My Second chance

The next morning I was woken up to eight mares and a dragon staring at me intently. Seeing them right when I woke up scared the crap out of me. I jumped up into the air and felt like I almost wet my pants…that is…if I wore pants in the first place.

“Hey, why are in here and not in the living room. You scared me.”

“You’re the one who sacred our friend.” The voice was none other than the element of loyalty, Rainbow Dash. She hovered an inch over my face with a look of utter disgust. I could tell she didn’t like me.

“How much do you know of me, Rainbow? How much did Twilight tell you all?”

“Well she said ya came from nowhere, said your name was Helix, and that she took ya on as an apprentice. Oh, and she said ya know all of us. How is that possible?” The element of honesty, Applejack interjected this time. Her tone was less stern and more curious.

“Well, she obviously didn’t tell you all she knew about me. My name is helix, as Twilight said. The reason I know you all is that I’m from a different dimension. In that dimension this world is just a story. Used to teach morals to who you’d call fillies.”

“Then how do you know us. You’re a colt. That story was for girls.” Rarity could tell I was hiding something but I was to smart to get outwitted by a dress maker.

“Hey, I had friends who were girls, and if I want to hang out with them Im stuck watching what they want to watch.”

“Hey has a fair point”

At that point I realized how rude I had been I the presence of the princesses. Remembering my manners I bowed my head and apologized.

“I’m very sorry your highnesses. I forgot you were their, but that is no excuse for how I acted. Please forgive me.”

Some of them were astounded by my humility. Others were indifferent, but the element of kindness was just ecstatic.

“Wow, he’s so kind. I didn’t think an otherworlder would have so much curtsy.’ She obviously forgot her timid nature for a second.

“Um… Fluttershy. When did you get so talkative?” After I spoke I instantly regretted my decision. She squeaked so loud everypony went silent.

“Oh god, im sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. If it makes you feel any better, I would gladly help you with your animals as an apology. I love working with animals. It was my job before I came here.” I rambled on and on and hearing about my job seemed make her a bit happier. The words from her friends helped to.

“I would love some help. Sometimes the animals just run amok and I have to use ‘The Stair’.”

“Well when I can walk and use my magic to some extent, the first thing I’ll do is come over to help, if that’s okay with you that is.” Her face made a huge smile with that.

“I would love that; just give me a couple days to prepare.” Right after she finished talking, Pinkie jumped right on to my lap. IT HURT.

“OWWWWWWWWWWWW!’ I yelled

“Pinkie, don’t do that! He must still be sore from crashing into Twilight’s floor!” Applejack lectured.

“Sorry, I just wanted to tell you that im going to throw the biggest bestest welcome party you ever had.” She smiled jumping up and down and up and down and up and down AND UP AND DOWN ON MY CROTCH.

“Well I wouldn’t expect anything less from the greatest party pony.” I said holding my crotch in pain. Hearing my complement she gave a little blush.

“Aww thanks, I didn’t know you knew that much.”

“Yes, how much do you know exactly?” The princess of the night interrupted. The tone of her voice was impatient. I can tell she wanted answers now.

“Okay, since your all here, I will tell you what I know. But, you must know I’ll keep some secrets of my knowledge. Some things could not have happened yet.”

I told them almost everything I knew about their world. I didn’t tell them I was a brony, or what a brony was. I asked a couple of questions of my own and figured out I was about a month or so from the Canterlot wedding. I didn’t tell them anything of what was to come. I did, however, ask for a quill and parchment. When I got it I used my magic to pick them up! I did it subconsciously! I was a little freaked but was ultimately happy. I knew at least something.

“I thought you couldn’t use magic?” The sound of Twilight’s voice was of disbelief.

“I didn’t think I could! I’ve never done this before. In fact im a little freaked out. What do I do?”

“Okay first calm down. Then, once you’ve done that, simply think of what you want each thing to do. If you concentrate, it will happen.” I was surprised to hear Celestia’s voice in my panic. Doing as she said, I started to write a letter to the future twilight.

In the letter I described all I knew about the wedding, who was getting married, the different jobs they would have, and of the changelings. After I had finished the letter, of which none of them had read yet, I folded it carefully and asked for an envelope.

“Whose tha’ letter for?” Applejack asked. By that time it was already in the envelope and sealed it.

“The letter is for twilight. I don’t want it read until I know it is of relevance.”

“What’s it say?”

“Applejack, if I told you two things could happen, completely ruin the future, or you would all become insane.” The tine of my voice couldn’t be more serious. I didn’t want any of them to touch the letter. ESPECIALY the princesses.

“What could be so bad? Besides being insane sounds fun!” The pink mare of laughter had a huge smile. If she wasn’t pinkie pie, I would have thought her idiotic.

“Pinkie you’re already insane. Anyway, this letter holds secrets of the future of Equestria. I didn’t tell you everything I knew because I didn’t want to destroy this paradise.”

“Wait, ya didn’t tell us what could destroy us? Ya put us in danger? Ya lied to us!” The amount of anger on AJ’s face was unfathomable. I could tell her honesty couldn’t take my lies.

“Applejack, I lied a LOT when I was younger. I actually haven’t lied in fifteen years. The only reason I lied was to protect the one place I would rather be than my own home.”

The entire time I spoke, I was looking at the bed sheets. My shame was obvious. Seeing my sullen face, hers softened. She could tell I was speaking from I heart.

“Ah’m sorry pal. Ah didn’t know ya wanted to protect this world. Was yours really tha’ bad?” I could tell she was worried.

“AJ, I would rather not talk about it yet. Maybe when Pinkie’s done with the party, and I have had a couple of lessons to control my magic, then I will think about telling you girls, and spike.”

“Thank you for not calling me a girl.” He had the funniest look of relief.

“Helix, I would like to know why you asked Twilight to teach you magic. I would gladly teach you my self.” Coming from the sun goddess, this was a huge surprise.

“Thank you Celestia, but I would rather Twilight teach me. She was the one who took me in as a roommate, and I trust her with my life. I hope she will help me get accustomed to the traditions around here.” At the time I didn’t realize the blush on twilights face.

“That’s very noble of you. Now, if you will excuse us me and my sister have some royal duties to attend to.”

“Celestia, Luna, I hope you have an amazing day. Thank you for not showing any hostility towards me.”

“You seem like a very trustworthy pony Helix. Good luck with Twilight. She can be a very……. odd at times.”

“Hey!” Twilight tried to interject, but no one paid attention.

“I will be careful Luna. Thank you.” With one last bow of my head, they flashed out to the castle.
