The Totally Normal Life of a Quantum Physicist

By rradt2001

Today was the worst day in my existence, I mean, turning yourself into another creature, talking to the department of defense, and making sure I didn't die. So, yeah, bad day, lets go to the beginning of how this came to be.

It had been about a day, or two ago when I was trying to figure out how to solve the population crisis, of course it was a bad day, I mean, talking to the president, in secret obviously, The Pentagon, and the defense section is tough. After I was done talking to them I went to my room to brainstorm ideas. After awhile I had the best idea ever! Make a portal to another dimension! I, of course had the plans to make one already, so I called the local metal gatherer and the local gem person guy, seriously what do you call those guys?! I had a gateway to make!

A few hours later the portal was done, don't ask me how, but it was done. So I hooked it up to the local power grid, hoping it wouldn't blow it up, and started it up. It gave a slight glow and a quite loud hum as it turned on, leaving me and anyone near my window in awe.

"Next thing, destination!" I said.

"Hmm somewhere with plants oxygen based atmosphere, and life!"

I yelled as I punched in code for the machine to read. Sadly the next thing I heard was a loud, and I mean LOUD explosion. I couldn't hear well though, I mean, I was rendered unconscious.

Possibly a few hours later I woke up to the most awesome thing, a portal to another Earth like world. Except the words on the screen wanted to make me curl up in a ball and cry to death. The screen said 'WARNING: DO NOT ENTER UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN REFORMATTED FOR THIS DIMENSION' which meant you had to change species to go in.

A few MORE hours later I had finally prepared another machine to change me into the species that was required. Of course I called over a few friends.

"You guys ready for this?" I said ,excitement in my voice.

"As long as we don't turn into cats with tentacle legs again, Ethan." Stated Maria. Remembering the time when we had to try to navigate a world, with tentacle legs.

"Yea that was a miserable time." Replied Travis.

"Then lets do this!" I yelled.

Next thing I knew I woke up to a blue sky with oddly shaped clouds.

'Yeaaaah, this is weird' I thought.

The clouds were beautiful but seemingly alike. Almost as if they were duplicates.

"Sound off." I said my voice cracking a bit from the transformation.

"Here." Replied Maria.

"Here, obviously." Replied Travis.

"Okay, so were not missing anyone?" I stated.

"Nope." Travis said.

"Whelp, instead of just sitting here why don't we get up?" Maria stated, sounding slightly annoyed.

It took us about five to six minutes to get up, when we did get up we saw what we looked like, ponies, yeah, we looked like ponies of all the animals out there, well actually I was the only person to notice we were ponies not horses. Basic anatomy stuff. Oddly enough I noticed Maria was a unicorn, and Travis was a pegasus. But he also pointed out I was one too. A cyan coated orange maned pony. The last thing I remember doing before passing out was this.

"What the heck?" I stated for the last time in a while.

I woke up to the sound of someone talking, not one of my friends, so I decided to try to find out who they were. The cool morning breeze, lapped at my new fur. This was one of the most peaceful times. The formidable tree's leaves shaking in the wind, making that peaceful sound you may only hear a few times in your life. It made me not want to ever wake, but I had to to make sure this person was not a threat.

"Whrr rr yauu annd why rr u disterbing usss." I said, sounding as if I were drunk. This was a good sign, meaning that the motor controls finally caught up and they had fixed themselves.

"Oh, hi, my name is Pinkie Pie and I was just wondering, what are you doing lying down in a forest?" Said Pinkie Pie

"If I told you, you would pass out." I stated finally getting my mouth to make words.

Matter of fact, we were in a forest of sorts, the trees though were tall and formidable. But there was one thing.

"What are you doing in a forest, Pinkie Pie?" I asked.

"Well I wanted to get some flowers for a party coming up." She answered.

"Ohh, who's hosting?" Travis asked eagerly.

"Me, silly! Why would I be in a forest if I wasn't hosting." Said Pinkie Pie

"Oh" Said Maria.

"Do you mind if we follow you?" I asked.

"Sure as long as you help pick flowers!" Said Pinkie Pie.

After awhile of picking flowers that Pinkie Pie said we had to pick up, I heard an odd sound and smell. The smell was so nauseating that we had to step away from it. Unbeknownst to me at the time this was the horrible odor of a wood wolf, I mean literally, a wolf made of wood.

"Hey Pinkie? What's that smell?" Said Travis, asking the pink pony.

"Um, the s-s-smell of a timber wolf." Pinkie said staring in no particular direction, eyes the size of pin-pricks.

"What?" Travis asked.

All the pink pony did was point, of course, we looked at where she was pointing to see a massive wolf, made out of wood! Of course you can kinda guess what happened from then on, running, lots of running.

"Why the hell did I decide to do this!" I screamed, running as fast as I could.

Of course that meant a lot of stumbling. We got lucky and the wolf tripped on a log, yeah how ironic, and broke apart. Once we got all the way back to an area where we could rest, I stopped, breathed, and relaxed.

"Lets never do that again." I wheezed.

Of course, I forgot to describe my friends to the pinpoint, Travis was a black coated and red maned pegasus. Maria was a green coated and crimson colored unicorn.. Not the weirdest thing, but not the most common.

"So Pinkie Pie, what do you plan on doing next?" I asked.

"Hm, ah! Are you available tomorrow?" She asked.

"Uhh, yeah we don't have anything to do here yet." Maria stated.

"Good! I will introduce you to my friends tomorrow at ten o'clock." Pinkie Pie stated, almost overwhelmed with excitement.

"Why tomorrow?" Travis asked.

So this is all I went through till now. This is probably the worst I'll face. I mean what else could go wrong?

Author's Note

Yay a small chapter for the prologue I guess.

Yes this was rushed, I have no editor/proofreader. I will make sure I don't rush it in later chapters.
