fast, so you'll suffer for my amusement! Also, you've always been better than me, but now that I posses a huge power, you will be the one to lose!!!" He yells at me, with a crazy face.

He tries to hit me from above with a heavy but slow strike, as I use the opportunity to attack him. He dodges, but gets hit and his chest has a huge scratch on it.

Yet again, he attacks slowly but with a lot of force. I dodge the attack, and can get another strike onto his already hit body. A huge cut from his left shoulder down to his belly.

"So...You really want to play like that? Very well, my friend Ahahaha!"

He stops attacking, as he floats back and upwards, as he holds the scent into the air and yells with a serious face: "Arturo Durazo, I call upon your powers, annihilate my foe!" The storm that is already in town, gets even darker and gustier, and lightning strikes everywhere, as suddenly, he channels one of them into his scent and it begins to absorb it.

"Chaos Bolt!" A huge Ball of very dark electricity flies onward me, but barely misses me due to my jump into the air. This transformation must've given me and him special powers, that we could only dream off as Ponies or unicorns, since I leap as high as he floats, almost 30 feet high.

So that's how it is right?

"CHAOS BOLT!" Yet another huge sphere of electricity flies onward to me, yet again I dodge with a jump. I land on the ground, as he already casts the next one and is ready to fire at wil.

"Any last words?"

"Actually yes. You're overconfident!" I yell at him, coughing in exhaustion as I jump up to him and punch him in the stomach with all of my power and Twilight leads the power of harmony onto him.

He can't move out of it, stunned by the power of my punch, and gets hit by the rainbow power of Friendship.

Everything seems to settle, as he lies there unconscious. Great! I did it...Ugh.

I fall down and the only thing I recall to know, is waking up in a hospital yet again.

Time

Chapter 6: Time

Not again…Not another hospital…Ugh, my head hurts, but I remember everything, so that's no problem...this hospital is pretty dull and gray, is there another one in Ponyville? And…

And why the hell does that guy lie in the bed next to me? He is still a human and I am as well, and he got hit by that rainbow beam…Did this "undiscord" him?

"Ah, you finally woke up too. Thank god, you're alright! Don't worry, we've called your parents, Chris told me your names, they'll visit you soon!"

Pa…Parents? And why the hell is this nurse a human too? Did she get cursed as well? And what is a Chris!?

What in the hay is going on?

"You're awake? Wow, took you long enough. That dumb fall into this hole really got you, didn't it?"

Eh fall? He got hit by the power of friendship and my fist in his stomach, and I have thousands of cuts all over my body, so the fall should've been the least of our problems.

"In hindsight, going to this hole really wasn't a good idea, now was it? Haha, don't worry I'll make it up to you. Next pizza goes on me as well!"

Next…Pizza? Has he lost his mind? Discord must've hit him very hard with his confusion and mind control.

"Where are we? And where in tarnation is everypony?" I ask, startled with confusion yet again.

"Everypony? Ok, no more My little Pony for you until you recovered! You really fell on your head, and passed out for 3 weeks!" He told me while looking amused by me.

3…Weeks? That's how long I am in Equestria!

"What do you say? Where is Applejack? And the others? And where is your black mantle and your scent and –"

"You really should relax. You speak stupid stuff only."

I actually feel like I'm the only one who understood what happened. It seems I'm…Wherever. Since he knows, what My little Pony is, I guess I landed where I was before I got to Equestria. That would explain, why all of this isn't colorful, bright and awesome anymore.

I actually remember some things now; my "home" is a little apartment, in which I live with my mom and my dad, but they don't really care. 2 Streets and a crossed river on, there is the hole to which I'll go and if anypony tries to stop me, I'll find my way anyway.

"Jest, we need to get back to Equestria." I speak in a serious voice.

"Hahahahaha! You really did fall on your head hard, didn't you? First off, it's me, Chris, not Jest, whatever that is. Second, Equestria isn't real!"

"Yes it is. I'll show you. We just need to get out of here."

"Well, your insanity is kind of amusing me, so go on."

"We're on the first floor, so we can just go out of the window and search for that hole."

"You mean the one where we fell? Dude, the river thawed, you can't go there!"

"Duh, I can swim over it."

"Ok, don't mind me and lead me, I'd really like to see you fall down a hole and shiver in self pity about how stupid that was"

So we jump out of the dull hospital, which looks the same way from the outside: A boring, grey block. We need to turn a few corners, as I remember the place where the hole is.

It's as warm as it was in Equestria was, so we can just swim over the small river.

"So, you're ready?" I ask Chris, confident as I am.

"Well, sure. Swim ahead!"

I do as he says, and swim first. The stream isn't very strong, so it's no problem to arrive at the other side at the hole.

Chris arrives seconds later than I do.

"Now, then jump, will be a funny thing to watch."

I just throw a serious glimpse over to him, as I see that there is a second hole, which sparkles a little. That must be, where we fell into.

"Here goes nothing!" I yell, as I jump into the hole. Suddenly, my whole body feels like it gets torn apart and being rebuild somewhere else.

