//-------------------------------------------------------// Nightfall. -by Poopl33t- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: Home Alone. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: Home Alone. Hello, my name is Zack Culking(What a weird name, am I right?) and I am 25 years old. I have got a nice little house with two storeys. I don't have a car, I usually take a walk in the city to do my job because it is not so far away. Why you might ask...Well, because every city has got a Burget King. Mhm. I know I know...Working in that place is trash. BUT! ...I would do anything for money and well, let's just say those guys gave me a decent amount of money. Oh yeah. And the boss was a cool guy, he'll always be one. Love you boss. (No homo) My parents have died in an airplane crash. My mom was going to Paris for a modelling conference. My father was taking a trip to Paris in the same plane with my mom, he wanted to visit our uncle, Joe. Theeeen.         The             Plane                   Crashed. Yup, I was pretty much done with when I have heard that on the news. I didn't have many friends nor did I have grandparents since they died a long time ago. I didn't even have a girlfriend for christ's sake! I was the kind of guy with nobody in his life. Soo....5 Years ago, I was cuddling with Princess Luna, yep, you heard that. Princess Luna. On the couch in my living room, watching South Park, and noooooooow. I am here with nothing else than my two hands strapped tightly and a horrible bed. ================================= 5 Years Ago ================================= "Christ, when will those guys ever learn to stop bothering me!" I yell as soon as I walk down the street towards my house. All I wanted now was to slouch on my bed and let the sleep take me away. My co-workers are assholes to me all the time. All they would do is either lock me in the freezer or tour water on my head, laughing their ass off after I was going back home. I reach to my pocket and search for my keys. Nothing. I look down and I realise I dropped the keys in the mud while I was trying to take them out. "Oh come on." I said then I knelt down to reach the dirty keys, wich were covered in mud. As soon as I opened the door, I tossed my jacket on the couch then took off my shoes and started heading upstairs to the bathroom. I don't have anything to say about my house, it looks pretty similar to CJ's house(Except the furniture, wich I got myself), that guy from Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas, it has got a kitchen, a bathroom, one guest room, my room, and the the living room wich has got a big couch and a big-ass plasma TV. With a PS3 that has LOTS of games on it, such as Bioshock: Infinite, GTA V, Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, etcetera. I quickly got myself butt-naked in the bathtub and turned on the water. "Aaahhh....." I said after grabbing the shower gel and started to wash my body. Do you know that feel when the cold gel is all over you? It sucks. Do you know that feel when the water takes 5 minutes to warm up, and then from time to time it gets REALLY F**KING COLD AGAIN? Well that f**king sucks. ...All the feels... ...I grab the shampoo and start to wash my hair.... ~THUMP~ "What was that? Eh, probably nothing, just the water splashing." I turn off the water and get a towel. I turn off the light from the bathroom and head to my room. I open the door, close it after me and jump on the bed. Total darkness. My room is some sort of a hybrid: A rocket room combined with a hip-Just kidding, it's just a normal room, with a big single bed and a bookshelf, etcetera. All the good stuff, especially the computer...The computerr.... Today was the second shittiest day of my life. First, I wake up with an annoying headache. Second, I slip on the bathroom floor while I try to brush my teeth and then I thud on my back...And third, a kiddo has thrown his hamburger at me, the feel of ketchup and mayonesse...and lots of embarrassment...That feel.... I cover myself in the blanket and suddenly... "Waaaaaaaaa...." A girl crying, inside the house. My house. Is this a dream? If so, what kind. The sound is clearly coming from my kitchen. I quickly burst through the door and head downstairs, towards the kitchen. My heartbeat stops for a second as I stand there, staring at... "Princess...Luna?" I ask in a stunned tone. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: Sorting Out. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: Sorting Out. "Princess...Luna?" I said in a low and dizzied tone. She slowly turned her head to her right, wiped the tears off her eyes and opened them. Her face screamed the words "Despair" and "Fear".... - NOW WA-WA-WAIT A SECOND....I am not, a brony. You see, after my parents died in that horrible plane crash, you have me on my desk, searching the interwebs about the plane crash, an advertism about a show called 'My Little Pony' randomly popped up and I clicked it since I wanted to be a graphic designer and maybe I could find the name of the creators of the show, since, from what was shown in the advertisment, the show has been designed pretty neatly. So, long story short, I watched the show find out more about it and...I liked it. It bringed a feeling that I have not felt in a long time....  