End Note

I woke up for the second time, this time I was finally ready for the day. I got off the bed and walked on four legs for the second time out of the guest room. I went on through the second floor hall of the Residence on the way to the staircase. When I made it down, it seemed that I was now in the front room, because the outside was a few yards from me. As I approached the exit, I noticed a few picture frames on the wall. One of them had caught my attention.

Rarity was in one of them, she wore a very large dress with a diamond ring around her hoof. Next to her was a green pony with a black mane wearing a tuxedo. They were at a chapel, thus it was not hard for me to figure it out, this event must have been a wedding. That green pony next to Rarity must be her husband…what was his name again? There were also two ponies to the left of them, one of them was female with a pink coat, blue eyes, with a purple mane and tail. The other supported a white coat, blue eyes, with a brown mane, tail, and mustache. Were these the parents of Rarity? If so, where were the parents of the husband?

Each one of these frames had the same green pony in them. The biggest frame with him in it was a group picture, it stuck out. In it was the green pony, with six others. One had a sky blue coat with a mane and tail of black, red, and orange, he also had wings; one had a black mane with a yellow coat and hazel eyes; one had a dark blue coat with a blonde mane and tail, he too had wings; one had a white coat, orange mane and tail, and a horn sticking out of his head; one had a tan coat, with a black mane and tail; and lastly, one had a brown coat with a blonde mane and tail.

I looked at my side, there was a mirror, a very larger mirror. I looked and it seemed that I really have taken a new appearance. Clearer than the vision I viewed at the lake, I still had my white hair and bangs, red and blue eyes, and bandages. What was new about me was that I was a pony, a pony with a light grey coat, and there was a symbol near my umm…lower area. It looked like a circle with three lines joining in the center, I have never seen anything like it, what did it mean?

In fact each one of the ponies in the picture had symbols nearing their ends. The green pony had a V on him, did it stand for anything? There was also a Basketball, Raven, Silver Star, Brownie, and some sort of rectangular shape bearing red and white stripes. I could not see the symbol of one of the ponies because this peculiar one wore armor, this armor looked a lot like the one of which the military soldiers wore when I would be chased.

So who were these peo- err,  Ponies?

…

..

.

Wait, why do I care? I was probably paranoid again, did I think they would become enemies of mine or something?

With that I walked out the door, after opening it of course, not hard even as a pony. It was very bright out; in fact I could not see anything because it was like ten hours since I had been any under real sunlight.

There I was, outside in Pony Ville, as Rarity named it, I saw several of the residents walking around doing their business. Some were actually staring at me, I think it was the bandages that got their attention, I remember when they first got mine.

Now it became clear to me again, I needed answers. Why was I a pony, why did I have this symbol, what is this symbol? Could I even go back to my dimension again? I clearly did not want to live here, because I don’t belong here. It is not meant for anyone to cross dimensions, it is forbidden. It was not a surprise that those humans, those demons, would have created a machine into doing so.

Well, with all of those thoughts been reviewed, I decided to go back into sightseeing my current location.

I got to see a close up of the chapel I saw yesterday, it was actually a lot bigger than it seemed, not just a chapel, it was a building. The majority of the houses around me had been constructed out of wood with roofs that looked constructed out of hay. The most unusual building was this one residence carved out of this giant tree; I would never have seen architecture like this in the old dimension. It was not as if I had gone into a different dimension, but traveled in time…is that even possible?

“VK!”

“Hm?”

“VK! Over here!”

It was Rarity, she was with two of her friends, they had finished eating at what appeared to be some sort of pony-villish (not a real word, I know) restaurant. I walked toward them

“Rarity, good morning!”

“VK, good morning, how was your nap?”

“I was very good, I needed it, especially with what I have been going through”

“Well I am sure that it’s all over now, VK, I would like you two meet two of my good friends. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy”

“HI VK! I’m Pinkie Pie, but you already know that, Rarity said so. I mean it is rather nice for her to introduce me to you for me, but then again, why am I stating what has already been stated? Isn’t it weird when you state something twice?”

Pinkie Pie had blue eyes, bearing a pink coat with a very curly darker pink mane and tail, her birthmark (Maybe that is what it is) were three balloons.

“Hello, it is very nice to meet you”

I shook hands, well, hooves with her.