This time, I landed in the forest, but didn't fall. I'm back in Equestria. That's how easy it is? Oh wow, that's cool.

I'm no human anymore, I'm in my Pony form again.

Shortly afterwards, Chris falls on my back, in his Pony form as well.

"Wow, this actually worked out! WE ARE IN EQUESTRIA OH MY GOD! The bright colors, the beautiful scenery, and over there is…This Ponyville? Oh my gosh!"

Bronyism took over the better of him, as he looks around to see what else is there.

"Ahem. Excuse me please, I'll go see Applejack and the others of the mane 6, since I would like to know, why you can't remember anything and why we got teleported away."

"You know the mane 6? REALLY? So you mean I get to know Pinkie Pie? Oh my god."

He falls over because all of this is about 20% too cool for him I guess.

I just pull him after me to Ponyville. Everything looks as normal, the bright village that it was always and seems like it will always stay like that.

A few new houses are here, which really is weird, since I didn't notice them back when I fought Jest…Or Chris, or whatever.

He finally woke up again, as he runs everywhere in Ponyville to see if it's real or not and to get a closer look.

He really reminds me of Pinkie Pie, so that fits I guess.

The streets are pretty empty, everyone we meet is Bonbon, I wave to her, and Jest does as well. I'll stick to Jest, since that's his pony name.

The first thing we are heading to is Sweet Apple Acres. I don't see anyone around, so I just knock on the door.

"Hello?" Granny Smith is at the door, asking.

"Hey Granny Smith, it's me, Honey sapple." I replied, as Jest had to giggle a little and whispered: "What a retarded na-ame, Haha!"

"Honey sapple, you are finally back! Where have you been the whole year long?

"Y-Y-YEAR?! I was only gone for one day or two, that's it!"

Wow. That…Means Applejack was alone for a whole year long and didn't know what to do, so I asked: "Eh…Never mind. Where is Applejack?" I ask in hesitation

"She's upstairs, she sleeps a lot, and she is very depressed. I think you should cheer her up."

"Thanks Granny, we'll talk later! Jest, just go around do something in Ponyville, I need to make something clear."

"Meh. Just when it gets exciting, the commercial plops in." He says as he moves away.

I go upstairs very fast, as I silently go into Applejack's room. She wakes up from me coming in.

"For Pete's sake, how many times again? I'm not hungry!" She yells at me, while pulling her blanket over her head.

"I'm no food, silly." I say as I move in.

"H-Honey…Is this really you?" She looks at me very confused, with a tear in her eye.

"Yes it's me. I somehow got carried away in the fight I guess –" I get interrupted by her running to me, hugging me while shedding a tear.

I pet her back, as she tries to speak to me but I can barely understand what she says while she cries.

"W-w-why were yo-u gone fo an en-tire ye-e-ear?"

"I was only gone for one day in my world. I remember a little more about my roots, but I don't care. I got up in a hospital, and even fled out of it, just so I can get back here. I'm very sorry I let you alone for so long."

After a while of tears and sobs, and me explaining where I come from she could speak properly again.

"You…Got back home, but came here? Why?

"I promised you, I'd always stay here, where my real home is." I tell her as I move closer to her, and we kiss for our second time.

I feel the same emotion as on our first kiss, the same shock runs through my body, the same happy and joyful thoughts run through my head and the same physical reaction; my heart beats so fast, it's insane that it doesn't explode.

But then again, I remember how long I let her alone, what questions she must've asked herself…If I left her because I have somepony else, if I don't like her anymore or if I'm afraid of anything.

Actually, I feel very guilty even though it wasn't my fault…It actually was Jest, since he was the one to transform me into a human of some kind and made me fight him.

I really didn't mean to leave, it…wasn't what I had planned for Applejack. And actually, I really feel like punching Jest now, a lot. Even though it was discords crazy mind control, I still feel angry at him for no realistic reason.

But to be really honest: I'm just happy I'm back at home.

Chrest

Chapter 7: Chrest

Even though I'm just glad that I'm back where I belong, and in the arms of my special somepony, I'm still wondering…How did we get teleported? Why did Jest and I have super powers as we fought in Equestria? I'm a curious person, so I'm going to ask somepony about it. Obviously, the pony I am talking about is Twilight. She's the smartest, and maybe she knows something about humans in Equestria…

Even Applejack got curious, after she stopped crying a minute ago. Still in my hooves,

she looks at me, with an asking face and asks me while opening her eyes a little: "Honey…You don't know what happened there, do you?"

I knew that she would ask this sometime. Since I don't, I tell her with a disappointed face: "Sorry, I don't. I do, however, know that in my world I look exactly the same as I did as Jest transformed me…But I don't have this super powers as I'm in the real world.

So…Why here? And he gave me this strange, grey sword back then, it seemed like he kept it for me…Maybe Twilight Sparkle knows something about all of these crazy happenings.

"If anypony knows something about this, then it's for sure that this pony's name is Twilight! Let's ask her, maybe we get some information."

