Chapters To the world of equestria
A wish come true((edited))
Today was about the same as any other day, birds chirping, wind blowing. Though it was more warm then usual, where I live doesn't get too cold but by winter it is usually 40 or 50 degrees, today was 80.
I wasn't complaining about the weather though, it was a nicer day. My boss decided that I had to work over night for some reason. I've done Overtime before but this time was bad. It was saturday and my little pony was starting in 2 hours, I barely had any sleep and I think I would faint in the middle of it. I knew if I fell asleep I would oversleep so if I did, I wouldn't watch the show. So I stayed up and waited to watch the show.
After a few minutes I went online to talk with some bronies I knew on a forum site. We would usually talk before each episode, always guessing what would happen next episode. I didn't have any real connection with them so I wasn't the one guessing most of the time. I always have fun watching them debate who is best pony on the show, always one of them go too far and I usually laugh. After talking to them while we were waiting the episode started and I sang along to the amazing theme.
The episode was like most, great, well scripted and animated with an amazing song. I watched with the same glee as always as the mane 6 went on they're next adventure, how much I envy them. Sadly throughout the episode I went in and out of sleep and yawned every 5 minutes. It wasn't as great as some other episodes but it was good nonetheless, after the credits rolled and when I was about to change the channel something odd happened......
After the credits rolled instead of going to commercial it showed each of the mane 6's cutie marks. I was baffled, I watched without yawning or anything as the cutie marks seemed to spin around, they didn't go away. They seemed to spin faster and faster as I kept watching, Icouldn't look away. All I could see was the colors of each cutie mark spin and spin. Before I knew it as was walking closer and closer until I could see my hand reaching for the tv. Though my hand seemed to disappear, I tried to pull my hand back but it stuck into the...tv? Mixed into the colors. When I regained grasp of what is going on my whole body was being sucked in. All I could do was scream and yell, I had no control, and I hoped that the people in my apartment complex(oh i forgot to mention didn't i?) but no one came. All that happened was seeing the six colors swirl me in.
WOOOSH!!!
When I awoke from consciousness, I found the sky above me a very colorful blue, with clouds all but realistic. I go to regain my footing to see.....not a foot but a......hoof. In my head it seemed normal, but the rest of my body wante to faint at the sight of it, having still being tired. It was brown, my whole body was brown, All i could see on me was brown. I now regain my.....hoofing, and look at my surroundings. Green fields with trees filled in them, apples dangling from many branches. The apples, grass below me and the trees all looked wet, Must of rained i came to that conclusion, though I don't know why that was my first thought.
"Where they Hay am-!"
I just tried to swear, instead I said 'hay', after that I tried swearing in as many ways as possible, everytime changed to 'hay' or some other word. Though the words I was trying to say didn't seem to come out, they seemed odd, unworldy, but so familiar.
I didn't fully believe I was a pony or in equestria, my brain kept saying it's normal though it was trying to keep from fainting. I tried looking back at what happened, my mind was blank. I could remember nothing of what happened, not even that I was human, but I still didn't believe that everything I see before me was right. Like something was off, I can remember everything about equestria but can't remember it being a show. The swearing too sounded like I should've said something else, but it didn't. All I did was doubt what's going on without any memory that would help my doubt.
My thoughts were disturbed by something that would trigger my thought of sleep, for some reason, a voice, not any voice, but a familiar one. I had no memory of who it was just that it sounded familiar, but before I could think it my muzzle lands face first into a tree.
"Hey what are ya'll doing here?!. Hey wait-!"

To the world of equestria
The only other thing I could see was two ponies, one being orange and the other Purple, conversing right by me. My ears rang from the banging and my head throbbing badly, I try to listen to what they were talking about, most of what I heard was jumbled, very little I was able to listen to.
"Yah twi I.........he went and banged right on that tree once I saw him...............hopefully you could help with the big......."
"Wow that looks.........i'll get him to my.......take care of him"
wait take care of me? What's so b-? . Before I could finish the thought my eyes, which were closed when I was listening, slightly opened up. I could see the hoof of the purple pony come up, that was enough indication to know the pony saw me open my eyes. Though when the lavender pony started talking, all I could hear was garbled. I couldn't keep consiousness long it seems. "Hey is he...?" And then everything was black.
As I awake from a much needed slumber I find myself looking straight up at the Wooden ceiling, the roof was a made of logs and some leaves, It didn't seem like water could leak through however. I look down to see myself wrapped in a star filled blanket, I little baby bed just in front of the main wooden bed. I look around the room I was in, it looked like a tree, a big tree. A window to my right looking through it, it was morning as the window faced east and the sun was in sight. Recalling before fainting, it was dark out when I heard the two ponies conversing, it seemed the sun was coming out from the horizon. As I keep looking around i see even more wood, just a bookshelf, closer examination sees two, then three. I look to my left to see a little fence right by the bed, I look behind the fence to see a drop down, squinting my eyes because my vision wasn't the greatest from the tree + face incident. All I could see was bookshelves, and books filling each of them. It was completely reminded me of the throbbing headache, I go and rub my head to when I feel a little bump at my forehead. I easily guessed that is what the two ponies were talking about when I was unconsious. Rubbing it more showed it being huge, covering at least a good half my forehead. How could a tree do that much? .
As I look back down the fence i saw a lavender uni- wait pegasus? The unicorn pegasus thing anyway was coming upstairs, where I was. I didn't think about the pony coming upstairs, I couldn't fully pinpoint what the pony is. I thought about it for a moment before I realized who it was. When the "Alicorn" came up to the final step it was enough for me to know the pony in front of me.
"P-Princess Twilight!"
Even though I had no memory of me being human, I could remember((except for it being a show)) all about the MLP world, and also remembered all the princessess, Twilight included. Twilight, first shocked by the scream I gave out and a frown when I said "Princess Twilight"looked at me for a few moments, well thats until i noticed her eyes go up from mine to the lump on my head. I didn't noticed how embarressed I look about the lump until I covered it up with my hoof. Twilight then looked down back at me, now in confusion.
"Well that was unexpected"
"U-Uh i'm sorry Miss Sparkle, I didn't think you'd appear"
"Well this is my home, why wouldn't I be here?"
The lavender alicorn in front of me giggles at her own joke, though it just baffles me more to think Twilight is being so casual with a pony she barely knows? No, not even barely she doesn't know me at all! Yet she can act like we were best friends. After the thought I notice an odd sensation at my head, not like the throbbing before a soothing one. A few seconds pass as the soothing feeling disappears and the only feeling in my head was......nothing.
"I guess the medication finally started working" Twilight says looking straight at me
"Huh what medication?" I ask, the feeling still fresh in my memory
"Ah while you were unconscious I gave you some medicine, one to stop the pain and the other to lower the swelling. You hit your head bad on that tree last night."
The mere thought of me banging my head on the tree made the throbbing come back, but the medicine fought and one, a few seconds later it was gone.
"Well do you know what you were doing out there? Applejack found you standing there in the middle of sweet apple acres, when I called out to you, well, you went face first into a tree. A few apples on it fell off and hit your back as you fainted" Twilight asks, catching me offgaurd. I was still thinking of the wonderful medicine as she started talking. I tried to recall what happened before again, i could remember little, most being too blurry to recognize and the other memories were blank.
"I-I don't know, i can't remember." That was all i could say, bringing the eyes of twilight wide open. I'm surprised her jaw didn't drop.
"You mean you can't remember anything about what happened? Can you remember your name?"
The one thing i didn't think about was my name, i knew it though, I did. Or at least i think I did. To tell the truth the name I thought was mine i thought didn't fit, even though from what i think my cutie mark being a leaf.
"Oh yeah i know my name, it's.....Leaved Novel. But you can call me leaf" saying the name out loud made it feel more like it didn't fit, i really didn't understand what 'Novel' is. It was the only name i knew ((other than the Princesses names)) so i thought it was mine. Twilight seemed to ponder the name for a moment, as if thinking what it meant, most names for ponies match who they are, i wouldn't be surprised if Twilight thought i was a farmer. She then relieved my thoughts that moment.