I went to approach the other mare.

“Hello there”

The other mare just screamed.

“I’m sorry, are you okay?”

“No, I’m fine; you only startled me for a second.”

“My appearance is different from the others I know, but you don’t have to be afraid.”

“Then you must be…”

“Fluttershy”

I could not hear her

“I beg your pardon?”

“Fluttershy”

She spoke louder

“Well it’s very nice to meet you.”

I shook hooves with her as well.

“So VK”

Pinkie Spoke

“Hm?”

“When I heard that there was a new pony in town, I would normally begin setting up a party for that newcomer right away, but then I thought it would be awkward to just set a party up without even meeting the mare or stallion, but now look, were here, meeting! With that done, I have to get going to set up the party!”

“P-party?”

“Party!”

“But why?”

“You may have to excuse Pinkie Pie for a moment dear, she always is willing to give parties for any occasion.”

“Oh, I see, but you really don’t have to”

“No can do, to me there has never been such a thing as no party to no new person, it is something I must do, or else that no one is happy! And that is what everyone should be, happy!”

“Well, I don’t think I can stop you then, if you insist, go right at it”

“Yay!”

The Pink Mare bounced away to begin setting up a festivity that I did not deserve. Why me? I knew what a party was, I remember in the facility. I was taught a week about being social, one of the facts I remembered was that children, teenagers, and adults would sometimes set up these kind of special events, usually for holidays and celebrations for human beings. But I was not a human being, I was a murderer, a murderer who only did what was done because it was the law. Back there, there was only justice, they thought that just killing the people was the only way, I was against that. When I refused that one time…no, I don’t want to remember. But this, what was this, one individual was willing to throw a celebration for me, only because I existed. This dimension was truly different, but if imagine if they knew what my actions were in the past. No, why am I even thinking about that!? There was something I wanted to say that I haven’t said in weeks.

“Pinkie Pie!”

“Hm?”

Ugh, what was it again? Come on Verandernden, think!

“Umm…Thank You?”

“You’re welcome! Have a great day VK!”

“Uhh, you too”

She continued bouncing away until she became invisible from the naked eye.

“Yes, what a nice mare, always throwing parties; she has been doing so as long as I could remember”

“Rarity, I have to go feed Angel, ill see you later”

“Have a good day darling”

She flew by me

“Bye VK”

“See you Fluttershy.”

I saw the Pegasus fly away going toward her destination. I then noticed something peculiar, it seemed that she smiled back at me. Odd, I did not even think that she heard me.

“Yup, good friends of mine, been there as long as I could remember, VK, tell me more about yourself. Where are you from?”

Oh shoot, I did not even think about that, I couldn’t tell her where I was actually from. Wait, what am I going to do? Well, I could always make something up, but what? Let me think, what was the name of the city I was in? Zeljeznicki, Zeljeznicki City, that was it, but were there even cities in this dimension? They never mentioned any cities, hmm, I got it!

“Zeljeznikio”

“Zeljeznikio? Where is that?”

“Yes, no pony has ever heard of it, it was terrible, the mayor of that town I lived in over there never did anything to help. There was a lot of violence, murders, to be honest, I am a runaway. In fact, I was exploring this entire time in order to find a new civilization, does that make sense?”

“Yes I understand, though never in my life have I heard of this land”

“Yes, it’s very far, you wouldn’t even want to go there.”

“Well why would I? I’m already so happy here with my friends and husband, there wouldn’t be a reason for me to go out of Equestria!”

“How long have you known your friends? Also, tell me more about this Equestria.”

“Oh dear, where do I even begin?”

I finally had obtained an idea of where I was now. For the past thirty minutes Rarity was talking about well, everything, first she started off talking about how she got her cutie mark.

“What is that?”

“You don’t know what a cutie mark is? It’s the symbol on your flank”

“Oh this! In Zeljeznikio, we used to call these Pony Symbols.”

She did not suspect a thing.

She said that she got her cutie mark when she discovered that being a fashion designer was what she was best at. She said that she could not have done it without Rainbow Dash, who’s ability of the sonic rain boom had given her the materials needed to make costumes for a school play. This led to the time when she and her friends first met in pony Ville. Eventually they learned that they each held the elements of harmony, which they had used to destroy and evil entity named Nightmare Moon, who planned in eternal darkness.