I better get Jest with me as well; he doesn't seem to remember anything about this fight nor the fact how humans work in Equestria.

We leave the barn, wave goodbye to Big Mac who happened to walk towards us, and seemed to be a little confused by the fact that I'm back.

"You're back?" He asks me with big eyes and a very confused face.

"Eh, I will explain this to you later. We have to do something first." I answer and we go on.

"I accidentally brought somepony with me. We have to find him as well; he is involved in all of this just as I am." I tell to Applejack as we walk away from the barn.

"Huh? Who do you mean?" She asks as she looks at me.

"Well…Jest."

"You mean the guy with the scent that wanted to kill you?"

"Ehm…Yes. In the human world, we are best friends and he is actually the one that brought me here. I owe him a lot, and the least I can give him is knowledge. He doesn't seem to remember anything about the fight."

Since he loves Pinkie Pie, he should be somewhere around her place. And I am right; we see him through a window of the cake shop, baking cupcakes with pinkie.

Haha, I knew it. He still sucks at baking as a pony, just as he did as we tried to bake pizza on our own.

By the way…He owes me a pizza.

"So…He probably got manipulated by Discords magic, and now thanks to the elements of Harmony, he is back to normal?" Applejack interrupts my banal thoughts.

"Exactly! So let's fetch him, and get going to Twilight."

We knock on the door, and see Pinkie pie jumping over to it, as we look through the window.

"Oh, hi Applejack and OH MY GOSH! Honey sapple, you are back! Applejack told me how you two kissed and loved each other and then you ran away in the fight because you were too weak to fight on, and that Jest guy ran away as well…Or something like that!

Why are you back? And where were you running at?"

…Running…Away…? I got teleport – Whatever…I'll explain it to her later.

"Eh…I'll explain this later. Could I talk to Jest for a second?" I ask while a little in hurry.

"Sure, he's over there decorating the cupcakes." Pinkie said, while looking happily at me, as usual.

I go over to him, while Applejack discusses something with Pinkie Pie. Well, they are girls after all, so they'll chat and talk about stuff.

"I always told you, you fail at baking!" I yell at Jest, as he tries to decorate the cupcakes in Pink-red colors, but fails horribly. It was supposed to have a Pinkie face on it, now it looks like some kind of horrible, poorly drawn cupcakes-reference, which could give me nightmares.

"See if I care, douche bag. I'm still better at baking than you are!" He replied with an angry face, and some sweat drops off his forehead. He seems slightly upset, because it didn't turn out as he wanted.

"Well, I never said that I'm better at this. But to get to the point; you don't remember any of the fighting or time spent here, so I'll recap this for you…"

I take in a veeeeery deep breath and start talking at an insane speed:

"We both fell into this hole, I woke up in a hospital, got picked up by Applejack, she got me a home, a job and with her company of the whole apple family some very good friends and a family that actually cares about me. After some time, Applejack and I got together, but then you came and were all like 'I'm the boss, fear me', afterwards we had an awesomely epic fight as you turned me back to human and you hurled lightning bolts of pure chaos at me with your scent called 'Arturo durazo' which somehow sounds like a Mexican guy, who wears sunglasses. After that we woke up and well, that's how you got your memory back."

He now looks at me, with his jaw almost dropped of his head and seems to be kind of unsure what to say.

After almost half a minute, he gathered himself up and started to ask: "Are…You alright? That sounded like a big pile of…Stuff."

So…After half an hour of Q&A we got to the point; so I told AJ and Pinkie that we have to leave now, but she wanted to come with us. "The cupcakes can be cupcake'd when we come back!" She said.

Now we're standing in front of her house, and are getting going.

As soon as we start, I got to think: How did Jest make friends with Pinkie Pie so fast? But then I remembered; it's Pinkie Pie.

On our way, we see some other ponies: Bon Bon is walking around and greets us, lifting one eyebrow up: "Hi there, so…When did you come back Honey sapple? And who is this colt next to you?"

"I'm Chr – Jest." He quickly corrects himself, getting a little sweaty.

"Chrest?" Bon Bon asks, as she raises the other eyebrow and puts down the left one.

"No, it's Jest. My name is Jest. I'm new to Ponyville, nice to meet you."

He tells her, with a very obvious false grin.

He sucks at baking and lying. So nothing new since the pony transform.

"Eh…Alright. Nice to meet you too then, Jest. I better get going, see you all later!"

She bids us goodbye, and gets going.

"Quick thinking, Jest. You better don't tell anyone aside the Mane 6 who you really are." I whisper to him, so nopony hears us.

As we go along, Jest notices the Quills and Sofas shop, and history repeats itself in another pony: "Why the hell is here a shop for sofas…And quills? Isn't that combination a little odd?" He asks around.

"Well duh, if Twilight isn't around, the owner has to make money somehow!" Pinkie pie yells, as she makes a sarcastic face.

"Hehe, ok if you say so." Jest replies while giggling a little, and we go on once again.

