A Wish Upon the Moon
Would you fall 300 feet from the sky to get to Equestria?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI could still feel the cold air brushing against my skin, only the force felt stronger. Even stronger than the voice's wind. Which led me to think: Who was that voice? It didn't sound familiar to me. I had never heard of it before. Which led to another topic: It said, "We grant your wish.". What exactly did that mean? My wish. What wish? I thought.
As I kept on pointlessly skipping around from one subject to another, I realized something: Where was I? I had now found out that I had my eyes closed and that I was sleeping. I also felt a bit peculiar. Was it that voice that had done this? But as I was lead, again, from one thought to another, I just decided to open my eyes and see what the heck was going on.
I saw clouds falling... up? This was odd. Since when do clouds fall up? I knew for a fact that being in one of Shel Silverstein's poetry books was not a wish of mine. Whatever that voice did to me, I was not liking it so far.
I stretched my eyes out to get a bit more of a clearer view of what was happening. After a few moments of brief observation (Looking down at my brown-orange hooves, looking past my hooves to the ground ect..), I found out that I was a colt, and apparently hurdling toward the ground. I was not scared at all before fully processing the outcome of the situation. In which was: I am going to die by falling 300 feet to the ground as a pony.
So, as any other average person/pony would do, I began to flail my limbs and panic. Surprisingly, I had run this scenario over my head thousands of times, so I decided that the proper thing to do was scream: "HOLY FLIPPING CELESTIA!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! I'M FALLING TO MY DEMISE!!! I'M GOING TO DIE!!!! YOLO YOLO YOLO YOLO YOLO!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! CAPS LOCK!!!!!!", and other nonsensical nonsense.
Evidently, I was 100 feet from the ground, so the only response I got at this time was a, "Huh?", and a shrug. I had no idea how screaming and flailing in panic was supposed to help, but it kept me at a content level of sanity, and by that I mean most of my sanity was gone already.
Even throughout all this craziness, for some reason I was wondering when I was going to hit terminal velocity, but that would be a bad thing. I would most definitely not survive. Then again, I didn't have much of a chance of living falling from 300 feet flailing crazily. So either way, I was going to die.
Now I was about 60 feet from the ground, and I think some ponies below were starting to hear me. I actually was not sure if they were ponies, I was too busy panicking over my death to observe anything but the ground my body was going to be splattered on, and clouds.
Now here are my thoughts on this event: ......We are sorry, but this person you are trying to call is presently not available right now. Please leave a message after the beep. *BEEP*
I could surprisingly still notice the feeling of the wind on my flailing body as I screamed towards the ground. I couldn't think strait, so I didn't have my life flash before my eyes, all that flashed were clouds as they passed by.
10 feet.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
6 feet.
"HELP!!!!"
3 feet.
"CHEERIOS WOULD HAVE PLAYED BETTER IN THE BOWL THAN THE BRONCOS!!!!"
3 feet.
"I EAT CARPET WHEN NO ONE LOOKS!!!"
3 feet.
"I DON'T KNOW WHO M&M IS!!!!"
3 feet.
"WHY HAVEN'T I DIED YET!!! ......Oh."
I had stopped in mid-air. I was floating three feet above the ground. My mind was completely blank. Nothing formed in my mind until I
realized who was holding me with magic: None other than Twilight Sparkle herself in her beautiful glory.
I was staring strait into her eyes, and she was staring strait into mine. "Are you ok?" She asked politely, obviously because she didn't want to put me in any more shock than I already was.
My brain's gears began to turn. I could think again. I realized all that had happened, all that went on in this weird... whatever it is so far. In which was: Standing in a field, hear a voice, falling to the ground as a colt, caught by Twilight Sparkle, my fourth favorite of the Mane Six.
I took a deep breath and looked at my surroundings. It was Ponyville. I was in Ponyville. The Ponyville. The one and only honest to Celestia Ponyville. The voice had indeed granted my most desired wish. Now I started to shut down again.
"Are you ok?" Twilight asked.
I somewhat snapped out of my trance and looked at the magic mare, "I-I'm fine. C-could you please p-p-put me d-down?"
Twilight smiled and lowered me to the ground gently. "Give me a second of silence I need to gather my thoughts" I said.
As I thought a little more deep into what had happened, I took some time to notice my body. I was most definitely, a colt. Since that was all that I could think of, I just made a mental note to look in a mirror later.
I started to punch my head with my hoof and say what happened aloud, each event I listed I punched my head. I didn't know why I did, I just did. "Grassy plain, voice, fall, colt, catch, Twilight." I stopped and shuttered. "Brain dead."
Then, due to my brain shutting down, I fainted in the middle of public where everypony that I didn't notice could see.
Emptiness floated in my brain like an empty attic. All that was there was inanimate gears and spider webs, but for some reason no spiders. My mind lied absent for a long time before somehow seeing a bit of light that gave my brain energy. It was the voice.
We have brought you here with- Oops, sorry. I have brought you here with my powers to break the laws of physics. It began. I have found you wanted to be here. Yes?
I was even a disembodied voice in my brain. Perhaps my conscience. "Yes I guess so. Who are you?" I replied. I couldn't, and didn't want to figure out why I felt so energized right in this particular moment, but I was.
I am... Me.
"So I should call you Me?"
Umm... sure. Ok. Just listen.
"Ok, I will."
It's time to wake up.
"So is that all you-"
I was interrupted by the voice of Twilight Sparkle, whom's words I couldn't make out. I decided to open my eyes and see what was going on. I heard another one too. It was Spike's.