"Leaf, it's nice to meet you. I guess you already know me so i really don't have to introduce myself, i will do it anyway. My name is Twilight Sparkle, it is nice to meet you Leaved Novel"
When she noticed she repeated 'nice to meet you' she looks away for a second, antisocial to the teeth. It wasn't like i was the greatest in conversations, i would stutter every so often, and really don't know how to start a good conversation. I could last in one though, enough to keep talking at least. After i figure out it has been 5 minutes and neither has said a word, i try to figure out some of what's going on in the least.
"So...where are we?" I ask, Twilight first looks at me like i'm an idiot, but it softens up when i guess she remembers my memory problem.
"Oh we are in ponyville, i'm sorry i should have said that first."
"oh no it's fine, i just didn't know."
"i understand" the sheer casual tone of the Lavender princess still would confuse me, a pony so important so easily talking to a stranger. It's astonishing. To me i was a frightened filly running from a timberwolf. i couldn't keep calling her 'miss' or 'princess' because of it. I calmed myself.
"well I guess I should explain what happened" twilight says, I nod in approval and she explains. Apparently Applejack, a farmer at sweet apple acres, found me mumbling 'hay' a lot, I guess I looked mental as Twilight explained it. When Applejack called out to me I jumped and knocked onto the tree, when that happened Applejack called Twilight to help take care of me, when they saw the big bump I guessed they worried it would be fatal, though twilight learned later it would heal without any damage.
"Did I hit the tree that bad?" I say rubbing the spot, it hurt a little but I just wanted to see how big it actually is.
"Applejack said you looked like a mad dog running, slammed right into it"
"well I don't think a mad dog slamming in a tree would stop it"
We both chuckle at the comment, Twilight seems to finally notice that i've calmed, she again looked at the lump on my head. A concerned look on her face now.
"ok well you should get some rest, i'll help you tomorrow with the rest. By then the swelling will go down and less ponies will....how should I say it, stare"
"i understand, thank you for all your help twilight sparkle"
Twilight nods at me as she leaves, she went through another door, guessing a guest room, shut the door behind her and everything went silent. To me something was different, like something has changed inside me, a new way to live.
I woke up to a new world......

To the world of equestria
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
I woke up a few times during the day, luckily i awoke at lunch and dinner. Twilight saw my famish and got me some hay sandwich, it tasted different from what i'm used to but it was good. I was entirely grateful of Twilight doing this for me, she took the time from other things to take care of me. Instead of hanging out with some friends or doing whatever a Princess does to make sure i was fed, healing properly and overall doing well. I couldn't be in any more debt to her, which i will at some moment repay. I didn't know how i would repay it but i knew that i will someday.
I end up finding myself awoken the next day by a warm feeling on my chest, i didn't pay any attention at first thinking it being the sunlight coming in. That's until i felt tiny things moving on my chest.
So i open my eyes to see what was on me, i look down from the ceiling to see a purple green....dragon
At first i screamed, with whatever memory i had of dragons it's that there dangerous, i didn't notice that it was a baby dragon though. Anyway i ended ip jumping up sitting up on the bed, as if knowing i would do that, the baby dragon jumps off.
"Woah! Calm down."
"Your a-a...wait baby dragon?"
The dragon seems to blush at me saying this, but that wasn't on my mind. I started questioning my own memory that moment. I could remember nothing of my past but can remember how dangerous dragons can be, i felt something off as well, as if my memory isn't my memory. Like somepony else's memory placed into my head. I pondered on this for a second before i saw the baby dragon staring at me.
"Hey you ok dude?"
"H-huh? Oh yeah i'm fine"
The dragon seems to change his attitude as my voice calms.
"Ook, well i already know your name. I'm spike, Twilight's number 1 assistant." Spike says, standing proud at the name, truthfully at first i thought of slavery, thar changed when i saw the proud baby dragon, still.
"But wait....your a baby dragon?"
"Yep, except it seems i'm the only guy here who talks in ponyville, it's great to get another male around here. I can handle only so many tea parties and sleep overs."
I was about to ask why that is until a voice came from below.
"I'm back!! Spike where are you?!" I instantly knew that was Twilight calling, Spike seemed to know as well as a shocked look come's over his face."
I'm right here Twi!" Spike calls as he come's down the stairs, i couldn't see either of them now so i focused my ears to the two.
"Spike what were you doing up there? He better not be awake." Twilight asks
"Uh no i was just....checking on him! Yeah that's what i was doing! Checking on our guest"
I could almost see the rolling of the eyes of Twilight Sparkle, though it was shortlived when i hear her hoofsteps come upstairs.
"Ah your awake, well it's good to know the swelling has gone down." Twilight says, giving a look of dissapointment to Spike, who just looked away in embarressment. I didn't even think of the swelling, as the thumping in my head has all but stopped. I check my forehead to confirm what Twilight said, sure enough, the swelling has gone from big lump to little pimple. Wow Twilight's medicine works some magic .
"Well like i promised, i'll help you with living in ponyville. I'll give you a tour of ponyville and i'll introduce you to some of my friends, Applejack included." Twilight says, it did seem like a good idea, at least until i regain my memory at the time. I nod my approval as Twilight seemed to come at the same conclusion.
"Ok let's get going, Spike can you go see if Rarity needs any help?" She says, Spike seemed comepletely happy once she said "Rarity"
"Got it Twilight! Have a nice day leaved.....eh leaf!" He waves and pretty much disappears at the speed of light. I pretty much figured that Twilight wanted Spike not to be a bother, but it was fine with me. The challenge i had right now though was getting out of the bed, i was in it for a whole day and my legs were still asleep. So i take all the power i could muster just to put my hooves on the ground, after a few wobbles and a few shakes of Twilight's head i get on all four hooves.
"Ok where to first then?" I ask, placing the blankets back together before i face Twilight once again.
"Well first out of the house, then i guess we'll go to town square, that would be a good start right?"
"Yep, start from the middle and spread out. I like that"
Twilight smiles before going down the stairs, the smile catches me offgaurd, it seemed such a sweet one because of my compliment. After a few more wobbles i get downstairs, i never got a good look of the main floor until now. Bookshelves were at each wall in every direction, a small desk with some paper, a feather in an ink vile, and a stack of books in the corner. The desk faces a window that is slightly open, the sun shines perfectly through the small window, letting a good amount of sunlight into the room. There were a few cushions surrounding a small coffee table, a small flower vase on the table. There was a door leading to another room, which i guessed was the kitchen. Before i could take another look around i could hear the front door opening with Twilight stepping out.
"Coming?" She asks
"A-Ah yeah i'm coming" i say hurrying to the front door, once i get outside i close the door behind me and Twilight gestures a follow. When we kept going to a tall building which i guessed was the town hall, i kept looking around at the town i was just able to see through the window of the bedroom. It was a sight for sore eyes in the least. Ponies walked about the town in a no hurry fashion, pegasus flied above able to keep conversations up in the air. Different buildings, some looking completely extravagent, some being the same, tall building with a hay roof. Looking behind me showed the treehouse i was sleeping in, a huge tree with a balcony coming out of the right, the whole roof was branches with leaves connected everywhere, making a huge green afro, though inside it looked like an average wooden ceiling. Twilight seems to catch me looking around
"Like what you see?" Twilight asks
"Oh what? Yeah ponyville looks really nice"
It really was nice, and as ponies walked all about, even with me being with a princess and a nice looking pimple on my head they still didn't give me or twilight a second glance. It wasn't something i expected to see when i was comepletely new to ponyville and i was with a pony of many duties. I kept looking around when i noticed a pink pony cone racing towards us, the pony not taking her gaze off of me.
"Hey Twilight, who is that?" I say pointing toward the pink mare, when Twilight looks to the pony i could see her roll her eyes.
"Oh great, well brace your-"
"*gasp* yournewinponyvilleiknowbecauseimfriendswitheeeeveryponyhereandidontknowyousomustbedefinitelynewso hey i'm pinkie pie what's your name?"
I really wasn't expecting that. "Pinkie Pie" stopped right in front of me and blabbered.....well that!! As she was doing that she kept leaning towards me, making me crouch low to the ground with my ears back. By the end of it we were nose to nose.
"Pinkie! Come on give him some space" twilight says, judging how she reacted with a roll of eyes and shaking of head, she knew this was going to happen.
