Who Your True Friends Are
Source Code
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen I came to, I was in another home. In fact, it appeared to be a condo of sorts. That's not the strange part, though. Since I did put my watch on before witnessing the second lightning bolt, I looked at my wrist to check the time, only I didn't see my wrist, rather I saw a hoof. I knew what this meant right away, but my mind wouldn't allow me to process this without seeing more evidence to my theory. I stood up, or at least tried to before going on my hands and feet, or hooves as it were, and walked into the bathroom. That's when I saw myself, or rather, my OC in the mirror. True to the theory I had devised upon waking up, I had become my OC, Source Code.
In any other circumstance, I would have loved being turned into a pony and sent to live in Equestria, but the way these events unfolded, it was nothing short of panic-inducing. I turned to my side, and saw that everything I had imagined about my OC's appearance had been correct. Same mane and tail style and color, the eyes were perfect, the coat color was spot-on, even the cutie mark was impressively similar. I was still wearing my watch, so the next thing I thought was whether I could use it to travel through time and across Equestria. I tapped on my watch, and true to my stories and RP experiences, my watch responded to me with a robotic voice, saying,
"Good morning, Source Code. What can I do for you?" It was mind-blowing what I had just realized. Not only did I look exactly like my OC, but even the name was the same. As soon as I could, I replied with a sheepish voice,
"Nothing right now, TATTHoW."
"That's quite alright. Let me know if you need anything." I tapped it again. It was almost too good to be true. I had literally become my OC. My next thought was that I had to have my glasses, hat and vest somewhere in this home. Just like in the human world, I couldn't see very well without my glasses, but luckily I saw some rectangular frames right at my hoof on the bathroom sink. I tried them on, and they were my exact prescription. As I held in my shock, I walked into the living room, and saw a dark blue vest and black cowboy hat hanging on a coat rack. I tried them on, and when I went back to the bathroom to look in the mirror, needless to say it was like looking into a picture of my OC from the human world. When I went into the kitchen to grab something to eat (I was hungry after all), I noticed a letter on the table, and it was addressed to Source Code from Las Pegasus. I was dumbfounded. I thought for sure that if this did ever happen I'd have at least one thing wrong about my OC, and with location being the only thing left, I thought I'd be in Ponyville, Manehattan, Fillydelphia or at least somewhere besides Las Pegasus. Anyway, I opened the letter, assuming it was intended for me, and inside was an invitation to the Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville, and it was signed by Princess Celestia. I figured that if I go there, maybe the Mane 6 would be able to answer my questions that I still had, like how did I get here, why am I here, or how do I get back?
I tapped on my watch again, and as I expected, it said,
"What is it, Source Code?"
"I'd like to go to Ponyville. Town Square."
"Very well then, just imagine the town square, tap on the blue button, and you'll be there." I did just that. I closed my eyes, thought about every instance of seeing Town Square in the show, pressed the button that popped up, and when I opened my eyes, there I was.