Joy. - Luna was there. On the floor. In my kitchen. Trying not to cry. "Please...Don't hurt me..." She said making a tiny little pause every now and then, probably from the shock she has been through. I could see lots of tears on those cheeks. At this moment I am shocked, I wonder what is this, can it be real...No, it can't be. I slap myself to see if I am awake. Yup,        Awake. Well, this could not have been better. I sigh, close my eyes, and tell her: "You don't need to be scared, miss. Trust me, I would never hurt you or anyone like you. Hell, I would not even hurt a fly." She says: "I...I am sorry for breaking into your home, but I was scared and I didn't know where to go an-" I open my eyes and cut her mid sentence. "It's alright, we all do stuff when we are scared. Come, sit on the couch." I spoke as I walked over to her and gently offered my hand. She blushes and accepts it. She gets up and I walk her to the couch where you would find us sitting for the next half an hour. She explains me what happend.                                               Celestia banished her. "So...um...What are you exactly?" She asked shyly, looking at me curiously. "I'm a human, I don't expect you to understand..." I say after getting cut by her saying: " 'Trust me', I will." A pink hue could be seen on my face...I blushed. "Eh, I guess. So! Let's start over." I rose up from the couch and started making funny gestures with my hands as I explained to her the whole human nature, who we are, and where we are. "So! Humans." I said loudly, she stood back and watched in excitement. "Who we are you might wonder.... Well 'we', 'Homo Sapiens', that means humans by the way....Are the last of the hominids, a branch of great apes. "Wait, what's an a-" She said before getting cutted off by me. "What are apes you might ask?...WELL, imagine me with hair all over. And a tail....And long arms. "Oh." She'd chuckle at the thought. "Anyways, back to us, humans. We are characterized by our posture and bipedal locomotion, that means by stand on two legs posture, we walk on two legs too! Isn't that wonderful? Anyways. We can use tools and we have a general more complex brains. We have reached this stage in around... 250,000 years ago. We are distinguished by our complex social structures, that means...Famillies, etcetera. Anyways, enough with that, I'll tell you more 'bout it later." I smile. "That.....how much is there to say about your species?" She said shuttering. "Well, about ten books." "W-" I cut her mid sentence again. "WHERE. WE. ARE!" I spoke as I gesticulated for her to say something. "I...don't know." She said. "Well, on a tiny planet called Earth. What is a planet you may ask? Well, think of it as a big ball floating through the nothingness, and we are a part of it, we are tiny and this 'ball' is soo big it can hold lots of 'us', and we are 'stuck' on it, mkay? Mkay. So. 'Earth' is third planet from the Sun. What is the sun? A star that gives our 'balls' heat. There are soo many things to see here, on Earth, mountains, waterfalls, jungles, lots of 'stuff'. I'll get on to it with more details later. Don't worry about it, that's the basic you need to know." "The human nature. Just think about you ponies and add dark things to it...Ta-Dah! You got us." "What 'dark' thi-Wait. How do you know who I am and where I come from." She said in a surprised tone. "I forgot to ask you that." I walk over to her and whisper: "I'll tell you everything at the right time. 'Trust me'....Anyways, hungry?" She stares at her belly for a couple of seconds until a growl comes out and she finally says: "Yes..." A snack later. I. Am. Sooo. Tired. "Well, that took some time." I said in a tired tone. "Yes, indeed." She chuckled. "Well, I can see you're tired young one, so I'll leave you for the night." "Wait, you can sleep on my bed, I will sleep on the couch." She suddenly looks up at me and reluctantly says: "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Why would you do that." She asks curiously. "Because I want to." I lead her to my bedroom, gently place her on the bed, put the blanket over her and tiptoe my way out, turning off the lights after. "Good night, sleep tight." I whispered, standing in the door. "Mmmm." She said, turning around and letting the sleep take over her to magical lands. I close the door and walk downstairs, grab a blanket and a pillow then slouch on the cou- \\\\\\\\\ **DoN'T* fUck thiS Up.* \\\\\\\\\ What was that... //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: Human. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: Human. As I woke up and opened my eyes I had this thought that immediately came into my mind: "Luna. " ..Wait, what happend last night. I quickly stood up and found myself on my couch. "Luna being here is too perfect. It can NOT be true.." "Maybe it was just a dream." I faintly whispered. .   .     . I randomly turn my head to my right and see something blue. It has hooves and a long hair. "What were you dreaming about?" She spoke. "Huh" I lift my head up and stare her into the eyes. "Oh, hi. Nothing really, don't worry about it." "Mkay." She spoke...We were inches away from one another, after a few seconds of standing like that we both suddenly blushed and turned around. ....Awkward silence.... "So." I broke the silence. She turned around to stare at me. "Hungry?" I stood up and walked over to the kitchen. I could take a peek at her with the corner of my eye, she was looking at me before her stomach growled. I chuckled. "I am wondering...what do humans eat?" She asked with an afraid and dizzied look. Shit. "Well, humans eat plants, fruits, animals...BUT WA-WA-WA-WAIT a second. I am vegetarian. So don't worry. Don't. Worry." I said. "..." She gulped I opened the fridge and picked up two apples from it. "See? Fruits." I walked over to her, kneeled and handed her one apple. She looked into my eyes before picking it up with her magic. I sit down next to her and we both started to 'devour' the apple. .   .     . "So...You have not told me your name." She said, taking a bite from her apple. "It's Zack." I said. Zack is my name, playing with ponies is my game. "Ah, nice to meet you, Zack...So...do you live with someone or do you live by yourself." She asked curiously. "I...I don't want to talk about it." I stated after taking a bite from my apple, thinking about my parents hurted me. So after the plane crash I have decided to act like I never had any. It was just too much. I am pretty sensible when it comes to family. "Yes, I live here by myself. I don't have anyone, no friends, no relatives, no family." I said. "I am sorry for asking you about this seemingly sensible subject...I think it must be pretty hard, living here, alone...By yourself. Nobody helping you nor talking to you." She spoke in such a sad manner that I almost started forming tears. I think it was getting contagious since she did the same. Tears. "I'm sorry for bringing this up, Zack." "It's alright, no harm done." I glanced at her and smiled afterwards. She looked back at me, a wide smile forming on her face. .   .     . "I was wondering, is there magic in this world? Or is there any other pony living here?" She spoke. "There is no magic in this world, only illusions and tricks. And yes, there are ponies here, but they can't talk nor can they do brilliant stuff like you lot do." "Nor do they have wings or horns." I spoke whilst staring in one spot.  She slightly blushed a little when I indirectly called her 'smart'. I chuckled. .   .     . "Could you tell me what is that big black box over there?" She said, staring at the TV. I got up, landed her a hand, and walked her towards the TV where I told her to stand back just a little bit. I turned the TV on and watched her face. "Well, this box is called Television. It receives signal from studios that record films, news, all things like that. Whilst looking through it we can see stuff without actually being there, this box was made for entertainment. It's actually way more complicated than that but that's the definition of this..'box'." I explained. She was amazed by how it all works. Such Complicated. Much Amaze. Wow. "It's amazing, it sounds like a spell we, alicorns use. I use it to see what's going on on a radius of 2 Miles." She said before smiling at me. "Well, I guess that if I ever try to run away from her I am fucked." "I'll go get some more food from the store. Will you be alright here, alone?" Hah, fatty. Fuck off mind. "Can I come with you?" She asked in a happy and curious manner. "I don't think humans would be pleased to see a midnight blue pony walking down the streets." I stated. "I know a spell that could transform me into any species, pretty much like a changeling." I gave her an confussed look when she said 'changeling'. I did not want her to know that she's a TV character. That would freak her out. Or just amaze her even more. "Just watch this."  She said before a blue light started to surround her, making some sort of 'Cocoon' around her, probably for protection or for 'special effects'. The transformation was pretty unexpected and fast, the cocoon broke almost instantly and the new 'Human Luna' walked out. She had long dark hair, blue eyes, some tiny tatoos on her face aaandddd.... "You are...naked." I spoke before quickly turning away and had a terrible nose bleed. "But ponies are always naked, we wear clothes on special occassions only." She said in a confussed tone. "Here, on Earth, being naked in front of people is considered a taboo." I spoke awkwardly. "Could you put some clothes on?" "Sure." She said as magic surrounded and BOOM. She was fully dressed in under 10 seconds. "Are you done?" I said awkwardly. "Yep. Let's goowwww~" She said with a devilish tone. We both walked out of the door, it was a rainy day. We both started to shiver. "Here." I handed her over my jacket. "For the cold." She smiled and said "Thank you." I chuckled then grabbed her by the hand and we both started walking towards the grocery store. I think that my whole life has just changed.   And if it has not....      It will. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: Root. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: Root. "So, as I was saying. Me and Luna walked around the streets of the city, she kept asking questions about soo many things. It was pretty annoying but still cute, ain't that right, Bob?" I stated whilst looking towards Bob, I was boring him. Bob was my only friend in this dungeon prison cell, he or maybe she is a lifeless pony skelly that seems to have been put in chains a LOOONGGG time ago. Sometimes, I imagine him talking to me, and we talk about lots of stuff, he's my imaginary friend. He helps me out. Anyways, I made him because I was bored. All you do here is sleep and eat. I am still thinking of what Luna is doing right now. "She's going to die Zack, just because of you and oownly you." Joe said as he turned his head at me. "You'll be next, Zack." He smiled devilishly. "Liar liar pants on fire. Shut up Bob." I said. Don't mind Bob, he's just a faggot. So...You're asking how I got here. Well.... I was intrerupted by a sudden noise coming from door. The door blasted open, revealing two buttstallion guards maching towards me with such emotionless faces. Great. Both