My Second chance

Helix

Nothing. That’s all I found, when I died. I couldn’t believe it. I had been Christian before it happened, before I got hit by that truck. The one thing I expected to feel was pain. Pain at the truck hitting me, pain at the glass shard in my chest, pain at the fact knew I was about to die. All I felt was happiness. My life was terrible. I was in massive debt, my wife was being dragged down with me, and my kids hated me. I was alone but I knew that my death would bring them relief. My job may have sucked but it had a damn good health plan. I was leaving knowing my family would be set for life, or at least they wouldn’t have to deal with my debt anymore.

About a year or so before it happened, I became a brony! I never thought it would happen! I had so much prejudice against other bronies for years. I hated them so much I didn’t want to even talk to them, like so many others. The day before I “turned” my best friend told me he was a brony and wanted to watch a marathon of ever episode from the 4th generation, the only one he liked for some reason, and I was so dumbfounded he took it as a yes. Not wanting to tell my life long friend I didn’t want to watch, I decided to finally give it a chance.

The next night I watched every episode with him. When I woke up, I knew I had “turned”. I hated them for so long, and all I felt was guilty for yelling at them all the time. I became a huge fan, my favorite pony, Twilight Sparkle. She was an egghead, just like I was. Both of us loved to read and we were both fascinated by magic, even if only one of us could use it. After that first night I wanted nothing more than to be a unicorn in the MLP universe.

After a couple of minutes of my death I saw a blinding white light. I was so happy. I knew there was a god, and I was going to heaven. But something was off. I felt……weird. What was weird is that I actually felt something. I always thought when you died you would feel nothing if you went to heaven, nothing but joy. I, however, was feeling……dizzy, tired, and above all light headed. I was certain I was going to throw up. Thankfully, I didn’t, other wise the next thing probably would have been a lot different.

“Uuuuuugh.”

I couldn’t tell what it was but I defiantly felt different. I got on all fours trying not to puke when I realized, my arms and legs where the same length! Being a biology major in collage, and being alive my entire life, I knew for a fact my legs were longer than my arms. Being blinded by whatever the hell just happened, I just began to see. And what I saw freaked me the hell out. I swear I heard glass shatter. What I saw was two, red……..hooves. Not the every day hoof like you’d see on a ranch, no these were MLP hooves. Panicked, I started to look around. I notice I was in a library but nothing else, not the number of scrolls on the floor, or the fact that I was the inside of a tree. But, when I turned around, I noticed her. I knew for a fact that it wasn’t possible. She was just a cartoon character, there’s no way I could be HERE. Here in Equestria.

“Uh…..hi,” I said. That’s all I could say, my mind was racing trying to process what the hell was going on.

“Hi”

“Twu…Twilight?

“Yes?” she said, rather scared I might add.

After that I was once again embraced by the nothingness. Obviously I passed out, the odd mixture of joy and panic gave a sensory overload, and, in turn, made me faint. While I was out I could still think. The one thing on my mind, How? How am I here? How am I still alive? And, more importantly, how the fucking hell did I end up in her house? I could understand in the middle of town, or even the middle of Canterlot castle. But why here? Here in the one place I actually wanted to end up if I fell into this place. It was unthinkable, yet I was still happy.

One Hour Later

When I awoke, I was in a bed. I thought I was in a cloud, Honestly, I thought I was falling and gonna die again! In my ridiculous panic I shot up, giving my self the worst headache I ever had.

“Oh, you’re awake.”

I knew that voice; it was the voice of my favorite pony.

“Yeah, and I have a splitting headache. Could a get a glass of water?”

Opening my eyes I saw a glass float over to me, but I failed to see Twilight. Thinking she wasn’t around I dove for the glass and just barely grabbed it in my mouth. I chugged it like I just ate a mouthful of Pinkie’s hot sauce covered cupcakes.

“Heh, you sure were thirsty!”

When I heard that I was about twelve feet in the air.

“SPIKE, don’t scare him like that. You nearly gave him a heart attack!” As she said that she came around to the front of the bed and I could see she was pretty angry with the tiny purple dragon.

“Oh come on Twi, I can’t be that scary.”

“He’s right, I was just startled.” I don’t know why I was defending him, but I felt I needed to.

“That’s no excuse for what he did. Spike, go organize the section of books that got thrown around when he teleported in.” Twilight lectured turning her head slightly to point with her horn at the books that littered the floor.

“Fine.” He grumbled in a rather disgruntled tone of voice and marched off twitching his tail behind him.

“So, how are you feeling? I hope he didn’t scare you too badly.” She smiled gently blowing part of her mane out of her eyes.

“No, I'm okay. Thank you though.” I mumbled trying hard not to think of how beautiful she was.

“Hey, I was wondering, how did you know who I was? I’ve never seen you before.” She questioned stepping closer to me.

“That’s a long story, and I'm sure you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you. Even I don’t believe it.” I mumbled the last part to myself.

“Okay, well how did you get here?” she smiled.

“Actually I was hoping you could tell me that. And, if you would be so kind at what species of pony I am?” I asked and she did a face hoof.

“Well you’re a unicorn like me. Duh.”

No way. I looked up and I couldn’t believe it! She was right! Cutting my brown mane on my crown was a horn. I became the pony I wanted to be, a red unicorn stallion with a brown mane. I was slightly more muscular than I would have expected. I didn’t look like the scrawny man once was. When I was human I was about six feet tall and about a one hundred sixty. Now I was about four feet tall. I didn’t know how much I weighed but if I had to guess, I would say about two hundred pounds. If I was like my OC then I also had blue eyes in place of my hazel ones.

I was overjoyed that I was a unicorn, but I couldn’t revel in my victory, I had to figure out how much, exactly, am I like the character I thought up. Moving the blanket and looking at my flank I saw just what I wanted, a golden infinity symbol. This was shaping up to be the best accident that ever happened to me! Then I remembered. I COULDN’T USE MAGIC.