"Ooooh sorry!!" Pinkie says stepping back, still in personal space but better than being nose to nose, her tone didn't change one bit though, keeping with an over enthusiastic voice.
"W-Well, hi i'm Leaved Novel"
"Hi there! Could i just call you leafy?! It seems like a nice name for you what do you think huh huh!?"
"Ok pinkie, don't you have other matters to attend to" twilight says, as Pinkie was again moving a little too close for comfort.
"Oh yeah i now have to get a party set up!! Ok well see you tonight leafy be at Twilight's ok? Ok?! Ok bye bye!!" Pinkie says, me i could've sworn she was there 2 seconds ago but now she isn't.
"Well now you met pinkie pie"
"I'm sorry i have to ask, is she...you know?" I ask
"Oh no no!! She isn't. Just a very enthusiastic pony, she is pretty much Ponyville's party pony" Twilight replies
We didn't have to keep on talking, so instead we both kept towards town square. Once we got there, the town square was jam packed with ponies of many kind, talking, eating, pretty much whatever! The main building in the middle, which Twilight explained as town hall, was a huge tower pretty much, with a balcony at about mid level, a nice pointy tip at the end.
"Wow do all ponies hang out around here?" I ask, completely surprised at the sheer amount of ponies they're are.
"Yeah, most of the shops and other businesses like being in town square because of this. Look over there" she says, pointing toward a very pink building.
The building pretty much looked like a cupcake, with pink pretty much everywhere. A good look in the window would see a good amount of sweets inside, two ponies also inside
"That is sugarcube corner, Mr and Mrs. cake own the shop, Pinkie pie also works there." Twilight explains
"So that's why it reminded me of pinkie pie, unless there is another pony as extravegant like her i would've guessed them"
"Yep, i think pinkie did paint the shop"
After a quick giggle, we end up moving in another direction. Twilight showed me a few shops that would prove useful for living, some quite odd, there was a sofa and quil shop?
We end up in a huge field filled to the brim with apple trees, all reminding me of when i woke up in the middle of these fields. I already knew this is where Applejack lived, as Twilight already explained where she lived. So she doesn't talk about who were going to meet. It doesn't take long for us to come up to a small farmhouse with a barn right next to it. A familiar face with a smiling sun on the side of the barn, again Twilight didn't have to explain that it was pinkie. Right away an orange mare comes out of the farm house, a blonde mane with a cowmare hat on top. Me guessing it was Applejack, just waits as she approaches, i must've made the right move as Twilight did the same.
"I was guessing ya'll would come here sooner er later. Good to see that lump gone, barely can see it!" Applejack says, stopping in front of us.
"Well it's still there, just a little pimple now." I reply, Applejack nods in return.
"Good morning Applejack, I already told our friend here about how you found him."
"Yah good to see you again, what was with all the Haying anyway? You look'd like a mad pony" Applejack says, i went to reply until i thought of it for a second. The day seemed blurry in my mind now, the day before it was a little hard to remember but today was different. It seemed as if my point of view was almost erased, i was only able to know somepony else's that day
"Actually, i don't know. That day seems hazy to me" i reply
"Ah i get it, ya did knock you're head real good on the tree. I ain't that surprised. Well what ur name anyway? Never got it" Applejack asks
"Oh sorry, It's Leaved Novel"
"Ok well back to introducing, but we do have a problem Applejack. He seems to have amnesia, Leaf can't remember what happened before the fields. Other than finding himself awake there."
Applejack looks straight at me, she doesn't seemed shocked that i have some sort of amnesia. I could guess why.
"Well i ain that surprised! Again you slammed pretty hard into that tree! The only thing i'm surprised about is that's ALL that happened to you" Applejack replies,Thanks for the faith...
"Aaanyway it's nice to meet you Applejack" i say, trying to change the subject.
"Nice to meet ya too Leaf, hope you have a better time with the whole head issue" Applejack replies.
"Ok let's get going, we may find Rainbow flying over town."
"Ah i saw RainbowDash going towards town square, you might see her there"
"Thanks Applejack, then back to town square then leaf"
As i turn around to go back to town i could hear whispers behind me, i don't turn back around but try to listen to what they're saying. It isn't hard to hear them as they weren't quiet whisperers.
"He already met pinkie?" Applejack asks
"Yeah, i'm guessing my place tonight"
"Ok, i'll bet she'll be here anyway but thx twi for the notice. Better get the rest of these apples in the cellar."
"Your welcome Applejack, see you soon" Twilight says, turning around and catching up to me. Now the both of us trot back to the hub of ponyville.
We come back into town square, nothing has changed from what i've seen. Ponies chatting and having fun all about, nothing couldn't be better. I kept looking around as Twilight kept her eyes up in the sky. It took me a few seconds to understand what she was doing, that was when i saw a rainbow come hurling straight towards me.
"Watch Out!!!! "
Once again i found my self awoke on the ground, but this time the, what i thought was a rainbow, pony that came hurling at me laying right next to me.
"Uuuuh wow that hurt...."the pony said
"RainbowDash!! I've told you a thousand times to be careful when your in town." Twilight huffs
"heeey! Is the lump back?" i said, really trying to lighten it up. It didn't work when the pony, said to be Rainbowdash, saw my head
"Oh did i do that?" she said. That is when i actually when to feel my head, sure enough in the exact same spot
"Ah come on it just went away!"i yell, getting up on my hooves
"don't worry leaf i'd get that fix in a jiffy. But Rainbow!!! what happened?" Twilight asks as Rainbowdash gets up on her own hooves, folding her wings in.
"Well what do you think happened!! Ummmm.....I was doing some new tricks and well.....the wind shifted and i was plummeting straight down. sorry about that....uh what's your name again?" Rainbowdash asks
"Huh, oh it's Leaved Novel." I reply, judging by how many times i already have to introduce myself i'm already getting sick of it.
"Ah sorry Leaved...can i just call you leaf? Well sorry leaf......but i gotta keep training if the wonderbolts are gonna get anymore impressed of me got to run!!!" Rainbowdash says, before i could even reply she was already a good 20 yards away. My that Pegasus is fast!!
"I'm sorry leaf, that's pretty much rainbowdash. I guess you will see more of her tonight. Then let's get to Rarity's, hopefully she has Spike preoccupied enough to talk for a bit." Twilight says, and again before i could reply she was already heading off. All i could do was follow.
While we were walking through ponyville i started notice a trend as different ponies came by. None seemed to notice((or care)) that i am with a princess? We wouldn't even get a second glance, just a smile or a nod more geared to Twilight. It made me wonder how these ponies could be so normal around her but i was about to burst. Doesn't help you wake up in her bed i guess.
"Here we are" Twilight says, pulling me out of my train of thought. I end up looking up to a well decorated building, full of very elegant colors.
"Hmm looks nifty" i say, really not knowing what to say.
"This is where Rarity lives, i've already mentioned her before but she is a fashionista. This is her boutique." Twilight explains, though the place did look like a boutique. We enter anyway coming into.....
"Didn't know fashionista's could be messy!" That was an understatement. Piles of cloth, thread, and whatever else you can think of is stacked up about. Clothing scattered about the floor. Baskets layed about with even more clothes in them. I swore i actually saw a sink inside one of the piles.
"Rarity!! Are you here?!" Twilight calls, sure enough, after a few pushes from a door blocked by a cloth pile it opens. A elegant mare comes strolling out, or at least tries to be elegant. She looks at both of us before walking closer, slipping on a few gowns.
"Hello Twilight darling, and who is this?" She asks, a slight urgency in her voice. I figured she didn't like the idea of a stranger seeing her home like this.
"Hi, i'm Leaved Novel" i reply, taking a short bow before i too slip, just this time on a skirt.
"Rarity why is it such a mess? You're usually never this dirty, at least right at the front door" Twilight says
"Oh i am so terribly sorry about the mess, i have been trying to find a certain dress and i guess i got a little....carried away hehe" Rarity replies, her white cheeks turning red.
"What about Spike? Where is he?" Twilight says
"Oh Spike? He is upstairs seeing if i left it up there, i could have sworn i had it on a mannequin just yesterday! Oh i don't know where i should look" Rarity cries. I could hear the urgency in her voice, i knew i had to help in some way, but i didn't know how. So the first place that came to mind.