of them wearing golden armor, or, well, I think it's gold. One of them was a Pegasus and one a Unicorn. "Your fate has been chosen, ape. Come with us!" They said in a serious tone. I suddenly found myself free of the chains. Then felt down to my knees. "Now wa-wa-wait just a second. How do you guys get along one with eachother. Y'know, you're a pegasi...he's a unicorn..Or she's. I dunno." I said whilst rubbing my wrist. "Dayum, those chains hurt." "You have the right to remain silent, Ape." Oh, this is how it is going to be isn't it...Same rules all over. "Erm, guys, I haven't finished my story, so be pacient." I stated. One of the guards, the pegasus picked me up from the ground and said: "Pacience is a luxury we can't afford. Princess Celestia is waiting, come." The second came in and they both pushed me out of the cell. "Well, I guess I can tell it whilst we are walking towards the throne room. You can be my spectators."  I said as I kept walking, my arms crossed. Ahem. =================| Walkin' with Luna. =================| Luna was there, holding my hand. I could die of a heart attack right now. "So, Zack, I have been wondering, how do you know my name, now that you say that there is nopony from Equestria here, on these lands." She asked. I sighed. I knew it was going to come to this. "It's a long story. I'll tell you 'bout it when we get home." "Alrighty. So, where are we going now?" She asked. Thank god she changed the subject. "Well, we first go to a grocery store called Walmart to grab some food, then I'll pay the bills for electricity." I said as we reached a corner and we took it, I could see Walmart in the distance. While we were walking, Luna was telling me about Equestria and their races and their history, there were some creatures that did not appear in the show. I started wondering right there, for the moment, is the runner of the show a pony. I have been wondering this, did he or she came on this world in around the same circumstances as Luna, probably. "A'ight so here it is." I cut her mid-sentence and went through the doors with her. It's friday friday gotta get down on friday...Since...People? There were lots of people. Yep, definitely Friday. I grabbed a cart and started gathering 'ze' food. . .   . After I have managed to finish doing that I headed towards the cashier...                                                                                                         Only to be crashed into by another man and his cart. The guy who crashed into me was pretty angry. "Dude, what's your problem?" He yelled. He was pretty tall, he had short dark hair, some tatoos on his left arm and blue eyes. "You what mate? You came out of nowhere AND YOU! Crashed into me. Anyways, I'll help you gather the stuff that fell on the ground, don't worry. Jeez." I said in a chilled tone. The guy randomly scratched the back of his head and said. "Yeah I guess you're right, sorry mate. Anyways, thanks for helping me." Luna smiled at me and I smiled back at her. . .   . After we finish helping him and he finishes his stuff we wave goodbye to him. After we were done shopping we went to pay the bills. With the shopping bags in my hands, it was pretty hard. The trip was quiet, Luna was quiet. .   .     . After we were done with all that we went back to my house. .   .     . Luna changed back to her original form whilst I was putting the bags on the kitchen counter. . .   . At that moment, when we were on the couch. I asked the stupidest question ever. "So, Luna...Could you tell me how did you get here?" I glanced at her. "Well...." She started the story-telling. ==========| Short Flashback ==========| "Sister, please. Don't do this to me. PLEASE!" Luna screamed on top of her lungs at Celestia. Apparently Celestia did not want to see her again. Her own. Sister. Luna and Celestia were screaming at eachother in the Throne Room. "No. Luna. I don't want to hear anything from you. My choice is clear. I don't want to EVER see you again. Not for what you have done(not for what you have become)." Luna fell to the ground as Celestia walked to her throne and sat on it. A tear drop. A flash. Luna found herself in a new strange place. She remembered what her sister said. "I don't want to EVER see you again." ==========| Present(?) ==========| Luna was stuttering in her words. "I know what you must be going through, the feel that you MIGHT not see her again...you know...about my family. They died in a plane crash. I wasn't even there with them. My last words to my Mother was...I hate you. You know, at least your sister did not die. Be aware of that. I promise you'll get the chance to speak to her again and everything will be fine, I am sure of it. Anyways, until then, you can stay here for as long as you'd like. I am not complaining, I enjoy your company." I said, looking into her blue eyes. Tears forming in my eyes. "Thanks...Zack, you don't know how much I appreciate what you have done for me...." She said, smiling at me, and in the end, hugging me. It was soo soft. He fur brushing against my neck. I could feel her breathing. Anyways, after we stayed in that position for quite a while I noticed the sun was setting. What. The. Hell. Around two minutes ago, it was noon. And by looking at the cock it was 8 P.M. Really. Who's playing with the sun?.... Oh.... Ohhhh....           No. Don't answer. God damn it. "I'm tired. Aren't you?" I asked. "Yes. I am." She said as she backed off. "You can go get some sleep, I'll be here, on the couch." "Okay, good night." "Good night."