Shortly after, we arrive at Twilight's tree. Jest knocks on the door with his right hoof, as Twilight has already opened it.

"Hi guys, I already saw you as I looked outside at the beautiful weather and…Honey sap? Didn't you get carried away somehow, during the clash with this Jest guy? And who is the Pony next to you? He seems…Familiar."

I reply with confidence, but yet I'm full of thoughts and theories

"Ehm…Yeah. I actually was only gone for 1 day, but the spell in the elements somehow got me away longer than I thought. And this pony next to me is actually Jest."

I suddenly looked at Twilights horn, as it began to glow, and she began to frown.

"Pleasure to meet you twi-" He got interrupted by her charging a magical purple bolt at him. He flew around 20 inches away, but still seemed ok. Furthermore, Twilight jumped onto him and yelled:

"You crazy…Something! Any last words, before I pulverize you with a spell ten times stronger than the one I used before?"

Well…I should've expected such a reaction.

"Twilight, it's fine. He has come back to normal by the power of the Elements."

"Oh. My bad." She grins in a very sorry and sarcastic manner, blushes and moves away from him.

"Let's get inside, and I tell you what happened and why we're here in the first place." I reply, as I point towards her tree house.

Flaws

We all sit down on some chairs gathered around a round, wooden table in Twilights tree house. Currently, we all sit at it, as I and Jest are explaining what happened with him, my disappearance and why he is here.

Finally, I get to do what I wanted to in the first place: Ask her if she knows anything about this.

“So…Do you know anything about humans in Equestria or how Jest got manipulated here? Isn’t Discord imprisoned into Stone?” I question the whole round, but only Twilight doesn’t look totally confused.

“Not directly, I can only tell you what I believe. Since Discord is a magical being of great power, he maybe communicated with Jest in some way.

But that is just a theory.

About the superpowers you mentioned, I think I have a book here that involved something about dimension portals and what happens if somepony comes from somewhere else into Equestria.”

She steps away from the table, and goes into her library. Only a few seconds, she reappears with a book flying above her head. She puts it on the table, and we all get behind Twilight to get a better look at it.

It seems pretty old, and she opens it carefully so it doesn’t break.

“Okay let’s see what we got here.”

“It hopefully brings us some answers. After all we had ‘super powers’ for no reason why…” Jest says, as he looks at me and then to Twilight Sparkle.

She opens it up, showing us ancient letters, which I can’t decode.

“This is a book about different dimensions, that Celestia gifted me a while ago. I think I read something about humans in here, but I’m not sure anymore what it was.”

She only peeks at the sites to see their topics. Every site has a picture and a very detailed description, but even if I could read the letters, it would be too fast for my eyes.

“Alright, Humans in Equestria… Let’s see, humans usually live in a world called ´Earth´, which is a very huge planet in another dimension that revolves around. It is said, that their planet is rich of water and animals, but humans seem to be the only intelligent race on this planet.” Twilight tells, as she is reading at the same time.

“That doesn’t help, I can tell you general information about the earth myself. And yes it is true, there are actually no smart creatures but us humans, ponies are actually pretty huge and there are no pegasi or unicorns.” I tell her moderately

“Sorry, I’ll skip this.” She replies as she reads on.

“Here we go effects of dimension traveling on humans! Let’s see…Dimension traveling isn’t usual for humans, since they don’t know magic in the current century, even though there is still some left. In the medieval times, there were magicians which created some portals into different dimensions, testing their skills and experimenting around.

They ended up because the new king Arthur didn’t want to let magic fall into the false hands, so he banished any kind of it that ever existed. It seems like he missed out on some portals, which would explain how you came here.”

She speaks on:

“Since magic got banished, there were no more magicians in the next centuries, and it has been forgotten. As some people still used it, even though it was forbidden, Earth got cleansed from magic almost completely as one of the greatest magicians, Merlin, gathered all of his power to vanquish all magic from the planet.

Many people only know it as legend or stupid fairy tale, even though it is very true.

Yet there still are people who have secret powers left in them, which can’t be unrevealed as they are hidden deep inside of them and can only be unlocked by going to a magical place.

If a human would travel into another dimension, and has some magic inside of him, he would be available to unchain enormous amounts of power, unbelievable for neither human or pony kind.

Since every pony has a little magic inside, it would theoretically mean that if a pony visits the earth, it would become a human as well. A human however can become a human in Equestria, since he isn’t limited to any bonds here.

That is what stands here.” Twilight finishes reading, while looking at me.

Jest is staring at me angrily…I wonder why, but my thoughts get interrupted by other thoughts.

I am kind of flooded with thoughts at the moment…So a pony would become a human in my world, but even though a human becomes vise verse a pony, he can be a human in this world?

But how could I turn into this? I mean, this might come in handy from time to time, also who wouldn’t like to have super powers? Also…Why was Jest able to cast spells, and had a scythe as a weapon, while I had a sword?

  “Okay…All of this is very strange, yet very interesting. Is there nothing about…You know…How to transform while you’re inside of Equestria while you are a pony?” I glimpse at Twilight, but she seems disappointed.