"Well did you check you closet?" I say, I pretty much knew i wasn't-
"Yes i- wait did i? I'll be right back" Rarity says, bolting through the door she just came from. I really had my jaw dropped when i learned that wasn't the first place she checked, Twilight picked up on it too, as her eyes were wide open.
"Wow, i don't know how you guessed that" She said
"I didn't even know if she had a closet" I reply
"Lucky guess?"
"Yep"
Before we could keep going wondering what the chances of that happening Rarity comes out from the back, moving any more of a mess out of her way, with a blue and silver dress. Stars we scattered as it seemed to be a sky in a dress. One look to my left, where twilight stood red all over, told me who it is for.
"Look twilight! I've been working on our old dresses and remaking them for this year's gala. It will look just marvelous on you!" Rarity says, quite proud in here work. Though once she takes a look at Twilight, then one at me, told her why she was blushed. I was confused and confused only. But another thing catched my attention.
"Wait what is the gala?" I ask, if i still had the slightest memory of my human life i would know exactly what it is.
"How would you not know of the gala? Everypony knows of it, it is the Grand Galloping Gala. The most elegant party in all of equestria! How could you not know?" Rarity asks, her way of saying it definitely showed her enthusiasm of the gala. Before i could answer how "I couldn't of known" Twilight goes up and whispers into Rarity's ear, this puts the eyes of the mare up. Ah so you haven't told all of your friends about me i thought. I get a few unblinking stares from Rarity before she utters a word.
"Oh my i didn't know, i hope you can get your memory back." She says, making Twilight put a hoof right on her muzzle. Guessing she didn't want her to blurt it out?
"It's not a problem, i'm having a nice time here in ponyville though" i say, assuring Twilight it's ok.
"Well hopefully this can get....tidy. We will be going now, best for last" Twilight says, and again whispers into Rarity's ear. This time i could hear.
"My place tonight, Pinkie" Twilight says, getting a stern nod from Rarity. what is going on with that? before i could finish my thought Twilight had already dragged me outside, Rarity waving her goodbye. Next thing i knew we were going to our next location.
Though whatever's going on told me otherwise.
We end walking right through the now less busy ponyville to the outskirts, i didn't fully understand why we were there but didn't question the Alicorn. She knew where she is going so why ask? We keep going until a very threatning sight comes into view, catching me totally offgaurd. It was a huge overgrown forest just peering out from the freshly cut grass. Every so often you could see a moving vine or a pair of eyes peer straight at you.
"W-We aren't going in there right?" I ask, pointing straight at it. Twilight pretty much guessed with out me pointing.
"No, that's the everfree forest, we aren't going in there anytime soon. We are going this way" Twilight assures me, not turning left onto a small pathway. After walking on this path for a bit i see where we are going. A small cottage just up the path comes into view as we climb up the next hill. All around it are small birds chirping and not too far away a few deer eating some grass.
"Ok wo you are about to meet is a little....has a little trouble talking to ponies she just met." Twilight says, pulling a curious look from me. I said nothing as we approached. Once we got to the front door she knocked right away, it takes a few moments for a small, sweet voice to come from the other side.
"W-Who is it?" Says the quiet voice
"It's Twilight Fluttershy!" She calls
After hearing that i can hear a few unlocks then the door finally opens. A mare on the other side peers out before looking straight at me. The mare's eyes widen and the door shuts loudly. Twilight next to me gives a few huffs before knocking again.
"Fluttershy! Don't worry he isn't going to hurt you, he is a friend." Twilight calls to the mare, seemingly fluttershy, once again.
"A-Are you....sure?" The pony says in again a soft voice.
"Yes" Twilight says softly. With that the door opens again, this time only a little and peers again straight at me. I try to put a smile that would at least calm the mare, though it seems to do nothing.
"Hello" i say, trying to make sure that the mare won't bolt away.
"Um....H-hi" she says, opening the door fully, but places her mane to wear it covers up half her face, then places her head so that all i can see is her long. Pink mane.
"Fluttershy, This is Leaved Novel, a friend of mine." Twilight says, it was a surprise to be called a friend. She still barely knew me, so i don'f know if it counts as being a friend in such little time. I let it go to see the matter at hand.
"it's good to meet you" i say, keeping my distance to not scare her.
"N-Nice to um...meet you too" Fluttershy says, leaving it to an awkward silence. Twilight was the first to break the silence.
"Ok well, hopefully you two can get to know eachother another time." Twilight says, quickly going up to Fluttershy and whispering in her ear. I couldn't know what she whispered but i could guess it was the same. Getting the same nod as every other time. After which we went off, even with how shy she was Fluttershy still waved a goodbye. Which both of us waved back. Heading back into ponyville.
As we were traveling back through ponyville i noticed a easy oddity. It wasn't hard to notice that there wasn't, well anypony! The square was almost abandoned and i was pretty sure it was just starting to get dark. I actually wanted to see the night life here in ponyville, see how different it is. I guessed i would have to see it another time. I kept trying to ask Twilight where everypony is, the most she would say is how would i know? Or it's not a big deal, so ponies are going home early, it's nothing to worry about. Every time my suspicion hightened when she answered like that. After a bit i kept quiet, letting whatever will happen unfold. My suspicions though never left.
It didn't take long until we were back at the treehouse, a thought came to mind when she was unlocking the door. where will i go now?
SURPRISE!!!
If that scream wasn't enough to give me a heart attack i don't know what is. Twilight opens the door and let's me step in first, i wonder why. Once i step in the jumps into a dance of light and right in front of me, at least 90% of the town crammed into the treehouse. All yelling the same thing. My reaction of springing a few feet landing on my rump seemed to satisfy them all. Though my heavy breathing didn't seem to concern them. How many times have these ponies done this. Twilight was chuckling behind me as i get up, which once i do music starts from a white mare with interesring sunglasses and all the ponies start dancing. A fimiliar pink pony comes tro-hopping towards me as the purple alicorn behind me closes the door.
"Hey! Were you surprised huh huh!! I knew i would did you see your face haha!" Pinkie says, going into what i can't figure out if it is genuine or a fake laugh.
"Ok Pinkie that's enough, that surprised scared him half to death. Though i will say your face was quite funny." Twilight says
"How would you see my face from behin- ok whatever what's going on!?" I say
"Well it's your welcoming party sugarcube" says a familiar voice from behind. I look behind me to see 3 ponies, them being Applejack, Rarity and Rainbowdash.
"Pinkie does these parties for everypony who's knew to ponyville darling. Twilight had one a few years back right here in this spot." Rarity replies, it makes my heart droop though. Even if none of the ponies Twilight greeted me to i still in the back of my mind hoped that somepony in this town would recognize me. Be able to help with my memory. Knowing this told me that nopony here would know me.
"So, this is my welcome party?" I say, getting a nice boop from behind.
"She just said that silly! Come on have fun!! Right after this is Angel's birthday party! Woohoo!" Pinkie says, hopping towards the dancefloor
"That's true leaf, we have all had one of these. So have fun! Let loose!" Rainbowdash says, yanking on my hoof to follow towards the snack stand. Using her wings she finally pulls me over, i didn't give much resistence anyway. She gives me a drink which i wrap around my hoof, when i take a sip i automatically get a strong apple taste. It lingers on my tongue leaving a delicious taste.
"Taste good huh?" Rainbowdash asks
"Yeah! What is it?" I reply
"Apple cider, applejack was able to give some for the party. It's coming up to cider season and she was able to get some early. It tastes SOO good!!" Rainbowdash answers, gulping down half the cup. I end up doing the same.
"Well sorry i was quick to leave last time, i have been doing some new tricks and i'm making A-mazing progress, i will be ready for this year's young flyer's competition. And like usual i will win" Rainbowdash says with her head high in pride. I end up taking note of this, if i'm gonna be stuck here for a bit i better get to making some friends.
"You'll have to show me sometime, unless you are over exaggerating it" i tease, though it takes a second for rainbow to respond. Her tone changes completely though. While i was expecting her to be brash and say there's no chance she did. Instead though her cheeks burn bright.
"Eh hehe, well i hold you up on that then. It'd be a lot of help for somepony to see" she says, her voice keeps low as her ears go back. It stays for a second before she goes right back to what i saw before.