By now, me processing all of this information felt almost impossible. I even refused to look over the whole entire scenario again. All that mattered now was that I was here. Not how I got here, or where I was before here. All that matters is that I conveniently fell 300 feet from the sky down to Ponyville, and it will be awesome.
I used my front legs to push myself up so I could see the situation better. (Thought: Why do people call this species's front legs arms if they use them as legs? All Fim Fictions that I have read each say arms. I wonder if I'm in a Fim Fiction right now? Naa.) I was in Twilight's bed, in Twilight's library, right next to Twilight Sparkle and Spike themselves.
Surprisingly easily processing the situation I began some dialogue. "What's going on?" As I already knew; I knew exactly what was going on. So I just asked a rhetorical question for no apparent reason.
Twilight and Spike turned their attention to me, and Twilight walked towards me. I took in a deep breath to avoid freaking out. As I had run through my head at least one-thousand times, I need to act like a normal pony, or else things might happen that I didn't want to. For instance: Know the future, Princesses, captivated circus freak, studied on, ect.. Stuff like that. So I just decided to lay low and make everypony think that I was one of them.
"Are you ok?"
I took a deep breath again and smiled. "Yes, I'm fine."
Spike stepped up. "Are you sure? You sort of just fell 300 feet from the ground while pointlessly screaming for your life."
Twilight gave Spike a glare in which made him step back one step, and then turned back to me. "Sorry about him. Um... Can I get you anything?"
"I-I'll have glass of water."
"Ok." Twilight said. "C'mon Spike."
They both walked off into another room. This gave me some time to think. I didn't want to think. The more I thought about how I got here the more I lost my sanity. I'd rather not faint again as well.
I sat up on the bed, resting my body up on a pillow to prepare to drink some water. Twilight walked inside with a glass of water floating in the air with her magic. She walked next to the bed and sat down.
"Can you drink it by yourself, or do you need me to feed it to you?" She asked.
"I-I got it."
Twilight floated the glass in between my hooves. That was when I realized something. Hooves, not hands. This was going to be my greatest challenge yet: Drinking a glass of water with hooves.
"Eye of the Tiger" began to play in my mind as I started to struggle with the glass slipping in and out of my hooves. I tried every way possible to hold the cup, but it just kept on slipping and slipping. I tried holding it on the bottom, balancing it on my nose, and even hugging it.
"You need help with that?" Twilight asked. I was too occupied in my battle to answer.
This was indeed a hard fight, but I wasn't about to give up. Even if Twilight was going to be awkwardly staring at me the whole time.
But, as all the good guys do, I defeated my enemy and found a way to drink the water. I just juggled it until the open side entered my mouth, and I chugged it down with a little difficulty. Though I was, indeed, victorious.
I spit the empty glass of water onto the bed and looked at Twilight with a smile. "See Twilight, I got it."
"Y-yeah. Sure." Twilight said with a dumbfounded look. "Wait, how do you know my name?"
I didn't realize that I had literally said her name. I instantly looked for excuses in my brain. I did find one. "Iiiiiiii-I heard your name while I was asleep." I said with a sheepish smile.
Twilight put a hoof to her chin. "Ok. Well, apart from that. Do you mind if I ask you about the fall?"
I tried my best not to flashback to that moment. "N-no." Dang it. I thought.
"How did you get up there?"
"I-I. Umm..." I searched for more excuses. I didn't just want to tell her that I teleported up there. But perhaps that wouldn't be a bad excuse. "I got teleported up there."
"By who?" Twilight's face turned from curious to concerned.
"I don't know. It just happened."
"How do you just happen to be teleported up in the air?"
"I have no idea." I gave a suspicious giggle.
Twilight eyed me closely. "Riiiight." Twilight backed off and gave her usual expression. "Well I have to do a few errands. Are you ok staying here while I'm gone?"
I smiled. "Yup. I'm fine. What are you going to do?"
Twilight began to walk slowly toward the doorway. "I have to check on preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration."
My fantasies instantly formed in my head, putting all sorts of other scenarios that may occur because of my existence here. Sometimes, when I was human, I would dream that I was some special person called a "Dimensional Being", and my job was to create alternate realities, or breaks in the time line for a bunch of dimensions.
"Are you sure you'll be ok here alone?" Twilight continued. "Do you want me to leave Spike here with you?"
An alternate reality spawned in my mind: Twilight goes to Fluttershy, Flutters is shy, Spike doesn't catch her interest, they aren't friends, the Elements of Harmony can't be used, Nightmare Moon puts Equestria in eternal night, and bad stuff happens!
My face switched to one of joy to one of horror instantly after this thought. I waved my hooves in the air saying, "NO NO NO!!! TAKE SPIKE WITH YOU!!!"
Twilight looked back at me and raised an eyebrow. "Alright, no need to yell. Bye, um... What's your name?"
I already formed a solution. "Quartz, my name is Quartz."
"Bye Quartz."
"Bye Twilight."
I heard a few hoofsteps and a closing door. The rest of the next minute was silence.
I rested my head on a pillow, looking in the opposite direction, and began to fall asleep. I let myself slowly fall into the depths of dream land. By that, I mean Luna beating up Trollestia.
Meanwhile, a pink figure gazed upon the Treebrary, waiting for the right time to strike. Now it was here, the lavender mare she had seen earlier was leaving her home.
"Time for the pink night, to strike again."
Dun dun duuuuunnnnn...
