It is the year 1944, and I am Scott, I am fighting for America in World War II, I have with here my M1 Carbine, M1911, Three Mk 2 grenades and my trusty M3 trench knife, it saved my life numerous times, that knife is the reason i'm here telling you this story, the story of how I got transported into Equestria.
It all started on a normal day, I was firing my rifle and the battlefield was like hell! If there is one thing I can’t stand is chaos, and there was plenty of it there, bullets flying everywhere, ten grenades every square inch, it was like hell, but way more deadly, if you stood still for more than two seconds, you're dead for certain, no question about it.
Well, getting back on track, I was firing my rifle and one of the Nazi soldier hit me right in the arm, the left one to be exact, and it hurt a LOT, I was feeling very dizzy and I suddenly saw a lot of flashing colors, and the I passed out, probably for the shock of the bullet but don't quote me on that.
Then I woke up in a house, I was in a sofa of some sorts, and the house was very strangely designed, and my vision was kinda blurry, My arm was bandaged, thank god, I would have probably died from blood loss by now, but where's my stuff, all my weapons are gone, except for my Knife, at least I still could defend myself, but I also had a really, but reeeeeeeeally bad headache, it was like six hammers smashing my head all at once.
My vision started clearing up, so I got up from the couch and I saw two... saw two... ummm... horses? No, that's too tiny for a horse, it looks like something out of a technicolor, it's yellow with pink hair and there are three butterflies on its ass, and there is another one with yellow hair and orange fur, three apples on its ass and is wearing a hat, what?
‘I must have knocked my head hard when I passed out’ I thought ‘I might even still be passed out!’
But that thought was completely ruled out as I felt a very sharp pain come from the bullet hole on my arm.
“Ack!” I said, sitting back on the couch as I did so.
“Oh my, are you ok?” Said the yellow pony with… wings?
“…”
“Can you speak? Are you hurt?” It said again
“…”
“…”
“What the holy hell is going on?!” I shouted as loud as a gunshot.
“Ahhh!” both of the ponies (i guess that's what you call them) recoiled, the yellow one hiding behind some furniture.
“Ah don’t need to shout like that!” Said the orange one, with a southern accent? This keeps getting stranger and stranger
“…”
“Are you goin’ mute again?”
“ummm…” I said with a confused tone of voice “Ok, this is strange, an orange colored pony that can speak, and a yellow pony with wings”
“Umm, it’s actually pegasus” The "pegasus" said still behind the furniture.
“Oh, sorry about that, well could I please have some explaining, because I don’t have the slightest idea of what’s going on” I said
“well…” The orange one said.
One explanation later
“Ok, so let me get his straight, you and Fluttershy were talking and then you heard a strange noise outside, you opened the door and saw me lying on the floor bleeding, bandaged me and put me on the sofa there” I said, pointing at the sofa.
“Yeah, pretty much, and what's your name sugar cube?” Said applejack
“The name's Scott, at your service!”
“Shouldn't we talk to Twilight about Scott?” Fluttershy asked
“Ah figure so, strange lookin' creatures, no offence Scott, are more her thing anyways”
“None taken Applejack, and who is this Twilight?”
“She's one of my friends, I think she could get you back to wherever your your from”
“Yeah, that sounds like a good plan, but before we go, where is all of my stuff?”
“It's on that table over there”
“Alright” I said as I was picking up my weapons “Let's go”
And so we walked/trotted to Twilight's house, it took a little while but we got there faster than I expected.
“Is this Twilight's house?” I asked
“Yeah, and don't ask why she lives in a tree” Said Applejack
“Why?”
“...Just don't ask”
The three of us entered the "house" and it was filled to the brim with books, you couldn't look somewhere and not see a book. I saw what I presumed was Twilight, a Lavender pony with a purple mane and a cutiemark of a star with more stars around it, and she was a unicorn by the looks of it, and besides her was a small lizard creature I was told on the way here by Applejack was named Spike, fitting name to say the least.