"Well i'm going to the dance floor, you can come join if you want. Have fun" rainbow says before bolting away. I decide not to yet, better wait until i go and talk to some more ponies.
I end up going to twilight and rarity who were chatting toward the back. They both greet me as i come over.
"How are you dearie? Enjoying the party?" Rarity says turning toward me, which Twilight did the same.
"Yeah, Pinkie does some magic with this party. I don't know if i can last for this 'Angel's birthday"
"Oh don't worry, even pinkie won't have two parties in the same day, she knows it doesn't end well." Twilight replies
"Yes, and how are you anyway? Enjoying ponyville?" Rarity asks
"Yeah i am, it's a great place to live" i reply. Which after then us three end up chatting for a bit, the both of them telling me stories of the six of they're's adventure. I noted that the six of them have known eachother for a long time, lot longer than i expected. When i asked if they were fillyhood friends they both shook they're heads. I wouldn't of guessed.
Yet one thing nagged in my head as they told they're stories. It seemed to me that i should know all this. The battle of Discord, The crystal empire, The sonic rainboom. They all seemd like i was familiar with each of them, but couldn't remember them. I end up not worrying about it and enjoy the rest of the night.
Not long after i stepped onto the dance floor and shaked my flank did i notice all six of the ponies i met today all talking and chatting. Even fluttershy who could barely say a word earlier. Looking at them made my heart flutter. My heart envied them while, on the other hoof, my brain fought against the feeling, like i shouldn't be feeling it. But no matter how much my brain tried all it did was stop giving me the whole picture. I learned of one thing in my life before awakening in ponyville. I had no friends, no loved ones, none. A repeating life that gave me no laughs, smiles or embraces. I was alone. This made me step off of the dance floor and watch them, and what i saw made my envy strenghten. I saw a bond between them.
A bond none can break.

After the party died down most of the ponies started leaving, most of which waved a goodbye to me which i returned. Pinkie though was still dancing even without music, i couldn't help but chuckle. The only ponies who stayed were applejack, who was helping clean up, and the DJ, who was packing her stuff. I end up going up to the mare with the sunglasses.
"Hello. Do you need any help?" I ask, making the DJ's ears pop up and look straight at me. But she quickly adjusts her glasses and puts a slight smirk on.
"That'd be great thanks! Aren't you the pony who just came to ponyville? Well welcome!" The pony says brightly, i couldn't help but see a little Rainbowdash from this pony.
"Thank you, yeah i'm leaf nice to meet you" i reply holding my hoof out to shake. Which ends up getting jolted around by the mare.
"Nice to meet ya! I'm Vinyl Scratch, or as most ponies know me as DJPON3." She says, it definitely seemed like a dj name. I help Vinyl clean and pack all of her gear. Usually just unplugging cords and winding them up. I didn't mind, Vinyl was more than willing to chat. I end up hearing about all the places she's been and about her friend Octavia Philoharmonica. After which once it was all packed up i showed her out. When i looked back i saw most of the rest cleaned up and Applejack already left. It was just me, Spike and Twilight.
That brang the thought that jolted out of my head at the start of the party. Where will i stay? At the moment i was homeless, no where to go. I couldn't ask Twilight to let me stay. I already owe so much to Twilight that letting me stay would push the limits. So i didn't ask, though it seemed Twilight, wh was picking up the last of the streamers, read my mind.
"Well, do you know where you're gonna go? Now that you are able to trot around town?" Twilight ask, i can only shrug in reply.
"I don't know where. I just came here with no money, no supplies. I'm kinda trapped" I say. My reaction seems to get a nice smile out of twilight.
"Ok you can stay here then. It's no problem." Twilight replies, me expecting it lets my humble side take control.
"I can't do that, i already overstayed my welcome. I still have to repay you for what you already gave me" i say, going up to the door.
"Oh don't worry! I was going to let you stay if you help me with some studies at night, spike can't stay up that long and Owliscious can only do so much. And i'll pay you with letting you stay here with me and spike. Deal?" Twilight asks, though i didn't know whk Owliscious is i decide to agree. It's the best i could do for now until i get enough money to get my own home.
"Here let me show you the guest room then, or i guess your room now" twilight says, trotting upstairs opening a door that i couldn't see before. Once both of us were inside i took a good look at the room i'll be living in for a bit. It was quite plain. The wood of the tree was all around going upward toward the leaves. A small bed and a night table with a perfume bottle on top. The sheets were of a night sky with a huge amount of stars flooding it. I expected as much with an almost the same sheet on twilight's bed. A small window with a + shape going through it. The window has a perfect view of the moon rising in the sky, reminding me of my own exaustion from the party, i could see twilight the same way.
"Well...., you must be tired so i'll leave, have a good night" twilight says, walking out of the room and what i guess went to bed. Leaving me to my thoughts and yawns. Before i jumped onto the bed i looked at the perfume. "Beauty mare" the tag read. I just place it back down and lay on the bed, i would've thought of everything that had transpired. Waking up in a middle of a field, bonking into a tree, meeting all of the ponies, i couldn't though, i was too tired and before i could even start thinking i find myself drifting off into sleep.
_______________________________________________
Grey, all i saw was grey. I find myself sitting somewhere i didn't know, whatever windows were in view were whited out and nothing could be seen through them. It felt like i didn't have control, no, i didn't have control. I tried turning my head, moving my hooves, nothing. I didn't even see my own body. About the only thing i can see is a glowing square in front of me. The rim of the glow grey, like everything else. It seemed like i was in a trance as i stared at the glow, nothing was different. Was this a dream? I couldn't figure out if this was a dream or reality, i had no control to bang my head for feeling. I did feel something, warmth, much warmth. It came from what i thought was my chest and grew throughout my body. I felt my own lips smile and my eyes squint because of it. How could it be a dream? I had feeling, but no control.
While what i guessed was me kept staring at the light slight banging comes from the side. I could finally feel, and see, my head turn. My body turned left, showing me a hallway with a small table, which on top of the table was a small vase, and a plain door. I could hear a sigh, which i guessed was from me, and could see my view jump much higher. I was tall!! It felt like i was flying, i could have been since i couldn't see down. My view started moving toward the door, going up and down as i go. Though to my shock my eyes seemed to dim, it started to get hard to see as my body was closing in from the door. Before my view turned completely black i saw something appear below my view. One word jolted into my head,
It was a hand...
_______________________________________________
The blackness in my eyes began to change, i had no feeling to find myself back in control of my body. The blackness started to dance with glowing white all around. The floor below me turned into a pale blue light. My body was laying on the ground, which is when i first see my control again. I regain my hoofing and look around me. Stars, a night sky was above me with a glowing floor below. It seemed to go endless in every direction, i couldn't figure out where i am. I couldn't finish my sight seeing as a pony appeared in my view, the pony's mane started to flow like there was an unknown wind blowing it. The pony spreads out it's wings, after that it doesn't take me long to figure out who it was.
Princess Luna
Like as if i did it a million times i automatically bow down to the princess trotting up to me. She nods to say to raise up, which i did right away.
"Hello Ne-i mean Leaved Novel, we are sorry for this inconveniece from your dreaming. We have something to say to thou with great importance" Luna says, it takes a second for me to respond because of the odd way of speaking.
"You have something important to say to me?" I ask, i didn't understand what's going on and having a princess interupt your dreams and say you have something important. I'd say that was the only thing to say.
"Yes, and thou shall listen as we do not have much time. You will awaken soon and my sister will need to speak with us. So will thou listen carefully" She says, i nod and she begins to think how to explain. I was anticipating every word that will come out of luna's mouth, not everypony is spoken to in these circumstances. Plus the only thing that came to thought was of my past, it kept nagging at me of who i was, what i did. I was hoping what she would say would help me learn of my past. That was about the only thing that i would accept anyway.
"We know of your amnesia Leaf, or more or less, forgotten memory . We shall say one thing that thou should never forget" luna says, this confirmed one thing, it was about my memory. Which made me anticipate what was to say more. I nod in agreement and she keeps going. Her tone changing to a more soft tone, kind of a whisper.