“What do you mean by “Eternal Darkness”?”

“Well, specifically, she wanted it to be night time forever.”

“Hmm…”

She then started talking about the further adventures they had together. Such as the Winter Wrap Up, the Iron Pony Competition, the Best Young Flyers competition, and of course, the Grand Galloping Gala. I said of course because I never would have guessed that a quiet pony such as Fluttershy would have outraged like that. I would have felt sorry for her if I was there; I knew what it was like to be rejected.

Pretty soon she brought up the topic of how she and her friends saved Equestria for the second time. Apparently she and the others had to use the elements of harmony this time to stop an evil Draconequus known as Discord. She and her friends were manipulated into acting the opposite of the way they were. She did not even want to mention how he made her act. Eventually she and her friends had defeated Discord by using the elements once again. Finally, she began talking about the adventures after that, such as Nightmare Night, Hearth’s Warming Eve, the time when every Pegasi formed a giant tornado, and then…

“And then I met my husband for the first time-“

“Hey you two.”

We both were interrupted by one of the waiters of the restaurant.

“Are you two done here

“Oh I am terribly sorry, yes I have paid the bill and everything.”

“Well I am sorry, but you two must leave, this is not an area for chatting, other guests may arrive soon”

“No it’s alright”

I said

“Really, we did not mean to cause any controversy.”

Then we both walked out of the restaurant, we started to talk again.

“It actually took a long while for the waiter to notice how long we were talking.”

“I know, they probably get a lot of customers there, they may need more employees”

“Quite, anyhow VK, I have to get back to my Boutique. There is still a lot of work to be done.”

“I can’t argue with that.”

“I was just taking a break eating while talking with my friends, and you of course”

“Well I think I will keep looking around town, I wish you the best of luck on your work.”

“Thank you.”

With that, she moved off toward a large building, it had to have at least three or five floors. It consisted of purple and yellow colors with several windows placed on it. With a building of that proportion, she must have had a lot of work to do in there. With all of the years she has been working in there, it must be packed with all of her previous work she needs the extra space that the building has to offer. Hopefully it’s not packed.

I went to walk off, thinking to myself once again. I could not believe all the adventures that Rarity and her friends have gone through. By the look Rarity had on her face before we were escorted, it looked as if she wasn’t halfway finished with the adventures she had.

So far I knew that Equestria was a land founded by Earth ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasus, it was a marked land. This land is ruled by two princesses known as Celestia and Luna; they were here before anyone else. I would be considered to be what is called an “Earth Pony”, a pony without a horn or wings. If I recall, Rarity had a horn, and Fluttershy had wings. At least now I know the main idea of this place, and the events afterward. But I still had questions running around in my mind. How did I get turned into a pony, and what does my cutie mark mean? Is it even possible to turn back to normal, go back to my dimension? This entire time I was looking at the clouds.

“Hello there, is something wrong?”

“I’m sorry, I had something on my mind.”

“Oh well I didn’t mean to interrupt your thinking. Good morning, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and the reason why I say that is because you seem to be new here.”

“Good morning. I am yes, I’m getting that a lot today. Wait, did you say your name was Twilight Sparkle?”

“Why yes, have you heard of me?”

“Well, I know your friend Rarity, I’m sorry, my name is Verandernden Korper, but you can call me VK.”

“Pleasure to make your acquaintance VK.”

So this was one of the other mares that Rarity was talking about. Twilight held with her a lavender coat with purple eyes, her mane was black with dark and light purple stripes. Her cutie mark looked like a bunch of stars, a sparkle? Lastly, she was also a unicorn, most likely a magic user. I then heard a yawn coming from behind her.

“Huh?”

“Ahh, that was a good nap.”

“Did you hear that?”

Twilight moved to her side, revealing what appeared to be a baby dragon on her back. It had purple scales, a green torso, and dark green eyes.

“I needed that nap, huh? Hey Twilight, who is this?

“Oh I’m sorry, VK, I would like you to meet Spike, he is my assistant and very well known friend”

“A baby dragon?”

“That’s me.”

“Why are you surprised?”

“Well, where I am from, there were no dragons.”

“Hmm, where are you from?”

