The accepted theory, in science of course, is that humans, or any living being really, are made of “stardust”. Not going to get into the sciences of it, but I guess that could explain how I got here, & how I was found. Let’s start from the beginning…

My name is Thaddeus Quinn, I am an eight-teen year old male. I lived in B.C., Canada. Previously, I was paid to repair peoples phones and computers, now I'm paid to assist the Princesses on another world. I guess I should start at the beginninger beginning.

I was relaxing at home, if relaxing was refraining from tearing my hair out as I continued to die, over and over again. I finally gave up and quit, walking outside to calm down. It was the middle of the night, and no one was up, just me, myself, and I. I sat down on one of the chairs on the porch and stared upwards, unblinking. The stars were out, as per usual, the moon was as well. But I felt odd, more distant. Like my consciousness was leaving my body and going somewhere else. I looked down at my body, making sure I wasn't dying or anything, because I might be a bit upset. I looked upwards again and spotted what had thrown off my thoughts. A unidentified something was moving, rapidly. Generally I would have said satellite and left it at that, but it was moving too oddly to be a satellite. I chose to ignore it, looking out over the night sky, but everywhere I looked, the unidentified something was there, ruining my night.

I sighed as I gave up, deciding that whatever it was was plain annoying, and I had grown tired of it. I stood up to walk inside, looking back up to see that whatever it was was gone. I felt a sharp pain as something hit me in the back, causing me to collapse. As I was falling I attempted to turn to look at my attacker, only to find to my astonishment, nothing was there. A faint golden fleck was all that remained. I felt a surge, like electricity, and I passed out. The last thing I get to see, and it's a stupid gold sparkle, great.

My eyes opened in a flash, my heart racing from my dream, at least that's what I thought it was until I realized I had no idea where I was. The room I was currently seated in was a very large room, larger than the master bedroom in my parents house, which was quite large. The ceilings had to go up at least 7 meters. I glanced around, finding that my clothes were still on me, so I came to the conclusion I wasn't kidnapped and raped, just kidnapped. Even better. I stood up, reaching for where I had felt the pain in my back the previous night. There was nothing there, no scar, no scab, no evidence of anything. Still under the assumption I was kidnapped, I planned how I was going to escape. I found the door was unlocked, and there was no one outside. At this point I should have been concerned, if I was kidnapped, wouldn't they at least lock the door? The doors were also very large, going up 4 to 5 meters. I opened the door and went full Solid Snake, peeking around corners, hiding in plain sight in boxes... I lied, I actually got caught within the first 20 seconds, as I failed to look both ways as I crossed the hall. A guard spotted me and took me to their leader.

I had a growing suspicion that I was about to be probed. By very large aliens. Who were using clones shaped as ponies as guards, considering every single one of them looked like one another. The guard leading me was not letting up, constantly reminding me that if I tried anything funny, I could and would get a nice spear in between my vertebrae or ribs. Either one would be unhealthy, and might hurt.

We finally arrived at our destination a set of 2 very large doors, was it just me or did the hallway get taller? The two clones opened the door, announcing that a prisoner was found escaping. At this point I was very very concerned for my life and my butt. I did not feel like getting probed, and I wish they would just ask instead of forcing me. I had been in shackles the whole walk here, my arms felt weird from being behind my back for that long. The two guards who had escorted me here moved me to the centre of the room and shoved me roughly to the floor. Their leader gasped, apparently appalled that I was treated as I was. She demanded that the two guards remove my shackles and return to their posts. I moved away at first, not wanting a spear in between my shoulder blades.

After too long, the shackles fell off, getting caught by the unicorn guard. I rubbed my wrists, trying to get the indent of the shackles off. "I am Princess Celestia, Co-ruler of Equestria. And you are?"

I realized that I was being rude, and kneeled, looking at the ground. "I am Thaddeus Quinn." I responded. She stood up and walked towards me.

This is it, make it or break it I thought, as she stopped in front of me, raising her hoof. For my mind was still thinking I was going to be probed, I did everything I could to protect my butt. So I kissed her hoof. I heard her gasp in shock and a couple of the guards either gasp or chuckle at my naivety. I blushed, realizing that was just how she was standing, not a request for me to kiss her hoof. I wanted to move my knee that was holding me up and smash my face off the floor, maybe breaking it so that I could just forget about it.

"Rise, Thaddeus." Celestia spoke, breaking the awkward silence. I stood up, my head reaching the base of her horn. Speaking of her horn, it was sharp, which worried me, considering she could kill me in an instant if she stabbed me with it. Also she had wings, isn't it supposed to be one or the other, not both? Either way, Celestia cancelled her early morning court for a while to speak with me.

We were wandering throughout the halls, speaking of this and that. I answered everything as simply as I could.

"What are you?" She asked,

"Human." I responded.

Let's just say it was from years and years of family reunions. I felt no need to explain unless explicitly asked. We continued wandering the halls, turning this way and that, Celestia asking me questions, me responding as shortly as possible. The halls reminded me of the story of the Labyrinth in Greek mythology, how it was ever changing. My stomach rumbled, causing me to look away in embarrassment. I heard Celestia giggle, causing me to look back, wondering what was so funny.

"If you were hungry you could have just asked, Thaddeus."

I shrugged "I didn't realize I was hungry Princess."

She clicked her tongue, looking at me "How does one not know when they are hungry?"

I shrugged again "I guess it's from eating once and then snacking the rest of the day."

She looked at me, alarmed. "You only ate once a day?"

I sighed, knowing that I had to explain. "Yes, I only ate once a day. It's something left over from not eating around others, I did not particularly enjoy looking at other people eating, or people looking at me, but when your family is very close, it becomes hard to avoid that, so I stopped eating breakfast and lunch with the family, instead choosing to snack throughout the day in my room." She looked away. "But this doesn't mean I won't join your for breakfast, or lunch... I'm not sure what time it is." I looked down my watch, sighing as I realized it probably wasn't the correct time.

"It is 8:48 in the morning, Thaddeus." I looked down at my watch, surprised that it was in fact the correct time.

"Huh, that's odd." I mumbled, turning to Princess Celestia.

"So, how about that breakfast?" She said as she looked up at me. I smiled, gesturing down the hall with my arm,

"Lead the way, Princess." I said, turning to walk alongside her

Author's Note

Howdy.

Hope you all enjoy this, and it holds you for now. Unfortunately, the next update won't be for another month (<< I'm a lying bastard) or so, because finals and all. Also, I apologize for my poor writing skills. I've never written a story and published it, or even written a story that anyone else has seen, save teachers. Thanks for checking this out, and criticism would be helpful.

'Till next time,

William Quinn