"What thou has seen before this greeting, it shall be hard to remember at start. As time goes on thou shall remember more of that one vision, and every time shall this vision appear will we interupt, it is our duty to. Though thou shall know the truth of this vision when the time comes. We ask of one thing in thou's greetings with us in future. Thou shall not speak of visions or any of memory of past. Is this agreed?" Luna's speech ended, i did not reply. I took all of the information given to me by heart. Though questions kept popping in my head, first of all what did she mean by the vision? It was fresh in my head of what i saw just a few minutes ago, or at least it felt like minutes. I didn't know, i put it in the back of my head for now.
"Yes, i agree" i say, i really couldn't say no. First, she was a princess and her word is almost law. Second, if i was stuck with her every time this vision appeared i should give her some repayment for spending some sort of time with me. It was confusing in my head though, i couldn't know what it meant as Luna explained just yet. The princess nodded to my answer.
"Then open your eyes Leaved Novel"
_______________________________________________
I blink a few times at the bright light from the window beside me. It's light completely engulfing the room. It was morning i knew that, my second, unless you count the day when i was in a bed the whole time, in ponyville. It wasn't the first thought in my mind though. What was that? rang through my mind, questions left unanswered when I awaken. In full light, i could remember everything that happened with Princess Luna, but i didn't remember what she called a "vision". The thought of what she meant put me completely on edge to remember what happened. Nothing came to mind except for a word. There was a hand...
"Hey Leaf! You up yet?! Breakfast is ready!" Spike calls from the other end of the door, coming right after is a few BANG BANG BANGs from the door.
"Yeah i'm up! I'll be out in a sec" i say, getting up from the bed. I go to the door remembering the perfume on top of the stand, i think about it for a second before spraying some on me. I haven't taken a bath yet so i pretty much stink. After that i open the door coming face to face with Spike.
"Yeash you wake up early" He says, starting downstairs. Which i follow.
"You're the one the screamed through the door, don't expect me to wake up on that" i say. I knew that wasn't what awoken me, but might as well.
"Ah well, i was thinking you'd be up late. Especialy after one of Pinkie's parties. Guess i'd have to get used to having early bloomers" Spike replies. Even though him knowing i was in the other room was enough, that confirmed Twilight either planned for me to stay or already informed him before she went to bed. We go up to the small table with a few cushions from before, any signs of pinkie's party was long gone by now. Spike already had some breakfast ready, some toast with waffles, not the most fancy but who was i to complain. There was a pony absent though
"Hey where's Twilight?" I ask Spike, who gives me a shrug.
"Dun know, she already had breakfast and then she went out. All Twilight told me to do was to see if you're awake, and when you were get breakfast done." Spike replies, Chomping away at some toast from his own plate. "Go ahead eat, it's not like you have to pay for it"
"Ok" i say sitting down. I went for the toast first, a small amount of butter was spread on the top. I take a small bite first, it tasted a little burnt, but i wasn't going to complain. The butter was creamy a helped the toast slide down my throat. After a few minutes pass and i finished the toast, i go for the waffles. I didn't even get a bite before the front door opened up.
"I'm home!" Twilight says, trotting straight up to spike and i. Wearing saddlebags and small sweat coming from her head.
"Welcome back" both spike and i say in unison, getting a chuckle out of Twilight, and a good stare between the two of us.
"Well i am not staying, i'm picking something up" She says, staring straight at me. I could figure out what she meant.
"Ok where we going today?" I say, leaving my waffles. Which also gives a frown from Spike
"We are going back to Sweet Apple Acres, i've arranged something with Applejack. It will help you a lot. Also Spike here i didn't forget you" Twilight
"Do with it whatever you want, just don't burn down the tree ok?" Twilight says, Spike nods excitedly. I just roll my eyes.
"Ok Leaf let's get going, Applejack can get a little impatient." Twilight now says to me, i nod in agreement and we head off. Whatever happens will happen, i guessed i'll find out once we get there.
_______________________________________________
Princess Luna, in the Royal castle in canterlot, steps out of her room and heads for her sister's room. She has just finished one of the many times she will interupt the memories of Leaved Novel, still getting used to going back and forth from his mind to Equestria. Once getting to her sister's room, she opens the door without knocking to find the Princess of the Sun, Princess Celestia, looking straight out the window, making sure the sun is in the right position for the morning.
"Hello sister, how did it go?" Celestia asks, not moving her head to face Luna.
"Well dear sister, thou was not able to see anything clear in thou's Memory." Luna replies, a few quick nods came from Celestia.
"I know you informed him little, i am not mad though. You did what you need to do, i couldn't have asked you more." Celestia says, finally facing Luna, her eyes unmoving and emotionless. "But i ask, what did you exactly say to him?"
"We informed thou that all will be clear soon, and thou will see more of us every time his memory would appear" Luna replies, getting a resigned sigh from Celestia this time.
"Luna, you did well. Now though you've informed me that soon he will learn the truth of the memory you will keep showing him. I know the more he sees that one Memory he will remember more every time, but that could be altered as you know sister" Celestia replies, Luna now giving a look of shock.
"No please! There is no reason to. We don't know how thou will become of this world, one thou may prosper in or diminish in. Please if there is any other way, or maybe we can let thou stay here in this world. I can already see Thou is-"
"He is a human!" Celestia yells, not to loud though. After a few moments Celestia see's her mistake, very few times does she get angry, and even fewer does she get angry with her dear sister or just a few years ago was trapped on the moon waiting 1000 years for her to return. She softens and thinks for a moment before speaking again.
"He is a human yes, but if we can see if he is different like you think, then we will see over a span of months if he is truly different" She says, looking apologeticaly at Luna
"And when will thou be judged?" Luna asks
"When Neal comes to us..."
Author's Note
Ok so i went and made this chapter so i could work on another story coming out in a bit, maybe a few days. Anyway even if this is done a million times i got some huge ideas from it and changed it a little. Also please tell me in the comments how i'm doing. I don't mean with Grammar but with story telling, does it sound interesting? This story is kinda like my practice in writing so advice and critisism is greatly appreciated.
To the world of equestria
It's been about a month since I started working on farm with Applejack, from what Twilight explained she was reluctant to even let me volunteer. Though she finally let me work there with pay, 5 bits an hour, 6 hours a day, 6 days a week. She help me learned how to buck, which since im an earth pony with some strong backlegs like Applejack says, i learned quickly. No dreams with Luna came to me throughout the month, which kept me wondering how often they will happen. I met Big Macintosh, Granny Smith and all of the Cutie Mark Crusaders as well, meeting the three fillies i couldn'f but chuckle with how impatient they were, even if i couldn't remember how i got mine.
Today was like any other, i would help buck apples, place them in the cellar with the extra key Applejack gave me, and usually take a break and chat with Big Mac or Applejack, Big Mac answering with eeyup or nope and nothing special of a chat with Applejack. Mainly discussing who bucked the most apples, Applejack got 79 and i got 56, about the average one sided numbers. When i get back to the library reading a book by her desk. About the usual.
"Hey i'm home" is all i said, putting my newly bought saddlebags i got a few days ago away. Going straight up to Twilight, she nods back to me in reply. Though what does catch my attention, spike in the corner....gagging?
"Hey Spike, you okay..?" When i say that Twilight's ears perk up and look straight at Spike, after a quick glance to me she gets up and walks up to Spike.
"Well what would Celestia need?" She says, waiting in front of Spike. I couldn't have guessed that after a small amount of green flames comes a letter, what did Spike eat?
Before i could say a word i have a lavender hoof up to my face, shutting me right up. After putting her hoof down Twilight goes and levitates the letter up, opening it to see 7 small golden papers fall out. Though Twilight goes to read aloud the letter.
"My dearest Twilight, as you know you must be in attendance of this, but i have gotten each of you're friend's a ticket to The Grand Galloping Gala. Even your newest friend" and with that Twilight stops reading. Turning straight to me levitating all of the golden tickets up.
"Huh, i don't know how Celestia knows about you but i guess you're going to the Grand Galloping Gala." I guess she expected me to be "Oh my gosh!!!" But no........
"What's the Grand Galloping Gala?" I end up asking, what i get instead is the front door slamming open.
"How do you not know of the gala!!! Oh yeah i'm sorry darling, i forgot about your...anyway, the Grand Galloping Gala is the most Fabulous annual party in Canterlot's royal palace, only the highest of ponies get to attend." Comes a voice from behind, i guessed Rarity. Which i found correct when i turn around.