“Sorry, that’s all about humans that I’ve got. But…Why do you want to turn into a human, anyway?”

“Super powers are pretty useful and would help with a lot of things like farm work or helping someone at doing something.” I reply while thinking about what I said.

To be honest, I just want to have those super powers because they’re cool. Next to being in Equestria, having super powers and fighting at lightning speed with special attacks and stuff is my biggest dream, even though it almost got me killed. But I don’t really care. It would be a nice thing to have but not a must. I live in Equestria, I should be thankful to Merlin.

“So...This is it? We now know that magician tales were true, and that’s it? Well nice waste of my time, I’m out of here.” Jest said as he stands up and opens the door.

Quickly I walk after him, shut the door again with my right hoof and tell him: “Could you please be grateful? Twilight just helped us and didn’t charge anything for it! So say thanks at least if you’re going to go!”

He turns around slowly, and glimpses at twilight only letting out a very quiet Thanks. Then he goes out while grunting a little and shuts the door very loudly.

“Geez, what in tarnation is wrong with him?” Applejack throws in the room.

“I…Have no idea…I’ll go see after him, and ask what this was about.” I say as I go outside and run after him.

He is already far away and I can only barely see his black skin in the distance. He is walking seemingly upset, and stomps his hooves very heavily.

The closer I get to him, the louder I hear his stomping. I catch up to him in front of the spa.

“Jest, wait for me! Jest!” I scream and continue: “Jest, seriously, what is wrong?”

And suddenly he disrupts me, looking very mad: “What is wrong? What is wrong?! You really have the nerve to ask me that?”

“Wow, calm down! What made you so upset?” I try to soothe him, but he still yells at me: “You have your wonderful life here, have Applejack as a pony that loves you, have friends all over the place, and you didn’t even look for me? You didn’t even try to do anything to help me?”

“I had amnesia, I didn’t even know you back then, neither did I know anything about me nor did I know anything about my old life or humans at all. All I remembered is that all this here isn’t real at all, but yet it is. I got to know it as a parallel universe! I had other problems, and seriously, you are jealous of me having Applejack as a special some pony?

ou were always the one that didn’t really care for love or having any company at all, you always told me ‘It’s ok to be alone sometimes, but it’s better to be accompanied! So why?!”

He just grunts as he looks away from me, talking on in the same upset voice: “Like I would tell you anything real about my love life…I never got to know real life, nor did I ever get close to anyone. I only knew one thing, and that was friendship.

But that you didn’t care for our friendship…I thought otherwise about you.”

“I’m sorry I guess…”

“You guess?! YOU GUESS?!”

He totally snaps now. His eyes turn blacker and blacker, as his limbs start to move randomly, making him fall down to the ground a few times. Suddenly, one of his hooves turns grey and finally forms fingers, as his feet do the same thing.

A black light covers him and surrounds him, and becomes bigger and bigger, until it even devoured me into it. I am in a big, black void of nothing.

I fade away…I seem to fly…I don’t feel any of my hooves…I feel like this for only a few seconds until it ends, yet it felt like minutes until it was over.

I wake up lying on the ground, just where I stood a few seconds ago.

I slowly open my eyes, seeing something big and in a black leather jacket infront of me.

Oh no…Not again…Discord got the upper hand above him!

“Stand up, mortal. I would like to have some fun if you’re a human anyway. And don’t even think about calling your little pony friends this time. Last time, this body barely survived the power you put into your attacks…”

He snips his right hands fingers and his scythe appears in it.

I slowly stand up as I look onto him: He still has long hair, even though it turned white. His eyes are completely black, and show no slice of a soul at all. His body is humanoid and about one head taller than mine is. He wears a black jacket, and black trousers.

“So…You really want to do it this way again? But let me ask you one thing, discord…Why can you manipulate people to make them fight for you?”

He grins, and laughs crazily, for almost a whole minute long. He doesn’t stop and makes weird noises while he is at it.

“Oh…Oh my. You still haven’t figured it out, have you? I can’t just manipulate people…I need to convince them to be mad, to show their chaotic side…And if they get weak, I get them far enough to fuse with them, to control them completely.

Your friend didn’t have anyone to help him as he got into this world. He knew everything…He remembered everything…Your “big friendship” and that stuff, but I convinced him to give up on you.

And now, he is mine to use and I stand here to fight you, the only human able to do anything about it…Sadly, when I turn into this shape, I can’t control the crazy amounts of magic, so I have to let it flow outside…Which means you turn into a human as well.

It is fine for me, since I know exactly what to do with this power, and I will have some fun after all.

Now…What are you going to do? Kill your best friend, or let me take over this world as you know it? Mwahaha, It’s not like it would make any difference but I’d love to see you struggle desperately against all of this! Oh, what a wonderful day will await me!

Arturo Durazo, let us initiate the beginning of the end! Mwahahaha!”

Fierce Fight

Chapter 9 – Fierce Fight

Jest charges towards me, as he flies only a few feet above the ground, holding his scythe at the side of his body with only one hand.