“Hi Twilight!” said Applejack
“Oh, I didn't notice you there!” Said Twilight, teleporting closer to us with her magic (I still can't believe that magic exists)
“And what are you?” She said, staring me right in the eyes
“The name's Scott S. Norris, but you can call me Scott”
“Oh, hi Scott, what are you here? And why do your clothes look like a bunch of leaves?”
“A loooooong story, but the short version is: I was in my world, injured my arm, big flashy lights, passed out, woke up, saw Fluttershy and Applejack, had a mini freak out, they explained what the hell is going on, we walked to your house for help, and you asked me what I am, and now we are here”
“Oh” She said “Well, I suppose that you will need a place to rest since you have been pulled out of your world by force”
“Yes, thank you for letting me stay here”
“No problem, I’ll show you where your bed is”
“Alright then!”
We headed upstairs and she showed my bed and a cabinet where I could put all of my stuff, so I put all of my guns on the cabinet and got on to the bed, since it was 11:18 pm already, then I grabbed my journal and my pen.
Day 1 on Equestria
This is my first day on Equestria, I thought it was a little strange at first but it is not so bad after all, I've made a few friends today, the people this land are quite welcoming, and I would rather stay here in this small, peaceful town than on the battlefield, risking my life, I think I will adapt very quickly to this place, but I still miss Sara, That is the only motive I will not stay here forever, I miss you Sara, I hope you're safe.
It was a beautiful morning, the birds were singing, the sun was shining, and Scott had just waken up. He checked his pocket watch, it was early in the morning and he was seeing twilight reading some books downstairs, he decided to join her and also read something, it was a whole new world and he wanted to find out more about it.
“Mind if I join?” He said, picking up a book.
“Not at all!” She answered.
He sat on a chair next to her, reading a mystery novel he thought was interesting, it was titled "The Fears of the Night", he opened the book and started reading…
My job was a private investigator, it paid the bills and even got me a little extra money to play around with, but it wasn't always like that, sometimes I got so much money I didn't know what to do with it and sometimes I couldn't even buy a loaf of bread, but those times are over, now I've got money to sustain myself and even some more.
As I was thinking about calling it a day and coming home early, a mare entered my office, heading straight to my desk.
“Mr. Grier, is it?”
“I see my reputation precedes me” I said, smiling.
“Yes, but I am in need of your services” Said the mare in a more than worried tone
“How may I help you?”
“I need you to Monitor the activities of a certain pony”
‘Seems easy enough’ I thought.
“How much do you need?” She asked.
“How much do you pretend to offer?”
“6000 Bits”
‘Holy Dooley! Did I hear her right? Six Thousand?!’
“That’ll be enough” I said trying to conceal my surprise
“Thank you” She said putting some files in my desk
She left the room and I got to look into the files-
My stomach grumbled like the roar of a lion, getting Twilight’s attention
“Are you hungry?” She asked
“It seems so, I haven’t had breakfast yet”
“Then let’s fix that, and I’ll introduce you to my friends!”
“Good idea, let’s go before I starve to death!”
After walking we got to a house that looks like was made in an oven and then someone sprinkled too much sugar in it, and it smelled like that too! Then after entering the bakery I got some strange looks but I didn’t care too much about that, the smell that was filling the air was absolutely wonderful, it was like my mom’s baked goods, we stayed in line for about five minutes and then we saw a pink pony bringing some juice and cake to us.
“Hey Twilight, and who’s that behind you?” The pink pony said in a high pitched voice
“That’s Scott, he’s a newcomer here in Ponyville”
“Really!?” The pink pony gasped “That means I’ll have to arrange a party for him, does he like cake? I hope, because this party’s gonna have cake in it! And he’s from a different species entirely, this so exiting!” She said, in a speed so fast I almost couldn't understand her
“You don’t need to do that, I’ll be fine without one” I said
“But I always throw a party whenever a new face comes to town, it’s my job!”
“Your job?”
“Yeah!” She said, giving me a card
It read Pinkie Pie! Party thrower extraordinaire, Strange profession, but I was talking to a hyperactive, talking pink pony with a fluffy mane, I stopped questioning things a while ago.