"Rarity! Have you been eavesdropping? Why would you do that!?" That was enough to burst my eardrums, after i regain my hearing I'm welcomed by Rarity saying her plea.
"Oh no! I wasn't! I came to drop off this book, i ended up hearing in your conversation that's all." It doesn't take long for Twilight to levitate the book Rarity was holding and go to check it in. Leaving my with Rarity.
"So why was I invited? I'm no high class pony you know."
"Because Princess Celestia has let all of us come almost every Gala, now you're the next of us. I do no know how she knows of you but now i have to now make an A-mazing suit for you dearie." Rarity answers my question, nopony knows how Princess Celestia knows of me. Was it Princess Luna? Maybe, i thought to myself as Twilight came back from placing the book in the right place.
"Ok well since your here Rarity here's you're ticket" Twilight says doing exactly that, sending a "squee" from Rarity.
"Thank you so much Twilight! Even if we go every year i always look forward to it."
"I know you love making the dresses, and now 2 suits." I could guess Twilight was talking about me. It's not surprising.
After a few minutes of explaining the Gala to me, Rarity takes her leave straight to her Boutique, both Twilight and I could guess why. After which Twilight comes to me and gives me 3 of the tickets.
"One for Applejack when you go tommorow, and the other in case you run into Fluttershy or the others. Got anything to do?"
"Well i was gonna see if you need anything back here then go for lunch" i say. I start work at 6 o clock AM and end at noon, so i either eat with Applejack or go somewhere.
"Well not right now, i'm gonna need you tonight though. Having a late night study i'll need help with. Be careful out there leaf." Twilight says, taking her leave upstairs. Her tail goes and flicks on my nose, sending an itch i had to go and rub with my hoof. That wasn't my problem in my book, what Twilight said and did haven't happened throughout the month i've been in Ponyville. The "be careful" part wasn't an oddity, it's normal for friends to say as far as i knew, why couldn't they be careful of they're friends? That let me fully believe that we were friends, which was good, though the tail wasn't as reassuring. Was i overthinking it? Maybe, i ended up letting it slide and went out the door.
_______________________________________________
As I kept trotting through ponyville, to a certain cafe i've been in a few times, more thoughts wen't into my head. Ponies who only knew me from the party a month ago were waving, greeting and chatting as I passed by them. Some would try to strike a conversation with me, usually i would get they're names and thats it. Some of them being RoseLuck, Lyra Heartstrings, and the school teacher Cherilee. I wondered how they could greet a newcomer to town, especially one with no memory of his past, and act like they've known me for years((except for them having to introduce themselves)). I wondered how this quaint little town could be so Hospitable to a stranger. Was it Pinkie's party? Are they all crazy? I don't know.
Finally i make it to a small cafe and take a seat at one outside table, it was a nice day and i was going to enjoy it. After a waiter left from taking my order of a fruit salad, i take note of a scene i've seen a few times. This time was different though.
A stallion and a mare, i knew they were a couple, were feeding eachother and having a goodtime a few tables away from me. Like at the party, i envied the couple, not for friendship but for love.... They loved eachother and i knew it. Seeing them broke another wall of my past, at the time before i woke up in Sweet Apple Acres, i had nopo-wait noone to love. I remembered no faces or bodies, but i remembered emptiness, sadness, an empty hole that needed to be filled. Friendship wouldn't be enough to fill it. I had friends, and that healed that healing part in my body that wanted to feel a bond like friends, but now it wants more than friends. It wanted somepo-one to care for, love and cherish for the rest of my life. I didn't know if I could fill that hole though, which made my heart drop.
"Are you ok sir?" I was intent on watching the couple that I didn't see the waiter come up with my food.
"O-Oh i'm fine, sorry." I replied, the waiter nodded and placed down my salad, it looked delicious that my mouth watered at first sight. I knew the waiter saw it as when he left i could hear his snicker. I didn't care though and started eating.
I was enjoying my fruit salad and the midday sun, i have been to this cafe before to know what it tastes like, but i always loved the fruit salad. It wasn't as good as someother times, my mind kept wondering why instead of somepony i thought someone and noone instead of nopony. It didn't take long for a familiar voice come screaming at me as i ate the last bit of my salad.
"Watch Out!! "
_______________________________________________
Once again i find my self blinking a few times trying to get up from the now destroyed table. Except this time i couldn't, a cyan, rainbow maned pony was right on top of me. I couldn't help but feel my cheeks heat up, if i had wings they would've popped open. Except RainbowDash didn't seem to notice.
"Aaah, why do i keep doing that?"
"Hey! Could you get off of me!" I yell, if anypony wasn't looking at us from the crash, now they are.
"Huh? Oh! Sorry Leaf!!" Rainbow now says, jumping straight off of me. One look at her face confirmed that she was embarrased. It ain't surprising, you just crash landed on a pony in the middle of a public area.
"RainbowDash, how many times will you greet me by smashing me into the ground?"
"Hehe...well i was looking for you, i remember you promising me to watch my tricks and i'm finally taking you up on that offer." Rainbow replies as i got up, truthfully i forgot that i would see one of Rainbow's tricks. So it took me a second to figure out when that happened.
"Taking me up on that offer a month later?"
"Yeah...hehe" Rainbow was now rubbing the back of her neck, i guessed she was unsure if she should have asked now.
"Oh wait, here Twilight wanted me to give it to one you mares. I have two others for me and Applejack" I went and gave her the Grand Galloping Gala ticket. She takes it as if she's done it a hundred times, for all i know she could have.
"Ah the Grand Galloping Gala eh? It's already coming up, wow time flies by."
"Yeah, as you can see i'm gonna be going too"
"Well good for you, now let's get going! I wanna get some practice in"
After I paid for the broken table and my meal I headed out with RainbowDash, I said i would and i'll keep true to my word. We end up in a small field not too far from Sweet Apple Acres, and from rainbowdash starting to stretch out was enough for me to know this was the place where she practiced.
"Ok so.." That's all I could say, I wasn't a pegasus, i never flew or for the fact was in the air. I didn't even know how much help I would be to RainbowDash, for the same reasons.
"Well you just watch my menuevers and tell me what you think." Rainbow assures me, it didn'f help because the easiest trick could amaze me.
RainbowDash in a split second was in the air, leaving a rainbow trail behind her. Right away she did a few twists in the air before going into a wide backflip. Next, which was when i thought i tasted grass from my jaw dropped mouth, she flew upside down very close to the ground, coming straight at me. Right before she would hit me RainbowDash pulled straight up, leaving me staring at the rainbow trail. After it dissipated I watched her plummet down to earth the wind seem to slash into to where ever she passed. When once again she came close to hitting the ground the sound seemed to break as a burst of a rainbow ring launched. I blinked a few times at the now pounding wind in my face, hard to keep my hoofing. It was enough for Rainbow to snicker once she landed from her flight.
"So, how'd I do?"
"Are you kidding?! That was Amazing! What the hay was that at the end? I'm surprised i'm still here after that!!" It was genuine, I was absolutely above amazed, i was jaw dropped. My mind wen't crazy with what i just saw, I couldn't put the right words into my mouth to explain any more. It was enough for RainbowDash to stand tall and proud, with a small red on her cheeks.
"I knew it was awesome! At the end i did a sonic rainboom, i've done them a few times, but it never gets old" Rainbow replies, tall and proud at what she did. Satisfied with my reaction.
She asks me again to watch and this time find any flaws in her flight, this time she didn't do a sonic rainboom though. Why? Because we are still not too far from ponyville, and she'd rather not get in trouble with the townfolks. After a few practices and me((trying my best to)) telling her what i thought was wrong and fixing on them, the sun was now about to set, and both of us knew it's time to end.
After heading to the same cafe, with the same waiter, we both go to our respective homes for the night.
_______________________________________________
"Welcome back" Spike says as I close the door, I nod to him ready to go right to bed. What I get instead is a hoof on my shoulder.
"Where are you going? Remember the late night study" Twilight says behind me, I was tired and wanted sleep but I wanted to help Twilight. Like I promised((and the way I pay rent)) I needed to help with any studies Twilight did. I've only done one late night study for Twilight, mainly getting books or filling her coffee cup. I huff and face Twilight, getting ready for the long night.
