A Unicorn on Earth

Mondays took a lot out of me these days... Maybe it was just the fact I got to bed so late on a Sundays and Mondays were just so annoying... I was in the easiest year of school as well, things were going to get a lot more difficult next year and here I was complaining. I walked home with my friends, one headphone off the ear, one headphone on.

When we got to my house and I turned down the driveway, my friend yelled, "Tell your brother he's a Hobbit!"

"Yeah, yeah!" I shouted back, grinning to myself. I unlocked the front door and stepped in, sighing loudly as I dumped my bag down on the floor and taking out everything that needed to go into the kitchen and chucking it on the floor and leaving the school books and pencil case inside and trudging up the stairs to my room. I dumped the bag in my tiny room. It was filled with total junk and dust. MLP cards on the side and the card stand ups of Twilight, Fluttershy, Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell on the stereo, a small bookshelf and 2 more shelves filled with ornaments and my jewellery box.

I stomped back downstairs, turning into the computer room and booting it up, it made a horrendous whirring sound. I shuddered and tried my best to ignore it as I picked up the stuff that needed to go into the kitchen and opened the door into the lounge as best I could, my hands full, shoving it open with my foot. I inhaled, but at the sight in the next room, the air was quickly expired faster than I would have liked.

There, laying on the ground, completely passed out, was... Rarity? My first thought was, 'Oh my God. A Unicorn. From Equestria. In our Universe. In my house.', my second thought was, 'Damn... I hoped if any of the cast from MLP appeared in my house, it'd be Fluttershy...' I clearly had my thoughts in order. I shook those thoughts out my head, doing what I should have done in the first place and went to help her, dropping my things. Not knowing what to do of course, I just lifted her up in a sitting up position. I couldn't leave her here, more importantly, how would people react if they saw a Unicorn in my house?

It didn't take much effort to get her up the stairs and into my room without my brother noticing. She was surprisingly light and my brother spent most of his time cooped up in his room, likely playing League of Legends and listening to a pod-cast at the same time. Not knowing what else to do, I put her under the bedsheets and went downstairs to do my chores and put my stuff away. When I'd finished, I went upstairs to check on Rarity.

I stayed there for around half an hour, looking up at the clock occasionally to check the time. My parents came back at five. At about 4:45, she started to come around. I had no idea what she was going to say to me, how she was going to react, after all, I'm pretty sure that none of the ponies except Twilight had seen a human before... Except in the fanfics, but they didn't really happen, in the series...

She didn't look at me straight away, putting a hoof to her forehead, "W-where in Celestia's name am I?" Her eyes met mine and her eyes widened, "Oh Sweet Celestia, is this a dream?" My eyebrows were pulled up in a worried expression, "I-I don't think so..." Rarity looked like she was about to faint, as she was so infamously known for, "D-don't faint, I found you in my house, I-I have no idea what you're doing here, but I'm not here to do anything nasty..."

"Darling, no offence but I don't even know what you are."

"I'm a human, but I don't think you've ever seen a human have you?" She shook her head,

"Not at all." I think she was getting irritated by my hair. It was messy and tangled, I hadn't brushed it in a while...

I heard a slam of a front door and I had to think quickly and whispered, "Look, Rarity I can't risk anyone seeing you right now, so I'm going to go downstairs and I'm going to act as if it's a normal school night. I would prefer it if you either stayed in the bed and didn't move, or hide under the bed."

"Right... Wait a second, how did you know my name?" She asked, jumping out of the bed and lifting up the sheets to reveal the underneath of the bed. "Uh... I-it's a long story, I-I'll tell you sometime when we're alone..."

"AJ!" My parents yelled from downstairs (Yeah, my nickname is AJ. But not that AJ.)

"Yeah, I'm here!" I yelled back, but then turned to where Rarity was, "Just don't make any noise and I'll come to tell you more about this world another time." Rarity looked at me sceptically and I couldn't blame her. Here she was, in another universe separate from her own, but now she was being told by something she'd never seen before and that somehow knows her name that she doesn't mean her any harm and that she's trying to help. I just crossed my fingers that she hadn't seen the stand-ups of her sister, her sister's friend and two of her friends.

"Just sit tight and I'll be back up later..." At this I left for the downstairs. I knew Rarity wouldn't really do anything stupid, she could be level headed when she wanted to.

Well, this was undignified. The dust underneath here was far too thick for my liking. I couldn't help but cough a few times. I could hear something coming from another room; it sounded like talking and had some rather... Uncouth language. I tried my best to block it out, as I could hear another person stomp up the stairs. I was not going to budge from under here regardless. I just had to keep quiet and hopefully I would get some answers when the time called for it, like why on Equestria did she have stand-ups of two of my friends, my sister and one of her friends here? I tried not to think too deeply, but I instead waited patiently, not even daring to poke my head out. How long was I going to be here for anyway?