He is fast, very fast. He was standing far away from me just a second ago and now he is almost in front of me. I get into a better position, standing with both feet parallel, facing him as he floats up to me.

I hold my sword pointed on to him, as he comes closer and closer.

Finally, he is in range to him me, landing on the ground and sliding towards me, as he swings his scythe upwards from the ground, cutting through the dust of the ground.

I hit my sword downwards to counter, hitting his hilt as we struggle against each other.

The look on his face was full of anger, craze and the craving to kill.

"Oho, you can block my attacks when I charge from a large distance, kid, but what about this?"

He puts his right hand away from the scythe. As I see this, I try to push harder and break his defence, but he is too fast and punches me with his fist, a point blank hit.

The hit sends me flying a large distance. All that I can see is him disappearing and reappearing above me, crouching while in mid-air.

"Take that!" Jest yells while reaching out with both of his legs, hitting my stomach and my whole body into the ground, leaving a huge hole behind.

The attack whirled up a lot of dust, and I can't see a lot.

"Come on, is that all you've got? Stand up! Do something! FIGHT ME!"

As he screams that, he is wide open and not standing on me anymore.

I jump up, rush towards him and sting him into his shoulder, creating a huge mess of blood all over his arm.

"Alright, if you want this so badly, I will give it to you!" I yell, as I sting my blade even deeper inside of his shoulder. It doesn't seem to hurt him a lot, since his expression is the same as before.

He reaches back and smacks me in the face with his free hand, sending me flying far again, as he holds the scythe with the stung arm.

"Is this all you've got, a surprise attack that doesn't even hit any of my vital organs?"

To be honest, I only try to hurt him until he surrenders. I can't kill him, he is still my friend. Even though Discord took over his mind, he is the same person. I can't just kill him like that!

But as I think about that, he raises his scythe onto the air, creating a thunderstorm.

I stand up, as I see him casting.

"Arturo Durazo, Scythe of Storms, smite my opponent with your power!

Take this!"

A huge lightning runs on to me, which I am lucky to dodge very closely.

If it wasn't for my quick reaction, I would be dead right now.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Every time he speaks up, another lightning strike crashes onto the ground, trying to run through my body.

I am quick enough to dodge every single one, moving from the right to the left at amazing speed, leaving every spark behind.

I am almost at him, as he stops the storm and instead reaches back his scythe to the right, preparing a horizontal attack.

I am about to be in his range, as he whispers something that I can't seem to understand, which leads to the blade of his scythe being engulfed by lightning.

"Try to parry this!"

Chris screams out, as he runs towards me and attempts to attack me, but I can closely slide underneath his scythe, seeing every single spark of his scythe pass by.

I spin around, just after I dodge the attack and sting him right into the other Shoulder. Again, blood flows right out of it and on my blade, down his arm and even down his back.

"Hmpf. You still don't attack me with all you've got."

He says, as he reaches out his right arm and grabs the blade of my sword, pulling it out. Afterwards he turns around, swinging his scythe furiously and very fast, almost cutting directly through my left arm.

The attack leaves a deep wound in my arm, of which flows blood endlessly.

His attacks become faster and faster the longer we fight and the more I actually hurt and disable his limbs, the harder he strikes.

It makes no sense!

"Okay kid, it was really fun until now. But I gotta say, I am slightly annoyed by you not fighting to a full extent. What holds you back, me being your 'best friend'? Oh come on, I will destroy everything if you don't kill me!

You know how much everything is, don't you?

Come on! Stand up against me and fight!"

He kicks me away from him, his assault is so fast I can't even see his foot moving. Yet again, I fly away from him, as he uses me as some kind of toy to play around with.

What he said…

I can't. I simply can't fight him properly, nor kill him.

Could I really grant a person rest that I know so much just for peace? Do I have the right to choose who dies and who not? No!

But I have to…For the better in Equestria.

I have to kill him once and for all, as he shall never come back.

So that this world has it's peace.

"If you wish to be destroyed, I shall grant you that wish."

I charge on to him, with amazing speed, holding my sword above me. As soon as I am in range to attack, he tries to punch me with his hilt. I dodge his punch by ducking, and cut from the bottom left to the upper right part of his chest, leaving a very deep wound, leading to another strike right through his shoulder wound and right arm.

Blood drops everywhere, as he grunts while I kick his wounded body away.

He lands on the ground, withering in his own blood as I walk slowly towards him.

"You wanted me to fight you, yet you are so overconfident, just like last time. You really shouldn't leave me chances, as I will recklessly use those." I speak to him in a monotone voice.

"Honey sapple! I know that this guy is your friend, but you have to finish this once and for all! Discord won't stop using his body for his crazy plans, please…Kill him!"

Yells Twilight Sparkle in the background as I stand in front of the blooding body of Chris.

Suddenly, the storm opened up a giant hole in a house, which seemed to look like a portal, sucking in smaller things like leaves. It is a huge, black and cyan hole that seems to have no ending what so ever.