"Ok what are you learning about today?"
"I- We'll be studying different star patterns today, mainly the ones that face north. There is said to be a newly discovered star pattern there, I want to learn all about it"
"Seems pretty basic" It was, the last was how physical magic could affect a pony's body. I was really expecting to be a test subject this time, I was at the mercy of Twilight tonight.
"It is, might as well make it easy for you." She teases me, I foal like stick out my tongue getting a roll of the eyes from Twilight. After Spike was off to bed we went to work.
I did meet Owliscious the owl the last late night study, so having her help was very useful. It wasn't any different tonight like the last one, every once and a while grabbing a book or writing something down. Pouring coffee((and sneaking some sips)) and finally...
"Hey Leaf come here" I could hear Twilight call me as I grabbed another book. After grabbing it I come up to Twilight's call. She was staring through her telescope on the balcony on the second floor, Owliscious right next to her((staring right at me)) and Spike snoring away by the bed.
"Here look through, it kinda looks like your cutie mark" Twilight says, getting a perplexed look from me in return. I end up looking through the telescope anyway, it was directly pointed at the newly sighted constellation. I had to go and pinpoint all of the new found stars with Twilight's help, when i did.
"Oh wow! It does!" It is almost a complete remake of my cutie mark in constellation format, right down to the tip of the leaf to the stem. It was so surprising i had to go and look at my own cutie mark, sure enough it was just a colored in version of the constellation. I wasn't the only one who had to look back at my cutie mark to be sure.
"Hey, where are you're eyes Twilight?" She looks straight at me then, her cheeks flushing red. Twilight ends up moving me out of the way and looking back through the telescope, her embarressment getting a chuckle out of me.
"A-Anyway, i'll have to check to see if Princess Luna has already named it. If not i think i'll call it....The Novel Constellation" She says to me, now my own cheeks were flushing red. When twilight looked back at me all she did was giggle in return.
"Well i haven't asked a lot lately, but how are you doing? You know, in ponyville?" Twilight asks me, this sends another shock through me. It wasn't odd for the both of us to have a conversation, no, it was she was doing while studying . Never once when she was reading or writing or whatever would coun't as learning would she try to have a conversation. Earlier today included.
"Um...well i've had a great time here in ponyville, i like working with Big Mac and Applejack at the farm. I'm enjoying the different restruants here. I guess overall, i like ponyville" My reply just gets a few nods in return. After a few moments Twilight goes back to a smile.
"Great to hear, at first when i came to ponyville. To tell the truth, I thought everypony here was Cr-azy. I guess at first I saw the odd side of this town, I ended up seeing the good things a little after"
"Really? I thought you lived here in ponyville your whole life, judging how everyone reacts towards you" All my reply gets is a roll of the eyes
"Well no, i've lived here a while and I am a princess, everypony knows my name and most of the ponies who are here already knew me before i was a princess. Nothing really changed unless you count the higher amount of gaurds about and, well?" She replies. Moving her wings around a bit, that was enough to know what she meant. I gave her a nod in return which flipped her back to the telescope.
"Ok, i'm going to write down all of our findings today, you can take a rest now"
"Ah thanks Twili- wait, our findings?" I ask
"Yeah, what did you think? Just get some rest" She replies. Even though the "our findings" was new, I was tired and just wanted some sleep...
_______________________________________________
Not everything was grey this time, instead there was a small amount. Where? The walls of the house i was in, sitting on the couch watching the square glow, were a light shade of blue. The walls, even if it was just a pale blue, changed the greyness and bland of the place. I still had no control, that was all that changed.
Once again the door was knocked on, another sigh from me and my body pushed up. I-or at least me in dream, went up to the door, my vision went back to fading. It seemed to last a little longer this time, as when i reached for the handle i saw more than a hand.
Next was the arm.
_______________________________________________
Blinking a few times I find myself back into the world of iternal night, or at least I thought it was. After fully recovering from the transition I get back on my hooves((since i never seem to be on them here)) and look around once again, it didn't take me long to find the daughter of the night waiting for me.
"Hello once again Princess Luna" I say as i approach, going into a bow.
"Please stop the bowing Leaved Novel. If we are to see eachother every time thou have the vision the bowing will start to become old" Her reply puts me straight up, Luna now turns to face me, her eyes staring straight at me. That made me wonder how will this work out, i didn't know why i had to be "interupted" from the vision. I wondered how I would be able to keep my promise of not saying a word about it, as if this is just a friendly meeting, the two of us don't even know each other.
"I'm sorry Princess Luna, i should have thought of that"
"It is no matter. We are only surprised how long it took for another vision to come. We expect though that these visions will become more frequent. Now then, since we will be here a while, does thou have any questions for us?" Luna asks me, at first i would have said no, but there was on thing on my mind.
"Well, if i may ask. Why do you speak like that? With 'thou' and 'we' instead of you and I. If you don't mind answering i'd like an answer to that i guess" Luna takes a second to answer, I let her take her time. If she has to think about her answer why would I interupt?
"Hmm, well w-I guess it's because of I cling to the past, the last time...I...was fully living in equestria. It was in a time where this speech was normal, especially with me and my sister. I will say things have changed a lot from when this speech was usual" Luna answers my question, i took it maybe a little to seriously then i should have.
Right away one question i asked was able to change the rest of the time with luna from her acknowledging hereself as we to I . For the rest of the night she still used thou but changed, that told me something. She was more than a Princess, she was actually a pony, not just a figure of the night. She showed that she can change right in front of a pony, even talking about it. I noticed that i decided to act like she was of too high of a class for me, like everything she did I had to agree to, weakening myself because of it.
After I took my leave from the world of night i decided i wouldn't talk to her like a Princess, Luna was to stay with me every time there was that vision, She had to go and take her time to go and interupt the vision. I don't understand why but i will not question that, even though i would treat Luna like a friend if this was decided by the two princess sisters, i will most definitely listen...

Ok so also feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. I haven't gotten any((except for one thank you Rainbowcooldash for the nice words :D )) so the people who favorited or just read it please give me you're full, and blunt, opinions. Critism and critiques are hugely appreciated. Also i skipped a month because i don't have a lot of time on my hands so i'm going to when Neal or Novel has a memory/dream. Sorry if you don't like that but then i would have made it WAY too long. Ok hopefully you liked the chapter :)
To the world of equestria
tick tock tick tock tick tock.
That is what I heard many times, the tick tock of a clock. Many times I anticipated when it dinged at lunch, when I could eat and chat with some co workers. Sadly right after go back to work, in the sea of cubicles where one just has to be my own. Though it wasn't like any other day was different, wake up, go to work, sleep. The only differences were what I watched and what I ate. I would help people on the other side of the line with they're televisions, since I worked for a tv company as customer support. I was good at it, but never liked it, I would mostly get older men and women who didn't understand how to turn it on or how to mute it, so it wasn't difficult at all.
About the only thing that really is different in my ever repeating life was a show on my day off, My little pony. To the average person it may seem creepy, preposterous, or gay(which isn't a problem in my book). Though even if many say the insults, many more will welcome me as a brony. I don't usually talk with many other bronies much, I only know one coworker that is a brony, I don't talk to him about my little pony much because of him being a closet brony. So when I see him we don't talk much. Though I love seeing the fanart and pmv's and so much more the fandom has to offer. So on my day off I always go online and see everything new in the fandom, maybe obsessively I don't know. I just enjoy seeing the ponies going on adventures and living in the thrill, it shows me another life I would take any day over my boring ways. So every saturday I do everything I enjoy as a brony, during season 2 I made an OC called Leaved Novel((Even now i'm so so on the name)), a supposed love interest for Twilight sparkle. It was until flashsentry came along, I pretty much changed a lot about Leaved Novel, though kept the name the same. He was a brown earth pony with a blank personality when season 4 started.
So I keep every saturday watching the show, every time wondering what my life would be if I was a pony in equestria, going on adventures with the mane 6 and talking to all the backround ponies....... wondering wouldn't be the word, more like I wished I was a pony in equestria, I wished and wished every time I watched since the show started.
All I did was wish.........