After explaining my fake history for the second time, Twilight began to question me.

“Zeljeznikio? I have never heard of such a place. Not in any of my books.”

“It’s very small, no pony has.”

“Well that makes sense, it must be very far.”

“It was, and I never want to go back there, life there was horrid.”

“Well there’s no point in going back to the-“

“Hey Twilight!”

I heard a voice from above. A figure began zooming down onto the face of the earth. She now entered our surroundings.

“Oh, hey Rainbow Dash.”

Rainbow Dash? Another one of the ponies mentioned by Rarity?

“What’s up Twilight?”

Rainbow Dash was another Pegasus; she had a light blue coat with purple eyes and a mane representing a…rainbow, it had the same colors. Her cutie mark was a cloud with a lightning bolt sticking out of it.

“Nothing much, have you met VK? He is new around here coming from Zeljeznikio.”

“Zeljeznikio? What kind of a place is that?”

“Well, you wouldn’t want to go there, it’s very far and not worth the trip. So you must be Rainbow Dash”

“The one and only, and member of the wonder bolts. I’m guessing you must have heard of me? The only mare able to perform the Sonic Rain Boom?

“Well, to be honest, I’m new here, so no.”

Her jaw dropped.

“Are you okay?”

“No way, did you just arrive in Equestria? Where have you been?”

“Yes actually.”

“Oh…well, you know me now.”

Rarity had actually mentioned of this event before, however it took me a few seconds to pick up the thoughts.

“Wait I think I have heard of you, aren’t you one of Rarity’s friends?

“One of the mares who saved Equestria, three times, yes!”

Three times? Wait, Rarity mentioned her and the Mane Six saving Equestria only twice, when was the third? This was odd…

“Well, it’s nice to meet you too. Anyhow, I have to get going.”

“No it’s alright” Twilight said, we have to get going, Spike, Rainbow and I were on our way to fix the library.”

“The library?”

Twilight began walking away with Spike resting on her back, while Rainbow was hovering in the same direction she was heading.

“Yes it’s where I live, some ponies drop by often to borrow a book, but they never put them in the right places.”

“Well, best of luck!”

“Bye!”

Spike didn’t say anything because he was napping again.

“See ya later VK!”

This has been quite a day, and not to mention the only day I have been here. I went to walk around the town some more, and then I heard something.

“Hey, Big Mac! What are yah doin’?

“Sorry sis, but somtin’ is wrong with the wagon.”

“Well keep pushin’ harder, ya’ll got to get these apples to the farm before noon!”

Hmm, what was this? Maybe I could help.

“I’m telling ya, there is somtin’ wrong with the wagon!”

“Now don’t be so paranoid! There ain’ nothin’ wrong at all!”

The Orange Pony placed her hoof on the contraption, a wheel broke off.

“Dang it!”

“What do we do now?”

“Well, it’s a good thing there be a spare wheel on the back, but we best be needin’ a hammer if we wish to put it on. Big Mac, did you-“

“Nope.”

The Orange gave out a sigh.

“Fine, I’ll git it, give me bou’t a few minutes.”

“Can I help?”

“Hm? Now yall don’t recall you around here, who in the hey might you be?”

“My name is VK, I’m new here, I thought you could use some help with your wagon.”

“Well do yall have a hammer?”

“No, just let me check something.”

I took the spare wheel and lifted the bottom of the wagon. I wondered if my powers still worked. I tried to see if I was able to at least use my arm hammer, I began to concentrate. Nothing had worked, and then I tried again. Eventually, I found my arm in hammer form once again, invisible to any pony of course. I gave the wheel one hit onto the wagon, and as simple as that, a perfect fit.

“There.”

“Wow, you fixed it so fast! Thank you. By the way, mah name’s Applejack, this is mah brother Big Macintosh. Umm, sorry, what was yer name agin?”

“Well, you could just call me VK, that’s how I have always been addressed by.”

“Ah see, would you like to come to our farm for some lunch? It would be the least we could do fer ya.”

“Well, you really don’t have-“

I felt a noise erupt from my lower torso. It has actually been a while since I ate anything.

“Sure.”

Me and the two ponies walked down the road to the bridge heading out of Pony Ville.

“So tell me bout’ yerself VK, where ya from?”