Whatever it is, I ignore it at the moment. I got more important problems.

"I really don't want to do this but I need to."

"Hmpf. You really think you win?"

He starts to talk normally, to my surprise as he has four very deep cuts and stings in his body.

"You won't. And you know why?"

He speaks on, as his body disappears in a small blue energy wave, reappearing behind Applejack

"Because I ALWAYS win… No matter how I do that, only results count!"

The ponies gasp as he appears in the middle of them, and he lays the blade of his scythe around Applejacks throat.

"You don't want me to slip and cut through the neck of this pony? Oh how was that again? You love her, don't you?"

"Back off, Discord! Leave her out of this!"

"Oh I will leave her out, if you go through this portal and never come back!"

He tells me, with a confident and evil grin.

"Are you kidding?"

"Do I look like I am joking?" He replies, as he moves the blade closer to Applejacks throat.

"Honey, do something!" She screams, as I can't move.

What should I do? If I attack, he is most likely to kill her…If I leave this place, he will take over this place and spread chaos all around. I have to do something!

"Okay. You've won, I will leave."

I say to him while closing my eyes, lowering my head.

"What?!" a synchronized scream of the whole Mane 6 is let out.

"I can't let you kill Applejack. I would rather kill myself for letting you do that."

I step closer to the portal, as he does the same, pulling AJ with him.

"One funny move and your little pony friend here is a headless horse. I have to turn us back to ponies, the portal doesn't work for humans. They would just destroy the portal, eventually even closing the portal!" He explains to me and the rest of the Ponies.

I nod, as he unleashes the dark aura to turn us back.

A blue light despawned the scythe, letting it disappear almost so fast that I could not be able to grasp it, as he casts the spell to transform us. He is unarmed, and I still got my sword, this is my chance!

"Sorry pal, but you should order things up a little smarter! I have a sword, you're unarmed!

I really don't want to do this, but it seems I have to!"

I yell as I cut directly through his whole chest, cutting him almost completely in half.

All he replies is a very loud scream in pain, as he falls over into the portal.

I look away, not seeing what's happening. I just lost a good friend of mine.

Actually, he doesn't want to lose me it seems. In his last bit of power, he drags me with him, so I fall into the giant, blue hole with him.

While falling, I see Applejack standing at the edge of the portal, screaming: "Honey sapple, no! Come back!"

My wounds get wider and wider as I fall…My body feels worse and worse.

Chris suddenly despawns, just as his scythe does, and turns into thousands of small blue particles, which seem to fly even faster through the portal as I.

The falling becomes worse and worse, as I finally pass out.

What happens next? I don't know. I don't even know if I want to know.

Appleleaves

Chapter 10 Appleleaves

I awake...All I smell is disgusting big city smell and…Blood, all I feel is that I am getting carried. My wounds…They still hurt.

I finally open my eyes, seeing Chris is carrying me, walking on a road near a river…We are back.

“You woke up, finally. Don’t worry pal, I will…Ugh…Bring you to the hospital…You will be fine. We both will.

I turn my head a bit, seeing the huge blood trail he is leaving behind. He moves slowly onwards, going lamer than usual. The wounds are still open, yet he carries me. My legs are hurt, my head feels…Sleepy.

“The portal…It is gone…Your legs…Maimed.

You can’t walk like that” He says, as he tries to walk steadily and straight forward, which is hindered by his wounds.

“You’re one to talk, you have a huge cut in your chest.” I reply, with a sarcastic voice.

“You know I won’t leave you hanging. You still owe me that pizza, you know?” He tells me.

Slow but safe he moves onward to the hospital. It takes him a long trip, even though its not even a mile long.

Short before we arrive I ask him: “Chris…You told me the portal is closed?”

He looks down to the ground, avoiding my sight, even though I am piggy back and being carried by him: “Yes. It closed itself because we fell as humans into it.”

“So…Discord’s spirit is…” I want to finish my sentence, but get interrupted by him

“Banished in our human world, where his power isn’t able to unleash, yes.”

We don’t talk another word on the last few steps away from our destination.

We walk on to the huge grey cubic hospital, as the door opens itself. The air smells strange…A mixture of blood and medicine is in the air, the room is enlightened by a few windows, yet only one plant is in the room…

It all looks very practical, rather than ethical.

Chris goes onto the counter, and says that we need help, obviously.

The woman then calls another woman which brings us two small vehicles on which we lay down. He gets brought to the left wing and I to the right one.

All I see is that they carry him away very fast, as they push the wagon very quickly.

I get bandaged, and my legs get some iodine on my legs and my other wounds.

Everything goes fast and I don’t get anything…My…Blood loss seems too high for me to grasp all the things happening around. I fall asleep.

I see a barn. I see…Sweet Apple Acres…The apple tree fields, the hill where me and Applejack had our picnics together.

It is fall. All the trees are in different colours; red, orange, yellow, brown…Some are still green. Most of them are falling down, or already have fallen down.

In front of the buildings…There is some pony.

