An Interesting Morning

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

It seemed like a normal morning. I was about to find out that it wasn't. I was awake, but I didn't want to be. If only I could just get a little more sleep, but once I'm awake, there's no going back. I opened my eyes, and I find that I'm lying on the ground, looking up at the blue sky. I have no idea what I'm doing here. I rack my brain trying to remember something, anything from the previous night, that might explain why I'm here, but nothing comes to mind. In fact, I can't remember anything from yesterday. I seem to laying on something that isn't very comfortable. (besides grass) I sit up, and reach behind me, and I can't feel my fingers. I bring my hand around, and I decide that this must be some sort of LSD trip. Instead of a hand, there's a hoof. I feel my back again, and, sure enough- wings. So that's what I was laying on. I think this is the point at which I'm supposed to go crazy, and find me some mental help. Somehow, and I can't possibly fathom how, but somehow, I have woken up in Ponyville. As a pegasus, no less. I'm a brony, so, at the same time as it is mind-blowingly awesome, my mind is just shutting down from shit not making sense. LSD trip or not, I'm a pony. I should probably get used to walking around on all fours. Now that that's outta the way, I gotta figure out where the hell I am. Suddenly, quite from nowhere a pegasus pony comes out of nowhere and comes speeding at me.
"What the-", is all I have time to yell, because I am tackled and pinned down by Rainbow Dash.

"Oh, uh, hello. I thought you were someone else.", she said, getting off me.

"Well, I don't know who you mistook me for, but I'm...", here I thought that maybe my name would be a little weird, so I decided to use my OC's name instead. "...Cobalt Night", I said, offering a hoof.

"Cobalt Night, huh? Are you new around here? Name's Rainbow Dash, by the way. I haven't seen you around here.", she said, shaking my hoof.

"Actually, it's a long story, that.", I said, sitting down. As she sat down beside me, I told her my story, not that there's much to tell, but I told it.

"So, you have absolutely no idea how you got here?", she asked, confused. "No idea.", I confirmed. I still really had no idea, why I was here, or, more importantly, how it's even possible for me to be here. "This sounds like magic, some sort of magic that only my friend Twilight would know."

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go figure out who decided to mess around with my morning.", I said, eager to get out of here.

"I didn't want to rush you, you wouldn't be able to keep up with me. I am the best flyer in all of Equestria, you know."
Don't say anything, don't say anything! I thought to myself.

While we flew to Twilight's library, Rainbow told me about how a portal had opened up between Earth and Equestria.

"Maybe it has something do with why you're here.", she suggested.

"I don't think so. I can't remember a thing from yesterday. Also, I kind of just... appeared here, but other ponies and people came out of the portal, according to your story, so that can't be it."

"Right..."

We flew until we reached Twilight's treehouse. I stood there for a moment, admiring it.
"It's smaller than I expected.", I observed. It was smaller than I had imagined. I had expected it to be this big, hulking mass of a tree, but it's just about the same size as any of the other trees.

"Ha ha, just wait 'til you see how many books are inside it."

We went up to the front door, and Rainbow knocked. Almost instantly, the door opened, seemingly on it's own.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash. Who's your friend?", said a voice.

I looked down, and I saw who had opened the door. It was Spike, Twilight's... erm- assistant.

"Oh, him? He's...", she scratched her head. "Uh, what was your name again?"

"Cobalt Night", I said, looking at Spike. "And I'm lost, I have no idea why I'm here, and Rainbow Dash thinks Twilight can help."

"Right, what he said", said Rainbow Dash, going inside.

"Okay, then, Cobalt. I'll go get Twilight and then we'll try to sort out your little problem", said Spike as he went to fetch Twilight.

As I waited, I noticed the large number of books. I mean, from watching the show, I knew she read a lot of books, but seeing it in person is a completely different thing.

"I think you were right about the books.", I laughed, taking in the sheer number of books.

"What did I tell you? Twilight is Queen of the Eggheads."

"But, Rainbow Dash, I thought you liked reading now?", said Twilight, as she came down the steps.

"Uhh, I do. But only the Daring Do series, because they're cool, and Daring Do is awesome and brave and fearless, just like me!", she said, flying into the air as she said so.

"So, is this Cobalt Night?", Twilight asked.

"Yeah, that's me.", I said.

"My name is Twilight Spark-", she stopped rather abruptly, and got a good look at me.

"What? What're you staring at me for?", for she was now staring at me.

"It's you. You're here."