I sighed “Alright, you can throw one”
“Yay!”
Me and twilight took the breakfast and searched for a table, we found one outside and we both started eating, the cake was absolutely delightful, the texture was soft and fluffy, and the taste, don’t even get me started on the taste.
Long story short, that was one heck of a cake, the orange juice was alright too, but compared to the cake it didn’t stand a chance, I finished eating before Twilight did so I looked around, the small town was pretty quiet, the town was calm and I could relax for a bit, this was a nice peaceful place, it kind of reminded me of home, but there was just something off about it, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but it may just be my imagina-
“LOOK OUT BELLOW” Screamed a blue mare above, coming right at me faster than a bullet.
My first instinct was to try and catch the pony, and so I did, but she was going too fast, so we both ended up against a wall, at least I absorbed some of the impact for her, I was a bit dazed, but after regaining my posture I helped her up.
“I'm soooo sorry, are you hurt” She asked worried
“I've been through much worse, no need to worry” I tried to calm her down
“Thanks for absorbing the impact, it think my skull would have fracture if it weren't for you”
“No problem”
“Are you two okay!?” Asked Twilight, just a tiny bit late
“I think so, do you know her?”
“Yeah, that’s Rainbow Dash-”
“The best flier in Equestria!” Rainbow said, with her ego higher than the sun itself.
“Yeah, but you need to be more careful” I said
“Sorry”
“Scott, Let’s go, I have to introduce you to Rarity!” Twilight said
“Let’s go then, see you later rainbow”
“You too!”
Ok, that’s two times I’ve almost died… this week, now taking that off my mind I followed Twilight to a place that was so high class, it almost seemed out of place in this small town.
And inside were so many articles of clothing, and they were beautiful, the pony who made this was not playing around, and the pony who made this was working on another piece of art in another part of the room, which looked as beautiful as the others.
“Hi Rarity!” Twilight said
“Oh, hello Twilight” She turned around, she had a pencil behind her ear, and was wearing red glasses.
“What brings you he- WHAT IS THAT?!” The white pony said pointing at me
“Oh, that is Sco-”
“This is simply preposterous!” She said, interrupting Twilight “Those clothes are simply horrid, who in the right mind would wear clothes like that?!”
I realized I was still in my Camouflage clothing
“I agree” I said
“I’ll fix that right away!”
“There’s no need to” I said
“But I simply must, you can’t just walk around wearing those clothes!”
“Well, I kind of need to wear these clothes”
“Why?”
“Because if don’t I get an assortment of bullets right through my vital organs”
Twilight and Rarity both stared at me in shock, but I just told the truth, if didn't wear that, I’d be Swiss cheese with extra lead.
“Well, I suppose that is a good reason, so what is your name darling?”
“The name’s Scott, at your service!”
“My name is Rarity, and if someday your life is not in danger, I would be pleased to make you some decent clothes”
“Thank you”
Me and Twilight exited that place and were headed to the golden oak library/her house, on the way there we talked a little bit
“What’s the story behind you needing these clothes to live?” She asked
“…I’d prefer not to remember those times”
“Alright” She said a little sad
We got back home pretty quickly, despite the distance between Rarity’s house and Twilight’s house, I guess I was too distracted with the scenery on the way home.
We got in, and we both went our ways, I got a history book about Equestria and read it on my bed, I did not want to miss out on important information that I could need, and also to avoid obvious mistakes on the history of this place and be awkwardly corrected, the history of this place is fascinating, and when I finished reading the book it was night already, I guess time flies when you are having fun, and I did have fun reading that book, and I learned a lot from it.
I got up and put the book in its respective place, and got back on bed, with my journal and pen in hand:
Day 2 in Equestria
Today I got to meet twilight’s friends and it was a pleasure doing so, each of their personalities is very unique and they are pretty nice ponies too, this place feels like home, but something seems off about it, but I’m sure it’s just my imagination. Another good day in this beautiful realm, may tomorrow be a good day, and that nothing bad happens to anyone.