I see Applebloom, Granny Smith, Big Macintosh…I see Applejack.

All of them seem to be smiling at me. All of them seem…Happy. Happy to know that I am there.

Happy to know that I am home…

That this won’t change. But it does. They fade away, one after another…Like leaves from trees, they fall down and rot…One after another fades away.

And suddenly there is another creature, a black Colt…He fades away too.

They fade to grey…To something else.

To a grey surrounding…I wake up.

The world around me looks not as colourful, rather more black and white. All the colours are gone. Everything is just regular, boring, dull…

“Are you alright? You don’t look like it.” A guy in a tunic asks me…A doctor.

“Yes. It’s nothing. I am fine. Can I call home, please?” I ask, as I look onto the doctors eyes.

“Sure, I will bring you a phone.”

As soon as I am home, I will invite Chris and give him this Pizza.

I owe it to him, and I keep my promises.

END.

Epilogue AKA Chapter 0

Chapter 0 – Time

The only thing…I can think about…Is revisiting her.

The only thing…That actually helps me stay sane…Is this Idea. This plan.

Everything

depends on this.

I searched one and a half month for this, and finally got everything together; an old scroll I found in the hole where the portal used to be, told me what I need to create a dimension portal.

First off, you can only reactivate portals with this, so I took the only one I know: The hole which I and Chris fell into.

A circle painted with blue powder, found in the ashes of a volcano, eight torches in the shape of an octagon, lit with a burning rod made out of wood. The torches must have a special kind of coal in them, only found in the depths of lakes.

All I got to do now is say the magic formula.

“Space itself is just a force, using it against divorce, travel me to a different land, Equestria is what I demand!”

I finish my speech, as the torches suddenly switch into blue flames. They jump over to the center, and create a huge flame, which leads to an explosion.

I fall down, not seeing what’s going on through the cyan smoke.

As all settles, there is an amazing sight. The same hole that was in the ground is back! The lightly blue sparkling hole is as astounding as ever, yet seems just like a normal hole in the ground.

“Sorry boy, but your friend didn’t make it. He died off the heavy bleedings. We can’t do anymore for him.”

“W-What? He is…Dead?”

“I am sorry.”

All of this was my own fault…I could have stopped him, I know it. I could have found a way to stop him without…Doing…This to him!

And now…Now…I killed not only someone, but my best and only very good friend…

I walk home.

It’s getting late already. I told my parents I was just sleeping at a friends place for some time and excused myself.

On my way I don’t really think about anything. My legs got a little better so I can walk normally.

I get home. My parents greet me, not really saying anything, but “How was it”. I tell them it was fine and go upstairs into my room.

I…Killed him. With my hands, my sword…My mind.

No.

No, this was right. I did it for the better of two worlds, for…Equestria.

But come to think of it…Is Discord free now that Chris is dead? Or…Did he die together with his body?

…I have to check. I got to go back to Equestria.

I jump into the hole, not knowing what exactly will await me, if this works or not, if I go to Equestria or even another planet…

A horrible headache later, I arrive at a familiar place.

I wake up on the hill where me and Applejack had our picnics on. No time to lose. Yet again in my pony form I have to remember how the walking is different.

It is raining. While I want to get up I almost slip and fall over. Then I get it right and stand up to get going.

It’s not far to Ponyville, but I have another destination.

I am already at Sweet Apple Acres but I keep moving through the city instead of going in. I walk on, as I see the empty streets of Ponyville, without any big change.

I go on, realizing I am in front of Twilight Sparkles tree, yet I still don’t stop and go on.

A few minutes later I arrive at the bone yard where I see some pony next to a grave crying.

It’s mature and female; she wears a coat so her mane doesn’t get wet. I walk next to her, realizing what happens.

I hug her, as she cries on.

The pony I am next to has a red mane, eyes filled with liquid sadness and a yellow-ish face: Applebloom.

I read the text on the grave, and am shocked: HERE LIES APPLEJACK.

I am speechless. To be honest, I thought Granny Smith died because - Wait…

I was away one and a half month which equals around 40 days…Which means…

"Why did you never come back? She waited for you. Every day she skipped everything just to go around, searching for a trail of you, even though you would be too late. Why?"

I stand up she speaks with a water covered face. The rain begins to fall even harder than before. I...Can't grasp what happens at this moment, turn around and...

I run. And run. And run even more.

I don’t know when I stop. My mind is numb. I am running through the whole town, past all the ponies’ houses.

I run up to the hill, looking over the city. I lose my senses there. I remember our first picnic, our first kiss, and especially, how she hugged me, how we fell in love overall.

And I fall for a second time. I fall but this time, I won’t come back.

I fall. And I remember…Remember a short time of pure happiness in my life, a time when I had what I always desired.

When I had, what I always dreamt of.

Water fills my eyes, as I close them.

I had all this even together with a friend. A very good friend who understood me.

Who died by my sword…

I open my eyes, releasing a last teardrop...Falling with the rain.

I can see the ground.

I can see my end.

I can see… The end.
